The resolution was chair announced that th read athird time, the the bill now pass. The yeas and nays were demanded. Senator Collins “explained his vote. The constitution provided that all bills should be sent to the governor for his signaturo; that that oficial had fivo days for the exclu- sive purpose of considering those bills before returning them to the legislature, In the or- dinary course of business, sufiicient time would ot bs allowed him 'in which to co- sider this bill and return it either with or without hisapproval. Hence he could not act on this ure in the time which ob- tained before the date sct for the heari 0 the conte: 1t he should return the resolution without his signature on the day after the date set for the hearing of the contest, it would be- come alaw, The state would then have a law on its statute books providing for a con- test, when no such contest could place, The senator was unwilling to throw away an opportunity to hear a coutest which had been considered” advisable. [f the independents did anything of the kind they would not oniy gointo the hole but would also draw the hole in aftor them. Thebest way to do was to vote down the resolution and begin de novo. The roll call was ordered, After it had been made, and before the result was an- nounced, Senator Poynter moved that the ssolution be recommitted tothe committeo of the whole. enator Switzler raised the point of order that no bus could bo transacted before the result of the vote was anuounced, The chair considered the point for a few moments, the while burying himself in the blue book containing the rules of the senate. lle at length asked the secre rule The secretary read, ‘which origi the res moved that the commit- ommend that the reso- again rean and tho anie having been question was should e, beford ol avote was declared, be recom- Switzler again rose to his feet and sfated that the chair had overlooked the fact that the rule contemplated a resolution originating in the seuate. The rule did not cover the point in controversy. The resolu- tion under consideration had originated in the houso. The chair again deliberated, He read the rule again und decided that in the absence of arule bearing directly on the case he would hold that the ruling already given would stand, and that he would entertain Senator Povnter’'s motion, Senator Keiper rose to apoint of order, The rule 1 question required the motion to recommit to be made before the declaring of thevotoon the resolution. The declara- tion of tho vote, it was true, had not been made, but the vote had actually been com- pleted, which was in effect a declaration. T'ho chair would not recede from his posi- tion. Senator Poynter said the reason he had moved to recommit was because the senate did not have time to amend the resolution and send it to the governor in time to have it signed before the time set for the contest. 11" the resolution should pass as it then stood it would deny rights to men who had sought this contest and who were entitled to & hearing, These men bad spent their money in this matter aud they ought not to have spent it in vain, If the senate refused to hear the case it would act justas a court of justice would in saying after having read the papers, **You have 1o case,” and then tako and throw the papers outof court. There was no justice in such amove, The senate knew nothing about this case save what it had read in the papers. That was not testimony. ‘'hey did not know what evidenco these con- testoes had, It was through an unforeseen accident that they did not have time at this late hour to set the matter right. Senator Switzlerasked that the chair de- clare the result of the vote. Sevator Keiper said he wanted to know if the senator (Poynter) was soanxious to have the resolution recommitted for improvement why he had notso moved when the resolu- tion was before the committee on the whole. Senator Poynter said the reason he had not. done 50 was because at the time he was in the chair and could not preside and make o motion at the same time. The independent lobbyists who were ex- periencit g some of the pangs of misery made an atte:npl to get up @ laugh at the cxpense of Senator Keiper, but were knocked out by the latter’s hasty reply to Senator Poyuter, In substance the reply was thatif the sen- ator from Boone wanted a recommittment very badly he could easily have retired from the” chair. and called- some other person to preside. He had seon such .a thing doue several times. 1f these peoplo had been victims of an unforseen ac- adent it was their own fault, and they should bear the cousequences of the slip. Senator lins said ho was in favor of de- ciding the contest on its morits. That was why he contended the contest should be car- ried out strictly under the requirements of the constitution. That was why he was now in favor of voting down the sure, intro- dud anotherde novo which would be de- prived of verbiage, The fact that the senate fiad taken a vote upon the matter coatd bo taken as evidence in the court. Senator KKggieston of Lancaster, who had said nothing during the debate, movea that the otion Lo recoumit be laid on the table, The yeas aud nays wore called for, and while the vote was beiug taken Senator Dysart expiamed his vote, ome of the members of the senate, he suid. wero great constitutional lawyers. In the eariier part of the session there was scarcely anything that could be done, because it was nearly all uncoastitutionsl. Now if they wished to lay claim to be leaders on a constitutional basis, why didn't they stand by the constitu- tion. Ho didw't bedeve all that is said by those who are talking 8bout tho constitution. What they really Wauted todo was to evade the constitution. ‘The senate ought to hear the coutest because it had been begun in a legal manner, and be- cause It had been supported by the people. He believed that any man on the floor of the senate who would yvote to kuock out the reso- lution would staud condemned by his con- stituents. He wanted the men who were leading tohave more than o techuicality to change their minds on the subject, Saustor Raudall of Phelps said that tho Schram, | Michener, Shum- | | taken, and rosolution whs an important ono to them.

Lixcory, Neb., Feb, 11.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—The house committee on privileges and electious held a very animatea session, considering the contest vase against Church Howe. The vote finally stood a tie on dropping the matter. The house will be asked to empower the committee to send for rsons aud papers, and a lively time is pro- icted. Howe was defended by Judge Hay- ward of Nebraska City, THE UNION PACIFIC MORTGAGE. The Senate Memorializes Congress to Foreclose 1t. Laxcory, Neb., Fev. 11.—[Special to Tne Ber.|-—When bills on generul file in the sen- ate were announced, concurrent resolution No. 2 was first. This resolution was read. 1t petitions the United States government to foreclose the mortgage upon the Union Pa- cific railroad. Senator Coulter moved that when the com- mittee of tbe whole rose it report the bill back with the recommendation that itdo pass. Senator Moore said there was a bill on the subject as that contained in the resolu- tion before congress at the present time and he was lacking in information as to how the resolution under consideration would affect that bill and hoped some senator would en- lighten him. ‘'hesenator held in his hand a newspaper clipping which he said was a copy of the bill now 1n congress, Senator Switzler said that if the gentleman would haud him the clipping he would give the information desired. He said that the bill before congress did nuot contem- plate foreclosing the mortgage of the of the government upon the property of the Union Pacite, simply because the latter had defaulted, It proposed to let the tie elapse and then take possession, buying up the bonds of the company and paying the out- stauding indebtedness of the road. The mortgage did not become due untit 1535 und 1896 and it was ot pertinent now to make a move to foreclose. Rather a resolution should be framed which should be in accordance with the bill now before congress. Senator Keiper said it would be better to pass the resolution, even in the light of what had been said agai it. The Union Pacific had not complied with the terms of its con- tracts or its grants, The senate ought to take action on the subject because of the manner in which the road had violated every obligu- tion. Senator Hoar had said that from the timeof its inception every step had been attened with fraud and that Lo had seen higb-minded judges driven from the courts by the threat of impeachmeut. The road had justified the statement that it had been conceived in fraud and raised in verfidy. It had mortgagea its lands, and while the settlers of the state, sufferers fromn grasshoppers and fire, were compelled to pay their taxes, the Union Pacitie escaped pay- ment of its taxes by the claim that the title was not vested in it, and the supreme court of the United States had stood by it. If the title to those lands was not in the company, how could the company mortgage them. The Tnited States said they should pay taxes if they surveyed their lands, sud they escaped tho taxes and had all aloug been escaping them. The resolution under cousideration would hurt no one, evenif it should be passed. : Senator Mattes noted that the resolution was not printed and in the files of the mem- bers, and hie was opposed to further consid- eratiou of the matter. Senator Switzlor said the interests of the United States would be impaired if the bill now before cougress should be passed Senator Keiper waoted to know if the con- dition of the voad had not been getting worse | and the audacity of the management greater | than ever before ! The senator from Douglas truth of all the senator fi ree had said, notwithstanding that the resolution would bo a detriment to the United Statos, Senator Matte ected ion of wo resolution ator Moore suid he did not wish to a pear as a champion of the Union Pacific.
