PART ONE: WAITING FOR TAYLOR Nebraska's Senators §till Unable to Turn ONE MISSING MAN STOPS THE MACHINE, Many Suggestions Offered for Undoing the COUNCIL BLUFFS HOLDS THE KEY NOW. At Any Rate WHERE THE Discussion of’ the Sit TWENTIETH o Ringle Legislative Wheel, Parliamentary Tangle, the Fleeting Senator Has Lodged Over There. RESPONSIBILITY RESTS, tion—Haow the Senators Pass the Time—Prob- abilitics of a Dis- solution. Lixcovy, Neb., March 21..-]Special to Tur Bee. | —This morning the order of the presi: dent of the senateas to the exclusion of out- siders during the deadlock was put into ef fect. The omnipresent lobbyist and the self. important pettifogger got no farther than the entral There they found a relay of ser geants-at-arms, whous they could not prevail upor: to allow them to pass, The members of the house, as they passed to their cham. looked through tho panes in the door at luckless brothers, laughed and pitied n and wondered how long the show would continue. Friends of the caged legislators sent in cigars by the box, and the ladies at the lunch stand cheerfully informed them that they had laid in asupply of rations for two weeks. At 8:30 o'clock Senator Van Housen, as the lnst of along line of presidents who had ruled du > more ing thenight, fatigued of the sen: occupied the chair, tors had not yet arisen from their improvised couches on the floor and eisewhere, when Senator Dysart commenced to bombard the chair with the reminise edings under the cull of pensed with, This was met by from the opposition. Senator Dysart then moved that the secre- tary take down the names of the objectors, Senators Schram, Collius, Starbuck, Woods and Mattes. Senator Switzler that t motion that further pr the house be dis: five stalwart objections objected, on the ground there was no regulation, no law, no ority for taking the names of those who sted. All that the rule contemplated was that five senators should object. The objec tion was sustained by the chai; Senator Warner thon took aturnin at- tempting to dispense with further proceed- fugs under the call, but without success. Senator Stevens took a hand, and Senator Poynter helped him, and they also failed. Then Senator Stevens moved that the yeas and nays bo taken on the suspension of the call. Senator Poynter again seconded the wotion, Senator Stevens fortified himselr with an alleged precedent, which he found in the senate journal of 1880, On a motion to suspend further proceedings under the call of the house in that session, the presid- ing officer allowed theyeas and nays to be alled. Senator Swiatzler rose toa pont of order. He held that a vote was not necossary, and that there was no law authorizing it. The vote was not even a precedent beeause in the case in powt objection was made, and_also because there had been no ruliug of the chair. The rules of the senate also specitied when the yeas and nays might and should bo taket. The fact that they did not provide for them in this instance was conclusive that they were not allowable. The point of order was sustained by the chai Senator Poynter rushed to the breach, but was as promptly driven back, He said ‘that it was evident that Senator Taylor cculd not be found, and he moved that further proceed- fngs under the cul be dispensed with, The objections knocked him out. Then it becamo Serator Keiper's turn, Ho arose with Jeflorson’s munuel in one hand and the rules of the senate in the other. He wanted to make a motion and would male it in good faith. He moved that Senator Tay- lor be oxcused, and did it upon the authority of Jeffersou’s manuel, governng the house of represontatives in Washington, The rule says that upon a call of the house, the names of the membors shall be called ‘and the al- sentees noted ; after which the names of the absentees shail agan b ealled. The doors shall then bo shut, and those for whom 1o excuso or insuflicient excuses ave made may, by order of thosepresent, 1f fifteen in numbe bo taken into eusiody as’ they avpear or mi bo sent for, and taken into custody wherev found by shocial messengers to be_appointed for that purpose. Under this rule he beld that Taylor could bo excuspd. The senate rule also provided that the call of the house should not be suspended unless ull members who are not excused are prosent, the senator holding that the words “who are not ex cused” implied that the absentees might he excused, and that this case would fit that of Mr. Taylor, Healso claimed that the matter might be settled by alowing an appeal. Senator Matles rose to u point of ovder, Absentees conld not bo excused until they presented themsolves, Tho chair declured the point of order well taken, Senator Keiper then appealed from the de- ion of the chair. “The president replied that he did not recog. nize the senator for that purpose. At noon, Senator Steveus tried tack. He said that he velieved courso paisued by the senate not only unwarranted by’ law, but was ubsolutely revolutionary. The position that the prdsi- dent had taken, he held, was_untenable from the first. The chair had had 1o right to en- tertam a motion to adjourn frowm the first, That was o _qualified motion, and thus be- came the principal motion, and should have been put before the motion on the call of the house. Tho entertaining of the latter motion was au error in ruling by the chair. If that were so then any sub- sequent act became a nullity. On @ mis- taken ruling of the chair or the call of the house, they were held there today, This action was ' most revolutionary in its | character. There was no power in Nebraska which could dissolye the body save that of mutual consent, which, however, was not likely to be experienced. Such a 'ruling was not abligatory on thesenate, The supreme court of this state, and of evory stato in the union, had made liberal construction of the organic law and such should be done in cou- struing tho rules governing the senate, By virtue of the objection of five men, the body was paralyzed al the expense of the thou- sandy of juhabitants of the state, and per- haps at the expense of hundreds of thousands o another that the of dollars, It was the duty of the chair to reconsider his action and ‘ruling, otherwise the peovle would hold bim responsi- blo for " the consequences. o also believed that they would hold the party, [the _opposition] responsible for the money which this deadlock would squandpr, aud We injurious effect it would have upon the legislation which the people veeded and for which they had sent them to Lincoln. Senator Switzler rose to a question of privilege. He referred to the fact that it Was 4 wember of the party to which Seuator THE OMAHA SuNDAY BEE YEAR. ()\IAHA SUNDAY MOR I U MAR(II 99 ~dy 1891 —SIXTEEN Stevens belonged who had pr deadlock, and thatno fust criticism could be made of the position_the opposition had as- sumed. It was the duty of every leaislator to use honorable means ‘o defeat victous leg- islation.

It had been openly charged that the senator from Lincolu had denounced in the severest manner it was possible for a man to denounce anything, the bill in ques- tion, and that it had been urwed that tho same senator's support of the bill had been forced upon him by outside influcnces. He did not wish to chargo these things, but he ave them simoly as ho heard them At 12:30 the presiding Elder of tk house stuck his moustach between the doors at the entrance, waved his hand and shouted, “stay with “er boys,” and then the senators laighe Some of the senators went in r and othors had thoir meals brought to lays to dinner tho diously w > members are afternoon wore along t cident to be noted, Il tired and will rest tonight Effects of the Call, There have been hundreds of calls of the house in the Nebraska legislature but none have attracted the attention which this one hus or s likely to before it will have been brought to a close. At the last session there was a call of the house which lasted from 10 o'clock at night until 2 o’clock the next morning. 'I'his delay was occasioned by Senntor Taggart, the sergeant-at-arins went after to ¥ The missing member, however, was on tho way returning to the one of the way stations, His vote manded on the prohibition questior. This deadlock now lasted thirty-six hours and nothing, but a compromise, can prevent its being continued until the close” of the session. If itshould be con tinued tll then, it will have the effect of stopping all legislation now under considera- tion. The president of the senate can enter- tain no motion of any kind while the call re mains in force. He ean allow discussion on 10 bill, neither can he receive a communica- tion of any kiud from the house. For this reason he” has ordered the sergcants-at-arms low o clerk, member of the house nor speaker 10 enter the hall, Asa con- sequence one of the clerks of the house stood at the door all today with a bundle of bills passed by the former and intended to be de- livered to the senate. Disgusted Independents, Many people held that the vailroad which has been the cause of all this even if passed, would be knocked out courts, - They ‘also hold that such_be caso it is adyisable to put the bill shape as will enable itin the first place to secure the governor's signature and next stand the attacks of the corporation attor- neys. if the call of the house be succeessful m breaking down the independents, it will have had the desired effect upon the measuro, and bill, trouble, by the g the in such the people will be given the legislation which they haye demanded. The independents, however, say they will have nothing to do with compromise. They will pass the whole bill or none at all. If they should pass the whole bill, which is vern doubtful, they will I Governor to assume the responsibility of killing This is considered remarkuble, espe- 1y when it is known that many of the in- dependents prefer tho Stevens bill, but for some unknown reason fear to give ex pression 10 their preference, The heads of the leading independents have been together a grdat deal today, trying to devise some ways and means of expelling Taylor from the senate. Those of them who have ventured bovond the senate chamber have souwht legal advice on the subject, and it 15 expected that on Monday next an attempt will be made to have this plan car- ried into effect. The opposition, however, has no fears. vlor caunot bo expelled without being notified to appear and answer to some chargo which may be preferred, and submitting to an investigation or trial. Late this afternoon Sergeant-at-Arms Ih'l by telegraphed Lieutenant Governor Ma- ‘that he had found Senator Taylor in Couneil Bluffs, and requesting tho. forer to secure a requisition. The communication was referred to Governor Boyd who, how- ever, had gone to Omaha. Tomorrow will be a day of restto many people in this city, but to the senators of the great state of Nebraska, it will bo a part of aday almost as long as that of the polar re- gions aud_which commenced last night at Boy it. Sleep'ng on Cots. Lixcony, Neb, March 2| Special Tele- gram to Tne Bee. |—At 11 0'clock both par- ties were calmly slumbering on cots. A truce had been signed, holding good till 9 in the morning. Neither Senator Taylor nor the sergeant-at-arms have returued to the city. It 1s rumored that the independents intend on Mouday to oust Lieutenant Governor Majors, instull President pro tempore Poyn- ter, and gonhead with legislation. Senator Coulter, who is sick, will be brought in, and this the independents claim will give them votes enough to rule. Taylor in Council Blufrs, * It was learned yesterday morning that the senator had avrived in Council Bluffs Friday night and had put up at the house of nis mother, 816 South Sixth street. A call was made there by aBrx reporter, but the geutle- man was notat homo. Taylor has a brother who keeps a saloon and biltiard hall at 10 South Main street, and that place was the next visited. J. R. Taylor, the brother, stated that the seuator had been at the sa- loon and also at his mother's house, but where e went from there e did not know. L. B. Derby, the sergeant-at-arms of the senate, was found at the Pacific house, suf- oring from an attack of erip brouvht on by the exposure which he had 1o undergo Fr night whilo searching for the recreant tor. He said that hisassistant’ L, A, , was out hunting for Taylor, but that d him. Hesaid, in fact, that ho did not care to arrest him, for if heshould do 50 he could not take him across the river without a requisition, and he did not beheve the governor could grant a requisition iy o case of that kiud, even if he had the incling. tion. He said the main thing he wanted to do now was to locate him, and if matiers shaped themselves so that it would do any good to arrest him he would do so Another visit at the home of Mrs. Taylo on Sixth street, last evening developed tl fact that the senatov had left there about noon, saying he was bound for Lincoln. M. Beltzer was asked what he thought of the statement of the sister of Taylor, to the effect that his man had returned to Lincoln *I don't think very much about it was the roply. “In my businessoue can't’ think son Beltzey he had not arreste very much, at least for publication going to wait here for o while, anyw find out where he is it possible.” Derby is sick abed now, and 1 can'tgo back to Lin- coln just yet without him, ar:d he is too sick 10 be moved." In spite of the gentleman's_effort to appear commwittal it was evident that he had not faith 1 the report thag Taylor had gone back. He believed that Taylor was in constant com- munication with the mer in Lincoln who had induced him to leave and that he would be until his partof tho programme had been complete e ARRESTED FOR FORGERY. the Piano Swindlirs Caught a Telegram from Omaha OcnEs, Utah, Mareh Jlark, @ promi- nent wusio dealer here, representing many of the promiuent piano companies of the east, wus arrested here today on @ telegram frou Omaba, charged with forgery.
