The senate has passed Mr. Manderson’s bill making ap- propriation for the issue of advance stores and supplies 1o the state of Nebraska to re- place similar ones destroyed by fire at Milford January 18, 1502. There have been duricg the present session of congross a large number of bills of local interest to Nebraska passea by the senate and sent to the house, where not a single one of them has recoived final consideration. Probably two dozen of bills of very great importance to Nebaska, and a score of pri. vate bills have also been introduced ‘by Ne- braska's two senators for their constituents and passed by the senato, but since the de- varture of the measures for tue house noth- fug bas been heard of them. Mensures Now In the House, Tne Bee correspondent recalls to mind several of the local bills which have been passed by the seuate and which have been left to flounder as best they could in the house, where none of them huve been passea, anda there is very lite, if any, real hope for them. Among the prominent ones are Mr. Man- derson's bills appropriating $100,000 for a public building at Norfolk; avpropriating an additional $500,000 for the public builaing at Omena; donating twenty acres of land from Fort Siduey military reservation tothe city of Sidrey for cemetery purposes; Appro- priatiog §60,000 for the construction of mili- tary storehouse buildines at the Omaba mili- tary depot; replacing to Neoraska the issue of ordnanco stores and supplies destroyed by fire at Milford: also n numver of bills by Mr. Paddock and the bills providing for the sur- vey and marking of the boundary between ho states of Nebraska and South Dakota in the vicinty of Pine Ridge and Roscoud res ervations: making appronriations for a pub- lic building at Hastings; tor the relief of John Little and Hobart Williams of Omaba, atc. All of these bills and many more of direct Interest to Nebraska as a state and her citi- vens, personally and iudividually, have been passed at the present sossion of tho senate, und are dying in the cuse. Itmay he argued by tho three representatives from Nebraska in extenuation of their derchiction of duty that they will get these and the other bills through the house at the next session, but that is mockery. It is a notorious fact that 10 bilis of this character are passed except on extraordinary occasious, at the second session of @ congress, as that session ouly lasts ten weeks, and is consumed by the con- sideration of appropriation bills which must be passed. ‘Washington Republicans Interested. Hou. Robert P. Porter, superintendent of the ceusus and one of the best posted tariff speakers in the country, as well as & walking encyclopedia upon all industrial sub jects, will uddress the Nebraska Kepublican association of this city at its next regular meeting, the first Monday evening in Juno, upon the subject of tho relation of the iariff 10 western industry. A large attendance and & rare inteliectual treat are expected. Ne- braskans and others who heard the speeches delivered at the meeting of the association “last Monday eveniug_are commenting very bighly upon thom. The principal speeches were delivered by Senator Manderson and Sergeant-at-Arms Valentine. Senator Mander- son puid President Harrison's administration w splendid tribute. Ho said it was so pure and strong that it was hardly necessary for the Nebraska ropublicans 1o instruct their delogates 1o vote for the president’s renomi- nation at Minneapolis, as they would natur- ally gravitate toward a president of this measure. He gave free coinage a telling blow and eulogized the working of the new tariff law. He predicted a bright future for the government nad the republican party. Above Corrupting In Senator Paddock today called the atten- tion of Tue BEee correspondent to an evi- dence of the sterling honesty of the repre- sentatives of the press of Nebraska and sev- eral other parts of the country in connection with the latest scheme to defeat his pure food oill now before the house. A large pumber of the publishers of newspapers in Nevoraska have forwarded to Senator Pad- dook copies of tue circular received by them from Bates & Co., the adverusing agents who threaten to withdraw from publishers their patent medicine advertisements if the pure food bill is permittea to become 8 law and sppealing to them upon these mercenary grounds to influence their represcutatives in congress to work and vote agaicst the bill. Senator Paddock says he wauts no better evidence of the fact that the publishers of Nebraska and elso- where are above corrupting infiuences than the mere fact that they have paia no atten tion 10 the circular of Bates & Co. further e to forward 1t to him for the purpose of showing what means are beiuz resorted to for the purpose of defeating & measure in- tended for the public weal, Comptroller Lucey Will Retire. Chicago will have a new bauk manager at an carly day and the government will have a new comptroller of the currency. Comp- troller Lacey has under consideration sev- eral offers which have been made w him re- cently to take the management of one of sev- eral banking institutions in Chicago. He says he bas not yet concluded which of them be will msocept. His friends say, however, that there is no doubt as to his accepting one of them. His retirement from the comp- trollersbip of the currency would take place at once if it were not for " the fact that con- gross 1s now investigating Lbo action of the comptroller's ofice the Muverick and the Keystone bank failures. Mr. Lacey does not desire to retre und fire as he 1s certawn that investigatious c not result other thau as a vindication towsard his course. He has already satisfied the Maverick depositors by giving them 75 cents ~ag the dollar, while the Keystone depositors feel that the fault so far as the government was concerued was in lax or aishonest in- spection by bank examiners, who failed to report the status of affairs to the comptroller. Mr. Lacey owed bis appointment to the comptrollership largely to the Chicago bankers, and now that be is about to retire they desire to have him as one of their num- o8, Will Break the Solld South.

Mr. Graham, a Soclalist Member, Suspended from the House of Commons. Loxnox, May 4.—Mr. Kichard Haldane's bill to confer upon local authorities power to compel land owners to scll their land, in order that it may be divided into small hold- ings, was discussed in the House of Com- mons today. Mr. Herbert Asquith (advanced liberal), member for East Fifeshire, spoke quietly in favor of the measure, He contended that the owner of the land on whick human resi- dences are built is not entitied to the im- vrovea value of the land due to the increase of tho population. In that respect, Mr. Asquith beld, land differed from consols or a commercial enterprise. Before e had an_cpportunity, however, to oxplain wherein tho difference lies he was interrupted by Mr. Cunningham E. Grabam, the socialist, Who represents tne northwest livision of Lunarkshire, who excitedly asked : How about saddling the sharcholders in a company 1 Amid cries of order, Mr. Grahem shouted: “I bave o right to explain, This is a swind- ling speech.’ The house was in great confusion and the speaker, Right Hon. Arthur Wellesiey Peel, calied Mr. Graham to order. The latter refused to be silent, and finally the speaker said: *“The conduct of the mem- ber is such that 1am compelled to name Mr. Graham.” This action was greeted with cheers. Mr. Graham retorteda: ‘‘All right, namea for standing up for socialism.” This caused renewed confusion, and at last Right Hon. Heury Matthews, the home sec- retary, arose and moved Mr. Graham be suspended. To this Mr. Graham said: “Oh, suspend! 1 don’t care.” Mr. Matthews' motion was seconded, put to the house and adopted without a dissent ing vote. The suspension is for one week. ‘When the result was announced Mr. Gra ham said: “Mr. Speaker, I beg to apologize for any appurent discourtesy to you, but I coosider that I have been suspended for standing up for socialism. I would be glad 10 argue the question before 100,000 people 1n Hyde park,” Dnring the scene Sir John Lubbock, who was sitting near Mr. Grahaw, tried 1o con- trol the latter, urzing him to obey the soeaker’s call Lo order. Mr. Graham in respocse to these well in- tentioned efforts said: *'I don't care « d—n. 1 have been named for talking socialism.” Immediately after the motion suspending bim wae adopted, Mr. Grabam walked with a swaggering gait down the floor, saying as he went: “This houso is aswindle.” I am suspended as a socialist.” He talked until e door closed vehind him. B The discussion of Mr. Haldane's bill was then rosumed. When the measure was put toa vote the house rejected it. Forty-six members voted in favor of it and 223 against it. S G ENTITLED TU N0 REMEDY. I am Story of an Omaba Transaction Revived in Chicngo. CuicAGo, I, May 4.—|Special Telegram to Tas BeE,]—*The bill is in effect simply a pold and bare attempt to induce & court of equity to enforce an illegal and void agree- mert, and toe demurrer to it was properly sustained,” says the appellate court in deciding 'the case of Alphonso Goodrich against Daniel K. Tenney and others. In 1887 L. L. Smith of Omaha contracted debts amounting to$275,000, aud, after transferring his stock of goods to Haiman Lowrey. be ab- sconded to Cauada. Smith’s creditors claimed that the transfer to Lowrey was fraudulent, and Mr. Tenney's old tirm was employed to have set aside the transfer. Goodrich claims he entered iuto u contract with the law firm by whioh he was to obtain aMdaaits and evidence to show that the con- veyance to Lowrey was without considera- tion, and for this work he was to re- ceive one-fourth of all money realized upon the claims of the creditors. As trustee for the creditors Mr. Tennoy realized from Lowroy over $100,000 in cash, but Goodrich never got bis allegea share. It was alleged by Goodrich that Tenuey fraudulently ob- tained the original agrecment from him, and therefore he could not sue at law. The ap- peilate court holds that the agreement as set forth caunot be enforced because it is utterly void, and that if Goodrich 1s entitled to any remedy, it is at law, he claiming to have & copy of 'the alleged contract. ————— NEW YORK'S BUILDING, Plans Acceptod tor Structure to Be Erected by That State at the World's Fair, ALpaxy, N.

Bee bldg KEEPING OUT THE CHINESE Adoption of the Conference Report on the Exolusion Bill by the House, MR, SCOTT DENOUNCES THE SUGAR TRUST He Is Informed That Proceedings Have Been Instituted to Dissolve it by the Proper Authorities—A Dull Day in the Senate, Wasnixaroy, D. C., approval of the journal and the reference of & number of senate bills Mr. Geary of Cali- fornia presentea the conference report on the Chinese exclusion bill. Mr. Geary demanded tho previous question on the adoption of the report, and notwithstanding the protest of Mr. Hooker of Mississippi it was ordered, Mr. Hittof lllinols opposed the report. The senate bill would be, if it was an origi- nal proposition, an objectionable thing: but o recoguized the urent necessity of prompt logislation, and in deference to the wishes of the Pacific coast ho would not have antago- nized it. 'Thoe conference bill was better tban the house bill, which had openly, deflantly and insultingly violated natonal faith. But the certificate provision now added was abominavle. Never before in a freo country had there been enacted such a systom of tagging a man as if ho were a dog; first compelling him to go aud prove his Fight 1o continue to live where he haa lived for years, Never before had such a law been applied 10 a humun being, except convicts and slaves, He (Mr, Hitt) would vote to continue every exisling law, but speaking for the honor of his country, ho appealed to gentlemon to observe the phghted faith of the nation, which had already been pressed hard upon, and which piedged to those men the treatment of citizens of tne most favored nation, This was a measure in violation of that pledge, which no wan could vote for without a blush. Grounds for Mr, Hooker's Oppofition, Mr. Hooker, in opposing the report, said that in its present sbape tho bill virtually suspended tho writ of habeas corpus, and against this he earnestly protested. Mr. Geary denied that the ill suspended the writ of iaboass corpus. The measure was intended to stop up leaks in the existing laws. “The conference report was then agreed to.

Mr. Scott of Illinois, who originally offered the resolution, spoke in denunciation of the Sugar trust and in_favor of tho proposition. . B. Taylor of Obio said that before this resolution was presented proccedings had veen taken by tho attorney general for the purpose of dissolviag the trust. Nobody on this floor was in favor of trustsand any statement to the contrary was made for tne purpose of olitical capital. Mr. O'Neill of Missouri contended that the way to get rid of the Sugar trust was for the democratic committee on ways aud means to bring i a bill puttiog refined sugar on_the free list. [Applause.] Both parties in both houses would_stand by such a bill. “U'he resolution was adopied. On motion of Mr. Holman the house went into committee of the whole (Mr. Hatch of Missour1 in the chair) for the consideration of the general appropriation bills. The first billon the calendar was the sundry civil appropriation bill. Mr. Blanchard of Louisiana in the iter- osts of the river and harbor pill, asked that the bill be laid aside, but Mr. Holman ob- jected and the facts were rcported to the house,which decided by a vote of 122 to 45 10 lay the sundry civil bill aside and the com- wittee resumed its session. The postoilice and fortifications bills were also laid aside and the river and harbor bill was taken un. Withoutaction upon 1t the house adjourned. IN THE S TE. Disposition of a Kansas Military Reserva- tlon—1sills Passed. WasmiNeToN, D. C., May 4.—Business in tho senato today dragged along 1n a listless way. There were but few senators paying attention to it, and that was very oppressive. After the routine morning business the sonate took up the caiendar and bills wore disposed of as follows: Appropriating $100,000 for a public build- 1ng at McKeesport, Pa. Passed. Senato bill to convey to thostate of Kansas a portion of the Fort Hayes military reser- vation (about 3,200 acres) for home for old soldiers and their families, and to open the rest of the reservation to homestead settle- ment. Mr. Aulison moved to strike out the section opening the lauds to homestead settlers and argued that that section would be for the benefit of a few people residing within _ten miles of the reservation—the lands being very valuable. He preferrod giving tho whola reservation to the state of Kansas for homes for old soidiers, After much discussion Mr. Allison’s motion was agreed 1o and the bill was passed.

Enlee Mukes Unwarranted Insinuations Wasmixarox, D, C., May 4.—1n the pension office investigation today Representative Enloe called the attentiou of the committee 1o the fact that Secretury Noble had de- clined to furnish tho papers relating to the dismissal of special pension examiners. Mr. Enloe said he wished to see the papers be- cause he had reason to believe Theodore Smith nad preferred unjust charges against a number of employes. Secrstary Noble, when on the stand, had spoken of certain matters as *‘more of Smith's work," and had prowised to furnish any papers wanted, He (Mr. Enloe) took it that the refusal to fur- nish the letters desired was because they would bring out Tacts that were not credit- able, Mr. Enloe asked that the bouse be re- quested o take action on it. Represcotative Brosius protested against any inference belng drawn against the in- togrity of any officer of the overnment aris- g out of his assertion of his constitutiopal right to control romovals without being answerable 10 congress. Chairman Wheeler said Secretary Noble got nis power, not from the constitution, but from congress, which, by statute, conferred the power of appoiniment of inferlor oficers on the heads of departments. The committee adjourned o #ive the mem- bers time to look up and consider tbe legal questiors involved before deciding ou its course.

A of Educatlo Much in Ameriea, Leon Mead discusses in the Engineer- ing Magazine the important question of trado training in Amorica. He says: The skilled labor of this country toduy is performea largely by forcign-born workers who, as a rule, had the advan- tages of trade training before coming to these shores. In Burope trade schools have flourished for many years. They include the London Guilds’ schools, the Paris schools for the building trades and for workers in wood, metal and leather; the Imperial Technical school at Moscow, and the magnificent schoois at Crefeld ana Chemnitz, in Germany, and at Verviers in Belgium. Then in Berlin is the famous blacksmiths’ school, where many of the young army black- smiths receive instructions. The Lon- don Polytechnic Institute furnish in- dustrial training to young men of from | A T years of age, who have received an education in tho public schools or at college. ‘While industrial schools are yet com- paratively few in the United States, their general establishment seems were- ly a question of time. At the recently: inaugurated Drexel institute, in Phi t institute, 1 Brooklyn, er (Ma Free institute, and at cortain colleges endowped by the tates land grant act, trades are taugh—mainly to beginners. Young colored mon are taught trades at Hamp- ton, Va., at the Clark university, At- lanta, Ga., and at Central ‘Tennessee college, while at Carlisle barracks, P voung, Indians are afforded similar in- struction. At certain other educational institutions as well as in numerous r formatories in different States seve trades ave acquired to a limited degt Branch Neglected of proficiency, and a number of large private manufactur'ng concerns provide instruction for their employes. he Carriage Makers association of New York, for instance, maintains a school for young men employed in carringe- building and in several cities the “helpers” are provided instruction by the Masters Plumbers association But the model institution in this line is the so-called New York trade schools, established ten years ago for the pur- pose of giving young men instruction in cortain trades and to enable young men already in those trades to improve them- selves. The founder of these schools and the originator of the system of trade instruction pursued there is Col- onel R. T. Auchmiuty, a retired archi: tect and a man of wealth and promi- nence in educatiodal ‘affairs. Colonel Auchmuty is a pradtical philanthropist as well, and it _was his conviction that the workshop does not and cannot teuch all that is essential to an education in the mechanic arts. that led to the estab- lishment of the New York trade schools, where both the manual ard scientific in- struction should be thorough. A Poct's Early Struggzles. James Whitcomb Riley, the poet of dialect and pathos, was born in Green- viile, Ind., about_twenty miles from In- dianapolis, but the latfer city has been his headquarters for the t twelve years, during which he has been befor the public as a poet and a reader, suys the Baltimore Sun. In telling the story of his first efforts in literature yesterday, Mr. Riley said: “About fifteen yearsago I used to read locally for our concerts und home enter- tainments, which included acting and recitetiors. I always wanted toact, and singled out character or dialect pieces. Sometimes I would run up a stumn. For instance, I would find in telling a quaint story that I couldn’t do it right because it was not written ina natural way. It may recogni tion of histrionic proprieties, but the question suggested itsell to me: ‘How can you say a thing naturally unless it is properly phrased? The next thought was: *Why not writo something yourself, and see whether1t will work?” You can recite it as if from one of the magazines or books of recitations, and if it is consid- ered good you can let them know you wrote i 1 never expected to see one- half of what I have written printed, be- cause in dialect writing a thing may appear crude and rouzh, and all it foree and beauty come from heuring it recited, with the proper feeling and re- gard for punctuation. “There is no such thing as elocution— that is, outside of tragedy. In reading, ivis the imperfections that we want to reproduce. Stage traditions would not allow me tostand with my hands in my pockets, but we are to reproduce just such natural things. They suy that 1s a notion of mine, but nevertheless that is my view of the matter.” —_— What Ha to Do With It, Detroit Free Pres: ears ago,” said the drummer, “when T first went on tho road, I had a customer at one of those wild western towns who also held soveral public offices; I never knew what, only that he beld them.
