The senators should consider the fact that they were elected to Jegislate in the interests of economy and re form, enator Dule criticised Senator Dysart's action in speaking on something not before the senate, and was himself called down b Senator Tefft, who turned the laugh on him by having his amendment read again. Senator Harris offered an amendment to the amendment, providing that the com- mittee on _employes should appoint clerks for standing committees whenever they were necessary. Both amendments were lost, the indeped- ents, with the exception of Dysart and McCarty, voting with the democrats. Senator North's resolution directing the secretary of state to place the papers relat- ing to the Douglas county contest cases in the hands of the committee on privileges and elections was called, but on motion of Moore of Lancaster 1ts consideration was made a special order for 2 o'clock Monday afternoon next. The senate then adjourned for the purpose of forming into convention with the house on the election of a United States senator. After the joint convention the senate ad- journed until tomorrow at 10 o'clock. IN THE HOUSE. ‘Eeomony Discussed, Bills Introduced and Pay Provided For. Jan. 19.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Ber.]—Eighty-three members of the house were present this morning, the ohatr announcing that eight had been ex- jused. The conference committee reported in favor of the issuance of 200 tickets to the floor during ‘the joint convention sessions each member of each house to be given one, @and the balance to be placed in the hands of the speaker for distribution. This brought on a long discussion, and it was finally de- weided to throw the gates open to the public on these occasions. ‘The ticket question was not settled there, however, as admission to the house ses- ‘sions was taken up at the request of the speaker, who wanted some protection from the hordes that were daily making de- mands upon him. Stevens wanied the num- ber limited to one for cach member per day, and Howe amended makiug the daily num' ber three. The amendment prevailed. The speaker appointed the following com- mittee to investigate the death of Convict Powell at the penitentia Dimmick, Luikkart and Kessle G. C. Shenhart was appointed reader, and Erncst Gifford assistant holder. ‘Woods wanted anattorney and stenog- yapher engaged for the committee to in- vestigate the sale of school lands, of which ho. is chairman.

Cueyexse, Wyo., Ji 3 gram to Tie Bee.] —A genuine sensation was felt for a moment today when in the house Representative Snider of Johnson county in- troduced a resolution to impeach State Senator Tisdale for his action regard ing the Johnson county invasion. The sur- prise gave place to amusement when the unconstitutionality of the action dawned upon the members. Afterward Roy ative Hurd of Ulnta county introduc esolution that a joint coramittee from the nate and house be appointed to investigate the invasion.

D, Jan. 19, —[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—The session ofithe house w uneventful today. The first half hour w taken up in committee reports of varying | importance.

SPRINGFIELD, TIL, Jan. 10.—The threatened revolt against the list of the senate caucus committees was averted this morning after a series of conferences between dissatisfied democrats and Governor Altgeld, so when the senate met, the list, as prepared, went through without objection, after one or two changes. Among the billls Introduced was the sena- torial apportionment bill. In executive ses- sion the semate, by party vote, confirm Fifer’s nominations of W. C. , democrat, and Charles 5. Kirk, re- , for the Chicago park commis- sioners, but rejected those of Joseph Stock- ton, S. N. May and Christopher Strassbein leaving these places to be filled by Governor Altgeld. Kesolutions on the death of ex-President Hayes were adopted In the house by a rising vote. Governor Altgeld sent_the following nom- inations to the senate: Canal commissioners, A. Gerdes, Peoria; John A. Welch, LaSalle! W. A. S. Graham, Chic: Among the bills introduced in the house were tho following: For the punishment of persons allowing thistles to grow on their premises; apportioning the state into_sena- torial districts; to regulate the width of wagon and truck tires; to prevent the hunt- ing of deer : Speake ed the standing committees, and after the transaction of some other business, the house adjourncd. Hard for Wisc Democrats to Agree. Mapiso, Wis., Jan. 19.—Four more bal- lots were taken for senator at the session of the democratic caucus this afternoon, there being but one change from the voto of 31 for Mifchell, 27 for Bragg, 20 for Knight and 1 for Dodge, cast last night, On the fifth ballot Bragg gained ono vofe, which has heretofore been cast for Dodge. The caucus then adjourned until 8 o'clock this evening Upon reassembling four more ballots were taken, Mitchell gaining two votes from Knight, making the cleventh ballot as fol- lows: Mitchell, 83; Bragg, 28; Knight, 18, The Bragg and Knight _men supportad a resolution to adjourn until Monday, which was stubbornly opposed by Mitchell's fol- lowers, who wanted to adjourn until tomor- row. The combination succeeded in securing the adfournment over Sunday. The Mitchell leaders, who had their cindidato within cight votes of a nomination, fought hard for & continuation of the balloting, but the Brage and Knight men combined s a unit to procure the delay. ‘The adjournment . is looked upon as_highly favorable to Brag, for whom an undeniable popular undercur. | rent prevails, Appointed by Governor Walte, Dexvex, Colo., Jan. 10.—Governor Waite this afternoon sent to the scnate the name of T. J. Tarsney of Rico as adjutant general and W. W. Ferguson of Lake City us inspec- tor general. The appointment of Dr. Coleman to tho position of adjutant general is with this action withdrawn, it being thought advisable not to pi eut his name, as Dr. Colen wholly unfamiliar with military affair Repealod the Miner Eleotion Law, LaNsiNG, Mich., Jan. 19.—The republican senate today, by a vote of 20 to 9, passed a bill repealing the Miner election law and providing for the election of presidential electors by u direct vote of the state at large. The house is republican and will probably pass the bill also, and it will be signed by the governor. Toolk Sixteen Ballots.

Spuisarieny, 1L, Jan, 18.—The first clal act of the democratic avtorney general has been to draw up a legal document making formal demands upon the republican ox- auditor of public accounts, y, for the cash books and records of disbursements of the insurance department For many years o subject of cussion has been the disposition of fees re- ed in the insurance department. The law provides that the mount of all fees over and above £,000 and the cost of perform- ing clerical labor shall be paid to the state treasurer. One interpretation is that the state auditor is entitled to £,000 per annum in addition to his £3,500 salary and. in addi- tion to that, which he has the right to do- duct as the expense of maintaining the insur- ance departments. The democrats have never conceded this, and fought it during the recent campaign. 1t is asserted tonight tween the amounts collected in the insurance departments and the amounts paid into the state treasury there will be found unaccounted for the startling discrepancy of §16,000 to $18,000 per annum, reaching back 1tis said that the book ditures of the insuranc the auditor's office have been and the fact developed that ords extending as far back as ne, Associated om political dis: haps to | showing th Xpe press_correspondent to- night sceured a wire to Mount Vernon and | d a talk with ex-Auditor Pavey.

There were no new developments in the ive muddle today, unless the u ing policy of the populists, which was clea manifest, can be so considered. The popul house was to have taken up the appropria- tion bill, passed it and allowed the republicans to test 'the bill in the supreme court.

Bisymakck, N, D., Jan. 19.—Eight ballots for United States senator were taken in joint session today with no material change. e R AMUSEMEN LS. “A Nutmeg Match" at Boyd's. “A Nutmeg Match” is the title of Willlam Haworth's latest play, which he styles a comedy-drama. It was presented to an Omaha audience for the first time last even- ing at Boyd’s new theater. The story of the play is obscure, fragmentary and incoherent. It is written in four acts, but it should be played in three. Nothing more puerile, vul- - and utterly unnecessary than the second of “A Nutmeg Match” could be con- ceived, and its presentation before an intelli- gent audience is unpardonable; only two words spoken during the entire wearisome scene have anything to do with the story. With this act cut out, the drama might be passable, but it would still be commonplace. The play was evidently H)uh-hud together to introduce a working pile- driver, which fills the foreground of a very effective scene in _the third act. This act has some merit, and the fight of the two principal characters on the dock is realistic- ally managed and does not fail of effect. The first act, too, presents a pretty picture, showing a fine bit of scene painting in a Connecticut landscape. But, all in all, there is nothing in “Wiiliam Haworth's latest play” io justify its existence. iss Annie Lewis i e bright particular star of the compan, he is a clever httlo lady and in the auda impossible part of Cinders she is at times wholly admir- able, notably in her first scene. e sings nicely and her dancing is not ungraceful, but try hard as she can she cannot redeem the play from condemnation. Mrs. E. A, Eberle presents a roughly drawn caricature of a Connecticut woman of the hard shell, dis- agreeable type with considerable success, and as Farmer Lucas Mr. Eberle is fairly good. The players, all around, are better than the play, which where least censurable is flat, stale and unprofitable and utterly without reason for being. at the Farnam. Though by no means a high class comedy, “Pete Peterson isa farce at which a great many people would laugh and derive some enjoyment. There was a good attendauce at its opening performance at the Farnam treet theater last night, but little enthusi- asm was manifested. The company is not a strong one. There is a great deal of singing in the play and a great many very bad voices, All the songs were old ones and they were not cle sung. Kirk Armstrong as Pete Peterson made up well as the lubb Swedish lad. He might have been fairly successful there been alittle fresh humor injected into his part, As it was, “Pete Peterson” seemed to have been made up of old scenes from a dozen comedies with which play-goers are familia None of the ladies engaged in its presentation are interesting. There is not a fresh voice, a pretty figure nora suggestion of talent among them. It is the same with the men. “Pete Petorson gy . M. C. A.

Edouatd Hoeve, editor of the Soleil After drawing o dutk picture of the cor- ruption revealed ‘by the Panama investiga- tion and the '‘consequent consternation among the true fripids of France, he denie charge that the ifionarchists have tried to aggravate the scaridal. ! Nobody could “doubt that the time had come when a strong' hand and a_stroug will were needed for the heéad of the French people. The attention of the nation at large was absorbed by the men of the government uow fn power. *All hatilg anything to lose’| were alarmed by the socialist war now waged against capital. The government had no power to stem this movement. The monarchists ought to assume the leadership and direct _public opinion in this emergency. The organization of the monarchist movement was complete, and the monarchists should now seek to make all _conservative and libe alliances possible, without distinction. Precise in- structions would be issued before the begin- ning of the general elections. Meantime it was necessary to prepare for the conflict and for unforescen emergencies, s a violent crisi inevitable. When the people of France should tire of the republic the mon- hist party would be ready to defend the 50 of labor and to drive back the_enemies of society and to place the institutions of France upon enduring foundations. That which today seemed chimerical would then become easy. The mona s were bound by loyalty to France to organize and prepare the way for the prince of Orleans. LASSE: s REITERATES HIS STATEMENTS, M.
