Lixcowy, Neb,, Jan. 21.—[Special Telegram to Tur Ber.—The members of the senate were in their places early this morning and there was a general air of expectancy de- pleted upon the faces of republicans and in- dependents alike. The busiest men in the senate chamber were Senator Paddock and Joe Edgerton, both of whom busily button- holed the helpless mombers until the gavel fell. The usual preliminary exercises we gono through with in the usual perfunctor: manner and the senate squared icself for Dbusiness. Senator Eggleston, from the committee on rules, recommended the adoption of the sen- ate rules of the senate of 1801 with one or two amendments. The report was adopted. Senator Darner, from the committee on employes, reported another name to the list of employes. On First Ren ng. The following bills were introduced and read for the first time: By Thomsen, amend- ing the law relating to cemeteries; by Pope, to prevent two or more persons conspiring together; by Hale, to provide for the estab- lishment of a state no g - view; by Stewart, to secure collection of fines imposed for misden by Pack- wood, authorizing school districts to fix the rate of assessments of property for school purposes ; by Miller, requiri deeds to 'keep a general index of for the use and £ by Moore, to provide for the support, maintenance, education and protection of minors; by McDonald, to encourage the sugar beet industry and to provide for the payment of a bounty 1o beet growers:sby North, to amend section 2,173, chy 30, of the stat- utes, relating to licenses. Senate files 51 and 53 were read the second time and referred The rogular order of business being fin- ished, the senate took a rec until 11:50. Cash Required at Uncle Sam's Store, Upon reassembling, a communication was , read from Secretary of State Allen, in which that oficial informed the senate that he had amade a requisition ‘upon Postmaster Gere for 10,500 2 cent stamps and 10,500 1-cent wrappers for the use of the legislature, but that the postmaster refused to furnish the * Bupplics unless the cash accompanied the order. The senate then accepted an _invitation to attend a comphimentary concert to be given the Nebraska Conservatory of Music at the Lansing theater on the evening of Feb- ruary 18, and adjourned 1o go into joint con- . wention upon the election of a United States penator. After the joint convention the sénate adjourned until 10 a. m. Monday. ' ‘The committee that is to conduct the in- westigation of the accounts of the state ofti- cers will begin operations Monday. The ir ependents have employed some of the be legal talent in the state to counsel them in their investigations and look after the intro- duction of evidence. The investigation of the grand jury went back but sixteen months and the committees propose to take it up at _ that point and go back six years,as itis alleged that the peculations extend that far into the past. Attention was called to the Aact that the act would outlaw in less timo than that, but the reply was that the in- vestigation would be made just the same and the showing would be there even if twenty years had elapsed. IN THE HOUSE, Moralng Hour Spent In Soothing Stevens' Rufiled Temper. Laxcory, Neb,, Jan. 21.—[Special to Tue Bee.]—Ninoty-three members answered roll call in the houso this morning. The report of the committee on miscel- laneous subjects, favoring the passage of Irwin's anti-Pinkerton bill and the anti-coal dealers combine bill, was adopted and the Dills ordered engrossed for a third reading. Chairman Gifford of the penitentiary in- vestigating committee asked an appropri- atidn to defray expenses and for authority to employ experts. Stevens, who is also a member of the com- mittee, urged the granting of the request, saying that it would be impossible for the committee to finish the investigation before the legislature adjourned, and suggesting ‘that the proper course would be for the ex- perts to submit the report to the governor, who might then call the legislature together again if he deemed it necessary. Keckley took a different view of the situ tion, saying that he wanted the investigs tion prosecuted vigorously, that a report might be made to the legislative body. Some Personal Explanation Stevens insisted that this was impossible nnd Keckley said he feared the delay would thwart the object of the investigation. Ste- vens demanded to know if it was not true that Keckley had declined to serve upon the Inyestigating committee, and when the lat- ter roplied in the afirmative Stevens de- manded to know why he had so declined. Keckley took occasion to explain that he had originallyi nt- sduced the resolution calling Jor the investigation in justice to the execu- tive department of the state, 8 public charges hud been made and aspersions c: which, if untrue, should be cleared aw: He wanted the report made to the legislature instead of the governor, and moved to lay the whole question on the table, but it was lost by a vote of 20 to 42, Kyner demanded that the investigation be conducted with a probe, and not with a Whitewash brush. He thought that a report to the governor would look like the spread- Ing of whitewash at the very beginuing, and + urged a report to the body in order to avoid even the appearance of evil, Stevens retorted that the gentleman from Douglas had not as much faith in the gov- ernor as ho had, and he declared that the committee could not go back twenty years and let the people know just what had “been done unless there was a thorough investiga- tion, which would consume considerable time. Keckley insisted that they did not want to rohwk twenty years, but, rather. should begin at the prosent time and work back as far as they could Davies backed up this position, claiming that the two remaining imonths of the se sion would furnish ample time for experts sud eminent counsel to make a thorough in- vestigation, He moved that the report of the committee should be submitted ut least ten days before the close of the session. was adopted, Stevens alone voling no.

Soveral members objected, but Stevens wildly shook his head and fist and said that he_absolutely refused to serve any further. v Howe endeavored to stroke him down, but Stevens swore he would not be crowded and would adhere to his determination.

Toreka, Kan., Jan. 21.—The populist sen- ators held a caucus this afternoon, at which twenty-two of the twenty-throe populists elected were present and took an informal ballot on United States senator, which re- sulted as follows: Doster, 12; Briedenthal, ; Martin (democrat), 6. This did not, however, show the full Martin strength, as he is second choice with many who will sup- port a straight populist it he can be clected. The fight has turned more upon who can be elected and seated than on the individual preferences of members, The democratic-republican combination shows signs of coming lo grief. Some of the republicans assert that under no circum- stances will'thoy vote for a democrat, and the loss of one vote will defeat the combina- tion. The republican house adjourned until Monday afternoon without transacting any business, but its election committee is at work and will probably report Monday in favor of unseating a number of populists. The populists’ house was in session all day transacting routine busine but did noth- ing of interest. The populist members will not go home for Sunday, lest some of them might not get back in time for the senatorial caucus Monday RRY Legislators of South (Dakots Quite Tired of iProhibition. Pierne, 8. D, Jan. 21.-—[Special Telegram to Tne Ber.]—The train this morning took nearly seventy-five persons, mostly members of fthe house of representatives, from the capital, caused by the long recess which makes it possible for the members to spend Sunday at home. The general tone of the resubmission element has been more hopeful for the last few days than for some time and the members express themselves as well satisfled with the outlook, According to the last canvass of the senate that body stood twenfy against resubmission, nineteen in favor and four doubtful. The house will, they say, probably give less trouble than tho senate. Ex-Speaker Seward arrived at the capital last night. The senate railroad committee decided this morning to report favorably on the bill substituted for Do 's on the sub- ject of railvoad commissioners.

B SPARKS OF SPORT. Racing at New Orleans, NEW OnLeass, I Jun. 21.—Bright, balmy weather drew a large crowd to the races today. The track was stiff and heavy, but the sport was good, The betting was lively and the books had rather the best of it. Progression and Pekin were the only winning favorites and both were heavily played. Forrest King, Cyrus and Granite, the other favorites, were well played. After the second race Baker was suspended indefi- nitely for his carele riding of Captam Pennyweight. R. Jones, whose riding has been extremely unsatisfactory, was sat down for the remaining portion of the meeting for his listless riding of ‘Granite, whom he never tried at any stage.

Cuicago, Ill, Jan. 21.—Two youngsters, who will be society men when they are older, battled each other with hard gloves this afternoon in the most aristocratic parlor in Thorne street on the south side. They were “Cob” Coleman and Robert Dunham, the son of the proprietor of one of the largest tug lines on Lage Michigan, and the cause of the combat was the right to pay addresses to a young lady who i% not yet out of school. The time keeper of the affair was Tedd Henrollin, the son of Chicago's largest stock broker and consul for Belgium in *hicag hile one of Dunham’s seconds was Clive Runnells, the son of the general .counsel of the Pullman company. The fight came off at 2 o'clock and was a hot affair from the s t to the end of the fourth round, when the timekeeper counted out young Dunham and announced that the victory and the spoils thereto were the prop- erty of Coleman. Notwithstanding the youthful gladiators the battle was as bloody as any ever seen. Schaeffer Afte non.

The chancellor said he had no renson to re- gret the exchange of views thus elicited Mutual declarations on the situstion had en abled the friendly powoers to afirm their sympathies with Germany, while no hostile expression or complaint had from any quarter. A somi-official note in the North German Gazette further explains in response to the rtion that the chan- llor had pledged Germany to a support of the Austriau policy in the Balkans, that no such guaranty exists. There was nothing, the paper adds, told by the chancellor to the committee to warrant an assortion that any departure from the known principles of the Austrian alliance was even intended, much less accomplished. This explanation has chilled Austrian enthusiasm over von policy, but it rectified his position, in the face of the contentions of the opposi- tion that he had committed Germany to such terms as would place all the military resources of Germany at the service of the Austrian aggrand izement, Sounding Their Constituents. As the day nears when the committee will report to the Reichstag the political atmo- sphere bocomes clearer.

This fact has arouspd great expectations of arenewal of the friendship that formerly existed between the German and Russian courts. There are several othor and concur- rent indications that the czar is relaxing his hostility, if such it may be termed, toward Germany. Besidgs giving his assent to the prolonged stay of the ch in Berlin, the czar entertains a warm regard for Gen- eral von Woerder, the new German ambas- sador at St. Petersburg. He has also ordered that the Russian commission on a commercial convention with Germany must conclude its negotiations within the next three months. Whether or not the events in France are causing the czar to change his policy, it is certain that the French greup in the Russian cour' is losing its ascendancy. The czare- witch will be met on Monday at Eydtkuhen by Emperor Willism's special train. Upon his arrival in Berlin, he will be received by the emperor and a number of the German princes. He will be escorted to the Russian embassy, where he will make his residence during his sojourn, by a squadron of cavalry. Besides being present at Princess Margaret's wedding, the czarewitch will attend the emperor's birthday fetes. Then he will visit Darmstadt, report says, for the pur- pose of seeking Princess Alexandra with a view to betrothing her. Affairs in Hungary, The developing of the Kulturkampf in Hungary was watched here with great inter- est. Telegrams received here today from Buda-Pesth foreshadow another overturn of the cabinet through a coalition against its civil marrisge legislation. Herr Csaki, Hungarian minister of worship, having been unable to obtain Emperor Francis Joseph's permission to admonish the bishop of Scopen for a vehement pastoral issued by nim de- nouncing the government for its attitude on the marriage question, has offered to resign. The miuister of justice supports Herr Csaki. The emperor refuses the required permission on the ground that his interference would be unconstitutional. The reichs party is in the meantime growing in strength. The peovle are rather passive, but their tendency is against the government. The Rothschilds syndicate has decided not to issue the Austrian-Hungarian gold loan in either London or Paris. It will be issued in Vienna, Buda-Pesth, Berlin, Frankfort and Amsterdam.
