Lower Nranch of the Legislature Keops Its Pay Kol U ler the Senate's. LINCOLN, Neb, Jan, 1. Several members of the house have today indulged themselves in a quiet chuckle over | the refer de to the extravagant brand | of “rigld economy” that has alraady been placed on tap in the senate. A closer investi- gation of the already distended proportions of the house pay roll falls to reveal any par- tleular cause for self-congratulation upon the part of the members of the lower branch of the legislature, A comparisan of facts may enlighten the taxpayers as to the actual | dimensions of the unwarranted burden that | has been accumulated by a quarter of a century's growth of extravagance. Two years ago the senate employes, In cluding “‘officers,” cost the taxpayers of Ne- | braska the remely modest sum of $16,013.81. There are only thirty-three sen- ators and the upper house transacts about | one-third a8 much business as does the lower. And the officers and emy of the house, with its 100 members and mense volume cf business, cost the state $16,6 78.79 less than for the een- ate. The house pay roll was inflated, like the senate's, The lower lawmaking branch ifdulged In the luxury of custodlans, jan itors, doorkeepers, etc., etc, and the raid on the treasury was just as enthusiastic as eyer In the history of the state, twith- slanding the fact that the populists and dbmocrats, who exnct a royalty on all patents for economy, wero in full control. (Two yenrs ago the house paid $228 for the Tuxury of a “janitor of cuspidores.”” A cus- todlan of the water closet was hardly o ex- pensive, but this official cost the state $2: A'day watchman only cost $264, while a nlght watchman only involved an expense of b $219. A janitor and six assistant janitcrs were employsd to &weep out the representa- tive hall, and there was the usual army of clerks, copyholders, bill clerks, flle mes- spngers, pages, ete. This year fter the profuse representations niade all (hrough the campaign, the people naturally expected the republican majority g the houso to encourage practieal reform l} is yet too early to say specifically that the present house is more extravagantly in- clined than was its immediate predecessor. he fact sl remains that it is unnaces- rily and outrageously extravagant.

JLINCOLN, Jan. 14.—(Special)—When the senaté reconvened this afternoon after the Sunday recess it was welcomed with open arms by a largely increased crowd of applicants for clerkships, There were nearly 100 applicants for positions in the senate chamber and In the lobbies. A large number of these applicants were ladies, but the num- Ler of men was larger than for mdny days past. Ivory republican senator was sur- rounded by a bevy of fair, pleading ladies, all anxious for a place on the pay roll. The entire afternoon session was not a litthe @isturbed by the applicants, the agents: of rival newspapers soliciting subseriptions, Keveral beok agents, who unblushingly pur. sucd their vocation while the senate was in sesslon, several agents for an unrivaled theatrical entertainment, a job lot of lobby- i8ts, and a half hundred curious auditors, But little business was transacted, On motlon of Pope the rules were amended so % to increaso the membership of the stand- Ing commititee on irrigation from five to seven. \ The committee on standing committees, through. Pope, then reported the names of Senators Ratibun of Hitcheock and Dale of Harlan as the: additional members of that committee. A number of bills were read the first time, while still another batch from last week were read the second time and referred to appropriate committees, On motion of McKeeby three senators were appointed to serve with three members of the house on the joint committee on rule The lleutenant governor appointed as such | committes McKeeby of Webster, Dale of | Harlan and Wright of Lancaster, The near approach of the election of a United States senator, which cccurs tomorrow and Wednesday, was recognized by a motion from Grabam that a committee of two sena- tors be appointed to act with & committee from the louse tp arrange for the joint convention, The leutenant governor appointed as such com- mittee Graham of Gage, and Bauer of Hutler, _The seniite then adjourned. Among _the bills introduced in the senate this afternoon were those by Smith, pro- viding for the amicable adjustment of grie ances and’ disputes that may arise between employers and employes; to proteet employes and guarantee their rights to bzlong to labor organizatlons; by Wright, to amend the Lincoln city charter; by Stewart, to provide | for the selection of non-partisan election hoards; also (o provide for the collection of the subseription fees of newspapers, maga- zines and other periodicals; by Wright, to amend the insurance laws; by Holbrook, to provide for the collection of a lic X on dogs; by Pope, to submit a constitutional amendment providing for seven judges of the supreme court, HOUSE GRINDS STEADILY ON, ¥estorday's Routine torical Battlo Ove LINCOLN, Jan, 14, lef matter,” remark nlivened by an Ora- the Stoek Yards, (Speclal)-—“In this re- | d Harrison of Hall last Suturday, can make haste by going | slowly.” That tieory, coupled with another “‘charity begins at home,” appear (o be potent | Arfluences'in the present deliberations of the Louse. It is just, perhaps, to say that the feverish excitement preceding the election of a United States senator may exerclse a de- bilitating effect on a majority of the members.

Harrison sent up a memorial from his county, pray- Ing the house to grant immediate relief to the destitute. This’ was the irony of fate, for Harijson's voice has been first, last and all the time for indefinite delay of all kinds of relief measures. Brady supplemented this With a memorlal ‘from Buffalo county, ask- ing that instead of a bill auth-rizing counties to bond themselves a direct appropriation should be made from the state. Both me- morlals were referied to the relief commit- tee., Dr. Harris had a memorial from Keith county, asking that dogs be made personal property, and it was referred to the commit- tee on live stock. Conaway, chairman of the relief commit:ee, made a report on house roll No, 1, Lam- born’s Telief bill, making a few amendments and recommending its passage. He termed it a supplementary report, in consequence of a discussion which arose on the point as to whether or no the was cut of the hands of the committee of the whole and in the lands of the relief committee. The matter was finally left in the hands of the committeo of the whole. Conaway also asked that house roll No. 113, his own relief bill, be returned to his committee, and the request was granted. Suter called up his resolution, laid over Saturday, that all bills referring to st-ck yards be referred to the committee on live stock and grazing. The speaker said that he believed he had been in error in laying this resolution over, and asked pardon for having done so. Benedict at once took um- brage at the action of Suter in asking that the bills be sent to the o:mmittee on live stock and grazing, instead of the committee cn miscellaneous corporations, He ported by Sutton, who moved that the lution be laid on the table, and nays were called for. It was at once evident that a strong effort was being made to take the control of the South Omaha stock yards from the committee on miscellaneous corporations. ~ The motion was carried by a vote of 54 to 34. Chapman moved that all United States senators, ex-senators, congressmen and all state officials be allowed the freedom of the floor during the joint session Wednesday next, the time of ‘clecting a United States senator.

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 14.—The senatorial contest will probably open up without a full caucus having been held. The nineteen Sweet men are again In session, but the others are not participating. The Shoup men are confident of winning in the joint convention, but no intelligent prophecy re- garding the outcome can be given. Sweet's strength on the first ballot will be nineteen at least, and possibly twenty-one. All eyes are now on the fifteen popullsts, as it is not known what they will do in the contest. A caucus participated in by nineteen of the thirty-seven republicans, has nominated Congressman Willlam Sweet for United senator, 5§ PR Likely to Postpone the Innuguration. ASHVILLE, Tenn,, Jan, 14.—General in- terest still conters in the debate upon the construction of the clause in the state's con- stitution concerning opening and canvassing the returns for governor, now In progress in the house, Speech making consumed the day. The committee on rules today reported unanimously a rule for the ciose of debate at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the rule was adcpted without division.

The address s v man who shall cast his vote for a Romanist ‘for United States sen- ator will sound his political deathknell. Attention is called to the fact that only four Catholics were elected to the legislature at the last election. Another Senatorial Candidate Appears. SACRAMENTO, Cal,, Jan, 14.~The com- plexion of the fight for United States sen- ator from California was changed somewhat today by the candidacy of Jacob H. Neft, president of the California Mining associa’ tion, an old resident of the state and promi- nent ranch owner. His candidacy is ex- pected to injure the strength of Senator Perkins. M. H. De Youns still' maintains that he is keeping his legisiati apporters in hand. Many believe the prize will go to the fourth man, who has not declared his ambition. Pops Will Vote for Holcomb, LINCOLN, Jan. 14.—(Special Telegram.)— The independent senators and members of the house held a senatorial conference to- night at the Capitol, and declded to adjourn until tomorrow forenoon, when they will meet in regular caucus and name a man for whom to cast their votes for United States senator. Governor Holcomb stands highest in favor with the majority, and the entire populist vote will doubtless be cast for him in senate and houSe tomorrow.

Last evening M. Brym Barthou, minister of public works, re- signed his office for the .reason that the council of state has decided against him in the matter of guaranteeing the interest of the eouthern raflway lines. It became gen- erally known that M. Alexander Milne, the well known soclalist deputy and editor-in- chief of the Petite Republique Francaise, would interpellate the government in regard to M. Barthou's resignation and that the government would reply thereto. . Conse- quently a large crowd gathered in the Cham- ber to listen to the proceedings. 1t was known that the position of the cabinet was not as sure as it might bave been and the enemies of the government had hopes that the debate of today would result in its overthrow. These hopes were realized The question which led to the overthrow of the ministry is a wide one. It is really a question as to whether the Chamber of Deputies is superior to the courts of France and whether the Chamber is able to set aside the constitution at will. In 1882 the government made a_contract with the Or- leans and Madrid railways, under the terms of which, In return for certain facilities for the transportation of war material, the gov- ernment guaranteed the interest on the bonds of the railways. The government held that the guarantee expired in 1914, but the di- rectors of the companies took a different view and construed the agreement to mean that the government guaranteed the interest in perpetuity. Suits were brought in the court to settle the question. In June last M. Barthou ordered the directors to endorse their bonds to the effect that the guarantee expired in 1914, The directors refused to do so, and the case was taken to the council of state, which in _such matters is the final court of appeal. The council on Wednesday decided that the guarantee was perpetual. This de- clsion, which a majority In' the Chamber of Deputies today claimed “the right to reverse, was a complete negation of the contention of the deputy cabinet and M. Barthou's ac- tion on the railways' guarantees, conse- quently the latter yesterday resigned and the proceedings in the Chamber today led to the resignation of the other members of the ministry. MINISTRY SHOULD RESIGN. In submitting his interpellation Mr. Miller- aud said it was not Barthou alone who had brought before the council of state the con- ventions between’ the state and the railroad companies, but #lie whole cabinet. The deci- sion of the cownell’of state, therefore, af- fected the entire cablnet, but only one minis- ter, Barthou 'had ‘taken the correct atti- tude and resigied. ‘The ministry was also to blame for #ibmitting to the council of state a question’\Which belonged to the Cham- ber of Deputies to decide. M. Milleraud de- manded that an’inqairy be held to determine whether groundexisted for a criminal prose- cution of M. Dayid Raynal, who was minister of public works in the Ferry cabinet of 1883, in which year the government entered. into the contract with thé railways. Milleraud submifted to the house a resolu- tion censuring the -government for putting before the coungil of state a litigous ques- tion, and dom:m:n {hat an inquiry be made into’ tho_ conduct of M. Raynal. Raynal agreed, to the demand that an. in \Quiry be n\ndg,'li\%@ his conduct, . and sald: “I am certain’that T shall- be able to con- found those who are thirsting for scandals and hungering for calumnies.” Prime Minister Dupuy declared that after Raynal's acceptance of the demand for an inquiry the government would not oppose it, Referring to the order of the day, Dupuy reminded the chamber that the question of the perlod, during which time the Interest guarantees’ would remain in force had al- ready been raised, and that the chamber had recognized the competency of the council of state to deal with the question. (Applause from the center.) Continuing, M. Dupuy said: “The decision has been given, and we cannot disregard it. The council of state has decided the principle, In the case of protests the chamber must Judge whether the government is capable of continuing in office PERSONAL SLIGHT TO BARTHOU. “M Barthou resigned because he regarded the decision of the council of state as a per- sonal slight. The government did not have the same reasons for adopting that course, If it had resigned spentancously it would have failed in its duty. The cabinet accepted the decision of the council of state, while regretting the minister's defeat. M. Barthou was considered by his attitude, speeches and statements to have been more concerned than his colleagues in the decision of the council of state. He resigned because the decision established a precedent from which the rail- road companies would desire to profit. He therefore declined to be humiliated before the railroad companie Dr. Chapuls, radical-republican, submitted the following order of the day: *The cham- ber, regretting the erroneous and dangerous interpretation placed by the government on the decision of the council of state, passed to_the order of the day.’ This was adopted and the motion of Miller- aud was then carried by 253 to 225. Eleven other orders of .the day were submitted, Priority was glven by a vote of 203 to 231 to one calling upon the government to vigor- ously defend the rights of the state as af- fected by the decigion of the council of state. Dupuy declared if this order of the day shculd be adopted the government would re- vote was finally taken on the latter motion, with the result that it was defeated, the vote standing 246 in favor to 264 against. After several speeches pnd declarations had been made the chamber voted on a pro- posal to grant priority to a motion made by Prof. Trelat, republican, which, of all the orders of the day, was the only one accepted by the government. This order of the day declared that the government adhered to the doctrine of the separation of powers and the noninterference of the chamber with the ju- dicial functions of the council of state. Pri- ority was refused ‘ta thls motion by a vote of 263 to 341, MINISTERS LEFT THE CHAMBER. When the result of the vote was an- nounced, the ministers left the Chamber and proczeded to the paldce of the Elyssee, where they submitted thelr resignations to Pres \dent Casimir-Ferler. After the departure of tho ministep, the house unanimously adopted a motign made by M. Kratz, liberal republican, resepying the rights of the state In regard to the rellway's guarantee. The house then adjoupned, President Caximir-Perier and Premier Dupuy were in conference for an hour and a half.

TAMPICO, Mex,, Jan. 14—The steam dredge Mount Waldo, which left here Monday for Velasco, Tex., went down 100 mdles north of Tampico Tuesday night during a violent gale on the Gult of Mexico. Shortly after the gale struck the dredge her machinery became disabled, and it was soon discovered that she was sinking. All on board took to the boats, and those who survived were blown to Hobo island, 150 miles south of the scene of the disaster. The bodies of Engineer Mc- Gee and Cook Childress were found on the beach. Captain Brock, his wife and three children and three of the crew are missing. They undoubtedly perished. Seven of the crew arrived here overland tonight. They were in a sad plight, and too much bewil- dered to give further particulars.

Over 5,000 men quit work. This | Includes motormen, conductors, electricians, switchmen and others employed at the various power houses. All but one of the surface | roads, and that a comparatively minor con- cern, are affected. It is claimed that the strike will extend to the lines of the Brook- Iyn Elevated Railroad company. The con- tract between the Kings County Elevated that it is believed that there can be no strike on that line. - District assembly 75, Knights of Labor, which has control of the trolley employes in Brooklyn, has had vari- ous conferences during tho past week, and after the Saturday meeting their executive coniinittee visited President Lewis of the Brooklyn Helghts road. They discussed tne question for three and a half hours in Presi- dent Lewis' office and finally Mr. Lewls re- fused to grant their demands. The outcome of this was that the committee held a meet- ing which ended at 2 o'clock this morning, at which it was decided to tie up all the roads in the city of Brooklyn with the ex- ception of the Smith and Jay street line. This was done this morning, and not a car outside of the Smith and Jay strect line is running, The “companies expected the men would £0 out this morning and determined to an- ticipate them. They asked the electricians, about 1,000 in number, if they would take out the cars this morning. Every one of them refused to do so. They were then told that there was nio work for them. One foreman was asked if he was willing to take out a car. He refused to do it. He was the only foreman to strike. This morning tho people had to use the elevated roads. The trains were made up with extra cars to accommodate the rush, The Court street line of the Brooklyn City company ran out seven cars beginning at § o'clock,” The cars were manned, front and rear, by two policemen. There was no trouble. There was one car running on the Fifteenth street branch. It is sald this morning that President Slo- cum, when waited upon at 9:30 o'clock by the executive committee, had conceded the demands of the men. POLICE HELD IN READINESS, The entire police force consisting of 1,700 men {s in readiness in case there should be any trouble, but none is expected. The men's grievances and demands are thus stated: The schedule provides that a day's work of street railway employes shall be ten hours, with a limit of twelve consecu- tive hours. It is alleged that the corpora- tions have required them to work eleven hours and even, latterly, twelve hours, with no interval longer than ten minutes for lunch, and even depriving them of that briet time in most instances, The wage rate agreed upon a year ago was $2 for the statutory day's work. The companies, it is alleged, have made no allowance for overtime. The men demand adherence to the law regarding hours in a day's work, or for a day of twelve hours, An address {sssued by the executive com- mittee of District assembly 75 alleges that the trouble was precipitated by the Brooklyn Helghts company in excluding their electric workers from work. The statement goes on to say that the flagrant violation of the ten-hour law has mentally and physically ineapacitated "the men for their work. ~ While the corporations are not allowed by law to run at a rate of speed more than ten miles an hour, through schedules are arranged so that cars have to be run at a rate of speed of from fifteen to twenty miles an hour. In consequence nearly 100 fatal accidents have occurred since the trolley was introduced and countless in- Juries to passengers, all caused by the greed of the corporations. The employes in the power houses are or- ganized as Knights of Labor, just the same as the motormen and conductors, and when the signal is given to stop work they will fall into line and not a car can be moved. At midnight tWe executive board decided upon the action and an hour later all the master workmen, seventy-five in all, left the hall with instructions to notify the motormen and conductors to tie up. The master work- men visited each car house and as the cars came in the men were told that a tle-up had been ordered. The men left their cars and walked out without a word to tho foremen or superintendents. It was a complete de- sertion of the cars on the part of the men, and the companies were left without men to handle a single car or put one In condition to be taken out. It is the work of the electriclans to put the cars in order, connect the trolley wires, fix motors and 'sce that everything on the cars is in good running order. Every car was left in the condition it came in and not ome was ‘fixed up. There are all told thirty-one lines of cars and 4,200 men exclusive of about 1,000 eles tricians employed in the city, I is esti- mated that the Brooklyn City line employs 2500 men; the Atlantic Avenue, 700 men; the Brooklyn City and Newton, 450, and the Queens county and Suburban, 315, making a total of 4,200. ONLY SEVEN CARS STARTED. The only cars that went out this morning were seven cars on the Court Street line, which Is part of the Brooklyn City system. A large crowd of men stood a few blocks from the stables and as the cars came along they threw several barrels full of ashes in front of them, The motormen got off the cars and amid the cries of “scab” removed the ashes from the track. On cach car were four policemen, two in front and two In the rear, with drawn clubs. uperintendent Cameron of the Brooklyn Heights railroad told Superintendent Me- Pherson of the same road that a committee of 2,000 loyal employes had told him they were willing to go to work providing they were given protection. President Slocum of the Smith and Jay street Kme, when seen, denled the report that he had conceded anything to the men. If the men should order a tie-up ho was pre- pared, as he had a large force of men on hand ‘to work If the police protection was adequate, The tie-up Is materlally affecting the United States mail service. None of the trolley lines delivered the mall this morning, Postmaster Sullivan sald he would have to go back to the old system of collecting by the ald of mail wagons. He had called up every substi- tute and lay-off connected with the ofiice to do duty. At 11 o'clock United States mail car No. 102 of the Flatbush avenue line with four blus flags came down Fulton street. A mall carrier was in front and the passengers were on the inside.. It contalned the Flatbush mail. Extra detachments of police were detailed to patrol the thorough- fares through which the various railroad lines rur All the old stages in the city have resurrected and pressed line of transportation tween Flatlands, through city hall, 15 cents being charged for the trip. 1t 'was rumored that 3,000 men had been engaged in Chicago, Newark, Paterson and other cities and were on their way to Brooklyn to take the piaces of the strikers, Owen Russell was caught placing an ash barrel on the Court street tracks and taken the police station, The strikers caused e trouble in the Twenty-ninth ward by | cing timber and stones on the tracks near the Flatbush depot. The policemen guarding | the motor car removed the obstruction. The | strikers did not interfere with tho officers | aside from jeering and hooting then, One of | them was arrested. President Slocum has agreed to partially | meet the demands of the men on the Jay and Smith street line, and at present that is the only line in the city in operation. The | agreement s fo the effect that the company | will grant a renewal of last year's agreement | of §2 a day, Last year six “trippers’ were | employed on the line, and the men this time demanded that none' be put on.

But the primary ob- Ject of the meeting, however, will be the preparation of the estimato of the expenses of tho fire department for the coming year.
