The bill is far down on the general file, and will hardly be reached in regular order, but its strength has never yet been indicated. It was introduc:d by Senator Hahn of Adams county, and makes some very rad- ical amendments to the present gambling laws. The entire bill is contained in the following paragraph: Every person who shall play at any game whatever for any sum of money or other property of value, or shall bet any money or property upon any gaming table pro- hibited by law, or who shall bet upon any game played at or by means of any such saming table, shall, upon conviction, be fined in any 'sum ot exc-eding 3100, and upon a second or any subsequent convic- tion shall be fined In any sum not exceed. ing $2/0, or be imprisoned in the county jail not more than sixty days, or both, at the discretion of the court Sec. 2. If any person or persons shall lpse any property or money at any game, either cards or games of hazard of any kind, such person shall have the right to recover, by civil procedure, the money or the amount thereof, or the property or the value thereof, .upon proper proof of the same, a1 Money or property or the value thereof o recovered to revert to the school fund of the county In which said action is brought. Every person who shall set up or keep any gaming table, faro bank, or any kind of ‘a gaming machine of any’ descrip- tion or name whatsoever for the purpose of playlng any game of chance for money or property, ‘except billiard’ tables, or ‘who shall keep any billiard table for the purpose of betting or' gambling, or shall allow the same to be used for Such purposes, shall, upon conviction, be punished by fine'in any sum not exceeding $200, or be imprisoned in the county jail not to exceed sixty days, or both, at the discretion of the court Sec, 4. Section 214 and section 215 of the Cryminal Code, enacted in 1857, and all other ots and parts of acts in conflict herewith are hereby repealed. The proposed bill changes the present law in this respect: Under the present statutes gambling is made punishable by fine and im- prisonment in the state penitentiary; the new bill simply provides for imprisonment in the county jail; the maximum fine under the present law is §500; under the proposed law, $200; the extreme term of imprisonment in the penitentiary under the present law is ono year for the first conviction and two years for the second; under the proposed law the limit is sixty days in the county jail for the second conviction; no imprisonment is provided for the first conviction. INTENDED TO AID THE DESTI1UTE. Four Measures Considered by the Senate and Kecommended for Passage. LINCOLN, March 7.—(Special.)—The vari- ous bills providing relief for Nebraska's des- titute farmers in the drouth districts of the state were pretty thoroughly digested by the senate this afternoon, and four meas- ures were recommended for passage, leaving the house bill appropriating $200,000 still on the general file for future consideration. The people in the drouthy reglons will be pretly well provided for if the four bills recom mended for passage this afternoon become laws, even if the big appropriation bill setting apart $200,000 for the purchase of grain for feed and sced fails to pass the senate. Senate fle No. 312, introduced by Stewart Dawes, provides for the investment of sinking fund moneys of counties and town- ships in grain for feed and seed. Under the bill all sinking funds on deposit in banks may be withdrawn by the county treasurers whenever such necessity exists, upon petition of 25 per cent of the legal voters of such county. The grain purchased with these funds is to be sold to farmers on thelr se- cured notes, payable in not less than twelve mon hs and rot more than twenty-four months and drawing § per cent Interest, 2 per cent of which 18 to go to the county treasurer House roll No. 287, providing for the pur chase of seed graln on time and creating a lien on the crops grown from the same, and for the discharge of such lien, and prescrib- ing the form of a “special seed grain note,” House roll No. 530, to authorize county commissioners to use the surplus of precinct bond funds for the purpose of procuring seed grain and feed for teams for destitute farm- ers.

RELIEF BILL'S PRO TS IN SENATE. Twenty-One Membors (fave Signed a P to Vote for t wsure as it Siands, LINCOLN, March 7.—(8pecial Telegram.)— There seems to be a sure majority in the senate favorable to the passage of the ap- propriation bill setting aside from eral fund $200,000 with which to seed grain for destitute farmers, Senator Rathibun of Furnas couuty has constituted himself the especial champion of the bill, und today clreulated a paper among the sen ators, to which tweaty-one attached their signatures, agrecing to vote for the bill as it stands, The list includes the names of Scnators Akers, Black, Bauer, Caldwell, Campbell, Crane, Crawford, Dale, Hahn, Hol- brook, Jeffries, Lehr, Lindsay, Mitchell, Me- Keeby, Rathbun, Saunders, Sprecher, Stow-' art and Watson. The pame of but one sen- ator is lucking to make the necessary twenty-two wotes to add the emergency clause now lacking to the hil In spite of the faet that the bill seems so sure of passage, there is a decided sentiment in the senate in favor of reducing the | amount to $100,000, or at best $125,000. As | the gen- purchase | claims is 8¢ the bill now stands the approptiation will not become available before July 1, and the necessity for purchasing the seed on eredit will afford a strong temptation to bleed the state. There Is also a well grounded fear that the heavy appropriations already in sight will 80 greatly overtax the resources of the treasury, that state warrants will be forced to a discount within thirty days after the legislature adjourns, There is aiready an al- most certain prospsct that the appropriations or the ensuing blennfum will exceed the tevy. e Wil Not Pay Their Claime LINCOLN, March 7.—(8pecial Telegram.)— The republican members of the house held a caucus at the Lindell hotel tonight to take party action upon the claims of the three | ex-state oficials impeached by the legislature two years ago.

LONDON, March %—A special dispatch to the Times' from: “Plen @sin says: The em- peror of China has completely vindicated Li Hurg Chang ~from the chargés ~brought against him. The emperor confesses that after examining into the case he finds that Li Hung Chang alone is trustworthy. There- fore he grants Li Hung Chang the fullest powers to treat with Japan for the restora- tion of peace. The central government publicly assumes the entire responsibility for the condition of the national defense, which is the result of blindness on the part of the Chinese to the progress of other nations. Thus the action of the emperor places all future reforms in the hands of Li Hung Chang. the German Consul Will L and Satisfaction.

SIBLEY'S FEAR OF ANARCH Letter of the Silver Candidate for President Muade Publie, DENVER, March 7.—Mr. W. J. Deane of this city has made public a letter written to him November 21 last by ex-Congressman J. C. Sibley, who is proposed as the candidate of the silver party for president, in which he says: ““The continuous depression in values cannot prevail much longer without involv- Ing every business interest, as well as the toiling classes, in a common destruction. The attitude we have taken upon some of these great questions is a dangerous one. It produces unrest, dissatisfaction and misery—e those dainty viands upon which anarchy feasts—and {f ever the hideous form of anarchy finds foothold in our fair land the money powers, the subsidized press and the servile politicians are the responsible pro- moters and foster parents of anarchy. Anarchy will never find lodgment fa happy hearts or in happy homes. It will never find lodgment where labor meets its just reward and where production is accorded a fair per- centage of its own products. I believe in America for Americans; that our constitu- tion is great and good enough; that the republic, designated and founded by our fore- fathers, under the blessings of God, is ample for the present want and that we do not need to borrow either financial or industrial economies or social or governmental systems from the effete monarchies of the east.” —_— ON THE WAY TO THE FIRE.

County Attorney Nye was still absent, and indeed he is not likely to appear again in the case for some tim He is confined to his bed under a physi- cian’s care, his condition being quite serious. | 1t developed this morning that in case of a conviction—which is confidently expected by the state—immediate sentence will be moved. The defense, on the other hand, has made every preparation for a stay, and an appeal in case of conviction.

Mr. Erwin at once began a new tack on the testimony of Blixt, which he admitted was the very focal point of the case. It was full of the most serious contradictions and inconsistencies, and unworthy of cre- dence, He then turned to the question of the immunity promised by the state to Blixt and Adry Hayward for the sake of convicting Harry. This, he declared, was a revival of the old and pernicious practice of turning state's evidence in vogue in England, and he called upon the jury to stamp it out. The end is not yet. turned to the Jury's At § o'clock Mr. Erwin court and asked for an hour tomorrow. The court was loth to grant the request.
