Affects Entire BilL The revenue committee, through ite chair- Warner of Lancaster has given was publighed in The Bee, that only minor changes would be made in the revenue bill by that set of individuals. And in this connection he mentioned that the committee thought it would be wise to amend that provision of the bill naming February, and March as the mopths for assessing property, substituting April and A member of the joint revenue committee that framed the bill. points out that such an amendment, instead of being minor or triv- would practically t pieces or at least make it necessary for the measure to go back to its authors for re-ad- Justment. He eays this provision. is so in- terwoven with others that it cannot be changed without affecting the whole fabrie. And @ it 1t ls chemged and the rest of the bill made to conform, he says it would be a tatal mistake. “By fixing February and March as the months 10 assessment the county ssessor will have a whole mopth in whieh‘to tom- plete his work fter his deputies have com- pléted theirs and before the Gounty bodrd of equalization meets. This board meets the first of May; thus the assessor could have all of April and the state board meets the first of June, that all the work could be well attended to by that time. Put if the assessing must be done in April and May, when will the county assessor have any time to go ever the work of his deputies unless you change the time of the meetl: of the county and state boards of equali- zation? J think the reyenue committee had better think seriously before making any such change as this."

O'Nelll of Lancaster is one of the most popular, as well as one of the most watch- ful members in the senate. O'Nelll's pip- ularity was put to a severe test this morn- ing and stood the test without & QOinch. It was semi-officially announced that O'Nelll was a declaimer—a writer of verse. The impeachment was not denied. O'Nelll's favorite is “Tam O'Shanter,” and the strange part of it all is that O'Neill's friends hever tire of hearing him. It is said on one occasion that so great was the demand that O'Nelll rendered the selection for four hours on & stretch. A petition was recelved in the sepate today requesting the senate to pass S. F. 62, an act to repeal the present llen law, and provide a ilen law for labor performed for the erection, repairing or removal of any house, mill, manutaétory or building or apurtenance. The petition was presented to O'Neill of Lancaster. Several hundred names were attached to it. Hall of Douglas county has prepared a bill relating to the female labor law, which he contemplates introducing. The only change from the -present law made by Senator Hall is that,females may work overtime by a special agreement, ‘At pres- ent,” said Mr. Hall, “females are not per- mitted to work over sixty hours a week or over tem hours a day. Some of these ‘women have requested me to introduce thls, bill in order that they could make extra pay. There are many who desire the change mad Before I introduce the bill however I desire to have an expression from the people. The president of the Omaha Central.

There are others who are in favor of it, so I mede this announcement of Ly intention before introducing the bill in order to got an expression from those in- terested.”* REGULATION OF TELEPHONES Howell Introduces BUl at the Re- auest of Commeretal Club.

ALLISON BREAKS SENATORIAL RECORD Starts in on His Thirty-First Year in the Senate March S<Nomination of Narrows s Con- frmed. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, March 2.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Under special rule brought in this mornjng by the committee on. rules, the omnibus public building bill was taken up and the conference asked for by the sen- ate was granted by the house. The tug of war now comes between the conferees of the two houses over what shall remain and what shall go out of the bill, the difter- ence in appropriations between the senate and house measure being upwards of $2,000,000. Under the house bill York and Grand Island are given $10,000 each for the purchase of a site, while Lincoln {s given $350,000 for the erection of a new building back of the present old structure, and the Treasury department Is empowered to sell the present postofice building for a sum of not less than $50,000 to the city of Lin- coln. This particular item was also car- ried by the senate .bill and s not in con- ference. The items regarding York and Grand Island, however, are subject to con- ference and it will be interesting to watch the outcome. In lowa, Mason City and Webster City are favored by the house bill, but omitted from the semate bill, and are therefore subject to conference., In appro- priations for South Dakota, Yankton and Plerre have been cut in both senate and house bills, but it is understood that the Fouse conferces have been Instructed by the committee on public bulldings and grounds to increase the amounts appro- priated so that they will conform to the recommendation miade by the secretary of the treasury.. While thhre are a great many items in conference on the ommibus bill, it 1s confidently believed that the conferees of the two bodles will be able to reach a conclusion within. a very short time, the senate in a number of cases having already intimated a desire to meet the house wherever possible. Hepburn Committee Busy. Colonel C. W. Hepburn, chairthan of the committee on |nterstate and foreign com- merce of the house, stated today that his committee had acted upon and had passed during the Fifty-seventh , congress more fmportant legislation than had any com- mittee within his_recollection. He ealled particular attentfon to the {sthmian canal food blll, safety appliance bill, which an army of railroad men throughout the coun- try demanded, department of commerce bill and anti-discrimipation and rebate bill, These he sald were among some of the very important measures which the committee had acted favorably upon and which were now laws. “There is no committee in con- gress,” he sald, “that has such a tecord and during the eight years that I have been chairman of the committee 1 have et to hear an anry,or ill-natured word exchanged between. members.of my .com- mittee.” Allison Breaks a Record.

There have been charges made that the spcaker was op- posed to the Otjen bill because of interes antagonistic to the measure. In order there- fore to ascertain the feeling throughout the country on the measure the speaker has had the letters and telegrams tabulated and this tabulation shows that he has re- ceived| three letters and ninety-one tele- grams in favor of the bill and seventy- nine letters and 193 telegrams against the tters and telegams came from dealers in cigars, manufacturers and whole- sale grocers. - The letters and telegrams for the bills came from ten states, espe- clally from Michigan, New York, Virginfa and Wisconsin, while the telegrams against the bill came from thirty-one states, ex- tending from Maine to California, from Minnesota to Texas, the larger number coming from California, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Ohlo and Pennsylvania. lowa dealers sent six tele- grams for and eight against the bill, while Nebraska sént a lond letter in opposition to the measure.

MILLS AND FACTORIES HEAVY LOSERS Damage in General, However, Not $o ent aw on Other Occasions When Water Has Not Heen So Migh. PITTSBURG, Pa, March 2—The rivers are agatn almost within their banks and, as the water is falling rapldly here and at the head waters, the worst of the flood may be considered as over. At 10 o'clock | this morning the Allegheny marked 25 feet Omaha was confirmed late this evening by | and receding at the rate of a half foot an hoyr, Only a half dozen times in a century. has the record of yesterday been beateh, but notwithstanding this and the fact that the rise came within a few hours the damage has not been as great as in many previous floods when the water did mot reach as high a stage. Indirectly the loss is heavy, ae all the mills and factories fronting the two rivers have been compelled tn close on account of the water getting into the fiy pits and probably 40,000 men will be thrown out of employment for several days. This will mean a heavy loss in wages. The flood was gencral throughout all western Pennsylvania, the streams every- where overflowing their banks and caus- Ing more or less damage to houses and farms that lay in their course. With the falling water a mass of mud and sediment is left deposited on the low- land thoroughfares of the city. Little pools of water are frozen over and the sidewalk 18 covered with sheets of ice.
