It has been amendod in many places by the house committeo. Among the important amendments are the following: To assess life insurance com- panies on 1 per cent of their gross re- ceipts. This was done after a hard fight by the insurance lobby. Fire insurance companies when assessed locally will be a sessed less the reinsurance. County a sessors shall appoint deputies without the confirmation of county boards. Telephono companles to be assessed on gross recelipts in excess of $12 per instrument, Personal property to be assessed where owner re- sides except where there are local estab- lishments. Tonight Chancellor Andrews was before the finance committee and asked for $704,- 000 appropriation for the university. He asked this besides the $100,000 for the ex- perimental station. The Douglas delegation held a meeting and discussed charter amendments, but de- cided on nothing definite. Legislative Gossi 1t is of Interest to note that Mikesell and Shipley, the two fusionist members in the house who voted against H. R. 330, the bill to compel railroads to pay city taxes, are members of the house revenue committee, and that this committee has given it out already that it will make or recommend no changes in the revenue bill, now in its custody, that will, in auy way, tend to In crease rallroad taxes or even disturb the equilibrium of the present glaring inequali- ties which exist in the matter of rallroad taxes. These are two of the four fusion- ists who did not vote for H. R. 330. They proved Intractable when their party friends strove to get them in line on this measure. Belden of Richardson introduced in the house another bill cutting off the fat fees of the clerk of the supreme court. It goes farther than the other measure and fixes the salary for the reporter, clerk and Ii- supreme court, who is the , at $1,500 a year for ail services rendered. It aliows the clerk two assistants, one of whom shall be & s‘enog- rapher, and receive not more than $1,200 and three additional clerks at $600 each a | Mr. Belden said It ls the same bill | year. he introduced two years ago. He thinks that as the session is so near an end there will Le little chance of the bill's passage. Members of the legislature “have arisen in their manhood and might” to declare that they will not longer tolerate the hard- ship of having to ““wade through slaughter o a throme to shut the gates of mercy on mankind,” by givicg unequivocal indorse- ment to the resolution pending before the ‘house providing for the elevation of all the pavements leading to the state capitol bullding. These pavements cre half a foot below the level of the capitol grounds, and are streams of water and slush after a heavy snow or raln. They are nothing but drainage canals, and people going to the capital are frequently obliged to wade in water up to their shoe tops or take to the banks and plough through mud. The reso- lution® seys these walks shall be clevated two Inches above the common level.

F | sioners b duced a bill which may be expected to bring to the capitol an army of pawnbrokers. It provides that an aMdavit shall be made out between the loaner and loanee of the mouney actually loaned and received and that no note shall be collectable unless such afida- vit has been made out. The purpose of the bill 1s to put an end to the practice of charging extortionate rates of interest that has been common among some classes of pawnbrokers. The usual custom has been to make the note out for the amount loaned and give to the loariee the amount of the note less the interest for the first period. There is at present a ‘10 per cent rate of interest law, but this law is evaded, it is held, by this other method. Robbins of Gage, In the house, wants a buflding erected at Beatrice for the Ne- braska Institute for Feeble Minded Youths at a cost of $25,000, and he introduced a bill asking the legislature to set aside this amount. A Dill was introdaced by Roberts of Dodge providing for the creation of the new state department of architecture. It provides that the governor shall be the officlal head of the department and may appoint a deputy at a salary yearly of $2,000; that this deputy shall be a competent architect and have charge of the erec- tion and repair of all state bulldings and be alléwed additional help at modest prices. Warner of Lancaster, in the house, in- troduced H. R. 417, appropriating $2,000 for rellef of sufferers in Sweden, Norway and Finland. SENATE HAS LIVELY DEBATE Comen Up O Bl on Members of Boa for County Vote » of Supervisors. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 4.--(Special.)—Sheldon of Cass introduced two bills to abolish the board of visitors to the Soldiers’ homes at Grand Island and Milford. The law at present provides that the governor appoint a board of five, who shall make rules and regulations regarding the homes and have general supervision over the commandants. The bills introduced grant this power to the governor. and he shall have power to name the amqunt of compenmsation to be paid the employes and commandants of the homes; and to provide rules by which they shall be conducted. The governer Is also required to visit the homes once every three months. The office of guartermaster is abolished, and the duties of the office devolve upon the adjutant. 8. F. 8, providing for the nominetion of county commissioners by districts and elec- tion by county vote, occasioned much de- bate and engendered some feeling between Brady of Boone and Hall of Douglas. Brady was against the bill, and sald it was a selfish measure. Hall took exception to this and accused Brady of charging sinister introduction’ of the bilL. By almost a rtrict party vote, the repub- lcans voting for the measure, tue bill was ordered engrossed Hall of Douglas introduced a bill provid- ing that the standard of time throughout the state shall be that of the 50th meridian of longitude west trom Greenwich, the cen- tral standard of time, by which all legal | business shall be regulated. Mr. Hall in- troduced the bill because in different parts of the state different standards of time are used. The county officers’ bills by Sloan of Fill- more, to increase the tenure of office to four years, was killed in rotation like clock- work. There were five or six of them, and after threc had been indefinitely postponed O'Nelll of Lancaster moved, n order to save time, (v indefinitely postpone every bill introduced by Sloan. This, however, was not put, and tks bills died the regula- nate Routine. The tollowing bills were placed on gen- eral file: §. F. 173, providing for fees to be paid county elerks. 8.

WASHINGTON, March 4.—The session of the senate today was made interesting not alone by the official proccedings on the floor of the chamber incident to the last day of a congress, but by many occurrences which were purely social in their character, owing to the fact that the day marked the close of many carcers In the senate. Of the eenators whose terms expired when the presiding officer's gavel came down at noon, thirteen failed to secure re-election cither through defeat or through their refusal to enter the contests in their va rious states. Included in the number whose official presence in the chamber will no longer be noted are six republicans and seven democrats, but of the reoublicans two, Novada and Senator Wel- lington of Maryland, have in recent years each supported for a time the national candidates of the opposing party. Two other senators, Deboe ot Kentucky and Pritchard of North Carolina, are southern republicans, and both are succeeded by democrat The remaining two republicans are Sena- tors Mason of Illinois and Simon of Ore- gon. Of the seven retiring democrats Senators Harris of Kansas, Turner of Wash- ington and Heitfeld of Idaho were elected as populists and are succeeded by repub licans. Senator McLaurin of South Caro- lina was elected as a democrat and, while still classed as such, has acted inde- pendently during the greater part of his term. The other three senators, Vest ot Missouri, Jones of Arkansas and Rawline of Utah, have from first to last been in the democratic ranks, and Jones and Ves? have risen to places of conspicuous leadership in their party. Loses o Unique Member. In Senator Jones of Nevada the senate loses one of two men who have served in that body for thirty consecutive years, the other being Senator Allison. In Mr. Jones the senate loses one of its most popular as well as one of its most unique members. He has not made a speech since the days of the silver debate in 1893 and he has not during his entire thirty years' service introduced to exceed half a dozen bills, yet his influence in shaping legislation has been excceded by that of fow senators and. his great ability has been recognized from the beginoing of his national career. S With a few exceptions during his term the personnel of the semate has changed many times over. When Mr. Jones en- tered the body Simon Cameron and Hanni- bal Hamlin were still prominent charac~ ters there. Roscoe Conkling was at his best and James G. Blaine had not yet en- tered the senate. General Logan, Carl Schurz, Allen G. Thurman, Oliver P. Mor~ ton, Thomas F. Bayard and John J, In- galls were leading figures. has from the first been recognized as an authority on finance and his vast store of information has ecver been at the com- mand of his colleagues. Career of Senator Vest, Senator Vest belongs to the next gener- ation of senators. He entered, the, bady. jn: 1879 snd has served for twenty-four years, winning a reputation for brilliancy of speech, classic learning and eharp rep- artee seldom excelled in the senate. He has been fn poor health for several years, but notwithstanding he has been almost blind and has needed constant assistance in going into and out of the senate cham- ber, he has continued to maintain his interest in the proceedings and his pres-- tige s an orator. He has made several speeches on_current topics during the past ession and each time that he has taken the floor he has been given the closest attention by both senators and occupants of the galleries, Senator Jones of Arkansas came to the front during the consideration of the Wil- son-Gorman tariff on account of his knowledge of business detafls and his tact | in dealing with men and he has easily held his place as a party leader since that time. . He has been chairman of the demo- cratic conference, and on this account and | because of the fact that he is chairman of the democratic national commitee has been regarded much of the time as the official head of the party in the senate and in the country at large. Vacancles in Finance Commiitee. The retirement of Vest and the two Joneses will make three vacancies in the committee and also cause vacan- cles on many other {mportant committee Senator Mason is chairman of the com- mittee on postofices and also & member of the committee on commerce. Sonator Pritchard glves up the chair. manship of the committee on patents and also & membership in & number of other important committees. Senater Rawlins' retirement will cause a democratic vacancy in the committee on foreign relations and also in the commit- tee on the Philippines. Senator Turner retires clary committee and commerce. Of the seven democratic senators who retire, four are succeeded by republieans and of the six republicans who go ou four are succeeded by democrats. Al the changes in favor of republicans are all in the northwest and three of those.in favor of the democrats are in the southorn or border states. trom the judi- the committee on Gained Forty Pounds in Thirty Days.
