Feb. 0. Special Tele- cram to the Hr.i Mr. LInlnger this morning called up Ills motion again to table the motion of Mr. Vandemark to tcconsldor Ihooto by which tlio charter bill was ordered to a third icadliK.

The jcas and being called for the vote was nt once taken nearly half the senators explaining their Voles at length. Tlio decision nt by Iho delegation and committee of cltbens last night decided that the bill was to pass the Bcnnto without amendment and that then If Die house fit to nmcnil the senate could concur If they thought best. The vote this morning practically parses the bill In the senate. Mr. Colby inndp along argument which Im called nn explanation of hts vote Inhlch ho rehashed big formnr objections to the bill.

Ills fiuthcr explanation was at dlffetcnt times objected to by Mossis. Llnlngcr Trschuck 'Casper Bchmluke. Duras and Sterling notwithstanding the rule of the senate Is tlmt If any iiieinber objects to another explaining his vote he cannot proceed except upon motion. The so io of the alllrmatlvo votes seemed to be that while there was a strong opposition to the bill no siiL'costlons or amendments were offered that no charter ever trained W.IH perfect and that If the entire Douglas delegation luvoied this charter bill they felt bound to support It. Those who voted to table the motion to reconsider were Uonesteol Casper Duras Ileartwull Hlgglnsnf Cuss Higglnsof Col- fax Keckloy Lindsav Linlnccr Moore Kotihins Schmiiiko Snull Spriek.

Sterling Wolbach Wright-18 These opposed Brown Calkins Camp- hell. Colby. Conger Kent Linn Majois Mc- Nninar Melklejolin Shcivln Vandemark Mr. Hurnham of Lancaster who is Interest- id in the pass-uro of the Lincoln charter of couise.wns conspicuous for his absence when Ibis vote was taken. Fuller and Holmes also tett their scats during the vote.

The bill was reported engrossed and corrected and is now on Its third reading. A message was received from the Governor stating that ho had approved tile 47 which passed the senate a few days since. This tiill provides for Urn transfer of S1" from the unlveislty lund to tlio zoncr.il fund. This action was neccssaty In order that the statesmen and employes may receive their pay. pay.Mr.

of Otoo moved that the rule requiring perfect order In tlio senate cham ber be enforced. Ho had been aiinovcd hy tlio talkinu' and laughing of the crowd in tlio lobby and thn impoitiinlng of men at his desk and ho thought It time that the matter bo stopped A largo number of committee reports wcro received and some veiy important bills recommended to pass. Chief union these arc those passed upon bv the railroad committee including Mr. Mclklojohn's senate tile Ifil to hx reasonable maximum rates ot charges for the transportation of freight and passengers by the common carriers of the state to create a board of transportation and the ollleo of transportation arbitrator defin ing their duties and powers ami to repeal articles 5 8 and 0 of chapter 7B compiled statutes of ISSZ. The rppo.il- lug clanso refers to the present railway commission law.

The committee also reported favorably upon Mr. Casper's bill No. B5. for an act to establish freight rates on railroads operated In the state to lix maximum charges tor transportation thereon to prevent disci initiation between persons and maces and to provide penalties for the viola tion thereof The above bills ate the most Important ones jet presented In the line of lailioad legislation. 1 will watch the discussion ciuofullvaml give thn important provisions of the bills nt that time together with the vole of each member.

A bill rcquirlne all trains to make a full stop at all junction j-oluts was recommended to pass. A bill to tax sleeping and dining cars was recommended to pass. It is bonuio lilo No. 10:1. Introduced by Mr.

Snell. It requires all laihvnys to make a statement to the auditor of state of the numberof sleeping and dining cars not owned by them but used by them In opiating their railways during each month. 1 he state board of equalisation shall assess the average number used during the year and the assessed value of said cars shall bear the fmmo proportion to the entire value theienf that the monthly average number of miles that Mich cars been run or operated within the state shall bear to the monthly nveriiiro number of miles that said cars have been used or operated within or without the state such valuation Bliall ho In the same ratio as that of the pioperty of Individuals. i have given the ptovistons of thU bill rather fully to show how a very ditllcult problem Is by It sought to bo solved. The sleeping car companies hold that such prop- city should bo taxed in the Mate wheio its ownership In established and not in states wheio they are temporarily used.

Mr. Itobblns this morning moved that senate lilo 171. providing for redlstrlcting the state into judicial districts and appointing additional judces In some of the old districts bo advanced In Its place on the tile and be made a special order for next Friday. The motion carried. This bill provides for two additional ludges In the third judicial ills- lilcl.

and this action will greatly btiongthnn Its chances of success. It is quite generally known that its provisions affecting the third ilUti let are the result of the unanimous volco ot Hut har of Omaha nnd other localities in that district and as the bill cmbinccs every tinllclal district In the statn whoso dockets ttiuovereiovYded and whoso boundaries are now too largo tor the Increasing volume of business it is generally thought that there will bo no opposition to the bill troin patties who tinderatund the absolute need of its pro visions. Tlio Omnlia charter was taken up as detailed above. Mr. Meiklojohu asked Mr.

Llnlnger to explain plain the condition of affairs conccinliig the bill. In view ot the action taken last night between the committee of cltUens and the Douglas delegation. Mr Llnlnger replied bv stating that It was understood that the bill pass the Ren- ate In Its present form and If thn house deemed It wise to amend It In iv fuw minor particulars thn senate could then appiovo or disapprove. lie did not recede lioin his lormer position that the charter bill should pass both houses without amendment but as nil charters were compelled to undergo com promises. ho thought It would not bo strange If this bill would to undergo similar tieatment.

Hooxhlbltoi a petition Mgned by over 00 property ow norb ot Omaha fam ing the passaco of the bill without amend ment. Mr. Colby stld that an jlxxlv could get tip petition and anj body could bo Induced to Mini one. Petitions vvero of no torre. Ho foigot that a fuw days slnco lie had proscnteil a petition signed by titty men In Omaha protesting aganibt the passage of thu charter bill and how ho dwelt nt great length upon the coiiblileratlon his llttlo petition was entitled to at the InuuNoi tha senate Ilo thmi per- Mr.

Ljnlngers lenmrks In reply to Mr. Meiklojolin's question imputing to the hcnutor fiom DotiKlas a disposition to retract what ho had all along bald in support of the bill pat Ocularly that ho thought the bll should p.us without amendment Ho iuviiso Mr. Lluingcr of bavin agreed with the cum mltteo of citizens that the bill was Imperfect nnd should bo amended and sought to makt capital ol thrt fact that the Douglas delega tlon weit advocating measututhey Knew to bo lin pei feet. Ilo knew very well lh.it no instrument strument of the kind was over framed without compiomisu ot contllclini am oven if the Douglas delegation do consent tea a tow minor amendments their action vvotik only bo a rein-titlon of hlstuiy iiuiug told that thorn was no motion before Uiahoiibo Mr. Colby took his scat lint when lUnamowns reached In the you a ml nay vote table Mr.

VaiulemarK motion to recon- ider ha started out upon a long icvlovv of the rholu mattei under pretense of explaining ds vote. Ho said he didn't care agreements had Dcon entered Into between the del- citation and the committee of citizens or whether they bad agreed with the railroad company or disagreed with It. Ho tinder- stood that the meeting bad admitted that the charter should bo amended and an arrange- nont made by which the senate should stultify itself by pisslne the bill and allow It ton to the house for amendment. Now If the jlll was not right the senate should make It right. The gentleman from Douglas had a petition signed by UOJO person Piobably not half of the signers had ever scon the bill.

"Tho charter In Itself Is a thing unheard of In this century. Its object Is simply to cie.ito a dynasty that Is a disgrace to any state In till union. At this point Mr. Schminko of Otoo "Mr. Chairman If tlm gentleman Is to ex- phiii Ids vote let him stick to thu point.

Mr. Colby continued to show that tlio law wasagenctal one and not only for Omaha. It was for a general law. Allpronortvtli.it should bo taed In Omaha should be taxed cNcvvhoro In the state and If not taxable there It should not he taxable In Omaha. Ho was not opposed to the charter because it taxes tailroads believing that the property of railroads should bo Hxcd the amo as any other properly.

It was a dlsar.ico to the state and to the senate to pass a law which re- oulred that man must own 32,000 worth of propel ty in order to be eligible to hold ollleo In the city council. lleio hi was npaln Interrupted by Mr. Casner who sold 1 don't beliuvo a senator ought to Impose upon the good natuio of the Hcnato hy making an talk. Mr. Colby "Will the ucntlcman explain why he has chaimcd his mind upon this piopcrtv iiualilicatlonV" Air.

Casper "Von talked hero an hour and a half in the committee of the whole on this bill. When 1 see a man trying to net tlio hog 1 am willing to hog it out with him.1 Mr. Colby am going to talk. Mr. Schmlnke 1 object.

1 want the gentleman to put his objection In writing Laughter. The Chair "When an objection Is made to explanation of vote the gentleman cannot proceed except upon motion. Mr. Sncll 1 move that the gentleman bo allowed to explain his vote. Mr.

Hchmlnke "Then I withdraw my objection for you addressingMr. fcmell will speak an hour If 1 don't. Laughter. Mr. Colby proceeded.

Ilo said the bill created ngieater dynasty than that of Germany the fatherland of the gentleman Irom Otoo at which tlio latter said 'Ml Ulsmarck had yon over in Germany lie would put out. Laughter. The gentleman from Gaco struck his call again and kept it up until Mr. Sleillii' said "i object to a futthor explanation. have been bufliclontly edified.

Mr. Duras explained that ho had read the bill but did not know much about the workIngs Ings of a bill of such magnitude. Ho did not think anv of the members outside of the Douglas delegation knew exactly what the workings of the bill would bo In a city of 80,000 people. Ho believed the committee of fifteen men knew moic about such a law than members of senate wore expected to know. Many out- hiders had asked him to vote against the bill but tlio gentlemen opposing It were not responsible wliile the Douclas delegation was responsible.

Jlo voted ayo. Mr. Haitwell said in explaining his vote that there wore provisions in the charter which ho oould not endorse yet such was bound to bo tlie case. When the bill was before fore the committee on municipal affairs no one from Omaha to his knowledge raised the slightest objection to it. The senate had ordered it to a third icadinc but subsequently at leanest of the opposition the vote was iccoiibidered and biought back to the senate and the senators troin Douglas acquiesced In the measure to have the charter considered section by section.

This Is known to the whole benato. For the creator part of two davswo considered this bill commenced taking It up section by section and during the time that vva be I ore. us not a single amendment was offcied or proposed to anv provisions of this charter. It is true a good deal of time was consumed In a general way but not giving it In my judgment fair consid eration. At the end of this time It was decided to again engross it tor a third reading.

This has been done. Now 1 claim that we have spent quite enough time on this charter. There are other inteiests before us that Involve the people of the wtiolo state they are directly iiitcicsted. And while it may bo that there are provisions which wo cannot all endorse and In view of tlio fact that this session is nearlnu its close with gieat interests almost wholly unconsidcred I for one am unwilling to bung this bill back to the hcnoto. 1 vote aye.

Mr. lllgglns of Cass "The gentleman trom Adams Heartvvell has expressed my views. 1 vote aye. Mr. Majors ot Nomaha voted "No" because the senator irom Douglas had In his judgment admitted that the bill was imperfect and bad agreed to its amendment.

Mr. Linlntrcrb.ild "I agreed to nothing of the kind I am in favor of the bill just as It is. Mr. MeXamar of Dawson explained. Ho based his vote on the tact that three Omaha newspapers opposed the charter while one favored it.

Ilo voted "No. Tills was a good advertisement of the Urn Mr. Meiklejohn voted because the opposition to thu bill would not peiinit proper discussal of It. Mr. Moore ot Lancaster voted "yei and gave sound common sense teasons therotor.

1 have not time to reproduce his speech. Mr. Hobbins. of Vallov who has always tlio bill voted but been friendly to "yea said ho would not votu for tlio bill on final passage unless a creator degree of uaimony should bo displayed by the people of Omaha. Mr.

Sclilmko of Otoe said "I vote witli Omaha every time. I vote 'aye. At 2:30 the senate went Into executive session and continued the nominations of Hon. Church llovvo and J. W.

After lent argument in which the friends of tlio bill creatly outnumbered its opponents the committee reported thu hill back with recommendations that it pass.

When the committee arose the benato adopted the report and adjourned. Doings In the House. LINCOLN Feb. 9. Speehl Telegram to tholJEU.J A largo number of petitions wcio iccelved and read in the house this moinlng directly after convening.

The most numerously signed ono was liom T. J. Mcr- sltt and 707 citizens of Antelope county asking the passage of a hill to submit prohibitory amendment. The other petitions covered a variety of subjects among which were the granting of municipal eulfrago to women and objecting to the section in the mechanics' Hen bill which gives preference to the mnn when ho supplies building materials. In the reports of the committees bills to adopt standard time and to amend the law legaidlng game and iish were recommended lor passage.

The honso went into committee of the whole with Mr. Cole in the chair.

lietoru thu consideration of bills was oiHMiedSpeaker llarlan called attention to ttie presence ot a irenllemaii who was superintendent of the state school for Indigent children. He moved that thu visitor bd permitted to address Urn house ten minutes. The motion ievailed and Mr. Footer was Introduced. Jin proved to bo a small intellectually constituted man who knew how to put his remarks Into the fewest pos lblo words and In Ins ten minutes' talk ho made a very plausl- bio and convincing argument' In favor of thu establishment of a school for poor children In Nebraska.

Ho said that ho didn't comn before thu iiouso to lobby on the charter bill or railioad bill He deslrod only totell what Michigan as doing In the way of carlnc for its homeless or poor children. He stated that California had 300,000 poor children costing hat statoubout 5000.000annually Michigan through Its state public school had cared for ,000 homeless children during the past tw elve ears. The school look all children be- tvvcen two and twelve of ago who were dependent upon the public for support. The school was composed of cottages and In each there were about thirty clilldien. They wcro provided with homes as rapidly as possible and those for whom homes could not bo found at once were taught usetul trades.

Of the children thus sent out of the school only 7 per cent had afterwards became criminals or paupers. It was not right his opinion that homeless children should bo sent to poorhouses or reform schools. They should bo given a home and a school at which they would receive the training necessary to make them good citizens. Tlio first bill before the committee was the ono to piovldo and continue iv huieati of labor and Industrial statistics and define the duties of Its oflirers. The bill of which full text is herewith given was iccommendedfor agi The bill to reimburse Otoo county In the sum of S5.000 for nxpcnses Incurred by the trial of Qvln ilohanan had tempestuous vojage but was finally leoommended for passage.

During thu debate Mr. Watson explained that the crlmo of minder of which Ilohanan was convicted was not committed In Otoo county the case having been taken there on a change of venue. 'I he expense to Otoo county was more than S5OJO but the county would bo content therevvitn. Mr. Caldvv ell objected to thu bill unless hu should bo assured ot the passage of a bill which would provide lor payment to Lancaster county of the o.xpenses to be Incut red la the trial of inutdcieis wholmd been Indicted In other counties.

Mr. Fuller objected to the bill upon the ground that It would give encouragement to every county to shift Its greater ciiminals upon some oilier county and the ono to which change of venue would tints bo taken would seekiepavment by tlio state. A motion by Mr. Mallard to indefinitely postpone was lost 1ST to II and upon motion of Mr. Sullivan the bill was recommended for passage.

Tl.o bill to establish and maintain the Nebraska Suldicis' and Sailors' Homo bionght forth a Hood of lurid eloquence. Mr. Miller ery accommodatingly furnished tlio occasion for the oratory by partially Ing the bill liofoio the general engagement opened Mr. Kiet moved tlmt'irand Island bo Inserted as Itho location of thu home. The soutncast corner of thu state had continually carl led off the petslmmons and ho now desired tlmt bomo attention should ha ptld to some other portion ot thn commonwealth.

On belialt ot the ot Grand Island hu was authorized to offer 010 acres ot good land. land.Messrs. Messrs. ilussell and Caldvv ell opposed the the theory tlmt It would eudan- to so ciuly determine upon thu location ol the home. It was In their opinion Impolitic.

Mr. Kief 1 see fiom the opposition that I could not secure adoption of tlio motion. I know full well that 1 cannot carry it and bo 1 withdraw It. Mr. Agce submitted an amendment to maku the requisite amount ol land to bb contributed fUO acres but as Mr.

Husscll then Interposed that Schuyler would give 010 acies ho wlthdrnw the amendment. Mr. Miller asked for reasons for the establishment of Mich a home. How many soldiers weru there In Nebraska who needed such a refuge Why should they not Do given comtoitable homes by dliect appropriation of money to' them Then them would bo no expensive institutions to sustain and bo utilized tor some other puiposu alter its necessity as now demanded was no more. Members ot the legislature should stop and think what they weru doing when they were appropriating money right nid left and thiowing it in all directioiiD.

There were contemplated appropriations for normal schools and other institutions all of which would require constant appropriations in the future as well as take a laigo sum from the tteasury now. lie was opposed to such expenditures unless they weio justified by the necessities ot the present. Mr. Kussell said "Tho gentleman asks for reasons for tlio establishment of this home. The Hag which floats over this capltol would not be floating there to-day If it had not been lor tlio men for whose benefit thu bill is introduced.

Let us see the man who wants to sue those men stay in the poor house. Thu gentleman talks about taxation. That talk upon a proposition like tliis one may bo acceptable to his constituents hut it it should bo acceptable to my constituents I want them to never call upon mo to express tlieii sentiments or again elect mo as their representative. Mr. Miller denominated Mr.

Kussell's talk buncombe It was just what hu had hcaid upon many oecaMons before from tlio centle- man's lips. He had himself been a suldier hu was in lavorofaiding all old soldieis who could not biippoit themselves. Hut he wanted lacts. How many ot these soldiers were there and how many had families Hu tramped under the Hag when the sun was warm and when piovislons weio scaice but that did not change his Ideas as to the manner In which hu should legislate for tiio people ple did not change Ids opinion that the pee ple's business should be tiansactcd just as ho would tiansact his own. Messis.

Agee. Caldwell Smyth liandail. Dempster Lord and Jeary spoke in belialt of tlio bill and houois were easy on the score of rhetorical flourish. It was stated that theio were at least twenty-lour ex-soldiers in tlio poor houses of the ano more to bo hcaid lioin probably upon investigation. Mr.

Ilentley of baunders made brief but pointed speech. He said ho had been a rebel lint ho was surprised that there shoud be any discussion upon this question. How did the men of Nebraska expect to have soldiers It they did not asamo them support when they came back homo If they weio unable to cam that support themselves How could tliu country expect to have bravo defenders if It abandoned these defendeis to starvation Succeeding the speeches the qestion ot location of tlio home recurred. Mr. Cameron said that lilair would give tlio 010 acres.

Speaker llarlan said tlmt York would make alike donation and possibly do better. Out of the discussion the icsiill arrived at was that tlio committee should lecommend the passage ot the bill leaving the location of the liomo to bo determined by thu house at o'clock on Monday next.

Tlio chaplain In his piajer alluded to ho late Senator Logan asking those who urndcd from tlio open grave with sympa- hctlc mUlit ever he tilled with the spiilt of Him who was touched with the teellng of human Inliimltlcs. As soon as the.

journal was lead Mr. Cullom olfeicd a icsolutlon tlmt ns an additional mail of icspect to thu meiu- oiy of John A. Logan long a senator fiom Illinois a distinguished member of this iody business bo now suspended in order that the friends and associates ol the deceased may pay lilting tribute to Ids public and private bervlccs. Ho then pio- ccd oil to address the senate. lie spoke ot this being the third time in the present congress that the senate bad been called upon to eulogize deceased members ol the bodv.

Today they met to lay a tribute ot their love on Iho tomb of Logan. Hut yesterday It seemed Logan had stood them in the lull Hush of robust manhood a uiant In stiength and endurance with a will of iron and a constitution as tough as sturdy oak. Ilo had seemed to hold within bis grasp moro than thiee score years and ten allotted to man. No one had thought in the same moment of Logan and death two conqueiers who had como face to face the weaker to yield to the stronger. It had seemed as It Logan could not die and yet In a moment In the twinkling of an eye.

God's linger touched lilmand ho slept. Almost without warning ho had passed from strength to weakness fiom lito to deatli and decay. Had he lived until today sixty-one. eventful jeai1 wouldhavo rested their Linden as a crown upon his head. After sketcnimr the principal events of Logan's life Cullom spoke ot his povoity said that in the last presidential campaign no ghost of dishonor in his past had risen up and stood in Ids path.

The eulogy closed with a quotation ending "liost soldier statesman rest Thv troubled life is o'er. Mr. Morgan spoke of the proceedings of the day ns "not an unmeaning ceremony. He did not think of Logan as a force that had passed away but as a living moving energy blilj. useful in the ureat pin poses of divine economy.

In nil that Logan did and said ho was truly bin- ceie a resolutely upright man. No guile no evasion no llnesso charactcrbed him but ho was a bold pronounced dignified earnest manly hrm ucncious tine man. Mr. Bdmunds said that when he wished to make tlio acquaintance of General Logan some twenty yeais ago on conference committee ol the two houses he was struck with his characteristic candor his simplicity of statement his clearness ot opinion and tlmt Anglo-Saxon persistency In upholding opinions once formed that bad made our British aiiwstors andAmerican people the strongest forces hi civimatlon of which there was any account In the history ot the world. General Logan was entitled to the highest praise for these qualities.

Now ho thought of him not as dead but promoted leaving them to mourn his departure not for his sake but because of his conscious examples. His conspicuous presence in public all'alrs and the wisdom of his counsels wcro withdrawn and so ho laid his small contiibution on Logan's grave. Mr. Maiidorson spoke of the brilliant military qualities ol Geueial Logan. Ilo had first seen him in front ot the confcdeiatu position on Konesaw mountain.

Tlio sight was in spiration. Ho looked of his hoi so a part. His svvaithy complexion his long black hair stentoiian voice and eyes that seemed to with the linht of battle made tlio figure once seen never forgotten. In action hu was the veiy spirit of war his mere presence would make a coward light. Alter other eloquent icmarks hy Messrs.
