Captain Pieroe Mnkes a ReauIsition

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.--Captain Pierce, act
ing Indian agent at Pine Ridge, has made
requisition upon the Indian bureau for sup
plies necessary to continue the issue of full
rations up to June 80, 1891, under the pro-
visions of the treaty. The estimate calls for
Si6, 25j pounds of beef, gross; l2,76l pounds
of coffee, net; 1924 pounds of sugar, net.
Captain Pierce is of the opinion that his beef
estimate will probably have to be increased
by 80 per cent owing to the difference in
weight of cattle now as compared with their
weight when received last October.

The House.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 17.-TSpecal to THE
BEE. The session Of the house was short
and no business Of special interest was trans
acted.
The special committee of which Gunnett
OF York is chairman appointed to procure
suitable rooms near the state printers office
for the proof readers, reported that they had
performed that duty, and that the rooms
would cost the state $50 per month.
Mr.. Howe opposed the adoption of the re-
port. He thought there were plenty of
vacant rooms In the capitol building that
might be used for this purpose, and was not
in favor of hiring rooms at the expense of
the state for the convenience of clerks.
Mr.. Oakley defended the committee, and
thought room for the proof readers near
the printing office would save great deal of
running back and forth and the employment
OF special messengers The report was
adopted.
Taylor of Johnson moved to reconsider the
vote by which the daily journals of the house
proceedings were ordered printed. He said
he had been informed that the cost during
the session would run up to nearly $4,000
and that the state could not afford the ex-
pense.
Brennan thought the journal should be
printed, in order to insure accuracy in the
report of the proceedings,
The motion was reconsidered and laid on
the table.
Among the bills introduced were the fol-
owing:
By Severin-To compel railroads to build
cattle guards at public and private cross
ings.

The Senate.

LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. 17.-[Special to The
BEE. The senate this morning adopted
resolution by Mr.. Moore asking the senate
auditor to furnish the senate with state
ment of the amount af sugar bounty paid up
to date.
On motion of Senator Switzler the secre-
tary was directed to notify the state re lief
committee that it was mistaken in supposing
that the senate had adopted memorial to
congress asking for large appropriation for
the drouth sufferers.
The senator read from THE BEES Wash
ington dispatch to show that such memorial
would be useless, and he sought to correct
the wrong impression which had reached
Washington and had probably gone abroad
TO the world. In this connection Senator
Switzler paid high compliment to Perry S.
Heath, THB BEES Washington correspond
ent, as one Of the ablest and most reliable in
the country.
The resolution fixing Tuesday for Begin
ming the contest was passed. 1t was not
signed by the presiding officer before anjourn-
ment and therefore can not reach the gov
ernor before Monday afternoon.
The senate adjourned at noon until 4 o'clock

Ugly Fight Between Horse and Jack.

A battle to the death took
place in Mercer county yes
terday between a valuable
saddle stallion and ajack ass
belonging to William Thom-
as, q stock-raiser. Afew days
ago a mad dog bit Thomas
little boy and the stallion.
Yesterday the horse went
mad, and kicking down the
door to the jacks stall, be-
gan biting him. The jack re-
taliated, and for fifteen min
utes they fought, using their
teeth, heels and fore-feet. Fin
ally the jack tore the stall
ions left ear off with his teeth
and the stallion then bit a
piece from the jacks neck.
This seemed to make the jack
more ferocious than ever, and
grabbing the lower part Of
the stations neck in his teeth
he tore out the windpipe.
But the high-mettled stall
ion did not give up, and be-
fore falling he kicked thejack
on the left hind leg, breaking
it Just below the hook. He
then fell dead. The jack utter
ed a loud, long bray and
went back into his stable.
He was covered with blood
and wounded unto death, so
that his master killed him to
put him out OF his misery.
The boy was taken to a mad
stone. The stone stuck three
times and he shows no signs
of madness. 1t is believed he
will recover.

BAPTIZED IN HER COFFIN.

Mrs. Mary Tyree, aged %.

in a runaway last fall and
her spine was injured so that
she became an invalid. She
graduallys sank, and last
Monday forenoon she was
pronounced dead. All ar

for the funeral, when in a
gasping voice Mrs. Tyree
informed the friends at
her bedside that she had
"come back to life to be bap-
tized." DR.. Myers. her physi.
clan, was called, and advised
that the request be granted.
Accordingly Revs. W. A.
Gross and j. f. Strait were
called in and the rite ad.
ministered by the immersion
of the lady in a baptistory
formed of the zinc lining ol
her burial casket. On being
raised from the water the
lady began singing and re.
joicing, and, what was re.
markable, her voice was
strong and natural. In the
bed once more she called fol
a cup Of coffee and said she
felt like eating something

ing well through the night

The democrats are maxi
ing great effort to have a
Constitutional convention
called in Connecticut to give
that State a democratic form
OF government.
At present townslike Hart.
ford and New Haven, with
ten and twenty thousand in
habitants. have no greater
representation in the legisla-
ture than towns of a few hum
dred people. Up in the New
England States, what we call
townships are known as
towns, and representation is
based on them rather than
on the counties, as with us.
The republicans oppose any
change. How they can resist
the justice of the proposition
seems incomprehe1lsible. But
they do, and here is an argu-
ment ON their side taken
from the columns of The Pal
ladium:
"To amend the constitu.
tion as the democrats desire
would be to give to the DEM
ocratic party the absolute
control OF every State Office
and every office in the gift Of
a State officer or the General
Assembly. 1t would be to
place the selection of our
United States Senators in
the hands of the democrats
for all time. It would be to
hand over to the control of
the ignorant and vicious
masses of the cities the Gen.
eral Assembly, the great
high court OF our State. "
We think we have heard
some such utterances before;
but the conditions to which
they applied are very differ.
ent from what exists in Con.
nec.icut where all the people
are white and where they
have had free schools for all
the people for a century.
Alter this we hope to hear
nothing more about South
ern matters from Connecticut

to do SO. There waH Il prop
osition a few days since to
have the Senate put the free
coinage bill on one of the ap.
preparation bills as a rider,
but when it was suggested
that the republicans of the
House might add as another
rider on the same bill, the
force bill. the idea lost popu-
larity with the democrats. A
caucus of the House demo-
Gratis passed a resolution
asking that the committee
report the silver bill.

The intelligence of the
death of Representative Phe-
Ian. of Tennessee, who died
at Nassau on January 80,
did not reach this city until
Saturday afternoon. 1t was
known that his health was
bad, but his closest friends
were greatly shocked to
learn of his death,
When the Senate got
through amending the eight
hour bill it would scarcely
have been recognized by it's
best friends. 1t is believed
that the republicans hope to
kill the bill by getting it into
a conference committee and
keeping it there until the ses-
sion ends.
Beginning o-day the Senate
will have evening sessions
daily to the end of the ses-
sion. The House may or
may not follow suit. The
fact of the matter is that
evening sessions have never
been favorably regarded by
She friends OF legitimate leg
islation, although ithas been
customary to have them at
the fag end ofevery Congress.
The pension sharks made
no mistake in counting upon
the assistance OF the lepub-

the House. The Senate made
the attorneys fee for all fu-
ture increases OF pension $5,
instead of $2, as the House
had it, and upon motion of
Mr. Quay the new fee is only
applications filed after this
bill becomes a law. That mo-
tion, if not interferred with
by the House, is estimated to
be worth more than $5, 900,
600 to the pension attorneys.
