A VERY BUSY ONE.
Such VIII Be the Nature of the
New Nebraska LeEis-
lature.
Railroad Legislation to Be tho
Chief MeasU- Dis
Cussed.

OMAHA. Neb., Jan. AT the session
of the Twenty-third Nebraska general
assembly. which convenes tomorrow at
Lincoln, the chief business will be the
adoption of railroad legislation. This
has long been a vital Issue in Nebraska
campaigns and has been the subject OF
much bitter discussion through sthe
press and OIL the stump. Ell
Four ears ago a maximum rate bill
was defeated i'll the committee. Two
wears ago. when the independents had
an overwhelming majority III the house
and working majority in the SEN
ate, they passed 4 bill so sweeping in
its provisions that Gov. Boyd, although
an advocate of railroad legislation, was
constrained to veto it. 1t was passed by
the house over his veto, and went to the
senate. Here was enacted one of the
boldest pieces of lobbying ever known.
The opponents of the bill, knowing il
would pass unless something unusual
occurred. kidnapped Senator Taylor, Of
LOup county. put him OH an engine and
hurried him into the state of Iowa. Then
under a call of the house the senate was
in q deadlock session two days, and
finally the bill failed to pass. This
measure will probably be introduced
again. but the fact that the indeDend-
dents are not so strong numerically and
are more conservative in their demands
indicates that whatever railroad legis-
laIiOn is passed viii not be of drastic
nature. The laws regulating public ele-
vatOrS will be amended and some etfOr6
to regulate stockyards will be made.
The Australian ballot law Will be mOdi-
fed in some of its minor details and
made more etficaciOus. Also the state
revenue laws will be so amended as to
secure a more uniform system of taxa
tiOn and assessment. Bills regulating
telegraph and telephone companies
are ready for introduction, as also
are measures for better control OF
state banks and to punish usury.
Some agitation looking to the abOli-
ton of capital punishment is heard. but
it will likely have no effect. An amend
ment to the eight-hOur law, intended to
make it operative, Will also be- passed.
and some modification to repleyin law
and the law of attachment. LII addition
to these, there is the duty Of electing
successor to Senator Paddock. whose
term expires on March next. This
contest attracts much interest from the
fact that neither party has majority
OH Joint ballot. the Democrats having
the balance of power. There are nu-
merOus aspirants in the field, and Il
warm time is looked for before Mr.. Pad
docks successor is named. With minor
legislation. such as making an addl-
tiOnal appropriation for the worlds
fair fund. etc. the session promises 10
be a very busy one.

LIFE SENTENCE.
Two Youthful highwaymen Thus
Punished in North Dakota.

Two XOuthfut highWaymen ThuS
Punished in North Dakota.
BISMARCK, n. D., Jan. 2.-The an
nouncement of the arrival of four young
highwaymen from DEVILS Lake at the
penitentiary created some comment
here. Their names are Willie Weeger.
James Morgan, Harry Fee ana John
Connolly, the first named being but SIX
teen years old. Weeger and Morgan
were sentenced for life for robbery, and
the other two for three and half years
each for grand larceny, yet all we're I'M
plicated in the same OffenSe. Weeger
and Morgan declined to plead guilty, and
stood trial.
There are probably but few people in
the state aware of the fact that the laws
of North Dakota make even an attempt
at highway robbery punishable by
death. This law was passed in early
territorial days, when the stage coaches
running TO the Black Hills and other
points were being frequently held up;
so when Weeger and Morgan declined
to plead guilty to 4 lesser offense than
the one charged and stood trial ana
were convicted there was no other
alternative than to give them life SEN
fences. They are said to have belonged
to Il gang of young fellows III the upper
Part of the state. who piled the ayoca-
ton of highwaymen until all were
eventually caught and sent over the
road.

DISCUSSED IN CAUCUS.
New York's Constitutional Con
Vention Bill.

CAPITOL, ALBANY. n. Y. Jan. a.
While the assembly caucuses were be-
ing held, the Democratic senators met
and discussed in caucus the conslitu-
tional convention bill passed last year.
1t was decided to postpone the conven-
ton until the second Tuesday of NAV,
1894, and to elect the delegates at the
next November election as follows: One
hundred and fOrty-eighE delegates by
districts, four from each senatorial dis
trict and thirty-eight at large, no
elector TO vote for more than Six,
teen delegates at large. The remaining
SIX delegates at large are TO be chosen,
as follows: Two shall be chosen by
either of.the leading parties receiving
the second highest number of votes;
two from any other organization nomI-
mating by certificate and casting the
third highest number of votes. and the
remaining two in the same way, from
the organization casting the fourth
highest number of votes. This will give
the ProhibitionIsts and labor parties
representatives, and avoids tue consti-
tutional objection 10 the law passed last
winter regarding the appointment of
the delegates by the governor. Senator
Cantor will introduce the bill tomorr ow
and expects to have it passed at once.
The bill will also be introduced in The

as he prepared his ballot on the nomi-

That is right" replied John Zelch,
of Washington county.
Mr.. French was elected without the
slightest difficulty.
And yet the Lee managers and the
Hennepin delegation occasionally III
sisted that there was no slate.
There never was legislative caucus
that ground so fine as the one OF last
evening. From start 10 finish but one
man on the Lee slate was defeated, and
he was lost because his own delegation
threw him over early in the game. This
man was John Erickson, OF Hennepin,
a candidate for ergeant-at-arms. EX-
Representative Basil SmOut, OF Fari-
bault county, was the winner in this
case. Early i'll tile day he was TO Sc
cure two members for Lee, saving:
IF can get two votes L can get on
the slate''
At the time the caucus was called to
meet there were not more than forty
members present, and the Lee men
were very nervous. The whippers-in
were numerous, and under the lead of
''COrdie" Severance did effective work.
Capt. Il. 4. Castle, the postmaster of
ST. Paul. rallied the pOstmasters of the
state and led them against the members.
Just before 9 O'clock, the Lee men de-
cided to commence operations, afraid
that longer delay would lose them more
than they would gain.
The chairman OF the caucus commit
tee, Hon. E. Z. COmstoek, raped the
body to order, and announced that Hon.

THE SENATE SLATE.

The Republicans have captured the
senate. This they effected last even
ing in their caucus at the Windsor
hotel, by entering into deal which
brought over to them three Alliance
SENATOR'S William S. Dedon, of Chi
sage county; Orrin Mott. of Lincoln
county, and Lorenzo q. Wood, OF Mar
shall county.
Every Republican senator was pres
ent, making. with the three Alliance
men, twenty-eight present. Senator
Sanborn. of Ramsey, called the caucus
to order. and John Day Smith, of Hen
nepin, was nominated for chairman and
elected by accamatiOn. Senator George
II. Barr, of Blue Earth county. was
made secretary, and Senators Stockton
and Mott tellers, and the meeting pro-
ceeded to business.
The business to be transacted was
pretty we'll cut and dried. A part of
the price which brought the Alliance
men out of their party into the Repub-
llcan fold was the giving to them part
of the patronage. There are two Alli-
ance candidates for secretary of the
senate-Ed II. Folsom. of Taylor's
Falls, and Fred n. Van Duzee, of Lu-
verne. 1t was understood in advance
that one of these should be made seere-
tary, and it depended only upon
whether Senator Dedon or Senator
Mott could swing the most Republicans
into line for his cane Idate. Senator
Dedon came out winner. However,
Senator Mott was given q plum, his
siXteen-year-old boy, A. Ii. Mott. being
chosen file keeper. Senator Wood was
also provided Tor. being given his man
for assistant sergeant-at-arlns, Mr..
Topper, of klttSOn county.
What other things these three Alli-
ance men are to gain by the deal does
not appear upon the surface; but since
the caucus of last evening bound them
hand and foot on all matters Of impor-
lance connected with the organization
of the senate, such as committees, rules,
etc., it is fair to presume that they have
not sold themselves for this patronage,
which is a mere mess of pottage, but
that they are to have much more i'll the

A sE.rewd Game.

a Sk4FoWda tHalAAe.
The Republicans worked their game
very shreWdly and did not attempt the
tying process until after Folsom WAS
nominated. After nominating this man
as an earnest of good faith, Senator
Dean introduced a resolution TO make
the rules OF the tWenty-siXth session the
temporary rules OF the tWenty-eighth.
with the exception that change from I
temporary 10 permanent rules may be
made by majority instead of a two
thirds vote, as provided IN the old rules.
The resolution also provided that COM
mittee of seven senators he appointed
by the president of the senate 10 prepare
and report permanent rules. The reSOlu-
ton was carried unanimously. The three
Alliance men are thus committed, and
the senate is in full control OF the Re-
pubiicans. The DOnnelly measure of
two years ago will be wiped out through
this connivauce, and the Alliance men
not in the deal will have to dance to
the music of the Republican car.
As stated, the first matter Of nominal
ton taken up was that of candidate
for secretary or the senate. Senator
Deden nominated Folsom; Senator Mott
nominated Mott. and Senator (. X.
Smith Of lie Sueur county nominated +.
II. Dearth. On the informal ballot Fol
som received II votes, Van DuZee and
Dearth 8. On the formal ballot, Folsom
received %, Van DuZee l and Dearth 5.
On motion of Senator Smith, Folsom re-
ceiqed the unanimous vote.
After Senator Deans tieing resolution
was passed, nominations Tor assistant
secretary of the senate were declared III
order. Senator Barr nominated j. G..
Fowler, of Mankato; Senator II. +.
Stevens, of Ramsey, nominated A. p.
Swanstrum, of st. Paul. In the in
formal ballot Fowler received Is votes
and SwanstTOm 10. On motion Of Mr..
Stevens, Fowler was declared unani-
mOusly chosen.
SVTanssrOm K OOred again
Senator Tawney moved that resolu-
ton be presented III the senate creating
the position OF second assistant Secre-
tary. His motion was carried on a di-
vision by vote of 10 TO s. Those yot-
ing in the negative thought that sec
Oud assistant was not needed. Nomina-
tons for second assistant secretary
were called for. Senator Stevens pre-
sented the name of Swanstrom for the
position, and Senator Hammer. of Fill
more county, presented the name of p
p. Wall. n formal ballot was taken i'll
which Wall received % votes and Swan
