LINCOLN, Jan. 20.-(Special)-In the
senate today the usual number of new
bills were introduced, and the usual
number referred to the standing committees.

on bills have been received from commit

on general file for consideration Of the COM
mittee of the whole. More progress Is
looked for in the early future, The printers
are now making good progress with their
work, and several standing committees held
preliminary sessions this afternoon.
The senate this morning disposed of the
effort made by Mr. Murphy of Gage look

yersity and normal schools, OF which Mr..

asked permission to visit Peru tc investigate
the necessity for new building. Mr..
Murphy offered an amendment to the roso-
luton instructing the committee to also visit
Beatrice to look over grounds that would be
offered the state II the Peru institution could
be removed. This forenoon the matter came
up for final settlement. Mr.. Dundas or Ne
