The following are the appropriations
scant Consideration Given.

Never before in the history OF Ne
brnska Legislatures have appropriation
bills received such scant consideration.
Some bills had to be passed upon in
the senate without consideration or
even without reading. This was be-
cause the time for final adjournment
had been agreed To before the legisla-
ture was fully prepared to adjourn.
Owing to the large number OF new
buildings and deficiency claims pro-
vidcd for the total appropriation Will
probably bc large. 1t is expected that
IL will exceed 2,36j, SAB, appropriated
two years ago. The current expense
bill as Il went into the hands of the
conference committee, appropriated
over 81, 1Oi 900. and the salary bill ap-
propriatcd over Ss43, 600.
The beet sugar bounty claims
amounting To ST.. 900 never got place
in any bill, but the bounty for chicory
manufacturers, amounting tn $4,000,
was placed in the miscellaneous claims
bill. An item Of $4,000 for unpaid
claims for bounty on wild animals and
Si5.O 900 for future claims of the same
nature was allowed.
Serious trouble occurred between
the two houses over the university sal
airy appropriation. A compromise was
effected and the senat recedcd from
It's amendment and the amount was
reduced from sac. coo to $685. 900.

The 1890 legislature came TO an
end Sunday evening, April 2, at o
o'clock. when the last bills had been
signed by the presiding officers, and
the gavels fell for the last time. Its
last hours were spent in trying to
agree on the appropriation bills and
miscellaneous claims bill. IL was some
time before the houses could agree on
the allowance OF claims OF daily papers
for publishing constitutional amend
ments. A conference committee APP
pointed TO grapple with the question

Friday, March 81.

The house of representatives had
n lively session yesterday after tho
sergeant-at-arms had made his return
on the subpoena which he had served
on Ross Hammond. He gave with it
some reasons which the editor gave
when the paper was served as to why
he should not appear. He had de-
manded his fee. and also had said as a
federal officer. he could not come. In
addition. he said hat the spirit of tho
action of the house was against tho
freedom of the press. which he dcprc'
Gated. He also denied the jurisdiction
of the house.
At this Representative Burns handed
in a long explanation OF his action in
going on the sitting committee and in
which he made n sensational statement
that the only mention of money in re-
gard to legislation had come to him
from II. b. Schneider. He was very
much worked up over the matter and
the speeches which he made were
among the warmest of the session.
A little further along in the session,
Representative Fisher introduced n
resolution finding Mr.. Hammond in
contempt for not answering the sub
pnna Of the house. After some dis
cussion this was passed.
An effort was made to reconsider the
house action on the Lincoln monument
bill. but failed. The bill had been
postponed. In the debate Cunningham
of Harlan, and Taylor of Nance, nearly
came to blows over personal remarks.
The house in committee of the whole
considered all the bills on the sitting
file reported yesterday and after a
hard tussle on some of them placed
them on their passage. The voting
machine bill was recommended for
postponement, but was finally, on the
report of the committee, recommended
for passage. Something of a sensation
was sprung by Taylor of Custer, who
found that the free attendance high
| school bill had been added to the re
port of the sitting committee after il
had been made the property of thu
house. The bill was ordered PLACED
again on the sitting file and was late
reported by the sitting committee TO-
advancement with the list Of bills sub
mitted later.
