LINCOLN, Marcn 2S.-tSpecial telegram
The attempt to reconsider the bill ap-
propriating 100000 for the medical depart
ment Of the University OF Nebraska to be
finally located at Omaha was defeated in
the house this morning. as;,-ough Acting
Speaker Quackenbush allowed it to so to
vote. Immediately after roll call this
morning Hatfield OF Lancaster, who has
led the fight for the Lincoln doctors against
the Omaha school, moved that the records
Iof last nights session be corrected to allow
the insertion Of the Ellis motion to recon
slider the bill This was necessary II any
reconsideration was to be had as yesterday
was the last day that a reconsideration
lcould be permitted. Quackenbush ruled
this motion out OF order on a point raised
Iby kotouc, who insisted that the motion
had not been made by Ellis in time to go
into the record and that he had not him
selk asked that It be added to the record.
Hatfield then moved that as a substitute
to adopting the journal il stood 1t should
be adopted with that motion added. To
give chance for a roll call upon the merit
OF the question the acting speaker allowed
this motion to go, but 1t was defeated by
> Al to %. Boland was the only member OF
the Douglas county delegation who voted
with Hatfield.
The bill will now go to the senate and 1t
| seems quite probable that the upper house
viii agree to the expenditure for the good
OF the university.

Omaha Charter Passes.
/ The Omaha charter bill passed the senate
u without dissenting vote. AS the bill
came from the committee the tax levy
maximum is cut down 100000, but other
4 wise the bill remains as it was when first
amended by the senate committee, The
principal objections that were made to 1t
in regard TO the rights of property own
ers in deciding upon paving were all met
by the committee as soon as objections
were made.
LeidiEh Makes Mistake.
Leidigh OF Otoe, in his zeal for keeping
1.-THE voting members OF the legislature free
from impure influences, insisted that Con
gressman Charles H. Sloan be compelled
Ito leave the floor while a vote was in
progress today. Congressman Sloan had
come on the floor and was standing near
the Lancaster county delegation talking TO
the members. Ledigh shouted angrily
that that man" should be taken off the
floor and the chair ordered the sergeant
alarms to lead him away before 1t was
: noticed who he was.
Prince of Hall apologized for the house
I and moved that Congressman Sloan be es-
lcorted to a seat beside the speaker, which
; was done by Baker OF York while the
) house applauded.
} Ledgh saw his mistake and made his
: personal apology 10 the member OF con-
- lgress. Later the speaker called Mr.. Sloan
to the rostrum and he spoke briefly, con-
graduating the members upon their
4 records, and making a joke OF Leidigh
e mistake.
A split in the Lancaster county delega-

beet sugar workers can be allowed to vot,
before they leave the city for their sum
i mer's work. These votes are ell wet and
J. the vets have been trying TO find som,
