FAILURES FOR THE MONTH.
Better Turn Laborer.
Vienna, March 2. The Emperor
Franz Josef visited the vvorkingnien's
restaurant today and partook of a six
i cent lunch. He talked with a laborer
who sat at the table with him inquir
i ing as to his life. The latmrer briefly
told of his simple way of living and
then the emperor remarked, with
some feeling: "Oh, how I envy yon."
Lincoln, Neb,, March 1. A tire al
uiost totally destroyed the main build
ings of the state penitentiary located
here early this morning The loss is
$2."0,000 with no insurance.
The rlames were discovered bv the
w ife of Warden Pavis, shortly oefcre
midnight.
One company of local militia was
immediately called out and sent by
sjeeial train to the penitentiary to
assist in guarding the convicts during
the fire and after.
Two hundred and seventy-live men
were asleep in the cells when the
alarm was given. The guards awoke
them and marched the prisoners into
the yard, where they passed the
balance of the night in tho open air,
shivering with cold hut evincing no
disposition to make a dash for liberty
or to give any trouble.
One life convict broke away from
the guards and dashed back into the
c"ell house where he perished. He had
morose, scarcely speaking to anyone
for a year.
The city tire department managed to
save the east cell house and it is being
fitted up today to accommodate the
convicts.

In the senate Puttigrew was much in

first directing the committee on mili
tary affairs to investigate the public
charge against Meiklejohn, Corbin,
lliestand and others who have em-i
barked in the hemp industry in the
I'll ilippi nes, and it went over under
the rules. A communication from
Former Attorney (ieneral Monnett, of
declaring the anti-trust bill, now in
the hands of the senate judiciary com
mittee to be constitutional was intro
duced by PettiKrew and referred.
The senate- then became agitated
over tho South Dakotan's resolution
for.the discharge of the interstate com
merce committee from further con
sideration of the house bill requiring
common carriers to niip their cars
with automatic couplers and con
tinuous brakes. Klkins, Lodge, Aldrieh
ana Culk n became red in the faco
while Hoar trembled with emotion at
Pettigrew's resolution. Klkins held
the floor amid great exc; unent and
cries for vote from both sides, but the
end of the morning hour came and the
resolution went to the calendar.
The sundiy civil bill was tlnwi taken
up.

definitely the veterans of the civil war
have decided not to participate in next

A Report From New York.
New York, March 1. A special dis
patch from Washington says General
Haniel E. Sickels, who was appointed
marshal of the fourth division of the
inaugural parade, w hich was to consist
of the G. A. R. and other veteran
organisations, declared that he had no
command, because the veterans had re
fused to parade.
The reason, it is said, for their
withdrawal is that they are displeased
with the position assigned them in
the line. They insisted on being either
the escort to the president or having
the right of the line. According, to
the program, President McKinlev
will be escorted by the army and navy
cadets and those of Cleveland, O. The
regulars will head the parade, fol
lowed by the District of Columbia
militia, and the national guard organi
sations from the various states.

The Legislature Failed to Provide
It a Was axpeeted.
The hill before the late legislature
for an appropriation to complete the
monument fund failed of paeaage be
cause the two lioness could not agree
on the provisions of the bill. Thei
bill, as passed by the senate, pro
vided for a monument for tbe Second
Oregon volunteers. In the house an
mendment was made, providing that
the monument should lie erected in
honor of veterans of other waa us well,
including those of the civil war,
Mexican war and Indian wara. When
the bill came back to the senate with
this amendment, there were many sena
tors who spoke in opposition to accept
ing the proposed change. It was
argued that since a considerable por
tion of the fund had lieen raised bv
private subscription for the express
puriK)se of erecting a monument to the
Second Oregon heroes, it would not In
right to divert the fund from the
original object. The custodians of the
luml, it was said, would have no
right to appropriate it to any other
use. I he contributions had been made
by friends, relatives and admirers of
the Second Oregon boys and it would
not be right to defeat their intentions.
It was also said that there would lie
no honor in being made the tail to a
kite as would te the rase if the other
veterans were given a secondary place
on a moument erected chiefly in honor
of the veterans of the Sjianish war.
These opinions seemed to bequite gen
erally held, for a motion not to concur
in the amendments carried without
opposition. When the hill waa sent
back to the house with information of
tin senate's action, the house refused
to recede from its position am! advised
the appointment of a conference com
mittee. A conference committee was
appointed but did not reach an agree
ment liefore judgment. It thus appears
that the hill failed because the house
wanted to extend the purpose of the
monument, while the senate would not
agree to that.
