(e NINETEENTH YEAR. OMAHA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 5. 1800. ALLISON WILL BE RETURNED He Is Elected Without a Dissenting Republican Vote. END OF A REMARKABLE CONTEST Plots and Conspiracies to Encompass His Defeat Prove of No Avail— Larrabee Got Eight Votes. Towa True to Allison. . Des Moises, Ta., March 4.—[Special Tole- gram to Tur Bee. |—The general assembly decided today that William B. Ailison snould represent the state of Iowa at Washington for the next seven years, electing him with- out a dissenting republican vote for the term beginning one year from today. I'tic contest just closed is one of the most remarkable on record, considering all the circumstances, When the returns of the last election showed that the republicans had but six majority on the joint ballot, the op- position- thought that Allison could be de- feated and began work atouce. They as- sailed every gppublican from the granger districts, and when the caucus was held they expected that enough republicans would stay out to hold the balance of power; out the caucus showed that every republican vote in the legislature was given to Allison on a voluntary secrét ballot. A few soured and disappointed republicans entered into a conspiracy with the democrate to use every means possible o secure his defeat, Know- ing that it conld not be accomplished with a democratic candidate, thoy tried to do it with Governor Larrabee. ~ The state was flooded with requests to got up petitions ask- ing for his election. A few ringmasters who think they carry the vote of the Farmers' alliance “in their pocket attempted to manipulate that organization for that purpose. ‘Uhe machinery of tho democratic party was turnod loose to help on the scheme. Democratic workers can- vassed the state, drumming up signatures from the rank and file of the democratic party. These persons were then senc to the legislature, purporting to come from repub- lican farmers opposed to Allison. The con tinuance of the deudlock gave the vlotters abundant opportunity to find out what the real feeling was throughout the state. They had plenty ot time for collecting dem- ocratic numes for a republican legislature, and several thousand were reported with the hope that some ropublican member might bo intimidated nto breaking faith with his party, but in spite of petitions and threats the republican line remained unbroken, The election 1n the house was held at 11 a. m. today, Kvery republican was present ex- cept Byers of Licas county, who was away on account of sickness, = Represontatives Walden and Chase nominated Allison, and the vote showed that Allison received every republican vote, Governor Larrabee, who had been boomed 80 _enthusiastically by the democrats, received but six votes, and the regular democratic candidate, Mr. Bestow, received the resc. Every republican in the senate, twenty- eight in number, was prosent and voted straight. Governor Larrabeo received two votes and Bestow twenty, As Allson bad & majority in each house no election will be mecessary in tho joint convention tomorrow. There is great rejoicing among the repub- licans tonight.

The cashier who has been assisting Governor Francis m examioing the books stated that up to this cvening no shortage has b2en dis- covered, and he believed the accounts of the oftice and the money in the treasury would be found all right. Chairman Mofiitt of the state democratic committee today said: “The mouey of the state is divided into sums for specific purs poses and appropriations to meet. tho ex- penses of the different branches und depart- ments of the state government, must as the law provides, be drawn from thoss respec- tive funds. According to the reports whic 4 bave heard in the bondsuien meetings, No- land’s using the:money belonging to one fund for the purpose of another and through his deviation from the preseribod methods of hlnalluF the money got his accounts nto a tangle,’ A Jefferson City special says: Governor Francis iate this afternoon formally sus- pended State Treasurer Noland from office. ‘elegrams were sent to all depositorics of state funds by the governor, notifying them that he had taken charge of the office. Governor Francis said: “My investigation into the affairs of the treasury department is not complete, but L have discovered some drregularitios and 1t is mandatory upon me to suspond Treasurer Noland from office, Just what the irregularities are I can not state. If there is a deficit it 18 a small one.” Quo warranto broceedings will now be 1n- stituted before the supremo court, which convenes next Monday, Rumors on the stroot place the amount of the treasurer's shortage between $30,000 to §40,000, aval Brute.

The mastor-at-arms of the Bear testified that last summer at Onalaska the master of the bark Eswella complained to Captain Healy of the conduct of somw of the Estrolla’s crew. On Heaiy's oraer the master-at-arms brought two of these sailors on the Bear and triced thewm up with their toes touching the deck for seven wmin- utes, Then they were let down sud hand- cuffed to stanchions below the deck for seven hours, after which they were triced up & second time, I'wonty-one sailors from the bark Wanderer were placed in irons b, Healy's orders and six of them fainted. Witness nover knew tealy to ill-treat his own crew. e Lincoln's Condition Unchanged, Loxnox, March 4.—The coudition of Mas- ter Abrabaw Lincolu shows no improvewent this morning, THE REPUBLICAN CLUBS, Opening of the National Convention at Nashville, Tennessce. NasuviLLe, Tenn., March 4. —At 12 o'clock today, when A. J. Watson, chairman of the local executive committee of the national league of republican clubs, ocailed the con- ventiou to order and made the address of wolcome, there were nearly six hundred del- egatés present. At least a hundred more are expected before the convention adjourns, In the course of the address of welcome by Chairman Wilson, he said: *‘That you have chosen this, our rising and beautiful of the once south, is evidence that peace reigns here, wh but a few years swce, war unhooded her bloody hawks that nationality now reigns supremo here where provincial sectionalism pent-up the scope of patriotic endeavor and aspiration’ In closing he “Republicans of the league, you represent the only national party exist- ing in the nation, the party that saved the nation by its courage, and will ever rulo it with wisdom for the common good. All its divisions, without distinct'on of wealth, color or religion, are for the whole republic.” Hon. G. N. Tilman, Captain William Rule, editor of the Knoxville Journal, and W. G. Winstead, all of Tennessee, followed with brilliant addresses, after which the conven- tion was turned over to President Thurston of Nevraska who made an eloguent ad- dress, ‘The usnal committees were then appointed, after which the convention took u s 10 al- low the various committees time to complete their work, At the mass meeting tonight addresses were wude by General Groff of West Vir- ginia, Hon. H. Lenhart of Philadelphia, Hon. John L. Webster of Nebraska and John M. Thurston of Nebraska, President hurs- ton suid ‘‘The league,” he said, “is the landwehr of the republicon party, It s its organized, active aggressive force, always roady. It can enter upon a political cawpaign at a moment’s notice, [t is not in- tended that it shall take the place of or an- tagonize the regular party organization, but rather that it shall corporate with and in 'some respects be auxiliary to.” *“Republicanism,” he continued, “‘has noth- ing to fear from eaucational methods and - tellectual investigation. The two parties are 80 evenly divided in present strength that which ever one secures a majority of the first vote of any national election will most likely succeed. It 1s therefore most important to win the young men to the republican party, The olub should there- fore be the republican school, bureau of in- formation and town meeting combined. The league, I believe, 18 to be a controlling politi- cal factor in the future of this country. It will not dominate, but it will elect presi dents, It is an organization designed to make politics popular. 1t permits the par- ticipation of the masses on party affairs. It utilizes the enthusiasm of youth and the ex-. perience of age. It 18 & matter for profound congratulation that the vresident of the United States 1s a republican, His adminis - tration should be ipheld and strengthened by the republican leagus and I ask this con- vention to endorse it by a praper resolution. Werejoice toduy that we have a republican congress and that Reed 1s the speaker of it, Big,.brawny and brave, he cannot be bullied or bamboozied. When ' he refused to permit the minority either to rule or ruin he put an end forever to a pernicious practice. The clmm of the democratic cougressman is more than absurd; it s ridiculous, He is always present for buncombe, but. not for business; for salary but not for servier for talk, but not tor tariff; for wrangling, but not for work; for cusseduess, but not for count; for party service, but not for the public good. He re- fuses to be seen when 1t is necessary to raise & quoram, but demands recognition when- ever he wishes to raise hell. The practical good judgment of the American people will 10 longer accept of fillibustering for states- manship, and 3he suppression of the prize puzzle 18 hailed with joy by every thinking man.” ‘The speaker then proceeded to deliver a further eulogy on the republican party and to outline the work whnich he saw before 1t, ‘The speaker beiieved that much of the south was truly republican today and said that Tennessee was republican on a fair couat, Iv was lis belief that the ‘‘fearless wen’” of the south will nov much longer permit a few selfish political leaders to perpetuate their power against the honest wish and will of the ma- jority. The chivalry which has done so much for Dixip will net long permit the de- nial of political rights *¢ any man entitled to e under the constitution of this conntry.” He ciosed with a few words expressing confidence i the future of the party and of the league. ] The committees will all be ready to report tomorrow. The next convention will be held at Cincionati. It is now thought Judge Thurston will be re-elected president by ac- clamation, - EMMETT'S ANNIVERSARY. Thomas Brennan the Principal Speaker at Ohicazo Cu1cAGo, March 4.—Central Music hall was packed tonight with Irish nationalists to celebrats Robert Emmett's anniversary. The principal speaker of the evening was Thomas Brennan of Omaba, the first general secretary of the Irish National Land league in Ireland. In the course of his ad- dress Brennan said: “Sincerely is peace with England wanted, but it must be peace with honor. If to ob- tain peace they must sneer ‘at fight~ erslike Emmett and h men as the fenjans whodied on the gallows at Mauchester,then 1s the voice of the entire Irish race, ‘Let the old tight go on.”” The sons of Ireland had the same right in this day as the Americans had in 1776, to fizht and die if necessary for liverty from England and English tyranuy. They had the right o the same weapons or auy other weapons of u wmore - destructive kind (wild cheering repeated aeain and again) if they bad but the prospect of success, For the present the sword was in the scabbard and they were pledged not to unsheath if un- less in_dire necessity, and they were able to drive it to the bilt. So long as Ire- land was held a8 a subject proyince Irishmen would continue to work and pian together, and if need be again conspire and plot, ——— A lAliTFLB— FiiOM GROVER, An Epistle to the Indiana Tariff Re- form League, INDIANAPOLIS, March 4.—Ata meeting of the State Tariff Reform league tonighta letter was read from ex-Presidgent Cleve- land, iu which he says in part: Though my letters to democratic aund tariff. reform nssemblages lately have been very frequent, 1 cannot dony your request to add a word of encouragement to tarift reformers, * * * The democratic party, as the party of the people, is opYnnud to all safish schewes which ignore the public good and is pledged to the interests of ‘all citizens instead of the furtherance of the interests of a few who scek to pervert governmental powers for their enrichment. Tt was never uearer to its fundamental principles than in its con- tests for tariff refori.

MAY DELAY THE TARIFE BILL L The Committes Strikes a Snag In the Sugar Question. PADDOCK ENTERS A DISCLAIMER Not Responsible for the Bill He In- troduced Repealing the Haul Clause of the Interstate Commerce Law, 3 FOURTERNTH STREBT, Wasnisaron, D, C., March 4. ‘The republican members of the house com- mittee on ways and means have struck a enag in the sugar question, Messrs. Bur- rows of Michigan, La Follette of Wisconsin and Gear of Iowa iusist that raw sugar shull be admitted free of duty and a bounty of 2 cents pad on all domestic sugar produced. The other republican members of the com- mittee are understood to be opposed to any bounty whatever and to favor a reduction of the prosent duty on sugar to the extent of 30 per cent or more. The contention over the two propositions will likely result mn a further delay upon the report of vhe bill for probably a couple of weeks. A DISCLAIMER. Senator Paddock says that he (s not re- sponsible for the bill which he introduced yesterday, proposing a repeal of the lung and short haul clause and the pooling sections of the interstate commerce law. He introduced the bill by request. ARRIGATION OF ARID LANDS. ““While I do not expect to sce a ganeral appropriation made for the purpose of begin- ning the irrigation of the arid plains, T am confident that besides au appropriation for the purpose of making surveys and final plans to begin irrigation ‘that an appropriation of about §150,000 will be made to locate the ar- tesian basins in North and South Dakota,’ said Representative Hansbrough of North Dakota w0 your correspondent today. *‘Ir- rigation is very important to the people in the great northwest. I am sure in my mind that we can easily and oheaply secure all the irrigation we want by simply boring artesian wells and that the appropriation of $150,000 will be for actual wells to be used in irrigation which will be practical experiments and not theo- retical inyesttgation.

Tho friends of Captain McCalla in this city, and they are numerous, are con- fident that he will come out of the investiga- tion with credit and a clean record.

Lovis, Mo.,, March 4.~[Special Tele- gram to Tne Bee [—This afternoon Attor- ney Thomas B. Harvey, accompanied by Clede Fieming, went before Assistant Pros- ecuting Attornoy BDierhes, at the Four Courts, and swore out & warrant charging Sergeant Thomas Ormsby of Omaha and Onficer Robert J, Williams of St. Loms with abduction, Ten minutes later the frail Clode had afixed her cramped signature to the official document, and the crimisal action which the woman and her attorney have for days threatenod had in reality commenced. The charge against Sergeant Ormsby is an unusual one. Never beforo in the Llory of the St. Louis criminal courts has such a warrant been framed: I% is drawn under the habeas corpus statute, and charges in of- fect that on the 10th day of February, 1800, thedefendant, in order to avold a_ writ which had been served upon him, wilfully removed from out of the jurisdiction of the court the body of the pstitioner, Clede Flem-+ ing, ‘I'he charge against OfMicer Williams 18 that hie nided and aootted in the removal of the petitioner.

The behet is expressed among eriminal at- torneys that Mr. Harvey will exparience great difficulty in inducing Sergeaut Ormsby to appoar in St. Louis to angwer to the charge aghinst him, and requisition papers will be applied for at once from Governor Francis at Jefferson City. It is not theught the requisition will be honored by the Nebraska autborities.

Wasmixaroy, March 4. —~The Pan Aweri- can conferance has adoptad the report of the committee on international ltw. The com- mif¢ee on customs union made a majority and minority report teday. The majority report says to establish a customs union as generally understood would require not only a purtial sacritice of national sovereignty of the American/nations, butjmore radical chang- esyin their respective constituencies thun they are willing to accept. ‘The majority be- lieves the principle of unrestricted rec rocity is acceptable and that its adoption wouid bring about as favorable results as those obtained by free trade amorg the dif- ferent states of the union. A customs uniou based on this, however, the majority deems impracticable as a continental sysiem at present, Unrestricted reciprocity might be obtained gradually. The frss step is the ne gotiation of partial freciprocity treaties whereby . each mation: may agree to remove or diminish their respective import dutics on some of the natural or manufactured products ot one or more nations, in exchange for simffr and equivalent advant: . ¥ good results should follow as oxpécted the number of ar- ticles might be enjargeq from time to, tima until they attan, throuh the developments of the natural elements of wealth, other sources of revenue or the increase of exist- g ones which would allow the contracting nations to reach unrestricted reciprocity— free trade among some or all the American nations, The minority, Alfonso of Chilt and Pina of Argentine, state that differences of opinion n regard to the form of the report and rec- ommendation led the minority to reject the whole subject, These delegates, 1t is said, felt that as long as the United States lays a tariff on wool, the principal article produced in their countries, reciprocity would not benefit them.

He said he sup- ported the amendment because it was liter- ally true. Matthews, home secrotary, contended that the amendment was only part truth, stated with passionate and inflammatory adjectives. The government simply proposed to rocord its findings both for and against the Parnell- ites. donlining to adopt a course giving the go-by to all the findings against the Parnell- ites in order to sunply express the condemnation in which shared of the falsity and foul origin of the charges which had been disproved. He accused (iladstone of laying down the dangerous and disastrous doctrine that the land pet of 1881 had been passed on account of the agitation of the league, just as he de- clared in Midlothian, tha% the Clerkenwell explosion and shooting of policenien ut Man- chestor had brought the disestablishment of the Irish church within the range of practi- cal politica, Harrinzton (nationalist) said whilo the commission was sitting a conspiracy was in progress in which the ministers were deeply involved to obtain perjured evidenco to de- stroy the character of the Parnellite: He read aseries of telegrams to the Times' agents in America with reference to Millen and Sheridan. Attorney General \Webster denied having seen any of them, “Then you were betraved by your col- leagues,” said Harrington, ‘‘Those tele- grams prove a conspiracy deeper and fouler than anything proved againsy the Parnell- ites.” Proceeding to show.the government was behind this attack Harrington read a telegram addressed to one Johnson in New York to the effect that the British consul W authorized to give him the names of informers. He read further telegrams showing that even after Attorney General Webster apologized - for the forgeries the Times still endeavored to precure evidence through Sheridan to establish their authen- ticity and was offering as much as_$30,000 as a bribe for perjured testimony. Harring- ton declined to say how he obtained the tele- grams unless a_committes of inquiry was granted, in which case more would be forth- comng. all he Lords.

Over two thousand carriuges were drived to the Prati de Castello and an audience of 20,000 people braved a dripping rain, and Lord Dufferin and many other diplomats were present. Awmong the Romans were: The wife of Premier Crispi, Duo de Torlonia, Mme, Depretis. Princes Colons, Countess Anto- nelli, Baroness de Rengis, Princess Bron- cacciai, Count Gianrotti, and the scions of all the moble houses. Two of the wild horses wero driven into the arena. They had neither saddle nor bridie on, Buffalo Bill announced that they would be conquered in tive min- utes. The cowboys lassoed, saddled, bridled and mounted the horses. They leaped mto the air, writhed, buckea and reared madly, all 1o vain, In fivo minutes they wero rid- den easily around, while the vast crowd, uns mindful of the rain, roared and shricked with delight.

H, March 4,—[ Tole- gram to Tue Bee]—There are many por- sons who belicve that Isaac Sawtéllo secreted the missing head of his brotoer, Hiram, in an old well about a mile from the place from where the body was found. Within a few days a partial search has been made by weans of long poles, which has revealed evidence that there are’ stones in the bottom, also a long piece of wood, which it is thought may Le a spade or pick: ax bandle. Soveral stones are missing from a neighboring ‘well, kLaving evidently been removed recently, whilo marks around the mouth of the well show that some one had visited it within a short time. John Hobbs of Farmington, succeeded after several hours work with a pole, iu bringing up a thread from a piece of cloth similar to that used by Suwtelle to carry the tools vurchased by him from = Hardware Dealer Wallace, the day Hiram was mur- dered. He also founa two or three hairs clinging to the wet pole when it was drawn up, while close to the well was found a small bone collar button. 'There is nbout six feet of water 1 the well at present. The search will be continued. The theory is that Sawtelle, aftor throwing in the head and the bag of tools, dumped in the stoues to hold thewm down. - ONE DAY WAS ENOUGH. aptain Black Throws Up His Gov- ernment Johin Disgust. Niosrara, Neb., March 4.—|Special to Tue Bee.] —Captain Black of Fremont, who was recently appointed as ‘“industrial teacher” at Santee agency, came up last Friday to take his position. He went.down from here and was introduced to the super- intendent of schools, who went about show- ing him the different duties. He came to the engine which furnishes the heat for the large government school and asked the superintendent who looked after that. He was informed that this was one of his duties. Next he came to the stable and other outside establishments, and on leaving the superintendent informed Black that ho would be around at 1o the morning to show him his other duties. This was too0 much for the new candidate for gov- ernmental honors, who burst out with. *You have shown me enough, sir! I shail return home in the morning.” It wus unde: stood that Captain Black was to be an in- structor at a salary of about 81,000, but in- stead he was assigned to u 500 position, the duties of whick, according to the former “in- structor” were those of a roustabout frow 4 a. w. 10 11 p. m.

SPECTATORS FILL THE CHAMBER, Counsel for Appellant Maintain That the Deputy's Instructions Were Contrary to the Cone stitudion. A Question of Jurisdiction. WasmiNaroy, March 4,—The suvreme court chamber was filled today with an aus dienco that listened attentively to the argu- ments in the Neagle case, arising out of the shooting of David Terry last summer while in the act of committing an wssault upon Judge Field of the supremo court. All the Justices woro present excopt Jus- tice Plield. The argumeont was opened by Zuch Montgomery in behalf of the appel- lant, Shenff Cunningham, from whose jurisdiction Neagle was discharged on a writ of habeas corpus sued by the United States court on_tho ground that he was an_ofticer of the United States, & deputy marshal, engaged in the performance of his duties, protecting a justice of the United States' supreme court, nnd could not be imprisoned by stats authoritios. Montgomery said it was the contontion of tho state authorities that thoe sole question before the court wus a jurisdictional one, and therefore all quostions of Neagle's guilt or innocence were irrolovant, Ho reviewed the leading points in the evidence, The chief feature of the review was Montgow- s clarge that it was not the purpose of Neagle's appointment to have hin use his official authority to vrevent a breach of the peace, but to have him resent foreibly front put upon Justice Field, Mont- gomery maintained that unicss thero was specific, statutory authority for the instruce tions given Neagle to accompany Justice Ficld thero was no authority for his releass by the United States circuit court. He maintained upon the authority of sece tion 553 of the tevised stututes that a wriv of habeas corpus should not extena to u pris- oner uuless i custody for an_act done in bursuanee of the luw of the United States. It 1t were truo that the act was justiflable homicide, nccessary for the protection of Justice i'ield, then “there nood not be any fear that the state would not acquit bim, vut this.was for the stato to docide. On this point Attorney General Miller,who followed on behalf of the United States, said he would base bis argument on two proposi- tions. 1. That it is the duty of the executive des partment to protect the judiciary of the gova ernment. Chat under the constitution the judiciary being in abeyance 1o the exccutive, it is tho duty of the judiciary department to sit in judzement upon tha ncts of its oMicers in pers forming thewr duties in accordance with the constitution. He quoted from the words of Secretary Bayard that the inherent right of government to enact and enforce laws gives it the power to protect its servants i their execution, The attorney general arguod his case on this line, 7The proposition advanced on tho part of the state was a heresy us old as the gov- ernment, which had been refuted times without number in the courts, in congre: and upon battle flields. It was this same ar- gument that the executve bhad no power ex- copt such as was specifically granted by the legislative department that was used by the promoters of tho civil war todeny the power of the governmeut to coetce the seceding states, Justice Bradley interrupted the attorney general 10 the course of his remarks with tne question: “With whut force shall the president execute this power of protection of which you speak. Supuosing the marshal has not sufiicient force for the purposs ! ‘I'he Attorney nl.‘r&k—\V(lh @ vosse in the first instance and if that was not suffi- cient with thé army and navy, Justice Bradley—Then he has the right 10 aid ali citizens " of the United States in maintainivg the laws and in protecting the the institutions vf the government(” Joseph Choate of New York, who foilowed Attorney General Miller us one of the coun- +el for the governmént, opened his argument with the statement that ever since the bes ginning of the goverament the people of the United States had rested in the conviction that they,constituted the nation ; that wivhin its limits the government was sovereign and supreme and that it had within itself all the powers and facilities wo - fulfill 1ts owa func- tions and to accomplish its own purposes. In doing this the government was bob subje to hindrauce or interference by any power whatever, The government hud the power, as It was its duLy, to secure the per- formance of the governmental operations and 1o protect its servants and ugents in doing the duties entrusted to them. Kor the first time 1 & hundred years the people wera not members, with the startling intelligence that a justice of the highest court was not ontitled to the protection of the government in going from one place to unother in his eir- cuit. Choate had not finished his argument when the court adjourned. —_——— EXPLODID A BOMB, The Trans-Missouri Passenger Assos clation Startled, Kaxsas Ciry, March 4.—At a meoting of whe Trans-Missourt Pusscoger association today the Missouri Pacific exploded a bomb that may disrupt the assoviation.
