ML IS LOSING ERIENDS In Washington He is Not Very Favorably | Regardel, COMMENT ON HIS RECENT SPEECHES Yiews of a Prominent Now York Politician ~Ne as Cleveland & Chance for the Presidontial Nos win Repenl the Sugar Bounty, her ation Wasiixatox Brreav or tan Bre, 518 FOURTEENT STREET, WasniNeTos, D, C., Mareh 17 @Senator Hill's performances in his great swing around the circle are not addiag o his strength here in Washington. His speeches yesterany roported in this morning's papers are commented upon as weak and unstates- manlike. They are such palpable bids for the presidency that they will probably over shoot the mark and do more hurt in alien- ating friends than 10 winning over enemios. Their first effect has been to widen the breach between the Cleveland and Hill forces and to emphasize the split in the party. A very prominent Now York demooratic politician said this evening that neither Hill or Cleveland could now, in his judgment, be nominated and that a silver bill veto would certainly throw New York and all New Eug- land over to the republican side. Will Repeal the Sugar Bounty. The democrats are determined to repeal the sugar bounty and the bill will bo at once reported. There is not much doubt that such a measure will have an casier timo in the houso than in the senate and that as o soparate measure it would encounter the prosident’s veto. Tho plau that is still dis- discussod is to debate the bill as a separate proposition, attach it as a rider to one of tho appropriation bills, probably the sundry civil, and then threaten the loss of tho measuro if the repcaling item is assailed. The beet sugar bouuty is in veiy great danger and it will need hard work on the part of its friends influencing local constitu- encles to provent its repeal. Nebraska Will Get ler Share. The passage by the sonato of the general bill for postoftice buildings sent that measure over to the hoase in every essential feature ldentical with the first bill on this subject ever introduced into congress and which was draftea and pushed into prominence by Sen- ator Paddock of Nebraska. The final amend- ments made in the bill yesterday are in tho tine of liverality, and as no appropriation is made in tho measure it is believed that tho bill will secure cousideration and passage i the house. Under its wrovisions, according to a statoment whicb Seuator Paddock had prepared today, forty buildings for postofiice urposes would be constructed in Nebrasku. Burlng the past six yoars congress has authorizod tho coustruction of 134 publ buildings, which will cost £34,000,000 before their completion. “Under this bill,” said Senator Paddock today. “even at the limit placed by myself of & maximum cost, based upon the Rross re- coipts for three years previously, a total ex- penditure of $52,000,000 would” provide tho cities ana towns of the United States, not now provided for, with substantial and com- modious postoffice buildings.” Senator Pad- dock added that, in bis opinion, this measure, 1f enacted into a law, would bo one of the most beneficial for Nebraska and the western states of any which had been conceived and carried 1o a successful conclusion. It would take out politics the log-rolling now necessary to got a pubiic building for towns which are entitled to them, and 1t would pre- vont constant pressure for terms of United BStates courts, which are now demanded largely as a prellmlnnr{ to securing & court house and postoffice building. Tt would ada to the attractiveness of our cities and towus nd it would cause the expenditure of largo sums of money, while in the end saving still groater sums to the government. Remembered by Soldier Friends. Senator Manderson is very popular with the old soldiers. Ho is especially so with his old Obio comrades. Thelates éxpression of their good will isseen ina magnificent avel presented to him by the Nineteenth hio infantry, of which he was colonel from Shiloh unt|l ‘the close of tho year 1564 The gavel is full of historic interest. It was pre- sented to bim recently by acommittes ap- pointed at & meeting of the Nineteenth regi- ment, Ohio Infantry association, held in Detroit in August last. [n carrying out tho instructions the committee had the gavel made of woods from the prominent battle flelds where the regiment, led by their commander, eneral Manderson, partici- patea io the confiict between the north ana south. The handle, made of oherry, bears the name of Rich Mountain, which was one of the first battles fought in West Virginia, On the other woods forming the gavel are the namos of Shiloh, Jonesboro, Stone's River, Rookyford, Pickett's Mills, Keune- saw Mountain, Mission Ridge and Lovejoy Statlen. Senator Manderson in his letter ac- knowledging this gift states that he will place it by the side of the brace of pistols that were presented to him by the wembers of his regiment after the desperate battle of BStone River. Headds: *“The history of our regiment is the bistory of the war of the rebellion in the central west.” This gift is presented as an oxprossion on the part of the comrades of General Mander- som, not only of their affection for him, but also for their appreciation of the honors which have come to him in his public careor. Guarding Veterans' Interests. Senators Manderson and Paddock have for the past several weeks been holding frequent conferences upon the subject of pension ex- amining boards in Nevraska and collecting all avatlable information upon the porsounol of those composing it. Changos are, of course, 0cQUrFing quite freely in the member- ship of these boards, and whenever resizna- tions or vacancies caused by death take place, they will be promptly fitied. 1t is pos- sible, however, that thero will be some re- movals, although this has not yet beon defin- itely decided upon. Complaint of the quali- fications of a number of the members have been made, and all such will be carefully in- vestigated before any action is taken. ‘It is hinted that should changes be made by re- moval that the boards at Ashland, Nelign, Hastiogs aud Beaver City may possibly be affected. The nsion oftice is extremely auxious that the eficiency of examining boards shall be raised and the service im- proving in consequence. Miscellaneou The bill introduced by Delegate Harvey of Oklapoma, providing for tne disposition of the Cherokee and Arapahoo lands in the In- dian territory, contains a clause providing for persoual settlement. Thi lause has ex- cited much opposition throughout the west and & great many petitions are coming iuto Senators Manaerson and Paddock pro- testing against the wording of the ob {,o:uuunbls clause aud ) tiog that it shall changed in oxder to afford to old soldiors rights and exemptions to which they have been entitled under other land laws of the United States. The attompt will accordiugly be made 10 amend the bill when 1t comes over to the senate. ‘The Postoftice department declines to give additional mail rvice to Hot Springs on the B. & M. rallroad, and as the Burlington people refuse to accept the minfmum propesi- tov, the latter will bave to rest until the re- adjustment of mall service next July, when without question some arrungement satisfac- tory to both the goverament and the railroad will be adjustea. Major J. W. Paddock of Omahs left this svening for New York to atten, ting of the Union Pacitio directory. He will return on Thursday to the west. Major Padaock does nov believe that the democratio party of Nebraska is in favor of free coinage and & debased currency, General Schofleld said this morning that the obarges of oppression against Captaia Bourke wili be investigated by the War d partment. There is no doubt in the minas of army officers here that the investigatiou will result in the exoneration of the captain.

Constitutionality of the Liguor Law Amend- ments to bo Tested—Court Notes, Although Judge Davis refused to discharge Ernest Soehl, August Hartman, Fred Hunt- zinger and Joe Rowles, the four suloon keep- ers who pleaded guilty to the indictment for selling liquor on the two mile strip without a license he practically acquiesced in the re- quest of the dofendants’ attorney. After fining each $300 and costs, the de- fendants to stand committed uutil paid, the judge released them under bond, pending the decision of the supreme court on the consti- tutionality of the statute under which they were indictea. Mr. (iunnon’s position is thut under the old law the county commissionel were not allowed to grant a license for a st loon within two miles of the city limits, and the city suthorities could not, of course, grant a licenso beyond the city limits, The last legislature enacted a law desigued to reach the unlicensed saloon keepers on this two mile strip, by giviog the county com- missioners autuority there that they had hitherto posscssed. The law applies to coun- ties having a population of 150,000 or over, which of course means Douglas county, Mr, Gannon holds that this gives the people of Douglas county rights that none of the other counties of tho state possess, and is thereforo special legisiation, For this reason he holds that the statute 1s unconstitutional and void. The county court room is tomporarily given over 10 the undisputed possession of the minor attaches of the oftice, as Judge Eller 1s defendant in Judge Irvine's court in @ case wherein he is sued on a real estate doal with Jacob Carsten for an alleged bal- auce due on property purchased. His de- fense is that ho allowed enough of the prop- erty to revert to the original owner to uuliu}y the claim in full, The case of C. L.Chaffeo vs Sligel & Gould still holds the boards in Judgo Kyser's court. The plaiutiff seeks to collect the sum of $20,000 atleged to have been due the Howell Lumber company, when that concern’s busi- uness when into the hands of the plaintiff, Judge Loane set some of tho attorneys to thinking this morning. Several of the cases that were set for the day were called. and for one reason or another tho interested ut; torneys did not appear. Four cases were disposed of by the court In about as many minutes, and the docket thathas known them will know them no more, Some of the lawyers drifted 1n later and explained that they had taken it for granted that the case on trial in the early morning would occupy the attention of the court all day, but their tears ocoulaw’t restore the spilt milk to the pitcher, Vennis Cunningham was granted a tem- vorary injunction yesterday afternoon by Judge Ferguson restraining George and Walter W. Allen from collecting on a con- fessed judement for $7,160.80 .by Ryan & lug that the case in which be is interested with Ryan & Walsh is an alto- gother differeat oue than that in which judg- ment was confessed, and one that 1s now ou the docket und yet o be tried in the district court, Judge Irvine granted a temporary injunc- tion yesterday afternoon restraining Heory Gibson from further pressiug a suit for $1,842.10 agminst James H.

Bew bldg THE ORDERED ANOTHER VIADUCT | Ordinance Asked by Fifteenth Street People Passed by the Oounoil. CITY ATTORNEY CONNELL'S OPINION e Saya the City Can Compel the Con- ction of Both Viaduets—Power of the Board of Public Works Re- stored by a Veto, Preliminary steps were taken by the coun- cil tast night lookiug to the construction of a viaduct across the railroad tracks on Fif- teenth street. At the regular meeting of the council last Tuesday night an ordinance declaring tho necessity of constructing such a viaduct failed of passage, aud at the adjourncd meet. ing of the council on Thursday night a motion to reconsider the vote by which theordinance was rojested was also lost. Last night Mr. Munro movea that the matter be reconsid- ered, and President Davis ruled bim out of order, Mr. Elsasser tried a new plan and was suc- cesstul. Ho moved that the council rules be suspended. On the vote to do this Mr. Prince explainea his vote. He said that the Six- teenth street viaduot was inadequate to tho demands of public traffic but that if a via- duct waus built on Fifteenth street the prop- erty owners on Sixteenth would lose the benefits for which they had paid. He further claimed that the city had a contract with the railway companies by which Fif- teenth street was permanently ciosed and an attempt to build a viaduct would involve the city in a lawsuit, with the probable result that neitner Fitteenth nor Sixteenth street would get a viaduct. Ho voted no. Mr. Steel explained that he had voted against the ordinance originally because he thought the contract with the railway com- panies would prevent the construction of the viaduct. Since the citizens had exprossed a willingness to take chances on that issue he would support the ordinance. The motion to suspend ths rules carried by the following vote: Aves—Back, Burdish, Conway, Edwards, asser, Howell, Jacobsen, Lowry, Munro, ht, Steel and Tuttlo—12. Nays--Bechel, Bruner, Chaffee, McLoaric, Prince ana President Davis—6. By the same vote the ordinance was recon- sidored and placed upon its passago. Mr. Chaffes wanted to know whether the oity attorney had examined the contract be tween the city and the railway companies. He wunted to know whether the city had a right to take the action contemplated in the ordinance, IMr. Connell replied that he had examined the contract in question. e was of the opinion that the oity could require the rail- ways to construct the viaduct, notwithstand- in tho contract. He thought the coutract only provented the city from using tho sur- faco of the street and did not relievo the rail- way companies of the city’s authority to order the construction of a viaduct over tho tracks. “I would like to have the city attorney furnish the council that opinion in writing,” said Mr, Chaffoe. I will gladly do so at any time,” repiied M. Connell. i The ordinance was then passed by a vote of 12 to 6, the members voting as they did on the motion to suspend the rules. Wil Not Mako Specifications. Mayor Bemis returned without his ap- proval the ordinance taking from the Board of Public Works the duty and respousibility of making paving ana other specifications for public works, The muyor considered the proposed ordinance A mistake. *‘I'nhe result will be that coun- cilmen will be personally importuned by con- tractors who ars desirous of subserving their own interest,” wrote the mayor, “to modify spovifications'ana make changes that will ultimately result in serious loss and injury to the city. This will boe embarrassing to councilmen und injurious to the city. It is fairto presume that the members of the Board of Public Works and the city en- gineer, who are devoting their entire time to public'works, are bost informed as to what the specifications for pu works should be, It is unwise in my judgment aud contrary Lo the provisions of the chartor to make any change in the existing ordinance.’ Mr. Chaffee favored tho ordinance. He said he voted for it, not to antagonize the Board of Public Works, but simply because he thought the ten years’ guaranty would result in an increased burden of taxation. as the contractors would demand more monev for work under a ten years' guaranty instead of & five years' guaranty. City Engineer Rosewater was called upon, and defendod the proposea specifications of tho Board of Public Works. Hoe explaiaed that under the present systom the city was paying 5 cents por yard for ropairing asphalt pavement. On 200,000 square yards of pave- went the amount for repairs for the vear would be $16,000. For street sweeping $15,- 000 must be expended. For this total of #31,000 the city has a half a mill levy, or about $10,000, a shortage of $21,000. " Mr. TRosewater explained at length the advantage of the ten-year guaranty. On the motion to pass the ordinance over the mayor's veto the vote was as follows: ‘Ayes--Bechol, Buraish, Chaffee, Conway. Edwards, Specht, Steeland Mr. President--8 Nays—Back, Elsasser, Howell, Jacobsen, Lowry, McLearie, Munro, Prince and Tut- tle—-0. ‘The veto was sustained. City Attornoy Connell reported that S, S, Curtis had failed to make the deed of his proverty at Eightoouth and Harnev for en- gino house burposes, as had been agreed upon. Referred to the committee upon pub- lic property and buildings. The request of the Board of Health for the repeul of the ordinance closing the dumps cn Sunday was referred to tho committee o, police. The comptroller reported in favor of awarding tho contract for-printing the an- nual reports of the city officials and the mes- sages of the mayor to Klopp, Bartlett & Co. for §i50.60. Approved. City Hall Contracts, Bids for dolag the marble work snd finish- ing the rotunda of the city hall were as fol- lows : Pichel Marble und Granite company, St, Louis, marble work, $7,857; Charles A, vey, Omaha, marble and granite work, $11,- 075; John K. Coots, work complete, §15,057: referred to commitiee on public property aud buildings, Bids for sidewalk construction around the city hall were utona«l and referred to the committee on public property ana buildings. Contractor Coots reported that the offices in the city hall were almost ready for oc- cupancy, =~ Work on the elevators and the furniture alone remained to be completed. He presented a bill of §655.50 for his share of the cost of heating the building during the last sixty days. The heating arrangement was ordeced continued until the work on the elevators is completed, Mr. Chaffoe offered the suggestion that it Was Wrong to compel the city to wait upon the furniture and vault men for the comple- tion of the city ball. Mvr. Specht stated that in drawing the con- tracts Mr. Poppleton, the former city attor. ney, had failed to fix any time for the furni- ture to be ready for the city hall. ‘The motion was referred to the city attor- ney.

The committee on public property snd buildings reported in favor of awarding the contract for furnishing gas fixtures, etc., to the De Kosiuko & Hetherington compauy and Russell, Pratt & Co. for $13,577. Messrs. Lowry and Eisasser warmly op- posed the report on Lhe ground thal the price named was exorbitant. Chairman KEdwards of the cowmmittee ox- plaiued that the commitles Lad takeu the was Kb only two bids that were anything at all in rango of the price the r;u should pay and had taken the parts of the two bids that were lowest and best'$tiited tor the work. Ohnrges Wndl Denials, Mr. Lowry made “fhe charge that the matters of the council were run by two ring eleven men who meet weekly and decide upon hiow business of the city should be con- ducted. Mr, Chaffeo denied the accusation and Mr. Becnol stated that such charges as that made by Mr. Lowry were bringing the city into sad repute and Were making contractors afraid to bid on work, for the city, as bids were always jugeled and bandied about and then reconsidered atd readvertised, Mr. McLoarie suwested that Mr. Lowry ought to take his medicine, oveu it it did come in allopathio doses, such as ho had help administer to the wminority in other vears, The report of the committee was finaily ro- forred to the committes of the whole and will be considered at u special meeting to be held this ovening. The vapers in connection with the proposed change of the grade of Hamilton street from Twenty-fourth to Lowe avenne were taken from the fiie and referred to the committee on grades and grading.

A small but select coterie occupied the dock in the police court yesterday morning. There ''was just an even dozen, including ““fwo ladies, shady in both complexion“and reputation and anumber of animals with heavy bull-dog Jaws, scowliug brows/and good clothes, I'he courtofticer pointed to the galaxy as a sufli- elent answor to the song that the police force never caught anything. There was Gert McGoy, sent from Omaha to the reform school, aud known all over the country as an all rouhd thief; held once in Sioux Civy forsaféhlowing,for eight months, whon'a “‘pal”’ proved-an alibi;-served eight months for the same crime in Butte City, Mont., repeatedly sent to the county jail and driven from the ety by the Omaha police court. Jimmy Dunu Is tho partioular friend of the notorious woman, Kansas City Liz; has been arrestea in Omaha for highway robbery: for suatching §0 from a stranger in a wino room, and in Council Bluffs for the burglary of a hardware store. Dick Grandon is a thief by profession and has been many tmes driven from the cily or committed to the county jail tor larceny. Steve Daley was once arrested for the bur- glary of Murpuy & Cumming’s saloon. The scolen goods were found in his possession, but the proprietors refused to prosecute. He some time 8go snatched an armful of cloth- ing from the table of a clotbing house, and when the proprietor remonstrated promotly knocked him down. Ho also knows all about the county juil, Mike Kerns has earned the enviable repu- tation of a *‘strong armed man.” Ho has served time for highway robbory, soveral terms for larceny and is not allowed to run atlarge in the city. He has a brotherin South Omaha who "has at times purchased uckets for him and tried to have bim make a new start in Chicago or elsewhere. The tickots have been sold and the money spent for whisky. Henry Sanders is a professional thief. His latest exploit was at the residence of Mrs. Schrausth, 1325 South Thirteenth street Monday. While the lady was sien- ing some sort of a lottery ticket or policy which he bad sold Ler Sanders calmly appro- priated a watch and some finger rings. Lee Mill is an all-round colored tough and hanger-on about the burnt district. Ho has been driven out of town time and again. W. E. Davis is an Omaha product who graduated from tho reform school some time ago. He was arrested yosterday for emboz- zlement as a collector, T. W. Teagarden, alias Wilson, with his bald head, enormous mustache and fur trimmed overcoat, looks liko a K'rench danc- ing master. He is the father of two protty children and the husband of a good-looking woman. Iu bis wife he saw a source of revenue and forced her to enter upon a life of shame on Ninth strest. She has since thrown bhim overboard to swim for himsell and he 1s believed to be still making bis hy- iog fn this disgraceful traffic. Bd. Stroug is & big, nusky, bullet-headed loafer, who wanted to be ‘excused for his vagrancy because bis wife committed sui- cide. “I don't blame her for committing anything if she was married toyou,” suapped the judge. *‘She was a colored woman,” in- terjoctod Sergeant Ormsby, *‘and she took morphine because her lover wect back on her. Strong wasn’t in the game." “This gang, with a few others who aro in here occasionally,” wemarked an officer, *‘could account for uearly every case of law- breakiug reported, byt wo Bave no proof.

LS A Visit to Bouge School, A Bee reporter afopped into the Dodge school for a few miffiftes the other day and was shown through the rooms by the prinel- pal, Miss Mary Fitaty; The old building is a dingy affair, badly veutilated and its halls aud cloak rooms are ail dark aud ugly in ap- ronr:nu. but the pupils are brigut, cheer- ul and well behaved and the teachers eficient and attentive, No notice was given 10 a singlo teacher of tho appronch of & vis- itor aud each room was cutered without warning. The discipline appeared Lo be ex- ceptional and the presonco of u stranger iu no way embarrassed Lhe little folks. All colors, nationalities and conditions ropresented in the Dodge school, whick, as most readers of Tk Bre know, i3 located in a section of the cily bearing & hard name.

OMAHA DAILY BEE~WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 18 SETTLED BEYOND QUESTION Boyd-Thayer Mandate Prosented to the State Supreme Court. NO GROUNDS FOR CONTEST REMAIN ie Legal Views of the Situation nt Costs Also e Order Was Not Recel An Judg- Why 1 at rlier Date, Laxcory, Neb., Maroh 13, —[Special to Tu B The long expected mandate from the supreme court of the United States to the supreme court of Nebraska in relation to tho recont decision of the former oourt in the Boyd-Thayer case made its appearance this forenoon. When the supreme court met this morning General Cowin, one of Governor Boyd’s attorneys, presented the maudate and made the usual motion that judgment be entered accordingly. Chief Justice Maxwell glanced inquiringly around the chamber and asked if any legal reprosentative of General ‘Chayer was prosent. No one came forward to assort a claim to that title and the man- date was laid aside. 1t will be taken under deration by the judges. Tho following is a copy of tho mandate: ) STATES OF AMERICA, 85.

Fuller, chief justice of suid upremo court, the first dny of March, in the yearof our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninoty-two. JAMES H. MCRENNEY, Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States. L nl Views ot the Mandate. By most of the attorneys present at the reading of the mandate the document is con- sidered as somewhat vague1n its expression Tlres attorneys whose names would be r ognized s some of the most prominent in Nebraska legal circles, concurred in the opinion that the mandaté simply directs tho Nobraska court to reverse its judgment in sustainisg tho demurrer fited by Governor Thayer and to taka further proceedings in conformity of law and the opinion of the su nreme court of the United States. Tuking the opinion of the latter court the three gen- tlemen were also unauimously of the opinion that the opinion of the federal court simply overrules the Nebraska court’s action in sus- taining the demurrer and does not affect the question of Governor Boyd's citizenship. In otber words, the way Is open for General Thayer's attornoys to file a reply to Gov- ernor Boyd's answer and thus compel the latter to prove his citizenship to tho satisfac- tion of the Nebraska court. There are no indications today that the case will ever be reopened. ‘I'ne attorneys who have heretofore advised General Thayer will hardly care to continue a bootloss dis- cussion and it is doubtful whether other men care to enter upon & case that will be profitiess. Thayer's Attorneys Had the Mandate, It transpives today that the attorneys who have had charge of the case for Goveruor Boyd have boen subjected to a great deal of unmerited criticism from the friends of Gen- eral Thayer. The latter have not hesitated to declare that the mandate having been banded to General Garland something over two weeks ago, has been deliberately sup- pressed for sinister motives. It now trans- pires that General Thayer's attorneys have been in possession of the mandate since the 7th of the present month, A copy of the document was delivered to them on that date and they wero notified to appear in Lin- coln toaay, Thoeir absence in the face of such mnotification will afford but little en couragement to those who have been insist- ing 50 vociferously that the caso bereopened. Started on 1ts Loug Voyage, Governor Boyd this afternoon received a tolegram from Comwissionoy 1dgar, who iy Nebraska's representative to Russia to supor- intond tho distribution of the corn donated by the peoplo of this state to the famishing pooplo of that nation, that the steamer Mis- souri sailed from the port of New York today with the cnrgo of Nebraska corn meal on board.
