IT REQUIRED SHREWD WORK $ow Judge Woods' Friends Managed to De- feat Democratic Plans, INSTANCES RECALLED OTHER SIMILAR Kothing In a Close Vote to Reflect Upon the Integrity of Those Whose Nominations Are Belng Considered ~Wash- ington Miscellany, Wasmisaros Burgsv or Tie E 518 FOURTEENTII STRERT, d WasiiNoToN, b, C., March 18, ) The aftermath of the Judge Woods case floatea around the corridors of the capitol to day quite freely wherever two or three sen ators wero congregated, nnd some interest {ng incidents were related in connection with the loud and at times exciting secret session hich resulted late yesterday afternoon in he confirmation of the Indiana circuit judge. The confirmation or defeat of the nomination was for somo fifteen or twenty minutes in the nands of two or three individuals, es- pecially Souator Manderson, president pro mpore of the senate, who has for some ays occupied the presiding officer’s chair in the absence of Vice President Morton, and + Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota, who bad chargo of the republican pairs. Had Senutor Manderson, atany time after the forty-fourth vote, & majority of the icnnu, wus recorded and before the decisive E, ote was reached, announced the result as e could have done, the nomination would ave been rejected. For somo minutes the lemocrats were sure of success in their own minds and showed high feather. Exoitemeut ran high vehind the closed doors. “I'he dem- crats objected to keeping tho roll call open Sn long after a majority of the senate was zacnrdod, which was being done simply in rder that the republican majority might be on record or accounted, but Senator Mander- #0n satin the vico presidont’s chair and had the call continued until finally the tie vote of 24 to 24 was reached. Ho, as president pro tempore of the senato, asked to have his own name calied, the Democrats Drew O This gavo the republicans a bare majority then and nottill then it became apparent to Senators Voorhees aud Turple, who wero running tho opposition, that defeat of con- firmation was impossiblo because they had voted every democrat or announced his pair againsy confirmation, includiog the alliance demoocratic senators, and they throw up tho sponge. Senator Manderson had saved the fight for the republican: A corrected list of the republicans absent without a pair was made out today by those haying the pairs in chargo, aud tliey reported Senators Stewart of Nevada, Pottigrew of South Dakota and Perkins of Kansas, as the only absentees un- accounted for. The latter twn would have voted for con- firmation had they been vrosent, and were absent through a misunderstanding as to tho hour when the vote would be taken. The first namea was indifferent. Similar Incldents Res d. Judge Woods will not feel so badly over his narrow escape when he learns that at least three distinguished members of tho supreme court of the United States wero confirmed by the smallest possible margin and ono was actually defeated, although sub- sequently confirmed. Both Chief Justice ‘Waite of Obio and Associate Justice Harlan of Kentucky were confirmed by a scratch—a majority of one each. " Justice Stanley Matthews of Ohlo was nominated by President Hayes at a time when Allen G. Thurman of Ohio was chair- man of the committes on judiciary. When Mr. Thurman reported the nomination to the exocutive session of the senate from commit- too, Senator Edmunds led an opposition that was participated in by both republicans and democrats. The result was a posiuve vote against confirmation, When the result was announyed Mr. Thurman arose and asked as a personal favor to himself that the customary official return to the president of the action upon the nomination be withheld. The re- quest was granted and the register at the exccutive mansion does not show that Mr. Matthews’ nominauion was rejected by tho senato. ‘When President Garfield was inasugurated he renewed the nomination of Justice Mat- thews and then the nomination was con- firmed by the narrowest possible margin, Justice Matthews lived to vindicate himself from every charge brought against him. At his death Senator Edmunds appeared before the bar of the supreme court and was his principai eulogist. He said that Mr, Mat- thows’ services had negatived every oharge brought aganst him at the time of the action by tho senate and that he himself bad been mistaken. Improving the Mall Service, Postmaster Clarkson of Omaha appeared ‘before the house committee on postofiices and troads today at the request of the commit- ety suggestion Of the postmaster eneral and prosented, in the forms of some ills and resolutions, the result of the delib- erations of the postmasters of the various olities of the country who have been in ses- fon here for several days.

In your ondorsement on this letier you refer to the timeo this matter has been pending and urge parly action. The state in 1500 presented two lists of school indemnity selections, ag Rregating over 41,000 acres, oue of which was filed at the Valentine ofiice and the 2 othor at the Chadron office. These lists wero - sent 1o this office for instructions and it was coucluded here that a thorough investiga- tion of the entire graut in order to ascertain the validity of the basis of selection used,the existence of the losses of, or deficiencies in sonool lands should be wade. The work has mgmued s0 far that the valiaity of the 0s is approximately deternuned. Some of them have been found invalid for various roasons and the lists not being arranged in respect of bases and selected tracts, in av- cordunce with fustruotions, 1 have con- cluded to require the state suthorities to make uew lsts, elimiuatiog in- valid bases aud & sufticient number of selected tracts to make the sreas of the soloocted Lraots and aeficits balunce and fiie them al the prover district land offices for Soceplance sud transmission o this oftice. In the meanwhile the seleoted tracts gener- ally will be held from eutry, as many of them may be properly embraced in the new lists, A reasonable time, ninety days, will be allowed tho state to file the new lists' aud should this be dono then, upon receipt of them here, the remainder of the lands will be treated as not embraccd in the claim for achool indemnity sud directions will be given accordiagly.

IT WILL BE PR.[SEMED NEXT TUESDAY Views of Republicans and Democrats on the 1 t Pha th versy—Theory W Will Be Revive Contro- ‘h it ot Lixcory, Nob,, March 18.— [Special to Tie Isre. |~ General Thayer will on nextTu ask pormission of the supremé court to re open the ola contest case botween hunself and Governor Boyd. His atworneys will base their areument on the theory that tho United States supreme court's decision merely overruled the demurrer of Governor Thayer to Governor Boyd's answer, thero fore it is only necessary for a reply to be filed to Boya’s answer, which averred upon the information and belief that Joseph Boyd, father of J. E. Boyd, had completed his naturafization in 1854, at the time when J. E. Boyd was a minor, and alleging further that James E. Bovd had for many years been a citizen of the United States within the meaning of the law and acts of congroess. The statement that Judge RReese will ap- pear in the matter, however, is a little pre- mature. To Tur Brr representative this morning Judgo Reeso stated that he had not been retained by General Thayer, the pub- lished statements to the contrary notwith- stunding. When ho had been spoken to in regard to tho matter some days ago he re- vlied that the duties of bis profession re- quired ail his parsonal attention and that he would have no time to devote to the contest betweon Thayer and Boyd. It may be said, however, that the judge's name will appear on the papers as an attorney in the case, in spite of his denial that he has been retained. Democratie View of the Case. ““The leaders of the democratic party, in- cluding Governor Boyd and his near friends, are not worrying over the threatened reopen- ing of tho citizenship contest by General Thayer and his backers,” said a gentleman who is known to be friendly enough to the governor to 1msure the correctness of tho statement, to a BEE regorter this morning; “and,” he continued, ‘‘they would not mind seeing another attempt to oust Boyd, be- cause of the effect 1t would have in stirring up inaignation among the masses to the dam- ago of the republican party, bocause no re- openiug would be possible without the ofi- cial countenance of the supreme court. [ have talked with the governor and I know he views the throatened action as an attempt to keep his citizenship clouded, and thereby damage him should his party compel him to accept a renomination, but he has too much self-respect and too high a conception of the dignity of his position to engage in any vews- papor controversy upon the subject.” How a Republican Views the Matter. Many prominent republicans who doubt very much the political expediency of re- opening a case which has already given tho party so much apprehension do not_hesitate to assert their belief that General Thayer is perfectly right in his detormination to con- tiuue the proceedings in the supremo court, viewed from a strictly legal standpoint. Ono of them said this afternoon: ‘‘Governor Thayer is actuated by no spirit of personal interest 1n this matter. Even if ha should finally succoed in proving that Governor Boyd's claims to citizenship are not sufficient to entitle him to the office which he unow holds it is mnot likely that the supreme court, as at present constituted, will reinstate him (Thayer): but even if the court should hold that Thayer was entitled to bold over he would, i:znmediately upon as- suming the office, givé way to Lieutenant Governor Majors. General Thayer has gone to this matter only at the urgent solici- tation of many thoroughly disinterested oiti- zens throughout the state. He will simply do as he should have done & month ago— ush the case through to its completion, “’han he has done this, and when the supremo oourt of Nebraska has rondered a final decision in accordance with the some- what ambigious provisious of the recent de- cision of the United States suprome court, he will feel satisfied that he has performed his enuire duty.” Confessed Himself a Perjurer, The Missouri Pacific Railroad company today filea its auswer in the district court to the case brought by W. T. Sawyer to recover the sum of ,000 which the latter claimed was aue him on contract. The answer al- loges that Sawyer entered into a conspiracy with Gottleib " Wonninger to defraud the company in aun alleged damage case. By roason of the conspiracy Wenninger secured a verdict of $0,442 agalnst the company by tho introduction of perjured tostimony. Afterwards Sawyer, fearing that he was to bo deprived of tho share of the woney he was to receive. went to the attorneys of the Missouri Pacific and signed an afMdavit to the effect that he had committed perjury in the trial of the case. For makiog thisaffi- davit be recoived the sum of $100 from the company. Insurance Company Sued. J. D, Slusher today brought suit against the Phanix Fire Insurauce company of Brooklyn to recover the sum of §3,000, which he claims is due him on an insurance volicy. Henry Burcham was the owner of an_eleva- tor at Hickman which was destroyed by fire in Octover, 1891. He had a pn“o{ with the defendant company for 33,000 which he had proviously assigned to Slusher, The com- pany refused to pay the policy on the ground that the proof of loss was insufficicnt and on several other legal technicalities. ¥rom the Court Dockets.

Ea Growt the City, Accordiug to the recently issued directory for 1892, the population of South Omaha has incroased withi 'phienomenal rapidity duriog the past two years. The government census of 1800 gave the Magic City a population slightly exceeding 8,000 poople. ‘Ihe direc. tory contains the names of 4,770 individual residents, and it is the usual estimate that a directory covers about one-third of the en- tire population. According to that the in- habitants of tho city now aggrogate over 13,000, This would mean an increase of 5,000 in two years, or about 00 per cont. While such an increase appears romarkable it is not doubted by men who have been con- tinuous residents of the city. The develop- ment of the stock yards and packiug houses las resulted tn constant additions to their working force. Real estate men who have charge of the rental of houses say that the number of families who have moved into the town during the past two years is something unprecedonted in their experience. It is worthy of note that but few small cities could absorb such a number of people without o general business dopression as the result of an overstockeda labor market. But Sovuth Omaha has accepted this large addition to her citizenship ana nas found work and o home for every one. There could be no more convioecing argument in favor of the stability and enterprise of her business enterprises than this fact. In view of the large ad- ditional number of men who will be employed here whun the spring improvements are com- pleted it is generally belioved that it will not SALURDAY, MARCH 19, 1892 bo long before South Omaha’s population reachos the 15,000 mark.

DOMESTIC EXPORTS SHOW AN INCREASE Slight Tmy tions— Rep Data Sireet ements Shown In Many Sec- Other wall soStatement, rta trom Cities and i Review of Clearing M reet's New York, March 18.—K. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say: Storms, bad weather and bad roads have much re tarded trade during the past week, reducing the movement of grain and curtailing trado 1n many cities, but nevertheless roports in- dicate on the whole an improvement in the distribution of goods and a fairly sustained demand, in some branches increasing for manufactured products. There is no trouble anywhore about monoey, even at the south markots veing fairly suppliod, with a light but rather better demand, whilo at the west & more active demand is stiil mot by anample supply. While imports of merchandise show a largo increase over last year, for half of March 10.4 per cent, there also Appears an increase in domestic exports for two weeks of March of about 6 per cent. But vast sup- plies of some great staples have produced phenomenally low prices during the past week. Theso low prices causo not a little disheartenment in_some_branches of trade, although tho movement of products continues active. Reports from interior cities are gen- erally more cucouraging. Reports trom Trade Centers, At Boston a steady increaso is seen in the dry goods trade. Shipments of boots and shoes slightly exceed thoso of last year for the week. At Philadelphia excellent aistritution of dry goods is seen. At Pittsburg reports are of a poor demand for manufactured irou, but good trade in glass, At Cleveland trado improves and exceeds last year's, though pig iron aud ore are dull. At Cinciunati tho shoe wanufacturer is busy, but a strike has stopped the hurness and saddlery business, At Chicago excellent trade is seen in dry Zo0ds and shoes, though the clothing trade falls behind on account of tho weather, but the year’s trado exceeds that of last year. Receipts of wheat ave three times, of barley and dressed beef twice thoso of last year, and an increase of two-thirds 1s seon flour, a third in rye and cattle, and somo in- crease in butter, with slight decrease in hides and wool and a large decrease in hogs, cured meats and lard. At Milwaukeo jobbing trade equals last year's in spite of the bad roads. AL Omaba business s very good in all the ines. At'St. Paul and Minneupolis the jobbing trade was nover so active for the season, though wheat receints are reduced by the storm. At Kansas City trade is fairly satisfactory, and cattle receipts heavy at lower prices. At St. Louis wholesale distribution in all lines 1uch oxceeds last year's and collections are unusually ready, country merchants buy- ing not only goods but better qualitiss. At Louisville the weather retards business, but trade at Montgomery is fair: at Sav- vannah good trade with bright prospects and at New Orleans slightly improved, sugor being strong. though cotton declines with heavy receipts. Speculation in Breadstufts, Spoculation in breadstuffs has been de- pressed by the official report of wkeat in farmers’ hands, and on moderate sales, wheat has declined 37¢c: corn, 31;¢ and oats 2c. In pork products no chahge appears, nor in coffee, but o1l is 21c lower. In cotton a de- cline to 67c has been followed by & rocovery to 6.8lc, but receipts and exports for the woek both exceed last year's, In the great manufacturies there is a groat activity, espeoially iu cottons, though brint cloths and prints ‘move less rapidly, but the demand for export goods 1s larger. In woolons the makers of overcoatings and cloaking are bappy, and the movement of dress goods unusual for the season, while a stronger demand is sesn for the higher worsteds and a singular concentration of men’s wear demand upon cheviots. In knit goods the market favors buyevs, but carpets ara steady, with sales of pig iron at low figures contiune, some makers even contracting for such prices for tho whole of this year. The demand for bar iron is dull, but for plates a little bouter, though prices are aemoralized. The market for copper seems Lo indicate some ugroement and is stronger, but coal is dull.

Influences on the Street, While enduring one of these veriods in which speculation waits for developments, Wall street is apt to select some particular influence ou which to lay the charge of cans- ing delay. Last week, it will bo remem- berea, the uncertainty regarding the S Paul dividend was regarded as the reason for the market's action. This week, the Richmond Terminal reorganization played the same role. But while this transaction, which is certainly the largest of the kind that has over been attempted, must neces- sarily affect speculative interests until the plan” is either success ov o fail- ure, it is easy to exagrerate fits in- tluence on the general market. As 1t was, the uncertainty involved in waiting for the appoarance of the plan and for tho preliminary changes in the management of the company exerted an unsettling ivfluence, though Richmond Terminal showed some strength and advanced to 16Y{. The un- favorable recoption accorded to the plan on 1ts appearance, and the decline of tho stock to 143/, with corresponding losses in the pre- forred and the trust bonds, was, however, loss offective on the genoral market than might have been acticipated.

I treated with doctors in various parts of the country, but none of them could do me any good furthor than giving mo shor temporary relief.

I was slow in making up my mind to make such a radical chango 1n my trentmont as I knew a trial with tho Chinese doc- tor would bring mo, but I finally con - cluded to give him a trinl, so I called at his office with that intention. 1 tound the doctor a clover, entertaining gentio- man, thoroughiy posted on my condi- tion, and it took only a short timo to convince me thal he was the party L was 80 long in scarch of. He told me my case was curablo, and that ho could cure me, and prepared me a special troatment to suit my condition, and in two weeks | was =0 much hetter that I had the fullest contidence in the doctor’s ability and committed my caso to his treatment.
