Paine, chairman of the special committee appointed to revise the constitu- tion, reported the results of the effort. > A number of important changes were made in the coustitution and some interesting dis- cussion took place. The tendency of ~ the Methodist church — towatd 'a more complete laity control was illustrated In a vigorous discussion that took place over sn amendment 10 admit the pastors of all charges as xlolo{mws to the state conven- tion. It was held by a number of the dele- gotes that the league was in dengor of boing ‘priestriaden” by allowing the preachers to do all tho talking and ‘‘resoluting” at the fstato conventions. On the other hand it as claimed that as the pastors were sup- hosed to know more than anybody else about he work of the league they ought to be Buembers of the state conventions. It was mnally decided to make all regularly Bloyed pastors and presiding elders ex-ofticio elogates to the state conventions. Each ague will beentitled to three lay delegates, hus giving the laymen a decided prepond- rance of power in the conventions, A spirited discussion arose over an effort aae to change the time of holding the state onvention from June to October. It was nally decided to permit the official board to ot the time for the stateconvention, but the bnvention must be held during the months May or June, Entertainment for Delegates. Rev. Frank Crane introduced a resolution make it the rule of the state league that I the local leagues should pro- de entertainment for their own dele- Ltes. He supported his motioh saying that the convention had become so rge that it had become a very serious mat- v as to how so Jarge a body of delegates A8 going to be entertained. He wanted t rden more evenly distributed. A number prominent delegates from the extreme bstern part of the state were very much pposed to this, because they d that d tes from the far west really bore the avy end of the burden in paying their rail- ad fare to and from the convention. It w. s0 stated that it would be detrimental to ho work of the state convention of the jague to have the delegates crowded into o hotels instead of having them enter- ined in the homes of citizens ‘The motion to provide for the payment of 1 oxpenses of delegates by the local leagues as completely snowed under when it came o o vote.

The usual resolution on the question of prohibition was also included in the list ana in addition to g opposed to the use of intoxicating uor and to the licenslug of the saloons, the was also 40 stana flrmly up against the use of tobacco as being a vile and demoralizing habit from which all professed Christians should refrain. Tn addition to thess there were severnl complimentary resolutions thanking the good people of Omaha, the railroad companies, the nowspapers and the oMcers of the league, Bishop Ninde and other prominent speakers for their assistance prior to and during the convention.

Commissioners Retuso to Reduce a Bank's Assessment—Petition for Macadan About the first thing that the county com- missioners did when they met yesterday aftornoon was to put County Attorney Kaley upon the rack.” Last July when the commis- sioners met as a board of equalization they assessed the National Bank of Commerce $70,343 upon its capital stock, or $40,000 more than was returned by Assessor Carpentor, the man who fixed the values in the Fourth ward of the city. This happened on July 14, the last day of the sitting of the Board of Equalization, and thebank protested, urging that the stock instead of being assessed against the bank, should have been assessed nst the individual sto -County Attorney Mahoney was con- sulted and after mature consideration of the subject advised that the assessment was legal and that it would stand the test if one should be mad Suit was brought and tho matter is now in the courts. Yesterday Mr. Kalek was on hand with a confession of judg- ment in which he asked that the commis- sioners throw off the $40,000 and accept the tax on the $30, the original amount re- turned by the assessor. Ivery member of the board expresse; at the attor- noy should maintain such a position without first testing the question in the courts. The upshot of the whole matter was that the communication of the attorney was handed over to a committee with instructions to submit to no scaling down of values until the court had decided that the assessment was illegal and void. The Douglas County Road Improvement association filed this protest against paving the county roads with stone and at the same time declaring in favor of macadam: We the undersigned herowith enter our firm protest against the proposition to pavo tho country roads of Douglas county with any form of stono blocks, Tho prices asked for the stono block pave- IENEATE 50 CHOFINOUS 45 10 GPPEAT L0 Us 1o be prohibitive, A stone block pavement on country roads will, in_our opinlon, be ruinous to horses und rulious to vehicles, we cannot seo that such a ¢ will be'much of un improvement onditions. t the only artificial surfacing ple for country roads is the surfacing hias stood the téstof a century in overy country of Europe and ‘in many parts of : Macadam, or its nent. mutorials that are known to be 'suitable, the Macadam or Telford system will prove by far the most sat- istactory construction that can be adopted Wo are informed that such wmaterials exist fn abundaut quantitios at no greater trans- portation distance than the proposed blocks.

Toreka, Kan,, June 8. —President Walters was here yesterday in consultation with the labor commissioner and other ofticials. Mr, Walters was one of the populist members of the last legislature, He said last night that the men were not striking for any recogni- tion as a labor organization, but against a 80 per cent reduction in wages. The miners, he said, were now paid 20 per cent less than the miners in the eastern states and their expenses were higher than in almost any other state. Their wages were 85 per cent lower tnan in Colorado. At Minden, Mo., only half a mile from the state line, and at other Missouri shafts not over 400 yards from Kansas mines, the miners were receiving the wages the Kansas miners were striking for. Lt yoar the men averaged only $1.05 for each working day in the year, and the companies proposed to reduce the average still lower. This meant starvation to the miners. He had no doubt that the miners would win in the end, because they were in the nght. Couldu't Get ® Quorum, The council was t0 have met yesterday afternoon to consider the ordinance giving to the Nebrasks Fuel and Gas company a fran- ohise to put in a fuel gas plant and cperate the same. A quorum was not secured and another meeting will not be held until Tues- day evening. HIGGINS' HUSTLE FOR BAIL (Oashier Dorsey's Assistant “in tho Onstody of the Marshal.” EFFORTS TO SHIELD THE YOUNG MAN Frank Dorsey Out of the Clty and No One Knows of His Whereabouts—Two Soldiers on Trial In the Federal Court. Elijah Higgins, the assistant cashier of the defunct Dorsey bank at Ponca is hustiing for a $,000 bond to guaran- tee his appoarance when wanted to answer to the charge of falsifying the books of the institution. Information as to what the outlook is around the office of the United States marshal fs scarcer than genuine Christian charity. It is stated that Cashier Frank Dor- sey, who was jointly Indicted with Higgins, s out of the state. Why or wherefor no one seoms to know, al- though there is a report to the effect that his wife was very ill and he started east with her about ten days ago. Inquiries as to what is being done in the matter elicit the stereo- ‘typed answer, “Don't know,” and the case in many of its features is a repetition of that in which Charles W. Mosher played the stellar role. It is atated that Higgins was innocently made a tool by one_higher in luthurfl{ than ho, and when Dorsey's responsibility is brought up, it is sought to shield him by the statement that he may not have profited by the falsifying of the books, and that unless he did thus personally profit his guilt is of a lessor degree and partakes of the nature of an offense rather than of a crime. Higgins expects to be able to furnish a bond, but that individual himself is kept out of sight, and no information is given out as to where ho is or what deputv is guarding him *in the custody of the marshal.” Didn't Try to Kill Him. Frederick Brown, a private from Fort Robinson, was brought in yesterday by a deputy United States marshal to be placed ou trial in the foderal court for attempting to kill a fellow soldier by the name of Warner, whose neck he iaid open with a razor, from _the spinal column to the windpipe, While coming in with the oficer ho casually remarked, *Wah, I didn’t try ter kill dat nigger, or I'd a-finishea 'im sho' nuff. I'sc a ’sperienced suhjun, 1 is, 'n 1 cud a took his head clean off 'f I'd wanted to. Yassah. Dat want no 'tempt to kill. Don't you bleeb it. Huh, I guess I know what ire gwine to happen’ wen 1 are ‘spired ter juggleate a razzer.” Testimony in & Murder Trial. The prosccution rested its case yesterday in federal court in the caseof the United States against Burwell Baxter, charged with the killing of Private West at Fort Nio- brara. The defendant was then placed on stand in his own defenso and repeated tory of his troublo with the deccased and what he knew of West's death. A legal battle was waged over tho admis- sion of tho ante-mortem statement of West, and it was finally rejected for the reason that there was nothing to show that at the time of making it tho deccased belioved that he was going to die. The case wiil not be submitted to the jury beforo Monday afternoon. ao sl The No. 9 Wheeler & Wilson with its ro- ary movement, is the lightest running nachine in_the market, and is unequalled for speed, durability y of work.

Tale of a Tar as to tho Real Identity of the Famous Claimant, Owmama, Juno 8.—To the Editor of Tur Ber: Ihad business in London in 1873-74 and was present at throo sessions of tho second Tichborne trial, which lasted somo- time over a hundred days, resulting in the conviction of the Claimant for perjury. The revival of interest in this celebrated case the past day or two, caused by the published cablegram to the effect that the fate of the true Sir Roger Tichborne has at last been learned to have been death from natural causes at Geelong, N. S. W., in 1854, brings tomind a remarkable explanation which was given while in London by a sailor Just arrived from Australia as to the identity of the claimant, and which has never yet ap- peared in print. 1 have occasionally in the past twenty yoars thought of writing out this seaman's story of his carly acquaintanco with the claimant in + Australia, always scemed to me as probably true, and not unlikely to solve the long kept mystery surrounding one of the most, if not itself the most, colebrated case i ry. 1 have frequently 3o 10 better place to publish this story than in the columns of Tnr BEE. One of the persons to whom I took letters of introduction when going to London was an eminent lawyer of that city, a bar- rister of Gray's Inn, who resided in Bayswater, a suburb in the West Eund. Anong his acquaintances was Dr. Ken- nealy, the leading counsel for the claimant, whom I once met coming out of his house. I was then a young man of 20 and had lodg- ings on the south side of the city. On the way to my friend’s house late one afternoon during the trial I found in the street, out- side the court room where tho trial was being held, the usual mob of people hustling to get a glimpse of the Claimant and the famous lawyers and witnesses in the case as they came out at the close of the scssion for the day. It was a hard crowd to pass throush, filling Westminster street and spreading into Parliament ‘st Tho scs- sian had not yet closed, but I could not wait. Travel av that point was for the hour en- tirely stopped. Kortunatoly, another man was going in the same direction as I wus, a thicl , sun-tanned, vigorous-looking man, who was' evidently determined to push his way through, and 1 gladly fell in and pushed behind him, much to his satisfaction, as well as my own. When we had got through the crowd, and he stopped to wipe - his bald front, he asked me to tell .bim the way to Paddington station. -~ where he had some luggage to look after, as he had just come in from sea, and my route to Bayswater lying past the station, my suggestion that he keep along with me seemed to sgive him much pleasure, so we struck across through the graveled walks of St. James’ park. “When I met you, my lad, T haa just come out from trying to have a talk with the at- torney general about that Tichborne claim- ant,” he said the moment we were started upon our tramp of some two or three miles, ““‘What can you know about the Claimany?" Lasked. “Knowed him in Australia these seven years. Used to bo mate to his brother,a sea captain,” he replied. Then ho told me in substance the following story. from which T omit only the larger part of the English seaman’s brogue: “Just come up from Falmouth today,” he wenton; ‘‘got into port only day before yesterday, and saw this here Claimant's pictures in a shop window and went in and bought one. I knowed him right at sight, both face and figure. Goirg after pretty big fishing he is, thinks [, when the stationer told me what they had his photographs in the win- dows for. So I took the picture over and showed it to my old captain’s widow (for I am captain of the ship now and always call on her when I'm ashoreé—a nice woman is the captain’s widow—always was), and she says that she knew about it, too, but didn’t want to interfore, though it made her cry to think of what a rascal her husband’s biggest brother was. But I told her I was going to let the government know just who he was and that they were mistaken in thinking that he was Arthur Orton, and so I camo up to London. But the attorney general won't hear to me, though they asked mea lot of questions and I am to see them again to- morrow.” “But where did you know the Claimant?" “In Australia, You see, our vessel sailed between Falmouth and ports in Australia, His oldest brother—there werp three of them—ywas captain and I was mate, When wo touched at a certain place in Australia this big, fat one, who is the Claimant, used to come aboard and stay for days visiting. On tho last visit there was a smaller ono with him. The big one, as we called him, dressed as a cattleman, with big boots and o whip, but the other one was swaller and more’ like & gentleman, and the captain's wife told me he had been in the army in Ireland. Isaw both of them '.odue' in court, looking as natural as life, only today the big one was dressed like a gentleman, t0o.” “That military man who was in the same regiment with the Tichborne heir in Ireland is the Claimant's strongest witness, and recognizes him not only by his looks, but by the Claimant's recollection of incidents which occurred during their army life to- gether," I said, g “So 'well ho might,” replied the honest tar, “for it is plain to me awd: his sister-in- law that he is the one that told those inci- dents to the Claimant. The tlme they came aboard together thoy locked 'themselves up with the captain till late into the night, and the captaip’s wife and I were wondering what they wero having so much sec about, And once 14 while they OBt LR fOF few minutes to walk up and down the deck, and then the captain would come and call me into the cabin und get dewn on his knees, and me with bim, and take s big drink of toddy, and then pray untif they would come again and I would get up aua go out 1 and his wife knowed a3 the captain was all worked up about something, because he was o pious man, was thé captain, and he would always g¢t drunk'and pray when ho wae in trouble, aud 'most alwiys would want we with him. But he never told his wi me what his trouble on that day wa we_ could oyerliear the sound of their voices and inferred that they were trying to gev him to agree to sometning as he was against. He was never the same man after that until he died, acting as if he had something on his conscience like. Ho didn't live many months. His wife says she is sure that on that day they persuaded him to give them money to baclk up the big one in the claim for the es- tate of the missing Sir Roger Tichborne. She and I think that the big brother, this claimant, was with young Sir Roger when he died, perhaps in Australia, and in that way learned of his family and his estates, and that when the army brother visited him they told their stories of Sir Roger to each other and so hit upon the thought of making this claim for his titie and property." The sallor added as we walked along tha he did not wonder that the Claimant and his army brother were acquainted with the \man s kuown by bis staudiog choler. ear & Cotton, High Art Photographers.
