Seunator Hoar, who isa member of both the commitiee on judiclary and the commit- tee on privileges and elections, and who, umder the last regime, was cosirman first the y ¢ of the slections committee and then fary, contenda that'the bill should have o, the fivat naie | committ primarily 1o sceur that ve should have (*now desnits the revort of tae | ndiciar sommittes.

Senator Hoar contends that all questions relating to clecsions of any character which some 1o the senate belong proverly to the mittee on privileges and elections, and when Senator Hill asserted that the original elections lnw which it is now sou peal was passed the bill was referred to the judiciary. Senator Hoar retorted that it was because the elections committee had not been created Senator Hill, the author of the present bill, is & member of the judiciary committee and not of the eiections, which may account for his desire to have the bill go to that com mittee. The democratic members of the Judiciary committee say that 1if the republi- can members were not_present at the right time the fault was not theirs and they re- gard this as an invalid excuse for criticising their action, SENATOR H1 S BILL.

Benjamin Des Passos is a recognized authority today in this conntry in questions of collateral inneritance. It was natural that Senator Hill should confer with Mr. Des Passos while preparing his bill and as a matter of fact the bill as published and shortly to be presented to congress is the product of Mr. Des Passos. OF MUCH IMPORTANOE, Admiral Gama's Desertion Means Much to the Brazillan Republi WasHINGTON, Dec. 11.—The y depart- ment on Sunday received the following dis- patch from Commander Pickings at Rio: *The Brazilian government has- requested consuls to warn vessels to move from their present anchorages, and has drawn a line inside of which 1t is dangerous to venture. This prevents the discharge of cargoes at wharves.” This is interpreted to mean that the an- chorage and the wharves have come with the line of fire of the forts and Mello's ship: and it is not safe to come within that line. It is not known how for tt is may interfera with the commerce of Rio. There is some questiou as to the proper translation as to the word given as wharves. As given it seems to include by implication all the land- ing facilities of the city. The Navy art- mwent is left in the dark as to the purpose of the order, 1t may be, it is suggested, that the erection of & new battery is contem- plated, which would make the present auchorage dangerous. The Brazilian revolution has assumed a new aund much more serious uspect by the declaration of Admiral de Gama in favor of the revolution and a restoration of the cm- Miuister Mendonca of Brazil, who has n most active in assisting the Peixuto government, does not seow 1o belittle the lousness of De Gama's defection. know Gama personally .and most inti- mautely," saio the minister, “and I realize he gives the rebels a very great power and prestige which they have never before had., Although he 18 a rear admiral or the same rank as Mello, yet De Guwa is recognized as the most popular and able wan in the navy. The entire nuvy is likely to follow De Gama, for he has a controlling Influence over most of tne ofticers of the mavy, and those who would rot fotlow him through respect would do s0 in fear of him." Senor Mendonea said De Gawa's defection in favor of restoring the empire would prob- ably stimulate the exiled relics of the old empire to contribute largely toward the restoration The pretender is related to some of the oldest and wealthiest noble houses i Europe," said he. *They will probably cowo followed with monoy to supply food and ammunition for the naval forces of De Gama and Mello. ‘T'here is a ‘colony of old Brazilian imperialists at Paris and auother in Portugal. The Iiourbons of Spain are also related to the pretender. 1 bave little doubt that Adwmiral de Gama had assurance in advance from these sources before he declared for the empire.

HI3S VIEN OF THE LAW AS 1T STAND3 Constitutional Provisions for the Protection of the Peopie’s Rights Ignored by the Corporations, Who Ars Up: Held by the Courts, cory, Dec. 11.—[Special to Tie Bug.]— Chief Justive Maxwell has filed his dissent- ing opinion in the celebrated case 1n which the state endeavored to revoke the charter of the Atchison & Nebraska Raiirond com- pany because of its consolidation with the B. & M. While the opinion of the chief jus- tice was not adopted by a majority of the court, it will stand a8 probably the last of his many doecisions and opinions upon 1m- portant questions, involving the rights of the people of Nebraska in contra-distinction to the encroachments of the corporate powers. For this reason, the main points of Judge Maxwell's dissenting opinion are worthy of reproduction. In concluding his opinion the chief justice pointedly exclaims that the time will come when the majority of the court will hold to his oninion. The chief justice briefly reviews the former decisions in this case, in which it was unanimously held that the Atchison & Nebraska did not form a continuous line with the B, & M. railroad, and’ was not within the provisions of the statute author- izing the making of a lease, and that such lease was unauthorized Then, continu- ing, he sa “The powers of a corporation organized under legislative statutes are such and only such as the statates confer, The charter of a corporation 1s tho measure of its powers, and the enumeration of these powers implies the exclusion of all others. Where a rail- road company, wlnlhnu‘ authority of law, leases its road to another railway company with all its rights, vroperty and franchises for a long period of time, it thereby abau- dons the operation of its roads and is subject to forfeiture. “Section 8, article xi of the constitution prohibits any railvoad corporation from con- solidating its stock, property, franchises or earnings, 1 whole or in part, with any other railroad corporation owning a parailel or compéting line. One of the ob this provision is to enable the public to ascertain the actual cost of euch railway in the state and to enable the legislature to pass just laws fixing an equitable rate of taxation and for the transpor nof por- sons and proverty, so that justice may be dono alike to the railway company, the public and e individuals. Things theCommissioners Overlooked. “Many of these points ave not referred to the opinion of the commissioners. Section article xi of the coustitution probibits any railw: company from consolidating its stock, property, franchises or earnings, in whole or in part, with any other railroad corporation owning a paraliel or competing line. It is admitted in the opinion that “within ten milesof Lincoln the B. & M. line and thac of the defendant were so near each other as to serve on regular equal terms some of the traflic destined to Lincoln, but vith this exception these lines wero not competing. and the above exception did not render them, within the meaning and effect of the provisions of the constitu- tion of 1875, prohibiting the cousolidation of railroad corporations owmning parallel and competing lines.’ *It will be otserved that it is admitted in the opinion in effect that at Lincoln and within ten miles thereof that the defendant road and the 1, & M. were competing lines. 1t we take ten miles square in every direction from Lincoln we wiil (have 400 square miles of territory, which at the preseut time con- tains more than 50,000 people. This territory is sufticient to form a county, and is the mini- mum number of miles fixed by the constitu- tion for that purpose. Yet the fact that the defendant is a competing road with the B, & M. is spoken of as though it was a trifling matter, notwithstanding the language of the constitution that there shall be no consolida- tion either mn the stock, property, franchise or earnings or any part thereof with any other parallel or competing line. *“The object of the constitutional conven- tion was to prevent one or two corporations from purchasing paraliel or competing lines, and thus prevent competition. The defend- ant, if disconnected with the B. & M., is a competing line for business in the territory named, and migit, perhaps, by carrying for lower rates thau the B. & M., benefit every resident of the city of Liucoln and the terri- tory adjacent, and thus induce new enter- prises and promote the prosperity, not only of the city, but of the state, “It is a well known fact also that the road was originally planned to extend to Columbus and there form a _competing line with the Union Pacitic railroad, and the records of this court show that the residents of Platte county donated $100,000 of county bonds to that road, presumably to obtain a competing in line. The majority opinion would aliow the B. & M. to purchase_the Union Pacific rail- way as a competing line. Other Communities Interested. “It is well known also that the defeudant line crosses the B. & M. line at Seward and would be a competing line there. If compe- tition could affect the rates of transportation for ten myiles on each side of Lancoln it would do the same for Columbus, Seward snd Te- cumseh. Thus, if Liocoln, by reason of re- duced rates, was enabled to pay an increased price for corn or stoc& or to sell goods at a lower rate thun without such competition, the same benefit would accrue to Tecumseh, Seward and Columbus and other towns along the line of the defendaut road and at- tention being callea to these lower rates would cause a reduction of rates on other lines in the state. ~But 1t is &« narrow view of the law to limit the benetits to be derived from competition to tho cities named. The defendant road cross- ng or connecting as it does every important line but one in the state would, if permitted to remain as when constructed, sn open and competing line, would greatly benefit the p«mlllc of the entire state, “Iam very confident also that this court has no power of admitting that the defend- ant is a competing line at the most Impor- tant point on the road, as is doue in the opiion in this case, to declare that such competition is not prohivited by the constitu- tion. There stands the constitutional pro- vision, like u wall of veck, prohibiting such consolidation or any consolidation in such cases. Strooger language could not be used, It isnot in the vower of Lhis court, therefore, to d re the consolidation’in this case valid and the time will come when the mufnrity opinion will be heli to be clearly in violation of the provisions of the constitution, ' Gossip at the Stute Hou The case of the Geneva National bank aguinst Silas Bailor et al was flled with the clerk of the supreme court Loaay.

August Gothmun's Stayer Will Be Hung March 23, 1804, I*REMONT, Dec. 11. ~[Special to T Bee.]— In the district court this morning Judge Marshali orderod the sheriff to have the coudemned prisoner. Charles Carleton, brought before him that sentence might be pronounced according, to the verdict ren- dered. The prisoner appeared with his same firm, elastic step and unconcerned a pearance that has characterized him during | the whole * o oFd@Al, - He was clean shaven and his makeup was scrupulously neat, but those who huve observed him closely remarked that his appearance de- noted that he had undergoue a great mental strain and looked somewhet emaciated and careworn, His attorney ook a seat beside the prisoner. ‘'hie judge, in a voice that trembled, pro- nounced sentence thus: **You have, i the case of the state of Nebrasku against you been prosecuted on the charge of murdering August Gothman and have been found guilty of murder 1n the first degree. Have you anything to say why judgment should not be pronounced?” Carleton arose and, without the movement of a muscle in fear or trepidation, replied: “All L have to say is I aum innocent and I have not had a fair trial ana it is an unjust conviction.” “Of course I have nothing to ao with that,” rephied the judge, “'we have to be governed by the verdict. ~Mr. Carleton, your serrtence is that you, Charles Carleton, defendant, be placed in solitary confinement in the jail of Dodge county until the 23d day of March, 1594, and on that day between the hours of 10 o’clock and 4 o'clock in the after- noon you shall be taken by the sheriff to the place of execution and there be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and that you shall pay the costs of this prosecution, tor which execution shall be awarded, That is all, Mr. Carleton.” Carleton then turned, and, with a broad smile upon his face, engaged in conversation with his attorney. When being taken back to the jail he founa fault with the sentence of solitary confinement and protested to the sheriff that he would not try to escape if the doors were thrown open. He was in- formed that the orders of the court would have to be strictly obeyed. heriff says vhat Carleton now begins to consider the gravity of the offense of which he stands convicted and that his buoyant confidence his ultimate acquittal has in a moeasure d serted him. From the first he has been en- tively confident that he would not be soverely punished. At the time of his trial he was so certain of a verdict of not guilty that he had a hack engaged and standing near the court house to take him home as soon as the verdict was announced, and the some confidence has characterized him until after ho was refused a new trial. He now protests that he never will be hung, regard less of the sentence, SCOTT WILL STAY L “IAL Injunction Agalust the County Court's In- terference Made Ferm nt, O'Nenr, Neb., Dec. 11.—[Special Tele- gram to ‘l'ur Bee.|—The injunction case to restrain County Judge Bowen from approv- ing Buarrett Scott’s bail bond, which was set for today, came up for heaving this worn- ing with both Judges Kipkaid and Bartow on the bench.
