CONTESTED ELECTION CASES Representatives in Oongress Spar Over Their Consideration by the House. REPUBLICANS SUCCESSFULLY FILIBUSTER They Prevent the Joy-O'Neill Case Being Brought Up—Report of Majority of the Committee 18 Unfavorable tu the Republican, WASHINGTON, March 22.—The house l‘-l‘lum'\l the entire day In filibustering over N the O'Nelll-Joy contested election case from the St. Louls district. The report of the committee is in favor of unseating Mr. Joy, Yopublican, and the republicans are doter- mined that this shall not be accomplished unless the democrats produce their own quorum. For five hours today they fill- Dbustered and kept the house deadlocked. The highest number of democratic votes cast during the day was 166, thirteen short of a quorum. An unsuccessful attempt was made to adjourn over Good Friday and tho struggle will be resumed tomorrow. On motion of Mr. Catchings of Mississippl Joint resolution was passed authorizing the secretary of the treasury to receive at the subtreasury in the city of New York from R. T. Wilson & Co. $6,740,000 to be placed to the credit of the Cherokee nation. Chairman Brown of Indiana, of the com- mitteo on elections, presented the report on the English-Hilborn contested election case, and Mr. Waugh of Indlana was given leave to file the views of the minority. Mr. Patterson then called up the con- tested election case of O'Neill against Joy, Eleventh Missouri district, and Mr. Waugh of Indiana promptly raised the question of ronsideration against it and tho filibuster- ng began. The republicans refused to vote and the quorum was broken, the vote resulting 169 to none—twenty short of a Jorum. A “vall of the house followed. The call feveloped the presence of 257 members. - The vote then recurred upon the question of con- sideration. The republicans repeated the!r tactics and feclined to answer their names. Again the femocrats failed to mus a quorum, al- though they polled 16 s, seven more than on the previous roll call. Mr. Patterson moved a call of the house, and pending that, Mr. Waugh moved to ad- journ. The motion to adjourn was lost by & vote of 24 to 157, Mr. Patterson withdrew the motion for a rall of the house and the vote recurred upon the question of consideration. Again the quorum failed, only 157 members appearing. Mr. Patterson moved a call of the house and_upon his motion Mr. Burrows forced & roll call. The call was ordered by a vo'e of 163 to 11, A quorum reappearing upon the call of the house, Mr. Patterson moved to dispense with further proceedings under the call, but Mr. Burrows compelled a roll call on the motion, Tho motion was carried and Mr. Van Voorhis of New York, moved that when the house adjourn today, it be to meet on Satur- day. Mr. Van Voorhis' motion was defeated and the vote again recurred on the question of consideration After the 11 call had been completed, Mr, Livingston of Georgia called attention to the fact that the gentleman from Maine (Reed) was In his seat and not excused and had re- fused to answer to his name. He demanded that be be brought before the bar of the house and required to vote or give his reasons for not doing so. Mr. Bailey of Texas, in the chair, declared there wus nothing in the rules requiring a member to appear at the bar of the house. Mr. Livingston then tried to shift his ground, claiming that the dignity of the Louse was involved ““The dignity of the house is in the keep- 1ug of the house,” replied the chalrman, ‘and it has not prescribed any metnod for forcing this rule.” “It is not a very large dignity,” inter- rupted Mr. Reed, amid laughter. Mr. Livingston fenced for some time with Mr. Bailey, but the latter ruled him out of order and then announced that the vote had resulted 150 to 1. Still no quorum. Thereupon Mr. Patterson moved a call ot the house and Mr. Waugh, pending that, moved an adjournment. The motion to adjourn was lost, and Mr. Van Voorhis then moved that when'the house adjourn today It be to meet on Monday next. Mr. Brown, chairman of the committee on elections, then gave up the contest. “It being apparent we can make no further progress today,” sald he, “I move the house now adjourn.” Accordingly, at 5:30 p. m., the house ad- Journed. PACIFIC RAILWAY DEBT. Action Nocessary by the Government— Chairman Rellly’s Opinion. WASHINGTON, March 22.—Conspicuous attention has been given the Pacific rallway question, owing to the numerous means suggested for the collection of the vast debts due the government from the various Paclfic roads. Concerning the subject Representative Reilly of Pennsylvania, chair- man of the house committee on Pacific rail- roads, sald today: “I regard this as one of the most im- portant questions before congress, not ex- cepting the tariff and finance. But the very importance of the question demands that it should be treated with deliberation. The amount involved is about $135,000,000 and the proper protection of the govern- ment and the collection of such a sum re- quires the most deliberate and careful action on the part of congress. The construction of these roads is undoubtedly one of the great achievements of the age, but with all its complicating environments, by way of leglslation and judicial decisions, it comes down to us as one of the war measures, the original legislation having been enacted dur- ing the exciting days of the war of the rebellion, and now that we are c ronted with the solution of this great problem, owing to the rapid approach of the matmr- ity of this enormous debt and the necessity for some legislation, the importance of the subject 13 at once apparent. But at the outset we are confronted with all these complications of laws and decisions, cover- ing a long period of years, and quite as complex and of as great magnitude as any question with which congress has had to deal with in recent years. “'We have arrived at a stage in the history of this transaction when legislation of some Ccharacter is absolutely nawessary, and pre vious legislation on the subject has been de- ferred, awaiting the approach of the matur- ity of this debt, when the situation and its necessities could be better understood and more wisely considered, The first Install- ment of the bonds issued by the government in ald of the construction of these roads falls due In January, 1895, and must be provided for during the next fiscal year. “As tho secretary of t treasury calls the attention of congress to it in his recent annual report, the whole debt will be matur- ing from that date during the next four years. The first installment of bonds amounts to $2,862,000. They are absolutely payable on the date of their maturity and hence the necessity for legislation in this respect. “The committee on Pacific rallroads, made up of some of the strongest men in the house, is giving the subject iis earnest con- sideration, and feels it its duty to frame and report some satisfactory legislation. Several bills bearing on the subject are before the committee. In considering these and all other measures, our only purpose is to pro- tect the interests of the government, and to that end the subject will be pressed to final action at the earliest possible day. But the magnitude and importance of the subject necessarily requires and demands the most careful and deliberate research and consid- eration. The committee expects to have hearings by all parties interested and exer- clse its most earnest efforts to arrive at a just solution of this great subject. What conclusion the committee may arrive at or the character of legislation it may determine to report It is yet too early to predict. One (hing Is certain, however, that the commit- tee fully appreclates the gravity of the r sponsibility Lmposed upon it and lntends to meet it fully with an eye to securing the lo protection of the government's | etc. IN THE Mr. Sherman Troubled Over a Story from Omaha About Counterfeiting. - WASHINGTON, March the purchase of a site for the new govern- rdo.

WANTED ~ THE FINDINGS ~ AMENDED Judge Kelly Insisted that the Secretarles Should Not Lose Sight of the Number of Connccting Switches His Company Maintains, LINCOLN, March 22.—(Speclal to The Bee.) —The:State Board of Transportation me: this afternoon to take up the case of the transfer switch at Schuyler, but at the request of the attorneys the matter was postponed for two weeks. The next hearing will be on April 5. Judge Kelly was at the meeting to represent the Union Pacific, while the Bur- lington was represented by J. W. Deweese. Judge Kelly asked the secretaries to make an addition to their findings so as to show that the Union Pacific already maintained transfer switches at Grand Island, Columbus, South Omaha and Omaha, and there was but one station between Columbus aud Schuyler. Secretary Dilworth stated that the finding could not be very well amended 5o as o show the point desired by Judge Kelly. He added that the evidence taken by the secretaries simply showed that there were connecting switches at the points named by Judge Kelly, but the main point of the transfer | law was the clause which prohibited roads from charging the sum of the two locals on freight so transferred from one ad to another, He was willing to make a finding as to the connecting switches, be- o he did no. belleve that would affect the merits of the Schuyler ca: Judge Kelly was hardly able to see the fine Qistinction between a transfer switch and a connecting switeh. ““The transfer switch carrles the rate ques- tion wiih it,” replied Secretary Dilworth, “If you will concede the rate we will call them transfer switches, Mr. Kelly was perfectly willing to call them connecting switches. The hoard will sit tomorrow to hear the objections, if any there are, to the findings of the secretaries recommending the con- struction of a transfer switch at O'Neill, SCORED THE ATTORNEYS. Attorneys D. G. Courtney and Jacob O penheimer were severely and publicly rop manded in open court by Judge Strode this forenoon. The case on trial was entitled P. Mears against Charle cker and ir volved a contract for digging Irrigating ditches in Red Willow county. Messrs. Courtney and Oppenheimer represented the plaintif. W the case was called Mr., Courtney commenced to read the petition, when he was stopped by Attorney Hall, wh represented the defendant. Mr. Hall had-a certified copy of the petition taken from the original by the clerk of the court some time ago and the two did not correspond. Judge Strode took both petitions and discovered by comparison that there was a marked differ- enco between the two. The clerk of the dis- trict court was called in and he soon demonstrated that the fault did not lie at his door. Judge Strode then stated that it was perfectly clear to him that the original petition had been withdrawn from the files without leave and some radical changes made In it without authority. Both Court ney and Oppenheimer denied any knowled of the transaction, but it soon develope that Oppenheimer had signed Courtney's ame to the petition and then acknowledged it as a notary. Judge Strode then pro- ceeded to roast the attorneys, Courtney and Oppenheimer, and as Judga Strode Is a man seldom moved to warmth of expression, his caustic comments upon their conduct were all the more noticeable. He ordered the case to proceed on the original petition, but Courtney arose and dismissed the case rather than try it upon the lssues therein stated. Afterwards he commenced the case anew, using his new and amended petition BROKE UP A BAD FAMILY Mrs, McNamara, the woman who had pros 1 tituted her two young daughters, was sent to the county jall. Her 17-year-old daughter was sent to the reform school for girls at Geneva, while the 13-year-old girl will be taken to the Milford home for medical treat- ment. Of the two men arrested with the outfit, Jack Bacon was sent to jail for thirty days and Henry Burke was discharged, but was immediately rearrested on the charge of a criminal assault on the youngest girl. Christian ladies of Lincoln have supplied the girls and a little S-year-old boy with neces- sary clothing. The boy will be sent to the reform school at Kearney. W. C. T. U.
