Czolgo the assasein of President McKinley, srralgned before Judge Edward K. Emery in the county court at 3 o'clock this atter- noon on the indictment of murder in the first degree. Again the stubborn prisoner refused to plead or even to utter a word or sound, and the Hon. Loran L. Le ex-supreme court justice, entered a plea of not guilty. The accused will be tried in the supreme court next Monday morning Crowds flocked to the city hall today to see the prisoner and the most notable in- cident of the duy was the bissing of the prisoner by the crowds who surged around him as he was being escorted down the stairs, which were still draped in mours- ing garb. The strong guard of patrolmen and deputy sheriffs had been dispensed with, %0 that the people were able to get nearer thg prisoner as he passed to and from the court room. Judge Lewis. one of the at- torneys assigned as counsel by Judge Brmery yesterday, called at the Erle county Jail this afternoon to see the prisoner. Croigosz refused to talk at all. Judge Lewis sald that nevertheless he would ap- pear for the prisoner on arralgnment. ev If be decided not to accept the assignment of the court. Diminish the Body Guard. Absolutely no demonstration having been made, the authorities decided that strong guard was unnecessary today. Czolgosz was taken from the jail via the tunnel by De-| tectives Solomon and Garry. Passing from the basement of the city hall to the court room on the second floor, Czolgosz was com- pelled to pass close to the black and white bunting with which the pillars, ceilings, windows and stairways of the city hall were| draped when the body of the president was Iying In State on Sunday, which garb will not be removed until after the burial on "Thursday. These evidences of the clty's grief apparently made not the slightest im- pression on the prisoner and he gave no more heed to them or to the large por- traits of the president- tastily draped with American flags than he did to the questions| of the court or to the district attorney. The| prisoger entered the court room just as| the city hall clock was striking 3 o'clock| and as many of the curious spectators as| could surged Into the court room behind! him. A murmur ran through the audience, but the gavel of the judge and the tipstaft of the crier scon restored order. As soon as Crolgosz was before the bar and the handeuffs were removed District Attoroey Penney began the formal arralgnment. He read the principal charges of the indictment in a voice of severity and asked: “How do you plead; guilty or pot guilty 2" Again Shamw Insunity. Not a sound was uttered by the prisoner. He 3004 mute before the bar of justice, ap- parently continuing his feint of Insanity which was noticed for the first time when he was taken into court yesterday. His curly hair was disheveled and although his liren was white and clean his disorderad clothes and the growth of his beard gave him an unkept appearance. Spectators in the court room commented on the fact that if he were shaved, which he has not bee: since the day of the shooting, he would be & fairly goodlooking youag man. Although his demeanor was one of stubbornness he gave a little more evidence of concern thin upon his first presence in.court. When questions werc being asked of him repeat- edly he moistened h's lips with his tongue and endeavored to maintain the appear- ance of indifference. The prisoner's eves met those of a reporter who stared him full in the face. In a moment the prisoner's eyelids dropped and he shifted uneasily However, aside from the slight evidence of uneasiness, (zolgosz's appearance was that of a man shamming insanity. When the prisoner refused to plead, the Qistrict attorney asked him if he under- stood what hud been read, and receiving mo answer told him that he had been indicted for murder In the first degree and that he could apswer yes or mo. For an instant Czolgosz glanced at Mr. Penney and it was thought that be Intended to speak, but he did not, Judge Lewls then addressed the court at lensth, saying that he had called upon the| defendant, but had been unable to ascertain any wish on the defendant's part as to (he employment of counsel. He said that his| associate, Judge Titus, was in Milwaukee, but that he had appeared informally to! enter & plea of not gullty on behalf of thel Qefendant, as the law required such a piea under the circumstances. He asked por- mlesion to reserve the right to withdiaw or or enter a speclal plea. Judge Doesn't Like His Job, The judge expressed his regret that his| name had been mentioned in connection with this trial as he had been out of prac- tice for some considerable time and had a very strong repugnance to appearing, al- though that was a reason which would apply to every lawyer. District Attorney Penney gave notice that he would move to bave the indictment transferred to the supreme court for trial and would also notice the trial for next Monday morning. “1 know of no remson why the defend- ant should not be ready next Monday,” 1e- plied Judge Lewis. At his request, how- ever, the orders will not be entered until Judge Titus returns, which will probably b. within a day or two. Judge Lewis sald that he also would like an order of the court for allenlsts to examine the prisoner, as the district attorney had Informed him! that eminent allenists had examlned the) prisoner on behalf of the people. This gave rise to the bellef that a speclal plea of insanity may be entered by the counsel for the defense. “Remove the prisoner,” sald Judge Em- ery and Czolgosz was taken back to ‘he Jail by the underground route, again pass- ing the garb of wourning.

Today th has been some discussion as to cholce of oraior on [ th occasion. Tt Is recalled thac George Bancroft, historlan, delivered the address to congress upon the occasion of the Lin- coln eulogles. James G. Bleine made t wonderful speech on occaslon of Garfield's death. There is no Blaine today and there are few orators tp equal him. Some of th men who were members of the last con- gress, notably Thurston and Welcott, have retired to private life, but there is one orator still in congr: who may be chosen. He 1s Robert Cousins of lowa. Cousins is in some respects the ablest speaker In either house, and there is strong sentiment ‘n tavor of his selecfion for this honorable duty, Cousins !s a scholar and an orator. and while he Is uot In the senate it Is thought he is more likely to be chosen than anyone else In either house, although it may be that an outsider will have the honor conferred upon him. ¥ Mux Baer of St. Paul, Neb,, United States consul at Magdeberg, Germany, is in £h- ington preparatory to returning to his post.

The Board of Governors of the Knights Plot Ak-Sar-Ben has decided that after hav nlg closed the carnival grounds all day Thursday on account of the funeral of the late President McKinley, it will be neces- ry 1o open agalu at 7 o'clock In the evening.

FROST NIPS FUSION Conventions at Lincoln Feel Effects of Adversity's Obill. UNDREDS OF SEATS ARE UNOCCUPIED Delegates Fail to Attend the Two-Ringed Cirous This Time.

LINCOLN, Sept. 17.—(Speelal Telegram.) ~-A hard frost was reported in Lincoln and vieinity last night. A harder frost was en- countered in the fusion conventions today. The heaviest accretion of felness occurred In the populist ond of the tent that had been reduced to the size of @ two-ring show by reason of the bankruptey of the sliver republican sideshow. When at the cven- Bins scesion Chairman Thomas called for the Janitor of the Audltorfum to do some- thing to stop the cold breeze blowing through the hall, one imperturbable dele- Rate cried out: I am not surprised that this conventlon has a chill."” No wonder he was not surprised. Out @@ the 1,224 delegates accredited to the vention only 887 by actual count at the point of greatest attendance were presend in the hall. On roll call at the maximum itwenty-seven out of the ninety counties im Nobraska were entirely without representa- tlon. These were not merely the smaller or insignificant counties. Just read the list: Banner, Blaine, Brown, Chase, Cherry, Cheyenne, Dakota, Deuel, Gosper, Grant, Hayes, Hitcheock, Hooper, Keith, Kimball, Knox, Lincoln, Logan, Loup, McPherson, Perkins, Red Willow, Rock, Scotts Bluff, Sloux, Thurston. As the convention proceeded the ab- sentecism became worse instead of better. The farce was simply ridiculous to see two gor three delegates castiog from fifteen to twenty votes for delegations represented chiefly by empty chairs. Yelser and thir- teen others voted 128 for Douglas county. 'wo men cast Custer's twenty-iwo votes; four Washington's fifteen; four Cedar's seventeen and so on, Kven Lancaster could only show up thirty-four to vote for fAifty-elght, although they did not b jpay even car fare.

Demoernts More Namerous, Tt is only fair to say the democratic tier of seats was more tully occupied, but even @they could have found room for a goodly number of abzentees. The populist end of fjthe aggregation simply went through forms. It was understood in advance that the su- preme judgeship was to go to the demo- crats, but they went on to give Judgn fKretsinger a “provisional nomiation.” Hollenbeck stock had been up all day. The lonly setback {t got was from Judge Ed Adams, when he withdrew his name after flinging the lle into the teeth of Bishop Bonacum. 8l I question his veracity without being under oath as much as 1 do his veracity under oath,” he declared with reference to the bishop's letter denouncing kim as an lenemy of the Roman Catholle church. “But for this protest my name would not have come lefore tho convention,” he continued. It nominated I would decline, because I am uot a candidute, but I want to brand the statement of Bonacum s unqualifiedly false land he knows it. I challenge the test as to which tells the truth by the inepec- tion of ihe recordn in the case on file with he suprcme court. I am not a candidate Ebecause 1 am looking ahead. I am a judge on the district bench and I don't propese to let the republican governor All my place by appointing a republican in my place.” This was taken in two ways: First, that fuudge Adams apprehended little encourage- ment for his candidacy if nominated, and second, that he was glving Judge Hollenbeck a shot because the latter, as a judge of the district bench, was in the same boat. The democrats none the less proceeded to nom- inate Judge Hollenbeck, while the populists undertook to give Judge Kretsinger their endorsement. It was the old deadlock over again and waited only to which con- vention should first recede. . “We're up against it," exclalmed Laurle uifiby of Douglas. It took the others quite a while to realize it, but by the fifth ballot they were forced to it, and Hollen- beck became the fusion nominee for su- preme judge. Unauthorized Damm 1t mattered not ®hat thirty countles failed to respond on the decisive roll call in the populist convention and that a mere handful votod the delegations represented. It mattered not that in the democratic convention thirteen counties failed to re- spond, while several countles had been voted on the ballot thet made Hollenbeck successtul over Duffie, by dummies calling lout without authority from obscure parts ot the ball A bitter fecling was manifested among the popuilsts In the debate over the question of oaking 1t ananimous, which showed deep resentment against democratic indignities and democratic greedism. Only the most urgent appeals of M. F. Harrington, ex- Senator Allen, Judge J. R. Thompson and Representative Epreecher sufficed to force the resolution through over persistent op- position. Judge Hollenbeck's mcceptance was full of teeling, hut not of confidence in his elec~ tion. “If elected,” he sald, “it shall be my duty to do justice to private Individualg and corparations allke." The rest of the ticket came easy and it was completed with J. H. Bayston of Fron- tler and F. G. Hawxby of Nemaha for regents. V.
