I There was mgch suppressed excitement I during the reading of various decisions by I the associate justices , several of which were I of mucli importancn.

It was "considerably after 1 o'clock I when Chief Justice Fuller concluded reading I his opinions nnd the Nebraska cnso was not I among them. There was general dlsappoint- I incut expressed and a universal concensus Of I opinion that the premature publication of the [ decision , whluh the court prepared some days I days ago , had induced It to withhold its de- I clsion until after the Investigation now in I progress was concluded as to the source of I the information furnished to the press last I week. The decision cannot now bo rondcrod I until next Mondnv , the opinions of the court I being only presented except on very rnro I occasions , on that day.

Ift1 * If3i' This evening's Star says In Its news col- 1HL v'js that It Is possible the vote on the I " TKtSbraska case has boon confused with the | vote on the North Yakima case , which , bva I Btraugo coincidence , stood identically us was anticipated the governorship case of Nebraska would stand , viSix : to three Jn ! fnvnr of appellant , the dissenting Justices ! bolncr two republicans and ono democrat. Editorially , however , the Star accepts the "pointer" ns good , as , indeed , does every 0110 In Washington. The Star says editorially : "The quoeiost news leak of the century , perhaps , is that of the decision in the Boyd cnso from Nebraska. It has probably nov'er before happened that an Important 'opinion of the highest court in tbo land , involving a ) qunstlon of the gravest Importance , was outlined days oeforo Us delivery from the bench. It ought not. to have occurred. Tlio llko of it will probaoly not occur again. The members of the .supromo tribunal are doubt less as much disturbed over the pramaturs I publication as any mornbars of a government | ever were on occasion where the mutter 1 divulged was not attended by dlro consequences quences , and may bu o-jpected "to take extra precautions hereafter. " Higher Value on Clll/cnslilp. Today's Philadelphia Press has this ia its f jiditorial column : "ir , ns rumor claims , 'Sjfho United States supreme court iff lylll decide the Nebraska gubernatorial W controversy in favor of Mr. Boyd , ( p. . tboro will not bo much criticism of the de cision. Mr. Boyd received a smalt but un- iir'.listionod plurality of the vote cast in 1SOO , figil tlio contest ever his title has not had thu Indorsement ot all bis opponents. The flaw I In his citizenship could have boon readily It overlooked in his case , hut the contest , how- r over it may Issue , will do no harm if It calls I attention to tlio carelessness often oxer- I ciscd bv aliens In obtaining the right to I votn and place ; , a higher value on American I citizenship. If Mr. Boyd had not boon the I ; chief mover In the attempt to place a crank IV ) on thu Nebraska supreme court bench last I fall with the evident purpose of getting ro- I vcnno on the court because it had decided I. nealnst him , ho would stand bolter with the I ! country today. But the failure of that at- I tcinpt may have taught him a needful los- I ton. " I Somebody Will Suller , I The Now York Sun says : "Whllo no nftl- [ clal information can ba secured In regard to I ! tha report that the Unltod States supreme I , court had by n vote of It to 8 decided the con- I test between Boyd and Thayer for the gov- li oriioraulp of Nebraska in favor of the for- I' rnor , it can be positively assorted that tha I t courtmU render such a decision. It can I -/ilt-o bo said , in consequence , that there Is fcf < * i\itrious trouble nhoad for tbo person or por- Er ilous who gave out the information before ' thn decision was formally rendered by the I covirt. Chief Justice Fuller yesterday Insti- r tutad at Investigation , which is still in I progress , with a view to ferreting out the I guilty parties. Thn opinion of the court in I tbo case was reached last week , at which I time the question involved was discussed at | length , and a vote taken.

" t "In what phase did you llnd the most con clusive argument In line with your decision f" was asKed of the venerable Judge. "i'ho Nebraska enabling act was n very broad ono. It was found to bo identical In spirit and scope with tbo constitution ot the United States , which starts out in its preamble with 'wo the people , ' etc. It is so with tlio enabling net which alludes to 'tho pooplo' of the territory of Nebraska. The constitution made nil boiui Ildo residents of the colonies cltl/.uns of the United Statoa ; It simply nationalized the thirteen colonies. Tbo onablinu : net provided , also , that tbo state of Nebraska should enter the union will , all the privileges nnd immunities for itself and residents that were granted to the thirteen original state ? . The residents of Nebraska , when the territory was admitted became , ipso facto , citizens of the United States. The Unltod States Riipromo court had twlco rendered a decision to that otluct and I could not understand why such decisions wore not conclusive. But suuposo there wore living in Ne braska when tlio state was admitted , persons who were subjects of foreign powers nnd did not wish to become citizens of the United Stntos would not the admission of the terri tory maito them citizens against their will ? If they I on nd in after years that it would bo convenient to deny their citizenship by such process , what then 1 Would they be con sidered subjects of subjects of u country to which they had not sworn allegiance ( "I hnrdlv know whore that would load to , but it is certain that there would ba little dancer from possible complications of that kind which might arise. After the genera tion living In the territory at the tlmo of its rdmisslon bad passed away a case of that kind could not exist.

The correspondence - rospondonco which the president has promised to send to congress relating to the nttaclc upon the Baltimore's sailors at Val paraiso will not bo seat In tomorrow , in fact there is reason to believe that some days will olapjo before the public will know officially Just what , has passed between the Depart ment of State and Minister l ganontho one side and tbo Chilian Inmlstor of foreign affairs and Minister Moutt on the - other. The unolllciul announce ment of the practical completion of the Judicial proceedings in Valparaiso and thn intention of the Chilian legal authorities to punish the thrco Chilians con victed of participation in the assault , has given satisfaction here , and is generally re garded as a distinct concession by the Chil ians to the United States as showing that there will not in all probability , bo any lurthor undue delay in the disposition of the case. Thuso tidings have , so far as can bo learned , been olUciallv made known to Sec retary Blainc by Minister Montt , and it maybe bo that the latter will await tlio sent unco of the convicted Chilians before he pn'sonts to the secretary the conclusions reached by the judicial authorities of his country. With matters on this promising condition , it is therefore unlikely that a disturbing element will be introduced in the negotiations by the publication of the uncomploto correspon dence.

IN THE HIGHEST TRIBUNAL , Decisions Handed Down by the United States Supreme Court Yesterday , IMPORTANT FINDINGS OF THE BODY. Dlllutory Attorncjs Troiitetl to n Surprise Suits of Great liitrrrst to llio Public Acted Upon and Decided by tlio Court , \VASIIIXOTOK , D. C. , Jan. 4. The United Stales Supreme court today nfllrmcd the de cision of the loxvor court in the suit brought by tho' Pacltlo Express company ngulnst James M. Siubert nud John M. Wood , auditor nnd attorney general respectively , of Mis souri. By this suit the express company sought to restrain and enjoin the collection of a tax of $3 on each $100 of its receipts , levied by an act of the state legislature against the express companies doing business within the state. The company's bill attacked the constitutionality of the act , as an Interference with the inter state commerce and declared that it violated tbo fourteenth amendment , giving equal protection to all , nnd was also contrary to the provision of the Missouri state constitu tion , requiring that nil laws shall bo uni form. The court , In an opinion by Justice Lamar , says.that the contention that tax is levied upon Interstate commerce is unsound. It says Una the tax does not rplato to inter state business , but entirely to stnto butii- ness , and is expressly limited to the receipts for business done entirely within the state , and that It was not the Intention of the legislature to interfere with or tax inter state commerce In any way whatever. The other points raised , It also holds , were not well taken , for tlio reason that tbo tax ap plies equally to all companies doing an express - press business. Yukiimii VH. Northern I'lielllc. A decision was rendered in favor of the Northern Pacific Hnllroad company in the mandamus suit brought against it by the territory of Washington ox rel. Illram Duslin , prosecuting attorney of Yakama county , to compel the railroad company to maintain a station and stop its trains at Yakama City , the company having built a town of its own at Nortnorn Yakama and refusing to stop trains at Yakama City. Justice Gray rendered the opinion of the cpurt ; Justices Brewer , Field nud Harlun dissented. The bill sot forth that Yakama City at tie time of the building of the road , was the counsy scat and the largest town in that county , and that the object of the railroad company in refusing to make Yukama City a station was tn ruin the town and anhnnco the value of thotownslght of North Yakama , which It had located on unimproved lands belonging to the railroad company. Justice Gray , in the opinion of the court , says that a writ of mandamus to compel n railroad corporation to do a particular act in con structing its road , or buildings or in running Us trains can bo issued only when then ! is a spccillc legal duty on its part to do that act , nnd clear proof of a broach of duty. The courts have so hold , even in the matter of establishing a station ut the terminus of a road. The dlfllcultios in the way of issuing a mandamus are much increased when it is sought to compel a road to stop trains at a particular place. The loca tion of stations and warehouses for receiving and delivering passengers and freight in volves a comprehensive vlow of the interest of the public , as well as ot the corporation , and a consideration of many circumstances concerning the amount of business and con venience of particular locations , which are more appropriate to bo determined by tbe directors of the company or , in case of the abuse of their discretion , by the legislature or by administrative boards entrusted by the legislature with that duty than bv the ordi nary Judicial tribunals. Justice Gray says that the charter of the company does not Impose any specific duty as to the mainten ance and sue of stntlons , and that to compel ilia directors to bo contiollcd by the courts by writs of mandamus In establishing sta tions would bo inconsistent with many previous decisions. The findings below , ho says , show that the people living in the surrounding country considered as a com munity , would uo better accommodated at Ynkama than at YaUnma City. The com' pany denies the fraudulent intention charged by Yakdina City , and it was not found by the Jury. The fact that the town of North Yakama was laid out by the company on Us own land cannot impair tbo rights of the inhabitants of that town. Justice llraucr DlhsentH. Justice Brewer rendered a vigorous oral dissent , which was concurred In by Justices Horlan nnd Field. Ilo huld that when the railroad built its line it found n city already established , the county neat , and largest place along its road for many miles. Every public Interest- required that the station should bo established thoro. Instead , the railroad company wont over four miles further along and laid out a town on its own land. No reason has been given for such a course. The railroad neglected and aban doned Us public duty to subsorvo Us private onds. Any ono who Knows tbo process of the railroad building knows It is a common thing to build up ono town und put down another lu this manner , If the established town otters an Insufllciont bonus for n station sometimes. The dissenting Justices , ho said , thought that the courts had suftlciont power to restrain such proceedings. AttornoyH.TiiiiKlit 11 Lesson. That the United States supreme court is tenacious of its dignity both parties to ono of the many drummers' tax cases from Tennessee - see , have discovered. Two terms ago , the case of Charles L. Ficitlln vs the Taxing District of Shelby County , Tennessee , was submitted under the rules on printed briefs. The coart made an order subsequently setting ting aside that submission and ordering oral argument before a full bonch. The case is ono Involving the legality of n drummer or , more technically , an agent's tax , for the pur pose of doing business within the state , Flcklln having boon the representative of a llrrn outside the &tuto. Homo line questions of constitutional law , and the extent to which a taxing act nuiv go without becoming an In terference with Interstate commerce , were necessary to a judicial de cision , and the court , having previously divided on somewhat similar questions , was desirous of obtaining oral us well us printed argument. When tna day sot for the hearIng - Ing arrived , counsel on either side failed to appear. The court thereupon very promptly dis'mUscd the suit for want of prosecution in the manner directed bv the court. This rather astonished tbo attorneys , and Fick- lln's counsel afterward cama Into court , begged its pardon , raid no contempt or dis courtesy to the court was intended , and that they were unaware that the court intended Us order as a mandate. The court was then asked to rouibtato the case on the docket. Chief Justice Fuller today announced ( bat the court had decided to grant the roq'tiost , and luul sot tlio case down for argument Jan uary ' . ' 5 , after previously assigned cases. Dismissed for Want ol Jurisdiction. Chief Justice Fuller todny announced the decision of the supreme court of the United States , dismissing for want of Jurisdiction the cnso ot Hichurd Savior , plaintiff in error , vs. Cass county , North Dakoto. This was an action to recover money paid by tax tltlo purchaser to the county at a ale , on the grouud that the Unltod States had a lion on the lauds , which were a part of the Northern Pticllio land grunt oa. which the railroad had not yet paid the costs of survey , nnd that the lands therefore could not ba sold for. taxes. The court holds that there is n fal'HfO'On Urn , ' record to establish n foder.il q'tiouion. The court reversed the dccUlon of the supromo' court of the territory of Dakota In a similar rase , in which tbo BtUtsm in oompau y was appellant against Chariot S. Wallace. Tbo court dismissed for want of Juris diction a case brought by the St. Paul , Mlunoapolli & Manitoba Hallroad company , against the county of To'lil ' , In which the company sougUt to bnvo doolure-d Invalid u tax levied against tbo companyfor lands on which it had purchrvcd.tlmhar rights , the company contending that It constituted nn impairment of contract undttr jiho charter. The court sustained a law tjf , the state of South Carolina , which provided that the ex penses of the state railroad commissioner shall bo berne by the ntllroad doing buslnoss within the state , each road being taxed Us proportionate share of tbo expanses of main taining the commissioner , on the basts of mileage within the state. In 1'uvor of tint T'crry Company. The court reversed the decision of the cir cuit court of the United States for tbo Southern district of Illinois in the case of the Wiggins Ferry company , appellants , vs. the Ohio & Mississippi Hallroad company. The predecessor to the Ohio & Mississippi Illvor company , which was the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad company , made a contract with the ferry company to glvo It nil of Its ferr.vngo. in consideration for the use by the railroad company of nu island opposite tbo city of St. Louis. After reorganization , tbo railroad company began to divert Its business to rival ferry companies. Tbo court holds that tbo agreement between the ferry company and the railroad company constituted a contract which was binding on tnn latter as successor to the Ohio & Mississippi Hlver company. The court directs that stops bo taken to us- tabllsh tlio damages the ferry company is entitled to for broach of contract. Jli.1IOVAl < Off GKANT'S ItUMAINS.

Ex-Govornor Hill will scarcely outer upon bis legislative duties before bo will bo , called upon to oppose the resolution providing for the removal of General Grant's bodv to this city. It was thought when Senator Plumb died tbo resolution would remain unacted upon smco none of the other members seamed spaslully Interested in it.

Tlio senatorial con test this morning shows hopeful evidence of nu early solution. Ono by ono the doubtful assembly men are being forced to yield to public pressure or the clamor of their constituents nnd declare themselves until the list ia becoming so small that the result can soon bo safely dficlared. Last night Senator Parker of Cuyahoga declared Irrevocably lor For- akcr , and this morning Senator Rawllns of Clark comes out for Shormau. This is a dis tinct gain of ono for the Shormanltos , as Rawlins had been constantly claimed by both sides. Tbo Shormau people this morning instiled they will have tbo support of Senator L.nmp- som , president pro tern of the senate , but the Foraker people also claim him , while the senator himself still maintains his position of uncertainty. Senator Sherman , on being questioned , said : ' ! Have received assurances that Lampson will cast his vote forme. " Strong efforts are being mudo by the Forn- ker men generally to induce labor organiza tions throughout tbo btato lo declare for Foraker and against Sherman. A little excitement was occasioned this morning by the claim of the Forakor people that tbo Sherman forces were endeav oring to secure the vote of ROpro- sontntivo Pudney of Cleveland through the influence of Chauncoy M. Depew , who , they said , had consented to take a hand in the tight for Sherman. It was dis covered this meant that Puduoy would bo deprived of his position us attorney of the Lalio Shore & Michigan Southern railroad company at the town in which ho resiJej if ho falls to vote for Sherman. The Sherman people denounce this statement as malicious and state that neither Doppw nor any ' other corporate representatives' endeavor ing to coerce men into supporting Senator Sherman. The two houses of the general assembly mot nt 10 this morning nnd organized by electing Senator Lampson of Asbtabula as president pro tern of tbo scnato and Representative Luvhn Huron as speaker of the bouso. The regular caucus nominees for the minor posi tions were also elected. In his message to the general assembly Governor Campbell confined himself to n renewal of such sug gestions and recommendations ns were made by him to the sixty-ninth assembly and not acted upon by that body. Sherman republicans mudo no attempt to seat Gcorgo Idcn In tbo Iden-Gaumor contest this morning , , so the anticipated conflict be tween the Foraker and Sherman forces in the senate did not take place , and the only dispute over the question was wnothor the case should be referred to the regular com- mlttoo on privileges nud elections , when appointed , or to a special committee , consisting of Nichols and Carpenter. republicans , nnd Forbes , democrat. The latter was the proposition of the republicans , and It prevailed by a strict party voto. As the republican members of the committee are both Sherman men tbero Is no doubt they will report In favor of seating Idon without delay. Foraker senators refuse to indicate what course they will pursue In case the committee reports in favor of seating Idcn. ic/r.K HELP oniA.\ixis 'Jem : , s7.v.i r ; ; .

I In the supreme court today Asaociato Justices Brewer , Hurlnn and FioUt laid dowu some law which will attract widespread uttontlon , especially In the far west. It was provoked by the cnso against the Northern Pacific Railroad company from thostalo of Washington. The railroad company , somu tlmo after Yamim.1. City was established , withdrew its station from that point ami located it some four miles distant , whore ll ouubllshod the city of North Yaknnia. The object of the company was , of course , to create a boom for its own town lots. I'll9 first city established brought suit by lha county attorney to compel the railroad to maintain for the accommodation of thu people - plo a station nt Yakama City and In the suit was successful. The company appealed to the supreme court , holding that the greater number of its patrons were accommodated by the station lust established and that it was not In the Interest of the public that tbo .station llrst established should bo maintained ; also six ot the members of the court took this view oC the cnso and ovjrrulod tbo dccislou of the court below , but Associate Justices Brewer , Hnrltin nnd Field dissented. Justice llrouer'H Logic. Ill announcing the ground taken by tlio dis senting Justices , there was great earnestness shown In the manner and words of Justice Browor. who was nppointcd from Kansas and Is therefore familiar with the manner in which railroad companies In the west strlko down cities in which they are not , in a lauded way , interested for 'tlio purpose o building up their own towns to sell corner and inside lots. Mr. Blower's volco arose high above the din about the court room as ho intimated In unmistakable language that the position as sumed by the majority of the bench that a railroad company has a right to locnto it's own stations without roirnrd to the interests of the people-was neither Justified by law nor common decency. Ilo said ho was very familiar with the motives which prompted railway companies in the far west to tear down a thriving town in order that they might build up-anothor town upon ground owned by thorn. "I hold ns duo the two Justices dissenting from this opinion , " said Justice Brewer , feelingly , "that the suprmno court of tbo United States , if not the courts of the states , has the right to compel a railroad company to locate and malntun n station where the interests of the nublin rlnmaml It. T linli ! further , that it is a violation of the law and a moral crime , for a great corporation and pub lic servant to destroy the property of others for their own interests. Illustrated thu Cuso. , "I hold that the supreme court of the United States has the authority , as an Illus tration of what the dissenting justices stand upon , to force a railroad company to main * tain established stations whcrovnr the inter ests of tbo public demand them , oven to the detriment of the compiny's Interests. For instance , should a railroad bo constructed from Evansvlllo to South Bond In the snmo state , via Indianapolis , and It should oleaso tno company to go four or live miles out of tno latter city to locate Us station , the supreme premo court has the authority to compel it oitablish and keep up a station in the city ot Indianapolis. " Three or four of the most eminent lawyers iu the country , including two ox-nttornoy conorals , who hoard tbo statement ot Mr. Brewer , suid afterward that it was ( rood law and should bo enforced , To mnko the Yakama City case plain , it should bo added , at the time the Northern Pacillo withdrew Us station and established a rival city there was no town at all on thn second sltn and therefore it was a euso of a corporation de stroying thu interests of public and prlvato property. South Omuliu'H I'edenil Senator Maudorson will tomorrow intro duce a bill luthosenatoupproprluting$100,000 for the purchase of a slto and construction of n public building In South Omaha. Senator Mandorson told Tins BUB corre spondent today that ho took this stop without much hope of ultimate success in this congress , but at the solicita tion of his friends there , and ho felt It would do no harm to introduce the bill and push it , oven though there was little bops of its final adoption. The senator said that preccdonco was given public building bills for cities where terms of the Unltod States court are held , nnd that inasmuch as there are hills pending of that character lor Nebraska and the lower house of the present congress was strongly democratic and on record iu opposi tion to publio buitdlnc bills nnd every other kind of public enterprise , the clianco of adoption of the bouso were very few ; however - over , ho would push It through the senate and give it some prestige at least. Otir"llllH ! to Ho Inti-iMlnceil.
