NEW TRIAL ASKED IN THE HILL CASE Attnrntij-t fur I lie Detent * Make No Ob- Jrctlnu l'.lfrt | to Ila > luc It het fur Hour. IHK Hit * Term J'onllriitUr/ Appritliun utVorli. . LINCOLN , May 21. ( Special. ) The forces at the command of Ur. Hay , present Incum bent of the itiperlDUntlcncy of the Lincoln Insane ho pltat , have shown their hands. With the apstxtanco of Attorney General Churchill they propose to keep the matter In court and Dr. Abbott out Indefinitely , cost what It may. Today Itvas expected that Judge TIlibMtn would hand down his decision la the CJKO ot the temporary injunction granted by th ? district court a week ago. Had the decision ben unfavorable to Dr. Hay , isupersedeas papers were all prepared ready to submit to the cuurt. Had the supor- Ncdeas bctn denied , It was their Intention to Immediately apply to the supreme court for an order compelling Dr. Abbott to appear at some day In the distant future and answer. It la Dr. Hay's evident Intention to keep court proceedings running right along , parallel with the efforts of Governor HUcomb to eject Dr. Hay from the hospital. Thus It becomes a struggle for supremacy between the author ity of the state aiid the proverbial delay of the law. This afternoon Dr. Abbott received a tip that more papers were out for him In the hands of a deputy sheriff. The doctor Imme diately proceeded to sequester himself , and for two hours was hidden away In a private residence In town. Telephone communications with Ihoofflceof the clerk of the district court revealed the fact that no papers were out , and Dr. Abbott again appeared upon the Btrcet. It Is expected that the next move will bo made from th ? supreme court should the result In the district court before Judge TlbbetU prove unfavorable to Dr. Hay. NEW TRIAL OF THI3 HILL CASE. This morning the supreme court heard arguments on the motion of thu attorney * for the state for n new trial of the cate of the state against ex-Treasurer John E. Hill and his bondsmen. It li Bought by the state to have the trial fixed to occur dur ing the prerent term. While not opposing a new trial , the defense asks that the trial bo not iset during the present term. Judge Wakelcy nnd G. M. Lambertson spoke for the state this morning , and all the attorneys for the defense , except Judge Broady , per- zonal counsel for Hill , argued against an Immediate trial. At the conclusion the court took the matter under advisement until to morrow morning. By Ihe attorneys for the defense It was urged that the trial had al ready consumed two weeks of their time and that a second trial during the present term would prevent them from fulfilling en gagements in other courts nnd In behalf of other clients. It was also advanced that it was not customary to set a case- for trial during thu same term In which It Is granted. Appraiser Gale and Umpire GaUln of the prison property appraisers' trio were at the offlce of the secretary of state today and took the ofllclal oath. With Appraiser Broatch Gale will begin business tomorrow morning at the penitentiary. It is understood that the big Corliss engine and other machinery will occupy the attention of the two ap praisers first. Umpire Gaflln will pose merely as a looker-on In Vienna unless a disagreement arises between Appraisers Broatch and Gale. As such a disagreement Is as likely to arise at one time as another It IB thought by the Board of Public Land and Buildings that he should be on the ground during the entire time occupied by the appraisement. DENY PEIISONAL LIABILITY. An answer was filed In the district court this morning by II. J. Walsh , Rolla C. Phillips , C. E. Yatcs , E. P. Ilamer nnd A. P. S. Stuart , directors of the late Capital National bank. They were sued by John Daniels to recover from them personally the amount of his deposit In the broken bank Daniels claims that these directors had filed a false statement of the bank's condition. Defendants admit that they were directors and signed the statement. They also aver that such statements were published Blniplj because the national banking law under which their bank was chartcrd compelled them to do so. They argue that their acti were all performed under the provisions ol the national banking act , that liabilities arising from It must be determined by the construction of that act by this federal courts and that , therefore , the district court has no jurisdiction. Therefore they ask that the case be dismissed. Neat & Wood's grain commission house made an assignment this morning and Deputy Sheriff Hoxle took charge ot the outfit. No schedule of liabilities and assets has been filed , but the partners. Frank P. Neal and Frank W. Wood , say they are unable to meet their obligations and want their assets handled for the benefit of creditors. The firm had a br.iuch house In Hastings. It was reported they wcro on the wrong sidt of wheat during the late bulge , but a promi nent grain man In tlia city says the sus pension is duo to the failure of countrj customers to meet obligations. Deputy Hoxle secured several thousand dollars In cash and expects more. The state executive committee of the people's party will meet at the Lindcll hole at 2 p. m.

C Holmes , John Hewitt and Harry Hotchklss additional delegates from Nebraska. In the general discussion following the se lection of officers It was developed that there was no fund from which a nickel could be "drawn for expenses Incident to a display from Nebraska. But It Is evident that this condition Is not going to deter tb energetic delegates from going- ahead nnd doing all In their power , with such assistance as can ba secured from manufacturing exhibitors , to so- euro for the state a creditable showing at Atlanta. It is argued by the delegates that aa BO many other western Mates will bo handsomely represented the absence of Ne braska would be quickly noticed and unfa vorable comment excited. There was a con census of opinion among the delegates tha the central exhibit should be corn , vrtth al the numerous manufactured products fron that cereal.

It- has also been pointed out { hat foreign governments are In the habit of guarding very Jealously their own experiments of this kind , so as to prevent other nations from profiting at their expense.

WASHINGTON , May 21. Paul Dray , step son ot ex-Consul Waller and his copartner In the concession In Madagascar , was at the State department today and had an Interview with Acting Secretary Uhl. The depart ment Is making a careful examination of the merits of his claim for reparation and a full transcript of his statement will be for warded to Ambassador Kuttls to serve as the basis for negotiations with the French government. U seems from Dray's account that but one American besides Waller anc himself Is Interested In a concession In Mad agascar. This man , an ex-army officer , was recently granted a concession containing mineral , which was approved by the Frencl resident. For this reason the Hovas have always resisted It. There are , however , some ISrltlsli subjects who hold concessions grantee directly by the Hovas and standing without the approval of the French resident. Inas much as the latter bad fought to dispossess Waller and Dray from these concessions on the claim that French approval was neces sary to make It legal , the Americans may nnd In the case of the British concessionaires a etrong support , for It is believed the French would not dare to make any Issue with Great Dritaln on this matter at present and they cannot consistently discriminate against Americans if the State dcpartmen undertakes to champion their cause , which it will do.

NO DXrilA SKMSION Of UONdlU'.S.S Treasury It Amply I'rovlilcil for cl * Until Drcciulirr. WASHINGTON. May 21. The Income tax eclslon , Us effects upon the revenues and he probabilities of an extra session of con- rpss to provide means of supplying the de- cit were the chief subjects of discussion n official and political circles today. Sena- or Morgan of Alabama , one of the ablest onstltutlonal lawyers In the senate , said oday that the- decision leaves the taxing lowers of the government In n state of vreck. It will require a long lime to gather up the fragments. Principles of taxation vhlch were considered well settled , are torn tp by this decision. "How will the question come up In the cnate ? " "In connection with the question of ro unding the J76.090 already collected , and he refunding of the cotton , whisky , beer nnd obacco taxes. All these taxes are as much Irect taxes as the tax on personalty and s unconstitutional , according to yesterday's eclslon of the supreme .court. " "What can congress do ? " "Of course. " replied Senator Morgan , "con gress will have to accept the decision , but an amendment to the constitution Is always ) osslblc. " Senator Faulkner of West Virginia said he bought there was no danger ot an extra esslon nnd no earthly chance for one. He dded : "Even with this loss of Income there a a comfortable condition of the treasury. t has today $90.000.000 surplus In addition o the gold reserve and I am sure that will > e sufficient to last until the meeting of corgrcss. The country will not suffer so niich from a lack of legislation as It would rom a session of congress. " Keprcscntallvo Updegraff ( republican ) of owa said : "Tho tax was not an unpopular one In the west. However , I think the court lid well to declare the whole act void after t had been devitalized by the first judgment. see no necessity for an extra session of congress now. " * Members of the administration who are undoubtedly fully acquainted with the presl- lent's views and purposes , state unhcsltat- n ply that an extra session of cortgress IK out of the question. Nor Is there the least Ikelihood ot another bond Issue. The treasury ms now a balance of over $182,000,000 which s available for nil purposes and this amount s more likely to be Increased than diminished luring the next few months. It Is argued that the approaching fruit canning season Is certain to make a largely ncreased demand for sugar , which , owing to he Email supply on hand , must be Imported. The revenues from this source are con- Ulently expected to reach several millions and this , added to the large amounts which very soon will begin to come In from renewed Iquor licenses , will largely augment the revenues , oven should , the customs not meet ircsent expectations. All licenses expire on June 30 In each year and Judging from last year's revenues , the receipts this year from his source will exceed $0.000,000 , which must > a paid within the next forty days. In the neantlme the expenditures will bo kept down o the lowest point consistent with good justness principles. Commissioner Miller of the International Hevcnue Bureau , will dis miss at once every unnecessary person em- [ iloycd In connection with the Income tax at the earliest possible moment nnd as soon as the returns can be cUsslded and tabulated so that the amount to be refunded to each person who has paid his tax Is made ap parent , the bureau will be closed.

A society man turned detective is a novelty in that pro fession. Mr , HORACE PREBLE is such a man , and HOWARD FIELDING is the chronicler of his adventures. The affair of THE FRAUDULENT CLAIM exhibits an interesting phase of the character of Mr. PREBLE. It shows that a detective may serve the law at the expense of his conscience , and that technical , right is often actual wrong. Mr. FIELDING is never found in the beaten paths ; and it will not surprise the readers of this story to discover that it is very far out of the ordinary line of detective fiction. The author has exposed a variety of rascality common enough in real life but new in romance. The story is bright and entertaining ; it appeals strongly to thesympa- thies of the reader. It will be printed in two parts , the first of which will appear in THE BEE of May 23 and the conclusion on the following day.
