ence. M that would amount to the eamo
tblnR In the end.
There IMS been considerable criticism of
the viTbhgo/ the senate amendment * to
day. Ocne'rnl aroAVcnor Mid sarcastically
that rcaMutlctift vrhkfi are in bear the In-
npoctlon of the world should be "at le st
giaitrmtlcal and diplomatic. "
Tito fippakcr'n lieutenants today have held
out to tholr collciRUcn the assurance that
action should be tad at ercry subsequent
stage ; of the proceedings with dispatch , and
the realutlon would go to the president
s finally ; agreed upon before Wednesday
morning.
Dut these who view the situation dlspas-
elonotely do not believe that nutti expedition
i poMlbte. There Is a strong Intimation
( hat delay Is whit la dculred by those op-
pooed to war , Inthe hope of some action by
tlie Spanish Cortce.
A hope It expressed that Mr. Httt , ctialr-
nxm of the foreign affairs committee , who
bo been quite 111 , but who In much better ,
will be Able to bo In his place tomorrow.
In that case he will be In charge on ( Me
( Boor , and he , Mr. Adams of Pennsylvania
and Mr. DInsmorc of Arkansas , the senior
iiibmbor of the minority of the committee ,
wilt bo appointed conferees on the present
SUPPORT THE ADMINISTRATION.
If Mr. Hltt Is not able to bo present Mr.
'Adams ami Mr. QuIgR of Now York w 'l bo
it ho republican conferees. Doth ere In thor
ough sympithy with Speaker Reed and the
administration. . ,
The motion to be made tomorrow will ,
of course , be antagonized by a plain mo
tion to concur , The latter motion would
take precedence over a motion to noncon
cur and would have to be voted upcci first ,
but Speaker Reed ban already held thli pes-
Blart tllat a motion to concur , with an
amendment : takes precedent over a motion
ta'tionconcur.
It la very desirable from a strategic
point of view that the flwt vote to be
taken shall be on the proposition of the
republican headers and therefore the stMn ?
probability It that this will bo the motion , .
The ' 'dtfoate" probably will not be long ,
pcotlbly two hours , and It necessary a spe-
chl rule will be brought In to cut off em-
barraxstag amendmentfi and motions.
If the resolutions should result In war , the
rcvenua measure agreed upon by the re-
imbHrana of the wayj and means commit
tee Mould be presented at once.
, Tfto army reorganization bill as modified
/Would / be patEcd an soon as en opportunity
offoM. The.cpposltlon to the modified meas
ure from the national guard has been with
drawn.
There are contested election coses and
other minor matters to nil up whatever of
tlmo remains during the week In the house.
SENATORS WILL LOOK ON.
A majority of the senate will give very
little attention to any otlier subject until
the Cuban question Is finally diapered of
In congn&s.
That body having acted upon the rcaolu-
tlonu of Independence and Intervention , the
question Is not now properly before It , but
there Is auch Interest that senators will con-
tlnuo to give It their Individual attention
until an adjustment with the house has been
eoucd.
The ( supporters of the senate form of ex-
prcwlon are very hopeful that public senti
ment will compel the house to accept the
senate declaration , but they know that the
Influential conservative clement Is against
them and they realize that they may bo dis
appointed In the action of the house. In
that event they are prepared to stand out
against a surrender on the part of the Mil-
ato.
ato.Hov
Hov/ long this determination wilt hold
remain ? to bo developed , but the advorntcs
or tlio recognition of Cuban Independence
refuse to be convinced that any other oourso
than Us recognition IB tcnible. They df-
ellno to even discuss the terms of any com
promise short or.the senate's action on this
point.1 > ' ' " . -
Whether they would hold , to this U they
should find the housa equally determined
' is not certain , In vlow of the pressure for
aefltn. 'Still1 many-4 qr the * most rftJIcv.J
* pro-Cuban.s say . . hst fcisufflclent action Is
m 'bfttpr ' tfian'na action "at' all.
On the other haml there Is an element
In the aMiate of vrespe-ctablo proportions
wht'd favora the house resolutions over
-those of the senate , rnd whose Jnflutnco will
bo constantly exerted In the lienato against
tbit tody' * own declaration.
Tte ouUpoken senators who hold th-'a view
re the twenty-or.'B ' who voted against the
roto'.utlcaj at amended , rnd there are probAbly - >
Ably a dt/zen more who voted for the declara
tion to a whole , who are not at heart favor
able to It , and who would -not be greatly
dVoppolnted at finding an opportunity to
ttodlfy Ilie senate's petition.
thus It Is that while Uio sentiment In
the aeaate Is not yet sufllclently crystallized
to justify positive prediction , there Is caough
difference of opinion to present an Interest-
ion situation If tbo house ohould fall to en
dorse the senate's action.
Aijldo from the Cuban question the senate
probably will devote Itself largely during the
week to the appropriation blllo. The mmdry'
civil bill h > is only beta partially considered ,
and the naval bill la on the calendar await
ing action. There are many disputed points

, WASHINGTON. April , 17. The action of
Great Britain In declaring coal to be a contraband - :
traband of war , as reported from Jamaica ,
Is said to have significance different front

An txplatae * 4n a-hlgh diplomatic quar

$ .1 of clthpr'Spaln or ( ho United States from
taking coal at Kingston , or any other port
in th6 We t Indies. Even when this article
ia cotttrcbind , It Is said to be wmal to
permit a vceeel ot a belligerent pfiwer to

country was engaged In carrying such a

LINCOLN , April 17. ( Spechl. ) As the
time for the campaign approaches there are
signs ol uneasiness among the members of
the state house party and many evidences
of a growing dlicord. There are numerous
rcarais for this condition of affairs. Thu
fusion officeholders have made a great mny
mistakes during the last year and A half ,
and they are busy now trying to saddle the
responsibility upon each other. Many ct
thfm lutlmite that the record ot tbo gov
ernor on the Dart ley bend nnd settlement
business Is the worst thing that the party
has to contend with. this year , and that for
that reason HolcomV ought to bo rotlrcd.
The letter recently ent out by the gov
ernor was written with a view of quieting
these complaint ? , but It has In some quar
ters bid the oppositeeffc't. . Among the
state officers the .Impression has been
gained that the Indefinite talk In the letter
about third terms waft a sly bid for another
nomination ) and they are afraid the ronoml-
tiattcm of Holcomb would hurt the entire
ticket. In the .meantime there Is a strong
demand from over the state that the demo
crats bo given flrst place on the ticket , and
an equally emphatic declaration on the p-'rt
M ppullsta 'that the head of the ticket muti ,
bo a man of their choosing , the democratic
wing having got Its full share last fall In
the nomination of Judge Sullivan. Tlilti , In
turn , brings forth the argument from the
popocrats in the First congressional district
that In care a populist Is to bo nomlratpd
for governor , their nominee for congress
must be a democrat. Similar compllc.itlonn
are arising In the other districts , and the
fusion managers cannot bo blamed If tbc-y
get distracted over the nltuatlon ,
SNUBS FOR CORNELL.
It Ifl more evident every day that the other
atnto ofllcers would be glad If they could
get rid of State Auditor Cornell , and there
lii a studied effort to shun and enub him on
every possible occasion. They say that hla
record In the matter of making appointments ,
hla ridiculous cbango of front a year ago In
the matter ot railroad asspssmcnts , Ula tec ,
pai'3 and junket records all combine tJ make
htm a heavy load for the ttatc ticket. The
open fight on him by the O'Neill Independent ,
IVtpllllon Times and other prominent popo-
cratlc papers has been accepted by the other
officials as a warning to stay out of the com
pany of the auditor. In the mt'antlmo the
auditor pays very little attention to the at
tacks made upon him , cxcnpt to occasionally
blunder Into print with an admission that
the charges , are true. At the present time ,
when tbo populists of the western counties
are making frantic demand * that the state
officials must keep themselves free from rall-
toad Influence , the state auditor Is off on a
junket to Topcka and other points , while
two of his deputies are away on similar
pleasure trips , riding on parses and taking
their relatives with them. Thla. rl > : ht on
the eve of the meeting of tne State Boai-d of
Equalization , ly regarded by many as a very
suspicious circumstance and very ijr poli
tics to say the least.
Secretary Porter's ballot record , both In
the recount , and. In the canvassing of the
votes last fall , has laid him open to attacks ,
while hlsactlvlty flu. certain-quarters 1-a the
majtcr of sppulntments ha > made -him a
eonibcr ofVndrnlea'wJio'-donrtnJ bla retire
ment this fall. The chief objection urged
against Porter' at The , statcAouse , however ,
Is that he talks too much. . They say that
by his promiscuous statements and admis
sions In Interviews last'fall he has got the'fu-
slon party Into gome awkward predicaments.
For instance , he , made 'tho statement pub
licly last fall that no " account had
been kept In any county of the
number of votes . cast -'by any one
wingof the fusion party , - and that be
cause of tbo lack of a-.iy official proof of the
percentage of votes cast , the only way the
populist , , silver democrat la or sliver repuo-
llcan parties cnuM ia represented on the bal
lot at thejcomlng btcctlou.would bo by peti
tion or toy organization of new parties.
In this case , he saM , he oitld not see how
the ; could appropriate any of fhe oid names
or emblems and stay within the law.
M1AKES THEM SHIVER.
Such talk as this cu the part of the sec
retary of st-ato was not ccroldered particu
larly ombarrasslirg last fall , ' but the rec
ollection makes the pcporatlo managers
shiver now. They want to" work the old
scheme of three conventions and three tick
ets al ] supporting 'the same candidates. But
In order to get the , ibajlot with their rooster ,
acfrool 'htfurae and.iltoej-ty bell emblems they
will have to compel ! Porter to take back
what he satd Mast fall. The representation
on the .election .boards , of the state Is also
an Important /consideration an'd whether
P9rter4rejvernes himself or not" , the managers

COLUMBUS , Neb. , April 17. ( Special. )
As the result ot the election Isst fall a
contest was Initiated liere over eome of the
county offtces. A rccoun-t of the voteo was
n-'ido and during Its progress It became evi
dent that the ballot ) had tlten tampered
with. An agitation , waa started .regarding .
the calling of a grand jury to Investigate
the matter. Cownty Attorney O'Brien stated
that ho had given the matter his earnest
attention , but had been unable to find any
statute covering the case. He then wrote
the following letter to Attorney General
Smjth :
At the last election In this county , after
the votes were cast and counted , some
person or persons tampered with the bal
lots and altered sufficient of them to change
the result of the.clectlon. Meat of thin ap-
penrs to Vmve been done by taking the
straight ballots and placing a cross oppo
site the name of candidates In another
column. That such changes were made can
easily be proved br the discrepancy be
tween the election returns and a recount of
the votes , nnd by the testimony of those
w'no voted a straight democratic or popu
list ticket In precincts which , upon a re
count , show no straight billets for either
of snid parties. ,
But I am unable to find thai there U
any punishment provided for In nn act of
that character. I had lYieught It might be
forgery , but as In n prosecution of thnt
kind A forged Instrument must be set out
nnd the proof directed to the Instrument
set out , and as It la Impossible to point out
the forged or altered ballots a prosecution
for that offense would fall.
Please advise mo If there la any statute
under which t'ne prosecution could 'Je
brought , and if so , please designate ) It.
Replying to ttio county attorney's com
munication , the attorney general wrote the
following cplmlen :
LINCOLN , Neb. , March 8 , ISOS.-Dear Sir.
Answering your Inquiry received at this
ofllco some time since , you are advised that
we tire unable to find nny provision to
our statute under which nny person , other
than an election officer , can bo prosecuted
for tampering with t'ne ballots cast at an
election. This la evidently an oversight on
the part of the legislature , but wo believe
such Is the law. Very truly yours ,
C. J. SMYTH. Attorney General.
By ED P. SMITH , Deputy.
With the opinion of the attorney general
before him , and his own Inability to discover
any l&w applicable to the case In question ,
the county a/ttorney / positively rffuccs to
recommend the KjalUiis of a grand jury. It
Is not known what Judge Marshall will con
clude to do ki ithematter , but in view of the
fact that once before he refcrrc.1 the peti
tion back to Che resident judge for his con
sideration and action , It makes It almost
certain that no 'grand ' Jury will be called.

INDIANAPOLIS , April 17. The Journal
will pub'Lab ( he card
following from ex-At
torney General W. H. H. Miller :
To the Rilltor of the Indianapolis Jour
nal : As the question whether the recognl *
tlon of a new government In Cuba Is un
executive or legislative function has be-
canio a practical one , It may be of Inter
est to know what some of the courts have
said about t'ne matter.
In Williams against the Suffolk Insurance
company ( .1 Sumner , 272) ) , the decision of the
case turned upon the disputed sovereignty
over the KiUkl.-yl | Ulanda. The government
of Huenos Ayres Insisted that these Islands
were a part orjn..sdonilnloiis. This the gov
ernment of tWeUnited States denied. Mr.
Justice Story3 lielrtg asked to decide , fills
question as am original judicial question ,
refused to donno , nnd said :
"My Judgment Ja that this court possesses
no such authority I , that It la bound by the
doctrines and claims insisted on by Its own
government ; nnd that It must take them to
bo rightful untyt tbp contrary Is established
by some formal qnd authorized action of
that government. It Is very clear that It
belongs exclusivelysto the executive depart
ment of our Government to recognize . , from . . .
time to time , uny new governments which.
may "arise In 01 1 ; political revolutions of the
world ; Und unMl srfch new-RovernmentB arose
so recofinliailrfthcy cannot * bo admitted by
our courtst afjjustjcoiito have or to exercise
the common , , rlgrjta/und prerogatives of sov
ereignty. " . ,
To this proposition. Justice Story cites
Gelston aff lii tnHQyCO'Wheaton , 310) , andi
a number qt.Kngll3h. cases.
Th'e same cise'fn Which this opinion was
delivered toy Mr. Justice Story having been
brought before the supreme court , Mr. Jus
tice McLean' ( ISfn Pet. 415) , speaking for
the court , fenldj '
"Can tViere' le : any doubt that when the
executive branch of ( he government , which
Is charged with our foreign relatlcna , sYiall
In its correspondence with a foreign nation
assume a fact In regard to the sovereignty
of any Island or country. It Is conclusive on
the judicial department , nnd In thla view
It Is not material to Inquire , nor Is It the
province".of the court to determine , whether
the executive 'bo' ' rlgVit or wrong. It Is
enough to know that In the exercise of his
constitutional' ' function he has decided the
question. Having done ; this under the re
sponsibilities whlc'n belong to him. It Is
obligator/ the , people and the govern
ment of the union. "
In the cose of Luther against Borden
(7th Howard , 1) , the question for decbMon
was which of lbe > two alleged governments
was the true statergovernmient of Rhode Is
land. It.was thers hct'di that under the
constitutional requirement that the United
States guarantee to each state a repub
lican govjrnnumt , u "was for congress to
decide Mint government U established In
the state before It can deKrailnia whether
It Is republican or not. and that .therefore ,
the act of congress which , hid be > ; n passed
watt In that cas i contacting. But Mr.
Chief Justice.'Taney. speaking for the ccurt
In that 'caso.i said :
"In the caiia'tf forcdgra nations ths gov
ernment ao'.incwled&edi by thai president Is
: il\\ij- § recognized In tbra courtn of justice.
And this principle ! haa been applied by the
net of corfgresit-to the sovereign , states of
the union. It Is said that * this power in
lh-3 president dangerous to * llborty and
mav be abuted. All power may bo abused
If placed In unworthy hands. But It would
b * dllllcult , wo thinkto point out any
other luuiiU in which this iponisr would be
more 'snfa and at , the Banta tlmo * equally
effectual. "
Again , only a few years ago. In Jones
against trw United States (137 U. S. . 202) ) ,
In which the question for dtel.Mon was as
to th ? sovereignty of the United Btntes
over Navflnsa. a. small lsand | In the Caribbean -
ibbean sea , "Mr. Justice Gray ,
the cplnUn oT tba court , cited' ' nnd quoted
with approval the lansung'ei of Mr. Justice
McLean In the Suffolk Insurance case , above
sot forth.
These opinions seem to Indicate pretty1
clearly the trend of judicial opinion upon
tills qu-stlon. W. H. JI. iMILLER.

Mike O'Brien , wdo has been doing tbe pre
liminary work fcr tbo Omaha Base Ball team
In preparation for the opening of the West
ern league season In this city , has left for
Chicago from all accounts without leaving
a word for President Schuman. Prom now
on ICe team will bo In charge of Captain and
Manager Flaher , who la to be seconded In
all hla efforts to place a winning team In
thla t city by President Schuman , according
to the statements made , by the latter last
night.
President Schuman said he , being detained
In Chicago on porsrnal business , bad no
knowledge of how things were going on In
" this city and had been receiving reports from
"b'Brlon that everything was progressing
finely. He knew nothing about the fact that
no . team was being gotten together until
rumors began to reach him a few days ago.
Ho came hero to Investigate , and thus flrst
became acquainted with tbe true condition
of affairs. He at once started on a hunt
for O'Brien and failed to find him. Later
he was Informed at O'Brien' * lodgings that
be bad gene to Chicago.
Tne president expressed himself as regret
ful of the way things are In , but says that
ho Intends to do all that he can to secure a
winning team. He das given Instructions' ' to
Manager Flhcr to get the best material ho
can. The latter ha.i now several strings out
aad hopes to land some good men. A start
In thla direction has already been made.
Last night a .telegram . was received from
President Johnson ot the IMRUO that Daub ,
a Brooklyn pitcher , bad been signed for
Omaha. Daub ban been with Brooklyn for
several years , and Fisher , uho played with
him , says that he Is all right. Another new
man coming Is Schrall , an outfielder of Cin
cinnati , who la atao said to bo good.
The condition In which the club Is at pres
ent 'Is ' likely to dampen ttio prospects of sev
eral local men who have been trying for
positions. Manager FUher rsald last nl tit
that the timeIs so short before the opening
of the f-eason that he will not have any chance
to experiment wild new men. As a consequence
quence ho Is not Inclined to consider any
body except thcso who know how to play
ball. The result will bo that the majority
of ibe local candidates are likely to be
dropped.
The first practice under Captain Fisher's
dlrcctlco will take place out at tbo grounds
thla morning , and It la proposed to put the
men through a strong drilling. Eustace and
McAuley are both expected 'today and may been -
on hand at the practice.

RAO 'MAN ARRESTED i.OMAHA. .

TCarly Morning ; Hour * .
EM Hammond , a man with a bad record ,
waa arrested at 2 o'clock" this morning on
the charge of having committed a highway
robbery at St. Joseph , Mo. , and also on gen
eral suspicion of being ono. of the footpads
who have been a menace -to tbe publics-safety
in this city for several months paat.
From the descriptions given by those
robbed and assaulted In .this city Hammond
was suspected and when U was learned that
he waa in Minneapolis tbe authorities there
were requested to take him into custody.
This they did , but when an officer -ft'as about
to , start for -him it was learned that there
waa a very strong case of blglrwny robbery
pending against tbe man at St. , Joseph. It
wuu unfinished f < ? r the reaaon that Hammond
bad broken jail arid escaped.
< Asthere was very little evidence to con
nect Hammond -with the wrongdoing in
Omaha It was concluded to turn him over
to the authorities of St. Joseph and a sheriff
started to take Wm to .that city. He had
reached apoint In Iowa , nearly opposite
Omaha 'with bis 'charge when the , prisoner
escaped. The sheriff says Hammond Jumped
from tbo train when U was traveling at a
rate of sixty miles an hour , but Hammond
states th'at It had , come , to a stop and but lit
tle effort 'was ' made to detain him.
Last night Captain 'Haze ' learned that
Hammond waa to' , Omaha at the house of bis
brother-in-law at Twenty-first and Clark
streets and a search was made which lo
cated Hammond on a shelf In the .pantry
'
enveloped In a quilt. 'He''was ' charged with
being a fugitive from Justice.

foreman of a mason Rang ucid at present
ho Is In Council llluft ? . Ho came to Onuba
from Hllcy , Kan. , to superintend the con
struction of a combination track at the fl'ir-
llngton depot for exposition traffic and be
fore going to the lodging house ho cashed
a tlmo check for himself and cue. for a
workman in bis gang , J. L. Murkln ° t
Atchlson , Kan. , amounting to about $200.
This money he took with him to tbe lodgIng -
Ing houro and the fact that It was In his
possession evidently was known to the rob
ber.
During the tilght , probably about 120 :
o'clock. Wllcox was avuiltcned from a doze - - -
(
by the key In the door of his room bolus p
pushed out of the lock and falling upon tlio
floor. Ho got out of bed and listening at
tbe door heard some ono \\orklng at 'the
lock uuon the otiUlde. Ho asked what \vns
wanting , but Instead ot making any reply
the robber retreated upon tiptoes down
tbo hall. Wllcox took the money out
of bis clothes and placing It under hta
pillow , lay down again. Ho fell asleep und
then It was that the robber returned to the
attack , thlo tlmo opening the door with a
skeleton key. Aa the thief entered tbo room
Wilcox woke up. Leaping out of bed ho
confronted the robber. The men gtapplcd
and there was a tussle long and hard. Dur
ing the struggle Wllcox edged his way to
ward the bed and with an almost super
human effort threw Uie. . Intruder upon tlio
floor. Then ho grabbed up ttic money under
the pillow.
The robber bad seen this movement and
thought , evidently , that Wtlcox had secured
a revolver. Ho begged the latter not to
shoot , and seeing tbe advantage ho had over
the robber , ordered htm out of the room ,
which the burglar lost no tlmo In doing.
Wllcox then drcased and going below noti
fied the cle/ik in the office of the trouble.
A search was made for the burglar , but
without result. Wllcox could not bo Induced
to remain In the house the balance ot the
night , and thinking that bo would bo safer
with hit' money In Council Bluffs than In
Omaha , ho boarded an electric par and went
over the river. 'Before ' doing thU , however ,
ho notified tbo police In Omaha of .the at
tempt to rob him.
