WASHINGTON, Jnn. II. The United
Btntcs supremo court today announced It
decision In tho case of C. K. W. Necly,
charged with embezzlement of the public of
funds ot Cuba, while acting as finanlcal
ngent of tho department of posts of that
Island, holding that Necly wbb subject to
extradition.
Justice Harlan handed down tho court's
opinion, which was unanimous, and Imme
diately after tho opinion was concluded an
order wna Issued requiring that the man
dato In the case bo Issued at once.
The opinion embraced n complete review
of tho case, cxplalnlnf Ncely'H rrlmo and
arrest nml his etforts to prevent .'xtru.ll-
tlon and quoted tho act of Juno 6. IWm-
tending tho provisions or Bceuon tu.u oi
tho revised statute to foreign countries
which uro "occupied by or under the eon
trol of tho United States." so an to make
tho law cover, among other crimes, em
bezzlctncnt In such countries.
flclatlng that the circuit court for the
Southern district of New York, to which an
application for n writ of habeas corpuo
had been made, had rendered a decision ad
verso to Xcoly's claims, Justice Harlan
said that ho bad then appealed to this
court on tho ground that the act of Juno 6,
l!tf)0, was unconstitutional. Kntcrlng there
upon, his roasonlng In tho case, Justice
Harlan said that there was no dUputo that
on the 6th of June, MOO, when the art un
dcr which this proceeding Is brought be
camo a law, Cuba was "under tho con
trol of tho United Stntcs" and "occupied
by this government." "The court," ho snld,
"will tako Judicial notlco that sucti were at

l.pRlNlnllon Preceding the Wnr.
Justice Harlan then reviewed thn legls
Iatlon preceding the war with Spain, quot
lng tho Joint rcHolutlon of April 20. 1S98, and
the declaration which followed on tho 25th
of tho samo month. Tho protocol between
the United States and Spnln and the Paris
treaty, are reviewed for tho purpose of
showing not only thn relation of tho Untied
KlnteH to Cuba, but Spain's relinquishment
of sovereignty over tho Island. Xotlcc was
inken of thn establishment of n military
government over Cuba and Governor
Ilrooko's proclamation of January 1, 189!),
w.as quoted, Tho Justice then referred to the
governor's establishment of various de
nnrttnontn In order to promote tho civil
government of tho Island. Ho also called
attention to tho promulgation of the postal
code suporscdlng all other Cuban laws re
latlng to postal nffalra and related that on
tho 13th of Juno last Governor Wood had
mado his requisition upon tho president
for Xeely.
Announcing tho court's conclusions on tho
status of Cuba Justice Harlan said: "Thn
fncts abpvn detailed mako It clear that
Cuba Is foreign territory within tho mean
lng of tho act ot Juno t, 1900. It cannot bo
legarded In any constitutional, legal or In
ternational sense a part of the territory of
tho United States. Whllo, by tho act of
April 25, 18SR, wnr was declared between
this country and Spain, tho president was
directed and ompowcred to uso our entire
land and naval forces, as well as tho mllltla
of tho several Htates to such extent as waa
necessary to carry the act Into effect "
That authorization was not for tho purpose
of making Cuba nn Integral part of tho
United States, but for the purpose, ot com
polling tho relinquishment by Spain of its
authority and government In that Island
and the withdrawal of Its forces from
Cuba and Cuban waters. Tho legislative
nnd executive branches of the government
liv the Joint resolution of April 20, istiS,
oxprcBsely disclaimed any purpose to oxer
dsn sovereignty, Jurisdiction or control
over Cuba, "except for the pacification
thereof," and asserted tho determination
of thn United. States to leavo tho govern
meat and control of Cuba to Its own poo
pp. All this that has been dono In rcla
tlon lo Cuba has had that end In view and
so far as tho court Is Informed by tho pub
Ho history of Ihe relations of this cnun
try with that Island nothing has been dono
Inconsistent with tho declared object of tho
war with Spain,
Culm Ik l'orcliiii Territory.
"Cuba Is nono tho less foreign territory
within tho meaning of tho act of con
gress because It Is under a military gov
ernor appointed by and representing tho
president in tho work of assisting tho In
habitants of that island to establish a gov
ernment of their on, under which, as a
free nnd Independent people, they may con
trol their own affairs without Interference
by other nations, Tho occupancy of tho
Island by troops of tho United States was
tho necessary result of tho war. That re
sult could not have been avoided by the
United States consistently with the princi
ples of International law or with its obll-
watlons to tho people ot Cuba. It Is true
that as between Spnln and tho United
States, as, Indeed, bctwoen tho United
States nnd nil foreign nations, Cuba, upon
tho cessation of hostilities with Spain, and
after the treaty of I'arls, was to be treated
as If It were conquered territory. I3nt as
between tho United States aud Cuba that
Island Is territory hold In trust for tho In
habitants of Cuba, to whom t rightfully
belongs, and to whoso exclusive control It
will be surrendered when n stato govern
ment shall have been established by their
voluntary action,"

by M

mcstic affairi
ns shown In the
recent letter
Cardinal Rich
ard, the urchMshop oBTijs, dealing with
tho proposed bill of thcT premier, M. Wal-
dcck-Kousscnu, known as (ho law of tho
associations and aiming at tho suppression
of religious communities, In which tho pon
tiff defended tho religious order.
M. Sctnbjt asked the government to pro
test against this letter. M. Ulbot, the
former premier, defended tho pope, whom,
he said, was entitled to raise his volco whon
he thought religious Interests were In peril.
Tho statement called forth cheers from the
rightists r.nd centrists. When the vote was
taken tho government was sustained 310 to
110.
Tho debate started with an explanation
by M. Waldcck-Rotissrau, who said the gov
ernment saw no threat In the pope a letter
as to missions In tho cast.
"Tho letter of his holiness," continued
the premier, "simply Bald that If the French
missionaries disappeared they would be re
placed by foreign missionaries.
"Tho government will not tolerate the or
ganization of resistance ngalnst the laws
of tho country. No Interference on the pHrt
tho popo will bo allowed, when It ts
voted upon. Tho pope has rights as the
spiritual head of Catholics, but the Btatc
also lias rights, written In the concordat,
which It will see respected."
This declaration rallied around tho gov
ernment all tho leftists and centrists, who
voted approval of the pcrmlir's declara
tion by I -'I to 95 and conlldcnco In his
firmness to assuro tho defense of the rights
of tho state.
Thn chamber then adopted a resolution
embodying both paragraphs
othor rxlreml8l motions.
ono proposing
tho separation of church and state and an
other proposing to denounce tho concordat,
wero rejected by overwhelming majorities.
Thn chamber wns crowded with deputies and
notablo visitors In thn expectation that
tho debate on the law of associations would
bo begun. Today's results have greatly
olatcd thn ministerialists, who declare that
It presages victory for tho law of associa

NEW YORK, Jan. 14. Tho Kvcnlng Post
has tho following: Androw Carneglo today
hlmsolf nrOrmed the denial of the stories
which wero current yesterday to the effect
Jhat J. P. Morgan.jnd others were prepar
ing to'l.tiy 'Iho Carneglo Steel company. Un
til Mr. Carneglo mado this statement It wns
still relieved In many quarters that tho
first step had been taken toward uniting all
ot tho Btecl companies of tho country un
der ouo so-called "community of Interests,"
under tho plan recently followed by Mr.
Morgan and his assistants In tho railroad
world.
"Havo these interests mado any concerted
movement to ncuuiro tho Carneglo proper
ties?" nsked a reporter of Mr. Crancglc.
"Xone," Mr. Carneglo snld.
"Is thero any truth whatovcr In tho
story that the J. P. Morgan Interests aro
preparing to buy out tho Carneglo Steel
compnny nnd form a general combination
with others in tho trade?" It wns naked
again.
"Nono that I know of," answered Mr.
Carnegie. "Tho idea Is In tho air, aB with
tho railroads, but It Is only nn Idea. What
a combination It would mako!"
"Is tho Carneglo Steel company In nny
senso on tho market, or Is It satisfied with
tho cxlBtlng situutlon and prepared to do
business on Its own terms?"
Mr. Carneglo said: "It Is not on the mar
ket. It 1b prepared to do business, of
course, but always In n friendly co-opora-tlon
with others. It Is not an aggressive
or n quarrclsomo concern."
"Is not continued competition among tho
steel men moro dcslrablo In tho public In
terest?" "1 sco no reason to believe" snld Mr. Car
neglo "thnt competition In any business
can bo permanently prevented unless by
patent or control of raw materials. Even
tho railroads will soon quarrel nnd the
gentlemen's agreements go to pieces. This
is human nature."
In reply to tho question whether tho
American steel works were not profitable
cnouah now to insure proper returns to
compnnles properly capitalized and man
uged, without competition, Mr. Carnegie
said:
'Just now, yes. It Is prosperous, nut
steel Is cither a king or a pauper. It Is
tho jumplng-Jack of business."

MXCOLX. Jan. 14. -(Special.) Xcbrafka'
eight electoral votes were cast today offi
cially for William McKlnley for president
nnd Theodore Konsovvlt fnr vlco president.
This concluding act In the redemption of
tho stato registered by thn voters at tho
November election took place In Iho gov
ernor's office, where the electoral collcgo
convonrd, with a few spectators present.
Tho proceedings were purely formal, as all
tho documents, certificates ami so forth had
been carefully prepared In advance, and
tho ballot disclosed a unanimity nf senti
ment thnt could scarcely bu Improved upon.
After voting for president and lco presi
dent, tho collcgo took a recess without se
lecting tho messenger, mooting again for
that purposo at the hotel In Iho afternoon.
Thn nrrangement that had been perfected,
whereby nil eight electors wero to go In a
body to Washington, did not take tho gin
ger out of ihn canvass for messenger. Tho
question wns scroti!)' discussed whether thn
choice should fall to the best speaker, to
the handsomest mnn, to tho oldest, to iho
shortest, or to the tallest.
Although soveral randldalea pulled nut of
tho rare, It developed Into a light between
Mr. Xesblt nnd Mr. Ilarton, with a persist
ency In tho voting that for u long tlmo
looked tl.irntcnlng. As nn Indication of
ii senatorial deadlock, the performance ot
Xcbrnskn's electoral college closely ap
proached tho limit. After thirty-seven bal
lots hnd linen rnst, some open, somo secret,
a recess was declared for twenty minutes
truce, with nn apparent North Platte and
South Plnttn Ilne-up. On re-convening, Ihe
thirty-eighth bnllot was called, with the re
sult of 5 votes for .Dor ton and 3 for Nes
bit, and Ilarton was on motion duly de
clared unanimously elected.
Thn only perquisite attaching lo Iho
position of messenger Is the mllrago nl
lownncc, nmountlng for Nebraska to about.
$300, which will probably bo dovnted to
tho expenses of tho entire party. Tho of
ficial certificate, of which a copy Is hern

to Washington by mall, one sent lo .ludgo
Mungor of tho federal court tor this dis

by tho official messenger, who will deliver
It In person to Ihn president of tho sen

HnltotliiK for Senator,
Sometime tomorrow each houso of tho
legislature will lake ono ballot for United
States senator. Tho law does not specify
tho exact hour at which tho voting Hhall

previous to adjournment, aud need not bo
simultaneous in both houso nml senate.
motion will bo mado to procceil lo ballot
for United Stntcs snnntnr and when It car
ried tho clerk will call tho roll nnd tho
presiding officer nnnouuen the result. Un
less soma chnngn In mado In thn program
each member will respond with two nnmci,
designating which hn prefers for long
nnd which for short term. That was prac
tlcally determined at a meeting nf tho prin
cipal cnndldates this morning to confer on
preliminaries, nt which, how over, no other
material progress wns made. Tho meet
ing Wcdnesdny In Joint session to tako
tho second ballot must bo held under tho
law In tho hall of tho houso nf reprnsonln
tlvca at 12 o'clock noon aud tho legislators
can then tnko ns many succcsslvo ballots
an they wlnh. As u rule, In Joint session
tho roll of tho senate Is called llrst aud
then tho roll of tho houso, although two
years ago an lnnovutlon wna sprung by
making up n new roll of both together In
ntphnhntlcal order, mixing senators nnd
representatives In hopeless confusion.
Sometimes tho order of voting might cut
n considerable figure, but In this Instanco
it Is not likely to make any dlltcrenco to
any candidate.
On tho outside tho activity of tho anil
Thompson brigade In making Itself morn
manifest. Hern In Lincoln they havn
started n now paper called the Dally Cap

for free distribution, filled with rnprlnted
nowspaper comment attacking Mr. Thomp

tions wero nlso in from Cass nnd Oton
counties to cmphnslzo tho local sentiment
In tho enrs nf thn representatives from
those districts. Captain Will Hnyward,
son of tho lato Senator Hayward, was among
the lafter and circulated quite frocly among
tho former friends of his father.
Ilepiihllenn MemlierN Caucus.
Tho republican members held a prelim
inary caucus tonight, but tho only progress
mado was tho nppolntment ot a committee,
consisting of thrno senatorH and six rep
resentatives, to fnrmulatn rules nnd con
ditions to govern caucua voting. Senator
Frank Murtln presided ns chairman nnd
Representative Andrews acted as socro
tary. About sixty membcra attended,
At tho suggestion of Senator Young ills
cusslon relative to tho various conditions
previously proposed was postponed until
after tho commlttco reports tomorrow
evening, when the next general caticui
will bo held. On motion of Senator Stcolo,
tho chairman was authorized to namo thn
rules committee nnd the following worn
chosen: Senators Steele, Owens nntl
Young and Representatives Scars, Lnflln,
McCarthy, Mockolt, Whltmoro nnd Mead.
Tho rules committee met nfter tho cau
cus and organized, hut adjourned without
arriving at any agreement othor than to
meet again tomorrow night at 7 o'clock.
Senator Steelo was mado chairman nnd
Senator Young, secretary. On Informal
discussion It. was agreed that nn attend
anco of sixty-seven members should hn

objection was offered to a two-thirds voto
to govern, but neither proposition wna
formally agreed upon.
