nu Wonderful 'crte.
Brooklyn, Fob. 'JO. John Y. McKane
was sentenced to six years in state's prison.
"How long will ho got?' was thu ques
tlon which ono heiml everywhere in
Brooklyn this morning. On tho elevated
roads, on the Btrect cars nml on tho side
walks, wherever two or thrco men could
bo seen together, it is safe to nay that
they were talking about tho McKano
case.
At tho courthouse, crowds of anxious
men besieged tho doors of tho courtroom

In keeping them from breaking down tho
doors in thoir anxiety to got In to secure

companied by Shoriff Buttling, entered.

about, talking to his friends, who ono and
all shook him warmly by the hand.
Every one who saw him remarked about
his wonderful nervo and self-possession.
Motion For New Trial Denied.
When Judgo Bartlett took his seat on
the bench Mr. James arose and moved
for a new trial. It was denied. Mr.
James then asked for a stay of execution
of judgment for 20 days to enable tho de
fendant to move on n notice for certifi
cate of reasonable doubt. Mr. Sheppard
said that It would bo better for the de
fendant's counsel to wuit until sentenco
bo pronounced before making this appli
cation. Mr. Sheppard moved for sen
tence to'be passed.
McKane, when asked what ho had to
1 (2T SL
, i say, sold: "I do not know that
' iji uj; w anjrtninjr but what I said on:
l"- A ' , ' during'ruS trial... I havo nevor
say, said: "I do not know that I con say
i tho stand
dono uny-
thing vrong to any ono as far as I know.
I never did anything directly or indirect
ly wrong with regard to the election, nor
did I over counsel any ono else to do any
thing wrong. I again say that I am not
guilty of any offenso ugalnst the law."
Judgo Bartlett then proceeded to pass
sentence, and said: "I do not -feel in
clined to disregard tho recommendation
to mercy mado by the jury. Tho crime
which tho defendant committed wasu
serious ono. That great crimo seems to
be oho that demands an emphatic sen
tence. Tho penalty should bo so sovero
as to express duo condemnation, while
not so sovero as to excito sympathy. Tho
sentence of the court is that tho defend
ant lxs imprisoned in Sing Sing prison for
six years."

dry but is now covered with snow nnd
the attendant moisture will help tho
crop. Some of tho correspondents re
port the crop damaged considerably by

dition Is fair.

FOR A GREATER WYOMING.
Proposition to Attach Nebraska's "Pnn-liiiiiillu-
to That Mate.
Geiunq, Nob., Fob. 20. A special to
The Beo says: A startling proposition,
which has been quietly discussed in tho
western section of tho state, found its
first public expression at tho irrigation
convention of Scott's Bluif and Choyenno
counties, held in this city. It is no less a
schemo than tho annexation of tho terri
tory lying west of tho 'cast lino of Colo
rado, now what is termed tho "pnn
haudlo" of Nebraska, to tho state of Wy
oming. Tho reasons assigned for advocating
such a novel plan aro almost entirely con
fined to the irrigation phnso in its bearing
upon tio future prosperity of tho largo
area involved. Tho claim is mado that
tho greater portion of tho stato of Ne
braska is oblivious of tho great necessi
ties of the semi-arid portion of tho state,
that as a whole there is no sympathy
with the irrigation idea in tho populous
sections of tho state, and that thp west
ern end of tho stato is left entirely to its
own resources to work out its snlvation
as best It enri.-s Thero uro many protec
tive features to tho Wyoming statutes,
and tho advocates of this plan urge it on
the around that the Interests of thissec.
tion of Nebraska aro identical with thoso
of Wyoming, They claim that'from tho
situation of western Nebraska with rela
tion to tho great mineral fields of Wyom
ing, there will bo found tho future mar
kets for irrigated produce, and that it
will bo simply a step toward getting into
touch aa between producer aadconjum&r,
