THE POINTS IN HIS BEHALF A CUloi taat tae Peeleloa Is at Tai With tbe CmiImm DnWn rf tk. Ceart "rrevloaelv aaIrd la tae Ssae Caee. Lincoln dispatch to the Omaha Bee: Attornej-s acting for the respondent in the case of the state against Mayor Frank E. Moores this morning filed a motion for rehearing before the su preme court. The petition sets forth five paints npoa which" ground for a rehearing Is based, and is attended by a brief showing the virtne of each point raised. The first argument advanced is that the judgment rendered, in respect to a question of constitutional interpre tation, is contrary to the opinions of two justices and two commissioners and overrules the unanimous decision of the court upon the same question, without a hearing thereon. The brief explains that by a unanimous decision of the court, filed December 9. loi7. the term "collector and custodian" was interpreted to mean what it says with the ordinary significance to the word "and." In tie concurring opinion in the present case it is admitted that respondent is not a "custodian." with in the meaning of the constitution, but it reads the phrase as thoueh i were written, "collector or custodian." The claim is advanced that respondent was not both a "collector and custo dian" of public money. It is developed in the second point that the quo warranto proceedings to oust respondent assume his default as "collator and custodian." which fact should have been adjudicated before the proceedings could toe entertained. If the respondent was ineligible to be elected mayor on April 20. 1S97. it was because his disqualification was, in contemplation of law, in fr" force without any previous trial or judg ment of 'court. It is held therefore that the court cannot inflict a retroact ing: penalty for the purpose of jnstl iying a wri? of ouster in this proceed inc. Points three and four recite that the judgment is baed upon an alleged offense which is penal in its nature and therefore the decision violates the right of respondent, guaranteed by thp constitution, to a trial by jury of the otfens" with which he stands charged. The reference of the case is said to be wholly unauthorized and in violation of the Cede of Civil Pro cedure. The vital question is urged that Mayor Moores has a right to a hearing in court before he shall be ousted in such a proceeding. To "oust Frank E. Moores from the office of mayor, the brief adds, "in a quo war ranto proceedings which presupposes his guilt is like taking a man to the penitentiary and trying and convict ing him after he is inside the prison walls." Authorities from other states are adduced to show that such a pro ceeding is unprecedented. The final appeal for a rehearins is based uxxm general facts in the case. Resoectful protest is made against the language adopted by the court, in which the arguments in behalf of the respondent are sneered at and charac terized as pathetic appeals. It is urged That the case is too serious in its ef fect upon the respondent and upon the citizens of Omaha to justifv anything but the gravest consideration at the hands of the court. If the opposing counsel had made such comments upon the ev'dence." the brief adds, "we should insist upon it to the court that counsel were begging the question and were jriving the mere items of evidence circumstances offered to prove ulti mate facts the value of the ultimate facts themselves."

"When it comes down to a question of showing fruit in endless varietiea of excellent quality says the Omaha Bee, Nebraska seems to have been successful so far as the opinion of the judges go. Yesterday morning- Superintendent Youngers re ceived notice from the Department of Exhibits of the Exposition that the state had walked off with seven gold medalF. seven silver medals, five bronze medals and honorable mention in two instances. In addition to all these medals, there Is another thing which pleases Superintendent Youn pts much more, and that is that the committee on awards has given the state a special diploma, the only one issued the Horticultural section. This is a spcial diploma for the largest and best kept exhibit in the building. Not -satisfied with doing tbls. the judges went still farther and Ordered a gold medal on the entire collection simply on account of its magnitude and con dition. Then the. state Horticultural society that made its showing in September, is given a gold medal oa the exhibit made at that time, which the judges have designated as the best collection of fruit made by any oae group of counties.

He then entered upon a dis cussion of the question of territorial expansion, saying that, while the cam- ' naign should have been waged on state issues. Colonel Roosevelt had forced the annexation issue by declaring that his election wocid be nn indorsement of the policy of keeping all the con quered territory. "Our first duty is to keep our word. to do honestly that which we prom ised, to preserve the character of our ', Spanish war as a war of humanity, and not of aggrandizement, to abstain from that 'criminal aggression' which has been denounced by President Mc- KinW h5mf ,.! .. n ,:;X Jtimey nimseli. and thus to maintain our national honor. Our paramount duty is not to any foreijrn country or people, but to this republic and to the 75.000,000 who inhabit it. Our duty is aobsriy to consider how the annexa tion to the United States of the Span ish possessions or any of them will af fect, not merely the interests of the inhabitants thereof, but the character and the welfare of those 75.000.ooo of cur own countrymen. "The annexation policy will briny into our political system millions of Spaniards, Creoles, negroes. Malays. Chinese, Japanese. Filipinos, Tagals and the savage tribes whose names we have yet to learn, and thus thrust upon as race problems compared with which those we already have on our hands signify little. "Must we bring upon us the constant danger of war, often war for nothing, and burden our people with a measure lessly growing load of armaments? Must we continue to send the sons of the republic to the tropics to be ruined or killed by tropical disease? Must we pay such a terrible price for com mercial facilities which, through sen sible diplomacy, can be secured for nothing? "I solemnly -arn you there is the strongest reason for fearing that, as matters cow stand, nothing can save the republic from being hurled over that precipice, except a vigorous dem onstration of popular feeling against that policy wherever in the present campaign candidates have asked for popular indorsement as imperialists, as. more than anvone else.

The name of the fugitive has fre quently been mentioned in the utter ances of speakers at political mass meetings ia the present furiously ex citing campaign, fend Marsh has par ticularly been the subject of heated controversy between United States Senator Penrose aad John Wahamaker; In a speech a few weeks ago. Sen ator Penrose intimated that John Wan a maker, prior to the failure of the Keystone bank, had knowledge of an overissue of the bank's stock and J !rawl'd' of dnd made by Pres- ident Marsh on City Treasurer Bards ley for fen additional deposit of city funds. Mr. Wanamaker has been vigorously opposing the Republican state ticket, and especially aiming to defeat the re election of Senator Quay to the United States senate. On October 14, a few nights after the speech of Senator Penrose, accus-" ing Wanamaker of having inside I knowledge of the Keystone bank af I fairs, the latter delivered a speech at the Academy of Music. In the course i of his speech, he said: "There is I nothing that will please me so much as !

I will come to him in person in any part of the world and accompany him back." When Marsh waa asked what in duced him to return, he answered: "Mr. Wanamaker's speech at the Academy of Music. I read it in the newspapers. Yes. it certainly did cause me to come back." MARCHAND'S TRICK FAILED. London Charge tbe French OSlecr With Tremehei-r Towanl Kitchener. Loxdos, Nov. i. A story of the greatest gravity, circulating among persons in touch with official quarters, alleges that when Marchand reached J lv " v V. .TZZ K ! three Freach fl5 to the khallfa- Tn UoJa ! a t messenger bore a letter saying that if the khalifa hoisted these flags at Oci durman he would be under tbe protec tion of "the great French nation," and the British would not fire upon him. The khalifa replied that two British "dogs" had attacked Soudan: one "dojr" named Gordon had been killed, while the other "dog." named Kitchener he was about to kill. He would then wipe out the French. Both of these letters and the three flags are said to have been captured by the sir dar's officers. If this be confirmed, it is obvious that public opinion here will be in flamed at the discovery of the fact that a French agent offered protection to the khalifa while the French govern ment congratulated the British gov ernment on a victory for the sake of civilization.

In ad dition to this they want free trade with the United States, and there is no reason that I can see why they should not have it At present they are forced to pay duty on all imported goods. Spanish goods included, which were free before. "Our military government of the island has been far from satisfactory. We destroyed the Spanish military rule and have not replaced it With American forces, thus destroying their safeguards to life and property. As a result of this from 150 to 200 of the finest plantations hate been destroyed by fire. Just who is responsible for this I cannot say. "The infantry there is of very little use in policing the island. We must have cavalry. In addition there should be a civil guard, composed of Porto Bican privates and American oCcers. "There is a great deal of sickness among our troops, but it is due princi pally to the imprudence of the men and not to any neglect of the officers of heads of departments." General Stone will advise the estab ment of an electric railroad system throuzhout the islands. MODEST GENERAL KITCHENER Credit for tbe Soedaac Sucre. Shifted to Lord Cromer Losdox, Nov. 3. The streets of the city were crowded all morning with people seeking to witness General Kitchener's triumphal progress to the Guild hall, to receive the freedom of London and the sword of honor, pre .sentad.hiaaja jecoay tioaof hiajla feat of the dervishes of Omdurman. The eeneral was cheered loudly as he drove through the streets. BTe was accompanied by three aids-de-camp. When he reached the Guild hall Gen eral Kitchener took his place oa the dais by the side of the lord mayor, Horatio David Davies. The clerk then read a document setting forth that citizens, one described as a butcher, one as a barber and one as a stationer, had declared the general to be a fit and proper person.
