with a high ± Jortuguoso official on the rola

himself as hopeful that an amicable under
standing would bo reacted between the tw
countries upon all the points of dlsputx
touching African possessions , which liav
caused so much Irritation during the pastfov
mouths. Such an understanding would
in his opinion , have a most salu
tary effect on the domestic poll

nn end to all talk of an Ibcrinn federation fo
defensive and offensive ) purposes , and woult
make impossible the double revolution ii
Spain and Portugal for which euthuslastl
rcpubllcnnsbnvo thought the times were rap
idly ripening and which was to end In i
union of tbo two conntrles , as a powerfu
Spanish-Portuguese republic. The ndvau
tagcs accruing to England by the propose !
understanding would bo of sunicicnt import
nrico , the Portuguese official thought , to Jus
11 fy that country in refraining from furtho
insistence on n complete settlement of the ot
noxious claims.

business. It consists of three men one each
from tbo thrco parties. Those men nro
elected for flvo years. They are
Thurman , Hrauthoff and Rogers. Thl
board has absolute power. There
s no appeal from its decisions any more than
thcro Is from n decision of tbo United States
supreme court.
'Hereafter , If a player thinks ho bos not
jeen treated justly , ho can net Independently

A SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY HADE ,

Itclng Analyzed.
Neb. , Jan. 19. [ SpecialTelegram
to Tun 13r.K.J At midnight lust night the
remains of Mr. Sbccdy were exhumed
nnd removed to an undertaking estab
lishment , where nn autopsy wns held
this morning unaor the direction of
Coroner Holyoke , by six physlclaus. It had
been supposed by Drs. Ilaro and Everett ,
the physicians who waited on him , that
Shcody hart died from the effects of the
blow received on his head , and they told the
newspaper men and friends of the deceased
that death was caused by n bemorrhago
of ouo of the bloud vessels nt tbo base
of the bwlu caused by the blows
received. This the physicians evidently
bclloved. la the autopsy today a
careful examination was first made of the
brain. The physicians wore astonished to
find no evidences of a clot or rupture of any
deed vessel whatever In any portion of the
iraln. The 'fact was then forced upon tbo
octors making the autopsy that 9hooJy was
ot killed from the effects of the blow.
This discovery has created a profound son-
ation.
The contents of tlio stomach of tbo mur
dered man nro being analyzed nt the stnto
university , and the result of this investiga
tion will not bo known bqforo tomorrow. The
body was embalmed , but not long enough to
"invo the fluid affect the contents of the
tomnch.
The coroner's Jury mot again this afternoon
anil held a secret session as usual. Tuo wit
nesses were examined. Monday McFarland ,
the negro employed to murder Shcedy , and
. Harry Waistrom , the young dude who Is
under arrest on the charge of being a party to
, uo conspiracy.
Wnlstrom denied having been criminally
ntlmato with Mrs. Shcedy , but admitted
; hat he hatLbccn out with her after night by
iippolntment. IIo also admitted having car
ried on a correspondence with her. IIo knew
that Detective Malone had found out who
had carried the amatory epistles between
him and Mrs. Shcody.
A visit wns then made to Walstrom's room
n the Hcaten block , on O street , but a thor
ough search failed to reveal any of the let
ters. It U behoved that they had been de
stroyed.
Monday JIoFnrlnnd was then put on the
statfd and the Jurors were astonished to hear
him reiterate the very same confession that
ho made to the mayor , max-shal and a , number
of policemen yostorany. After testifying
McFarlaud was taken to the county Jail.
J. J. Stopnoy and Harry Cowtcr had been
arrested to appear ns witnesses. Stepney
was the man with whom McFurloud ex
changed coats twenty minutes before the at-
teaiptedinurdor.
The murder of Sheody and tbo discovery
of the devilish plot is still tbo all-absorbing
toplo of conversation in this city. Without
nicFarland's confession of haviaglaldin wait
for Sboedy for tno purpose of braining him ,
there was. , enough jovldonco gathered by De
tective Malonc' and ilaralial Tvlellcli to con-
.Viet him , they having traced him .directly to.
the homo of Mr. Shcedy wlthlu ten minutes
after tho.ossault. At first McFarland claimed
that the cano with -which the murder was
committed was bought for a cnstomcr of his
who had loft for the Black Hills , and ho gave
a very close description of the imaginary fol
low. After McFarlnnd bad confessed his
full connection with the crime ho was asked
how be had given such a complete descrip
tion of a man who had never existed.
McFarland then admitted that this descrip
tion was gotten up by Mrs. Shcedy and she
had akon great pains In teaching It to hi in.
Another suspicious circumstance is the nl-
logod fact that the female domestic at Mr.
Shecdy's homo was sent away at noon on the
day of the murder , and was given permis
sion to stay until midnight If she wished.
The girl has boon notified to appear before
tbo coroner's Jury.
At present Mrs. Shcedy Is the central ob
ject of interest. She lias lea an eventful
career , although she Isstlll young. Although
yet under thirty she has boon married three
times. Her first husband's iimno wns Mc-
Cool , nnd the fellow whllo she wns living
with him was sentenced to the penitentiary ,
at Joliet. 111. , for forgery. She then married
a stonemason named Merrill , Shortly after
wards she came with Merrill to Lincoln.
This was in 1880. A few months later Mer
rill loft his wlfo hero whllo ho went back to
Illinois , and It Is said that It was during this
absence that she became intlmato with
Shcody , who afterwards secured her a di
vorce , and it Is reported , paid Merrill consid
erable money to stay away from Lincoln.
Considerable comment bus been caused hi
the fact that no money can bo found bolonu-
ing to Shecdy. There Is not even n cent to
bis credit in any of tbo banks.
VVnlstrom raises a great objection to his
being locked up In a cell when ho claims
that ho is Innocent of any connec
tion wltb or knowledge of this crime.
On his hand was found a diamond ling belonging -
longing to Mrs. Shcedy. . This was first Iden
tified by Detective Malono. vValstrom has
told two different stories about tbo rinu-
flrst , that ho got the ring in Buffalo. N. Y. ;
nnd second , that a cypriuu bore In love with
him let him wear It.
Mrd. Sheedy has not been taken to Jail and
will not bo , but will instead enjoy the hospi
tality of Marshal Mollck's ' homo until her pre
liminary examination is held.

THE COXIEST.
The Independents Deckle Upon Their
Programme.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Jan. 19. [ Special Tele
gram to THE BEK. ] "What nro they going
to doi" is the question everybody Is asking
about the gubernatorial contest which will
begin at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The
ovidcnco taken before ttio notaries tills thou
sands of pages. To read It all will take
wcclcs , enacting nn enormous expense ,
and perhaps defeating much legislation
demanded by the alliance. If the testimony
Is not all read , how will the hearing bo
shortened , aud who will determine what tes
timony shall bo received ) If the hearing Is
limited , what will bo the limit ?
Ihcso nro the leading questions , nnd until a
very late hour tonight no Bntlslnctory
or reliable answer could bo given. The Inde
pendents nro the attaching party , nnd tha
opposition Is waiting for them to show their :
hand. Two caucuses nave been In session ,
and the notel lobbies liavo been full of men
anxiously seeking Information nliont the
programme for the contest. The republican-
doraocratloconforcncu had no dollnito news
it the line of action agreed upon In tbo camp
if the enemy , mid us the opposition policy Is
i defensive ono the conference ndjourncd
ivlthout deciding on its plans for the cam *
patgn. However , the matter was rc-
'crred to a committee of live , who ace
expected to learn the plans of the Indcpond-
jnts nnd before morning formulate n line of
o-so. The committed have gone Into ses
sion at midnight.
la the Independent caucus It was decided ,
.hat a conclusion in the gubernatorial con
test snould bo reached by next Satur
day , if It were possiolo to bring It about.
: t wns agreed that each sldo shall have two
days In which to Introduce testimony and
present Its case. This will take until Fri
day , and on Saturday ouch sldo Is to have
thrco hours to innko an argument , pre
sumably by attorney. Thcro wns some
talk of limiting the hearing to thrco
days , but that proportion was overruled In
the Interest of so-cnlh-d fairness , There Is
also talk cf holding night sessions during the
hearing. The gubernatorial contest will bo
tried llrst and no other business will bo al
lowed to Interrupt. The contest for the other
executive olllcos Is expected to follow
Immediately , The republicans and demo
crats will object to this nummary proccodiug
anil will try to got a longer hearing. They
will Insist that to gain a correct measure of
the fllmsinoss of the testimony It should
ho road and tha cnso should not
be tried on a garbled and colored
brief made up by paid attorneys. The. oppo
sition are inoro conlldcnt tonight than ever
that there are enough fulr minded independ
ents to ntand with them In the demand for a
square deal. Tht > light tomorrow morning
will nrobubly bo over n motion to limit the
hearing as outlined nbovo.
If the Independent ! ! carry out threats made
during the past few days they will enforce a
gag rule to squelch this nebato. Otherwise
It may take all day to deteriulno tliw ques
tion. At ono tlmo tonight It was re
ported with some show of credibility
that the independents bad offered a
compromise. It wns proposed to throw out
2bK ( ) naturalized votes nnd unseat Iloyd and
Honton. The republican contostcca would
not listen to ouch n bargain. They nil stand *
or fall together. The independents decided
not to let Governor Boyd have n chance to
veto the concurrent resolution fixing the tlmo
for tomorrow's Joint convention , nnd each
house this afternoon passed unothcKjnotlon
cm body inp the sumo purpose as the resolu
tion ,
Lamb , Strlcklor and Allen ' , the attorneys
for i'owcrs , wcro In clns'o consultation a
good Blinro of the evening , nnd are ex
tremely Imppy over the result of the
Independent caucus. Burrows Issued an
oxtr.1 edition of his paper , In which ho.
denounced every Independent ns a traitor
who would not bow to the decree of the cau
cus. Several members have openly revolted
nnd declared that Uurrows cannot bulldoze
them Into voting ngalnst their better Judge
ments.
It Is an open question whether the prc-
griimmo nmnpcd out by the in dependents
tonight can bo put through , as
the inoro conscientious membero have been
dialing forHomo tlmo under the rcntralnt-
Iniposcd upon thoin by self-constituted load
