LINCOLN' , Nob. , Fob. 1. ( Special to Tnn
Unis. ] There la a growing Impression around
ttio stnto homo that , but llttlo nttotnpt will
be in ado to force tno coritwtf Governor
IJoyd's election , notwithstanding the howl
ing of the dothroncd Burrows. Tlio feeling
\vhlnli the Independents displayed on this
mibjoct In tlio curly days of the legislature
has vanished , niul hi Its placu Ins arisen n
desire to i-ITect the legislation which they
thlnlc has brought them hero. '
Up to ihn muctliig of tlio logisliituro mnny
of the nlllanro pcoplo linuvv IRtloof the man
ner In which tlio lust campaign hud boon con
ducted , save what they gleaned from the
colored reports hi tholr local papers. These
wrejudlceu stories led many to believe Hint
Boyd liiid been elected by fraud and consequently
quently Hint , under no circumstances , should
ho bo seated.
Slncu their arrival here tuny have bad nn
opportunity of investigating the other sldo of
the question and many of them have availed
themselves of the opportunity. The majority
of the Inttor have satisfied thnmsolvos that If
Hoyd was elect oil by fraud it was through
the vote of Douglas county. If the vote
thcro was fraudulent the delegation now rep
resenting that county In the legislature was
not legiilly elected and ought to bo unseated.
The fact Is , however , that they hnvo not
questioned Uiu right of the Douglas dolega-
tlon to their scats.
Tlio Independents begin to see , also , that
the question of contest has alreadv cost thorn
'nearly three weelts of valuable tune , during
which they Itnow they did practically noth
ing in return for the Immense outlay which
they had caused the people. They fiavo not
yet passed a bill In both bouses , and seine
days must elapse before they can hope to sco
such a thing accomplished. They nro now
working with considerable earnestness In the
committee room to multo up for UiH lost time ,
knowing that tlioy will bo held to account for
'
It by those who'wore given to understand
that great remedial legislation was to bo en
acted. To again undcrtnko this contest
would so tnteiTero with the work of both the
committee room and the IcghliiUvo chamber
that the independents would never bo able
to redeem their promises. Such being the
cnio , thn house , In p.xssing the concurrent
contest resolution the other day , which
must now go to the sennto , has washed
Its himds of the troublesome ques
tion mid consigned It to the mercy
of the senate. In this manner
It has relieved Itself of a responsibility which
annoyed it irreatly , and which the sorato , It
is not believed , is afraid to nsiiiiiie. The
latter bod.v contains many intelligent mid
practical nilianco people whoso ideas of right
nnd devotion to the people are not dictated by
caucun. Thcso men , Ills believed , will not
allow three weelts more to bo squandered on
n foolish question while it Is Itnown that
several of them will positively vote to in
definitely postpone its consideration.

The Knl llllil.in Hall meeting *
LINCOLN , Nob. , Fob. 1. [ Special to Tun
HUB. ] The Ueil Ulhbon hall meeting today
was well attended by members of the legist
ture , many of whom were present for the
llrst time. Dlshop SUlnner , who Is always
Kooci natured , and tries very hiird to bo perfectly
foctly fair , told the member * that ho was not
t'oinic to nulldozo the legislature Into passing
prohibition nnd woman suffrage measures , as
had been intimated In Tin : Hun , nnd hoped
they would fcoi free to talk nnd express theh
views , whether favorable or otherwise.
A young drummer named Maxwell got th (
lloor nnd proceeded to severely castigate th <
independents for rofiulnj ; to order n rccouni
of the votes cast for and against the prohlbl
lory amendment.
Ho was followed by Mrs. M , G , King. She
dec-la rod the independents hud no "starch It

cowards though she did not use these term !
for declining to allow woman sulTrugo to bt
saddled upon the party nnd not taking t
stand for statutory prohibition.

Stevens of Kutnn.i , on whoso motion tbo
llll providing for n recount of the votes on
the amendment Was Indefinitely postponed ,
defended bli action. Ho said that prohibi
tionists only desired to kwp up the agitation ;
that they known ? well mho did that n re
count could not possibly clmngo the result ,
mill would entnll a heavy expense upon the
state. "Tho independent- , " said ho , "Lave

neither could they permit women sufl'rngo to

vote upon the measure was In the control of

wrlto to Mrs. John Stevens.
IJlshop Skinner thought It was nbout time
to mljourn , but Kuurcsoutativo Nichols
( Ind. ) of lluftalo nroso and said
ho could not sit sllll nnd hear the
accusations heaped upon his parly.
For one ho did not hellovo the women wanted
to vote , and when they did it would bo tlmo
to conililor this question. Ho said further
that the Independent party had come up
through "groat trials and tribulation. " to
ewer In the legislature , and had enough to
.0 to battle -with Its enemies , nnd could not
alto up discarded Issues to which a largo
n.ijorlty of both men nnd women were
trotigly opposed.
M n. King pot In n question hero nnd ns-
icrtcd thatnino-tcnths of the women wanted
0 vote , anil was met by n Hut contradiction.
iy the speaker , Finally she nslccd , "Why do
on confer upon men the right of suffrage ! "
Nichols replied. "Ilccauso they want It , "

At Hits point the minitlng broke up and the

Ho far not n single Independent who was

Mr. Nowberry's llttlo maximum tariff bill

WASIIINOTON , Fob. 1. The senate Is shap-
Its business with n llrai determination to
adjourn March ) , without leaving behind it
anything extra for an extra session. This
stecrhip of tbo republican majority has al
ready arranged a programme that would of
Itself occupy the attention of the senate for
two weeks. This arrangement , however ,
is not final , as It must bo formally approved
by the republican caucus , and Is b-jsidos sub
ject to interruption In its working by the ap
propriation bill ,
The fortification appropriation bill comes
up tomorrow as unfinished business nnd the
pension appropriation bill1 } on the calendar
nnd the District of Columbia appropriation
bill , soon to bo reported , will follow in
order. In the morning- hours nn oflort will
be made to pass the Indian depredation
claims bill , nnd sandwiched between the
above named appropriation bills will prob
ably bo the eight-hour bill and the copyright
bill. An attempt Is also being made to sc
cure action upon the house bankruptcy bill.
Although the house has been engaged prac
tically the whole nnst wcelc in consideration
of the regular annual appropriation bills ,
these measures nro Mill in nn unusually
onckward stnto and It Is tlio intention of the
majority to permit substantially no legisla
tion except the ahlpplng bill to cngao atten
tion until the scene of nation on the appro
priations is very generally transferred from
the house to tbo scnato whig of
tlio capltot. It Is the purpose of
the committee on merchant mirlno
to make an effort to call up the Chipping
bill nnd press it to a final vote as soon as the
consular and diplomatic appropriation bill
( now under consideration ) is passed , but In
view of tlio determined opposition heretofore
made to the shipping bill there Is some ques
tion us to the nullity of Its frlciul.4 to carry
out their expressed intention , especially as it
Is almost certain to bo antagonized by ono or
more appropriation bills.
The Indian nnd legislative , executive and
judicial appropriation bills are on the cnlon-
tlar , nwaitiuK action , nnd will bo culled up at
the first favorable opportunity.
Bland anit other slUr men are growing
more restive at the failure of the coinage
committee to net on the silver hill nnd have
announced their determination , If the com-
inittoo docs not settle the matter at the regu
lar mooting on Wednesday , to precipitate the
fight to the floor of the house , without wait
ing for n committee it-port.
Only four weeks and three days remain of
the Flfty-llrst congress and not a single ono of
the thirteen annual appropriation bills hcs
liocn dually passed by both brunches of
congress mid sent to the president. But one
of these bills passed the senate , the army
bill.
While the present condition of the appro
priation bills Is not encouraging ns compared
with tholr stnto of progress in provlous
congresses , no doulitis entertained by inoin-
bors of the house or scnato of the ability of
congress to complete Its necessary legislation
before March .

St , liuynor , counsel for Klngon , fllodn pica
denying the Jurisdiction of the court in his
case , setting forth his forcible ab-
Uietion from Nebraska nnd alleging that the
: onrt had not acquired Jurisdiction to try
lim upon a criminal charge , pleading that ho
uid been deprived of his liberty without due
irocess of law , in contravention of the four-
.ecnth amendment of the constitution of the
United States. The court overruled the
.ilea. Conniel for defendant thereupon
novcil an abatement of the Indictment oa the
ground that tlio statutes of Wyoming deliu-
ng the qualifications of grand nnd pntlt
urors discriminated against thn female citi-
sens of the state nud provided that the mnlo
citizens only were eligible to net a * Jurors ,
ivhlch , ho contended , was In conflict of sec-
ion ! 1 of article 1 of tho-bill of rights of
tVyotnlnp , which is as follows :
Since the equality In thn enjoyment of tia-
iiml nnd civil rights Is made suio only
liroiiph polltleiil equality , lliu laws of this

iialo and funmlo oltl/.ons uf the state shall
equally enjoy all civil , political and religious
Iglils and privllnuu' .
It was argued that under thcjo cUusoj of
the constitution Unit any stututo which dis
criminated agidust fcmtdo citizens acting as
jurors was in contravention of the civil rights
and privileges guaranteed thereinto temalo
citlzohs ; and thnt the territorial statute in
force at the tlmo tlio constitution iiuno into
ITect on July 10 , 1890 , limiting the qualifica
tions of Jurors to male citizens was uncon
stitutional and void , and that the defendant ,
in view of the clauses of ttio Fourteenth
amendment of the federal constitution en
titling citizens of the United States to the
equal protection of the liuvs , and that no
state shall make or ouforco any law which
shall nbriitgo the privileges or immuultioj of
citizens of the United States , nor deprive -
privo any powon of life , liberty or property
without duo processor law , was thereby deprived -
privod of a right and privilege to bo tried
only under a statute which does not conflict
with the stale constitution or its discrimina
tion of these citizens xvho have boon cru.UuJ
in every ruspoct tbo peer of man by the guar
antees iu thi ) enjoyment of all civil , political
anil rolicious rights and privileges. It was
not contended that n defendant was entitled
to a mixed jury of man and woman , but that
he could not bo legally and constitutionally
tried under a statute which discriminated
against und prevented Iho drawing of women
because they were women.
The court overruled the plea In abatement.
The defendant was tried and convicted and
sentenced to eight years' imprisonment.
Mr. St. liuynor is prep.u-ing . u petition in
the case and will proceed directly to the
supreme court of the United States and
pruy for the issuance of u wril
of habeas corpus on the ground
of the forcible abduction thnt the defendant
has boon deprived of his liberty without due
process .if law In violation of the fedora
constitution and laws of the United States.
The decision of the federal court will bo
looked for with great Interest by the loga
fraternity throughout thoentiro country nut
the authorities of the states generally , ns It
has never been passed upon by the supreme
court , and will determine whether iho an
thorltics of n stnto can forcibly abduct a

from sixteen to twelve and providing that in
