LINCOLN , Neb , , March 19. [ Special to Tnn
BEK. ] After the senate had passed file No.
159 this afternoon , there was discovered'
ichemo to force the passage of the Nowborry
maximum freight rnto bill.
The clerk began the reading of the Now-
berry bill , but had scarcely read the first line
of the tttlo before Senator SwiUlcr called at
tention to the fact that a list of the bills on
the bill In question was at the foot of bills on
third reading and could not have precedence
over It. Ho could neb understand how It
could bo called up at that time.
Senator Christollcrson said that ho did not
llko to reflect upon the gentlemanly clerks of
the senate , but ho did not think that they
wore treating the scnato fair in thus dictating
what bills should bo passed llrst.
Senator Mattes then came in , nnd having
boon Informed of what had been discovered ,
expressed himself with a great deal of force.
Ho said that the list ho had taltop was ob
tained from tlio books of the bill clerk mid
that no ofllcor liad authority to depart from
it. That matter had been decided by a vote
on a motion by Senator Moore , which di
rected the clerk to prepare and maintain n
list of bills on Renoral llln and third rending.
Ho would object to the reading of any bill
other than that In regular order.
Senator Poyntcr said that the secretary
had been Instructed to maintain only a list
of bills on general Hie. They had kept no
record of bills on passage and measures were
readjust ns tlio occasion directed.
The chair said that that was Uls recollec
tion.
tion.Senator
Senator Moore said that the chair was mis
taken , nnd that the record Would show that
to bo the case. Ills motion affected both
bills on general file nnd third reading. The
Hit had not been kept for several days past ,
and was not on the board oven to-day.
Senator Mattes again ilnracd , and said that
the list given him by tbo clerk was a bill of
his own , which lintl been recommended for
passage several days ngo. Ho certainly
would 'protest against the reading of the
Nuwborry bill in advance of ills own.
Senator 1'oyntor rose to a point of order.
The clerk having started the reading of the
bill , no motion could bo entertained except to
amend or recommit.
The chair said ho thought the point was
ucll taken ,
Then Senator Moore actually cot rod in the
face. Would the chair say that , because
only a part of the tltio had been read , that
the whole of the mcasuro had to bo gnno
through with ? How could they knbw what
the bill was without hearing the titlol How
much earlier could they protest against tbo
reading than they bad already tlonoj
Tbo chair llnally said that the secretary
had informed him that practically only the
number of tbo bill had been announced , nnd
that ho would Insist upon the reading of the
bills as tliov stood on the 11 lo as tno only
means of doing Justice to the senator ) ,
The secretary accordingly proceeded with
another bill when Senator Stevens toso and
smilingly Insisted that his maximum rate bill
bo read , because It was really the flrat now
on third reading ,
This provoked considerable merriment
among the lnde [ > ondcntH , who full that they
had gotten oven with nntl-maximum rate
men.
men.Tho reading of Stevens' maximum rate bill
was accordingly commenced nnd proceeded
with lu the presence of empty chairs till the
close.
Suddenly Senator Slovens arose and moved
that thd bill bo recommitted to the committee
ofitho whole.
Senator Switrlor moved for a call of the
house. The call was made Senators Chns-
tofforson , iay ) , Thomas and Wilson wore ab
sent. The sorgcant-at-arms was ordered to
bring in the missing ones.
Senators Thomas nnd Christofforson made
tholr appearance and wore required to offer
an excuse for their absence. ScnntorThomas
said ho thought ho had a llttlo time to snare
and stopped out for a minute or two. Sen
ator ChrlstolTorsoii said bo had served in the
chair'for nearly two hours and felt that ho
t.eodcd a rest and had goneup to the judiciary
committee room.
"Did the gentleman sav ho wont up to the
enrolling and engrossing room 1" asked the
chair. [ Laughter ] .
"No , sir. I said the Judiciary committee
room. " said the senator.
The ozcuscs were accepted ,
Aftrr a delay of some minutes , Senator
"Woods moved that further action under the
call of the house bo dispensed with. The
motion prevailed.
Senator Slovens then renewed his motion
nnd tlio bill was ordered recommitted to the
committee ol the whole.
Senator Moore moved to adjourn , but the
independents voted the motion down. The
scnato then considered bills on third reading.

Answer Sot Up to the Claims of Gov
ernor Boyd's Counsel.
, LINCOLN , Nob. , March 19. [ Special to THE
BEK. ] A coudunsod and tabulated brief was
fllod by John M , Thayer today In tbo quo
\varranto proceedings. The brlof states the
leading arguments and cites authorities for
the sarao. The arguments presented are :
The naturalization of Joseph Boyn , the
father , In 1890 , did not have the effect of mak
ing James K. Boyd a citizen of the United
States.
The naturalization of Joseph Boyd , In 1890 ,
did uot tnado Juntos K. Boyd a citizen by re
lation.
James E. Boyd being ineligible , no suc
cessor U ) John M. Thayer was elected , for the
reason that the oleotlon was a failure and
void.
void.Tho
The Inollglbllity of James E. Doyd relates
to the election and mnkes the election void.
No successor can bo ald to bo elected und
qualified unless the person voted for was
eligible to bo dented and had nil the legal re
quisites to bo elected and was qualified to bo
elected ,
Unless If the foregoing prerequisite of an
election of a governor have taken place , the
lieutenant governor is not authorized to as
sume thu oftlco of governor , but John M.
Thayer continues to hold over.
All that part of the answer relating to the
doings and privileges oxorclsou ny Jamas K.
Hoyd. sucli as. voting at election and holding
onicoa does not make him n citizen.
The court has authority by quo-warranto
to Inquire into the eligibility of James 10.
Boyd , and it is not necessary to refer this
matter to the loglulaturo. tf
John M. Thayer was not required toquatlfy
anqw , until It lias boon ascertained by ttiw
litigation that James K. Boyd is Ineligible to
the oftlco.
James E. Hey a cannot claim citizenship bv
virtue of tbo treaty of Purls of 1803 for the
purchase of the Louisiana territory. Article
U of the treaty of cession only had reference
to the than Inhabitants of the territory coded ,
The claim that bcc-.tion & of thu enabling

itants of the territory , on tno admission of
the state into tlio union , clU/eus of the
United States is not toaablo. It had nothing
to do with cltlzcnshln. The admission of a
territory Into the u n fan ns a state has nuvor
bcou held to naturalize aliens therein. There
is no recortl of any such claim or adjudica
tion.

The averment in the answer upon informa

completed bis naturalization before October ,
18.11. does not rulso an Issue upon which proof
can bo tnlcon , and In subject to demurrer.

Cable--Special to Tin : no.J--'llio Herald
correspondent , who hits'boon investigating
.ho Huttluger mystery , found today Mr ,
LoiiRhton , receiving teller at the London
ind Westminster bank , who Is a brother-ln-
aw of U'rlght , and with whom the latter re
sided many years before ho \ \ cutaway. Mr.
. .ougliton made tlio following statement :
"Mrs. Ruttlngur Inn not gone away , or
occn spirited away mysteriously , as sug
gested by some papers. Mrs. Uuttinger is
low in London but Is ill consequent upon the
news of the tmirdor of heir husband. Her
whereabouts will not bo disclosed at present.
[ had n letter from both Hutttiigor and young
Wright some ) tlmo ago saying that business
was not very bright with them , and that
ihoy would not wrlto again for r.omo tlmo us
Lhev were going to tbo far west. I
very uiuctj doubt that Wright nnd livans ,
the .Astor house suicide , are one
and the Mime , but I believe the identity is
that of Uuttinger. That Wright bos not
been hoard from Is not so rem-irkublo in the
light of hu lust letter , in which ho said he
might not rninmuiilcato for some tlmo. 1 tind
young Wright living with me for some joars
und 1 ciinnot believe that he would commit
murder. Ho was small nnd slight , and not at
all strong. Kultinircr was it bit ; , powerful
man , and rather athletic.
Key & Cnrtwrlght of txithburg , formerly
lawyers to the Bank of England , are the soli
citors to the lluttinger and Wright fumilloa
and have known the latter family f.or over
thirty years. The head of the llrm bald : "I
um well acquainted with the hlbiory of his
family nnd forwnrdod an epitome thereof to
my representative , Air. Sowaril. The
facts throwing any light nn the
case nro truly these : Mrs. Huttlncor
loft Hamburg for London sonio weeks bof ore
he sailed for America , and not after ho had
gouo as lias boon s > Utcd. They wcro not
upon very friendly terms , the cause being
principally incompatibility of tomper. " Ho
went on to say mat the Wrights had all como
I n to ,1 certain amount of property und th.it
ho apprenticed young AVrlgnt to a diamond
cutter , paying the latter a good premium ,
but Wright was of a roving disposition and
was released from the indentures by the sui
euto of his employer. He then joined Hut-
tlngcr and invested his iiionpy an hiu busi
ness. Huttintrcr had been provision mer
chant , but failing took up the lace and fancy
trado. In this ho was not much of a suc
cess , for ho lost his own and Wright's money ,
although tbo .statement In the law
yer's ' own words wcro peculiar : "Well ,
ho lost it in his business , or
lot ns say a greater portion of it. " The in-
feroiH'O Is thut ho kept some of it beildos
what ho lost In his business. They both
wrote saying that thihgs had gone wrong
and that'thoy would go out west. The im-
prestton given by the lawyers is that Hut-
tlnpcr was not a very nlco man to deal with.
They do not bellovo that young Wrijlitisino
suicide of the Astor house , and they have
today scntofl to their agents in New York
two handkerchiefs marked " \V , W. " in largo
red letters , and ono embroidered in white.
Thcso aio the same kind that Wriglit took
with him and mav assist In tholduntllleutinii.
Tboy say that wcro Itnot tluit Mrs. Huttlngci
Is too ill they would bring her to Now York
to view the dead bodies. U is not true that
Huttlngcr was In London before ho sailed for
America. His wlfu was staying nt Morton ,
but blncn being pestered by reporters slio bos
como into London.
Both lawyers and Loughtou arc Indignant
at the statement that Mrs Ruttlngor know
anything about her husband's Insurance.
They positively assert that ho was not in-
hurcd with her knowledge and , must have
taken out n policy either from an agent in
Now York or In Berlin. Any ono wno knows

his becoming desperate and committing a

Hues were given for the amount of frol lit

Mr Walker was unable to answer.
Governor Boles asltod what rate of Interest
tbo road .should bear when the water is all
squeezed out of tbo stock. Air.Valkor
thought it should l > o somewhere between (1 (

know If it would bo fair to llnd out ttio average -

that \\oulil pay Interest on. Then supposing
that all property Is assessed ono-thinl , would

It bo fair to' assess the amount thus ootulned

interest upon the funded debt nnd dividends
upon the capital stock.
Mr. Ashby : "You then regard your road
north Its full capitalization I"
Mr. Mulligan replied thut ho didn't ' mean
to infer anything as to the worth of tbo roid.
As managers they had to make tbo earnings
or be dismissed. Ho took up the gross In
come theory as the proper ono , and stated
that y per cent upon gross Incomes was the
proper rato. Ho said they paid 4 per cent in
Wisconsin and found It tbo buidcnsoino , but 1
bad submitted to it to escape a more onerous
law imposed by a granger legislature.
Throe' per cent will leave the tax stand as
it now is.
