WASHINGTON , D. C , March ? < . The sonata
today entered on what promises to bo a pro
tracted debate. The report of the com
mittee On privileges and elections In favor
of seating the three sonaUJrs appointed by
the governors of the states of Montana ,
Wyoming nna Washington was called < up
and Mr Pugh delivered a constitutional ar
gument in support of the i > ositlon taken by
the committee.
The dbrusslon that followed was p.irtlci-
jiatcd In by senators on both sides of the
chamber , most of them indicating con
currence with the views of the minority of
the committee , adverse to the admission of
the three senators. The question will como
up again tomorrow.
Mr. 1'uch'n Argument.
Mr Puch. speaking on the question , said :
'The importance of the quest 611 presented
\v 'Uld ' bo conceded as well as the necessity
for a so' jtion of It by the senate that would
bo accepted hereafter in final. Unfortu
nately the decision of the same question
heretofore has been Influenced more or less
by the fact that the governor's appointee
wis a democrat or republican as was shown
by the division of the votes of senators on
party ilnis ' He argued from the debates
in the constitutional convention that the
"rxfslrnce of a vacancy from any cause"
was the crucical test of the power of the
governor to fill the vacancy. Tlie va
cancy "happened , " he argued , if it ex
isted. In illustrating tb ( jiossiblo evils
that might result from prohibiting state
governors to fill vacancies In the sen-
nto , Mr Pugh said that "the force
bill would now be a law If one senator op
posed to it had been kept out of his seat by
the operation of such a rulo. Wor1 senators.
he asked , prepared to establish that rule !
Three or more political parties , he said , ex
isted Dy regular organization in several
states. These parties f.ivored specific prin
ciples and polMes that were fundamental
nnd irreconcilable. Was it i ight in such n
case for the senate to establish the tyranni
cal , arbitrary and inflexible rules that these
parties should surrender their opinions and
convictions , disregard their plcdces and their
fidelity to their constituents , and come to
tome agreement for the election of a seja-
tor ? "
Mr. Hour' * I'oMtlon IHspnteif.
Mr Mitchell , attacking a statement made
by Mr Hoar that the main thing contem
plated b > thcconstitution was that the senate
must bo kept full nil the time , put the case
of a legislature failing to elect n senator and
of a governor refusing to appoint one
Mr Hears reply to that proposition was
that a high public official would perform the
duties of bis , office.
Mr Viltis reminded Mr. Hoar that it had
bocn determined by tlm highest courts in
Ungland and in the United States that
vhenover a public officer failed to i crform a
public dntj with which he had been charged
any citizen had a right to invoke the judicial
tribunals to compel him by mandamus to per
form that duty.
Mr , Gray questioned whether the courts
rould compel n governor to appoint a senator ,
the language of the constitution being that
ho "may" not that ho "shall. "
Mr. Vilas replied that every law.vcr under-
ttood that the word "maj" in a statute im
posing a duty on a public officer always
meant "must. "
Mr. Platt contended that the constitution
rlid not Impose upon the governor of a state
the duty or obligation to appoint a senator.
3'hc discussion in the constitutional conven
tion showed that that was not the meaning
of the word ' -may" as used. On the con
trary the word used in reference to the
governor ivas "may , " while the word "shall"
wns used in reference to the legislature.
The matter then WL-utover until tomorrow.
Mr. Mitchell had the floor to defend the
minority rei > ort.
AroHD lo QucHtlon of Privilege.
Mr. Powers.rlsing to a question of privilege ,
referred to an article in this morning's Post ,
quoting from remarks made atrainst him in
the senate chamber by Senator Turpic , two
or three years ago , when the question of his
right to a scat was pending. Ho said that
his success in the party strife had caused a
competitor to try to vent his spleen on him
throuch the press nnd In every conceivable
manner | K > ssiblo. Out of respect to his
state , the country and the senate , he eonla
not allow those assertions to go without no
tice and ho respectfully courted and de
manded the most careful and thorough in
vestigation by special committee. Ho asked
that the cause of the remarks made by Mr
Turple bo thoroughly looked into. The sen
ator had seen fit to use language towards
him tnat did not become a senator unless ho
could prove at least some of the allegations
made.
Mr. Vest said that he had a very decided
opinion in regard to the matter of asking for
an investigation by n commit too as to news
paper statements. His opinion was that if
the senate wcro to npi > olnt committees to
enter on the Investigation of newspaper
charges against senators In the public press ,
It Tiiight ns well dismiss nil other business
nnd go into that matter exclusively. There
was not a senator in the chamber who had
not been maligned in the public press for one
reason or another
After further debate , Mr. Chandler offered
a resolution referring Mr. Potters' request
to the commiiten on privileges and elections.
Op | > osil to Iti Consideration.
Mr. Gorman suggested that the resolution
go over for the present , and expressed the
hope that the senate would fix n day here
after for the consideration of all such mat
ters. If the senate was going to investigate
transactions which oocurml prior to the
election of senators the matter had better
bo taken up deliberately and nil such cases
brought to the attention of the senate and
disposed of. He therefore suggested that
Mr. Chandler's resolution go over until the
question could bo reached in an orderly way ,
when It could bo disposed of pretty thor
oughly and completely for all time.
Mr. Chandler My resolution does not
provide for an Investigation. It merely
refers the matter to the committee on privi
leges and elections. Does the senator object
to that ?
Mr. Gorman 1 do , for the moment , be
cause wo had better dispose of It after con
sideration.
Mr. Gorman then moved that the senate
proceed to executive business.
The motion was agreed to and after a
bert session the senate adjourned until
tomorrow

WASIIIXOTOS , D. C. , March 29. This was
the most fatiguing day the president has
had since bis Inauguration , nnd he was com
pletely tired out after three hours and a
half talk uith senators , representatives and
offlco seekers. Among the visitors was Mr.
J. .1 O'lJonnelt of Chicago , who is a promi
nent candidate for the office of public prin
ter. He informed the president that tie de
sired the office because he believed that his
long experience ns n practical printer and
binder fitted him for It. He was supjiartcil ,
he said , more largely among business men
than politicians. After he had explained
hN mission to the president , the latter re
marked to him. "Why , you're just the kind
of man I am looking for. "
The dejiartments were thronged with visi
tors today , mostly political , who made up
for the time they were compelled to lose
> e tcrday. The secretaries were practically
unable to attend to their regular depart
mental business. The question tins arisen
as to the expediency of amending the presi
dent's order prohibiting the reception of
visitors at the departments on cabinet days ,
so as to include one or two more daj s of the
week. If today's cxitenencos are repeated
throughout the cek the heads of the de
partments , will have to transact all their
official business on Tuesdays and Fridajs
and surrender the remaining four secular
days of tha week to office seekers and friends.
SKXATOIt KOACM'S
How the Matter l l.ooUinl I'pon by Mem
bers of tlin Scnatp.
WASHINGTON , D C. , Marrh 29. There
were no open developments In the proposed in
vestigation into the record of Senator Uoach
of North D.ikota today. The matter was a
general subject for conversation on the floor
of the senate , anil so far it docs not appear
that party lines have yet been strictly
drawn , although curtain democratic senators
privately indulge In some rather harsh criti
cism of Mr. Hoar's course nnd insist that he
is animated bv political feeling and is scoi-
me to accomplish some party advantage by
pressing his resolution.
On the other hand a few republican sen
ators answer this charge by saying that the
governor of North Dakota would certainly
api > ointa democrat to succeed Mr Hoach
snould lie resign his seat or be forced out ,
and thut if there is anv capital to be made
out of the IJoach case it can be perhaps
more effectually made by his presence in the
senate as a uemocratic senator than by his
withdrawal.
The feeling , which is altogether very un
comfortable on both sides , has been made no
less so by Mr Gorman's implied threat in
th s senate , and conservative senators are
deprecating the initiation of the subject at
tins time in any shape.
Trent. * with Kn Ia.
WASHINGTON. D. C. , March 'Jl > . The senate
committee on foreign relations had a meet
ing this morning , but it is understood that
while being favorable to making public the
text of the Russian treaty , was unable to
agree upon a favorable report by reason of
disagreements relative to the correspondence
accompanjing the convention. A well known
senator who is prominent on account of his
love for fair play and general humanitar
ian legislation , stated that when published
the treaty would be found to bo neither more
nor less objectionable than several treaties
that have been in operation for some years.
The criticism that has been heard is due , he
says , to n conception of the instrument based
upon garbled extracts that appeared in a
surreptitious publication when the treaty
was first sent to the senate and when objec
tions now made were , if made then , would
have been timely and well founded.
Nomination * Confirmed.
WASHINGTON , D. C , March20. The senate
has confirmed the following nominations :
Max Judd of Missouri , consul general at
Vienna ; William H. Sims of Mississippi ,
first assistant secretary of the interior ;
John S. Seymour of Connecticut , commis
sioner of patents ; Edward A. Bowers ,
Washington , D. C , district commissioner of
the general land office : Henry C. Bell ,

braska " 1. P. Gayle of New Mexico , re
ceiver of public moneys at lloswcll , N. M.
The confirmation of Mr. Risley to be min

DEAnwoon , S. D. , March 29. [ Special
Telegram .to THE BEE. ] Superintendent
Childs of the Harney Peak Tin company in
un Interview today said : "You may quote mo
as saying that the present shut down is not
permanent , although I cannot say when
operations will be resumed. There are at
present at work keeping the various mines
clear of water and looking after the propertv
in u general way , about thirty men and "i
have no idea this force will bo reduced. "
Superintendent Childs smiled at the report
that he had severed his connection with the
company , remarking that this was the first
ho had heard of it. In conclusion he ex
pressed the opinion that operations would be
resumed on a larger scale than ever before.
The time and extent of which , however ,
rests entirely with the stockholders.

LINCOLN , Neb. , March 29. ( Special toTiiE
UEE.I The city council labored long over
the viaduct contract last night und along to
ward mlJnlpht llnally agreed to give the con
tract to the Milwaukee company. The six
members who have been holding out were
finally overpowered by sheer force of num
bers and when the iinal vote was announced
race was depleted on the countenances of
some of the minority , who arc currently ru-
inorod to have been Interested personally In
the substitution of other plans. The prom
ised Investigation did not come up , but there
is a bad taste in the public mouth that mn.v
yet force an investigation.
The contract was taken up and adopted
section by section. Mr. Millar , the Missouri
Pacific's apent here , who is also a member of
the council , made a vigorous fight to have
Kort Collins , Colo. , sandstone specifically de
scribed as the malarial , but as this would
place the contractors at the mercy of one
company it was voted down , the mayor
breaking the tie. Several of the aldermen
declared that the contract price of the stone
was less than It cost , and they were positive
the city would be skinned somewhere along
the line. The company's bonds for the
proper construction of the viaduct and the
payment of labor claims were submitted and
approved along with tlie contract by a vote
of & to 0.
.So Light Competition.
Another very Interring discussion came
up when the ordinance granting u franchise
to the Lincoln Light. Heat and Power com
pany was called up for passage At a meet
ing held six weeks ago a committee was ap
pointed to look into the matter of the effect
of eompetitho lighting companies in various
cities , and it submitted n report to the coun
cil declaring that the city would suffer
in the end ; thut the effect was to tempo-
rarih lower prices , but the result was a
combination of interests that shoved up
the cost to the consumer higher
than ever before. A letter from the
president of the old company was also
read , in which he offered to submit
his books to the Inspection of the
council to determine whether or not the
present prices charged were exorbitant , and
wound up with the remarkable statement
that if the council found that a reduction
would be equitable the company would
offer no objections. The council by a vote of
10 to 4 refused to pass the ordinance.
It developed today that the opinions.ob-
tained by the councilmauic committee on the
comparative cheapness of competitive and
noncomi > etitive companies were obtained
from the presidents of electric lighting com
panies in the various cities , and the ordin-
nance will probably be reconsidered at the
next meeting. The majority of stock in the

Omaha and Chicago parties.

Charles Nutcher. the thief captured. Is an
old-timc cow puncher and is thought to have
been worklnp in the interest of an organized
ganir of horse thieves that are operating in
Idaho. Wyoming , Montana and Nebraska
with headquarters at Marx. Neb , and a
small place south of Hay Swings.
Jim Johnson , the noted thief that escaped
at the time of the capture of Nutcher , is
wanted here for stealing a team from J. E
Ervay and selling it at Hay Springs Ho
is deformed in the left hand.
Abe Price , another member of the gang , is
hiding in the mountains near Fort Laramie.
The oflicials are now aroused to the fact
that an organized gang of forse thieves
e\lsts here , and undoubtedly some surpris
ing arrests will be made in Nebraska nnd
around Sulphur Springs , Mont , soon. They
are recoirni/ed as birds of prey , and It would
be well for all Idaho. Montana and Nebraska
papers to copy the telegram , so that the
horses now at Alliance , Neb. , can be re
turned to the poor settlers that have been
the victims of this daring gang.
