Attorney General Olney was naked the
plump question today whether the appoint
ment of White n marshal would interfere
with the candidacy of Matt Geriug for the dis
trict nttomeyBhip , because both of tlio men
were residents of tha same city Plntts-
mouth
"It will not make the least difference , "
wa the attorney general's reply. "We arc
delecting men , first on account of their fit
ness , secondly upon their popularity , and
lastly on account of their democracy. Oer-
ing has magnificent endorsements the best
of any applicant. When we come to consider
the case we will look upon ills presentition
without nny regard to the fact that .we have
taken a marshal from his home. "
KmlorKFit liy ItoyiL
It is expected that ex-Governor Boyd will
urge daring's appointment when lie arrives.
Ho has given him his endorsement , as has
nlso Secretary Morton. Senator Allen , the
three congressmen nud nearly every judicial
officer and prominent democrat in the state.
It is now lielievcd liy every Nebrnskan in
the cl'j that Ben Baker's successor will bo
niiiii rl wirli next month. The district at
torney is cvpccK-d to resign very soon , his
resignation to take effect on the 1st of May.
Thnt Is the understanding at the Depart
ment of Justice.
Assistant Secretary Lambertson will be at
his hmnr in Nebraska iu lese than a week ,
barring mishaps , his successor having been
nominated today. Judge Lambertson has
packed his ,7rip und is roauy to leave the
national caplto ) just as soon ns his chair is
occupied Ills successor will likely be In
ducted into office by the middle of the week ,
iiiuirgiinlr.lng tlio Snmio.
Senator Mnnderwn today , acting for the
republican side of the senate , proposed a
compromise to the democrats upon the sub
ject of the reorganization of the senate. It
is that the resolution adopted by the demo
cratic caucus fixing the ante when the new
officers are lo take their places on July 1
next shall be supported by the republicans
und passed , nut amended to take effect on
the Ilrst day of the regular or called session
of congress It is believed that the compro
mise will be accepted. There is not a
quorum of the senate in the city and it Is
next to an impossibility for the democrats to
pass their reorganization resolution iu its
present form
H is almost certain that Sergeant-nt-Arms
Valentine will be permitted to hold his office
till there is an extra session of congress
convened the latter part of September or
congress convenes in regular session in De
cember The democrats have lost their
point hi delaying action till their majority
nlipped away.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 3. to soon as
Secretary Carlisle is relieved from the rush
of callers , which to the present time shows
no diminution , be will turn his attention to
the changes in ills department , BO far as the
chiefs of divisions and bureaus are con
cerned. He thiiiKs that , in order that the
work of the department should be carried
out in harmony with the administration ,
officials who have the control of various
branches should bo of the same political
faith as those iu power. There arc some
chiefs , however , who arc loosed upon as the
secretary's family , who have hold their
places for many years and whose places it
would bo an extremely difficult matter to fill
without injury to the public service.
They have so intimately aliied themselves
with the proper workine of the department
that it is not * probable that Secretary
Carlisle will change thorn , but in all cases
where the offices are filled by persons whoso
appointment was made by the republican ad
ministration , chiefly for political reasons ,
where the service will not suffer by a change
being made , democrats will DO put in.

WASHINGTON , D. C. . April 8. Though the
republicans still claim that they will press
the lioach investigation , there arc few who
really believe that anything more will be
done this session than the reference of the
resolution to the committee on privileges ani
elections. They may order an investigation ,
but it is th'ought no work will be done in this
direction until the session next fall.
Colonel Henry C. Corbiu and his wife left

that u quorum will remain in the city , as
there has already been some departures , und
many other sonutors will leave so soon us tno

MARTIN'S RIGHT TO A SEAT

OTHER SENATORIAL CASES CONSIDERED

Wnnhlnpton Mole * .
WASIHXGTOJJ , D. C. , April 8. The senate
today began the fifth week of its extraordi
nary session , with a fair attendance of sen
ators in their seats , and with a large
audience in the galleries.
The rights of the three senators from the
states of Montana , Washington and Wyom
ing to seats in the senate were discussed in
affirmation of that right by Mr. Turpie.
Another question as to u senator's right tea
a seat was raised today by the presenta
tion of a petition from Joseph W. Ady of
Kansas , asserting that Mr. Martin , who
was sworn in as a senator from that state
at the opening of this extraordinary session ,
was not duly elected , and that ho ( Ady )
was , and now desires to be admitted to the
seat.
Stewart's UrMilutlmi.
Mr Stewart presented resolutions of the
Nevada legislature in favor of the passaee
of un act relating to the indebtedness of the
Central Pacific Railroad company provided ,
that the act did not interfere with the free
and unlimited coinage of sliver the princi
pal argument beinc that if the property of
the company should pass into the hands of
the government it would be exempt from
state and local taxation. The resolution
was referred.
Another senator presented the petition of
Joseph W. Ady. claiming that John Martin
was never legally elected senator from the
state of Kansas , and he ( Ady ) was legally
elected and desired to be admitted to n seat
in the senate accordingly. The petition was
road and was referred to the committee on
privileges and elections.
Air. Hoar offered a resolution declaring It
inexpedient to pass the joint resolution of
the last house for a constitutional an ; -
ment for the popular election of United
States senators.
The report of the committee on privileges
and elections in favor of the admission of
the three senators appointed by the gov
ernors , of Wyoming. Montana and Washing
ton was then taken up , and Mr. Turpie
made an argument-in support of it. He de
voted a good deal of his argument to the
meaning of the words "vacancy. " and "hau-
pening" as used in the constitution with
reference to the senate , and contended that
they were not to be construed in u narrow
sense of occurrence , but should be regarded
us used in the most general sense.
When Mr , Turpie concluded his speech
Mr. Vest took the floor to address the sen
ate on the same subject , but yielding to a de
sire for an executive session he made a mo
tion to that effect and the scnato thereupon
proceeded to the consideration of executive
business and afterwards adjourned until
tomorrow.
In Kxrcutivn Sexslon ,
The senate was in executive ses
sion _ this afternoon more than an
hour" and at the end of that
time only n few postmasters were given out
as having been confirmed. This was , how
ever , the most important business of the
session. The Bering sea correspondence
and the cases of the two governments wore
submitted to the senate , but not read. The
Icussian treaty was then taken up und de
manded the attention of the senators for
some time. The recent criticisms of this
treaty in the newspapers of the country
have given the instrument something of a
political tinge , and the senate is no nearer
a . solution of the question of
whether or not to release the injunction
of secrecy than it was a week or so ago. The
discussion hinges upon just what amount
shall be made public. The treaty was orig
inally negotiated by Mr. Bayard under Mr.
Cleveland's Jirst term. The objections that
have tieen aimed at the convention strikes
at the clause that \vas in the original docu
ment , and which , It is said , do not now ap
pear. Republicans insist that the treaty as
adopted shall be published along with the
original text , so that it shall appear exactly
what was proposed and what was accepted.
Thn DouiucrntR Olijuct.
An effort will bo made tomorrow to dispose
of the matter and to relieve the injunction of
secrecy. Both departments of the conven
tion will ho submitted , and the policy of mu
tual concession may finally dispose of the
subject'and permit the people to see just
what the much discussed treaty contains ,
and how nearly the reports that have been
sent out concerning it agroa.
ELECTION OF bENATOUS.
Senator Hoar liitrodiicoBu lletialiitloii lu thu
hnuutfi on the Suhjout.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 8. It appears ,
from a resolution introduced in the senate
today , as if the debate on the subject of the
election of the senators by a direct vote of
the people was to be renewed at this extra
session of the senate. Mr. Hoar introduced
a resolution 'antagonistic to the proposition
and gave notice that as soon as convenient ,
after tomorrow , he would address the senate
on the resolution. Ho assorts that it is ex
pedient that the resolutions sent to the
senate by the house in the last congress
should be adopted , _ for such a method of
election would essentially change the char
acter of the senate as conceived by the con
vention that framed the constitution and the
people who adopted it. It would , the resolu
tion continues , transfer the selection of scma
tors from the legislatures , entrusted with
all legislative powers cf the states , to bodies
having no other responsibilities , whose elec
tion cannot Do regulated by law. whoso mem
bers vote by proxy , whoso tenure of office is
lor a single day , whoso votes and proceed
ings are not recorded and who act under no
personal responsibility. It requires the sub
stitution of pluralities for majorities ; trans-
furs the seal of political power in great
stales , now distributed evenly over their
territory , to the great cities and masses oJ
population ; creates now temptation to
fraud and will give rise to numerous
election contests ; will absolve the" larger
states fiom the constitutional obligation ,
which secures equal representation of al
states in the senate , by providing thai
no state shall lie deprived of that equnliti
without its consent In conclusion , the resolution
elution says that such a method implies that
the whole current of our history shows tc

Telegram to THE Bur. J When It was
rumored about town this morning that City
Treasurer John \V. AVest was short In his
accounts to the sum of about tlU.OOO It caused
ireat astonishment mid excitement. Inves
tigation proved that West mntlo a statement
to one of his bondsmen to this effect Satur
day night. Until this morning the knowl
edge was limited to the bondsmen , but uf ter
It leaked out of their ranks It spread rap-
Idly.
Idly.West
West confessed that the shortage existed
and made the proposition to his bondsmen to
turn his property over to them if they settle
the shortage. West was ilrst elected to the
office in 1SH7 , re-olected in 18SU and again in
181)1. ) He was again candidate for the office
this year but today publicly withdrew from
the Held. lie lind very strong opponents in
the race this year.
No expert examination lias been made and
it is not known exactly during
what terra the ahortuge or any
part of it occurred. Bondsmen
during the last term were C F. Bi-ntly. S.
N. Woolbach , G. B. Bell , Charles Wasmor ,
W. B. Carey and Ed Hooper. Ho was
always considered an honest , upright
man of good habits. He has not lived
extravagantly und the report was
at Ilrst discredited. For two weeks
he has been ill and was for
a time out of his mind. It is believed by a
Croat many that there is no shortage and
that an examination will find he made an
error in his accounts. He stated to a bonds
man that lie had never used a dollar for pri
vate purposes und his later statement to
other individuals thnt he bad used money
for private business , hoping to again replace
the funds , cannot bo explained.
A number , among whom are several bonds
men , advocate that he is now not in posses
sion of his complete faculties and that his
statements in either ease are to be given
credence accordingly. A rigid examination
will IK' made. The bondsmen Held a meeting
for that purpose tonight. It is believed bj ;
the more conservative bondsmen that a
shortage will be found.

HASTINOS. Neb , . April 8. [ Spmsiul to Tnit
HUE. | There are Just about fifty persons in
Hastings und AJam county who firmly be
hove thnt they fire ultimns of the United
States , but upon -whose claims a technicality
has cast a doubt. In ISSR-i it wan ruiloumry
to enter the record of uaUinUUatlnn lu u
ImnU kept by the district clerk. This ret-ord
\vns in nl ) respects u tlocrou , the ortlor of the
court admitting the applicant to elti mshtp
being made lu this naturalization record No
entry was made of the imturuliiatlou in the
court journal.
When the present clorlt of the district
court , .1. H. Splrer , assumed charge It was
Hindu the rule of the oftlce to put all matters
of naturalization upnn the journal , which is
signea by the presiding Judge at the end of
the term , as well as to have thorn entered
nnd signed by the court in the naturaUzn-
tlon record.
The preat majority of these separate en
tries are duly R igned by the proKliting ludee.
An oven ilft.v , however , are imshrncd and
unattested by the clerk. It is u que tUm
among lawyers whether these entries lire of
any more value than n leaf in a reporter's
note book. Three opinions arb held the
first , thut the alleged decree is of no force ;
that the signature of the court is necessary
to put life into an order The senmd that
these entries boiug in an ollicial record must
be held as valid. The third that no neglect
nor act of the court can in any way preju
dice the rights of those who have in pnod
faith fulfilled the requirements of the law.
All agree , however , that the failure to sign
the decrees is sufficient to east a doubt upon
the citizenship of those who were natural
ized in this way.
In this list are a number of the best known
and most prosperous residents of the city ,
and there is some talk of asking the court
for an order authorizing the present .tudpe
tt > sign these old decrees and thus settle all
doubts. As the matter now stands it mn.v
at some future time embarrass the children
of the persons who arc involved.
