LINCOLN , Sept. 7. [ Special to TUB Bnr..1 JMward W. Sayro , treasurer of Scotts Bluff county , implied to the supreme court today tor a writ of mandamus to compel Auditor Moore to draw a warrant for the money appropriated Tor the rollof of that county by the last legislature. It will bo ro- jnomborcd , that for nearly three yours Scotts Bluff county has had a claim ngalnst the atato for expenses incurred in the trial of ono Gcorgo Arnold for murder. An Attempt was made to secure an appropria tion from the legislature ot 1891 , but the economists of that suasion declined to come to the relief of the taxpayers. At the lust session another attempt , was mnuo with better success and the claim , amount ing to $ T,4B.7n ! , was provided for in an ap propriation. In his petition for n peremptory writ of mandamus Treasurer Sayro alleges that on August G , 1893 , ho made a demand upon Auditor Moore for n warrant ui > on the tate treasury for the full amount of the claim allowed by the legislature , but that the auditor refused nnd still refuses to draw the warrant. Ho alleges that the money Is still in the state treasury nnd that It is Justly duo the county of Scotts UlufT. Auditor Moore stated this afternoon that ho docs refuse to pay Iho money to the treasurer of Scotts Bluff county for ouo reason. A woman named Mrs. Uioliaruson claims to have secured the passage o f the bill through Iho last legislature. She has Jlled nn attorney's lieu with the auditor for { 1,590. On the other hand the com missioners of Scotts Blurt county have Illed ft protest with the auditor against the pay ment of Mrs. Richardson's claim. Ho do- diros to pay the monov to the treasurer , and the suit tiled today Is the result of nn under standing between himself and the attorneys for County Treasurer Sayro. To locl Io Doaiin'ii 1'eo. The hearing in the cnso In which Judge Xoanq of Omaha seeks to scuro a writ of mandamus requiring the managers of the Into Impeachment trial ngalnst Attorney General Hastings , Secretary of State Allen ana Commissioner Humphrey , to pay him $500 In addition to the amount already paid him was held before Judge Strode of Iho district court this afternoon. The issue rests solely , to put it bluntly , upon a question of veracity between Judge Doano on the ouo sldo and the niannirers" of impeachment on the other. Immediately after the adjournment of the legislature , the attorney and the managers hold n conference at the Lindcli hotel in this city , nnd the question of com pensation was discussed. At ilrst the at torneys were disposed to defer the question of compensation until the close ot the trial but the managers insisted that the legal gentlemen should numo the maximum fee they desired to chargo. Finally an agreement mont was reached and a verbal contract was entered into. This afternoon at the Hearing before Judge Strode , Captain P. H Barry und C. D. Caspar , two of the managers , took the stand and swore pos itlvelythittho : vorbalcontract provided thai the attorneys wcro to receive 83,000 each In case all six of the impeached ofllclals wore brought to trial. They also testified that thu payment was to bo on a pro rata basis in the event that less than six officers were brought to trial. In his own behalf Judge Doano aworo with equal posltiveness tha the contract provided that ho was to receive $3.600 for his services. - J. llo Colton , the third manager , was no present. 'Iho hearing was not con ducted entirely without friction bo tvroen the contending parties. Whll Harry was on the stand Judge Doano asked him why , if the componsatloi -was to bo decided upon a pro rata basis , the managers allowed him $2,000 for trying three of the ofllcinls when ho should have received but 81,250. Mr. Barry attempted. ! explain , but Judge Doano pressed him for ni explicit answer. "Well , Judge , " replica tlio imperturbable Barry , "tho managers were not fully ac quainted with the value of your services. " The examination will bo continued tomor row morning nt which time Manager Colton la expected to bo present. Transfer Swltnli The application of the B. & M. road to bo relieved at sixty-three points from the operations of the Packwood switch transfer law onaotcd by the state leg islature was considered by the State Board of Transportation yesterday. All ttio members of the board wore present. The Packwood law requires railroads to con struct truusfor switches at points whcro lines are near each other , and it is tbo pre sumption that the petition of the B. & M. is baaed on the part of the law which pro- Tides that the railroads interested may apply to the titafo Board of Transportation to be TOllovoa in any case where its performance Is unusually burdensome ; and "if upon a personal examination of the locality whcro the transfer switch01 are to bo put in use , nnd taking testimony of persons residing In' the locality by the secretaries of such " "board , they 11 ml it unjust nnd unreasonable to require thofcbulldlng of suijh transfer switches , then such board may relieve such r roads of such duty , ami that evidence from any locality along the lines of roads inter ested shall ho considered by said board and bo competent testimony in such case. " As the legislature failed tomako an appro priation for traveling expenses of the board the general opinion of the members was ex pressed that it would bo impossible for the " "board to malco the necessary trips. The only other course to pursue was to compel the people of the slxty-throo towns tn come to Lincoln and appear at the state house and there glvo evidence. No dolinite decision , however , was reached. v hlio Strlpitit Him Once. Quito an exciting llttlo affair took plnco at the Merchants hotel in this city this ovenlnc shortly after 7 o'clock , when Mrs. Ella Dlltz , a waitress at the hotel , encountered Sergeant John Smith , a United States army recruiting oftloor , temporarily statlonml K \hjs city.

WILL TACKLE THE TARIFF Democrats in Congress Compelled to Taco the Mmio of Reform.

WxsntNOTQX BonsAW or Tnn Ben , 513 FounTBKNin STHSKT , Sept. 7. ) A ro volution in democratic opinion as to the time when congress should act upon the tariff has taken pl.lco during the past ton days. Just before the house passed the silver repeal - peal bill four-llf ths of the democrats in both houses were in favor of taking a recess as soon as the sonata nctod upon that measure , and leaving the house commit too on ways and inoauB to leisurely prepare a tariff bill , which was to bo reported after the holidays. The republicans In both houses of congress , through newspaper Interviews , open speeches , ana tholr correspondence be to advocate the earliest action upon th tariff , contending that it was duo to the in : Interests nnd the commercial men of the country that the suspense should boTl removed at the earliest possible day , They held that oven a free trade democracy owed it to these who had Invested tholr cap ital and labor In good faith to glvo them some opportunity to withdraw from the In dustrlcs. It had been contended up to the itlmo the house passed the silver repeal bill that the stringency In the money markets nnd the shutting down of factories wcro duo to doubt as to our general financial policy , and that if the possibility of paying obligations In silver was removed confidence would bo restored and money would como out Into the open channels of trado. Iho boards of trade of the country nnd the telegraph wires enable iinanclal men to anticipate and discount leg islation. It Didn't Hrlng Keller. As soon ns the house passed the silver repeal - peal bill and it was known that it would pass the scnatn , the better effects of the anticipated legislation were perceptible. Confidence was not restored , nnd it was clear that it wquld not bo restored until action was taken upon the tariff. Pressure immediately began from the country to as sort itself upon democrats in congress. Within thrco or four days four-fifths of the democrats who had favored an adjournment ns soon as the silver repeal bill was finally passed announced that the question of the tariff should bo proceeded with aud disposed of before adjournment. Force of conditions hud com polled a chaneo of front. Here Is an extract from a latter just ro colvod from Hon. William Hoynos of South Bend , Ind. , which is ono of the greatest , manufacturing centers in the country , and there is no ono bettor situated to speak of the conditions which have brought the coun try to Us uresont crisis than its writer : The money question alone It would bo com-i pariUlvoly easy tosotilo , at least temporarily , but iv radical change In the tariff Involves a complete readjustment ) ; of prices , wages nnd business.
