W A ntNOTOK , Xoy. 20. The Indications arc thnt the frea coinage fight will ba renewed wltji rather incroiiaeJ vljtor at the opening of the regular session of congress. The men who waged such a stubborn \vnrfaro for silver In the luo houses during the extra session nppenr to hnvo gathered conflctcnco by tlio incuts which have follmvcd the re peal of the sliver purchase act and an organ- UiUlnti of their forces Is now being per fected. For the past two or thrco wcoUs the silver men liavo been slnRUlnrly quint. The reason for this has now become apparent. The sllvor men were walling for n sufltclcnt period to ulupsu after tha repeal or thoShcr- inan not In order to demonstrate U > the people - plo Unit the silver purcliu&o law U-I\H not the Rixiiso of the proJit financial depression and that It1 * repeal would not prove a panacea lor all the comnieri-lal evils which have ac companied the times. They think the demonstration of this fact is now so appar ent to the American people that the silver men nro preparing to submit to the two Jiousoi of coiiRri-ss next month that the leg islation demanded by the administration has been a failure in rcstorlne commercial pros perity , that the position of thu silver men in urRliiR free coinage at the late srsslon has been vindicated , mid that now the demo cratic party In coneicss should dexotu Itsulf to redeeming the remaining plcdircs of the last democratic national ' : onventon ! on thn subject of silver and financial legislation. "With this object In vlo\v Chairman IJInnd of the committee of coinage , weights and meas ures is propailnR a bill , which ho. as the leader of the frco coinage men , will intro duce at the opening of the next session. It is further declared by Mr. Bland to bo his intention to afford no loophole of cscapo for those democratic rongresbmcn who have talked for tree coin ago to their constituents , but voted apuiiibt it on plausiblu pretexts when the matter came up for consideration in the house , Scores of democratic congress men declared themselves devotedly attached to the frco coinage cause during the recent .session , but explained that they thought the wiser course at that time was to repeal the silver purchiiRO act , aiut then to take up the frco coinage cjutstion pure and simple , and consider it at the regular session. Muji > rlty for Vrco Colnugc. * Mr. Bland declares that there is a clear majority for free coinage in tuo house of representatives if their private declarations to him during the extra session are to bo ro lled on. and ho proposes now to bring these gentlemen to the crucial test. The measure which Chairman Bland will introduce at thu opening of the session is substantially a re-enactment ot the law of January 18,1837. , It is the belief of the sil ver men that n bill re-enacting this law will command greater strength and afford less opportunity for evasion than any other measure which could possibly bo presented. The act of 1837 was simple and brief. It pro vided for silver dollars of 4121 < J grains and declared that "tho dollars , half dollars , quarter dollars , dimes and half dimes should bo legal tender according to their nominal value for any sums whatsoever. " In regard to his position and the plans of Iho silver men Chairman Bland says : "I do not sco that the repeal of the Sherman law bas changed the situation for the better. Indeed , Jt appears rather to have changed it for the worse. The truth Is aud. the people ple now thoroughly realize it the silver purchase law lias had nothing to do with the , hard times. The hard times came and they nro with us and they cannot bo waved nwoy by the wand of a magician , however potent his charms , or however essential his personality. Wo simply have to go through a process of liquidation before good times can coma again , and that was necessary whether wo repealed the Sherman law or not. This panic , llko all other panics , finally reached a point where the people got afraid of the banks and afraid of each other and there now has got to bo a , general liquida tion and blotting out and beginning anew. The repeal of the Sherman luw will only Send to make liquidation the harder for the debtor class of people , because it contracts the currency and loaves the business inter ests of the country without a suftjeient vol- 'jme of money to supply a growing popula tion and develop more industries. Were Altogether Mistaken. "One of the great mistakes those people . joom to have made about repeal is that their plan was to promote schemes in Wall street 'bonds and mortgages , and transactions of that kind. It was supposed that repeal would do this , because it was thought that Eu ropean capital would bo invested here more readily by the repeal of the sliver purchase act than by letting it stand. But it seems that oven m that they have been greatly dis appointed. There seems to bo now less coii- Jklenco in Europe in our financial conditions than before. Europeans are sending no more money hero and continue to draw away ours. If the gold basis which wo have now tends to coutraqt the currency it makes the times harder everywhere , The contraction of the currency and a gold basis will tend to make a Mmrp demand for gold in Europe as well as hero and will Injure our prod ucors by caus ing lower prices for everything wo send to Europe. This also makes lower prices here , and hcnco , since the passage of thu repeal act , wheat and cotton have gene down in the market instead of going up. If wo can reduce - duce the tariff very largely so as to make trade easier and freer the exchange of our commodities abroad will tend some what to relieve the farming interests of this couptry. Hence , I think , wo should at least immedi ately Impose a large Income tax and greatly reduce the duties on Imports. llliliul U Confident. " \Vo expect to undertake to pass a free coinage bill before congress adjourns , " con tinued Chairman lllund , decisively. "What success \\a will have Is very uncertain. I shall Introduce a bill reviving the not of 1837 , and thus providing again for the free coinage of the standard silver dollar. My position is that wo should repeal now all of the Sherman laws on sllvor and have the law of 1837 ro-cuaeted and thus put silver back where ho put his hand on it. Since wo "have repealed one of his laws , let us repeal all of thorn. I think that a majority of the committee on coinage , weights and measures will favor such a bill as I am preparing. I think the late election would stim ulate some of them to a belief in the wisdom of such a policy. The last election seemed to show a general want of confidence In the democratic party , Its result docs not look , either us though people had much confidence that the repeal of the Sherman law would help. My pur pose is to introduce such a bill , have it promptly acted upon by the committee , as I < have tie doubt It will bo , and have it reported back to the house. * I am willing to allow a reasonable time for the discussion and passing of a tariff bill before discussing the free coinage measure. Wo will not embar rass them and will glvo no one any excuse for evading the issue I think our people ought to go to work and ptxsa a good tariff bill at an early day and after that is done I purpose to sco if wo cannot have some finan cial legislation. "For my part I am a free trader and do not belong to the incidental protectionists. . 'Of course , if they put wool on the free list. I shall expect and insist on a heavy cut In manufactured woolen goods. I should con sider it very unfair to put wool on thu free list until wo got a corresponding reduction in woolen goods.1' lluiiluu Convicts Ordered WASHINGTON , Nor. 20 , Secretary CarlMe has ordered the release of the ten Russian convicts vickod up at son and landed at Sun Francisco.

The great lakes are high neas according to the construction announced today by Justice Field in the United States supreme court in tno consid eration of the act of congress providing for the punishment ot offenders on the high seas. Justice ( ? ray and Justice Brown dis sented. The matter ranio up on the cnso of the L'nlted States against Hobcrt Hogers , who waslndtcted In eastern Michigan for as saulting another person on the United States steamer Alaska , lying at the tlmo in the Detroit river. Hogers entered a demurrer to the jurisdiction of the court under Iho high seas net. contending that the great lakes were not high seas , and the court sus tained him , The court holds that the de murrer should have been overruled. Justice Field said that formerly the term high seas was used to designate open or unenclosed waters of the ocean , but that there has been a dnvelopmcnt of the term , and that It docs not now have the significance formerly at taching to it. The Mediterranean , ho says , nas come to bo regarded as high seas , and the great lakes with their Immense territory como within the same construction aud can not ho excluded on the ground that they are fresh and not salt water bodies. The statute of the United States for punishment of the offenses oti the high ocas and connecting waters , ho holds , was Intended to apply to all navigable waters outside the Jurisdiction of any particular state.

Justice Gray dissented , saying he was un- ablu to agree to the hypothesis of congress In saying high seas could mean the great lakes.

Oonornl AVliontun'ii Troops Will Patrol the Mexican llardnr. WASHINGTON , Nov. 20. The troubles on the Mexican border have assumed more serious proportions than the officials hero were at first led to anticipate. On Satur day last Senor Romero , the Mexican min ister , informed the State department that ho hud received information from his gov ernment that a band of twenty-five men were organizing on the Texas side of the Km Grande for the purpose of crossing into Mexico ice at a point near San Elizario. The matter was immediately referred to the War de partment and General Wheaten , commanding the Department of lexas , was telegraphed to take stops to pi event them from crossing. He replied that Major Hinton had been sent to San Elizario with ono com pany of infantry in wagons and that a detachment of thirty cavalrymen had also loft for the same point , but no traces of the band had been found. The residents informed the troops that they hud not seen or heard of the organization. It appears from later information that the troops were misled. The Mexican minister called on the State department again today and Informed the secretary that ho had received advices that another band of sixty-five men had crossed near El Paso. Ho also complained that the Texas authorities bad taken no steps to prevent - vent the violation of the neutrality law , though they had information of the fact that the band wag organized. This information mation has been telegraphed to General Wheaton. and it is probable that ho will at oueotake steps to patrol the frontier and put. a stop to any further violations of the law.

The demo cratic members are now devoting mostof their tlmo In conference attempting to learn , with the aid of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Ilamlln and others , the exact amount of revenue that will bo .yielded byi the various schedules under the revision contemplated by the bill , This involves de tailed calculations and unfit this labor 1st ended no final action can bo taken on any of < the reports of the subcommittees. The income tax provision is held in abeyance until the amount. of revenue likely to bo raised uudcr the other provisions of the bill has certainly been learned. There seems to bo no doubt of its tlnnl adoption. This will greatly relieve the subcommittee on internal revenue' and render it unlikely t lidt there will bo any increase on any of the articles embraced in the intcrm.l revenue schedules except \\hlsky. The tax on beer and tobacco will bo probably allowed to re main , though a small increase of the whisky tax is quite probable , Night sessions are now to bo held regu larly by the democratic members until the bill is completed.

[ Special Telegram to THE Dun. ] Lincoln republicans have a clear case of offensive partisanship apainst the democratic manager of the elements , for the republican celebration In this city was accompanied by weather of the most disagreeable sort. A cold , drizzling rain set in shortly before 0 o'clock and continued during the entire evening. The storm , how ever , did not interfere cither with the parade or tno celebration at thc'UinsIng theater , the building being packed to suf focation. The parade marched through the principal streets of t ho city shortly before a o'clock. It was a success in spite of the rain and was witnessed by an Immense crowd , which lined the streets along the routo. There were a number of bandstho Lincoln Flambeau club , with torches and flroworks , the University cadets and various republican organizations. A largo number of transparencies were berne In Iho line , some of which read as fol lows : "Republican Majorities Bring Good Timos.'i "Maxwell Is to Bo Pitied.

Considerable disappointment was ex pressed over the failure of Frank IX Jack son , governor-elect of Iowa , to show up. Ho telegraphed that ho would bo unable to at tend. Judge Harrison , in honor of whose election the celebration toulght was hold , telegraphed that ho would be unable to bo present. The celebration at the opera house was in augurated by Governor Crounsc , who , after a brief introduction from Brad Slaughter , spoke a brief and expressive welcome. Among other things lie said : ' This is our year for rejoicing. As I recollect wo didn't engage very extensively in that business a year ago. Last year it was the other fellows , the Dolly Varden , crazy quilt aggregation of auythtng-to-boat- tho-republicans. who had been standing out in the cold for a third of the century , who pounded the drums , burned the rod lights and yelled as though pandemonium had been let loose.

Added to these was that-army of poor , deluded innocents who had been taught by dema gogues to believe that with the defeat of ttio republicans the millennium would bo ushered in , wticu tbero would bo no 'robber tariff , ' no drouth or failure of crops ; that wheat would rise to $1.23 per bushel , and that greenbacks and sbinplastcrs would rain down upon them like manna from heaven. But. oh , what a difference ) ia thu morning. "For eight weary months they have been waiting and the promised * millennium is hot in sight. Ou the contrary , the countryaftcr dosing with democracy , could appropriately adopt the inscription found on the tomb stone of that once healthy gentleman who dosed himself too strongly with quack med icine , and which reads : 'I was well ; I wanted to bo better , and hero I am. ' The country was well. It was never better. Under republican rule it had risen to the front of nations. It excelled all others in point of wealth , in the extent of its agriculture - turo and manufactures. Its credit at homo and abroad was excellent. Its exports were in excess of imports and money was llowing into our coffers. Our currency was equal to the best in tne world. The industries of the nation wore active and labor found employ ment at the best of wages , and never before did a dollar buy more than a year ago. .Efl'ectB of a Chungr. "But the change was Insisted upon and it came , and with it has como the results that might bo naturally expected. Van Alen has received the price of bis contribution and goes to Rome. The south is in the saddle , but what of the poor country ? The last eight montns have been a record of bank ruptcies , bank failures and disasters. Under the throat of hostile legislation three- fourths of the manufactories of the country are closed. A million men who a year ago found employment at good wages today are idle or working on short time. The deluded workmen who were induced to vote with their natural enemies , the frco traders , arc repenting around soup houses. The people have awakened to n sense of the situation , as Is Miown by the result of the 7th of this month. By their verdict they have de clared 'that the democratic party is not to bo trusted. The verdict in Ohio , where the issue was so squarely made , shows that the people nro in favor of the doctrine of protection to American industries and American laborers. No , the people have de clared that they have no further use for , i party whoso success Is so quickly followed by the revival of anarchy in Illinois , an at tempt to degrade the boncti in Now York , loss of credit and good name in Kansas and stagnation of business and financial distress throughout the country. IScl > rasKn Old Her 1'art. "Nebraska , in common with others , has much upon -which to congratulate herself. She did her part toward the grand result of the 7th. She might even have done hotter. She is a republican state by a largo majority. Lot us aim to harmonize all the elements that should naturally work with us. As was done in the case of Judge Harrison , let's put forward for oftlco men who command the re spect of all , and when in oftlco lot the affairs of the state be conducted with that honesty. and economy which will bear tho.closest scrunlty. " ISruil Sliiuclitcr'K Kulocy of Democracy. . Brad D. Slaughter responded to the gov ernor's welcome on behalf of the visitors from out of the city. Ho complimented ivin- coin for her enterprise , and said that Ne braska felt proud of her capital city for the reason thnt Lancaster county was never found wanting when a glorious republican victory was. needed. Ho thoa branched elf into an eulogy of the republican party , call ing attention to the marked difference in the growth , prosperity and achievements of the great republican states of the north as compared with the democratic states of the south. Wherever the country found prosperity - perity and worldngmon's homos there it found republicanism. Where the country found Ignorance , poor white trash , and the horse and cow Intoned together at the plow , whcro they raised more hell than corn , there It found democracy. Ho then read telegrams of regret from Governor Jackson of Iowa and Judge Harrison aud then intro duced John L. Webster. Wolutcr the ' ' . on l'nrty'8 Ulory. Mr. Webster took up his theme some where prior to 1770 and pursued it all the way down to Gresham's letter. Ho grouped in a more or less effective way a galaxy of the grandest names that glow from history's pages , framed them with choice quotations from poets and polemic writers and sot ns a background to the whole a vivid picture of a stage rida to the summit of the Rocky mountains. This rida he likened to the rise of the republican party ; the road , the diffl- cultles over which the organization Had boldly made Ha way ; the glorious vista from the summit , the grandeur of the party's achievements , and the huge peaks that stood out in silent majesty were the leaders of thn grand old party who had successfully guided it to greatness. G rover Cleveland's election was the reversal 01 the picture , the return from the mountain heights through the gloomy forests to the level plain of medi ocrity. 1'Yom the results of the late olncllon ho read a rebuke to the free trade element of the dominant party in congress , and prophesied a glorious return to power of the republicans after the next election. Mr , Webster amused the audience with'a number ot stories and his remarks wcro frequently interrupted wit i applause DctnnniU of ! $ ! > . Church Howe came noxtto respond to the toast !

They must all , bo good , clean men , with unblemished charattcr nnd unassail able records , 1 ' Mr. Howe paid his respects to the demo cratic party , charnctjnrlng Cleveland ns a dictator who Ignored both branches of con gress. The doinocratlo party , ho said , would redeem none of its platform pledges. It might take the tariff off of molasses and put it on sugar , or from eggs and place it on poultry , but It dared not change any more than the name of the McKlnloy bill. Turning to the pension question , the sptjakcr ascribed the result of the repub lican victories in Now York , Ohio and Iowa to the return of the veterans to the repub lican party. Republican victory was made possible in Nobrnsua only by the return of 10,000 soldiers' votes to the party. Young men , ho said , did not realize what it cost In blood to save the union nnd protect thu Hag. He urged them not to cast their political fortunes with the men who thlrty-threoyoars ago sought to destroy the government. His remarks wcro highly eulogistic of the union soldiers and were received by marked demonstrations of approval. Umnlin'a Oun. II. D. Estabrook was the next introduced , and ho caused a shout from the galleries by saying that Lincoln was to be congratulated on the fact that she'boro BO great a name , that she was so reliably rcpubllcin , and be cause she had a republican newspaper. Then Mr. Estabrook launched into his ad dress , which was by all odds thu most eloquent , the most polished and thu most witty of the evening , lie alternately thrilled the audience by his brilliant rounded periods , and convulsed them with his humorol's references to" the plight of democracy. Ho sat uown in a storm of applause , and in re sponse to repeated and vehement calls for more brought out another Durst of cheers by remarking : "Gentlemen , you must ex cuse mo. My name is not Senator Allen. " Congressman Dave Mercer was next In troduced as a republican who had been elected in the Second district in spite of TUP. OMAHA BUE. Ilo claimed that the election of Judge Holcomb would have In jured Nebraska to the extent of millions of dollars and given her credit a blow from which sbo would not have recovered for many years. Mr. Mercer drew most of his inspiration for his address from his observa tions and experience in congress , laying especial stress upon the Illegality of election methods In the south. , Jmlio LanslngM Views. The closing address of the evening was de livered by Judge I. M.

Ho said in the serious part of his address that during the last eight months the democratic party "had been on trial on the charge of vici ously assaulting American industry. The idle workmen of the United States acting as a Jury , had pronounced theVerdict of guilty. The sentence would bo imposed in 1890 , when the republican party would , cot-a bottle of McKlnloy bitters and compel the democrats to take it.

Hill , ox- state treasurer , and bis bondsmen. The suit arose from the failure of the Capital National bank of this city and was originally brought lu the district court in and for' Douglas county. When the court convened thii afternoon there wac a lormldablo array of local talent in waiting. The sVUo was represented by Attorney General Hastings , Assistant Attorney General Summers. Hon. 13. Wakcioy of Omaha. The defense was represented by Jutlpo Broady , who appeared for ox-Treasurer 11111 , and T. M. Mnrquotto , J. II. Ames , C. O. Whedon , Griggs. Ulnakcr & Hlbbs of Beatrice , Atkinson & Doty , Cowan & Mcllugh and G. H. Pritchett , nil ot the latter appearing for the bondsmen. As staled above , the case against the ox- treasurer and his bondsmen was originally brought in the district court of Douglas county. The action was dismissed by Judge Davis as being an action on an ofnctal bond , which , under section 51 of the code of civil procedure , must bo commenced"in the county where the action arose. The attorneys for Iho state bring the case to the supreme court on error. Argiiinuiit of .luilRO AViiUelcy. Iii his argument before the court Judge Wakoley , who spoke for the state , made the following points : At the expiration of Treasurer Hill's term of ofilce ho hnd in his hands the sum of $1,4HSou.43 belonging to the state , nnd which it was his duty to pay over to his successor ; that ho failed to pay over or ac count for that sum , or any part thereof , ex cept that ho nalil nnd turned over some small sums of money and certificates of deposit which ho Induced his successor to accept in plnce of the money ; and that although his successor had realized moneys to some ex tent upon such securities , Hill had failed nnd refused to p.iy over or account for in any manner whatever the sum of f3rtlyG4.00. The failure of the treasurer to pay over this money did not localize an action tncrc- for in Lancaster county. It was a general failure to pay It oxer at any tlmo or any place. A petition merely alleging that ho did not pay over the moocy in Lancaster county would have boon domurrable. Tlicrc- fore the cause of action did not arise in any particular county. Wnkclny'H Strong Point. Judge Wnkcley laid great stress upon the reading of section 174 of tlio revenue laws of the state , which ho read to the court as follows - _ lows : "Section 174. ( Jurisdiction and power of court. ) When suit is instituted in behalf of the state , it may bo in any court of record In this state having jurisdiction of the amount , and process may bo directed to any county of the stato. It any proceeding's against any ofllccr or person whoso duty it is"to receive , collect , settle for or pay over any of the rovenuss of the stixto whether the proceedings bo brought by suit on the bond of such ofltcer or person or otherwise , the court in which such proceed ings nro pending shall have power in a sum mary way to compel such oftlccr or person to exhibit on oath a full and fair statement of all moneys by him collected or received , or which ouglit to , be settled or paid over , and to disclose all such matters and things as may be necessary to a full understanding of the case , and the court mav , upon hearing , give judgment for such sum or sums of money as such officer or person Is liable in law to pay. " Controverted by tlio Defense. , jln reply to the above arguments the at torneys for the defense allege that section 174 of the revenue laws must bo read in con nection with section 17l ! , which provides that "upon the failure of any county treas urer to make settlement with the auditor , the auditor shall sue the treasurer and his sureties upon the bond of such treasurer , or sue the treasurer in such form as may bo necessary , aud take all such proceedings , either upon such bond or otherwise , as maybe bo necessary to protect the interests of the stato. " This section , taken in connection with sec tion 174. allege the attorneys for the de fense , refers exclusively to a suit brought by the auditor for the state aud to suits against county treasurers or county collect ors. To sum up the argument of the defense - fenso it may bo stated that they alleged that the present action is not covered by section 174 above quoted ; and that actions brought by the state of Nebraska and not by the auditor are not affected by sec tion 174. 174.for a Concrcstmnn'g Arrest. Deputy Sheriff Iloagland has n warrant in his inside pocknt which calls for the arrest of ono \V. A. McICcighan , member of congress from the Fifth district of Ne braska , and the distinguished gentleman will be served with n copy of the document as soon as ho conies witbin rctich of the officer , providing , of course , that ho doosnot avail hinibclf of his rights of oxompton , accorded to all members of congress by the constitution of the United States. A. L. Hooverono of the proprietors of the Hotel Lindell of this city , went before Deputy County Attorney Collins this after noon and swore out a complaint against Congressman McICcighnn , charging him with unlawfully , and with intent to cheat and defraud , procuring board and lodging without rendering a fair equivalent in cash for the samo. The complaint recites that McKelglmn remained at the iJmlell from Junuarv 4 until February SJ ! ( , 18113 , and during that tlmo neglected to pay the charges against him , although no contract implied or other wise was made for any credit whatsoever. Judge Lansing issued the warrant upon the complaint this afternoon and it was placed in the hands of Deputy Sherilf Hougland for service , Concressman McKrighan came to Lincoln last winter and remained hero during the senatorial contest. Ho hud a suite of rooms at the Lindell nnd considered himself as one of the candidates for United States senator. The complaint Is made through no political motives. The Messrs , Hoover , proprietors of the hotel , stato.that they only want what is honestly duo them and have only adopted , extreme measures after everything clso has fulled.
