Her Cano lllttorly. Mrs. A. B. Kempton , the woman charged with conducting a place of ill repute , is lighting bcr case bitterly before the police court. The hearing of thecaso was resumed this morning , tlio court being held in the council chamber to accommodate the crowd of men attracted by the prospect of racy developments. The case is all the moro interesting for the reason that it is under taken by ttic authorities under the orders of Mayor Weir , who is determined to go as far ns possible to stamp out the social evil In Lincoln. The fact that the case Is bitterly contested has not discouraged the police. Witnesses were introduced today lo provo ihat the women found in the resort the night It w-is raided by the police were well known violators of tno law. Men wcro placed on the stand to provo thut they had visited Mrs. Kempton and made arrange ments for entertainment over night with female companions. Mrs. Kempton is the woman who emptied her revolver at the police a'Week ago lust Sunday night when they effected an cntranco to her rooms. BlnyorVelr' Voliiea. The regular session of the city council was not held last evening owing to the lick of a quorum , but an attempt is being made to liola a scasjou thli afternoon. Mayor Weir submitted three vetoes lo rosolulions adopted by the council at its regular meetIng - Ing lust wcolc. Ono was for the repair of the roadway on O street , between Twenty- ninth and Thirtieth streets , the mayor deeming it unwise to expend the road fund on contract work inside of a paving district. The resolution for a turnpike road on Thir tieth struct , from Fair to Centerwas vetoed for the reason that the mayor does not believe - liovo Iho worlc can bo economically done while iho ground is frozen. The third vote covered the resolution to grade North Twelfth street , from Salt creek to Nanco street. The mayor advances the reason that the work cannot bo satisfactorily done while the frost Is in the ground. I'lro In n 81110011. Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning Iho . fire department was called to the Diamond saloon at Milt O strcot by a blaze that , had been started In some mysterious manner in the colling lu the rear of iho room. Ttio building is a two-story one , and tbo bar * V tender , Ilcnry Dlgnan , lived with his family > . iu the rooms above the saloon.

Samuel Means , the Madison county man convicted of passing counterfeit money In the federal court last week , was brought before - fore Judge Dundy for sentence this after noon. Before passing sentence Judge Dundy permitted the wife of the prisoner to make an appeal for her husband. Mrs. Means aaid that- she nnd her husband were prac tically without moans of support and that if ho was sent to thg penitentiary their home would bo broken up and she would have no means of supporting herself and her children. She begged the Judge lo line her husband and not to Include imprisonment In his sentence. Judge Dundy staled In reply that iho law fixed rjoth line and imprison ment , nt the discretion of ibo court. All of the Jurors , with but ono exception , had recommended a fine instead of Imprison ment , but ho said that the little child which had entered the court room with bur un fortunate father bad dona moro to secure a light punishment than anything else. The Judge then sentenced Means to pay a line of f 100 nnd 01 sts anil to .remain In the custody of the Untied States marshal until the money was paid into court. NOUT1I I.OIJI'-.S lilt ) DITCH.

Sawyer of Lincoln or Judge Charles Ogden , " said Attorney General Olnoy today , In talking over the candidates for the United States district attornoyship for Nebraska. Then Mr. Olney discussed the merits of the two men. Ho regarded the fact that Judge Ogdcn had boon selected for the bench upon his merits and had maintained his position with credit as good ovidcnco of his legal attainments and his ability to fill the district attornoy- . ship with satisfaction to the people and the department. Ilo spoke of Mr. Sawyer's business success , and observed that ho must bo n man of excellent business sense and judgment , as his Individual llfo and accom plishments had marked him as a rapablo man and ono who had abilities which com mended him to the position under discussion. The attorney general gave both men u line endorsement , and said that ho was favor , ably impressed with both. Ho loft the Im pression , however , that Judge Ogdcn , everything - thing considered , stood the best chance ol appointment. The nomination may go to the sonata any day. lloyd's Nil mt > Written There. There Is made up for roprescntativos of the press at the room of the upuolntmont clerk of the Treasury department every week day a list of these who upply for ap pointments in the treasury service. The name , address of the applicant and the office sought are given together , a word indicat ing whether the application is made by the applicant direct or through friends , but ac cess to the application papers is refuse ! the public. Today there appeared upon this list the following entry : "Nebraska , James E. Boyd , surveyor of customs at Omaha , by friend. " Nothing further could bo learned by TUB BEE correspondent at the Treasury department. It Is not known whether this application made by the friends of ox-Governor Boyd for the survoyorshln is in the form of a neti- tion or letters or a formal application in the third person. The facts remain , however , that some person or persons has or have asked the secretary of the treasury or the president that ox-Governor Uoyd shall bo appointed surveyor of the port of Omaha. The fact that the president lias some sort of objections to James McShano and regards ox-Governor Boyd very highly , and would bo glad to give him an appointment , led Nebraskans - braskans today who hoard of the applica tion to speculate upon its meaning. Al though it is known that Secretary Carlisle is strongly in favor of the appointment of Mr. McShano it would create 113 surprise if the president should name ex-Governor Boyd for the position. Killing the Suxnr Trust. It would appear certain that when the Wilson tariff bill becomes law , If it ever docs , U will make all grades of sugar abso lutely free. Democratic members of the ways and means and senate finance commit teas today expressed the opinion in the most positive language that JJQ matter what may bo done with crude sugar , there will bo no protection af forded the rsllncrs , It is the prevailing be lief that the sugar schedule will stand m the bill as it is at present. Nothing more is heard of the proposed duty on crude sugar. The house by an over whelming majority has decided that shall bo no duty on raw sugar. The democrats con- terid that under the circumstances that any and all men who vote for protection to the refiners will bo open to suspicion of having been bribed. The trust , they sa/ , has made arrangements to "fix" the senate and secure protection. Even if a duty should bo placed upon the crude sugar they could not add an additional duty on refined sugar , as that would be a step for protection , and would destroy the "revenue" principle , suggesting n duty on the crudo. . The opinion is freely expressed by republicans in boih branches of congress that no further change will bo made in the sugar schedule of the bill clthor in the house or senate. The democrats feel that thoyaro accomplishing by indirection what they have long prated about directly ; that they will kill the trust by refusing pro tection , ana will not have to enforce the anti-trust law which lies dormant upon the statute books. Views of a Manufacturer. Henry T. Oxnard , the beet sugar manu facturer , in commenting today on the action of the house In voting nil sugar free and re pealing the bounty , said to TUB BEK corre spondent : "It looks as though thn senate would lot the work of the house stand so far as the sugar schedule Is concerned. It will ruin the entire sugar industry in the country and probably that In Nebraska , where the production of beets has not been developed. Wo have boon depending upon the bounty for rovc- nuo to offer as an extra inducement to the boot growers. Our farmers are not always ready to jump into n now industry and wo must give them something extra till they have it developed. Wo " can never de velop the beet sugar Industry" in free com petition with European countries which have long since developed it. I feel that the republicans in the house in refusing to sup port the bounty have faced about on ono of tholr principles. They refrained from voting ing because they wanted to see so many unpopular features adopted that the bill would fall of final passage , but I don't think they should run such chances to the hazard of ono of our greatest Industries. " Representative Melklojohn called at t'jo Treasury department to secure the early completion of the Interior work on tlio pub lic building at Fremont. Supervising Ar chitect O'Rourko informed him that the plans and specifications would bo completed in a few days and that ho would call for bids early next week. There remains 818.- 000 of the appropriation , which will bo suffi cient to finish the Interior work of the build ing. The architect sala thut the contract would DO let In u month. Mr. Melklojohn introduced n bill today for granting a charter to the Iowa & ; Nebraska Pontoon Bridge com pany tor the construction of a pontoon brldgo across the Missouri river between - tweon Sioux City. la. , and Covington , Nob.

When ox-Governor Boyd was asked about the application tiled in his name for the position of surveyor of this port , ho said ; "It Is all Greek to mo. I have no knowl edge that any such thing was proposed and never authorized anybody to make any such application. The whole matter is nowa to mo. mo."I am now waiting to hoar from friends In the cast , and expect , every hour to receive a dispatch from them , and will immediately thoreattor start for Mexico to bo gene a month or moroon a business trip.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 21.1 When the republi can national nommlttoo recently mot In this city a resolution was offered requesting the governor of Washington to call a special Icgtslaturo to elect a senator. It was de cided , however , that the chairman should express the opinion of the committee In n letter. Mr. Manlcy has written the following ing"HoN. "HoN. 1C. A. McGiiAW , Olympla , Wash. My Dear Sir : As you will have been ad vised through the public prints , the execu tive committee of the republican national committee at Its recent meeting elected mo chairman at" the committee to succeed Mr. Carter , wno resigned as chairman of the ox- ccutlvo committee , still retaining his posi tion us chairman of" the national organiza tion. After conversing with various mem bers of the commlttco concerning the mat ters of pressing importance requiring atten tion from a early standpoint from various scctlonsbf the country , the uxecutlvo com mlttco clearly Indicated an Indisposition to intermeddle In local affairs and as to your state every member of the committee ov- pressed the most profound respect in your judgment , discretion and fidelity to the republican - publican party. "Notwithstanding this respectful consider ation It was deemed Just and fair to you to have you understand that in the judgment of the commlttco the Interests of the repub lican party would bo very materially ad vanced and the prosperity of the country In sured to a measurable extent by the recon vening of tho- legislature of your stato. If such action would result In the election of n United States senator whoso vote would certainly be cast against the pending tariff bill known ns the Wilson bill.

Very respectfully yours , JOSEPH H. MANLEY. " I'll KS EXT HUSlA'UbS CONDITIONS. Representative McOann Tulles on the Itoln- tious or Capital ami Labor. WASHINGTON , Jan. 24. Representative Me- Gann of Illinois , chairman of the house com mittee on labor , has given much study for years to the relations of capital and labor. Mr. McGann thinks that the present busi ness conditions are not the result of any dif ferences between capital and labor. In an interview today ho said : "If the labor com- mlttco was to introduces bill intended to re adjust business on the right basis it would bo denounced as revolutionary. In my own opinion wo must reti'aeoour ' stops to first principles. Wo are operating under economic laws in which the great factor of machinery was not originally considered , economic laws which have also been distorted by unnatural superstructures built upon them to meet the violent conditions of war times. It was never intended that the government should intoroforo with matters of trade. They should bo left to be regulated by the laws of supply and aomand , 'after the government has levied an impartial tax to pay its little expenses. Ono fact , seems to have been established by this tariff debate , that capital never accords labor nioro than the lowest wages it is compelled to pay. liepublicacs anddemocrats have admitted this , and only by organization of labor have wages been raised. Interference of the government has always been in behalf of-capital. Labor has never sought bounties. It is only capital that comes hero when profits are not suffi cient and asks for aid to carry on business. After it is secured capital never shares with labor , except us it Is compelled to. " INCLUDED T11K INCOME TAX. It Will Bo Included In the Internal Ilovr- nuo mil. WASHINGTON , Jan. 24. The full ways and means committee has voted to report the internal rovcnuo bill , including the income - como tax. The vote was 9 to 7. All the re publicans and Messrs. Cochran and Stevens voted In the negative. The success of the income tax men in finally getting the bill out of the commlttco was achieved after a sharp contest. The republicans reluscd to voto. Three demo crats , Cockran , Slovens and Bynum also re fused to voto. This broke a quorum and the income tax inon were powerless. Then Mr. Keed came to the rescue and said if another roll call was taken the repub licans would vote to make a quorum , but not to favor a report. The roll call gave fifteen votes , or four nioro than a quorum , Cockran and Stevens still refusing to vote , but the quorum was made without thorn. Then the moiiou was put on reporting the bill to the houso. This prevailed by the following vote : Yeas Wilson , McMllIin , Bynum , Whiting , Brcckinridgo , Tarsnoy , Montgomery , Br.ynn and Turner 0 ( all domocrats. ) Nays Reed , Burrows , Payne , D.ilzoll , Hopkins ( republicans ) . Cockran and Stevens ( democrats ) 7. Total vote , 10. A notable feature of the vote was the action of Chairman Wilson and Messrs. Brcckinridgo aud Bynum In voting to report the bill.

The Hawaiian question cnmo prominently before the scnato again today , and , after an hour's brisk ills cusslon , went over until tomorrow. The result of the clobato was to show thut tlicro Is division In both p.u-ty ranks on the wisdom of adopting the resolution reported by the foreign relations committee. Senator Vest objected to It on the pround that It indicated tlio ( irojeot for annexation might bo more favorably received In the future , and Senator Allison and other republicans objected to It on the ground that , according to tholr interpretation , the resolution pledged the scnato as altOROthor opposing the principle ) of annexation and approving the policy of the president In this respect. A half dozen amendments are now pending to modify Its phraseology , and It Is likely to bo subjected , to material changes before tlnul adoption. At 2 o'clock the bill repealing the federal elections laws came up as unfinished business. ' 1 ho Hawaiian resolution went over until tomorrow , when Senator Teller will take the lloor. Senator Lodgu then took the floor In oppo sition to the bill repealing the federal elec tions laws. Senator I.odeo'ti Speech. Mr. Lodge said It would bo n waste of tlmo to argue concerning the constitution ality of the national election laws. If ever there could bo doubt on thissubjcct.supromo court decisions had settled the question for all tiint- . After reviewing the decisions of the supreme court rclatlvo to tills matter , the senator took up the question of election frauds and reviewed in detail recent in stances of corruption in Now. York City. The senator then continued : lTho passage - sago of the laws which it is now proposed to repeal and the appointment of supervisors in accordance with their provisions , put a stop in a largo measure to these frauds. Whatever the defects were in1 tills legisla tion and they were many at the time they at least produced this good result ; these frauds thus brought to an end wuro the work of that eminent democrat , the late William L. Tweed. Hut although ho was driven from the field of his political activity and died In obscurity , his throne has not been left vacant , nor his sword unswayed. Ho has both successors and Imitators. I will take only ono very recent example to provo this and to show that if these laws were needed to repress Mr. Tweed's activ ity they are just as necessary today to curb the zeal of these who would rival him in his chosen sphere of public usefulness. "Last fall Mr. John Y. McICano of Graves- end , L. I. , rose at a bound to national repu tation. If he lacked the powerful Imagina tion of Mr. Tweed in dealing with the voting ing lists and voters ho quite equaled him in boldness and ellielency. If his uerformances were less picturesque and finished than those of his great master , they were quite as flagrant , i will describe what he did , not In my own language , but in the forcible sentences of Mr. St. Glair McKolway. a democrat and the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle , the leading democratic newspaper of that city. Mr. MclCelway stales what oc curred at Gravcsend last fall as follows : 'At this election this man had an 8,418 popu lation to take into consideration in his town. Ho credited himself with 0,218 voters. Never did mathematician or fecundity of imagination further go , ' 1 dislike to cor rect Mr. McKolway , but I do not think that this statement Is quito accurate. In the earlier and better days Lhavo shown Mr. Tweed displayed a richer imagination in dealing with election figures than Mr. Mc- Kann , but on the other hand , in justice to McICano , it ought to bo said that Mr. Tweed never beat and stoned American citizens because - cause they carried a mandate of the supreme court authorizing them to examine the voting districts. On the Negro Question. "Mr. Mclvano's performances , " continued Mr. Loage , "provo sufficiently that crimes against the suffrage are attempted now just as flagrantly in our northern cities as they were more than twenty years ago , and that the need of strinaent legislation , both state and national , to prevent and punish them is as great as over. In the north election frauds are the vulgar crimes of dangerous men with criminal propensities. Publio opinion there so regards them , and when that public opinion is aroused it treats them simply as criminals to bo dealt with in the courts. In the south the case is widely different , for there the subject , is compli cated with a race question and with senti ments which are the evil legacies of slavery and civil war. ' For my own part , profound as my convic tions are on this question of honest elec tions , I have never sought to disguise the difficulties of that question in the south. The future of the negro race in the United States is ono of the gravest problems to bo mot by the American people. It is not a problem which can bo settled this year or next. It will remain with us and our chil dren for many years to come. However slavery was expiated by the war , its results remained. Nations are unable as men to escape the consequences of tholr own actions , whether the actions bo gcoJ or had. The negroes whom wo brought hero are still with us , although slavery has vanished , and their numbers Increase from day to day. However wo may divide among ourselves the responsibility for tholr presence they at least are wholly innocent. Wo brought them hero with cruelty and violence and against their will. Wo took from them tholr liberty and wo held them In bondage. We have done them great wrong. They ask that as wo have inado tnaii American citizens they should have all the rights before the law which that name implies. To these rights T bollcve them to bo entitled , a nil so far as these rights como within the jurisdiction of the United States I bellevo they should bo protected by the national power. Wliy Ho OppuspH ICopoal. "I am opposed to the repeal of these laws , because it is a direct blow to national senti ment and to the right and authority of the nation. If they servo no purpose except as an expression of national right and authority thcso laws ought not to ho touched. I have endeavored in the past to 1mprovo them , but the crowning defect of these laws and of efforts which have been made to add to them Is not that they go too far , but that thoyaro 111 constructed and do not go far enough. National elections , that is of congressmen , are by the constitution wholly within the power of congress. Should congress exert that power , these elections should bo abao- lutloy separate from the elections of state or municipality. They should bo held on u dif ferent day from any local election and they should bo conducted and protected by national officers and not b.v local officers. The United States has no right to mcddlo in any way with state , county or city elections , and in my theory of the constitution the state should not mcddlo in any way- with elections of the members of the national house. The present attempt is on effort to ovndo the domain of national authority , to break down national power , to sweep from the statute books any recognition of- national rights. On this ground 1 oppose this bill. And I also oppose It because 1 believe that national elections , separate from nil local elections , should bo under the control and conduct of the United States to the end that citizens of the United States , when In that capacity they oxerclso their highest privilege , may be able to dose so without fear or favor.

OvirlouUod u Suprumo Court llecUlon. This measure was made the occasion of a detailed discussion by .Senator Vest of the recent veto b.v Cleveland on the Now York and Now Jersey bill. "Tho president , " said ho , "In his veto tnes < mgo say.it "I am by no means certain that the secretary of war , who Is Invested by the terms of the bill with considerable discretion , sa fur as the plans of the structure - uro nro concerned , would hnvo the power to exact of the promoters of thU enterprise the Fraction of u bridge spanning the cutlro river. ' ' Wo hax'o In the Now York bridge hill the Identical provision thatwohnvaticro.thultha plans should bo submitted to the secretary of war , and until approved by him the struc ture cannot bo commenced. The president , and I mention It with great res pro t , has overlooked the decision of the supreme court of the United States on this very matter. In the Now York case , where the identical question submitted to the court was the ono raised by the president In his recent message , the court decided us fol lows : 'It Iscompntcnt for congress , having authorized the construction of n bridge at a given height over n navlgablo water , to cm- power the secretary of war to dotermtuo whether the proposed brldgo will bo a seri ous obstruction to navigation , and to nuthorlzo changes In the plans of the pro posed structure. ' " After thcso remarks by Mr. Vest the bill passed , several minor amendments being first adopted. HUM 1'imod.
