CONTESTED ELECTION CASES
Representatives in Congress Spar Over Their
Consideration by the House.
REPUBLICANS SUCCESSFULLY FILIBUSTER
They Prevent the Joy-O'Nolll Case llclng
Brought Up Report of Majority of
thu Committee In Uiifuxirublo
tu the ItopubUcun.
WASHINGTON , . March 22. The house
the entire day In filibustering over
" * the O'Neill-Joy contested election case from
v the Sf. Louis district. The report of the
-.f committee Is In favor of unseating Mr. Joy ,
* *
Vc > ibllcan , and the republicans are deter
mined that this shall not bo accomplished
unless the democrats produce their own
quorum. For five hours today they fili
bustered and kept the house 'deadlocked.
The highest number of democratic votes
r.ist during tlio day was 1GG , thirteen short
of a quorum. An unsuccessful attempt
was made to adjourn over Good Friday and
the struggle will bo resumed tomorrow.
On motion of Mr. Catchlngs of Mississippi
n 'joint resolution was passed authorizing
the secretary of the treasury to receive at
tlio subtreasury In the city of New York
from II. T. Wilson & Co. $6,740,000 to bo
placed to the credit of the Cherokee nation.
Chairman Brown of Indiana , of the com
mittee on elections , presented the report
on the Kngllsh-Il'llborn contested election
case , and Mr. Waugh ot Indiana was given
leave to file the views of the minority.
Mr. Patterson then called up the contested -
' / tested election case of O'Neill against Joy ,
Klevonth Missouri district , and Mr. Waugh
of Indiana promptly raised the question ot
consideration against It and the filibuster
ing began. The republicans refused to
vote and the quorum was broken , the vote
resulting 169 to none twenty short of a
iioruin.
"tall of the house followed. The call
developed the presence of 257 members. The
vote then recurred upon the question of con
sideration.
Tlio republicans repeated their tactics and
declined to answer their names. Again the
democrats failed to mils.or a quorum , al
though they polled 166 votes , seven more
than on the previous roll call.
Mr. Patterson moved a call ot the house ,
nnd pending that , Mr. Waugh moved to ad
journ , The motion to adjourn was lost by
a vote ot 21 to 157.
Mr , Pattersgu withdrew the motion for a
rail'of the house and the vote recurred 'upon
the question ot consideration. Again the
quorum failed , only 157 members appearing.
Mr. Patterson moved a call of the house
nnil upon his motion Mr. Burrows forced
a roll call. The call was ordered by a vote of
153 to 11.
A quorum reappearing upon the call ot the
house. Mr. Patterson moved to dispense
with further proceedings under the call , but
Air. Burrows compelled a roll call on tlio
motion ,
The motion was carried and Mr. Van
Voorhls of NeW York , moved that when the
house adjourn today , U bo to meet on Satur
day.
day.Mr. . Van Voorhls' motion was defeated and
the vote again recurred on the question of
consideration.
After the roll call had been completed , Mr.
Livingston of Georgia called attention to the
fact that the gentleman from Maine ( Heed )
was In his seat and not excused and had re
fused to answer to his name. Ho demanded
that be bo brought before the bar ot the
house and required to vote or give Ms
reasons for not doing so.
Mr. Bailey of Texas , In the chair , declared
there wus nothing In the rules requiring a
member to appear at the bar of the house.
Mr. Livingston then tried to shift his
ground , claiming that the dignity of the
liouio wus Involved.
v. * "Tha dignity ot the houio Is In the keep-
N IIIK of the homo , " replied I ho chairman , "and
It has not prescribed any method for forcing
this rule. "
"It Is not a very large dignity , " Inter
rupted Mr. Reed , amid laughter.
Mr. Livingston fenced for some time with
Mr. Bailey , but the latter ruled him out of
order and then announced that the vote bad
resulted 150 to 1. Still no quorum.
Thereupon Mr. Patterson moved a call of
the house and Mr. Waugh , pending that ,
moved an adjournment.
The motion to adjourn was lost , and Mr.
Van Voorhls then moved that when the house
adjourn today It bo to meet on Monday next.
Mr. Brown , chairman of the committee on
elections , then gave up the contest. "It
being apparent wo can make no further
progress today , " said he , "I move the house
now adjourn. "
Accordingly , at 5:30 : p. m. , the house ad
journed.
PACIFIC KAIL.WAY DKIIT.
Action Necessary by the Government
Chitlrmun Noilly's Opinion.
WASHINGTON , March 22. Conspicuous
attention has been given the Pacific railway
question , owing to the numerous means
suggested for the collection of the vast
debts duo the government from the various
Pacific roads. Concerning the subject
Representative Uellly of Pennsylvania , chair
man ot the house committee on Paclflc rail
roads , said today :
"I regard this 'as ono of the most Im
portant questions before congress , not ex
cepting the tariff and finance. But the
very Importance of the question demands
that It should bo treated with deliberation.
The amount Involved Is about $135,000,000
and the proper protection of the govern
ment and the collection of such a sum re
quires the most deliberate nnd careful action
on the part of congress. The construction
ot tlieso roads Is undoubtedly one of the
great achievements ot the ago , but with all
Its complicating environments , by way of
legislation and Judicial decisions , It comes
down to us as ono ot the war measures , the
original legislation having been enacted dur
ing the exciting days of the war of the
rebellion , and now that wo are confronted
with the solution of this great problem ,
owing to the rapid approach of the matur
ity ot this enormous debt and the necessity
for Bomo legislation , the Importance of the
subject la at once apparent. But at the
outset wo are confronted with all these
complications of laws and decisions , coverIng -
Ing 'a long period of years , and qulto as
complex and of as great magnitude as any
question with which congress has had to
deal with In recent years.
"Wo have arrived at a stage In the history
of this transaction when legislation of some
character Is absolutely nofiessary , and pre
vious legislation on the subject has been de
ferred , awaiting the approach of the matur
ity of this debt , when the situation and Its
necessities could bo better understood and
more wisely considered. The first Install
ment of the bonds Issued by the government
In aid ot the construction of these roads falls
duo In January , 1895 , and must bo provided
for during the next fiscal year.
"As the secretary of the treasury calls
the attention of congress to It In his recent
annual report , thu whole debt will bo matur
ing from that duto during the next four
years. The first Installment ot bondH
amounts to $2,362,000. They are absolutely
payable on the date ot their maturity and
lienco the necessity for legislation In this
respect.
"Tho committee on Pacific railroads , made
up of some of the strongest men In tlio
house , Is giving the subject Us earnest con
sideration , and feels It Its duty to frame and
report some satisfactory legislation. Several
bills bearing on the subject are before the
committee. In considering these and nil
other measures , our only purpose U to pro
tect the Interests ot the government , and to
that end the subject will bo pressed to final
action at the earliest possible day. But the
magnitude and Importance ot the subject
necessarily requires and demands the most
careful and deliberate research and consid
eration. The committee expects to have
hearings by all parties Interested and exer
cise Us most earnest efforts to arrive at a
just solution ot this great subject. What
conclusion the committee- may arrive at or
the character ot legislation It may determine
to report It Is yet too early to predict. One
thlivg Is certain , however , that the commlt-
tco fully appreciates the gravity of the re
sponsibility Imposed upon It and Intends to
meet It fully with an eye to securing the
best possible protection of the government's
Interests. "

Mr. Shcrnmn Troublt-il Over u Story from
Oiuulm About Counterfeiting.
WASHINGTON , March 22. The bill for
the purchase of a site for the new govern
ment printing olllce consumed nearly the
whole morning hour , and , much to the sur
prise of everybody , an amendment , provid
ing for the purchase of what Is known as
the "Mahone" site , was passed. , Notice for
a motion to reconsider the vote was given ,
however , and at some future time the sub
ject will be reopened.
The McGarralmn bill , which was to have
been taken up today , went over until Mon
day , and the bill for the extermination of
the Russian thistle shared a like fate.
Mr. Sherman Introduced a resolution In
structing the committee on judiciary to
Investigate the charges of "Hlmulatlon" of
United States coins or of the coinage -of
standard silver dollars , but It went over
under objections.
After a brief executive session the senate
adjourned until Monday.
A resolution offered by Senator Hoar , ex
pressing regret at the death of Kossuth ,
wa.s adopted.
Mr. Sherman precipitated a discussion of
the nature of a free silver debate by the
Introduction of a re.solutton directing the
committee on judiciary to examine and re
port whether the Hlmulatlon of the coins
of the United States by coins of the same
weight , metal and fineness , except as au
thorized by law. Is made criminal , nnd the
acts against the counterfeiting of the coins
of the United States and other countries ,
and If not to report a bill to prevent and
punish such Hlmulatlon.
He sent to the clerk's desk and had read
a dispatch from Omaha , Neb. , stating that
there was a private mint there which was
engaged In coining silver dollars of tlie
same weight and fineness of the Htamlunl
silver dollnr , making their profit on the
difference between the actual value of the
sliver and the coined value , n profit of
about 51 cents on the dollar. This resolu
tion gave rise to much raillery , and Sen
ator Cullom was heard to remark to Sen
ator Cockrell , sotto voce : "If they cannot
get free coinage In one way they will In
another. "
Mr. Manderson of Nebraska did not be
lieve It was possible that the existing laws
were not sufficient to reach the class of
counterfeiter ) * mentioned , but If It was true
ho thought the defect should bo remedied ,
lie doubted the story , however , from
Omaha , basing his disbelief on hit knowl
edge ot that community , "although , " he
added , "west of the Missouri wo are very
anxious for an Increase of the circulating
medium. "
Mr. Stewart of Nevada objected to thi
present consideration of the resolution , ami
it went over without action.
On motion of Mr. Gorman of Maryland
It was agreed that when the senate ad
journ today It bo to meet Monday next.
Senator Call , from the committee on ap
propriations , reported the fortifications bill
and gave notice that ho would try to call
It up on Tuesday next.
At 3:50 : the senate went Into executive
session and at 1:03 : adjourned until Monday.

BEFORE THE STATE BOARD
Transfer Switch Problem Again Attracting
the Attention of Experts.
WANTED THE FINDINGS AMENDED
Judge Kelly Insisted that the Secretaries
Should Not I.oso Sight of the Number
of Connecting Swltchos Ills
Company Maintains.
LINCOLN , March 22. ( Special to The Bee. )
Tile-State Doard of Transportation met this
afternoon to take up the case of the transfer
switch at Schuyler , but at the request of the
attorneys the matter was postponed for two
weeks. The next hearing will bo on April
5. Judge | Kelly was at the meeting to
represent the Union Pacific , while the Bur-
llugton was represented by J , W. Deweeso.
Judge Kelly asked the secretaries to make
an addition to their findings so as to show
that the Union Pacific already maintained
transfer switches at Grand Island , Columbus ,
South Omaha and Omaha , nnd there was but
one station between Columbus and Schuyler.
Secretary Dllworth stated thai the findings
could not bo very well amended so ns to show
the point desired by Judge Kelly. He added
that the ovldenco taken by the secretaries
simply showed that there were connecting
switches at the points named by Judge
Kelly , but the main point of the transfer
switch law was the clause which prohibited
the roads from charging the sum of the two
locals on freight so transferred from ono
read to another. Ho was willing to make a
finding as to the connecting switches , be
cause ho did not believe that would affect
the merits of the Schuylcr case.
Judge Kelly was hardly able to see the flno
distinction between a transfer switch aiid a

SCORED TUB ATTORNEYS.
Attorneys I ) . G. Courtney and Jacob Op-
ponhclinor were severely and publicly repri
manded In open court by Judge Strode this
forenoon. The case on trial was entitled
P. Mears against Charles Meeker and In
volved a contract for digging Irrigating
ditches In Red Willow county. Messrs.
Courtney and Oppenholmor represented the
plaintiff. When the case was called Mr ,
Courtney commenced to read the petition ,
when ho was stopped by Attorney Hall , who
represented the defendant. Mr. Hall had'a
certified copy ot the petition taken from the
original by the clerk of the court some time
ago and the two did not correspond. Judge
Strode took both petitions and discovered by
comparison that there was a marked differ
ence between the two. The clerk of the dis
trict court was called In and ho soon
demonstrated that the fault did not lie at
his door. Judge Strode then stated that It
was perfectly clear to him that the original
petition had been withdrawn from the flics
without leave and some radical changes
made In It without authority. Both Court
ney and Opponholmer denied any knowledge
of the transaction , but It BOOH developed
that Opponholmer had signed Courtney's
name to the petition and then acknowledged
It as a notary. Judge Strode then pro
ceeded to roast the attorneys , Courtney and
Oppenhelmor , and as Judga Strode Is a man
seldom moved to warmth of expression , his
caustic comments upon their conduct were
all the more noticeable. Ho ordered the
case to proceed on thu original petition , but
Courtney arose and dismissed the case
rather than try It upon the Issues therein
stated. Afterwards ho commenced the casa
anew , using his new and amended petition.
