uu 13 ml to the Tecli-
ttlual Objection * .
After exhausting a fertile supply of re
sources In delaying the arraignment of their
client , the attorneys for Joseph S. Hartley ,
the ex-state treasurer charged with the em
bezzlement of public funds , wore compelled
to allow him to be arraigned In the criminal
court of this county yesterday afternoon.
Tlio casb was eel for trial next Tuesday
morning , but whether the trial will bo
allowed to proceed or whether every delay
allowed by law will bo invoked remains to
bo seen.
The caao was taken , up before Judge Baker
yesterday morning , the firat proceeding being
a motion by llartley's attorneys to compel
ttio prosecution to elect upon which of the
counts in the Information the state would
stand. Thin motion wus dlscuEsed at some
length , and was finally overruled by Judge
( Baker.
As a further means of delay la preventing
Bartlcy from standing before the bar and
answering to the charge filed against him
his attorneys gave notice that they would
fllo a motion for a new trial on the plea In
abatement and would not allow their client
to plead to the Information until this motion
hud been heard and passed upon.
County Attorney Ualdrige , however , pro
ceeded In the case without regard to this
announcement and called to Hartley to stand
before the court. Mr. Mohoney told Hart-
Icy to keep his aeat and dictated to the co'urt
ethnographer a notice that ho would within
thrco days fllo a motion 'for a new trial on
the plea In abatement. He then stated that
hp would not allow his client to plead until
this motion had been argued and ruled upon.
URGES AGAINST DELAY.
Judge Baker sa-Jd the attorneys for Dart-
ley could fllo anything within reason , b'ut
said It was not necessary to delay the ar
raignment of the defendant.
The next step taken ) vas the argument on
the demurrer filed by Hartley's attorneys.
This demurrer was aimed at the Information
and charged that the document in question
did not charge a crime under the laws of
Nebraska.
The argument on this demurrer was
opened by O. C , Whedon.
Mr. Whedon asserted that the information
did not set up the several steps which the
law provided must precede the Issuance of a
warrant by the proper state officers. He said
that the statutes provided how warrants
might ho legally drawn and took' the posltlor
that the Information should set up each o !
these legal fitopS In order to show that the
warrant In question had been properly drawn
. 'an.il was a legal warrant. Mr. Whedon leaf
the act of 1S95 , appropriating various sums
for specific purpose ? , among these being an
appropriation of $180,101.75 to relmburoe the
Blnklng fund. The act provided that this
money should he paid "upon presentation o
the proper voucher. " Ho charged that the
presentation of this voucher was a questloi
of fact and should bo set out In the Informa
tion ! Ho alleged that there was no allega
tlon In the Information which would give
the warrant referred to any value whatevci
and , consequently , no crime could liavu bcei
committed. Ho further Argued that no nlle
gatlon was made that a demand was cvei
made upon Hartley for the payment of this
money , nor a showing that payment hat
been refused. From this he charged that
there was nothing to show that any crime
hart been committed.
Taking up thn count In the Infornmtloi
which charged Hartley with converting the
money to his own use Mr. Whedon said that
the charge that the money had been con
verted was simply a conclusion. Ho said
that the information should state what was
doiio with the money , that the facts mlgh
bo proven and thus prove the conversion
Ho quoted numerous cases from other states
in support of thin position.
Juat before court adjourned Judge Hakei
suggested that during recess Mr. Whedon
look up the point of whether , In a case where
conversion was charged , a demand was neces
Enry or whether the charge of conversion dl <
not imply that the money had passed out o
the possession of the party and a denmm
thereby rendered uaelces.
WHEDON ON CONVERSION.
When court convened In the afternoon Mr
Whedon resumed Ills argument. Taking ui
tbo question suggested by Judge Uaker as to
whether a demand was necessary If there
lu'd bceu conversion of the public funds , ho
took the position that a public ofllcer woulc
only be guilty of conversion In the way
named In the statute , viz : Either by loan
ing it to others or by Investment. Ho aa
corted that putting the money into hi
pocket would not constitute conversloi
within the meaning of the law , but it mus
lie shown that the money in question wa
cither leaned , and to whom , or that If hni
been invested , and In what. Ho reiterate )
lila claim that it must bo shown that a do
nmnd had been made by an olllccr qualifier
to make it and payment of the money re
fused. In support of this contention Mr
Whedon made frequent referenced to th
drcltlon of the supreme court in the Holln
case.
The argument against tbo demurrer wa :
opened by County Attorney Ujldrige. He
raid It WJB a well known rule of law that 1
IB not uceeasary for a pleader to plead the
evidential facie , and hence It l not necc
fiary to set out tbo several steps necessary
to establish these facts. He said the pro
cccdlngg In hand wore on demurrer and tha
in such proceeding , ! thg defense admit , ; the
truth of the allegations In the complain
unit that it Is not necessary to set out the
teps ncceMary to establish ( ho value of the
warrant ,
The county attorney also took thu position
that It Is not necessary to show a dcmaiu
for the money , He bald that if tn ofllce
charged with the safe keeping of money uat *
any part of this money for private piirpaii'u
that act constitutes the crime of conversion
He held that it was unnececsary to shou
that a demand was made for the money bu
all that In necessiry Is to establish the fac
that the money was converted.
WAUHANT LEGALLY DIUWN.
Attcrne-y General Smy.u follow.d the couuty
attorney. He argued against the claim
of Mr , Wucdou that the act of the lcgl. la
tine making UIB appropriation of $150,101.7
was unconstitutional because this item wi
not covered by the title of the act. and tha
there was , therefore , no authority for draw
ing a warrant for such amount. Mr Smith
claimed that the title of the act was arnpl
to caver the approprlitlou In question ant
that the Uaue of the warrant wag authorized
Mr. Mahoney closed the argument for th
defense , Hu opened by referring to the ac
of tha legislature containing the appropria
tloo to reimburse the linking fund for tli
uruouot tied up by the failure of the > Caplto
'atloual bank. Ho chirged that thU ac
wan Illegal and void becaure the appropria-
Ion In question was not referred to In the
Ille and that the act was therefore uncon-
tltutional. From this he argued that the
warrant for 180,101.75 , which Hartley is
barged with embezzling , had no value and
hat , therefore , no crime could have been
ommlttcd.
At the conclusion of Mr. Mahonoy's argu
ment Judge Uaker discussed the points
raised by the defense. Ho held that the
charge that Hartley "did embezzle" was
sufllclcnt aa contained in the Information ,
tegardlng the constitutionality of the legls-
atlvo act making the appropriation , Judge
laker hold that It was constitutional. Ho
hereupon overruled the demurrer.
The county attorney again announced that
10 was ready to arraign the defendant.
Mr. Mahoney repeated the statement made
n the morning , that the defendant would
not bo ready to plead until the motion for
a now trial on the pica tn abatement had
been filed , argued and passed upon , and
vould object to being arraigned until this
mil been done.
Judge Darker announced that this objection
ivould bo overruled.
HARTLEY DECL1NKS TO ANSWER.
Hartley and his attorneys held a short con
sultation and then Bar'ley ' approached the
iar of the court , where the complaint against
ilm was read aloud by County Attorney
Haldrlge.
At the conclusion of each of the eight
counts the county attorney oskcd the ques
tion. "What do you plead to that , guilty
or not guilty ? "
Instead of answering , Bartlcy simply stood
silent , refusing to plead or to make any
statement. Under the statute silence under
such circumstances Is taken as a pica of not
; ullty uiul Is so entered upon the record.
Following the arraignment Judge Hakcr
asked what the next step would be. The
county attorney announced that the state
would bo ready to proceed with the trial
next Monday morning.
Mr. Whedon replied to a question that he
did not think the defense would "be ready
In the near.future or at this term of court. "
Ho further stated that he could not tell just
when the defense would be ready.
Attorney General Smyth Insisted that the
case should be set for some time early next
week. Ho said the defense had been noti
fied repeatedly that the state would urge the
commencement of the cose next week , and
lie urged the court to set the case for Mon-
dajr.After
After a lengthy discussion Judge Baker
fixed the case' for hearing next Tuesday
morning at 0:30 : o'clock.

UUUUAN'r IllSMAMlS HIS I.IIIEHTY
Preliminary to A not hir Appeal to
the Suiri > iuu Court.
SAN FRANCISCO" . June 2. There will be
200 Invitations issued for the execution of
Durrani. Warden Hale has fixed 10:30 a. m
as the hour of execution. Twenty-live mod.
leal men will be permitted to witness the
tragedy at the request of his attorneys ,
Durrani yesterday made a formal demand
for release , setting out that he was un
justly Imprisoned , This will be part ol
the appeal to the supreme court and is to
cover the point which might be made thai
by falling to protest and demand his ! lbert >
ho had lost his right to the claim. This
point must be decided before Durrani can
bo hanged. The contention Is that Judge
Baurs Inflicted two pentlt'les imprisonment
and death while the law says one or' tin.
other Is illegal Counsel will hold thai
Durrani's life In San Quentln is not deten
tion , but Imprisonment ; that the position of
the attorney general is untenable , as life h :
the county jail carries with It no shaving
etrlpca and no indignity other than deteiv
tlon. This statement will also be heard It
tha federal court , where It Is expected tilt
satno action will bo taken as In tbo Wordei
case that of securing a writ of babeaf
corpus.
Durrani's first effort to gain a respite bj
appealing to the federal courts has failed
United States Circuit Judge Gilbert having
refused today to , issue the writ of habeas
corpus for which his attorney applied. No-
tire of the Intention tn appeal to the United
States supreme court has been filed and to
morrow application for leave to anneal wll
be made formally. This , however , may be
refused , as tn the Butler case , although Dur
rani's attorneys are confident that the leave
will bo glvtn.

WASHINGTON , Juno 2. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Chicory Interests will be partially
taken care of by the senate committee on
Inancc. Senator Thuratou has labored untir
ingly with iLombcre of the committee to M-
euro the concessions desired by his con-
stltuents. The finance committee has agreed
that a tariff of 1 cent per pound will be
placed on , chicory root dried or roaated but
not ground and 2',4 ' cents on manufactured
preparation. This 13 substantially the Ding-
ley bill.
There will not be any new sugar schedule ,
according to one of the best informed sen
ators Interested In this branch of the tarllT.
Ho said that there might be some modifica
tions made in the paragraph as reported by
the senate committee , but if made they would
bo an additional hurt to the Sugar Trust.
Ho suggested as the most likely change that
ad valorem must pay duty on prices at the
port of entry -Instead of port of export , as
now wi the statute books through the Wil
son bill. If this Is done It will permit the
secretary of the treasury to fix the price at
stated Intervals , say once a week , baaed on

WASHINGTON , June 2. Mr. Tlllman ot
South Carolina , soon after the assembling of
the senate , esked consideration of a resolu
tion reciting Iho circumstances of the enact
ment of the South Carolina dispensary law ,
Its effect In reducing Intemperance , Ihe re
cent decision of a federal judge , overlhrow-
Ing the law and requiring the state , to "re
open the bar rooms. " The resolution then
directs the judiciary committee to consider
and report what legislation Is necessary to
restorelo South Carolina Ha right to regu
late the liquor traffic in its owq way.
Mr. Tlllman rpoke briefly liu support of the
resolution , saying the public Impression that
the dispensary law was a money making de
vice was errcneous and that it had accom
plished much good In regulating the liquor
traffic.
There was objection to the preamble and
finally Mr. IJoar of Massachusetts , chairman
of the judiciary committee , propcaed a sub
stitute omitting all the preamble and simply
directing the judiciary committee to consider
and report by bill or otherwise what legisla
tion , if any , la necessary to carry out the
statute of 1690 relating to commerce between
the statcfl. Mr. Tlllman accepted the sub
stitute and It was agreed to.
The first formal notice of a tariff speech
was made by Mr , Mantle , silver republican of
Montana , who said he would address the sen
ate Friday on the wool schedule.
The tariff bill waa then taken up. Mr ,
Aldrlch , who has been In charge thus far ,
was not present and Mr. Allison of Iowa and
Mr. Platl of Connecticut sat together and
directed the course of the bill. Mr. Stewart ,
populist of Nevada , prefaced tle | debate by
offering an amendment proposing the main
tenance of a treasury reserve.
The flrsl paragraph on Iron ore went over
at the request of Mr. Quay , The paragraphs
on Iron In pig and bar Iron were the same
In the bouao and senate bills.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas took occasion , how
ever , to make a statement to show the ab-
surdlty , ho said , of keeping up the taxes
on these products , when the American pro
ducer had absolute control of the market
and shipped large quantities abroad Mr
Jones reviewed the dissolution .of the steel
rail combination , This reduced the price of
steel rails BO per cent , he said , and why
should a law protect producers who could
by combination , double Ihelr prices on sleel' '
rails ? Ho spoke also of the effect of this
combination and that on wire nails In raU- '
IHB the prlco to American consumers , while- '
the same goods were being sold at lower
prices to foreigners. It was a condition , he
areerted , which should arouse the people from
ocean to ocean , until they stamped to pieces
Ihe combinations , *
Mr. Caffery , democrat of Lolilslana , also
spoke generally against the rates of the
metal schedule , Ho maintained that our
manufactured goods were , being shipped
abroad tu enormous quantities , and that < be
tariff on ( lie raw materials embarrassed ( his
trade.
The paragraphs were agreed to on round
iron in cells or rode , beams , girders , etc. , .
boiler or other plato iron or steel , Iron or
etccl anchors , etc.
A Jlscucalon arose on paragraph 125 relat
ing to hoop , band and scroll Iron , Including
the banda used In baling cotton , Mr , Vest
offeied an amendment to strike cotton tics
from the dutiable list. The amendment wan
defeated yeas , 21 ; nays , 28 ; and the para
graph was agreed to as reported.
On the Vest amendment on cotton ties
Messrs. Prltchard ot North Carolina and De-
bo * of Kentucky were the only men from
southern sections voting tn the negative ,

A contest arose ovcr tln plato In para
graph 130. The house fate ww 1J4 cents
per pound , senate 1 4-10 cents1 ! "
Mr. Vest moved an amendment reducing
the rate to 1 2-10 , Ho characterized the pro
posed rate BS indefensible and outrageous.
Whatever had been the condition , of Uie tinplate
plato Industry It was no\r on Ita feet. As
an eminent republican authority had nild ,
when tineo infants grew to the rlze ot ocvon
feet high , they were ready to kick your head
off if you did nol give them * hol they want.
The senator said he had been Informed by
tin plate mo : < tint they controlled the market
and needed no more protection. But the
habit of protection wrn like the drink habit ,
Mr. Vest said , the more you hove the more
you want , and If you stop there Is delirium
trcmcns. Thcro Is no cure for It.
"Not even the gold cure. " suggested Mr ,
White , to which Mr. Vrat assented.
Mr. White also cpoko against the rates on
tin plato. He pointed out the'cffcct of the
j high rates In the canning of fruit and of oal-
j mon on the Pacific co-aU , The senator read
i letters from prominent canncra In California
i naylng the Industry would have been wiped
I cut If It had not been for the.rebate nllow-
j j once.
i Mr , Gray of Delaware followed In the same
j lines. Baying this tin plate rate was one of
the flagrant features of the bllH
Mr. Jones of Arkansas said an association
of tin plate manufacturer had been formed
and had advat'cod ratto. < W their goodc , while
refusing to advance the wagtssof labor.

On paragraph 133 a provislonjwas added by

restored as originally In the house bill.
There was something of a s6rprlbe In- par

moved an amendment reducing the rate from
2 cents to 1 % cents per pound ! Ho spoke ol
the use made of these articles by bUck-
smlths. Then a viva vote was , taken on
the amendment. The rr'sponae was listless
on both sides , as few senators wore giving

Mr. Frj'c , who was in the chair , hesitated ,
and then decided thai Mr.ryest'Bainendinent ,

al tho" unexpected result.
Mr. Alllstm looked puzzled , but said he
would nott call for the ayes and 'the nays.
This change was the first lo be made'with

No ipr'llnury olijecl could have produced

less thun a deep conviction in the m'.nds
of the people represented llmt the movement
here betfun will eventually effect permanent
gains In their commercial relations can aa
count for its wide and distinguished charac

ter.Tho avowed aim of the Philadelphia mu
seum Is to aid In the development of com
mercial and Industrial prosperity. No
worthier cause can engage our energies at
this hour , It Is a most praiseworthy pur

bywider and better lields of employment
and easier conditions for the maujca. Buch
an effort commands the mutant approval
of all lovers of mankind , for with It in linked

The producer nnd consumer of both con

touch , nnd nre taught to work together for
the common went. In order that new mnr-
kcls may be opened nnd n larger trndo be
prolltably conducted , the manufacturer must
nave the opportunity of becoming familiar
with the character ot the goods desired by
the consumer. And so , too. Ihe consumer
should have the oppporlunlty to examine
the goods which Ihe rminutaclurer Is anxious
to dispose of to him. It followa then that

I assure the promoters of this enterprise
of the deep Intcrcsl of our government nnd

citizens of Philadelphia , Justly renowned
for the Centennial exposition , which Mist
demonstrated to the world the marvelous
development of our resources , lh.it to them

Impulse nnd a common Interest , will result
In Ktlll closer relations of International

The Pennsylvania division had more than

therefore entitled to "tho horns. " No i'ew '

and the charter of one division , illehlgitn ,

( Cop > right , 1W7 , by I'n-ps I'ul.UnhliiK . CompanyT )
MA1MUD , Spain , Juno 2. ( New York
World Cablegram Special Tolegram. ) Scnor
Canovas handed lo the queen regent today
his resignation-as premier and the resigna
tions ot all the members of his cabinet.
Tht > crisis Is extremely grave. The ex
citement In political and financial circles la
Intense. Never since the death of King Al
fonso XII In 1SS5 has Queen Chilstlna
found herself in so serious and dllllcult a
position. She feels that all eyes abroad , aa
well as in Spain , are turned toward her at
this Juncture. She perceives that the friends
of the Canovas administration and the op
position all look to her for a solution ot Iho
crisis , because In a country whcio elections
never fairly represent the leal public senti
ment , where the Parliament and the elective
bodies are packed to suit the purposes oC
the powers that be , all classes naturally ex
pect from royalty the supreme decision In
hours of peril , when rival parlies seek lo
enlcr Iho councils of Iho regency or when ,
public opinion , the press and the opposition
seem adverse to the policy of the party In
onice.
When Senor Canovas obtained fiom the ,
queen today a royal decree suspending the
sittings of the Cortes indefinitely because
ho was unable to carry on the government
longer on account of the liberals refusing
to attend the queen asked him If thcro was
no way to re-establish harmonious relations
between the government aud the opposition.
Senor Canovas replied that he could not BCO
any way to do so , and therefore tendered
Iho resignation of the whole cabinet in or
der to give full scope to the regency In ar
riving at a decision. The queen requested
him to como to the palace again tomorrow
\vlth all hls ministerial colleagues lo confer
wilh her. 'Afterward she will , as usual , con
sult the leaders ofall Uici'rirlnClpalip.artiea
and the presidents of 'the.Senate' ' . ' anil tho"
Chamber of Deputies 'before taking nnal
action.
HER WAY 19 CLOUDKD.
The queen has played her parl as the. con-
.stltutlonal ruler ot Spain admirably for
twelve ycaie. Therefore , most Spaniards re
spect her and have great confidence In her
Judgment. Nevertheless ehe naturally feels
a hesitancy in making a dcclsicn fraught
with such momentous consequences to not
only the homo policies ot Spain , but , what
Is far more serious , the iclatlons' between
and International consideration. Her maj
esty knows beforehand that the ! gravest slg-
prchenda that any change In policy and gov
ernment must bo dictated chiefly by colonial
and international coiiDidcrati-ns. Her ina-
Jcaly knons beforehand lhal the gravest sig
nificance will be attached at home and abroad
to her decisions. She may keep Senor Cano
vas as premier with his conservative cabinet.
Intact or modified , and keep General Weylcr
In Cuba lo persevere In his present policy
wllh Ihe ample means recently voted by Iho
Cortes. She may call upon Senor Sagasta
to form a liberal cabinet , In which Senor
Morel , probably , would be minister of foreign
affairs with opportunity to follow his well
known Inclination to come to an underhand-
Ing with the United Statce ; Senor Maura , Iho
grcal home ruler , minister to Ihe colonies ;
Marshal Lopez Domlnguez , war minister ;
Spaln'a bcsl financier , Senor Gamzo , minis
ter of finance ; and which probably would
send Marshal Campos lo Cuba with full
power to conciliate the Insurgents and loyal-
lute by establishing more radical homo rule
than Scnor Cinovaa contcmplaled and ! uua
dltarm the United States.
LOOKS LIKE SAGASTA.
The queen can only pursue the latter
course after duly considering all the prca-
pcclH , because it would bo virtually staking
everything on the uccct of a liberal gov
ernment and policy. The liberals seem con
fident ; the conservatives arc downcast , la
the military clubs and In political circles ,
the majority bcllovco that Scnor Ssgasta will
be called upon to organize a liberal govern
ment ,
The conversation of Oaro/as with the queea
lasted more than an hour , Canovca clearly
stated that the moment had arrived when
the crown should decide If the ministers still
pauicfised the full confidence of the regent to
persevere In the colonial and homo policy , or
whether It were better to confide the rcln
of government to other hands. The queen
calmly replied she uould take time to con
sider the question , meanwhile accepting the
resignations of the ministry , The general
Impression tonight is that Saga&ta Is likely
to como In , a Canovas could hardly reverse
hla colonial policy or lecall Weylrr.
