LINCOLN , April 18. ( Special. ) The belief
_ ! now general that the Nebraska National
Guard will be called upon to form part of
the army for the Invasion of Cuba-and
very preparation Is being made , both at
the headquarter * and by the Individuals
who make up the guard. The Indications are
that there will be no shirking when the call
ccmes. Instead ot there bslng any applica
tion * for discharges there Is a Hood of en
listment papers coming In , being sent by
companies that are recruiting to their full
vstrenrth , About 200 new mcmberg of the
guard have been enrolled In the last ten
days. In one Instance , that of the Light In-
fantrir of Lincoln , the terms of a number
ot tty * members will expire within the next
mont * , and 'so far as. can be learned all of
them will apply fcr rc-cnllstmcnt. The new
clothing and equipment for the guard will
all b ? here Jn a few days , the caps and
some other articles having already been re
ceived.
The Second regiment band , which was
mustered Into the service hero at Lincoln
In 1895 , has become disorganized , only about
a dozen of the members being hero at the
present time , and no effort being made to
keep up an active organization. On thta ac
count It Is probable that during th's week
the members will be furnished their dis
charges , and the Hastings band will be
mustered In as the regimental band. It Is
epld tbat the Hastings band Is a strong or
ganization , and that tta members arc anx
ious to get mustered In In time to go south
with the regiment. This Is also the desire
of the officers of the department , at they
want to have a good band of music with the
Nebraska troops.
GATHERING STATISTICS.
The labor bureau has furnished blanks to
the precinct assessors all over the niite ,
upon which ore to be returned the agri
cultural and Industrial eatlstlcs. Tbe In
structions are that a blank be filled out by
etch taxpayer , showing the amount ot grain
raised , yield per acre , number ot acres
planted thla year , number of bands employed
and average wages paid. In the cities and
towns complete reports are to bo made on
all manufacturing enterprises , Including
product turned out , number ot bands em
ployed and wages paid. Thla will double the
work of the asacc orn and much complaint Is
j being made. It Is found that , ln the rural
districts the taxpayers have kept no account
of their farming operations for the last year
end each visit of the assessor will necessitate
a long delay , wblle the farmer figures over
hi * affaire and tries to remember how much
v > fieat he raised , the total wages paid to the
hired man and the kinds ot grain sowed and
number of acres to be cultivated during the
present season. The areessora get no pay
for this extra work and many of them are
' orry they were elected. Some of them have
figured out that rather than spend eo much
time wllti each person It will be cheaper to
have extra blanks printed and mall them to
the taxpayers In ad\once ot the visit , eo
tbat the statistics ir.ay be made up and ready
when the officer comes to list the property.
In such eases , however , the assecsors have to
pay the expense ot the extra printing and
postage. The Information to be gathered will
be of great value to the public and If the
aEeecsors do their wbolo duty tbe state will
receive much benefit from the work.

Miss McHugh's topic waa "Tbe Merchant
of Venice , " hi which she declared Portia
and not Shylock , to bo the central figure.
She , however , presented a thoughtful portrayal
trayal of the Jew's character , emphasizing
the majestic conception with which Henry
Irving Invents It. To Ellen Terry she ga\c
the credit of placing Portia In proper rela
tion to the play , as well aa In the rightful
place In the realm of the drama. Portia ,
not didactic , formal , oratorical , but Portia a
normal woman , buoyant and gay , In the
management of her suitors , Insisting on her
right of choice , that she might more ration

LINCOLN , April 18. ( Special. ) Governor
IHolcomb has made aa answer to the sum
jnons of the supreme coiyt of Nebraska , dc- >
nylng Its authority to mandamus the gpvj
crnor. An alternative writ of mandamus
was Issued on the petition of Victor Ildse-
watcr that the governor be required to pro
ceed as directed by law and hear the testi
mony In support of charges filed , Impeaching
certain members of the Omaha Board of
Fire end Police Commlssloaera. The gov
ernor sets up that being a co-ordinate
branch of the state government the court
has no authority over' him. His response
to the .writ Is as follows :
Now comes Siloa A. Holcomb , as governor
of the state of Nebraska , but without In
any way admitting that the law Impose )
on him any obligation whatever to do so ,
and moved thereto solely by that ripped
which Is due from one co-ordinate depart
ment of the government to another , begs t6
Inform the court that ho denies Its power
to coeros him as governor In the abovO en
titled case or In any other matter or thing
for ith > 2 following reasons :
1. The constitution dec ares that "tho pow
ers of tlie government of this state are
divided Into three , distinct departments the
IcRlHlatlvc , executive and Judlc'al ' nnd no
person or collection of persons being one
of thcss departments t > hall exercise any
power properly belonging to tl her of the
others , except "as hereinafter expressly dl
reeled or permitted : "
( n ) Thu Is the entire powers of the gov-
rnmcnt divided Into three dittlnct depart
ments , ouch Independent of tlie other.
( b ) Thus arc the members of each one of
hcso departments forbidden to exrclso nny
> f the powers belonging to the other de > -
artmcntR.
2. By your order Issued In the above en-
ltle < l casn you s > ek rte direct how the BOV-
: rnor shall exercise , one of the powers bf-
onKln ? to the executive department. The
ov\cr to direct how a thing shall be dons
H cqulv.i'cnt to th ? pouer to A3 the thing.
he power la exercised by the mind that
ommands and not by the one. that obeys.
Under the constitution you are forbidden
, o exeirclio any of the powers of the ex-
cutlve , therefore you > are forbidden to say
low or when or where ths executive power
hall b ? exercUed.
3. The judicial departme.nl when measured
> y the order In which It Is named In the
onstltutlon IB third and last In rank It
icrtalnly Is not made by the constitution
npjrlor to the other two departments ; yet
y your honors' command to me ns BOV-
rnor you asaumo a position not of equality
mt of super'orlry ' ; for a. command never
issues properly from an equal to an equal ,
ut always from a superior to an Inferior ,
'ho judicial department Is not superior to ,
nit co-ordinate and equal with the execu-
Ive department and hence under the constl-
utlon. It has no power to command the
xccutlve.
4. This thought ! Is fortified by the statute ,
which provides that the -writ of mnndamu-J
may Issue only to Inferior tribunals , cor-
> oratlon > > , boards , or persons ( Code , sec-
Ion G45) ) . The governor Is not an Inferior
rlbunal , corporal-ion , board or person.
NOT UNDEtt COURT'S ORDERS.
6. While the constitution gives you orlg-
nal jurisdiction In mandamus cases , the
ttatute flx a the subjects over which yu
may exerclso jurisdiction. These subjects ,
as we have , seen , are limited to Inferiors.
The executive , not being your Inferior. Is
not subject under either the constitution
or the statute to your command.
6. The governor Is not above the law , t > ut
a subject to It. If , 'nowever , he violates
: he law ho Is responsible only to a court
of Impeachment or the people , and to no
other power : In this respect he Is In Iden
tically the same position as the members
of the judicial department. If they or any
of them violate the law they are not re
sponsible to the executive , but to a court of
Imncachment or the people , and to no other
nowpr whatever.
7. The governor has 'not refused to In
vestigate the charges preferred by Mr.
Victor Rosewater aralnst the flre and police
commissioners of Omaha "upon t'ne testi
mony to be produced before him. " but he
has refused to go to Omaha to hear said
testlmony-and thus abandon all other public
business for perhaps a "week at a time -when
matters of great state and national Impor
tance were constantly demanding his pres
ence athis ofMco In the capltol. Desirous ,
however , that full justice should be done to
all parties to. the controversy , he directed
that said testimony be taken before a per
son learned In the law , reduced to writing
and then produced before him for his ex
amination and determination. By your
honor's command you seek to overturn the
governor's decision In t'nat respect , for you
have directed that he shall personally hear
the testimony In some other way not de
fined In your command. The method adopted
by him Is. In his judgment , a compliance
with the law requiring Vilm to Investigate
the charges upon the testimony produced
before him. If your honors may contto !
his judgment In this matter then you may
do so In nny other matter. He respectfully
denies that you may control his discretion
cll'ner In this matter or any other.
8. By the constitution It Is made the
solemn duty of the governor "to take care
that the laws be faithfully executed" ( sec
tion 6 , article v ) . No sucYi command Is by
the constitution laid upon the judiciary , ycl
your honors , by your alternative writ ol
mandamus , have assumed to exerclso that
power whlc'n Is not given to you but which
Is given to the governor. With more show
of authority and far less violation of the
constitution might the executive Issue his
mandate to your1 honors whenever. In his
opinion , you have failed to enforce t'ne laws
as written upon the statute books , but such
a mandate would be Intolerable and sub
versive of our constitution.
9. Ab o'.ut ? Independence of each other ol
each department of our government I ? , In
the governor's cplnlon , esE.ntIad to out
form of government and hence to our liber-
tin * : this Independence , was ono of tlv ; chic ;
thoughts cf there who formed both out
state and national -constitutions and was
the dominant motive which Impelled Prenl-
dent Jefferson to refuse obedience to a sub
poena Of the supreme court of theUnltec
States , and that which finally led that grea
tribunal to deny Its own power to man
damus President Johnson.
10. This Is not a personal matter : It does
not Involve merely < the form In which the
testimony officrcd with retpect to th <
charges against the ! Omaha Fire and Police
Commission shall be taken wlwn the gov
crnor In obedience to law shall InvestlgaU
zald charges upon such testimony. Na ; I
rises far above these things. It Involves the
quca'tcn whether the executive shall sub
mlt to what tvi believes to bo a vlolatlor
of the cor.utltutlon or whether he shall , ai
hlH oath requires , defend that conptltutloi
against such violation. It Is , ho firmly be
lleves , the duty f each department to re
train from usurping the powers of th
other departments and It Is equally th ; dutj
of each department to repel the Invasloi
of Its powers by either of the others. He

NEW YORK , April 18. A dispatch to the
[ erald from Washington rays : In view of
paln'e efforts to collect coal at Havana and
an Jucci , no doubt exists In political circles
lot the naval plan tor the Spanish govern
ment contemplates the dispatch of the fleet
o western waters. It Is ofllclally ad-
nltted that Ibis government hail determined
iot to permit American coal to be taken to
he Cape Verde Islands 'on board the British
ramp steamship Hampctcad and that negotlat
: ona are under way for'the sale of that
eeael and Ita cargo to the United States.
Tbo Hampatead , although It was to have
ailed Saturday , hoe not gone and Its pur-
hase will probably ba announced. Officials
dmlt they are trying to meet trick with
rick. There Is but a email amount of coal
t St. Vincent and It would be necessary for
he Spanish fleet to go to some other point
ir fuel within a short time , as the supply at
Tape Verde cannot lott any length of time ,
t was to help the fleet now gathered at that
lolnt that the Hampstead WBS ordered to
iroccsd to Cape Verde after purchasing a
upply at Lambert's Point. This country Is
n need of colliers , eapcclally one already
oaded with ccal , and It would , therefore , be
nly too'glad to take from Spain the vessel
and Its cargo and use It for offensive pur-
oece against Its first employer" .
Official Information received by the au-
horltlca aleo'Indicates ltat there Is but a
