1'nsncil Upon ,
LINCOLN , Aug. 28. ( Special. ) There Is
a good prospect for further litigation In
connection with the claims of the ex-officers
of the Homo for the Friendless and those
who furnished supplies to the Institution
during the last two years. These claims ,
aggregating In amount over $5,000 , have
been oasscd unon by the Board of Public
Lauds and Buildings , allowed by the auditor
and sent to the secretary for approval.
They have been on Die In his ofllce forever
over a month , but as yet have received no
consideration , Secretary Porter has in
formed several of the claimants that ho In
tends to examine the claims as soon as ho
can find tlmo to do so. This Is merely an
excuse to block the payment of claims'that
have been properly passed upon and al
lowed.
It In asserted 'that ' the secretary of state
has no authority to decide whether such
claims are Just or not ; that It Is not his
duty to approve the allowance of claims
nlmply for the purpose of establishing a
lecord In hla office of the work that Is being
done bv the auditor. Ho cannot refuse lo
sign them , It Is alleged , and 'consequently
his only excuse for the delay Is that ho Is
too busv to consider thorn.
The claimants have endeavored In every
peaceable \\av to Induce Secretary Porter
to allix his slcnaturo to their vouchers sc
that they may secure their warrant * and
It Is now thousht that about all that re
mains to bo douo Is to force him to do this
by mandamus proceedings.
Action on the claims of the officers of the
Homo for the Friendless who were ap
pointed In 18D7 by Governor Holcomb which
were to have been taken up by the auditor
today , has been deferred , pending a decis
ion from the attorney general's office
These claims ore for salary from the tlmo
they were appointed until they were finally
eoated In April , and are as follows : Mrs. C
S. Jonra , $1,700.35 ; Dr. Leonoro Perky
$1,214.02 ; J. M. Osborn , $760.
Orders .will bo Issued 'by ' Colonel Campbell -
boll tomorrow to the various companies o
the Second regiment ordering them Into
annual cn.mp . of Instruction at Lincoln park
near this city , September 9 to 14 , Inclusive.
The claim of F. B. Hubbard , deputy fooi
commissioner , for salary amounting to $12o
was allowed by Auditor Cornell this after
noon. Some time ago Cornell announced
that this claim would not bo allowed because
the appropriation was not specific.

farms , fine herds of cattle and hogs , and
money In the bank. Ho also had a habit
of getting drunk on all possible occasions
and his tragic ending tas been freely pro-

Ycetorday Anderson went to his broth

When Colander and Anderson saw Johnson

; ; SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
The expected "hot time" at the city coun
cil mooting lost nlgh't did not materialize ,
much to the disappointment of the largo
number of citizens gathered to listen lethe
the proceedings * Mayor Ensoc occupied
the chair and called for order at the usual
* : lme. ' All members were present except
' Mr. Fltle , who Is out of the city. After
the ] transaction of some routine business ,
Tralnor offered n resolution declaring the
office of city attorney vacant , alleging cer
tain neglect on the part of this official. Kelly
opposed the resolution , saying that the
name matter was to come before the coun
cil In another form and for that reason ho
did not s o any necessity for duplicating
documents. Bennett , Wear and Kelly voted
against the resolution and It waa declared
lost.
Next In Importance came the Introduc
tion of nn ordinance providing for the trial
and removal from ofllce of any officer
elected by the qualified voters of the city ,
or from any ward or district thereof , for
misconduct In office , nnd also for the flll-
Ine .of such vacancies. According to this
oroinancc when nn elective officer Is guilty
of any violation of the laws of the state
or ordinances of the city , or otherwise guilty
of misconduct In office , ho shall bo subject
to removal. All complalnta and charges
must bo filed In writing and sworn to. The
council shall select seven members to sit
nnd act ns a tribunal , the said tribunal to
have power to organize Itself , Issue proces
ses , administer oaths , etc. In no case shall
the accused bo selected as a member of the
tribunal. Such hearings shad bo conducted
as nearly as possible on the lines of a court I
of Justice , and five votes shall decide tbo
guilt or Innocence of the official on trial.
Meetings of this tribunal may be held
nt any tlmo Or at any convenient place In
the city. This ordinance , after Its first
reading , was referred to the Judiciary com
mittee , and was reported back for passage.
An attempt was made to suspend the rules
and secure a second reading , but this railed.
It Is presumed that this ordinance merely
lays the groundwork for the proposed trials
of Mayor Ensor nnd City Attorney Mont
gomery.
Deputy Sheriff Dell Plerco served the
mayor and members of the council TVlth an
order from Judge Fawcett restraining them
from passing the ordinance repealing the
franchise granted to the Magic City Elec
tric Light and Power company. The hear
ing of this case Is set for September 11. At
the suggestion of Kelly a resolution was
passed directing that special counsel bo em
ployed to assist the city attorney In fight
ing this case. The voltage used by the
new company Is not favored by the council ,
and It Is further declared that the franchise
has no no legal standing on account of the
fact that the franchise ordinance was passed
and the bond filed prior to the tlmo of the
Incorporation of the company.

At last night's meeting of the Board of 1'

Wonderful Self-Itcstratnt.
The world will never know the restraint
of our soldiers their self-control under the
most exasperating conditions. For weeks
subjected to the insults and dupllcky of the
Insurgent leaders they preserved the status
quo , remembering that they were under an
order from their government to sacredly ob-
serve the terms of the protocol In letter and
spirit and avoid all conflict except In de
fense , pending the negotiations of the treaty
of peace. They were not the aggressors.
They did not begin hostilities against the
Insurgents pending the ratification of the
treaty of peace In tbo senate , great as was
their Justification , because their orders from
Washington forbade It. I take all the ro-
sponslbllity for that direction. Otis only
executed the orders of his government , and
the soldiers , under great provocation to
strike back , obeyed. Until the treaty was
ratified we had no authority beyond Manila
city , bay and harbor. We then had no other
title to defend , no authority beyond that to
maintain. Spain was still In possession of
the remainder of the archipelago. Spain had
sued for peace. The truce and treaty were
not concluded.
The first blow was struck by the Insur
gents. Our kindness was reciprocated with
cruelty , our mercy with a Mauser. The flag
of truce was Invoked only to be dishonored.
Our soldiers were shot down when ministerIng -
Ing to wounded Filipinos. Our humanity
was Interpreted' ' as weakness , our forbearance -
anco as cowardice. They assailed our sov-
SECURITY.
