send of the United State district court,
New Haven,, Coijn., who originally decided
the Porto Rlcan tariff cases, tho dcclsloii
of which by the supreme court has caused
so much comment. In his address tonight
be said:
"Air. .Chairman: I was greatly Interested
yesterday in the satirical, though forclblo
address of the eminent gontlomnn from
Maine-. . I honor his coiiragc, ability and
independence, but, air, I listened In vain
throughout the uutlre address for any
statement of law or fuct to' support his
assertions that tho decision of tho su
premo court was contrary' to precedent nnd
authority. Ffom the time of tho Loulsana
purchase, In 1803, down to tho. treaty of
Spain, in 1898, the treaty-making power of
the government haa exercised tho right to
deal as It saw nt with the status of the
Inhabitants of ceded territory, and, aa Mr.
Justice Brown, says In his opinion, tho
statutes passed in pursuance, of tho Lou
isiana purchase show tho view of congress
that a discrimination In favor ot foreign
vessels trading with tho ports of a nowly-
acqiilred territory 13 .no. violation of tho
clauso ot tt3 constitution that declares no
preference shall be given to the ports or
one stato.ovcr those or another. The same
practical construction was nut on the con
stitution In the. case of tho purchase of
Florida and In (he annexation ot Hawaii.
Cite Ills Cases.
"Now, gentlemon, 100 years ago the su
premo court of tho United States said that
contemporaneous construction, -"especially
when long acquiesced .In, wns very strong,
It not controlling, with reference to tho
provisions of the constitution. In Insur
anco company -against Cauler, Chief Jus
ttce Marshall expressly left open tho ques
tlon whether any act of congress was neces
sary to Incorporate the Inhabitants ot
nowlv-arnulred territory. -For 100 yenrs we
,havo acted upon tho theAry that such act
of congress, was necessary; that the Im
position of different rates of duty was not
In violation ot tho constitution, and in (Un
civil war we stamped out the heresy that
tho constitution followed the flag. ,
"And ao, gentlemen, I rejolco In this
great decision ot the supreme court that
tho frame r of the constitution must havu
Intended that this country thould come forth
not born aa a cripple Into tho family ot
nations, bu( that It should possess all tho
essential attributes of sovereignty, which
would, enablo It to govern Its possessions
according to the best interests ot the
American people and subject only to those
prohibitive provisions of tho constitution
which guarantee protection . against Inter
terenco with natural rights."

Colombian revolutionists under General
Uflbe-Urlbe. President Castro has also
sent a good supply of Ammunition.
News from Venezuela confirms the report
that the republic Is absolutely quiet, not
withstanding a fear of a general uprising
on the Colombian frontier, due to the proc
lamation of President Castro that Vene
zuela waa being nttneked by the conserva

There Is excellent authority for the state

by liberals, Is being arranged. The lender
of thla revolution Is now In New York. I

Assistant Engineer T. Jordan of tho Bur
lington system was' askedt as ' to railway-
bridge building in general. "In the ex
perience of tho modern railroad," ho said,
'few bridges havo had. to be replaced In
tho last quarter of a century- because, they
havo worn out; Tho lncroascd demands of
traffic have made them out ot dato, either
bocauso they 'werOf not wide enough for
double-tracking or-bocauso they were not
built tor such loads as we are now putting
In cars, In building bridges, the weight
and speed ot trains must be taken Into
consideration so aa. to avoid slowing down
as much as possible. Take the ordinary
bridge without a Mraw In 'It for tho pas
sage ot boatB, no train Is expected to slow
down because of it, because that section of
track Is supposed to be as firm as any other..
Few people rcaltzQ how carefully bridges
must bo constructed In order to stand. In
tho margin between the extremes of, heat
and cold In this climate a steel bridge will
expand arid contract .12 ot Its length, aud
to allow for this ono end of a bridge Is
hung from a giant link that swings to
allow for expansion at one pier. In the
trusses of tho truss bridges the steel sec
tions pinned together must be within .64
of an Inch In length between the drilled
holes for tbo pln3. To accomplish this, each
section of steel must be at exaotly the
came- temperature aa tho others at the tlruo
of drilling. The drills which cut .them aro
fixed to a steel shaft which expands or
contracta according to tho atmosphere of
tho shop In which tho bridge steels are
kept to drilling. Thcso pieces are clamped
together tightly and bfrcd according to
pattern. Insuring that each piece will bo
just the same length of tho others when
ever they are ot the same temperature.
'Ab to Iron or steel bridges under strain
ot traffic one ot the theories of these metals
la that constant strain and Jarring tend to
make them 'tired.' This is a .weakening
process brought about by tho crystallizing
of the molecules, making a bar much more
likely to snap. In 1891 one ot this com
pany's bridges was still standing over the
Mississippi river at Burlington, In., whejo
tt had stood since 1S68. It was an Iron
bridge, aa steel bridges were unknown nt
he tlmo of the building of it.
"The company decided to take out ono
span of this structure In ordor to test the
condition of tho bridge Irons. It was a
costly bit- ot experimenting, especially aa
It proved that the iron was ftp good as it
was when U was put Into the atructuro
twenty-six years boforc. It was In such
good condition that the last piece of it
was put back and stayed there until It was
found necebsary to tako the hrtdgo down
to make way for double tracks. On this
bridgo all trains had been run Blovrly, not
becnusa ot tho bridge, but because of tho
draw that was In li. A state law compels
tho stopping of all trains before reaching
the draw of any bridge and this means al
ways that trains have to be run slowly to
bo under sufficient control,"

Island tracks to Rokcby, seven miles from
this city, but the trait wns lost completely
at-that place. Two freight trains, going In
opposite directions, passed -over the ttacks
In that vicinity about midnight and It is
generally believed by tho authorities that
the men must havo boarded out of them.
Both trains were searched within a few
miles of Lincoln, however, and no t,rnco of
the men could be found.
At midnight Captain Ireland ot the po
lice department said to tho reporter:
'Thore Is nothing tangible to give out to
night concerning the Glllllnn murder. Wo
hnvc been working on all supposed leads,
but so far as I know nothing definite In
tho way of a clue haa been found. The
report thnt two men found In n corn
field near Rokeby were arrested and
brought to the penitentiary for safekeeping
Is untrue. Only ono nrrcat has been made
in connection with this- case and there
Bccms to bo no reasonable ground for the
suspicion which was at first fastened upon
him. That man la Redmond, a printer.
There may bo arrests tomorrow and there
may not; it depends entirely on develop
ments. 1'
Notwithstanding the silence of tho po
itco authorities, It Is learned from a re
liable source that several men In this city
are under suspicion. Chief Hoagland and
Detcctlvo Mnlono nre giving the cose their
undivided nttentlon, but both refuse to give
any Information to the public. There Is
,n growing opinion thnt the murdctcra
boarded a southbound train -nt Rokeby nnd
returned to Lincoln and tho poitco arc
working, nnw on this supposition.
Tho victim was a popular man In IhU
city and It Is not known that ho had an
enemy anywhere. He wns possessed ct
strong determination and tho generally ac
cepted theory Is that ho showed tight when
the footpads attempted to' hold him up, and
that the shots wero .fired by them for their
own self-protection. There Is some ground
for the belief that tho murder waa pre
meditated, but the frlcndB and relatives of
the dead mnn arc unablo to suggest any
mqtivo for such a crime.
A Jury waa summoned this afternoon by
Acting Coroner Branson, sheriff of the
county, nnd the testimony of several wit
nesses was heard. All evidence, in brief,
was to tho effect that threo shots were
fired, the first two In quick succession, with
an Interval of ten seconds' time between
the second nnd third. Two men wero later
Bren running cast on Q street, but: no.ono
gave ch'nso and they'soon disappeared. -The
natural presumption ,ts..that. these, men nre,
the. -ones ."yjho .killed, Olllttaii,. All three
shotsientored .tbe'm'an's breast, .., ,
W. II- Dorunn's tttory. ,
Perhaps the' most pertinent -testimony Is
that furnished, by W. H. Dorgan, who re
sides on F street, close by Seventeenth.
Here is ,his .story:
"My wife and I had been up to my sis
ter's on D street, next to Bryan's. Wo
came home about 10 o'clock. As wo got
nenr the aouthweat corner of Seventeenth
and F streets I noticed n man standing
at the corner. Ho had hla back toward me
nnd .nevor turned as wo camo by. He waa
evidently not caring to bo scon. Ho waa
out in the atreet about threo or four feet.
Ho was a man of average hulld, neither
heavy nor light. I passed him up nt the
time as a tramp. His hat waa an old one.
a slouch, with drooping brim, and his coat-
was too big 'for him. In fact, his clothes
did not seem to fit him nt oil. Diagonally
across tho street stood another man, who
was seemingly doing bis best to nvold at
tcntlon, but doing nothing else. Now thnt
I recall the matter, I .believe tho man
nearest mo mny havo been disguised, I
had Just got Into bed wlioi -I heard tho
ahots. I got up at once and looked out of
the front window, but Just then a car camo
along and I concluded somo boys had placed
cartridges on the track. I know nothing
about it till morning, but I am quite posl
tlve that I could tell the fellow If I over
see him again. He la Just aa plain in my
eye now as then."
What W. I,. Anderson Saw.
Tho first to reach the sceno of tho tragedy
was Walter L. Anderson, n young attorney
of tho city. He was walking north on the
east side of Seventeenth street and to tho
best of his recollection was near D street
when the quick reports of tho 'rovolvor
renched hlB cars. Of the last" report he
saw the Mash nnd took It to do nt ins
curbline, as the Jet of the ftamo was dl
rected, to tho west and Inclined r-llghtly
downwnrd. Not In tho least suspicious of
a crime, he walked on. His first surmise
was1 that somo man was drunk on tho way
bomo and, being reckless, was ahooilng
his roolvor simply to -see what a noise he
could make, When opposite tho plnco
whoro the body lay Mr. Anderson hoard r
desp groan, but was only confirmed in nis
bollcf thnt tho man on tho curb was heavily
Intoxicated. This waa dispelled, howevor,
when bo walked a few feet farther, to tne
spot where tho struggle llrst began, nnd
row n scattered nrray or papers aim
azlncs. TheHe he took to bo account pa
pers nnd then ho concluded that a man

illUOl ,fW nuu. .... -- . -
He returned to the bony 01 ar, "'"
nnd discovered the presence of blood on
his 'clothes. . ,
In tho meantime others wero coming to
the scene, among them Paul Fitzgerald,
Ho Immediately ran for Dr. Wilkinson, a
few doors beyond on Seventeenth street.
Tho ijoctor and his wife had heard the shota
and suspected thnt something was wrong,
Tho doctor was roady to go Instantly, but
reached tho body nftor tho man was dead.
There was nothing to bo done, so ho did
not examine the wounds. With others ho
waited near and It waB two hours before
Sheriff Branson, who acted for the absent
coroner, arrived and the body was removed
by Undertaker Heaton to the homo.
Dr. Hill Describes FtiKltlves.
Dr. Frank W. Hill of 1833 O Btrcet s'aw
the fleeing mejl from hla window nnd was
able to give a description of them. One was
a short man of little Icbs than medium
height w'lth shoulders decidedly stooped and
tho other was considerably taller and rather
slender. Both wero dressed in black and
wore slouch bats. When seen by Dr. Hill
they were running nlong the walk toward
his house, uot very fast, but at a good,
steady gait, such as they could keep up. As
they passed ha called to them to bait, but
they paid no heed to tho command. Twice
more he hailed them, -but thoy continued
their pace, aa If they did not hear him,
