ttioa tb urgency deScleacy bill, and Juet

n the'np in which it wa reported to
lb senate b the commute.
During. tt c,-iy .part of tb session tha
case of Judg Arthur. H. Noyea of th dis
trict eourt of Alaska and Alexander Mo
Kensla and others' was discussed.
Mr. MoCumbar of North DaJtet aald he
had no deslr to prolopg tb discussion, but
tnoat villainous charges had been mad
gainst men, charge which he personally
knew to be unfounded and absolutely fstae.
' He declared that certain ayodlcates had
fleslred te obtain control of the whole
Norn (Alaska) country. He believed that
it- would be prematura tor th senate te
render a verdict for or against Judg Ar
thur H. Noyea and Alexander MeKensI
before the eourt kad had opportunity te
pass upon th merit of tbe eass.
DM ftat Kaew McKeasle.
- H ventured th opinion that th senator
from South Carolina ' (Tillman), who rep
resented . a chivalrous - pop!' would not
have mad th charge againat tb aoouacd
if he had knewn Alxandr tMcKnal and
been familiar with faot. He declared that
DO parson oould ,pu( a flnff r upoa single
Instance where : Alexander ;'cKD-le or
ndge Noye ever had wroag ' .,ny man of
a doiur. .
Ha paid a high' tribute to both Mr. Mc
Kensle and Judg key and, ta answer te
an inquiry, asserted' that not one scintilla
ef evidencs la contained In th entire reo
erd of. the case that will support tbe charge
ff conspiracy against Alexander MoKenai.
, Mr. McCumber than ntcrd upon an ex
tended statement of the esse againat Ma
Kenale, going lata mlnuta dataila, H
maintained tbat tb order ot th circuit
eourt of appeals of Baa Francisco, who est
s id tb statement of faot eaad 4a tt, in
ordering McKenats te Uraiover property
pt which he was the receiver.
Was alwta Twe Fires.
He asserted that MeKensI' lawyer od
vlaed him that th order of th court' waa
void. McKenal therefor did hot . comolv
with th writ, inasmuch aa if he did h
would be in contempt of aa order of Judg
Noyes.; He therefor . waa between two
Ore.
Referring to tb opinion of the. circuit
court of appeal, Mr. McCumber asserted
tbat fonr-Sftha of it was devoted t the
discussion ot an alleged attempted con
spiracy between Judge Noyea and McKen
al, th greater portion - of the informa
tion concerning which v . came from San
Francisco newspapers.
Ha Insisted that no man could) eoaoetve
of a more heinous Judgment than thta. Tha
parties war not convicted of conspiracy,
but of contempt, and In his opinion aught
pot to have bean punished to. such an ex
tant aa ware McKensla, Noyea and Dubos.

Tbe member ot the court of appeal for
th Ninth circuit, h said, might be .hon
orable men, but he1 wai obliged to judgj
tbm by their aota. That court 'had ton-'"
Tinted Judge Noyes while he waa -1,000
milee away and had arraigned him Ja most ;
rsnurkabl laaguage without aa oppor
tunity of. a keartng.
Reverting to th situation aa Judg Noyes
found it in Alaska, Mr. McOumbar declared
that the mining ayndlcatea had made every
Sort to Drib him,' $20,000 being offered to
him in en sum. Finding it Impossible to
bribe him the syndicate hired, Mr. McCum
ber assarted, a man to mak a perjured affi
davit that Judg Noyes had accepted a
bribe. V , '
These facts, be aald, Had been reported to
th attorney general ef -.the United State,
and for reportlag thess matters to th De
partment ot Justioa Mr. Frost, ha aald, had
been sentenced te prison for on year be
cause hi work bad some ia conflict with
the circuit eourt ot appeala. That, he aald.
waa tka real reason' for Frost'a conviction.
He simply would sot be a creature of the
syndicate."' - '

of barracks, etc;' waa agrsed to. after Mr.
Hala explained that th appropriation waa

A bill providing $480,062 (Mexican) to re

mall gupboats and erdnaao store turned
ever to th Bvy. by the rollUary authorltlea
at Manila caused Mr. Tillman to make aoma
Inquiries. Mr. Hal replied that tbe see re
tary ot the navy. h4 made estimates for
ths purchase of the vessels and; atorea on
the recommendation ot a . board of officer.
Mr. Tillman insisted,; -however, that the
record did not show wherk the vessels earns
from and what had been paid for them.
it aoes not appear from the record,"
h said, "that ths money. was honestly ex
pended. Thin whole bnatnes I eatlrely too

I WASHINGTON. Feb. 5. In hi statement
before the aenat committee on the Philip
pine today Governor Taft dealt especially
with tbe question of th relationship or tb
Civil and military authorities in the Philip
pines and hia explanation vaa received with
much Interest by th member of th com
tnitte. Tha day'a session began with th
understanding that there ahould be no In
terruption by members of th committee
until th presentation of tbla entire branch
of tb subject waa completed.
' Governor Taft aald that originally th
civil and military control ef th Islands bad
been in th hand ot tb mllltaYy and that
naturally ther bad been ome difference ot
opinion between tb military authorltlea
And the eomrpiaalon aa to tha method of pro
ceeding. Thi difference had arisen with
Oeneral MacArthur and thera had been more
or less correspondence ok the subject.
The general had contended that authority
ovar the lalanda waa vested in tbe military
and th representatives ef tbe chief execu
tive, because the lalanda were In a tat of
war. in 'thta view the commission did not
concur. This difference did not' extend te
the control bf the municipalities.
. Ik ' thta connection Governor Taft ex
plained at some length the contention be
tween tie commission and General Chaffee
whicb had, he aald, arisen ovar-the habeas
corput provision la the commlasiou's coda
That prevision had bsen Inserted, h aald,
to protect native officer who urrndred
and who are subject to arrest on charge of
crime, committed while la th Insurrection
service, believed te be contrary to tbe rule
of civilized warfare. Such charge against
thee tnaa were common, and often they
were hnfouDded.
Th provision had been lpvoked la th
Interest of an enlisted man serving In
Cebu, who waa peeking te aecuro hla release
from th military servlee in an indirect
way. Thue,. a conflict had arisen and th
question had been referred to Washington,
with ths result that instructions bad come
hack that the differences might be com
promised. ' "General Chaffee and I are on
the friendliest and moat cordial terms," he
aid, "and We had no difficulty In reaching
an -understanding at a' prolonged confer
nee."" .

RERUN, Feb. 6. The Oersnaa Foreign
office eenflrma tha substantial accuracy .ot
the subjoined statement which ths Krsus
Eeltung prints todsy relative ta Germany's
courss toward the Vetted State during
tb war with Spain; '- '
Th correspondent' of" the Associated
rres understand that tb article wa
prepared by Prof. S'chlemann, professor ot
history at Berlin university, who enjoy
peolal official hourcea-1 of Information.
After a prefae quoting ' tbe statement
made by a British Foreign office official to
a representative of ' th Associated Press
January 21 laat, it lays:" '
Almost exactly four year ago the Span
ish ambansador her asked Germany
whether Germany would lead In action
against the t'nlted States for the protec
tion of the monarchy principle. The an
wer waa a definite refusal, and th same
answer was given a month later, or ahout
the middle of March, when the Invitation
reached Germany t participate In . the
Intervention undertaken upon tbe Initiative
of Austria. .... . .
This wa in the weeks following the aad
disaster of the Maine, when It was believed
Intervention would facilitate an under
standing between the United Statea and
Spain. Nevertheless, the government com
missioned Herr von Radotvlta, the German
ambassador to Spain, to inform the Madrid
government that Germany waa not In a
position to prevent the Spanish-American
war.
After that several attempts were made
to win Germany, or the iirelbund, for In
tervention, In which the pope was espe
cially active. The' final result waa that
pr. voh Holeben, German ambassador at
Washington, was Instructed to ' Join In
the step proposed by Austria, only lr case
alt the other five great powera partlolf ated.
We are unable to state the detail of
how the united action came about. At any
rate the collective note. was handed to the
offlotala at Washington April 1 advlsl.g a
peaceable settlement and wis signeo. by
England, France.- Italy,. Austria, Russia
ond Germany.
Thontkl War Would Be Averted. ;
It waa believed for a week that . war
would be averted. General Blanco received
orders from Madrid to - Otter tha Cuban
insurgents an armistice, tor Spain was re
solved to give them far-reaching autonomy
and to arrive at a settlement of the Maine
question through arbitration.
Ulplomatlo circles, however, entertained
no Illusions, and when KnRlnnd, April 14,
through Ita ambaeaador, proposed a new
collective note, In "which the powera should
declare that Europe regarded America's
armed Intervention In Cuba es unjust, the
Kther ambassadors telegraphed to their
nine governments asking for Instructions.
The step failed through Germany's posi
tive refusal.
essentially different from the KngllHh end.
A rortnlgnt later war was declared.
Afterwards, in June and July, white the
United States waa making great progress
In the Philippines, Bngland tried to Induce
the Spaniards' commission In England to
ask for pesoe- proposals, for to no power
wa tne American enrroaenment in in
Pacific more annoying than to Bngland.
ths above is tne ntaioricai connect-on 01
events. We hope that tn giving the same
we have thoroughly exposed the absurdity
of the English fegand.

Is mad by an official who held a high
position during th early day of the Spanish-American
war and la undoubtedly au
thentic: .. ' . ..;.'.'.
The Spanish sovernment' believed that
Queen victoria would support any otep
taken 'with a- vle-kWo "preventing ie 'war
and coming to 'the1 aid. ef ths aueen f-
f ent. It attrtbutednat that time., perhaps,
oo great an Independence to the lntrvn
tton ot the queen if) the council of th
fcrltlsh government. It wa not Ignorant
or tne fact that Mr. Chamberlain was in
agreement -with Lord Salisbury In the da
sir to render the United States a signal
service, but information of a very conu
sant l&l character,., which reached It con
veyed to the Madrid government the Idea
that any. mission of pacification would be
well received by England. Knrllah so
ciety entertained the moat hoatile spirit
toward the United States. It had not been
able to forget the Venesuela affair and In
lonoon it was tnougnt tn proper tning
to support the Spaniards. - - .
Thus the principal diplomatic effort of
Spain wa brought to bear on the central
European powers, ana mor particularly
RuK(a. It wa not thought that England
would take the Initiative In its favor, but
being convinced and, as it appears, lustily.
so, mat tingiana wouia noi care 10 -una

Justice ci Omaha The opinion of Judge
Keysor sustains the demurrer to the peti
tion, of William d. Voder for1 aa injunction
preventing Isaao 8. Hascall and othera ot
the city council from appropriating, by or
dinance or otherwise, any money for the
payment of the aalary ot Frank E. Moorea
aa .major foe the- month ot January, 1902.
The action is dlsmfaaed at plaintiff's sost.
In the opinion Judg Keysor says:
"It ia conceded tbat the mayor took th
Oath prescribed by -the legislature aa fouad
In section 1 of chapter x of the Compiled
BUMit, aad; that he did not take the oath
provided for by section 1, article xtv, of the
constitution ot this state; . and it is alao
conceded by. counsel on both aides in thi
case 'that If the mayor be not a constitu
tional -tracer tbat, the Injunction prayed for
must be denied
-'Th constitution of Nebraska, ao far aa
the court haa .been , able . to discover, no
where names mayors ot incorporated dtlea
among tha officers for which It provides;
unless ths mayor be a police magistrate.
Whatever may have been the function of
roayof of title in Olden times, the office
of mayor and 'polld Judge are now too
clearly separated to warrant tha court In
finding tbat the framera ot our constitution
intended td embrace mayora in tha term
police magistrate. The court la therefore of
the : opinion 'that tbe constitution do not
embrace mayors'wlthln th term pollc
maglatrat which it employs, and that tha
constitution doe not, in express terms in
clude mayors of cities In the liat of office
which it names'. . ,
. '.'faction 19 ot artlcl t ot the constitu
tion provides that the governor shall have
poiyer to remove, any officer. whom he may
appoint in case ot incompetency and neg
lect of duty or malfeasance In office. Here
again we find the language of the constitu
tion very broad and -general; but the au
proma aourtMn tha case of State againat
Smith, 3S Nebraska, 14, decided that thla
section applied 'only to officers named- in
the constitution. -The court ia therefore of
th opinion that th words, executive ad
