size of the fee bills filed by the various JUS
tiees of the city in the liquor cases amazed
them, and they passed resolution directing
the county attorney to assist the grand jury
in making an investigation with view
to determining whether a conspiracy
existed among the justices, constables
and searchers. to defraud the county of fees,
while pretending TO enforce the prohibitory
laws. As result of the investigation, in
dictments charging conspiracy to defraud
the county have been returned against the
following constables and assistants, or
searchers. as they are called: William Kel-
Ter, j. Calendar, .. Burdick, o. o. West,
G. B. Hamilton and G.. II. Cleggett.
CHARGE OF THE INDICTMENTS.
The indictments charge the defendants In
a number of counts with defrauding the

Met with Bold Front.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 24-In the Senate
this morning. Mr.. Morgan called up his
resolution directing the committee on priv
ileges and elections to amend section 81 Of
the elections bill.
Mr.. Sherman commanded that it was not
now in order TO call up that resolution ex-
cept upon formal motion.
Mr.. Morgan said that during his service
In the Senate, about fourteen years, no
other practice had been in vogue. He
hkened the present condition of the Senate
to the condition of the sycophantic
Damocles. with single hair holding a
sword suspended over his head.
Yesterday the little state Of Rhode
Island had suspended the sword
over the Senate; over the great states of
Massachusetts, Ohio and New York.
Rhode Island had informed the Senate that
at the will and pleasure, not of the proper
committee, but of the caucus committee,
free speech was to be prohibited. But these
threats were not addressed to sycophants
and towards but to men who knew their
rights. and knowing, ''dare maintain"
The efforts to confne speech came with es-
peclal Ill grace from senator's who had sat
in this chamber for almost twenty years.
CLoTURE IL VARIOUS FORMS.
The Senate was having cloture in various
forms and shapes. After twenty years
quiet agreement on their practice, the
senator from Ohio suddenly had discovered
cloture by implication. This was but the
start of the threat. Mr.. Sherman made
the point of order that Mr.. Morgan was
not entitled to the floor. but
the presiding officer ruled otherwise
and Mr. Morgan resumed his
remarks. If, he said, the sword was swung
oyer the heads Of sycophants and towards,
there might be something in it, but when it
was suspended over the representatives of
sovereign states of the union, the action
would be met in no other manner than by
indignant protest against Its injustice, its
wrongfulness and its improperly. The
President thought he was leading this
movement, which would apply as well to
the financial as to the election bill.
De was doing it Just as gnat was moving
the buffalo on whose horn he rested. The
movement was in the hands of the senator's
on this floor who were aspirants for the
presidency. Pending further debate the
hour of II o'clock arrived and Mr. Nc
Pherson continued his speech against the
elections bill
At 12:45 O'Clock, on motion of Mr.. Hosr.
the Senate adjourned till Saturday at noon
with the understanding that at that time
the Vice President shall declare the Senate

ILLINOIS LRGISLATURE.
Both Parties Trying to Gain Control
by Contests.

SPRINGFIELD. Ill, Dec. 2j.-Notice was
served last night that z. L. Merritts seat
in the legislature would be contested on the
grounds that he had moved to Nebraska
and was not a resident Of Illinois, as re-
quired by law. Mr. Merritt is a democrat.
and the closeness of the legislature In the
coming election for United States senator
makes the contest important. Mr.. Merritt
admits having engaged experimentally for
time in business at Omaha, but he says he
did not remove his family. aud consequently
remained q resident here. Contests involv-
ing two republican members are also
hanging.
FIVE SEYAToRsHIPs AT STAKE.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2l-Chairman "Longn
Jones of the republican state central com
mittee gave notice Tonight that the right
of five democratic state senators-elecs to
sit in the legislature would be contested.
This is the latest maneuver in the fight for
the United States senatorship from Illinois.
The notices were withheld until the last
momenT allowed by law, the mstive
for the delay being, ii is understood, to
avoid stirring up the democrats to possible
reprisals. The state senators upon whom
notice was served are Messrs. Noonan Of
the First district, Caldwell OF the Thirty
ninth, Arnold Of the Fifteenth, Dawlsius Of
the Seventeenth, and Coppinger Of the Forty
first. General charges q bribing voters
with money and promisf of Office in the
organization of the genaral assembly are
the main grounds for the con tests. except
as to Dawkins. who is alleged to be ineligi-
bic because of foreign birh.
EIGHT CONTESTS ON HAND.
With the contest against Mr.. Merritt OF
Springfield there is now a controversy
raised as TO an even half dozen democratic
seats and pair Of republicans. The legisla-
ture is almost evenly divided between the
democrats and the republicans on a joint
ballot, with three farmers alhancemen ap-
parently holding the balance of power
The avowed candidates so far are:
Gen. John M. Palmer, democrat, and
Charles R. Farwell, republican, who is tue
present incumbent The struggle promises
TO be fully as fierce and Sensational as the
memorable one in which the late Gen. John
A. Logan defeated William X. Morrison,

companies throughout the coal districts to-
