WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.-The United
States supreme court yesterday an
nounced some important changes in
its rules designed to meet cases brought
before court principally for the pur-
pose OF delay. The changes are framed
especially to meet the habeas corpus
cases and are the result of the pro-
ceedings recently had in the Jugigo
electrocution case. The most impor-
tant change is the requirement that all
appeals or writs of error and citation
unless specially ordered otherwise,
must be made returnable to the SUI
preme court within not exceeding
thirty days from the decision of the
lower court. Unless the record and
case are docketed within the specified
time the case must be dismissed by the
court If in session and by the clerk dur
ing vacation time.

port of a cowboy duel near Lander has
been confirmed. The men quarreled
over cards, and, both being on the

Testing the Mckinley Bill.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 23.-Several
St. Louis importers through their
agent Wyman & CO.. have filed suits
against the United States government
TO test the constitutionality OF the Nc
kinley law.
These firms bought goods in Europe
since the passage OF the Mckinley BILL
which went into effect October /, and
were assessed the increased duty on
them when they were taken out of
bond. They paid the excess duty I'M
der protest TO the board OF appraisers
in New York city. The board decided
that the duty imposed was properly as
sessed under the tariff act known as
the Mckinley bill.
The law will be attacked from sew
eral points. 1t will be claimed that it
is unconstitutional tor the reason that
the bill by the senate was not the Same
bill signed by the president as it was
proven that through clerical error
an entire section was left out. Other
equally important points will be men,
toned to prove the bill unconstitu-
tional.
These suits are almost similar to
those entered by Chicago and Cincin-
natl importers.

exhaustive opinion delivered by JUS
tice Elliott and concurred in by Justice
Hoyt and Chief Justice Helm. the SUI

right to remove Speaker Hanna and

was given IN response to question
submitted by the governor as to which

The Alliance Organizing In Iowa.

Dies MoINEs, Ia Jan. 27.-The sub
ordinate organizations of the farmers
alliance are becoming unusually active
in Iowa. In Montgomery county the
county alliance is preparing to start a
weekly paper. 1t will act independent
of the old parties and is ignoring the
prohibition question entirely. In Bu-
chairman county the alliance has been
rapidly gaining in interest during the
last three months and undoubtedly
will figure conspicuously in the next
fall election. A meeting held at In
dependence Saturday showed a full
delegation from the seven organiza..
tons in the county and the comfy al
lance organization was formed with
some OF the strongest men in the dis
tricts as officers. From other parts of
the state come information indicating
studied purpose on the part of the
farmers to organize for separate polit-
iclal action next fall.

WAHINGToN Jan. PA very sig
nificant and amusing announcement
was made in the senate yesterday.
When the roll was being called Mr..
Allison arose and stated that he was
paired with the senator from Kansas,
Mr. Ingalls,, upon all questions affect
ing the cloture resolution and the fed
eral election law. As Mr.. Allison is
in favor of these propositions, of course
Mr.. Ingalls, is against them. Mr..
Allison created n smile when he stated
that Mr.. Ingalls, was absent ut his
home on important business affecting
his personal interests. Very few peo-
pie supposed that Senator Ingalls,
would oppose the cloture resolution,
although it was understood that he
was against the election bill. Senator
Washburn of Minnesota remarked to-
day that while he was in favor of the
cloture rule he WIS opposed to the
election bill and would vote against
1t. There were nine other republicans
who were alse opposed to the election
bill, he asserted, and their opposition
would be sufficient to defeat the meas
ure without any doubt. II Mr.. Wash
burn is right in his canvass there is no
reason why Mr. Hoar should continue
to press the bill. as there would not be
the slightest probability of its passage.

The silver Pool

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-In the sill
yer pool investigation Senator Gamer
on testified that he bought silver on a
margin in the early part of June, be-
fore the silver bill was passed by the
senate, and disposed OF it before the
bill became q law. He had no knowl-
edge of any other senator representa-
tive or official OF the government hav-
ing any interest in the purchase of sill
yer.
Senator Cameron said he bought the
silver just as he would any other COM
modify and gave the matter no thought.
He never knew Owenby, and never
talked with other senators about the
silver pool.
John Tanner OF Illinois knew moth
ing about the silver pools or their
transactions except one dealing of his
own.
The correspondent of the Chicago
paper, k. ID. Bogart, was questioned
relative to the statements made in his
dispatches he having said, among
other things, that Congressman Flower
was in the pool. He said he was re-
peating what was commonly said among
correspondents. He had no personal
knowledge.
Z. G. Dunnell, correspondent of the
New York Times, was asked concern
ing the dispatch sent by him saying in
substance that il Payne and Dingley,
members OF the committee, had known
the relations regarding Cameron would
be made. they would have been reluct-
ant to enter into the investigation.
Dunnell said he got his information
from use of money or any other means
to influence silver legislation. Heden-
berg said he had expended considera-
bic money in this line, of which he is
quite willing to give the committee full
knowledge. His last act, he said. was
a communication addressed to Speaker
Reed regarding the bill now in the COM
mittee, and he said the speaker no
doubt will be willing to give the COM
mittee any facts connected Herewith.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 24.-The vote
in the lower house yesterday afternoon
on the question of referring to a spec
ial committee the memorial from the
union veterans OF Topeka praying for
the return of Ingalls, to the senate and
demanding that no man be selected to
succeed him who could not benefit the
old soldiers more in congress than he.
created some disturbance among the
alliance forces and corresponding con-
fidence among the Ingalls, people. The
question was whether the memorial
should be referred to a special commit
tee or should be spread upon the house
journal. The republicans insisted upon
the latter proceeding, while the alliance
members urged the former. The reso-
luton was finally referred to the COM
mittee by 81 to 80. Thirteen alliance
members voted with the republicans,
while eight democrats voted with the
alliance. This vote is taken as n pos
sible indication OF the vote on senator.
