senat or Va ce Presents It Against Seating
oAppoi ted senators.
WASHINGTON, March 90. - Senator
Vance, chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections, in behalf of
the minority of the committee to-day
submitted to the senate report upon
the case of Lee Mantle, finding
that he was not entitled to take
his seat as senator from Mon
tana The report is signed by Sena-
tors Vance, Gray, Palmer and Mitchell.
AS in the case of the majority report
presented yesterday by Senator Hoar,
the minority report deals directly only
on with the claims of Mr.. Mantle, but
both are intended to cover as we'll the
cases of all three of the appointed SEN
ators-Messrs. Mantle, Beckwith and
Allen.
The question presented according to
the report is, could the governor ap-
point senator at the beginning of a
new term, the legislature being in ses-
sion and refusing or failing to elect.
The report quotes the constitutional
provision and the act of 1866 relative to
the election and appointment of sena-
tors and then contends that the original
terms of senators must begin by being
chosen by the Legislature. AS there are
but two ways of constituting senators,
SO there are obviously but two ways of
creating vacancies; one, by the expira-
ton of the constitutional term for
which the senator was elected; the 9TH
er the accidental or unforeseen or uneX-
pected happening" of some casualty
to or upon the incumbent, such as death
before his term ended, resignation, eX:
pulsion, disqualification, or any other
cause that should take him out of the
office to which he was elected.

Ii Is Thought al Extra Session OF Congress
Will lie Called to Meet il September.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-President
Cleveland has told a senator that an ex-
ira session of congress would be called
in September The first work that will
come before congress will be the con-
sideration of tariff bill and bill to
repeal the Sherman silver purchase act.
Secretary Carlisle will soon be engaged
in the work of drafting tariff bill for
submission to the committee on ways
and means when congress convenes.
Some Indignation was displayed by the
democrats when it was suggested that
the administration would present a
tariff bill. Secretary Carlisle has sub
dued this rancorous feeling by explsin-
ing that he would only submit the
necessary data for tariff bill
Bills which Secretary Carlisle will re-
ceive from political and other organi-
cations throughout the country will be
accepted as suggestions only. The
New York Reform clubs tariff bill Gre
ated considerable mirth in political and
administration circles. Mr.. Warner
says the measure suggested by the Re
form club was not presented to Mr..
Cleveland, to Secretary Carlisle orr TO
congress for their approval, hnt was
presented to the American people.
The question as ito who will be the
chairman of the two most important
committees of the house-the evays and
means and the appropriations intev.

RIGHTS OF CORPORATIONS.


Tho United States supreme Cour4 Puts I,
Limit on Condemnation Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, March. 2S-The su.
preme court of the United States has
declared its opinion that the United
States could not condemn the property
of private corporations without con-
sidsring in the proceedings the earning
capacity thereof.
The opinion was rendered by Justice
Brewer, in the case of the appeal of the
MonongAhela Navigation Co. from the
Judgment of the circuit court for the
western district of Pennsylvania in con-
demnation proceedings instituted by
the United States.
The navigation company, said Justice
Brewer, was corporation authorized
to improve the navigation of the Mo-
nongahela river by the construction Of
locks and dams After constructing
six of these at the request of the
United States it built what is
known as '1ock and dam No. T."
Subsequently congress passed an act
providing for the condemnation
and purchase of this lock and dam,
the act prescribing that in the estima-
tiOn of the value of the property no ac-
count should be taken of the value Of
the franchise of the navigation COM
pany. whereby it was authorized to col
lect tolls from vessels passing through
its locks Condemnation proceedings
were begun and according to the lam
guage Of the act, the circuit court took
no account of the value of the COM
pany's franchise.
''In this,' continued Judge Brewer,
1--WE think the circuit court erred The
right of the company to charge tolls
for the use and benefits of the improve.
ments 10 had made is factor that must
be considered in fixing the amount OF
damages to be awarded in a case of this
kind. The judgment of the circuit
court is, therefore, reversed"

Gov. Lewelling has issued his procla-
nation designation Thursday, April 1S

believing that the methods adopted

magnificent custom. l recommend that
county and city superintendents of
schools, mayors and councils of cities
assume charge of the work, prepare and
give general direction to the arrange
ments for the proper and general OBJ
servance of the day No greater inher-
itance can be left to the coming gnner-
atfons than the results which may fol-
low universal observance of this
day."

sas April g, 1875. when the citizens Of
Topeka gathered on the state house
grounds to set out trees in accordance

one of the rpcst unique, was committed
in this town. So quietly was it done
that outside of the ten men who were

robbers bad departed with their booty.
The officials of the bank were
bt,sily engaged in their work at

themselves covered with revolvers il
the hands of two unmasked robbers,
one half breed Indian known to be
the outlaw Ed Newcomb, and white
man who was recognized as the noto.

He then told Scurr to open the safe,
(Which he did, and at the point of a gun,

into wheat sack held by the Indian.
The robber then went through the mon.
sey drawer, securing about $500. They had
previously secured the Winchester and
revolver that were lying on the cash
ier's counter, and there was no oppor-
tunity for those inside to alarm the
people passing by The open door of the
bank. Before they finished their work
'shere were seven patrons of the bank
eropped in one by one to make deposits,
and each one vas compelled to throw
up his hands and march behind the
counter.
The robbers, while at work, laugh
ingly told the frightened officials that
the Daltons were not all dead by -
OLA sight, and that they were going to
pay.th bank across the way visit
They then had the nerve to march
these ten men out into the yard back
Of the building. which is inclosed by a
high board fence, and locking the rear
door of the bank, walked
hurriedly out of the front door
intS the street, where they had their
horses tied. Mounting them they rode
rapidly south into the Indian territory,
lying two miles south of Caney. Itwas
fully en'minutes before posse was Or
ganized and in pursuit, and the chase
was exciting, the pursued and the pur-
suess riding like the wind across the
level prairie. The robbers were su-
perbfy mounted, and if they succeeded
in eluding the posse until night they
would be safe. The citizens are greatly
excited, and should the robbers be
caught they will be mobbed by the
