the most of that has failed. There should

YET YELLED IN MYSTERY.
No Light Thrown Upon the Barrett
Scott Affair by Investigation.

LINCOLN, Nebr. Jan. z. - Attorney
General Charchill and Governor Holcomb
held two consultations to-day regarding
the Barrett-Scott mystery. At the first in
terYiew it was decided that the Attorney
General sh ould start for O'Neill this after
noon aud take personal charge of the in-
vestigatisn now being made in the famous
case. Later it was agreed that Mr.. Church
Ill should wait until tomorrow. If no
new developments are noted within that
time the States lawyer will start for Holt
County, where he will undertake the pre-
liminary examination of the men now held
for conspiracy to compass Scott's death.
The search to-day at O'Neili resulted in
the discovery that the old we'll supposed
10 contain SCOTS body was empty. Those
who think the well was Scotts tomb de-
clare that dnr,ng last night the lynchers
removed the corpse. They anticipated
this and urged the Sheriff to put a guard
there, but he did not think il was neces-
sary. The latest move of the defendants
in deciding to waive examin alton is not
relished by the prosecution, and it is
feared that before the case can be brought
to trial in the District Court some of the
evidence that is now at hand may dis
appear.

SUGAR BROKERS BEl1'EN.
Must Stand Trial for Contempt
of the Senate.
That Body's Right to Compel Witnesses to
Answer Questions Affecting Its
Own Members.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Court of
Appeals of the District of Columbia to-
day rendered an opinion sustaining the
opinion of Judge Cole in the case of
Messrs. Chapman and McCarty, stock
brokers, who refused TO testify before the
Sugar Investigating Committee regarding
individual sDeculations through their firms.
Judge Coles decision oyerruled the de-
murrer fled by the brokers TO the Govern
ment indictment.
The cases will now be appealed to the
United States Supreme Court. The three
principal questions involved, the Court of
Appeals stated in its opinion, were the
constitutionality of section 102 of the Re-
vised Statutes, ON which the indictments
were based, whether the inquiry was
within the power of the Senate IL execute
by requiring witnesses to appear, and
whether the questions were pertinent to
the inquiry.
All OF these questions the court an
swered adversely to the brokers'. No doubt
was entertained by 1t, the court said. as
to the validity of the section which en-
bodied the provisions Of the act of Janu-
airy "a. 1857.
As TO the power of the Senate to compel
witnesses to testify, the court said it ex-
perienced great difficulty in distinctly
marking the boundary within which either
house can act with coercive power to conn.,
pei the disclosure of facts deemed impor-
tant and of deimiting the rights of the
citizen to exemption from inquiry into his
private affairs.
The subject matter of the cases imme-
diately and most seriously affected the
Senate itself and the great legislative trust
confided to its members hy the people.
The dignity and integrity of some of the
mem bers were openly and seriously ques-
toned In a manner we'll calculated to de-
stroy public confidence and bring odium
on that important branch OF the Govern
ment. There was no pretense that TO
answer the questions would criminate the
witnesses In any way, and it was their
clear duty as citizens to obey the law. The
refusal was at their peril, and they must
abide the consequences prescribed by the
statute.
The court could not assume thatthe inves-
tigation was intended as mere idle. pry-
log proceeding withoutany ultimate aim or
object. The questions had reference to
and sought to elicit Information whether
the brokerage firm had bought or sold
sugar stocks in the interest of any Sena-
tor. or were carrying such stocks for such
Senator'S. Such inquiry was plainly
within the scope of the Senate committee.
The questions set out in the Indictment
and which the appellants refused to an
swer were all pertinent to the inquiry.

''is good and sufficient, and the demurrer
thereto was properly overruled by the
court below, and the judgments entered

alton of the admiral, who has been in

time beyond reach of orders from the de-
partment.
Doubtless the Monterey and Olympia

other of the Pacific ports. because the first

few weeks the Philadelphia. Boston,
Marion, Mohican. Adams, Alert and

perhaps the Philadelphia. to run over to

tions of the Navy Department in the mat
