Nothing to Compel Governor to He

Ex-Judge Elliott was seen at his home last
evening and asked for an opinion regarding
the perplexng section concerning the pres
entation of bills to the Governor an6 the
effect on the constitutionality of the Nichol-
son bill and other bills which were not pre-
sented to Governor Matthews Saturday
night Judge Elliott said it was question
which he had not studied and he did not
care to express an opinion. He read the
lines over several times and then said:
THE language is very clear and it is as
binding OH the Legislature as upon the
Governor I do not recall that there have
been any decisions rendered upon this ques-
ton and believe it is a matter which has
never been raised in the courts OF this

GOVERNOR Is IN DounT.
Inclined to Give the Benefit of 1t To
the NichoIxan HILL

Governor Matthews put in the day yester-
day reading enrolled bills submitted for
his signature The act of chief interest
was the fee and salary BILL which has over
one hundred pages and requires much time
and close application TO read it. The Gov
ernor was assisted by Private Secretary
King. When asked last night as to what
bills he had concluded to sign Governor
Matthews said that he would not care to
mention any of them until to-day. when he
would affix his signature, in order that
there might be no question of the validity
Of the act 1t was shown, however, to the
Governors satisfaction that the fee and
salary bill had been properly and correctly
enrolled 1t y not improbable that the bill

law would stand the test of the courts for

The Governor spoke as if the case would
no doubt be carried to the courts, and this
carried with it the. inference that he IN

his office was not kept open for the recep-

THROUGH STREETS AND ALLEYS.
William Dugan Leads Two OHicers .
Merry Chase.

Yesterday afternoon patrolnen Ringer ana
Beckman had race with William Dugan
who was wanted for assault and battery
which took them over most of the territory
in the west part of the city. Yesterday
afternoon the officers found Dugan near the
corner of Maryland and California streets,
but before they got within half a block of
him. he recognized them and ran. They
gave chase but the man had too much of
start. Rfnker fired his revolver in the air
several times, but it only had the effect
of fastening Dugan's speed. Through alleys
and streets the men went and quite a crowd
joined in the chase adding to the excite
ment. Finally, the man succeeded In throw
ing the pursuers off his trail and escaped
when in the vicinity of Haughyille. William
Dugan and his brother Thomas had a fight
with Mike Garyey and Hooker Lee about
a week ago and the police have been search
ing for the ever since, arresting Tom
Dugan yesterday morning. The officers are
still hunting for William Dugan.

MISS ORLoPP'S RECITAL.
Her Conception Described as That of
mn Inspired Person.

Miss Emma Jeanette Oriopp. of this city,
who has been studying music in Cincinnati
for two or three seasons, gave a recital at
the College of Music in that city last Satur-
day. The Cincinnati Tribune, in speaking
of her, says:
The recital yesterday afternoon at the
Iyceum, College of Music was one of artis-
tic proportions. 1t was given in the main by
Miss e. Jeanette Orlopp, violinist, whose
playing gives positive evidence of genius. She
gave a rendition of Spohr's difficult con-
certo. OPP. Az, which might be compared with
that of a more experienced artist, and then
in the set of four numbers which closed the
recital her conception was that of an in
epired person, while her skill was admirable.
Miss Orlopp produces a beautiful tone and
seems to have a remarkably retentive men,
ory for q girl of fifteen, as she played en-
1lrely without notes.

who gave assistance. and in the three songs

THEY WANT DIR. SWEENEY.
Central Christian Church VIII Try to
Secure the Columbus Minister.

The Central Christian Church is casting
about for successor to DIR. Lucas. who
recently resigned the passorate. and Will try
TO secure Rev. Zachariah Sweeney, the WELL
known preacher of Columbus, this State.
1t is by no means certain that a direct
overture has been made to Mr.. Sweeney,
but certain it is that the wish of the con-
gregation points in that direction by an
overwhelming majority. and If 1T is posi-
bic to win him away from his people 1T viii
be done. Some weeks ago the Rev. Mr.
Myers, of Sedalia, Mo-, was considered as
possible successor to DR.. Lucas, and he
came here and preached one or more trial
sermons Mr.. Myers has been stationed at
Sedalia for several years, and he has met
with great success in that field. When he
went there the church membership was be-
tween two and three hundred; there was
some indebtedness and but little life, and
the field was not altogether promising.
Now the membership has been quadrupied,
a handsome new house of worship stands as
a monument of Mr.. Myers's progressive
ness, besides which it is known that ne
has been singularly successful in evangel-
ical work at Des Moines, Ia, ana otner
points. All these counted very strongly in
his favor and at the last Congregational
meeting the official board reported that If
Mr.. Myers was not acceptable, or, rather,
if call was not extended to him the board
had no further recommendations to make
at THIS time.
Some of the sensitive members accepted
this report as implied threat by the
trustees that the church must take Myers
or be without a pastor for an INDEFINITE
time, and there were a number of kindly
circumstances against the wording OF the
report il not its spirit. incidentally one
of the speakers brought in the name of
Zachariah Sweeney, and the applause which
followed keenly foretold the wishes of the
congregation. 1t was spontaneous tribute
to very popular gentleman, and it showed
that the congregation entertained the live
. lest hope that something might point to
the way by which his pastoral services
could be secured The congregation adj
journed without taking action but with
the hope that the next meeting would see
the Columbus pastor in the mood to ser-
ously consider a proposition looking to the
occupancy of a metropolitan pulpit.
Without doubt, If the Columbus people
find that an indianapolis church is negotiat-
ing for the services of Mr.. Sweeney there
will be a storm of protest; nevertheless the
attempt in all probability, will be made.
Hence an effort will be. made to impress
upon Mr.. Sweeney that his field of useful
ness will be widened by removal here, and
such influences will be brought to bear as
may convince him of the necessity of an
acceptance Just in what way is best to
approach the reverend gentleman, how
ever is a problem. He is most pleasantly
situated, and he is indifferent to monetary
considerations. so the financial aspect will
cut but small figure.

III WILL BE ALL RIGHT.
III Governor signs, Courts Cannot Go
behind the Record.


A well-known attorney, who has had oc-
casion to investigate the law in regard
TO the presentation of bills to the Govern
or during the last two days of the ses-
son said last night that he had little
doubt that If the Nicholson bill was pre-
sented to Governor Matthews to-day and
signed by him that the fact that it was pre-
sented on the last day of the session would
have no effect on its validity. He has had
occasion to examine into the decisions of
the Supreme court on similar case and
even now has case pending in which the
principle is involved. All the recent de-
cisions of the Supreme Court, he says, have
been that the court cannot go behind the
record of the enrolled bin in the Office of
the Secretary of State. IL that is properly
signed by the presiding officers of the two
houses and by the Governor the court
cannot examine the journals of the Senate
or House TO see If its passage was in
full accord with the law. These decisions
override the opinions of the court in ear
lier years when it was held that the court
could examine the journals and declare the
law Imperative on account of frregulari-
ties, but the more recent decisions are
what will govern the court now.
In a number of other States, the attor-
ney said. the decisions are in accord with
the earlier ones in this State. He. does
not expect the court to give him favor
able ruling on the point, but has hopes that
he may win if his case goes to the SUI
preme Court of the United States. where,
if the court will pass upon the question,
it would be likely to follow the rulings in
the majority of States, where 1t has been
held that the court may examine journals
where irregularities in the passage of
bill are alleged. 1t is a rule of the SUI
preme Court of the United States that it
will pass no question involving the
Constitution of a State ii the rulings of
the State court have been uniform, but
in the State court has overruled it
self the court will decide the question.
1t is only On this phase of the question
that the attorney has any hope of getting
the law I'm his case declared invalid.
He was asked what constituted a presenta-
ton TO the Governor in the meaning of
the law and said that IL the bill was taxi
en- to the Office of the Governor Saturday
night before midnight 1t would be held by
the Supreme Gour, to be prcsentat ton.
He recalled a case wherein certain coupons
were required to be presented for pay
ment at specified time. When the time
came there was no one at the proper place

MRS. WALLER'S APPEAL
The Imprisoned Bx-Consul's Wife
at the State Department.
ARGUMENT BACKED BY AFFIDAVIT

Mrs. Waller, in an Interview with Assist
tant Secretary Uhl, Charges Consul wet
ter with Being Primarily Responsible
for Her Husbands Detention.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-l.ss Waller, ac-
companied by her counsel, Ulr Langston,
called at the state department by appoint
ment yesterday and had long interview
with Assistant Secretary Uhl respecting
the case of her husband during the course
OF which she gave all Of the facts CON
nected with his arrest and supplemented
her statements by affidavits She showed
that he could not have stopped at Tama-
tave for the purpose of becoming a spy
upon the French in the interest of the
Hovas. His detention there, she intimated,
was due entirely to Consul Wetter, and
the latter, she declared, was actuated by
motives Of unfriendliness to her husband.
Mrs. Waller said that Mr.. Waller was
kept at Tamatave by his successor, who in
stituted suit against Waller in the inter
est, as he alleged, of the Crockett heirs,
Waller being administrator of their es-
tate. Securing Judgment, Wetter had
Waller arrested, and thus kept him at
Tamatave until his arrest by the French
wife explaining the condition in which he
was placed, and authorizing her to pledge
the Madagascar concession to secure the
money with which to pay the Crockett
notes of 81, 400 and allow him to proceed
on the journey This Mrs. Waller made
arrangements to do but could not con
summate the agreement without her hus-
bands presence. Wetter was made ac-
quainted with this fact through petition
signed by all the English and American
missionaries of Ant lananarivo, asking him
to allow Waller to 20 to the capital for the
purpose of perfecting the arrangement for
the loan
This Wetter appears to have utterly ig-
nored, and Mrs Waller feels that in this
fact her husband has a grievance against
Wetter who it is alleged, has been deeply
prejudiced against the ex-consul at every
stage of the proceedings. Her husband re-
ceived no benefit from tho loan he made
on account of the Crockett estate, and
Mrs. Waller pointed out that if Mr.. Wet
ter had been as anxious to serve the Crock
EFT heirs as he was to have revenge upon
Waller he would have allowed Mr.. Waller
to go to Antananarivo to make the notes
good.
Mrs. Waller also dwelt upon the condi.
tion of her husbands health, which had,
she said, been precarious before he left
her She said she feared, from reports re.
ceived from him, that he was now rapidly
/ falling. She also said in reply to ques,
tion from the secretary that she had never
seen the intercepted letters on which Wal
Ter was arrested by the French.
