invitation of the state central committee of
Nebraska to give two days to the campaign
in that state. His Vieit, of course, will be
subject to the dates Of the state central
committee, but 1t is now believed that Oc-
tober 90 and % will suit the New York
governor the best in which case he Will
speak in number OF towns from the rear
end of a special train, which will probably
take him through the most populous sec
tions of the prairie state.
Should the governor decide to go to Ne
braska, 1t is confidently predicted that his
presence will do much TO refute the argu-
ments made by Bryan in Nebraska which,
according to certain yellow journals, set
the prairies on fire. hut which, according to
a conservative article which appeared in
tonights Star by Charles NJ. Pepper,
their special correspondent, are not attract
ing the crowds which greeted him in his
canvass of 1896
President Mckinley left tonight on his
tour through the northwest, but nothing
definite has been decided upon for a stop
over at Omaha. Secretary Cortelyou stated
the matter had been under advisement but
the president was not yet able to see his
way clear to stop at Omaha en- route from
Sioux City on his way east. 1t is possible,
however. that during the celebration OF the
office building in Chicago, a committee Of
Omaha citizens will wait upon the president
with a view of securing his presence in the
Nebraska metropolis. 1t is absolutely
necessary that the president be in Cleve-
land on the eighteenth on matters connected
with some private affairs and his itinerary
between the time of leaving Sioux City and
his reaching Cleveland win all be shaped
with a view of meeting his date in the Ohio
town.
Senator Thurston saw the president this
morning and urged him to accept the hos
pitality, if only for few hours, of Omaha
and the surrounding country. The presi-
dent said he would gladly do so, but that
other towns were pressing him and he felt
in duty bound to go to those places that he
had not heretofore visited. He didn't say
in so many words that his visit to Omaha
was out of the question and it is just pos
sible that arrangements may be completed
in Chicago during the fall festivities there,
that will bring about some change in his
itinerary SO that Omaha may have him for
a few hours at least.
Su1remc Court News.
The supreme court Of the United States,
by operation of law, will convene next
Monday, with nearly 400 cases on the docket.

Associate Justice Brewer, 1t is expected that
the cases set especially for argument on the
10th will be set over until a later date,
so that the full court may be present.
Chief Justice Fuller and Associate Justice
Brewer, of the Venezuelan commission, will
sail for the United States on the 18th. In
the absence of the chief justice, the senior
associate justice, Mr.. Harlan, will occupy
the seat of honor upon the bench and,
uyhn he
the city will hear the causes assigned for
argument in the same manner as If the Off
cial bench were present. Among the cases
docketed for argument coming from the
northwestern states is the State of Iowa
against the State of Illinois, a bill in equity;
! the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
company against William II. Tompkins and
others, as board of railroad commissioners
of South Dakota, which is appeal from

United States in one case and against f.
Gordon Dexter and Oliver Ames in others

the Eighth district.
The case of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, plaintiff in error against the Call
Publishing Company of Lincoln, Neb, de-
! fendant in error, on appeal from the Ne
braska supreme court, Is also subject for
argument. This case grows out of the Call
Publishing company having purchased the
Associated Press franchise from the Ne
braska Daily Democrat as an action for
all - ,,.1 &. L1
Call company by reason Of unjust discrim-
ination against 1t in favor of another
patron on the part of plaintiff in error, in
rates charged for contemporaneous services.
| The case which will probably excite the
! most interest from a Nebraska standpoint
| Is that OF Henry Bolln, plaintiff in error on
! appeal from the Nebraska supreme court.
General John C, Gown Is on record as at
/ torney for the late city treasurer OF Omaha,
! but is understood to have only entered the
appeal as Bolln's attorney. Mr.. West OF
! Omaha Is not a member OF the supreme
court Mr.. Boln, writing from the Ne
braska penitentiary, asks when his case will
be reached, as he cannot receive anything
definite through his attorney. The letter
was written upon penitentiary paper and
Boln gives his penitentiary number, which
| Is customary.
