Mr. Thayor \ViU No Longer Be Nebraska's Governor.

A DECISION IN THE FAMOUS CASE.

The L'nited States Supreuiv Court Declare* Boyd WHS a Cltl/eu, and That lie Wait Duly Klectcd Governor of Nebraska.

THAYKIl MUST VA\\TK.

WASHINGTON*, Feb. 2.—The. United States supremo court, in an elaborate opinion just delivered by Chief Justice Fuller, holds lliafc .lames K. Boyd is a citizen of the United States and was a citizen for two years preceding his election as governor of Nebraska., anil that consequently lie

entitled to the

ofliee,,and that John M. Thayer, the hold-over governor, who denied the right of Boyd to succeed him, must give way. lioyd Citizen.

All the justices of the court except Justice Field united in the conclusion that the United States supreme court had jurisdiction of the case. Justices Harlan, Gray and Brown, while concurring in the conclusion of the court that Boyd was a citizen of the United States, did so on the ground of the exercise of all the rights of citizenship by Boyd's father, a resident of Ohio, as shown on the record established. The assertion is made by James 13. Boyd and his father that t*1* latter had in 1S!)4 taken out his final naturalization papers, although there is 110 documentary proof of the issuance of these papers.

Collective Naturalization.

The court also held that there was such a thing as collective naturalization: that the enabling act of Nebraska constituted a naturalization of all the inhabitants of Nebraska at the time of its admission, except such as desired to retain their foreign rights, and that Boyd's exercise of various offices showed his intention to become a citizen.

A Kemime of the Cane.

The main question in the case on which the decision hinged was whether Mr. Boyd became a citizen of the United States without taking out naturalization papers, his father, a British subject, never having become fully naturalized, although he had declared his intention to take out the nccessary papers. The elder Boyd camc to this country from Ireland when his son, the plaintiff in the case, was a mere child. They settled in Ohio and the father gave notice of his intention to become a citizen. He failed, however, to become naturalized. The son went to Nebraska when it was a territory and was one of the foremost of the pioneers who developed it. He lield several public offices, fought in the late war and was a member of the convention that framed the state's constitution after it was admitted into the sisterhood of states. No one questioned Mr., lioyd'b right to vote and to exercise all the other' privileges of citizenship, and it was not until after he had served for some time as governor of the state, having been elected on the democratic ticket, that the question concerning his citizenship was raised. A long controversy ensued as to whether Boyd or the former governor, Thayer, was entitled to the seat The ease was finally carried to the supreme court of Nebraska and this court decided that Boyd, not being a citizen, had not been elected and that Thayer should hold office until his successor liad been elected. This decision is reversed by the federal supreme court.

Boyd Is Glatl.

OMAIIA, Neb., Fel. 2.—Gov.-elcct Boyd was seen Monday, and in reply to a question as to when he would take his scat, said: "I cannot tell, but I can say that as soon as the supreme court has rendered its decision John M. Thayer must ceasc to act as governor and I become governor of the state of Nebraska. I am much more glad to have my citizenship 'in the suite of Nebraska established than can ilncl words to express. "Of course I do not know what courso Mr. Thayer will pursue, but I suppose he will at onee vacatc the chair at the stato capltol. As I said be lore I cannot now say when I shall go to Lincoln and formally tako my seat as tho governor. I am governor now, and. as I havo been inaugurated, I can servo just the same in Omaha for a day or two as in Lincoln. Mr. Thayer cannot now even act as governor. Any papers which I10 may sign as such or appointments he may make would bo illegal, su I cannot think that ho will attempt to hold the ofllcc any longer."

Jloiv* to the Dcclnloii.

The news that tho supreme court had rendered its decision declaring Boyd to be a citizen was first carried to Gov. Thayer by a reporter. He was evidently expecting news, for a sharp ring on the bell brought Thayer himself to the door immediately. From the expression on his face it was easy to see that he knew the reporter was the bearer of bad news. When told the decision he simply smiled and remarked: "Well." During the entire conversation the only perturbation shown by him was a slight biting of the lips, lie did not wish to be interviewed and was uncommunicative. "Simply say for me," he said, "that I bow to tho decision of- the supreme court of the United States."

When Wilt Ue Vacate?

The important question now in the minds of the citizens is, will Thayer yield the. office gracefully and when will Boyd make a formal demand for his seat? When the decision was rumored a month ago Gov. Thayer is reported to have said that iu case the supreme court decided that Boyd was eligible to the office he (Thayer) would at once and cheerfully vacate the office.

An Kxtra SCAHIOU Probable. It is expected that Gov. Boyd will call an extra session of the legislature as soon as practicable and will recommend the passage of-the following acts: To redistrict the state into legislative districts, that duty having been neglected by that body at its regular session to redistrict the state into congressional districts provide for the election of two presidental electors at large, and one from each congressional district. This will divide Nebraska's vote on the president. To pass a maximum freight

LINCOLN*. Neb., Feb. 2.—The news of the .supreme court decision in the Boyd-Thayer case caused some commotion lint little outward demonstration here, the general expression being one of satisfaction that the long buttle was ended. Appointed officers aecept the decision as final and are preparing to turn over their public affairs to democratie successors. The opinion seems to be that the resignations of all these officials will be tendered the moment Thayer vacates. The retiring governor has been tendered the management ol 1 a town-site company in southern Texas and it is understood he will accept it. The state supreme court lias adjourned until 1'ebruary 10.

FOR EGAN'S RECALL.

Keprc*eutatlve Arnold Present* a Resolution Looking to That Knd. WASHINGTON', Feb. 2.—in the house Representative Arnold (Mo.) presented for reference a resolution requesting the president to recall the minister ol the United States to Chili, Mr. Patrick Egan, to the end that amicable relations between the two countries might be had and maintained. The resolutions are as follows: "Whereas, The present minister to Chill, by his general course of action toward that government, and more especially by hWactlomiu giving asylum to Chilian refugees, lias rendered himself obnoxious to that government and alienated in a marked degree the former friendbltip of that people for this government: and •'Whereas, By reason of the existence ol these facts the unfortunate and unjustifiable attack by a Chilian mob upon American sea men in the streets of Valparaiso occurred, uiid "Whereas, By reason of such unfortunate and unjuntitlable attack upon American seamen grave apprehension for a time existed in the public mind that this nation of 63,000,000 of peo pie was upon the eve of war with about 2,500,KK) of Chilians unless ample apology and reparation were made by the latter power, which said grave apprehension arose from the fart that the apology hourly looked for did not reach congress and tho country so quickly as the president's message and "Whereas, The said apology has arrived., and the president has informed congress and tJic country that all fears of an impending war art at an end "Now, therefore, in order that public tranquillity be uot unnecessarily disturbed in OK future and that the bond of friendship which ought to exist among all the republics of tht western hemisphere be further cemented regardless of tho effect it may have upon any po litical party, "Resolved, That the president of the United

States bo and he is hereby respectfully re quested to recall said minister to Chili to tlu end tnat reciprocity of amiable relations between the two countries may be had and main tained."'

I.ONHON, Feb. 2.—On a rocky It'1^0 of the Isle of Wight, only miles from Osborne house, whore Huron Victoria is, the big steamer Eider of the North German Lloyd Company is rocking fore and aft, her bow and her stern in deep water. Two hundred of her passengers have been landed in surfboats and S',100, 000 in coin, which is part of tho steamer's freight, has been brought from the hold and piled in sacks on the

Itun on the IU un

About 9 p. m. Sunday the big steamer which left New York January 'Jo for Bremen struck during a dense fog on Atherfield ledge. The passengers were all astir, expecting the landing at .Southampton. Signals were employed aud life crews soon reached the vessel. On their arrival, however, the captain felt so secure and the passengers had become so thoroughly reassured that the boats were sent back empty. The night wore away and Monday it was doomed safer to put the passengers ashore and '..'00 were landed before nightfall. l.iU4oatft Hard to Manage.

The landing of the passengers by the lifeboats bccamc somewhat risky after 8 o'clock Monday night, when the wind, which was blowing dead ashore, freshened considerably and threatened to increase to a gale. This change in the wind rendered the operations of the lifeboats very difficult and much care had to be exercised in the management of the craft, but all were finally dragged safely through the surf by the aid of the Atherfield lights.

All the Passenger*! Landed. A dispatch sent at 10 p. m. says: "All the passengers and the rest of the mails have been safely lauded. The crew remained aboard preparing for the attempt to tow the si earner off. The attempt will be made at 1 o'clock in the morning. The last boat load of passengers were landed amid the rejoicing of a large crowd on the beach. The rescuing crews received an ovation."'

Old Wise was a miser during all his long life. In the keg in which the gold was found was old Wise's will, and by its terms the finder, John W. Wise, gets all the treasure.

I'oolnosM of the Otlicers.

CapL Addison, one of the passengers of the Eider, in giving an account of the accident, said that the captain of the Eider calculated that the vessel was a few miles westward of the Needles, a cluster of three rocks southwest of the Isle of Wight. The steamer struck on the Atherfield ledge just as the lead was being iieaved. A sounding taken only live minutes previously liad indicated 10 fathoms of water. Neither the Needles light nor the St.- Catherine's light was visible when the Eider struck. Capt. Addison highly praises the conduct cl the captain and crew when the accident happened lie says there was not the slightest confusion or excitement visible among either the officers or men during all the trying times. .:'•
