LINCOLN Nob. Fob. 8. Special Telegram to Tim Br.K.J Governor James B. Boyd is once again In possession of the gubernatorial ofllcc.

Tbo transfer was made this after noon. Governor Thayer qulolly stopped out nnd Governor Boyd stopped In. Everything at the state house was put In Readiness this morning for the reception of Governor Boyd. In the governor's ofllco the clerks were busy sorting ever papers cleaning out desks making Inventories etc. Governor Thayer this afternoon no- copied thn resignation of Labor Commissioner Luddon nnd Chief Clerk Downs.

The resignation of every appointive ofllcor who hai rooms at the slate house has now boon accepted nnd Governor Boyd will find no bends waiting to fall Into the basket. His first oftlclal act will probably bo Iho reap- polntraont of the ofllclnls removed by Governor Thayer last spring. Governor Boyd arrived at Lincoln nt noon nnd at once proceeded to his hotel where ho registered llrst from Omaha but immediately realizing that for the balance of this year his residence was to bo at itncolu he crossed out the word Omaha nnd x'roto iho word Lincoln. Ho was accom- nlcd by Charles Ogden J. E.

Boyd Jr. Ills L. Blorbowor Miss Boyd Miss Burroughs roughs and Airs. Kwing. No especial demon- ifelrsllon was manifested nt the depot when 4tho governor mid party arrived but the corridors of the hotel were well Illled with democratic admirers of the reinstated execu tive.

tive.A A crowd of several hundred people assembled In the corridors of Ihe state house after dinner to await the coming of Governor Boyd. Promptly at 2 o'clock Governor Boyd accompanied by his party arrived at the floor of the oxecutlvo chambers. The meeting of cx-Govornor Thayer nnd Governor Boyd was somewhat dramatic. General Vifqualn throw open thodoornnd announced "Gentlemen Governor Boyd of Nebraska. Ex-Governor Thayer met Governor Boyd In the center ot the reception room but his proffered hand was refused.

Governor Boyd In answer to a request ho appoint some one to receive the prop uf the ofllco answered that no such notion was necessary as ho was here to assume ofllco to which the people of Nebraska elected him. Governor Boyd then passed into his private ofllce where ho informally received the hundreds who filed through to shako hands With him. The Supreme Court DeeUlon. Slnco arriving In Lincoln Governor Boyd has received a lotier from ox-Ailurnoy General Garland stating lhat the supreme court of the United States had decided by majority of flvo to three that Governor Bovd was a citizen of the United Stales two years prior to the last general election by reason Of llio admission of Nebraska into Iho union. Governor Boyd stated that ho had notblnc lo say lo Ibo press Ibis afternoon.

Ho will bet In no baste In making appointments. The stale oftlcors called In body and paid ilhnlr respects to Governor Boyd and at this 'Writing p. m. iho executive rooms nro 'bsclnning to assume their air of quietude nnd the oxciiemont Is over for today at least. DeiuoerittM In I'oitsoHHlcMl Adjutant General Cole and General Victor Vifqualn mot in the adjutant general's Klleo nnd after a nearly Iiaudsliaitc and a remark that "turn nbout's fair ploy" sat down to discuss the business of the ofllco inn friendly manner.

Phillip Andreas was hardly as conlldont as Iho adjutant general and It was not until utter ho had rocolvod verbal instructions from Governor Boyd to nt once reassume his duties as deputy commissioner of labor that 1 ho entered into possession lie and iho retiring commissioner Mr. L. P. Luddon were old friends and they were soon engaged in a friendly discussion ns to the stuto of the rfllco work. Governor lloyd loei to Work Iho llrst of executive business that was presented lo Governor Boyd afler bo had rocolvod the congratulations of his friends was a return on some requisition papers Issued by Governor Thayer last weeU on tbo Governor of Missouri.

Chief of Police Dlngoi called on Governor Boyd shortly after 0 o'clock with the papers ID question. Governor Boyd took charge of them and Informed the chief that they would bo referred to his private secretary for examination. Oil InsDOCtor Helmrod did not make his appearance this afternoon but Iho otllco was In obargo nf Deputy Inspector Kittle. The only man who doesn'tsoom to lit In the now situation Is Janitor Adams Ho has been waiting here for week for Iho advent ot Governor Boyd but was today unable to catch the executive oar. Judge llijrglus who Is to bo Governor lloyd's private secretary had not arrived up to a into hour this afternoon.

Ho expected this evening. Governor Boyd passed the rest of the ffternoon in receiving callers among whom Senator Wolbarh of Grand Island A number of applicants for oxecutlvo favors wore also on baud but they nil failed to gain any satisfaction from Iho governor who etulcs that ho will not bo hasty In taking up such matters Might Have Declined. Up to last Friday Governor Boyd and his attorneys had hoped that Governor Thayer would nt once make tender of the On that day however they began to bellovo that they would have to go through nil the legal formalities and accordingly Mr. Ogdcn served notice upon General Webster that they would move the supreme court of tbo United Slates for mandate. Tbo loiter recolvcd from Governor Thayer last night however put a ntop 10 all lcg.il proceedings.

It maybe bo said also tlmt Governor BoyJ's attorneys had taken stops to secure from Governor Tbujor'3 attorneys a stipulation that the mandate might Issue. On February I General Garland addressed letter to Dillon making formal request for stipula tion. To this request Judge Dillon replied ns follows "I was only counsel In the case and my connection with it Is onded. I think you will have to address your request for stipulation that the mandate may tssuo to lion. John L.

Webster the leading counsel whoso address is Omaha Nob. Assuming the decision of tno supreme court to bo radical I should aupposo there would bo no objection to such a stipulation. t'reiirlii to Celebrate. From present Indications next Monday will belong to iho democrats. Elaborate preparations have already been commenced for a monster demonstration.

The processional feature of the celebration has boon placed In the hands of General Victor Vif- qualn. In addition to the democratic clubs from Omaha it is expected that clubs from Chicago Milwaukee Dos Molnos Kansas City nnd Nebraska points will swell the numbers. Governor PcoK of Wisconsin and Governor Boies of Iowa will bo hero and many democrats prominent national political circles. It will bo a rod letter day for Neoraska democracy and will undoubtedly bo celebrated with nn enthusiasm that has seldom been witnessed In Nebraska. 1IOVI STAHTS roil LINCOLN.

The Governor Quietly Prepares to Tuku Up tliu Harden ol Olllclal I.lie. When Governor James E. Boyd arose yesterday ho looked out upon morning as clear nnd cloudless us his title to the gubernatorial choir of the state of Nebraska and his right to bo called a citizen of the United Stales. The governor nt once began preparalions lo co lo Lincoln. But there was no cflorl to create a demonstration.

There was no Haunting of Hags or sounding of trumpets and no ono would tiavo supposed from Governor Bovd'a appeal-mice that Iho occasion was nn.vlhing bat the most common placo. His bearing was unaltered his expression the same as that which usually characterizes the plain practical business man that ho is. A few minutes alter 9 o'clock Governor Boyd arrived in his onlce in his new theater whcro stacK of lettor.i half a foot high bad preceded him on the morning mail. Many of tbo letters were evidently of an olncial nature ns they were addressed to "Governor Boyd. The goveruor took tune to open but two or ihreo nnd dumping tbo others into a grip sack remarked tha they would keep until ho got to Lincoln.

Ho hud nothing to say for publication excepting lhat ho was oing lo Lincoln to assume the duties of his ofllco. A few minutes before 10 o'clock the cov- crnor's carriage rolled up before the thcutor. In the carriage were the governor's daughter Miss Margaret Uo.vd. Miss Burroughs of Dccatur III. who Is a schoolmate of Miss Boyd Mrs.

W. B. Ewing of Knoxville 111. and Iho governor's jon Jumos E. Boyd jr.

The party was soon joined by Governor Boyd and Iho carriage was driven lo the union depot. At 100 the party entered the Pullman palace car "Okanagoti" attached to the Burlington west bound train. Mr. Ellis L. Bierbower the governor's son-in-law nnd Mr.

Charles Ogden chairman of the democratic state central committee Joined Iho party nt the depot and wont with the others mentioned above to Lincoln. The suddenness with which the cliango finally came about prevented a great many no doubt from seeing Ihe governor off but Mr. Boyd was evidently pleased with the absence of any public demonstration. "My vcinsluloment Is sure to be a pleasant affair ho said smiling "for I am taking a few ladles along to sco ipat everything is all right. The party that accompanied Governor Boyd was not large In numbers put In sincere wishes for his success in Joyousness of heart and in personal appearance these who accompanied him lo Lincoln were sufllcient to meet every demand of iho occasion.

CANADIAN CANALS. Ileiulutlons Introduced In Con retm lor Their Improvement. WASHINGTON D. C. Fob.

8. A report was today submitted to the house to accompany ii resolution reported by instruction of iho committee on foreign and internal commerce roquosling Iho president lo nogoliato with Canada to secure the sneedy improvement of the Wollamt nnd St. Liwronco canals so as to maVvO thorn conform In depth to tha stand aril aiopl by ihe Untied Slales for Its Improvements within the great lakes. The report says in part "The recent do volopcmcnts of iho untold resou-ces of tbo great northwest has made the productions ol that region nnt only vital part of our internal commerce but the loading factor of our foreign trade. To facilitate this internal commotco congress has not hesitated to vote appropriations by millions.

Its actldn in this behalf has met the country's approval. The committee believes that It Is now equally important to tuke iho proper steps to secure a deep water outlet for the foreign commerce originating in stales tributary to the great lakes. The report calls attcnllon to the natural outlet by the St. Lawrence river which Canada has improved by the construction of tbo Wollond and other canals and demon- states ttio Importance to this country of tholr common use by Canada and the United States. "If says the report "tho canals were further deepened so as to corrosponc with the now See canal Duluth Milwaukee Chicago Cleveland and Buffalo would enjoy all the advantages of seaboard cities with reference lo toreign trade mid in conclusion says lhat the present tlmo Is exceedingly opportune portuno for urging such action In buhalf the commerce of Iho great lalics because representatives of the Canadian gcvermnon will shortly arrive In this cily to negotiate with our Government for closer trade relations between iho two countries.

8. "If the labor of the gentleman who occupies the position of Olrcctor general of tbo World's Columbian exposition Is worth (15,000 per annum then every raombor of this house should receive salary of a year. This was the clos- ngsonlonco of ibo arraignment of Director General Davu by Representative Hondorson of Iowa In the house today ana to the stirring argument of the gentleman from Iowa vasduetho action of the house In orderlr.g ho appropriations committee to thoroughly nvostlgalo the oxpoudlturos of the World's Columbian commission There is great division of opinion among congressmen tonight as the effect of today's action of the houso. While the World's fair committee mot defeat In its demand that all investigations should bo conducted by It hero are many who maintain that this defeat lees not indicate that like fate awaits the bill to bo introduced malting an appropriation of $3,000,000 for the boncllt of the World's fair. Today's action was generally ogardod more as settling matter of precedence than of tuo vital Interests of the World's fair and there Is no doubt nany gentlemen voted for the appropriations committee who will vote and have announced their intention of voting for a generous appropriation for the World's fair.

Callnl Up by S.tyera. The world's fair question was called up by Mr. Sayors of Texas member of thp oom- nittco on appropriations. Mr. Buyers said explaining the resolution for investigation that It was understood that an application would bo made to congress either for a loan of 5,000,000 or the investment of such a sum stock to bo held by the government.

The original resolution offered by Mr. Henderson of Iowa provided for an Inquiry ns to the expenditures authorized by the net of Aprils. 1890 the committee on appropriations had como to the conclusion that it would bo well for congress to have nil possi- Jlo information touching the expenditures whether they referred to the government ox- ilbit or not. Mr. Henderson of Iowa the author of the original resolution disclaimed any unfriond- Inoss to the exposition.

From the beginning 10 had boon an earnest outspoken supporter of the exposition ana ho never swerved in ils fidelity to its interests. Bui ho had icard many reports ana rumors and had seen others in the press which might have an influence on the public mind ills desire was to invite such full Information ns would enable congress to act Intelligently in making appropriations in behalf of the exposition. The country would not sustain congress in making appropriations for the great enterprise unless it acted with wisdom and pa- riotism. High SuliirlcH I'll Id Olllcluls. "No said ho want to call the alien- Lion of the house to the salaries that are paid.

The president of the United States Rots 0- 000 and the nox highest salary paid by this country is that of the director general of the World's fair $15,000. In other words this director cenoral ranks next in salary to llio president of the United States. The chief justice of the supreme court of the United States gets only $10,500 ttio justices of the supreme court Si O.OOi the vice president of the United States 58,000 and the distinguished gentle- inan who presides over our deliberations $3,000. The secretary of this World's fair commission too I sco got 510,000 and the president of tbo commission $12,000. This was cut in two after the storm of a year or more aco.

The reduction was after a committee had reported on the matter and the board was forced to do it. Public sentiment like the waves of the ocean drove them to the shore of reduction. But when appointed they tool hold of that $1,500,000 as though it had been a private fund intended for their own boncllt. This commission is to last If i renumber correctly until Ib03. This director general was glad to fight hard at no light expense to got a two-year seat In this bouso at a $5,000 salary Ho suddenly expanded In intellectual powers that no less than $15,000 will satisfy him when ho does not oven have to bear the current and legitimate expense of an election.

Laughter. Many of us served bnsido him in congress. Ho was a good man an aolo man but I remember nothing for vvhlco bo was conspicuous except for his dead silence on most public questions. Hcnowed laughter. If you can vindicate a $15,000 salary for him every gentleman on this floor is entitled to a salary.

Laughter and applause. DcHcrxo All 1'rulHC. "Now Mr. Speaker there are two bodies dealing with this oxposition. Wo have the United States commission provided for by the act Jof congress and wo have the local Chicago corporation whlcti I think Is called the "World's Exposition of ISO The latter body I think deserves nil the praise that any inun can volco with human speech for what they have accomplished and I want no sentence or sentiment of mine to reflect In any manner or for an Instant on that grout body of men who have raised over $10,000,000 for this enterprise and I understand will raise If necessary from $3,000,000 to $1.000,000 more to make It a great success.

That body of man and their work my resolution docs not touch and does not seek to toucb unless they may voluntarily wish to give us Information in regard to tuo exposition. Tuo aim the scope the solo purpose of the resolution is togo thoroughly Into the Investigation of such appropriations as have heretofore been mudo aua are to bo made by this congress Itself hereafter. Our friends who have olTorod a substitute want this investigation to go Into the hands of the Columbian exposition com mittee. Gentlemen you have the to 000 000 proposition coming before you. No one con.

tests your prerogatives In investigating that or recommending the advisability of acceding to the request of the house. But wo have the appropriation of it. These items belong long to us they nro properly a part of the functions of our committee. and for one I foul that I should bo quite as willing to have my frlund Brother Holmnn of Indiana 'run his massive brain and eagle oyo' laughter over tbo items of expenditures of this commission as I would to have the chairman of tbu Columbian exposition by friend Mr. Durborow from Chicago.

The great journals of Chicago have approved of this Investigation Jlullo "Wo invite the Investigation interrupted Mr. Taylur of Illinois "and I will say to the gentleman from Iowa that tliero uro members on this floor now from Chit-ago who will vote for that resolution. Applause "Well retorted Mr. Henderson 1 always took you for a thoroughbiod hut luoro I sco of you the more I like you on that point. Laughter.

I do not fay that I would vote for it myself. Laughtor.j "Well then perhaps you had bettor lot the other follow talk who is going to vote fur It. JGreat laughter. Now Mr. Speaker this committee on appropriations is the only committee bovine jurisdiction over thn proceed ings of the World's Fair commission.

That Is my theory and that wo do not seek through this Investigation to roach the operations ol the local corporation at all. Applause. I Mr. Durborow of Illinois chairman of tbo World's fair com'mlttoo. earnestly sup.

ported substitute placing the investigation in the bunds of that comtmUoo. i 1 waut to say Mr. Spjakor said ho "thfct I most icurttly and fully agree with whit the pout tlomnn from Toxrs Mr. Savers nnd the gentleman from Iowa Mr. Hondorson have said In rosard to the nocoislly of Jim investi gation.

1 believe that 1 am porljups hotter ostod on the affairs of the Columbian exposition position than any Othotf jnombor of this louse and I want to say that I nm not prepared today to vote for any appropriation of money or nsslslnncoof ntty kind until moro information is given to tha house than wo at present have before us. I heartily In favor of an Investigation ntiilJ want to see ho Investigation started nl soon as possible this is tiot question or an Investigation Jut It Is a question of the Jurisdiction of the committee oh the Columbian exposition The subject of the Columbian exposition was irst brought before the Fiftieth" congress in matter of having number of petitions presented to congress favoring the holding of this fair. Conflict of Titrlfi Uctlan. "No action was taken. If I understand It correctly until the Fiftieth congress when very large number of petitions were presented nnu referred to certain committees and a conflict of jurisdiction came up but to settle this conflict of Jurisdiction the house authorized thn appointment of special committee on the quadrocontonnlat Tbo name if the committee was afterwards changed to 'Committee on the Columbian Exposl- for the reason that the corporate authorities In Chicago of the exposition had changed the name of their corporation and 1 Is now known as the 'World's Columbian Exposition Corporation.

In the present session the committee on rules reported rule Describing the jurisdiction of the regular committee and proposing that the regular committee should bo governed by rule of tbo rules of the Fiftieth congress. to tha Investigation. Now Mr. Speaker wo maintain that logis- ation or appropriations relating to the World's Columbian exposition do not como under any power which by the rule Is delegated tc the committee on appropriations. On ihe other hand on the (1th of January last the committee on rules reported a rule governing the jurisdiction of the select committees of thlshouso and which also provided Tor all proposed legislation concerning the Columbian oxposition.

There are no limitations in ttiat rulo. Under It all legislation of whatever character relating to tbo World's fair whether it includes "appropriations or not is to bo referred to the committee on Columbian exposition. Now Mr. Speaker the committee on tha Columbian exposition linvo not brought up this question because of any objection to tbo proposed investigation because wo are a unit as to the necessity of having an Investigation. The entire subject should bo investigated nnd 1 am authorized by the officious of the World's fair nt Chicago to state that they duslra an investigation of the most complete character and will offer every facility In their power to the committee that shall ho appointed by this house to make tbo Investigation.

But the committee on the Columbian exposition believe and maintain that the jurisdiction conferred on thorn in relation to this subjeqf gives them llio right ana the power to attend to all legislation in relation to the exposition and as consequence of that belief they have nro sonind this substitute to the nou.se for adop tion. Applause. Ho Was it Friend of the Fair. Mr. McCroary of Kentucky" proclaimed himself a friend of the World'tJ fair and said that the managers thereof did.

not shrink Troin an investigation. But ho did not believe that the inquiry should bOjmndo by tbo committee on appropriations. Ho did not wish to load down that great committee nnd no contended that the special exposition committed was the proprncdium through which the house 'should receive in formation. Mr. Outhwalto of Ohio speaking as an impartial person belonging to neither of the contending committees gave It as his opinion that the World's fair committee should not have jurisdiction over the Investigation.

When the original bill was passed It was understood by the house that these who favored the location at Chicago for ho was one of them should ask no further appropriations from thn government. Ho believed that the committee on appropriations was a better committee to make the investigation. Mr. Hopkins of Illinois said ho neither sought nor attempted to avoid an invcstiga lion Into the affairs of the World's fair. Ho did not believe that there was any occasion for it but as the question had been raised It was in the inlorsst of the commission that it should bo licki.

Ho deprecated tbo remarks of the gentleman from Iowa Mr. Il3ndcr son as to the director general. The gentleman bad alluded to that' gentleman ns a gentleman who when ho was a meinoer of tbo bouso had boon conspicuous by his silence. Ills Mr. Hopkins' experience had boon that the lightest headed and weakest mom oors on the floor wero' tboso who made tbo most noise.

Ho favored tbo appointment of a special committee of nno members to conduct the investigation. Welded Vast Tower. Mr. Fellows of Now York thought that a vote against the Durborow substitute would bo vote of lack of confidence In the committee on the World's fair. The committee on appropriations at present wielded a vast power and ho was nol disposed to enlarge it.

Mr. Cummlngs of New York said that ho would vote against the proposition of the committee- appropriations because it uoonied to bo a proposition based on the supposition that the members of the World's falrcommitteo wore a set of scoundrels and not worthy of being entrusted with thn In vestigation. Ho could not afford to nnd ho would not cast any insinuations or imputation upon any committee of the house. The tlmo allowed for debate having expired the speaker stated the question to boon the amendment offorud byMr. Hellly of i'flnnsylvaiila to the resolution of the committee on appropriations substituting ttio committee on the World's fair for the com- mlltoe on npproprlations as having charge of the investigation Loit yonf.103 nays H7.

The vote then recurred upon an amendment offered by Mr. Butler of Iowa entrusting tbo investigation to a special committee of seven members. Lost yeas KM nays 1 4.
