A GOVERNOR OUSTED, Tlie Supreme Court Holds That Mr. . Boyd is Not a Citizen of Nebraska. The Nebraska Supreme Court ba3 handed down a decision in the quo warranto case in which ex-Governor Thayer contested the right of Governor Boyd to hold his oJQcb. The opinion written by Justice Norval and concurred in by Justice Cobb, grants a writ of ouster against Governor Boyd and finds that Mr. Thayer is entitled to the office. Governor Thayer took the oath and filed his bond, and Mr. Boyd turned over the office to him. The decision of the court is based on the ground that Mr. Boyd was not a citisen of the State at the time of his election. He came from Ireland with his father, but his fofchar Via-1 naj-loflwl tn t-RKfl out llLS SPCOnd naturalization papers. Judge Maxwell, in his dissenting opinion, holds that Mr. Boyd, being a citizen of the Territory when it became a State, became a citizen of the United States by virtue of the Enabling Act. Mr. Boyd will carry the casi to the Supreme Court of the United States. At the election last November there were three candidates for Governor, and James E. Boyd received a plurality of 1144 over Powers, the Farmers' Alliance candidate, the balance of the State ticket elected being Republicans. After the result was declared the claim was made that Mr. Boyd was not eligible to hold any oftice, not being a citizan of the United States. It seems chat his father came to this couutry while James was a minor fho fothir narar nrtmnlaffl^ fhft nmnOQS of becomiug a citizen. Wheu Mr. Boyd demanded the office Gov. Thayer refused to give it up on the ground that no eligible successor had qualified. The controversy lasted several weeks and seemed likely to end in bloodshed. As Mr. Boyd had become generally recognized as Gjvernor, however, and as a lower court had decided in his favor, an arrangement was made by which the question was submitted to the Supreme Court, Mr. Boyd meanwhile to hold the office. The decision has just been rendered against Mr. Boyd. PROMINENT PEOPLE. Keely, the motor man, is fifty-three years old. Jokai, the Hungarian novelist, is a millionaire.

THE ITATA SEIZED,* A Chilian Steamer Held Uy United States Marshals. A dispatch from San Diego, Cal., says The Chilian steamer Itata, which arrived n this port the other day for the ostensiblt purpose of getting supplies and coal, hai been seized by United States Marshal Gard, and is now lying here with a Daputy Mar shal aboard, awaiting instructions from Washington. Captain Mauzum, of the Itata. was at first put under arrest, but was latei released and returned to his vessel. The seizure was made as the result of t number of telegrams which passad between ihe United States officials here and the authorities in Washington and was due to tb? supposition that her mission here was to gel arms and ammunition from the schoonei Robert and Minnie for the Chilian insur gents. Besides the Itata and the Robert and Min nie, a steamer which was at first supposed t< be a Chilian war ship was sighted off thii port, near the Coronado Islands. An efforl was made to board her but it proved unsuc cessful, she apparently seeking to avoid thf cmcials. At midnight just before the arrest th( Itata received forty head of cattle, twentyfive head of sheep and 3000 pounds of dres3ed meat from the ferryboat Coronado. The vessel has also received other stores, including 800 tons of coal. As soon as all the pro visions and fuel were on board she expected to leave the harb^: and cruis9 between her? and Catalina to meet the Robert and Minnie, from which she was to take the rifles and ammunition. The Itata is a Chilian merchant vessel, built in Liverpool in 1873, and belonged to the SouLh American Steamship Company, oJ Valparaiso. Her tonnage is 1766, length '29? feet and draught of water 19 7-10 feet. The schooner Robert and Minnie appeared to be heavily itden, and it was reported that her cargo consisted of arms and ammunition for th3 Chilian insurgents. The Robart and Minnie is an Amerlcau vessel, o wnad in San Francisco. "PTHf ATT? r?T rkDTTITTT mrTT>TCimo X JjIU.il.LlJj XijUXliUUJjl unioio, Census Bulletin oa a New Field of ' Labor for Women. A census bulletin on floriculture, given out for publication a few days ago, has an interesting history. It is understood to be the result of a suggestion made by the wife of the Superintendent of the Census, with a view of opening up a new avenue of employment for women. Superintendent Porter, from the day he received his appointment until now, has been worn down by pitiful appeals from women for employment. Without straining facts it might be said that the proportion of rejected women applicants was as high as ninety-nine out of a hundred. Mauy of those disappointed took a woman's chance and appealed to the wife of the Superintendent, who seeing so many helpless females in the v/orld, turned her mind to devising some new opening to employment. The result was the special report on floriculture which now appears and which was made at her suggestion. It seems that tiiere are already over 300 floricultural establishments owned and managed by women.and the number is susceptible of being indefinitely increased. Thereturnsof receipts from cut flowers for last vearexceed $15,000,000. This is undoubtedly only a part of the actual receipts derived from this source. The produqts of the year were nearly 50,000,000 of rose bushes and 153,000,000 of other plants.

Siz Men Indicted for Tampering With Talesmen, The New Orleans Grand Jury, who foi several weeks have been probing the inci cieut of March 14 last, when a mob of citi zi -,s of that town shot and hanged several Italians in the Parish Prison, have presented their reoort to the Criminal Court there After inciting the complaints and charges, the report says: ' We have referred to the large number ol citizens participating in this demonstration, estimated by judges at from (5000 to8000, and regarded as a spontaneous uprising of th( people. The rua^nitiida of the affair makes it a difficult task to fix the ?uilt upon anj number of ths participants. In facr, theacl seems to involve tba entire people of the parish and city of New Orleans, .so profuse is their sympathy and so extended their connection with the affair. In view of th:se considerations the thorough examination of the subject has failed to dispose the necessary evidence to justify the Grand Jury in presenting indictments.'The report is qirte voluminous, asserting the existence of the Mafia (the Italian secret socijr,y; at New Orieans, a? 1 charging that Hennessey's death was the result o: his close pursuit of the Italian murderers. New Orleans, the report declares, has he?u a refuge for Italian * brigau is and cutthroats, banded together in a society whosa teachings are contrary to the principles of this Government. Law must regulate these transgressors; but where the law cannot do it, through the intervention of these secret societies, then the people must exercisa their sovereign rights and '-issua their decree of condemnation." Thus the action of the band of Naw Orleans citizens who marched into the Parish Prison is justifiai. The Grand Jury also present indictments against six persons, chief of whom is Detective Dominic C. O'Ma'.tey, who in person is directly cnargea wicu wnac ine urana jury terra tbj mistrial and unwarranted verdict in the Hennessey case. He and his associates are held for tha alleged bribery of talesmen. The Grand Jury furthermore report that they have discovered that three of the Hennessy jurora, if not more, were bribed. The Jury's Report in Washington. A Washington dispatch to the Associated Press says that the "report of the New Orleans Grand Jury upon the killing of the Italians was a fruitful themd for discussion among people at tbe Department of State. It may be said that tbe findings of the Grand Jury excited no surprise, for some such conclusion was expected. The attempt to palliate the infraction of law by offsetting the alleged attempts at jury fixing is deprecated by the legal miuds of the department: but there is a well-defined opinion that, on the whole, the outcome of the case will be beneficial in its effect upon the turbulent foreign elements in t'ae United States, inasmuch as it will make clear to them the fact that they cannot rely upon treaties to escape responsibility to the great public for their unlawful acts. 'The report of the Grand Jurv will, it is expected, reach Secretary Blaine in the course of time, and flguee in the official correspondence betweeen the United States and Italy." An American Stoned in Florence. On the day that the New Orleans Grand Jury made its report, William Jacques, ar American gentleman from Newton, Mass., was out driving with his daughter at Florence,-Italy, when a mob of people pursued his carriage, attacked it, pelted it witt stones, ana severely injured his daughter, who interfered in his defence. Jacques, according to a Boston dispatch, is the electrician of the American Bell Telephone Company and well known in Boston and the principal cities of this country. He sailed from New York for England and the Continent about a month ago for pleasure, and intended to be absent about $ve or six months. He was accompanied "p.y his wife and two children, both daughters, one aboul eight and the other about ten years old. H( is a man of about forty years, and of verj quiet and unpretentious disposition, He very seldom expresses any opinion concerning public matters, and his friends are entirely at loss to understand how such a man could become the victim of a mob. He is a highly cultured gentleman and was formerly a college professor. WORLD'S FAHTNQTES, Items of Interest Relative to the Chi cago Exposition.

The great eight-hour movement commenced with a strike of 4500 housesmiths, or arcU- ' tectural iron workers, and 1000 frmners, and a big public demonstration of 15,000 work* men who belong to organizations s itached to 4k. n 1 '? buoocuuai uauvi i'guwavivu* The demonstrations of the Socialist anions in honor of the agitation took the shape of parade and a mass-meeting in New York ' City.
