Congress has used all three methods.
There is nc constitutional question

Alessrs. Brumui of Pennsylvania,

Mr. Browne, of Indiana, while
acknowledging the advantage which
a member would derive from being

Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, took a

, NEWS BY WIRE.
"VtASHiKdTON, D. C. Jan, 9. The
Supreme Court today gave notice
that the court will adjourn for the
usual February recess on the 20th of
Febuary, and will not re assemble un
til the 10th of March. This is an
earlier adjournment than has been
customary.
A .decisidn was rendered by the Su
preme Court of the United States to
day in the habeas corpus case of the
mayor and city council of the city of
Lincoln, Neb , who are now in the cus
tody of the U. S. marshal there for
contempt' of an order of the U. S.
Circuit Court. Some weeks since a
charge of ; misappropriating money
belonging to the city was made
against a police judge of Lincoln and
the mayor and city council proceeded
to try him for the alleged offence. He,
pending decision in his case, applied
to the U. S. Circuit Court as a court
of equity for a restraining order to
stop the prdceedings against him on
tho part of the mayor and city coun
cil. An injunction was granted, but
the mayor and council refused to
obey it, continued their trial of the
accused judge and finally removed
the latter and appointed another per
son in his place. They were there
upon'adjudged guilty of contempt of
the order of: tho Federal Court and
were fined and committed to the cus
tody of the U. S. marshal. They
now appeal to this court for release
on a ; writ of habeas corpus. This
court, in a lone opinion by Justice
Gray, holds that the U. S. Circuit
sitting as a court of equity ha? no
jurisdiction fwhatever over criminal
cases or cases involving tne appoint
ment or removal of S'.ate and muni
cipal Officers.
The proceedings of the Federal
Court; in Nebraska, therefore, were
from tho beginning in the nature of
a usurpation of the functions of a
court of law, were beyond its juris
diction, and were null and void. The
detention of the mayor and city coun
cil of Lincoln in custody is illegal,
and they are entitled to a discharge.

the cases of Messrs. Vilas and Dickin

not been determined upon. All the
