The ase is likely to be carried to the supreme 'court, either way. The apportionment is made under the law of 1877, tin extension of the law of giving each district Its nhnre in proportion to the number of pupils that have attended public school there In the year, for a minimum of 40 days, in a schoni kept for the minimum term, taught by a qualiiiM teacher, with the limit that i district may receive more than It. raises by local taxation.

Hut the constitution say.i the mi ney shall tie distributed In poic rt ion to the number of scholars in the ownship between the ages of live and tl, yjihout hinting at conditions. This case arose on fjje anplii-ution of District Xo.

State Superintendciit Lejwls considers il. the most Important case that has come into the courts affecting nobods.

The apportionment law has bfeu wholly framed to encourage good schools, and if il fails one school will bo as entitled share in the state fund as anoiher, iwlthout regard to quality or thoroughness ur efficiency.

I'oynter wired Allen to come to Lincoln fur a conference. Allen came down from his home at Madison yesterday and went immediately to the capi-tol. and he and the governor were closeted in the latter's private room for some time. When the conference was over Gov. I'oynter announced that he had decided to appoint the ex-senntor to the place and that hia commission would be made out as speedily as possilde.

The newly appointed senator announced his intention of proceeding to Washington at once and assuming the duties of his office. It is announced that the appointment of Allen was made certain by the receipt of a telegram from W. J. Bryan, by the governor in which ilryan urged that good faith and party expediency demanded Allen's appointment. Iu announcing the appointment of All'-n, the World-Herald publishes the following card from its proprietor: To the many earnest friends who so generously and enthusiastically supported me in my recent candidacy for the st tuuorial appointment at the hands of the governor, I herewith tender my thanks.

I cannot honestly deny that I have been deeply disappointed and I feel most keenly the sting of Ingratitude, but above all I have been deeply moved by the unexpected and nlmost unanimous support of the people of Douglass county and the generous endorsement of representative men in all parts of Nebraska.

They say the one serious obstacle they have met is the charge that Pennsylvania is in favor of a resolution basing the representation in the national convention on the Republican votes cast, which if adopted, would cut down the southern representation. The southern delegates, they say, have an idea that Pennsylvania la for the proposed change and they started out last night to counteract this impression. Contrary to expectation the delegation of New Yorkers who were expected yesterday did not put in an appearance but is expected in force this morning, when the representatives from St.

Louis are also expected. It is said tho southern national committeemen are determined to make a hard fight against Mr. Payne's plan for a reapportionment of delegates in the convention based on the Republican votes cast. The statement, is made that they propose to act as a unit and cast: their votes on the subject of the selection of the place of meeting in such a way as will win for them most support in their tight against reapportionment. l)n Count and Insular Survey Senator 1'onter.

The two vacancies on the finance committee will be filled by the appointment of Senators Spooner and Hansbtotigh, Republicans. Senator Wolcott will fill the vacant place on the, committee on foreign relations. Senators Baron and Money having been already appointed to this committee at the instance of the Democrats. Two more Republican senators go on the committee on Judiciary, Fairbanks and Simon. Three of the four vacancies on the committee on appropriations go to Senators Carter, Warren and Wetmore.

The committee announcements will be made at today's session of the senate, unless the Democrats ask a postponement, as the appointment of Senator Allen, of Nebraska, necessitates a recasting of their assignments.
