The ku-Klux Investigating Committee will
make their report at an early day. There
will be majority and minority report. The
report made by that portion of the committee
detailed for the purpose on the debts incurred
By the Southern States, and the rates of taxa
ton there, is most interesting and startling
exhibit, for it shows that these debts have been
increased in the last five years in an aggregate
two hundred millions of dollars, while taxation
has increased in proportion. The majority re-
port will maintain that the ku-klux organiza
ton is secret armed power existing in most of
the Southern States, but that it is being grad
ually broken up by the enforcement Of the ku-
Klux act. The report will recommend no le-
gislation unless it declares that Congress ought
to pass a general amnesty measure.

the recent illness of the Prince Of Wales was
caused by poison administered to him by an

rest his sensational story upon very suhStan-
