Row Senator spencer's Election was Sc.
cured.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 81. S Perrin,
late member of the legislature for Wilcox
county, testified as follows before the commit
tee now investigating the means by which
Spencer secured his election to the U. S. Sem
ale: Troops We're retained in Alabama before
the ele ton on the request of myself and 9th
ers, it having been understood that Spencer
had arranged for troops to be put at the dis
pesal of the mayor and revenue officers where
ever there was Intimidation. These troops &C
companed by U. S marshals who have fc-
titious warrants with citizens names promi-
nently displayed and shown to persons who
would inform them were paraded in various
counties.
[ shot hole in my hand and reported that |
had been attacked by the Ku Klnx, and L sent
troops to arrest the mythical assailants
kept the troops as long as | could use them as
political machine. Our purpose was to secure
the legislature at all hazards and elect Spencer.
A number of witnesses testify to the use OF
money to effect the same purpose.

Crops in California.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Crop reports re-
ceived to-day from various parts of the state
shows that in Sacramento Valley the yield of
wheat will be from half to tnree-quarters of
the average In Solano county the prospect is
Souoma Valleys. In San Joaquin Valley
crops are very bad Many localities will not
produce enough for seed. Whole Valley will
not probably average a quarter crop San Jose
Valley would produce good half average In
Salinos Valley wheat is in splendid condition
on the higher land, covering about $4,000 acres,
but on the river bottom half crop is the
extreme estimate. In the southern counties
grain is generally in good condition, and an
Increased area is planted, and will undoubtedly
afford usual surplus.

The Canal Frauds and the Terminal
Drain Charges.


Drain Charges.
NEW YORK. May 5.-The joint committee of
the legislature on the alleged canal frauds re
ported to-day that the system of ettiGg and
prosecuting contracts for work upon canals is
full of grave defects. giving opportunities for
numerous and varied deceptlons and frauds
opportunities that des gung men have not hisi-
tated to embrace Evidence shows that there
are negligent, Incompetent and dishonest per-
sons among both the canal officers and con-
tractors. The committee recommended more
careful legislation, responsible chief engineer,
the reception of no more unbalanced bids, def
mite contracts, no disclosure of preliminary es-
Inmates, the requiring of sufficient deposit
from all bidders, and legislation to increase
the responsibility of the canal office.
Senator Kellogg, from the committee APP
pointed to ascertain the prices charged Tor
handling grain in New York and Buffalo, pre-
scented their report, which says there appears
to be only mutual understanding as to the
charges in New York city, while at Buffalo
there exists a regular combination, The ter
minal charges at at Buffalo and New York are
and have been unreasonably high. aud as a re-
suit new and competing routes have been
opened, the commerce OF the canals crippled
and the interests of the carriers seriously in
jured. These evils if not checked threaten the
destruction of the canals and the commerce OF
