WASHINGTON April 25.-The confession
made by McLin. of tho Florida Returning
1t would bo safe to say that every member and
Senator had read 1t before the two Houses ad-
journed. two hours later. 1t Is months since
any single document has so enRrossed attention
at the Capitol Its FIRST emphatic effect was to be
seen on the Democratic side OF tho House. Mem
bers began suddenly recalling their own past
utterances and correcting them. The demand
for an investigation became unanimous on the
Democratic side. Men like Hewitt. who had be-
lieved the decision Of tho electoral tribunal to
be hnal. admitted that this last discovery left no
possible course open but rigorous and search
ing inquiry. The demand was echoed on tho
Republican sido Of the House. A distinguished
Republican member said before the afternoon
session was over. and said somewhat publicly,
that while the passage OF resolution OF inquiry
would have been dificut before. it became in
evitable now. The most significant feature OF
the whole round OF comment was that 1t showed
Hayess personal knowledge OF the Florida
transactions. Nobody seemed to doubt the truth
OF this confession. Everybody admitted tho
fraud the proof OF which was therein presented.
Meanwhile. the hope OF an early adjournment
disappeared in the certainty that Congress
would remain TO deal with this new phase Of an
oil auh,ao,
