and free Investigation and opportunity to Of
fer proofs OF acts of bribery and corruption

ruption aud that by himself and his agents
acts OF bribery and corruption were resOrted
to to induce large number of members Of the

"that a partial and incomplete investigation Of
charges Of bribery, etc, connected with late
senatorial election In Kansas, and charges OF
corruption In Office against Ingalls,, was had
before q committee OF the House OF Repre-
sentatves OF Kansas, and that the investiga-
ton was partial and incomplete, because OF
want OF time to secure important witnesses
and want OF power to compel the attendance
OF witnesses, and because Of repeated and
corrupt efforts on the part OF agents OF In
gals to intmidate witnesses and suppress
important testimony In the case. We ask an
opportunity to prove
First-That +. i. Smith, general manager
of the Western Union:relegraph Company, at

he regretted the failure of his party to elect
d Speaker from the South, for the reason
that he and those who acted with him were

flag from the time 1t was first unfurled 10 the
breeze up to the hour 1t was fnrled In final de-

the spanish Government Prohibits fhs
importation Of American Pork.

NEwYoRK, March 19.-The Spanish govern
ment has prohibited the importation OF pork
In any shape from the United States Into
any Spanish port
A reporter to-day visited Mr.. Walker. the
statistician Of the Produce Exchange, to as
certain the extsnt OF the export trade in pork
from this country. Mr.. Walker said that the
bulk Of pork in barrels shipped from the
United States went to the West Indies. Very
little went to the continent. Great Britain
and Germany take more than three quarters
of the entire amount OF bacon and hams
shipped, while Germany Is the largest con
surner of lard. 1t was his impression that
the edict Of the Spanish government would
have little effect on the trade In pork with the
West Indies. Thus far this year shipments
to Cuba and other ports In the West Indies
amounted to 40 788 bbls Of pork and 4,43l 498
pounds Of bacon. No official notification Of tho
order OF ths Spanish government has been
received at this port.

LONDON, March 19.-Hanlon, yesterday,
took his first row on the Tyne, in course OF
his training for the match with Hawden The
Sportsman says: The form he displayed was
only moderate, as with his famous twenty
eight stroke he did not get anything like
first class racing pace on his boat, but ye5ter-
days work cannot fairly be accepted as
criterion, for Hanlon seemed to take matters
quite easily. There could be no doubt that
he is finished sculer. Ii he proves as fast he
is,clever at handling his sculls, he will be well
worthy of the reputation he hears across the
Atlantic. Hawdon Is now at New Biggin for
few weeks rest. He will return to training
on Monday.
Articles were signed yesterday between the
champions Elliott and Pope, who back an
unknown person, limiting the choice OF the
latter to Boyd. The Hanlon match is fixed
for the sixth Of June, to be rowed over the
Tyne, the championship course, for e2000
side and the champion trophy.

MORE IMMIGRANTS LEAVING BRAZIL.
Threatening Aspect Of the Indians In the
lnteFIOr-A Massacre Of the settlers
Threatened

LONDON, March ia few days ago. dis
patch from Rio de Janeiro stated that 5l3 Rus
sian immigrants had left the Province OF
Parana to return to their own country, and
that 1000 more Russians were preparing to
follow them. A dispatch received from Rio
de Janeiro to-day, states that the Chaco In
dians Of Parana, who live in the interior Of
the province. are menacing the settlers along
Parana, Tibagy,. Tuahy and Tguazu rivers
and that a terrible massacre is probable. The
Chaco tribe Is not only numerous but 1t Is in
tellgent and very dashing In warfare and well
armed. The government at Rio de Janeiro
seems to have no means at Its command for
securing the safety OF the immigrants In
Parana. The latter, who are chiefly quite un-
used to fighting. are wholly at the mercy OF
the natives.
