WASHINGTON, May 29.-The protest read
by Representative Cox is as follows:
WHEREAS, The minority of this House
have heretofore, under the rules of the
House, successfully resisted the efforts OF
the majority to consider the case of Mackey
VS.. O'Connor because proper hearing has
not been granted to the contestee by the
Committee on Elections as to the allega-
ton of forgery and fraud in the
evidence submitted by contestant, and.
WHEREAS, The majority, in order to pre-
vent end avoid such an investigation. hayel
proceeded to change the rules in manner
not provided for in the rules. IN wn,r"
u W nEhEas, me speaker has made ruilng
which justities proceeding unknown to
the principles of contitutional and par
limentary law, and subversive OF the
rights of the minority,
Therefore, the undersigned, representa-
tiyes of the people, hereby protest against
the proceeding of the majority and the
rulings of the Speaker, as unjustifiable,
arbitrary and revolutionary, and ex-
pressly designed to deprive the minority
of that protection which has been estab-
lished as one of the great monuments OF
our representative system by the patriotic
labors of the advocates of parliamentary
privileges and civil liberty.

BONDED LIQUORS.
Witness who Knows Nothing.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The bonded spirits
bill investigation began this morning:
with the examination of Major Thomas, Of
Louisville. He detailed at some length,
the process in use in Kentucky in the
manufacture of whisky, and also the
methods employed in making high wines
explained the difference in the products
of two modes of manufacture.
Witness had never been approached by
any outsider with representation that he
should secure theintiuence with Senators
or members, and had never seen the time
when, in his Judgment, there was
any occasion for the expenditure
of one cent to influence legislation
or secure influence with Senator'S
or members. Had seen charges through
the newspapers that money had been used
with the press but had never been ap-
preached by any newspaper reporters OF
journalists, except with the request for
news. He was never asked for dollar
never offered one for newspaper influence,
and never heard any one in the liquor
trade say he knew of any such thing being
/ done.
The National Liquor Dealers and Distil
| lers Association never raised . fund fol
lobbying purposes, and never made an as
sessment upon its members. Their only

STAR ROUTE CASES.
Judge wyIie Announces Very Decided
ODiniOn.

Opinion.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-1n the Star Route
cases Wilson continued his argument on
the motion to quash, in Turner's behalf,
and the ground for the motion is that Tur'
ner is not charged in the indictment with
the commission OF any overt act in turth-
erance OF the objects of the conspiracy. =.
After a prolonged argument udge Wyhe
overruled the motion to quash the lndlct-
ments in the case Of Turner and Brady, and
exceptions were taken to all OF the rul-
ings.
Cole presented afidavits sworn to by
Reerdell, and as the latter stated he abso::
lutely knew of the alleged misconduct OF
the ring, it was read.
Judge Wylie manifested the greatest IN,
dignation as the reading proceeded, and
interrupted Cole to say that to his own
knowledge it was wholly untrue. "lf that
paper is filed give you warning will Oh.
rect Reerdell to be prosecuted for perjury,
said the Court.
Cole endeavored to explain that it was
perhaps his fault. inasmuch as he drew up
the affidavit and Reerdell had signed 1t III
a hurry. Perhaps he thought he was
swearing to his belief, not his knowledge,
said Cole. But the paper had already been
| filed and the Court refused to allow Its
| Withdrawal, leaving the defendants coun
| sci visibly disturbed.
