complaint would be taken as a declaration
that it is Indifferent tOquestion whetherits
seats are to be in the future the subject of
bargain and sale or may be presented by q
few millionaires as a compliment to q
friend. The report sets forth series Of
ten propositions" which Messrs.
LITTLE AND BUTTERwoRfH
offer upon their own responsibility to the
satisfaction of the Senate, largely by wit
nesses who were not within reach of the
Ohio committee. In brief among these
are the following: Three-fourths of the
members of the Legislature were pledged
to Pendleton and Ward and that just before
legislative caucus large sums of money were
placed by Mr.. Payne, his son and other
friends at the control of the active managers
OF Mr.. Payne's canvass; that a gentleman,
whose name isoffered to begiven, would de-
clare that David r. Payne had said he
handled S65, 900, and that Oliver B. Payne
had saidit costs him 500, 600 to elect his
father; that the members of the Legislature
who changed from PendletOn to Payne did
so after secret confidential interviews with
agents who had the disbursement Of
these monies and that these members
about that time offered large sums Ofmoney
for which they do not satisfactorily ac-
count. The report discusses the above
mentioned features of the case ct great
length, and the conclusion is reached that
an investigation is warranted. The ques-
tion is not, the report says, whether the
case is proved; it is only whether ii shall
be inquired into. No unwilling witness
had ever yet been compelled to testify and
no process had gone out which could cross
State lines. 1t would hardly be doubt
ed that cases Of purchase Of
seats in the Senate would
rapidly multiply under the decision pro-
posed by majority of the committee, the
first great precedent to constitute. The
rule under this branch OF law was to be
this: Held by the Senate of the United
States that charge made by the Legisla-
ture ofa State and by the committee of Il
political party to which the larger number
OF citizens belong and by ten of its Repre-
sentatives in Congress, that an election Of
q Senator was procured by bribery, accom-
panied by the offer TO prove the fact, does
not deceive the attention Ofthe Senate"
The report concludes with a resolution
directing an investigation OF the charge,
and with n recommendation that it be
adopted.
Pugh from the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, presented the report i'll the
election case OF Senator Payne. Aoar on
behalf of himself and Frye, presented the
views of the minority. Eyarts made sep
arate report, presenting the views OF him
self, Teller and Logan. All reports ordered
printed in one document and were placed
on the calendar, to be called up ut any
time as privileged matter.

Gladstone's Rejoinder.

LONDON, July l5.-Mr. Gladstone has
written that the Duke of Westminster in
his reply to the Premier's charge struck a
blow at aristOcracy by deserting Liberalism
and aiding the election of n Tory candidate
in his district of Chester by the use Of
money and carriages. Gladstone twits
the Duke with working for the Tories
harder than he ever worked for Liberals.
He suggests in doing 80 he is striking a
similar blow ataristOcracy 10 that which he
gave it when he helped defeat the reform
bill in 1866. Gladstone says he does not
challenge the propriety Of the Dukes ac-
ton, but that he grieved over it. 1T was
an act against patriotism" continues Mr.
Gladstone, and adds: TO disunite The
classes, and so impair the strength of the
Empire, are acts as grave as to strike a
blow at aristOcracy, which yOu did when
in &c You took the chief part in destroying
the reform bill and in ousting the govern

.1,ni,ed Ireland'." bitter Comments.

DUBLIN. July l5.-United Ireland CON-
ments on the British political situation in
a somewhat racy style. Among other
things it SAYS, '"Tricksters, soreheads and
mountebacks, who are about TO assume
office in the present tremendous crisis in
English history, have in common, but one
dominating impulse to grab at the emolu-
ments Of power This is, indeed, grotes-
que sacrifice. It is as if rascal imbued
himself in the vestments Of priest for
the purpose of robbing the altar. "
In another paragraph the paper
SAYS: ''GladstOne's opponents deliberate
ly coneocted the Belfast tragedies for
political purposes. Murder particularly
wholesale will not stop them any more
than it did Ireland's enemies heretofore.
Marquis Salisbury, Joseph Chamberlain
and lord Randolph Churchill are as I'M
scrupulous as Pitt, Clare and Castlereagb,
but they are puny. The ISLANDERS Of the
Tines and Lord Harrington are as infam-
Gus as those OF Lord Cornwall or Gener-
al Ross. Belfast Orangemen have been
selected to goad the Irish people into yiol-
enee in order to secure a pretext for coer-
cion with view to stihe Ireland's demand
until Gladstone shall be dead"

Unable to Agree.

CHICAGO, July 15.-The jury in the
$40. 600 libel suit of Miss Minnie Papin
against the Chicago Daily Nnos Company re-
turned into Judge Rogers Court at 10
o'clock this morning and announced that
they were unable to agree upon a verdict.
The Jurors were then discharged. One of
them states that they stood eleven to one
in favor of verdict holding the defendants
not guilty of libel, but that the twelfth
man stood out for verdict of one cent for
the plaintiff. To this the others could not
be induced TO agree.

A STORMY SESSION.
The Town Council of Martins Ferry the
Scene of Confusion.

The Town Council of Martins Ferry the
Scene of Confusion.
The Martins Ferry Council met
Wednesday evening, and rs near as can be
gotten at, the following is the result of its
deliberations. To start with, Officer Dufl
and Councilman Colts became involved in
an argument concerning NJ. c. Mitchell's
right to act as Mayor or Police Justice,
and the possibility Of the prisoners CON-
mitted by him gaining damages from the
city. The argument waxed hot, and be-
came more noisy than Marshal Burns
cared to tolerate, and he threatened TO Jail
both Of the pleaders. Colts went up stairs
to the Council Chamber, and Officer Duff
turned over his tools and resigned. Ate,
Council met all were found present except
Messrs Elson, and Mistle, the presiding
officer: On motion of Mr.. Williams, Cots
was called TO the chair The chairman
stated that the meeting was called for the
purpose of electing suitable person TO act
rs Mayor and Police Justice during Mayor
Keller's absence. On motion Of Mr. vii.
.liams, James Kerr, Esq, was chosen. The
Council then considered the petition ol
the water works trustees, for land for puml
houses and reservoir.
A resolution was passed requiring the
solicitor TO commence condemnation pro-
ceedings at once, and report his action at a
meeting of Council TO be held next Thurs.
day night. The meeting was kept lively
and intensely interesting throughout by
the remarks of members concerning certain
municipal officers and affairs.
There seems To be difference of opinion
as To whether or not the Mayor has right
TO appoint substitute for himself in case
ofhis absence or inability TO perform his
duties The solicitor claims that he has,
but the Council, in the face Of this fact,
elected Mr.. Kerr 10 fill Mayor Kcller's
place after that gentleman had appointed
NJ. c. Mitchell.

Dominion Officials Determined to Enforce
the Fishing Laws.
SAINT ANDREWS, n. B., July 15.-Hon.
Mr.. Foster, Canadian Minister of Marine
and Fisheries, stated yesterday that there
has been no change in the orders for the
enforcement of the terms of the treaty of
1918 since the seizure Of the schooner
Adams at Digby All reports to the con-
trary are baseless, as is also the report that
the Imperial Government has warned
Canada to modify her course. Mr.. Foster
could not understand how Senator Frye,
Mr.. Dingley and others could maintain
that reciprocal legislation subsequent to
the treaty of ISIS has made that treaty OBJ
solete The subsequent conventions apply
only to commercial relations. He stated
that the orders to customs collectors arc TO
hold vessels believed to have violated the
treaty until the matter is reported to Otto
wa for advice. The captains of cruisers
are given great discretion. They can make
seizures without delay.

A DEFAULTING BANK PRESIDENT.
Another Gent Concludes to Summer in
Canada or Elsewhere.

OMAHA, NEB., July 15.-The Dundy
county bank at Bcnkleman, whose Presi-
dent, Beltzer, fled to Canada, was a private
bank, the firm being McCarty & Better.
This firm was quoted in Brddsireet's at
from $50, 600 to $4,000 and their credit
was very good. Benkleman is town of
about three hundred people. It's claimed
that Beltzer took with him 500, 900 in
funds and securities. 1t is quite likely
that a large amount was entrusted to him
by eastern parties to loan out. The de-
tails as to individual losers and amounts
have not yet been received here The bank
only claimed capital Of $40, 600, and it is
not believed by Omaha bankers that Belt
ger could have taken 800, 600 unless he
has some eastern money loaners' funds.
