A Columbus (Ohio) special says:
"Within the last few days two members
OF the Legislature which elected Senator
Payne have offered to make full dis
closure of the bribery pertaining to that
election. In short, both desire to make
confessions, which will prove them BRIDE
takers. In return they ask that the Re-
publican State Central Committee pay
them money enough To leave the country.
The sum asked is $4,000, and for this
amount both agree to furnish proof enough
to GUST Mr.. Payne. The proposition has
been rejected, although the shameless
members have been here urging some one
TO buy them.' Tnis is Republican story,
and probably has no foundation in fact.
Ohio politics presents many curious fea-
lures, however, and no doubt some poll
tlcians Of that State would be willing to
confess anything, whether true or false,
for a good deal less THAI 500, 900 brides.

finally compelled 10 yield TO their de-

them $1,000 for bUycotting expenses.
Wilzig has been convicted Of unlawfully

1t is pretty certain that Collector
Beecher, of the Puget sound district, Will
be confirmed by the Senate. The charge
against him has narrowed down to
question OF yeraeity between Beecher and
his aecuser. Temple, an employe OF the

mitted 10 the Senate committee strong evil

The Jupiter Inlet Station.

The bill to establish a signal station at
Jupiter Inlet, Florida, and to build tele-
graph line thereto, in order that passing
vessels may be warned of the approach of
storms, having passed the Senate is now
before the House Committee on Military
Affairs. The Maritime Register, which has
been watching this bill with considerable
interest and urging its passage, expresses
the opinion that the prospect that the
station will be established is good.
There is no doubt that the need of this
station is great. The number of vessels
which pass in sight of Jupiter lighthouse
during year is very large. In fact, about
all the vessels engaged in our enormous
trade with the West Indies, Mexico and
the Gulf ports, when bound from these ports
to ports on the North or South Atlantic
coast or Europe, pass within sight of this
lighthouse. Weather signals displayed at
that point, therefore, indicating the ap-
proach of severe storms, would doubtless
do much towards saving life and property.
The New York brokers have begun an
organized war on the bucket shops, and
it is believed that these dead-falls will be
driven out Of business. 1t is charged
that prominent officials in the telegraph
companies are interested in a concern
known as the "Big Four" that has its
headquarters on lower Broadway and is
said to control 800 bucket shops IN New
York aud other cities. They employ
forty operators, and it is charged that
they obtain their quotations by collision
with the interested telegraph officials
1t is alleged that general news" ticker
has been put in use by one OF the CON-
panies, which is simply an arrangement
for furnishing stock quotations to the
shops, in violation of the contract with
the exchanges. The quotations as semi
out are furnished the companies by the
Stock Exchanges own reporters, and il
is said that the Governing Committee
nave evidence that this news is stolen and
regular business made of selling it tc
outside parties.

fisheries Of the British provinces as should Sc
cure the Canadian rights from encroachment
BY United States fishermen, and at the same

privileges guaranteed to them by such con-
