Republican United States
Senator.
An Attempt to Manipulate the
Registration in Della

Flattering Inducements Held
Out by Him to a Demo-
cratic Registrar.
A Promise Given of a Land
Office Position Worth
$1,000 a Year.

WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 29.-United
States Senator Anthony B. Higgins has
been accused of an attempt at bribery
by Isaac j. Wooten. Democratic regis
trar in East Little Creek Hundred, SuS-
sex county. Delaware. Mr.. Wooten dis
closes an alleged plot of the Republic
ans to carry Delaware for the Repub-
lican presidential electors by flaudu-
lent means. He says that on Oct. Is he
had an interview with Senator Higgins
at the dwelling house of George E.
Smith. postmaster at Laurel, who is
one of Higgins political lieutenants,
and man of influence. After this he
says that Higgins said that if he would
do what Smith wanted HIM to in Sussex
county the Republicans would carry
Delaware at the presidential election.
Higgins declared it was his ambition to
show the people that he could carry
his state. He said Harrison would back
him up, and that Noble would stand by
him.
Previous to the interview with Hig-
gins it had been proposed to Wooten by
Smith that he (WOotem should get him.

and then
Manipulate the Tickets
of the illiterate voters in the interest of
the Republicans. Wooten says he pre-
tended to be willing to do what was
wanted in order to find out who was
back of the scheme.
Higgins, in the interview with
Wooten, promised, soWooten says. that
if he would manipulate the ballots as
required he should be rewarded with a
lucrative government office. W0oten
says he reported the matter to bis
friends, and they told him to get Hig
gins to promise him some particular
place. Wooten accordingly mentioned
to Smith that he wanted the position in
the land Office at Salisbury, Md, which
paid 81, 500 year. Smith wrote to Hig
gins about the position, and afterward
showed Wooten letter from Rigging
in regard to the matter.
Senator Higgins was seen by re-
porter this afternoon, and questioned as
to the charge of attempted bribery made
by Democratic Registrar Wooten. He
admitted he was in Laurel on the night
i'll question and stayed at the house of
Postmaster Smith, but denied that he
saw Wooten there, and declared that all
of the charges were false, and that he
would diSprove them at the proper
time. He declined to talk further, how
ever, until he saw Wooten's statement.

Caused by Bad Water.

PARIS, Aug. 10.-Dr. Brouardel has
compiled an elaborate and detailed re-
port on the so-called cholera outbreak in
Paris and some of its suburbs. The re-
port proves that the outbreak was en-
tirely due to the drinking of water OBJ
tanned from the river Seine. Districts
served from other rivers or from springs,
or where the drinking water is boiled,
entirely escaped the disease, although
in many instances they were within a
few yards of affected places, while the
maximum number of cases occurred in
districts supplied with water from the
most polluted portion of the Seine.
Not single case of the disease could
be traced to imported cholera or had the
characteristics of true Asiatic cholera.

SIMLA, Aug. 10-The revolt of the
Hazara tribes in Afghanistan becomes
more serious daily, and many of the
great tribes have now combined their
forces against the ameer, who is collect
ing all his resources to put down the re-
bellion. In addition to 10000 regular
troops and an equal force of irregulars,
the ameer is trying to raise further levies
by holding out to the loyal tribesmen
promises Of great reward if they will as
sist him to combat the revolving Hazaras.
Among other things the ameer holds out
the prospect that in the event of subju-
cation Of the rebels, the country will be
divided between the tribesmen who as
sist him. These promises, and the pros
pect of getting possession of Hazara
land, have induced many of the tribes
men to join the standard of the ameer.
1t is reported here that the ameer is
anxious to meet General Sir Frederick
Roberts, who, with large detachment
of troops, has been dispatched by the
Indian government to meet the ameer
at Jellalabad This mission is accom-
panied by political agent and its main
object is to arrange plans with the
ameer against internal feuds and against
the advance of Russia in Afghanistan,
which is the road to India. 1t is also
reported that in view of the dispatch of
General Roberts the ameer will publish
generally throughout Afghanistan that
the viceroy of India has sent him

HARRISON'S VETO
Deprives a Poor Man of His
Rights to Fortune.
How Poor William McGarrahan's De-
clining Years Were Made Miser-
abe by the Presidential Veto.


A poor man stands no chance for
his rights IL they are placed in the
hands of Ben Harrison. Especially
is this true when the aforementioned
rights affect the fortunes of million
aire Republican. The following his
tory of William McGarrahan's famil-
lar claim, taken from the Memphis
Commercial, emphasizes the point
more forcibly than anything that has
been written recently on the subject /:
"The veto by President Harrison
of the McGarra han claim bill is the
last act In the mournful tragedy of
poor William McGarrahan's life.
This is but one of the many tragedies
of like character Of which Wash ing
ton City is the scene. The poor,
threadbare, white-haired mendi-
cant, tottering about the cor
ridors, watching, waiting, hop
ing against hope and ever pur-
suing a claim which has de-
voured the years and sapped the ener-
gies Of his life, is a familiar character
about Washington. Often his claim
is without merit except in his own
eyes it has no supporters in Con-
gress and no friends ON the outside ;
he himself has become nuisance and
bore to the legislator whom he
vexes with his opportunities. Yet
from sheer force of habit and the con-
trolling power of the monomania
which has taken possession of him he
struggles on and still hopes that for
tune will favor him in the end. The
claim of MCGarrahan, however, has
had many strong advocates, and the
story is one of unusual interest. In
1914, when California was a part of
Mexico, the Mexican government
made large grant of land to Vincent
Gormez, a Mexican, and in few
years afterward the land was pur-
chased by Garrahan. Shortly after
his purchase, however, some persons
finding that the land was rich in
mineral deposits "squatted" upon il
and held ii against theowner. McGar-
rahan appealed to the courts and got a
decree confirming his title to the
land, but the New Idria Mining
Company, which was working the
deposits, refused to surrender. Nc
Garrahan twice had his title con.
tirmed by the attorney general and
secretary of the interior before 1862,
and process was issued by the courts
to put him in possession. This mis-.
carried through some accident, and
the statute of limitations interviewed
to bar further legal steps TO recover
the property. Then nlcGarrahan
appealed to Congress. 1t is IA singu.
lar fact that every committee that
has ever acted on McGarrahan's
claim has reported it favorable, and
it has several times passed one house
or the other. The claim has been
stubhornly resisted by the mining
company Of which ID. o. Mills, the
wealthy father in-law of Whitelaw
Reid, is the chief stakeholder. AT
last it passed both houses of Congress
and poor old Billy McGarrahan ielt
that his day of triumph had come.
But the pre- sidential veto fell upon il
and "Old Billy" is again pauper. /"
