Bribery in Kansas.

TOPEKA, KAN, March 20.-The bri-
berry investigation now in progress here
before a committee of the State Senate
developed huge sensation this morning
and no one can say where it will end.
Representative McAleny, of Wyandotte
county, was put on the stand. McAleny
said: II had an offer of money from Cy-
rus Lelend, Saturday morning, February
25, to sell my vote for United States Sc
nator. He said that the Republicans
were going to elect United States Sena-
tor; that they had 81 votes; that mine
would be sufficient to elect; but that they
had in addition two others who were
pledged. I asked him what he wanted
me to do and for what. He said he un-
derstood it would be money in my pocket
and he named $1,000. 1 told him my
vote was worth more. The amount
agreed on was $1,000 The figure was
not exactly stipulated, but understood
that, if we could agree on stakeholder,
that would be the amount. The man he
wanted me to vote for was W. NJ. Ros-
sincton. Democrat. The matter fell
through because stakeholder could not
be agreed upon.' The committee adj
journed until Tuesday, when mere sensa-
tional developments are promised.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Gen. Raum.
late Commissioner of Pensions, has
addressed letter to the Secretary Of
the Interior, inviting attention to the loss
sustained by the government by theuse
of the Pension Office building as an inau-
curation ball room The loss alluded to
accrued principally by the absence from
duty of employees, made necessary by
the work of preparing the building for
the reception and ceremonies on The
evening of the Inauguration day. This
Raum places at about $1,000 per day, or
$4,000. eight days being consumed IN
preparing the room for use as ball
room, during which time the govern
ment was deprived of the use OF the
employees in the Pension Office. a sug-
sestion is made by the late Commissioner
that. in the future, a separate building
should be provided for ceremonies Of
this character.

The City Council has certainly taken
commendable course in empowering
the board of public works to give EN-
ploY ment to as many as ono hundred
men upon the streets OF the city during
the coming winter. Although the daily
wages are small, even this amount will
be very acceptable to those out of work
and unable to secure more remunerative
employment 1t is the most consistent
act of charity which could be perform ed
by the city and only the lack of finances
should be hindrance to putting the
scheme into operation on moro extern
sive scale. There is plenty of work to
be done upon the improvement Of the
streets of our city and 1t is to be hoped
that the time will soon come when the
city can conveniently extend this work
more. In the mean time it does we'll in

Returns.
The estimate given by the Richmond
Times on the morning after the cleo.
tion, that the State had gone Demo
cratic by over 10000, seems to be fully
sustained. The figures now look like
fifty odd thousand. 1t will, however,
be several days before the exact figures
can be given. The majority is large
enough and the Democrats are not
worrying whether it will hover around
the forties or fifties.
Special reports continue to sustain
the estimate that the Democrats will
probably lose but one or two senatofs:s
The defeat of Mr.. Holt, in the Twenty
seventh district, Is not fully conceded.
The Sixth, comprised Of Floyd, Carroll
and Grayson, is still in doubt. Dis
patches from Tszewell said it was al
most certain that the Democratic sen
ator was elected in that district.
The Populists and Republicans to-
gether may have ten or eleven members
of the house.
The returns from this city and county
now all in, give the following majofities:

AleXandr1a is all agog over a reported
horsewhipping case. in which an irate
wife chastised her husband for making
scandalous charges against her, SAYS the
Washington Evening News. Richard
Murphy. saloon keeper, 30 the story
runs, is very jealous of his wife, and In
LIE Roy Martins barroom, on King
street, week or SO ago, he charged
several persons with being unduly init.
mate with her. Yesterday evening Mrs.
Murphy learned of the charges her
better half had made against her, and,
in order to verify them, she sent for Mr..
Martin and learned the truth. She
named Knight, who was with him,
to go to her husbands place on Royal
and Princess streets with her. I'm
known to them she concealed horse
whip under her cloak and when she
reached her husbands place she laid it
in good fashion over his back and then
left. Murphy thea procured pistol
and started out with the avowed inten-
tions of shooting Martin and others,
against whom his jealousy had been
aroused. peace warrant has been
sworn out against Murphy and the
police are looking for him. 1t is said
by those who are acquainted with the
parties that the end of the trouble has
not come, and before it does blood will
be spilled.

THE IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS

According to r. 6. Dun s. Co.'S.
weekly review Of trade the turn of the
tide has come. Since the elections
there has been distinct improvement
in business, and partially in manufac-
turing. There is some increase in
actual transactions and much more in
the tone of business. Men of all parties
feel that there is ground for greater
confidence, the silver question being
indefinitely out of the way and the
chance of disturbing action in other
respects being lessened, while the right
of the people to rule their rulers has
been INDICATED.
While it is yet too early to look for
great changes there is already dis
tinct improvement in the demand for
manufactured products since the action
on the silver bill, some increase in the
output OF pig iron and in sales of wool,
In the building trades in several cities
and the failures for the week latest re-
ported show lower liabilities. In brief,
the recovery which begun when the sill
yer repeal bill passed continues with in.
creased strength.
The output of pig iron, though not
yet half as large as that of a year ago.
ia larger than it was at the beginning of
October. The monthly statement shows
5000 tons weekly, against 70, O65 Octo-
Der LIST, and III ,Os2 Novembe lst, 1899,
and there is also a slight decrease in
the stocks of unsold iron on hand.
The sudden fall in the prices of steel
rails, which has been maintained at SEQ
for long time, but is now S22 at the
mills, has brought the quick enlarge.
mont OF demand which might have been
anticipated. and in turn the demand for
ore, coke and pig iron improves
There is also better demand for
some manufactured products at the
West, though no improvement as yet
appears in prices and with few large
contracts taken at the East the prices
are nevertheless at the lowest point.
