FOR POLITICAL EFFECT.
The Stories of Bribe-Taking in the Strip
So Designated.


So Designated.
Washington, Oct. 18.-The hearing
before the Committee on Public Lands
on the proposition to investigate the
opening of the Cherokee strip, took a
rather sensational turn today.
Commissioner Lamoreaux, with
much feeling and great earnestness,
said after reading the charges, he
deemed it the duty of the commission
to appear in behalf of these sixty-one
clerks. The charges We're not spe-
cific. In the newspaper clippings no
single man was named, no place or
time of occurrence specified; and it
was no light thing to charge sixty-one
clerks with dishonorable acts. Sixty
five per cent. Of them were Republi-
cans. many had been in the employ
ment of the government for years and
were residents of Washington with
honorable places in the community
Commissioner Lamoreaux presented
affidavits from every man in charge
of a booth and from these showed
how impossible it would be for of
fcers of the government to accept
brides. He read letters from J. F.
Malone and Mr.. King, registers at
Perry, regarding the matter. In the
letters it was said District Attorney
Speed, a Republican, was stirring up
the matter for political effect, and was
being assisted by Stone, his partner
and assistant. Stone had been La
moreaux's immediate predecessor.
Commissioner Lamoreaux read a
letter from A. P. Swineford, late gov
ernor of Alaska, but now inspector
general of the land Office, showing the
charges were not true and were made
for political effect. Other letters
making counter charges against land
openings under the Republican adj
ministration were read.
Assistant Attorney-G General Hall di-
rected attention mainly to the asser-
tons of Delegate Flynn in the House
and before the committee that orders
of the former administrations were
changed for the present. He showed
this was impossible. The probabili-
ties are the statements made by Com
missioner Lamoreaux and General
Hall will put an end to the investiga-

from the pope bestowing his apostolic
benediction on the cardinal, after
which the procession reformed and

Immediately after the sermon, Rev.
Father Hoecker, vice-regent Of the
American college in Rome, read the
pOpe's letter Of congratulations as
follows:
Leo. CxIII, Pope3To our beloved
son, James Cardinal Gibbons, arch
bishop of Baltimore, health and apos-
tolic benedictiOn-In the month of
October next recurs the auspicous
day on which five and twenty years
ago you were raised to Episcopal dig
nifty. We, therefore, prompted by
your devoted attachment to US, and by
our affectionate regard for you, ex-
press feelings of the heartiest congrat-
ulations wherewith we welcome this
occasion, that it is no less joyous for

In presenting the letter, r Hooker
made an address facilitating the car
dinal and expressing the affection Of
the American college at Rome and re-
peating, cordially, the good wishes
which his holiness in the letter ex-
pressed to him.
The musical programme was the
most impressive feature of the occa-
sion. Mass was sung by a very large
choir with organ and orchestral ac-
compartments. while the gregorian
chanting of the Credo and Te Deum
by seminaries 300 in number. was even
more impressive.
Immediately after mass at the ca
thedra1, the prelates and clergy went

were entertained at dinner by the pres
ident. From the dining hall the car
dinal was escorted to Manette, where

Chicago, Oct 1S-secretary of Agri-
culture Morton spoke on the silver
question before the national commits
sion today. He gave the Populists a
touching up, incidentally. He spoke
in part, as follows: ITO be sure. as
your president has intimated, under
lying all the sciences and arts is agri-
culture, and it has just begun to dawn
upon the agricultural minds that it
needs individual development and self
reliance in each citizen rather than
gregarious organizations which may
be deputized or given power of at
torney to think for the farmers. We
all understand, so far as grange and
alliance organizations are concerned.
they have attended to something else
than farming; they have been

day, bS journeymen farmers, who, for
political purposes, farmed the farmers.
These organizations. as q rule, at
tended everything except agriculture
Many fallacies which have been
evolved for the allurement of the
farmer are very catching. The teach
ing of many of the journeymen farm
ers has been to the effect that the
money of the country is simply a legal
fiction That which our people need
first and foremost is an honest, un-
fluctuating measure of values If
gold is the best money in the world.

We must have a permanent standard

THE STORY is FALSE.
a chinaman Is Not Acting as Consul at
Annoy.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-It is stated at
the state department that the report
that Chinaman is acting as consul
of the United States at Annoy, China,
is incorrect. According to dispatches
on file in the department, it appears
when the consul and vice-consul left
Annoy, they requested DR.. Gruenwelt,
the German consul officer at that
place to act as consul for the United
States. DR.. Gruenwelt having to go to
his own office, one day while acting in
this capacity, he left a Chinese inter
prefer as deputy in charge of the Of
fee of the American consulate and
from this it is supposed the impression
got abroad that the Chinaman was &C
ting as consul !.
