NEW YORK CITY ELECTIONS
The House Special Committee to Investi-
gate Makes Report.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The House
special committee, of which Ashbel P.
Fitch is chairman, has concluded its re-
port upon the supervision and admins
tration of the Federal election laws in
New York city.
The report states that testimony was
promptly given by the U. S. Marshal and
his assistant, but the Chief Supervisor Of
Elections refused any obedience to their
summons.
The committee expresses the opinion
SHAT all of the Federal Election laws
have entirely failed to produce any good
results in the direction of purity of cleo
tions, and have been productive of such
serious and dangerous results that they
ought at once to be repealed"
Concerning John 1. Davenport, the re-
port says:
'He holds his office by tenure which
makes him practically independent of any
criticism or danger of removal. He not
only holds this office of Chief Supervisor
of Elections, but he has also had himself
appointed a United States Commissioner,
SO that he can sit as an examining magis-
trate.
'With the power of the Government
behind him, and with the money of the
W usCI ho htSS AIendSS0 AOA
years a detective bureau, by which he
has sought to get proof of the crimes,
which, he has claimed, existed in New
York city.
when, in the first capacity as a de-
tective, he had obtained such proof as he
wished to use, he then, in his second ca
pacity as a public prosecutor, issued the
warrants for the arrest of the alleged
criminals.
'Then, in his capacity as a United
States Commissioner, he has heard his
own charges against the prisoners, which
he presented to himself as judge, by him
self as prosecuting attorney, and has de-
cided himself upon their guilt or limo
cence.
The committee asserts its whole exami'
nation failed to show a conviction fol
illegal voting in New York city in the
federal courts under these laws, and since
the present District Attorney came into
office.
AS a result of many thousand arrests
only three men have been indicted fol
false registration, and one of these was
acquitted. A witness sent by the Treas
ury Department before the committee es-
timated the expense for this year at ST.
| 000, 900, but the committee believes the
| amount will doubtless be much more.
The committee presents to the House a
bill providing for the repeal of the laws
| with favorable recommendation for its
passage

THE ROME BANK SCANDAL.
Accusations Against Many Prominent Men
Other Failures Looked for.


Other Failures Looked for.
ROME, Jan. 27.-A number of promi-
nent men, including ex-Ministers, depu-
ties and journalists, are openly charged
with having received money from the
Banca Romano for years.
1t is said that some newspapers re-
ceived a subsidy of 10000 lire annually.
The judicial inquiry is said to have shown
that the Banca Romano supplied the
Ministry with large amount of money
in the last election.
The failure of the Banca Romano will,
it is expected, cause the collapse OF sew
eral other institutions, notably the Banca
Undesirable.
Signor Taulonga, governor of the Banca
Romano, refuses to answer questions at
present, but promises to reveal every
thing to the judges.
Signor Cucinello, manager of the Bank
of Naples, cynically tells interrogators
that they will find everything in his
strong box.
Experts have been unable, after three
days continuous efforts, to force this box
or to discover the secret of its lock.

DURATION OF LIFE.
Causes Which Tend to AbrIdge That of
the Average Being.

the Average Being.
The duration of life depends neither
on climate nor food nor race nor any ex-
terna1 condition, but on the natural
constitution and intrinsic vigor of our
organs
One hundred years is the natua1 life
of man. The curtailment below this
normal term is the result of those err
rors and excuses in the manner of liv-
ing which impair the organs and pro-
duce premature decay. From the time
of Noah to the days of Joshua and
Moses the record is one of gradual de-
crease in longevity. Joshua waxed old
and stricken in years some time before
his death at one hundred and ten.
The whole of life teens with Incl
dents which must need effect, more or
less, its duration. In manufacturing
and commercial country particularly,
where population is more crowded, and
where art and labor in their every
branch are strained to the utmost
reach of human eXertion, life becomes
subject to influences which act power
fully upon it and tend to shorten its
duration.
Some particular occupations abridge
life by bodily confinement and the pri-
walton of good air. When there is a
free current of pure air the functions
of the body and mind are kept in
healthy action by moderate exercise,
not by strained tension, and if the pur-
suits in life are of moral tendency
and effect, life may be prolonged to ad-
vanced years. But when we indulge
in vicious habits, which create pain
and trouble, life GIBBS away almost i'm
perceptibly and we do not notice its
decline until the fatal regrcss: LAS
