Kyle on the Bribery Charges.

Missouri Valley, Iowa, May Ex-senator
Kyle of South Dakota, passed through here
last night, bound for Washington. He was
err much surprised to learn by the news
papers, that some of the facts in connection
with the attempted bribery of certain Sena-
tors to vote against the tariff bill had
leaked out. He did not care to discuss the
matter for publication, but stated that the
circumstances occurred couple of months
ago and intimated that there was good
deal more of a sensational nature that
would be developed If an investigation We're
made.
He plainly points out that there is nothing
extraordinary in what has occurred at
Washington in connection with the tariff
bill, as it is an open secret that there is a
lot of lobbyists that infest committee rooms
every time any important measure is under
consideration before the Senate. Just to
what extent money has been used to inf1u-
ence the passage of prominent measures he
does not know, but one thing is certain, and
that is that the present investigation may
have the effect of clearing the Senate corri-
dors and committee rooms of lobbyists who
would debauch the nations legislators by
big bribes from the path of duty and honest
convictions.

TINDEReox TABERNACLE.
sheathed with Rosin Covered Paper to
Save Expense.

New York, May 1s.-Fire Commissioner
Worster's investigation into the Brook
lyn Tabernacle fire has not yet been COM
pleted, but it has shown that the struct-
ure was huge tinder box, sheathed
throughout, above and below, and on
all sides, with preparation of paper stock
and straw fiber soaked in rosin, and then
covered with oils and paints. All that
was needed to set off DR.. Talmage's place
of worship like a powder train was a
mere touch of the flames. Viewed in
the light of the dicoveries made yester-
day, the escape of one of the great audi
ences from terrible holocaust seems
little short of marvellous. The reason
why the trustees of the Tabernacle used
sheathing of paper, strawboard and rosin
instead of plaster, was that they were
short OF cash and in a hurry to COM
plete the church. The investigation has
gone far enough to show that electrical
wires and appliances in the organ had
nothing to do with the fire. The i'm
preston is growing that the Tabernacle
was destroyed by the deliberate act Of ar
incendiary.
