Rnmors of the use of money to lhhu-
mon action one way or the other on the
tariff bill have been in clrculatloh nele a.
various times during the past rev "oi.ns'
hit heretofore have received niue a'.en-

senators have received limitations that Il
MONEY consideration could be secured 1or
their votes against the tariff, though
whether the alleged briber had any au-
thority for his promise is a matter VI
some doubt. The negotiations apparently
bav e gone no further than intimations 10
the clerks of Senators Kyle and Hunton'
These intimations came from a Nortn
Dakota man who is known as a LOBBYIST
ON several schemes. He was formerly Il
member of congress from the Southern
states and was identified with the So
called carpet-bag government.
The amount which it was IN
Senator Kyle could receive was $l4'ooo'
and 1000 was to be retained by the man
making the negotiation as a commission.
Mr.. McFarlane, clerk to Senator hyle'
saws the matter never went any further
than an intimation. He promptly in
formed Senator Kyle, who is now Ill
South Dakota and will return to Wash
ington Saturday.
The story caused a sensation during
the early hours of the day. Later it
caused only amusement. The New York
Sun printed the rumor yesterday. The
supposed briber's description fits Maj. A.
w. Buttz of Buttzville, N. D. Maj.
Buttz has been in Washington all winter.
When it became whispered about that he
was the alleged briber the sensation was
fully exploded. 1t is the generally ex-
pressed opinion that no syndicate would
place any money in his hands to pur
chase votes or for any other purpose.
