Resolution to Investigate Certain Allega-
tions of Bribery.
WASHINGTON, May II. - Senator
Lodge, soon after the senate met, in
troduced a resolution authorizing the
appointment of five senators to investi.
gate charges of attempted bribery of
senators in connection with the pending
tariff bill. and also the charges in long
article published in the Philadelphia
Press on Monday morning containing
allegations relating to the influence of
the sugar trust upon tariff legislation
He asked for the immediate considera-
ton of the resolution but Senator Cock
Grill of Missouri asked that it lie upon
the table for day.
Rumors of Bribery.
Rumors of the use of of money to i'll
fuence action one way or the other on
the tariff bill have been in circulation
here at various times during the past
few months but heretofore have re-
ceived little attention. It is learned
definitely today that certain senators
have received limitations that money
consideration could be secured for
their votes against the tariff, though
whether the alleged briber had any
authority for his promise is matter Of
some doubt. The negotiations appar-
emily have gone
No Further Than Limitations
to the clerks of Senators Kyle and
Hunton. These intimations came from
a North Dakota man who is known as
a lobbyist on several schemes. He was
formerly a member of congress from
the southern states and was identified
with so-called carpet bag government.
The amount which it was intimated
Senator Kyle could receive was $14, 900,
and $1,000 was to be retained
by the man making the negotiation as a
commission. Mr.. McF arlane, clerk to
Senator Kyle, says the matter never
went any further than an intimation.
He promptly informed Senator Kyle,
who is now in South Dakota and will
return to Washington Saturday.

a BROTHERHOOD VIEW.
h Question OF Money and Enuur-
ance viii Decide.


a member OF the Great Northern
enginemen'S committee was seen on
the street Yesterday, and had few
words TO say on the present situation.
His views were unique. He was Ger
tain that if Mr.. Hill made up bis mind
to fight out the struggle on his own
grounds he could do so, providing he
had ready capital. He said further.
that Mr.. Hill could secure no end of
men. members of brotherhood organiZa-
tions. if 1le So desired. He repeated the
we'll known fact oil the great body of
trainmen now seeking employment.
"Fealty TO the brotherhoods aud duties
to their families will not cause men
out CT work to spend time in
splitting hairs. Where duty to
ones family arises in opposi-
ton to brotherhood rules. the
latter are necessarily abrogated by
necessity. In fact. our laws counte-
nance such proceeding" He was of
the opinion that the grand chiefs and
grand masters will not adopt any policy
inimical to the interests of members of
the brotherhoods just Ito stand in"
with the A. 4. .. The methods of the
latter be considered erratic ana irregu.
lar. De firmly believed. lie said, that
this new federation was in hostility to
all the old OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES inten-
tionally, perhaps-but because 1t as
sumed concurrent jurisdiction with
them. He had no hesitancy in saving
that the matter of ultimately knocking
out the present movement was easy of
accomplishment if Mr.. Hill firmly
wi1!ed ii.
The brotherhood men generally ex-
press the view that the company is
bound to win. 'It is only question:
said one, (which side has money

men become moneyless they become
hungry. Starvation makes iends of
men and they become desperate. hope
matters may be amicably settled soon.
If they are not, should not be sur
prised at lawiess outbreaks and the
shedding of human blood. At such
times men do not think of courts or law,
or lnjunctioHs. They become savages.
In the mountainous part of the road the
men could hold out longer, but ulti-
mately they must give up the fight. un-
less President Hill makes, the first
overtures. For him to yield now would

cation both expressed a, wish for a

ton arrived, and promptly forwarded
his reply 10 the senders. which reached

all matters affecting their relations
with the company.

railway union officials, who at once sent
out telegrarns 10 all divisions asking
that the committees proceed without
delay to st. Paul. Communication was
also established with Grand Organizer

the men will be asked to come via the
Northern Pacific. wherever practicable.
In connection with this movement Mr..

Or not. He was glad to know that
conference was to be held soon, and
thinks the beginning of the end is at

WASHINGTON. April f9.-Representa
tive Johnson, of North Dakota, whose
state is so greatly affected by the strike
on the Great Northern railroad, was ar
the postoffice department and depart
ment of justice today in the interest Of
his constituents. He says that the post
master general will not accede to the
request of the railroad company, but
will insist that mail cars be run whether
passenger or other cars are run or not.
Mr. johnson says that the railroad CON-
pany insists that it cannot be compelled
10 run its trains for mail unless it takes
passengers and express also. Mr.. John
son was at the department of Justice TO
see il the Inconvenience that would be
caused the people if Judge Sanborn's
order stood could not be avoided.
II have thrown myself wholly on the
side of the strikers" said Mr.. johnson.
Il am against the railroad and believe
the strikers are right. have prepared
a resolution of impeachment against
Judge Sanborn and will introduce it as
soon as | can obtain copy of his order,
so that know officially what it Was.
Furthermore, / don't believe that the
railroad company can hold the state or
municipalities responsible If they des-
troy or Durn the property Of the rail-
road. l know from my experience as
district attorney that the company has
educated the people for long series of
years in lawlessness. The company
has failed to obey the laws and has de-
fed them. l am sure that the same
rules that obtained in Pennsylvania a
few years ago would not follow in my
state. rather the municipalities could
hold the company responsible if pro-
perty is destroyed, and also for the dam
age done TO business for failure to run
trains.
DELAYOF THE MAILS.
