naming appropriation bills on the cal.

Monday being individual suspension
day permits bills to bo called up out Of
their ordor. Tho friends OF tho New
Mexico bill have long awaited this op-
portunitv, as tho new quorum counting
rule gives them q hopo OF passing tho
bill. The contest has assumed party
aspect, na Delegate Joseph, OF Now
Mexico, and othors Interested In tho
measure regard tho prospective state
assurcdly Democratic. This may be
offset somewhat by an effort to admit
Oklshomn, which Ia regarded as pros
pectivo Republican statc.
1t is expected that the naval appro-
priation bill will be reached on We'd
nesday, and Chairman Cummings Of
the naval committee thinks one day
will DO sufficient for the consideration
and passage OF the measure. There is
the chance, however, that an animated
controversy may arise over recent naval
armor plate frauds. Tho committee
will not provoke tho contest, as these
frauds have already induced the COM

BRIBERY CHARGED.
Money Used in Connection with the Pend
Ing Tariff Bill.

Money Used In Connection with the Pend
Ing Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 16.- Lodge intro
duced in the senate today resolution
authorizing the appointment Of five SEN
ators to investigate charges of attempted
bribery of senators in connection with
the pending tariff bill, and also the
charges published in the Philadelphia
Press Monday morning, containing allie
cations relating to the influence of the
sugar trust on tariff legislation. The res
olution was laid upon the table till to-
morrow. Rumors of the use of money to
influence action on the tariff bill have
been circulated, but have heretofore re-
ceived but little attention. It is learned
definitely today that limitations that a
money consideration could be secured for
votes against the tariff bill we're made to
the clerks of Senators Kyle and Hunton
by North Dakota lobbyist, formerly a
mem Der of congress from a Southern
state, and who was identified with the
carpet baggers. 1t was represented that
Kyle would receive $14,0 and SIC, 900
would be retained by 90 between as a
commission.
1t is scarcely possible that any syndi-
cate controlling money necessary to at
tempt to purchase votes would entrust il
to man who approached clerks.
