The prosecution was conducted by

MOST STARTLING!
The ssnateS MOdesty Has Been Shocked
By Attempts at Bribery,

0V 9SAOV4ys
WASHINGTON, May 18.-The senate
did not dare investigate the charges
made some weeks ago to the effect that
certain senators were SpeculRting In
sugar trust stock, but il passed resolu-
tion yesterday to investigate alleged Ct
tempts at bribery. This is looked upon
rs piece Of juvenile bravery. Such RR
investigation can now be made without
impliCatinglRny senator, while the inves-
tigation proposed by Senator PETER, IL
made at that time, would have stirred
up the animals in great shape. The
resolution passed yesterday is:
WHEREAS, Il has been stated in the Sun, a
newspaper published in New York, that
brides have been offered TO certain senators
10 induce them TO vote against the pending
tariff bill; and
WHMRRAs, Il has also been stated in q
signed article in the Press, q newspaper
published in Philadelphia, that the sugar
schedule has been made up as ID now stands
in the proposed amendment in considera-
ton Of large sum Of money paid for cam
psign purposes Of the democratic party;
therefore,
Resolved, That a committee Of five sena-
tors be appointed to investigate these
charges and TO inquire further whether any
contributions have been made by the sugar
trust or any person connected Herewith to
any political party for campaign or election
purposes, or to secure or defeat legislatiOn,
and whether any senator has been or ia
Speoulating in what are known as sugar
stocks during the consideration Of the tariff
bill now before the senate, and with power
10 send for persons and papers and to ad-
minister Oaths.
Resolved, further, That said committee be
authorized to investigate and report upon
any charge or charges which may be fled
before il, alleging the action Of any senator
has been Oorruptly or improperly Influenced
in the consideration Of said bill, or that any
attempt has been made to influence legisla-
tion.
Speaking to the original resolution Mr..
Lodge said an article appeared in the
Philadelphia Press, charging that enor-
nous profits would accrue to the sugar
trust by the fixing Of the date when the
sugar schedule would 90 into effect ct
January l, which profit was estimated ct
so million dollars. It charged that the
schedule was exacted by the trust in full
filment Of pledges made to it during the
campaign Of 1892. 1t also charged the
Jones amendments were In the hands Of
q firm of New York brokers whose names
were given at the very time when their
existence was denied by the chairman Of
the finance committee and'others. These
charges were made by E. j. Edwards,
well known newspaper man, who wrote
over the nom de plume Of Holland. II

Railroad Representatives Ignore the Sa-
prems Court Decision Regard

preme UOurt DeclSiOn Regard
ing Bates,
Pursuant to the thirty days. continu-
anCe from April Is, the board Of railroad
commissioners on the 10th inst. took up
the matter Of hearing evidence and sd-
justing freight rates, which had bean
brought before them by numerous petit
tioners in different localities Of the state.
The continuance had been taken by re-
quest Of the representatives OF all the
leading roads, they having previously
been notified that the petitions would be
considered.
At the last session A. A. Hurd Rp-
pearsd Ror the A., T. & 8. f., N. Fl,
LOOmis for the Union Pacific, Judge
KelsO for the Missouri Pacific, and sev-
erRl others connected with the freight
department of tho different roads were
present. They seemed to have come to
q thorough understanding among them
selves that they would have nothing to
do with the hearing ss representatives
Of their respective roads, unless assured
by the board that no reduction Of rates
would bs made.
Mr.. Hurd said: 1--WE had no notice Of
any kind Of q complaint from any par
tiCular point; simply notice Of general
complaints, and the board asked simply
for a conference. We are ready to con-
fer with tho board and aid it any way
We can. If, however, it is the intention
Of the board to proceed under the SEQ
tiOns authorizing them TO establish rates
we will have nothing TO do with it,"
Mr.. Loomis sanctioned what Mr.. Hurd
said and also raised the question Of the
boards jurisdiction in the matter Of f1x-
ing rates. In these propositions oil the
rsilwsy fraternity present Concurred.
Senator leedy, Of Corey county, and
]. G. Waters, Of Topeka, represented the
petitioners for more equitable freight
rates, but Mr.. Waters was not present
when the case was called. Mr.. Leedy
called the boards attention to the fact
that the railroad people had been given
thirty days. time and ample notice Rs TO
what the object Of the hearing was, and
il they had nothing to present to the
board it was their own affair and they
could withdraw il they wanted to. To
show that they were wrong as to the
boards jurisdiction Mr.. Leedy read the
statutes on the subject and supple
mented his argument with the supreme
court decision in the Symms grocery
case, in which the court had said this
board had power TO fix rates and their
finding should be pTtHG facie evidence
Of its corEectness Tho board decided
without hesitation that the hearing
should proceed and after more feeble
protests the railroad attorneys retired.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, MAY 2S, 1894.

On yesterday NEW I0rk paper, Irom
its correspondent here, had printed q
story Of an alleged attempt TO bribe soma
tors that since had been confirmed by
an interview with one Of the senators.
Mr.. Hunton (dem. P&) said 40 his
name had been connected with the
charges he desired to say he hoped they
would be investigated to the lowest
depths. lt was not becoming in him to
say more than this at this time. As a
matter Of fact he had never been sp-
preached at all He felt annoyed that
anyone should suppose hs could have
been bribed, and especially in the form
in which the attempt was made, through
we'll beloved SON, who stood Rs high
above anything of the sort az he (Hun-
tony claimed to be.
Mr.. CoClrell (dem. Mo. suggested that
the resolution be amended 90 that the in,
quiry relating to the sugar trust should
extend to contributions TO any political
party for campaign purposes.
Mr.. Lodge declared he would cheer.
fully accept the amendment.
Mr.. Hsnsbrough (rep. N. d } said that
as O. w. BUTTE, of Ransom county, North
Dakota, one Of his constituents was
charged with having made the attempt
at bribery he desired to make q state
ment.
Mr.. Buttz had called upon him last
night for q conference, and had con-
oluded that the best thing to do would
be to court the fullest investigation. He
had letter from Mr.. Butte which he de-
sired to have read in the senate, and he
sent 1t to the clerks desk.
The letter asks that the senators from
North Dakota demand q speedy investi-
CATION Of the allegations, which, 30 far as
the newspapers publishing them are CON.
cerned, Mr.. Buttz stigmatizes as false
hoods and slanders, utterly without
foundation.
Mr.. COckrell suggested another amend
ment to include after the words ''sugsr
trust" or any persons connected there
with, and also after the words money
paid for campaign purposes" or to 90
cure legislation. Mr.. Lodge accepted
this amendment also.
Mr.. Allen thought the scope of the
resolution should be brosdened 30 as to
include investigation ofssthe charges GO
ing the rounds Of the newspapers that
senators had been speculating in sugar
stock.
There was no response to Mr.. Aliens
suggestion. Mr.. Chandler wanted to
amend the resolution 90 as to include
money paid by the sugar trust, not only
for campaign, but for "othar election
purposes" He had occasion to believe
all he said, that money has been used by
the sugar trust to elect United States
senator's.
Mr.. Lodge accepted this amendment
also.
