BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
The Fact that Direct Offer Of Money WsI
Made Proved by Senator Kyle.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The special
committee appointed to investigate the
charges of bribery alleged to have been
attempted by Major Buttz, and also to
consider the doings of the Sugar Trust
in connection with legislation, met this
morning few minutes af er 10 O'Clock
in Senator Gray's committee room.
The first witness called was Senator
Hunton who told the committee all be
knew about the case, his story being as
heretofore published. Major Butte was
also summoned to appear this morn
ing, but when be arrived was compelled
to wait outside until the committee
called him'in.
Major Buttz asked that he be permit
ted to be,presentand hear the other wit
nessss and cross examine them, but he
was told that the committee was inves-
tigatirg the case behind closed doors.
Major Buttz then reduced his de-
mand to writing, and through his
attorney, ex-Congressman MCGOWAN,
Of Michigan, served it upon the chair
man of the committee, insisting that
it was his right as an accused person
to be present by counsel and have his
interests protected.
Senator Hunton left the committee
room at 1870, but declined to make
any statement beyond saying that the
committee had requested him to say
nothing to anybody. Senator Kyle
was the next witness.
When the bribery committee shortly
after / O'Clock took recess until Up. m.
Senator Gray, speaking for the corn-
mittee, said that as soon as this case
was concluded the committee would
print the testimony and lay it before
the Senate. The fact that direct offer
Of money was made has been proved
by one witness at least, according to
the statement of the Chairman of the
committee. Mr.. Hunton knew moth.
ing except hesrsay evidence, but told
the committee what he had learned
from his son, Theodore Hunton, Jr.
His son was next put on the stand,
| and told the committee how he had
been approached by Major Buttz and
| offered sum of money if he would in
duce his father to vote against the
| pending tariff.
Mr.. Kyle was On the stand longer
than any one else, but it wss developed
that the offer to bribe had been made
to him directly by the man charged
with the offence, Senator Kyle testi.
fed that Major Buttz had offered him
money for his vote, saying that he
could have s75, 600, and made an efe,
of S14, 900 down.

Rapidity OF Earthquake Waves
New York SUM-

The recent earthquakes in Greece
were observed in England. That fact
sufficiently indicates the delicacy Of
the modern scientific devices for de-
tecting natural phenomens that would
otherwise escape notice. The observa-
tions spoken of were made at Birming-
ham on the evening of April 81 by
means of a peculiarly constructed pen
dulum which is 50 connected with a
rotating mirror that a tilt of the ground
the apparatus stands on appears mag
niied 5000 times. A very slight mo-
tion is thus perceptible. On this occa-
sion the pendulum continued to move
for nearly half an hour, indicating that
the ground was rocking to and fro dur.
ing that time, although the motion
was so slight that it entirely escaped
all ordinary means of observation.
It was afterwards found that the
earthquake which shook Thebes to
pieces had occurred only fourteen min
utes before the pendulum in Birming.
ham began to move. The distance be.
tween the two places is 1850 miles;
from which it appears that the shock
travelled through the rocks underlying
Europe at the rate Of nearly Ill miles a
minute.
The conclusion that it was the Gre.
clan earthquake which set the Birming.
ham pendulum trembling would not,
perhaps, be so readily accepted if il
were not known that many similar in.
stances are on record of the conveyance
of earthquake shocks through the crust
Of the earth to distances of hundreds
and even thousands of miles from theil
points of origin. The California earth
quake of February %, 1892, was re
corded as having been felt at the Are
quipa Observatory in Peru, the time
occupied by the shock in traversins
4,500 miles being two hours and thirty
eight minutes. Its velocity was littl.
less than q! miles minute.

THE EIGHTEENTH OHIO.
The District Which Has Nominated Coxey
FOR Represen a,ive in Congress.

The Eighteeolh Ohio district, in
which COMMONWEALTH Coxey has been
nominated for Congress by the Popu-
lists, consists Of the three counties OF
Stark, Mahoning and Colunbiana. It
ls in the northeastern part of the State,
north Of the point where the Ohio
River flows in from Pennsylvania. 1t
includes Canton, the home of Governor
Neutrality-suspicious., the home of Coxey,
and Youngstown, which gave Roaring
Bill Brown to the politics of the United
States. At the election of 1892, the
Democratic vote of the district was
22,eoo; Republican, 81, 300; Prohibition,
1850, and Populist, 1900. Coxey's
nomination was unanimous, and be is
expected to cut heavily into the vote
of the regular parties, especially on the
"good roads' issue, which is an impor-
tant one in that section of Ohio-not
good roads for pedestrians seeking the
Capitol steps in Washington, but for
farmers desiring to transport produce
to town, and not enjoyingfacilities ior
that purpose. ...
The Eighteenth Ohio district has al
ways been close one. politically, and
Major Mckinley was the chief depend
ence Of the Republicans on account of
his strong personal popularity. He
represented it for seven terms. In the
State election of 1888 the Populists
polled 17S votes in Mahoning County,
713 in Stark. and 336 in Columbiana,
total of 1882, the Republicans carry
ing all three counties. It is not serious
ly supposed by any one that Coxey, or
"the General" as he is sometimes
called in that part of Ohio, will obtain
any overwhelming number of votes in
this district, but he is pretty certain to
exceed the vote given the Prohibition
ist candidate.
The recent exploits of Coxey and his
immediate followers, it is believed in
many quarters, will exercise sinister
effect upon the agitation for good roads,
which has been going on actively. The
present representative of the Eigh-
teenth Ohio district is DR.. Ikirt, ply
sician and Democrat, at one time an
editor, and an unsuccessful opponent
of Major McKinley's in 1888.

Women Who Make the Best OF Wives.

Probably there is no one old enough
to be interested In the question, what
women make the best wives?" who has
not some personal ideas on the subject;
but whatever our ideas oa any topic
may be, it is always interesting to
know the opinions of other people
especially if they are "brainy"-on the
same matter.
In Denaorest's Fanaily Magazine for
June the vital question about good
wives is discussed by Susan B. An
thony, Clara Louise Kellogg, Mrs. Bal
lington Booth, Mrs. A. M. Palmer,
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Ellen Battelle
Dietrich, and others, all qualified by
experience or judIcious observation to
give opinions worthy Of careful atten-
ton. Equally interesting is an article
on How News is Gathered; after read
ing it one begins to appreciate what a
marvel the modern newspaper really
is, and to estimate at their true value
the enterprise, energy and forethought
that make it possible for US to learn of
the previous days doings of the whole
world. The Road to Fame or Fortune
gives some especially interesting in-
formation about how to become sue
cessful professional women; the stories
are excellent. The Summer Gaze of
House Plants furnishes important hints
for those interested in Horticulture; Ant
Stories and the Puzzles will afford
amusements for the children ; all the
numerous departments are overfowing
with valuable and interesting inform
alton; while the fine illustrations count
up into the hundreds. Every issue ot
Demorest's Magazine is replete With
good things, and is published for So q

"Look at that man, who looks as
though he never did days work in
his life; regular fakir, charlatan and
mountebank, dressed in a ridiculous
costume for public exhibition at ten
cents admission. And the other man,
who claims to be working in the in
terests of the laboring classes. A
man of wealth, who owns stock farm
and we'll up in the necessaries of life;
man who has received contributions,
according to his own admission, and
never made an accounting for the ex-
penditure ofa single cent"
These are they who, self:appointed
saviors of the people, call themselves
the Common veal of Christ, ride horses
while their disciples tramp, and put up
at hotels after dumping the people on
pestilential ground! Is there an hon.
est working man or woman who be-
lieves in such burlesque on Christi
anity and liberty? Is not Hugh O'Don-
nell right in denouDcing such a sense
less proceeding as utterly repugnant
to wage-earners, however impoverished
by hard times? What can be gained
except a possible epidemic of some
dread disease? This is no time of year
to trifle with the climate of Washing

that 10 the whole District of Columbia
there is not the faintest suggestion of a
hospital for contagious diseases. Women

such a hospital, have warned the au-
thorities against a wicked delay that
may now lead to the worst result.

them be given hearing before spe-
cial committee if necessary, and then
let them so home. They Go not rep

Who Are the People?
[Kate Fields Washington. !

If am to be ruled by despotism, I
much prefer the despotism of one man
born in the purple with the conscience
of Inherited power and responsibility,
to the despotism of irresponsible dem
agogues who depend upon turbulence
and opposition to statu quo for their
notoriety and living. It is very fine
to talk about representing the peo-
pie. It is about time to ask who repre-
sent the people and who are the people.
Once three tailors of Tooley Street is
sued q proclamation as ''NVe, the peo-
pie of England" Since that day there
has been no such unwarranted DEM
onstration as tat OF Messrs. Coxey
and Browne who marched into Wash
ington after being warned against
coming by the President of the United
States elected by the people, and at
tempt to take possession of the Capitol
grounds despite of law to the contrary
made by a Congress also elected by the
people. -...--. ..
If these two men at the head Of few
hundred followers fast dwindling iu
numbers, dare to call themselves the
Commonweal of the people and insult
Congress as Browne has done by call
ing the latter the commonweal of the
robbers of the people, why may not l.,
at the head Of another brigade, walk
into Washington and prate with equal
truth about representing the people,
no matter how mad my demands on
Congress? Messrs. Coxey and Browne
repudiate all other armies Of unem-
ployed en- route to the Capitol, yet
every one Of these "armies" claims to
represent the people, and looks upon
Congress as the arch enemy of the
! Nation. A nice spectacle, surely. That
Congressmen should defend men whose
acts, if multiplied, can only lead to
anarchy, shows to what pass the
illiterate suffrage of aliens has brought
