BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
The Fact that Direct Offer Of Money Was
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
inc, but when he arrived was compelled
to wait outside until the committee
called him'in.
Major Butrz asked that he be permit
ted to be'presentand hear the other wit
nessss and cross. examine them, but be
was told that the committee was inves-
tigating the case behind closed doors.
Major Butlz then reduced his de-
mand to writing, and through bis
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 1880, but declined to make
any statement beyond saying that the
committee had requested him to say
no, hing to anybody. Senator Kyle
was the next witness.
When the bribery committee shortly
after O'Clock took recess until Up. NJ.
Senator Gray, speaking for the COM
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 a direct offer
Of money was made has been proved
by one witness at least, according to
J CQS vi luC Nh2Al lbesd va eA1S
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 be would in
duce his father to vote against the
pending tariff.
Mr.. Kyle was on the stand longer
than any one else, but it was 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 hin
money for his vote, saying that hs
could have SIS, 900, and made an ofel
of $4,000 down.

Waited Twenty Years for Revesge In Kind.
TAtlanta Constitution

MONTGOMERY, ALA, May 19-
Twenty years ago in Western Ken
lucky young man named Terrell fell
in love with a pretty blue-eyed girl
and they engaged to marry. The day
was set, but when it arrived the pretty
girl, without notice, Tilted her af6anced
and married:a man ma med Lockhart.
Afterward they moved to Alabama,
where Lockhart died. A few weeks
ago Terrell, who had never married,
met his ex-sweetheart, now a widow,
in Autauga County. He renewed pro-
testations of affection and the day for
the marriage was set again, and the
bride fixed for it. Last Monday was the
day selected. Terrell bought his license
and went to his room to make his
bridal toilet. He has never been seen
since and the woman came here to-day
to look for him. 1t is concluded be
was playing for even.

Women Who Make tho 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 Oh 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 Demrests Fanai2y Magazine for
June the vital question about good
wives is discussed by Susan B. An
thony, Glars 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 overhowing
with valuable and interesting inform
alton; while the fine illustrations count
up into the hundreds. Every issue of
Demorest's Magazine is replete with
good things, and is published for 81 a
year by W. Jennings Demorest, Il
East 14th st., New York.

Rapidity Of Ea rthquake 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 phenomena 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 80 connected with
rotating mirror that tilt of the ground
the apparatus stands on appears mag
nified 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 it
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 traversine
4,5OO miles being two hours and thirty
eight minutes. Its velocity was little
less than 281 miles minute.

The EIGHTEENTH OHIO,
The District Which Eas Nominated Coxey
for Represen atiye in Congress.

The Eighteeoth Ohio district, in
which COMMONWEALTH Coxey has been
nominated for Congress by the Poeu-
lists, consists of the three counties OF
Stark, Mahoning and Columbiana. It
IS 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
Mckinley ;Masillon, 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
q. 800; Republican, 1900; Prohibition,
1850, and Populist, 1900. Coxey's
nomination was unanimous, and he is
expected to cut heavily into the vote
of the regular parties, especially on the
"good roads" issue, which is an inpor-
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 enjoying.facilitie for
that purpose.
The Eighteenth Ohio district has al.
ways been q 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 1893 the Populists
polled ITS votes in Mahoning County,
71sin Stark, and sS6 in Columbiana,
total of 1882, the Republicans carry
ing all three counties. It is not serious
iy 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 ia
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 1883.

fused permission to speak on the Capitol
steps? That proved that this was will
full violation of the law, as Coxey and
bis lieutenants were aware Of all the
facts of the law"
Continuing bis appeal to the COM
mon sense of a jury made up OF work
ingmen who pay taxes and respect Or
ganized government, the District At
torney pointed to Browne and said:
"Look at that man, who looks as
though he never did days work in
his life; regular fakir, charlatan and
mountebank, dressed in 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;
q man who has received contributions,
according to his own admission, and
never made an accounting for the ez-
penditure of single cent"
These are they who, selfappointed
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 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 trifie with the climate of Washing.
ton, especially when it be remembered
that in the whole District of Columbia
there is not the faintest suggestion Of a
hospital for contagious diseases. Women
have pleaded, bave raised money for
such a hospital, have warned the au-
thorities against wicked delay that
may now lead to the worst result.
Let Messrs. Coxey and Browne 60 to
the Capitol as other lobbyists 60; let
them be given hearing before spe-
cial committee if necessary, and then
let them 80 home. They do not rep.
resent the people of this Republic, who
can settle their troubles at the polls
next autumn, and they have no right
to imperil the lives of two hundred and
fifty thousand law-abiding citizens,
who have no vote and who are at the
mercy therefore of all the cranks in
creation.
