The Bribery Charges.

After the GAZETTE's report of the
Senatorial bribery charges closed yes
terday John S. Shriver, the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York
Mail and Express, was before the com
mittee. He was examined in regard to
dispatch which appeared in his paper
on May 10. in which he had stated with
some circumstantiality that an inter
view between certain United States
Senators and members of the sugar
trust held in parlor Of the Arlington
Hotel had been overheard by wire
manufacturer who occupied the adjon-
ing room. After acknowledging that
he had written the dispatch Mr.. Shriver
was asked the name of his authority,
and also the name of the wire manufac-
turer mentioned in his dispatch, but he
refused to give the name of either, say
ing he had obtained his information
from a Congressman.
After Mr.. Shriver was excused Mr..
Harry W. Walker, the Washington
correspondent of the St. Louis Post
Dispatch, was called and asked to sta te
where he had obtained the information
published by him in a dispatch in
which ne had stated that prominent
member Of the cabinet-and had init,
mated that the President hmself-had
confessed that the democratic party was
under obligations To the sugar trust. Mr..
Walker also confirmed Mr.. Shriver's
story about the occurrences at the Ar
lngton Hotel between members of the
sugar trust and certain United States
Senators, saying that he also had re-
ceived his information from a member
of the House. Like Mr.. Shriver, he
declined to give the name Of the Con-
gresham who had given him the in
formation.
The committee has sent the testimony
taken in the first part of its inquiry re-
lating to the attempted bribery ofSena-
tors Hunton and Kyle to the printer,
and expects to report to the Senate
within few days the result of its in
vestigation in this direction. 1t is
understood that the report will entirely
exonerate Senators Hunton and Kyle
in the matter.

The Virginia ELECTIONS

The municipal elections throughout
Virginia yesterday passed off quietly
There was little interest, save at Nor
folk, where sharp contest had been
waged, and where the prohibitionists
reform ticket triumphed over the
straight democratic organization by a
majority Of about 1900. AT precinct
in the Fourth ward where large col
ored vote is cast the polls were not
opened unit! two hours after sunrise.
The Judges appointed refusing TO act,
three others were sworn in, and the
polls opened. The reformers assumed
the responsibility Of opening another
poll across the street, appointing three
colored men, who were sworn in as
Judges by notary. They issued cir
cular stating that they had attempted
to open the building that had been Sc
lected by the authorities, but were
elected by order Of the superintendent
Of the ward
In the regular box the bulk Of the
democratic votes were cast, while the
prohibitionists cast in the other. The
latter had in each polling place double
tickets, one for the box, and dupli-
cate. which was handed with the voters
name on it to receiver on the pave
ment, who placed it in his pocket. 1t
is from the latter they base their vote,
having no judges inside the polling
places.
The successful ticket is composed as
follows Mayor, C. w. Petit; clerk Of
courts, Lawrence Register; city collec-
ter Luther W. White; city sergeant,
John E. Burke, of the Virginian Print
ing Company; Commonwealth attor-
ney Z. NJ. Baum; city attorney, 5. 5.
Lambeth, jr.; street inspector, c. NJ.
Cruiser; clerk of market, w. G.. Ashley;
keeper of almshouse, J. H. Morris:
keeper of cemeteries, NJ. J. Chapman;
scaler of weights and measures, 5. B.
Turner; physician to almshouse, DR.. II.
r. Dupuy.
The defeated democratic ticket was
headed for mayor by A. B. Cook, the
present incumbent.
In Richmond, Portsmouth, Peters
burg, and Danville, the democratic
ticket had no opposition.
An unusually large vote was polled
at Charlottesville. There was no regu
lar opposition ticket in the field.
A reform ticket was chosen at Basic
City over the regular democratic nomi-
nee by majority Of forty-four.
In the corporation election in Culpe-
per Charles NJ. Waite, democrat, was
elected mayor by majority of 81, over
c. b. Hood, republican,; with w. ].
Shotwell, for recorder.
Jones, democrat candidate for Mayor
of Roanoke, was elected by 10 majority
over Engleby, republican. The demo
Gratis lose the commemorative attorney
and commissioner of revenue. The re-
mainder of their ticket is elected by
from 600 to 500. Joness vote was only
25 behind O'Ferrall's last fall for Gov
ernor. The City Council is 10 demo
Gratis and republicans, a gain of for
the republicans.

bands OF striking miners OF about fifty
each are moving in the direction OF Do
lomite mines Gov. Jones has wired

The shaft house at the Strong Mine
at Victor, Col, was blown up by dyna-
mite this morning Twelve men are
down the shaft guarding the property
but no particulars of injuries have been
learned. After wrecking the shaft
house the men went over to the Port
land and the Independence mines,
which they captured, and placed under
guard all the men found there. They
took possession of all their arms. The
marauders went thence to the Anna
Lee. The deputies are approaching
the scene of trouble with great caution,
fearing an ambuscade or dynamite.

THE GAZETTE is making converts
even in New England. The Hartford
Couraat says: There's lot Of sober
thinking people who believe in the
whipping post. The fear Of physical
pain will keep men on their good be-
havior, when the prospect Of an easy
time in Jail, at public expense, is far
away from lettering them; it rather a.
tracts" If the Couraat would also
adopt some Of the GAzErTE's other
teachings, it would benefit its readers
amazingly The vast majority OF Grim
inals are infinitely more amenable to
the dread Of physical pain than to that
Of confinement in comfortable quarters
with good rations.

As THE democratic ticket here was
unopposed, the election yesterday was
devoid of excitement, if not of interest,
and, consequently, the vote polled was
very small. 1t was the same way in
nearly all the other cities OF the State.
In Norfolk, however, the mugwumps
united with the republicans and pro-
hibltionists, and defeated the regular
democratic ticket, though full vote
was cast. Such a result is not fnvora.

AS ANTICIPATED, the cucl1oos in the
U. S. House of Representatives rallied
in force yesterday, and, by their votes
maintained the civil service commission
in all its conspicuous hypocrisy. As
those in the Senate had confirmed Tay-
lor the day before, the President must
have been highly gratifed when he
returned to hear of two such patent il
lustrations of the support his policy re-
ceives from his party in both branches
Of Congress.

HOUSE.

The House refused to consider two
or three private bills by unanimous
consent and went into committee of
the whole to consider bills on the pri-
vate calendar.
Mr.. Springer gave notice that tomor-
row he would call up the Brawley bill
involving the repeal of the ten per cent.
bank tax.
The first bill considered was one for
the relief of Thomas B. Reed. an officer
in the Pennsylvania troops during the
war. 1t was laid aside with favorable
report. The next was resolution re-
ported from the committee on war
claims consolidating 81 private bills
and referring them in bulk to the
court of claims for inquiry. To this
Mr. Burrows, made the point Of order
that such proceeding was unauthoriz-
ed by the rules.

suppress strikers riots in his State yes

been the same, even if he had done
otherwise. Violent strikers, if at all

at once at the appearance of those of
the United States. Why then should
the former be maintained?

. WASHINGTON, May 10. - It. is re-
ported today in inner diplomatic circles
that another uprising in Cuba is im-
hlhent. For over two weeks lengthy
cable dispatches in cipher have passed
between the Spanish minister to the
United States, Senior de Murugua, and
Madrid, and representative of one of
the leading detective agencies of the
country has been frequent visitor to
the residence occupied by the legation.
1t is understood that the agency in
question has had It's operators at work
for several months in New York, Phila-
delphla, Chicago and other cities, and
that enough facts have been gathered
to justify the belief that the Cubans are
preparing for another revolt against
Spanish rule, and that they are receiv-
ing material assistance in the form of
money and munitions of war, as we'll as
in the shape of advice and suggestions,
from their countrymen in the United
States. In the three cities named secret
meetings of Cubans are SAID to have
been Of nightly occurrence for some
months past, and several eXlles have
taken part i'll them. Whether or not an
expedition from this country is planned
or not is unknown.
1t is certain, however, that neither
the Spanish minister nor Senior Segra.
rio, first secretary and charge d'atfaires,
has considered it necessary to make
any representations Oh the subject to
Secretary Gresham.
