Corruption In Chicago.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 5.-In the
State Senate to-day Senator Johnson offered
a decidedly sensational resolution. 1t charges
that corruption exists in every department
in the city of Chicago and Cook county.
1t provides for joint committee of three
from the Senate and four from the House
to have full power to investigate the whole
city and county machinery and report it's
findings to the General Assembly. 1t
charges that the Chicago Council has
bartered valuable franchises to individuals
and corpora tons without the least regard
to the public welfare, and that the police
department is corrupt and grants immuni-
ties to criminals and shields the unlawful
element The resolution is sweeping in its
charges and alleges crookedness in all
quarters.

is going on, sent in singing message to-
day in which he says: THE Legislature
has practically been in session sixty days,
in which time the Constitution contem-
plates that the work of the session may
be accomplished, and the fact that no meas
ures of urgency or general Importance have
been enacted into laws compels me to call
attention anew to those of larger conse-
quence and the imperative duty which con-
fronts you in reference to Them The
grades of crime in State, involving
moral turpitude, are increasing and enact
mentS which encourages the miScarriageS of
Justice are permitted to remain unchanged
against a just demand approaching popular
revolt Conspiracies against the freedom of
trade, entrenched behind organized capital,
and impeied by avarice and greed dominate
our commerce, and every year take deeper
and more dangerous root Continuing the
Governor advised the enactment of COM
prehensive antitrust law, enactment of
laws increasing assessment of railroad
property at it's true value laws increasing
rate of taxation of railroad insurance, tel

Blacks story was a thrilling one. 1t
created a sensation among, the witnesses
and other defendants. Black said: "Sev-

kerosene, which burned brightly as they
approached the house. The leader of the
crowd knocked at the door and asked for
Worley Worleys mother came to the
door and asked what we wanted with
Henry. We told her that we were going

him. and that there was mot any use re-

that we intended to take him alive or
dead
"Worey was terribly scared and begged
for mercy; said he was not guilty of re-

gone back on him they could take h.m

He never resisted us and when we
told him to get on a horse, and he did it.
Worley was tied with his hands beh nd
him and rode in the middle of the crowd
of men on horseback. He never spoke.

agricultural commodities or whether the
ministry proposed to cooperate with the
powers with a view of establishing an

tice shall be suppressed.
Sir William Harcourt said that he was
in entire sympathy with the
desire to suppress such gam
bling, but was afraid that the
point had hardly been arrived al where
an International agreement would be de-
sirable. The government, he said, had not
received any communications on the sub
ject from other countries.
II. Gardner, president of the board of
agriculture, said the fact that contagious
pleuro-pneumonia had been found among
cattle landed at Antwerp from two Ca

cattle.

regarding the copyright act had been
stopped by the death of Sir John Thomp-
son, and that at the present time he was
unable to present statement in re-
