Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
ALBANY, n. Y, March 6.-The report of
the majority of the special Senate COM
| nittee to investigate Troy elections is
bitter attack on United States Senator
| Murphy. After alleging that repeating,
riot, assault, and even murder have been
| common II says .-... 49,.
''It is the exemplified work of a des-
perate and hitherto resistless political ma
chine, SO adjusted, organized and run rs to
| enable individuals in the name of the
Democratic party and in defiance of law,
| to overthrow government and thwart the
| rights of suffrage. This machine is an
organization composed of professional
politicians, having recognized, acknowl-
! through Democratic election officers and
other outlaws supported by a police
department and police force obedient to
its dictation. This organization. known
as the Murphy Machine approves re-
wards and protects its tools and thus per-
petuates its power The process known as
repeating" is accomplished by persons
not entitled to vote, going through the
city singly or in bands, voting In the
various districts on the names of
legally registered voters. A sergeant
of police, an ex-president of the Com
mon Council, a member of the detec-
tive force are samples of the official posi-.
tons held by those who escorted and
guarded those criminals in the commits
sion OF their crimes. In rare instances
those aiding the Fepeaters claimed TO be
Republicans, but they are what is known
as Murphy Republicans. class much
distrusted in Troy us the Murphy Demo-
Gratis themselves. They are on the
board of police commissioners, on
the police force and in other stations, and
abject submission to Murphy is the appar-
eni price of their appointment The chief
value lies in their pretended utilization
with the Republican party, for Democrats
can be found in abundance to commit
crimes; the need is to find men who will
do vile service and at the same time by pro-
Tossing Republicanism place part of the
odiums upon the Republican party.
Under this machine system so de-
graded and rotten has been created and
fostered that no person who has not
actually heard the testimony could believe
that a condition so appalling and corrupt
could exist in civilized and decent com'
munity."

WAsHINeToN, March 6.--Secretary of
State Gresham is about to instruct AM
bassador Bayard to urge upon Great
Britain an adjustment of the long-pending
trouble between Venezuela and British
Guiana and to suggest arbitration Of the
question. This action is in pursuance to a
recent resolution of Congress.
The result of Mr.. Bayard's appeal is
being watched with much interest, owing
to the reports from Venezuela that the
trouble has reached n critical stage and
that both sides are massing troops in the
disputed territory lying between them.
Mr. Bayard is well-cguipped for this
negotiation, as he was Secretary of state. in
1887, when the United States first made an
offer to Great Britain TO act as arbitrator.
The offer was courteously declined. At
the same time Venezuela broke off all
diplomatic relations with Great Britain
and these have not since been restored
Mr.. Blaine also sought to adjust the
trouble, as it was felt that British aggres-
sion on South American soil came danger
ously near an invasion of the Monroe
doctrine. Mr.. Blaines efforts also failed,
and the status has remained unchanged
until the recent reports of hostilities and
the determination of this government to
make a final effort toward concluding
negotiations.

The Whereabouts Of Anaie Moore stiiI n
Mystery and Her Reiatives Believe She
Was Bouily Dealt with.
II Is now believed that pretty Annie
Moore, the young girl who disappeared
from her home In North Brook, Pa,
about month ago, is dead, and her
relatives are of the opinion that she has
been foully dealt with.
A gentleman who is interested in the
search that is being made for the miss
ing girl was Ia Wilmington on Friday
looking for additional evidence Of her
visit to this city. When seen by q re-
porter the gentleman who, by the way,
is resident of North Brook, said that a
thorough search had been made for the
girl in this city, Philadelphia, New
York, Brooklyn Baltimore and other
places, and the last time she was seen,
as far as can be learned, was at East
Junction, in this city, on the day she
left her home.
When Miss Moore disappeared from
her home In North Brook she came di-
rect to Wilmington over the Whining.
ton g. Northern railroad. She was
noticed to leave the train at East juno
ton, but after that no one has any
knowledge of her movements. II is
there and that they left the place un-
tremendously together. The SUPPOSE
ton was at that time that the couple
had gone West for the purpose of be-
ing married, but this opinion was not
sustained, as no trace could be found Of
them in any of the Western centres.
Immediately after the young girl was
missed relatives came to this city Ind
made a search here. Nothing definite
could be learned and the search
was extended to other places. The re.
suit elsewhere was the same, and the
affair began to assume very mysteri-
Gus aspect.
Tho next step was the employment Of
detectives. There were five of them and
they went to work in Philadelphia,
Wilmington, Baltimore, New York,
Brooklyn, Washington, Chester and
other places, and up to the present time
not the slightest clue has been found
that will throw any light on the where
abouts of the young girl, and the people
of North Brook are almost unanimous
In the opinion that she has been MUIR

is able to say.
The only person who can be con-
nected with the girls disappearance is a
former employee of the Wilmington &
Northern Railroad Co., with whom II Is
said she had an acquaintance and whom
it is believed she met by appointment In
this city. This reliefis strengthened by
the fact of her leaving the train at East
Junction. But no one has been found
who saw her leave that place in com.
pany with man.
The Wilmington police know nothing
at all about this occurrence and have
not been able to throw any light on the
matter. The search will be continued
in all the important cities of the country
The North Brook man left Whining
ton Friday after having made fina
search for any clue that might exist
here. He was unsuccessful.
