CHARGES FALL FLAT.

The Rev MT Mason and Editor PId- dock Placed in e Bad Light-Ex- Governor Bulkeley ftefuses to He Brought Into the ScrRpe. HARTFORD. June 17.-Rev J. H. Mason of New Haven and Rev c. A. Piddock. editor of the Christian Secretary of Hart ford appeared before the senate commit tee this morning to substantiate charges of bribery made against the senators in connection with the anti-pool bill. About fifty prominent Baptists were present.
 The hearing began at 11:45. Senator Palmer read the resolution appointing the investigating committee.
 Senator Webster sad that the charges were very serious and that the committee would cooperate with the gentlemen in their efforts to get at the facts. The inves- tigation will be confined to an inquiry into the charges already made.
 "Am to be witness or defendant?' asked MT Mason.
 "A witness" said Senator Webster. The oath was then administered and Mir | Mason was asked to tell any facts he knew | in con nection with the charges. He asked the privilege of reading an address, but Senator Webster said statement of facts was what was wanted and denied the re- | quest Senator Webster then asked if Rev 1 MT Mason had any personal kno wledge l that any senator had been guilty of bri- bery.
 After a long pause the witness replied: ''I have not"
 Asked if he had any information from other sources MT Mason said he had heard many reports of bribery. but had no direct information He was asked to give names but declined. but implicated certain sena tors. He afterwards asked to be allowed to take back any specific statements that he had made. !
 He again tried to work in his address but it was ruled out by Senator Webster and he was pinned down to facts. He sait that Representative Hall of Williugton haC spoken of bribery on the floor of the hous' in connection with the railroad committee
 After considerable questioning NJ Mason said: "I have no evidence O corruption or bribery to offer this commit tee"
 Rev Mir Paddock then took the stand ant Webster ruled out. He said tha he had no personal knowledge of bribery He fired many questions at the com mittee but was held down to facts ant had practically no information to impart.
 Rev Mir Mason said that if the commit
 
 tee would wait few days, until Thursday , he would produce witnesses to prove tn , charges.
 Asked for names he mentioned Ex-G over , nor Waller. When questioned he said he di not know whether ex- Governor Waller ha any information bearing on the matter o
 not. Then he mentioned the name of eN r Governor Bulkeley. There was considerable excitement whe ex-Governor Bulkeley. who was in tn , room. bobbed up and. said, after bein sworn:
 You will Lot have to wa
 until Thursday for me. have no know ledge of corruption or bribery in conne'
 tion with the senate and consider the pres en tbody as honorable as any that ever sa
 in Connecticut" At tbis point the hearing was adjournt until o'clock. when an executive sesslo was hold.

BEEF IS SCARCE.

Western Supply of Best Quality
 Affected by the R ecent Dry Weather.
 The wholesale beef dealers are unable to get scarcely any first grade beef. In the western markets from which most of the eastern shipments come there Is absolutely no first quality beef to be had The scarcity is said to be due to the arid condi. tion of the western farms.
 Every eastern city of any size is affected. ORe of the wholesale dealers said: There is no use in denying that we are in had way for good beef, it being simply impos- sible to get it at any price. Orders that We sent in more two months ago have not as yet been filled and the probabilities are that it will be a long time before they will receive attention. We have all the second grade beef We want. and could no doubt keep our stock of that we'll up. but there Is possibility that We may be compelled to cut our orders even on that
 The representatives of the Armour. Swift and Cudahy beef companies all say that there is no first class beef 10 be had in the western markets, owing to the dry spell and storms and feed shortage which resulted in ths death of thousands of heads of cattle'
