Full Particulars Regarding the
Breezy Affair.
THE FACTS IMPAIR
TALLY PRESENTED.
Without Bias, We Offer Just What
Passed Between the Re-
publican Leaders.

The comment and discussion occa-
stoned by the resignation of Secretary of
the Commonwealth Frank Reeder and
Deputy Attorney General John p. FL
kin, from the cabinet OF Governor Hast
ings has become state wide. In many
instances there is a misapprehension
Of the whole affair Those opposed to
the principles of the Republican party
and the success of that organization,
have in many cases taken advantage Of
the opportunity to distort facts and
shade truths, while ultra factionalists
have sometimes been biased in their
Judgment. We therefore deem II but
fair to all who are involved In the
talked Of bond" or agreement" which
it Is alleged was given to indemnify the
state treasurer from losses If any were
incurred for advances made to extra
employees engaged during the recent
session of tho legislature, that all the
facts in the case be impartially and
without higs presented to our readers.
II is due each individual concerned,
each individuals friend, as well as the
Republican party, that the public
should have a clear and comprehensive
understanding of the whole proceeding.
And to bc certain that each reader may
be left to draw his own conclusion and
make his own deductions, and render
intelligent judgment in the premises,
instead of giving "A brief resume of the
matter as we might personally view it.
we, in fairness to all parties involved,
prefer to present the notes exchanged
between those to whom public atten-
tion has been directed, believing that
this means will more distinctly and un-
mistakably bring out the facts and lay
before the friends of each. and the pub
lie, the whole matter with impartiality,
thus doing full justice to Governor
Hastings, Attorney General McCor-
mick, General Frank Reeder and Cen
eral John =. Elkin, the last named be-
ing the head of the Republican or
ganzation OF the state. The whole
bond" or agreement" proceeding is
included in the following correspon-
dence.
GEN. REEDER'S RESIGNATION.
The first official act in the affair was
the request from Governor Hastings to
Secretary of the Commonwealth Frank
Reeder for the latter's resignation. The
resignation was presented, and later
the two met by appointment in Harris
burg. General Reeder asked the gov
ernor to assign reasons fop his removal.
They were given. among them being
the complaint that General Reeder had,
with others, placed his name on
bond" or agreement" which had as
it's purpose the indemnification of the
state treasurer for advances made to
extra employees engaged about the re-
cent legislature. General Reeder fully
explained his position and then retired.

BILL
Senator Clark, of Wyoming, Speaks
Favora5IY of the Torrey Measure.
AN HONORABLE DISCHARGE.
After Thirty-Three Years Mai, Grebe Ia
indicated Prohibition Petitions Pre-
sented In Congress 49, Soldiers
Homes In Good Condition.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-In speaking
OF the proposed legislation Senator
Clark, of Wyoming, said yesterday: 81
am one of the members of the commit
tee on the judiciary of the senate
which reported favorably the Torrey
bankruptcy bill as it was passed by
the house, with few amendments cal
culated to strengthen it. It's general
scope is quite different, l am glad to
say from the laws which have hereto
fore been in force in this country, and
the details of the subject are worked
out in manner which, l think will
protect it from just criticism which
has been made against prior laws.
One of the inherent difficulties in Sc
curing and maintaining national law
upon this subject is the fact that the
places of meeting of the United States
courts are few in number as compared
with the state courts, thus making the
administration of the law both incon-
venient and expensive. This difficulty
has been largely overcome in this
measure"
Mai. Grebe's Honorable Discharge.
WASHINGTON, Feb, lO.-After 80 years
of waiting, Maj. William Grebe, of the
Fourth Missouri cavalry, receives his
honorable discharge by act of con-
gress, Maj. Grebe lives in Kansas. The
discharge papers were mailed to him
yesterday by Congressman Blue. The
case is a famous one. Maj Grebe,
Capt. Hanson and Capt. Rosen were Of
ficers in the same regiment, the Fourth
Missouri. They engaged in duel,
Grebe and Hanson as principal and
Rose as a second. For this they were
court-martialed and cashiered.
Prohibition Petitions.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The house
yesterday received big batch of petit
tions from temperance soqietios, pray
ing that the bill prohibiting the sale
of liquor at the capitol be passed and
that this legislation be followed at
this session by the passage of a bill
prohibiting the sale of liquor at all
government buildings in the United
States. A petition, which caused a
laugh in the senate, prayed that the
''white house saloon" be abolished. 1t
was presented by Senator Quay.
Soldiers Homes in Good Condition.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. The secretary
of war yesterday sent TO the house re-
port of the annual inspection Of the
several branches of the National Home
for Volunteer Soldiers. During the
year there were LII deaths out OF
membership of 91,G2S. The branches
are generally in good condition and
the grounds admirably kept. In no
particular, says the report, is deterio-
ration noted, and wherever any change
is being made it seems an improve

Tea Kettle Full of Money
Aztec Records.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1O.-Leonard
E. Clawson and Adam Beck, business
men, have made application for pat
ents on device which they think will
overcome the obstacles that have here
tofore resisted the efforts of inventors,
and are at work now on the construc-
ton of an airship, or flying machine,
embodying the principles they have
studied out. The machine now
in process of construction con-
sists essentially of four rods, each
20 feet long, parallel to each other,
working on ball bearings in a we'll
braced framework supporting the
motive power and steering apparatus
below. On each of these rods are a
series of double wings, constructed of
a steel wire framework over which silk
is stretched. These are so arranged
in relation to each other that, when
one wing is rising open, the other
is descending closed. Thus half the
wings are at every instant pressing
downward, while the other half are
rising, but pressing upward. Should
the motive power fail for any reason,
the entire wing surface instantly forms
parachute. A machine 90 feet long
and with bearing surface six feet
wide, it is believed, can be made to
raise weight of 600 pounds, one occu-
pant alone supplying the motive power.
A Virginia Resort Being Destroyed.
RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 10.-Cobb's is
land, a noted summer resort and life
saving station, six miles off the Yir-
ginia coast, is being slowly but surely
annihilated by the ocean. High tides
recently submerged the island and
washed nearly all the buildings into
the surf. The hotel, church and a
number of cottages have been de-
stroyed and the life saving station and
q few cottages are all that is left.
Tea Kettle Full Of Money.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 1O.-Henry
Weaver, of McGrawsville, reports that
recently Eliza Webb, fortune-teller,
revealed to him that a treasure was
hidden on his farm. A few days ago,
while hauling fodder, his wagon struck
a gate post and it broke down. While
replacing the post he uncovered tea
kettle containing $1,71O in coin, of
which 81, 900 was in gold. The fortune
teller demanded $3.50 for her service.
He gave her $50.
Aztec Records.
COLUMBUS, o., Feb 1O.-Prof. Warren
X. Moorehead, archeologist, Ohio uni
versity, after careful study, has decd
ed that the birch bark records found
incased in box made of split logs,
coated with some waXy substance,
near Fairfield, Ia, September ?, are
Aztec records of great interest to anti
quarians. These records were discov-
cred by j, I, Griffith while digging a
trench for a water main.

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

The Senate and House Meet in olnt Session
aud Mckinley and Hobart Are Declared
Elected.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Among the
memorials presented in the senate in
favor of the ratification of the arbitra-
tion treaty were the joint resolutions
of the general court of the common
wealth of Massachusetts,. Notice was
given by Mr., Chandler of his intention
to address the senate next Monday on
the subject of bimetallism. House bill
extending the time for complying with
the requirements of the act FORGETTING
railroad lands was reported and passed.
On motion of Mr.. Tillman the bill In
troduced by him in reference to the
liquor traffic in states was taken up.
The Nicaragua canal bill was with
drawn by Mr.. Morgan who gave notice
that he would introduce 1t at the extra
session of congress and press it to a
final vote. The senators then went to
the hall of representatives to count
the electoral vote.
In the house to-day after routine
business had been disposed of Mr..
Hainer presented the fortifcation APP
preparations bill and Mr.. Loud the post
office bill.
The members of the senate, headed
by Sergeant-at-Arms Bright and AS
sistant Layton, appeared at the main
door on the north side few minutes to
one and were announced by Door
keeper Glenn. At one minute to one
o'clock Vice President Stevenson called
the joint convention to order, Speaker
Reed sitting at his left. At 1850 the
official count was announced as fol-
lows: For president of the United
States-William Mckinley, 271; Will
liam Bryan, 176. For vice president Of
the United States-Garrett A. Hobart,
2T1; Arthur Sewall, 149; Thomas E.
Watson, u.
The vice president thereupon de-
clared William Mckinley and Garrett
A. Hobart, respectively, elected presi-
dent and vice president of the United
States. A burst Of handclapping fol-
lowed this announcement and the
great audience quietly dispersed.
