WASHINGTON, Nov. Especial Agent

whose sensational discovery of $4,000
worth of fraudulent Creek Indian war
rants was announced last week,
reached here yesterday. He had q
conference with Acting Secretary of

verbal report Of his Investigations.
This was contirmatory Of the published
statement showing that that amount
OF fraudulent warrants on the St.
Louis sub-treasury had been issued.
but that the government would lose
nothing by the transaction. The
losers are outside parties who
purchased the warrants on spec
ulation. One Of these discounters,
acting in good faith, bought $780,
600 worth of these warrants, paying
90 cents on the dollar, The remaining
100000 is understood to be confined to
q few parties. The United States dis
trict attorney has the case in his hands
now and it is probable that indict-
ments will soon follow. The investi.
cation developed the existence Of q
conspiracy within and without the
tribe to float these warrants A mum.

the tribes are charged with the offense,
as well as several employees, with the
assistance of outside parties, not re.

work within the Creek nation was
necessary to complete the scheme.

Senator Hanna May, or May Not, BE H.
dor.ed BY Votes
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. .. -Indicatiors
to-day point to the probable re-elec
ton Of Gov. Bushnell by small plu-
rality, but the democrats claim they
will elect their legislative ticket in
Hamilton county, thereby securing
majority in the general assembly and
making 1t certain that early in January
. democrat will be chosen to fill the
seat in the United States senate now
occupied by Hanna The contest is SO
close, however, over both the governor
ship and the Legislature that very slight
changes in few locations within the
next few hours may materially affect
the general result For instance, the be-
lief that Bushnell will pull through
rests on the assumption that he will
carry Hamilton county. Should that
county fail to give majority he would
almost certainly go down with Hanna.
Again, should the unexpected happen
and the Cox Legislative ticket win in
Hamilton the general assembly will
be republican and Hanna will 20 back
to the senate.
1t is not strange that Hanna and tho
republican managers generally await
the outcome with feverish anxiety
which they do not attempt to conceal
The solitary feature Of the situation
calculated to afford them encour-
agement is the promise that q large
vote will be cast They reason log
ically enough that the larger the
vote the larger is likely to be Bush
nell's plurality, and they believe II
Bushnell should win by as much as
10000 or $4,000 plurality he would pull
through the legislative ticket in
