Topeka, Kan, June 12.-The legisla-
tive Doodle and bribery investigating
committee wound up its business today
and adjourned. Majority and minority
reports were submitted to Governor
Leedy. The majority report is signed
by Householder. Cooke and Outcalt,
Populist members. and the minority by
Grimes, Republican. The majority re-
port charges wholesale corruption on
the part of a eil-organized corpora
ton lobby and certain pembers of the
legislature during the recent session;
declares that the win of the people had
been thwarted by the vote-selling
process; recommends the passage of an
anti-lobby law, and requests the gov
ernor to call a special session of the
legislature so that some acts may be
passed regulating corporations.
Representative Grimes, in his minor
ity report. intimates that there was not
so much boodling done during the
legislature as there was perjury on the
witness stand before the committee.
He says that members of one faction of
the Populist party perjured themselves
in order to smirch the members of an
other faction. The names of legislators
implicated are omitted by both reports.

sTOUCH's REPORT.
Details of he-Troubles on the Tongue
River Reservation.


River Reservation.
Washington. June 12-The Indian
Office has received from Captain
Stouch, the agent of the Tongue river
reservation a detailed report of the
recent trouble at the post resulting
from the arrest of the Indian Stanley
for the murder of Settler Hoover. The
report was supplemented by a tele
gram received this morning, stating
that Yellow Hair and sam Crow, ac-
completes of Stanley, had been ar
rested and delivered to the civil au-
thorities. He adds that the Indians
are now quiet at their homes.
Captain StOuch's report indicates
that the trouble was largely caused by
the conflict between the state and civil
authorities and the federal officials.
While not a shot was fired. there was
fear at one time that trouble would be
precipitated if the sheriff and his posse
were allowed to take the murderer.
Captain Stouch declined TO give him
up in response to the demands of the
sheriff and succeeded in avoiding a
possible conflict. The young brave who
was accused of the murder had de-
clined to surrender and sent word TO
the agency that he would fight at 3
O'Clock. After the Indian custom he
dressed himself in war dress and took
station on the hill near the agency
buildings, sending in his challenges.
Captain Stouch called the head men
together and told them that he would
not allow the duel, but that they must
compel the brave to surrender. A
large number of Indians had gathered
and in the opinion of the agent it was
possible that a fight might incite them
to take a hand. Several days after
ward Stanley submitted TO arrest and
was locked uD in the reservation JAIL
1t was then that the sheriff demanded
his custody and threatened to have
Captain StOuch arrested for interfer-
ence. The Indian was finally turned
over to the sheriff and taken TO Miles
City Captain Stouch concludes his re-
port with the recommendation that
two troops of cavalry be stationed at
the agency as the settlers are in a dis
turbed state and the presence of the
soldiers would tend to restore con-
fidp0ca

Berlin, June 12.-Since the arrival
here of Admiral Tirpitz, chief of the
navy DEPARTMENT, Emperor Williams
plans to increase the strength of the
German navy have been taken up in
earnest Admiral Tirpitz is recognized
to be the boldest and most energetic
man in the navy. He is popularity
known as the Naval Moltke, and his
ideas and aims respecting the further
development and reorganization of the
navy are in thorough accord with those
of Emperor William, who hopes Adj
miral Tirpitz will succeed where Ad-
miral Won Holman failed, inducing the
reichstag to adopt big naval credits.
The emperor intends to have ten big
ironclads and 16 cruisers built by 1900.
Considerable comment has been
aroused by the fact thattthe emperor
has ordered the German ship building
yard to build the very cruisers which
have been rejected by the reichstag.
Admiral Tirpitz is now making tour
of inspection of the naval yards of
Kiel, Wilhelmshaven, Stettin, Elbing
and Dantzig.
On his return he will frame a naval
bill, in which the necessity of putting
the German navy on an equal footing
with the navieS of France and Russia
will be forcibly stated.
Great amazement has been caused
by the fact that the emperor, in a
cabinet order, has dissolved the ma
tional defense commission. an i'm
portant military body created so years
ago by his grandfather and of which
Field Marshal Won Moltke was the
head until his death. He was succeeded
by Prince Albrecht of Prussia. His
majesty's motive was supposed TO be
to get rid OF the irksome control Of
his plans for the new Notifications or
his alterations of the existing ones,
which required. until recently, the de-
cislon of the commission.
At musical soiree at the palace of
Potsdam on Friday. all the guests APP
peared in the uniform or in the court
costume of 1897. the year of the birth of
the Emperor William I. in honor of
whose betrothal 20 years ago, the fete
was given.
A new wedding march, the words and
music of which were by the emperor,
was given. and chorus of children
from the cathedral took part in it.
1t is now said that Emperor William
himself desires to reform the secret pc
litical police and change the system of
intercourse between the ca binet min
listers and the press This may be due
to the fact that the revelations OF the
Won Tausch trial are still being busily
discussed. and the national liberals
have decided to question the govern
ment in the diet on the steps which it
is intended to take to improve the po-
lice system. II also appears that Won
Tausch is not yet out of danger. II is
fairly certain that he will be tried for
treason. respecting his report in the
utterances about the emperors health.
Emperor William has had an iron
cottage erected in the garden of he
garrison hospital at Heligoland. which
he will inhabit during his stay on that
island The building is 80 yards long
and 10 yards wide and consists of a
study, bed chamber, bath rooms and
servants room. There is small closed
veranda outside.

REPUBLICANS CAUCUS.
Half a Dozen Different Sugar Propo-
sitions Are Considered.

Washington. June 12-The Republican
senators were in caucus for two hours
today, and devoted the entire time 70
an effort to agree upon a course of ac-
ton to be pursued with regard to the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty in eonnec-
/ ton with the sugar schedule of the tar
if bill. The meeting of the senate at
u o'clock forced an adjournment be-
fore there was time to reach a cOnclu-
sion. and the caucus dispersed to meet
again at 4:50 in the afternoon.
| There were half a dozen different
propositions submitted to the caucus,
the principal of which were the follow
ing:
By Senator Frye, to leave it abso-
lutely TO the president to say what
shall be done with the treaty, and pro-
viding against any interference with
the provisions for the treaty pending
any action he may take
By Senator Allison, proposition very
much in the same line as Senator
Frye's. but intimating more clearly to
the president the opinion of congress
that the treaty should be modified.
BY Senator Perkins. provision Civ
ing notice that unless something more
is done within a year to continue the
treaty in force. it shall be abrogated.
BY Senator Nelson, to abrogate the
treaty absolutely after one years no.
tice, and giving the notice as a proviso
in the sugar schedule.
The principal feature of the afternoon
caucus was a proposition made by Sen
ator Spooner for the purpose of coun-
teracfing the effect of the large i'm
portations of sugar which have been
made during the past few months. in
view of the prospect of the increase
provided for in the tariff bill now I'M
der consideration.
This proposition, as outlined by Mr..
Spooner, contemplates continuing in
specific form the equivalent of the pres
