COLUMBUS, O.. April 23.-The leg
islative committee appointed to inves-
tlgate charges Of bribery has prepared
its report
The majority report finds in the judg-
ment of the committee that the evil
dence proves four facts:
That an attempt was made to bride
John c. Otis to vote for Marcus A.
Hanna for United States senator; that
Henry A. Boyce was the principal Of
fender in the commission of the crime:
that Maj. F. G. Rathbone, Maj. Charles
f. Dick and Marcus A. Hanna pro-
cured, aided and abetted Boyce to COM
NIT the crime; that III. H. Hollenbeck
aided Boyce.
An analysis of the evidence is gone
into.
Senator Garfield submitted the minor
ity report. There were two questions,
he said, really bearing upon the charges
made.
First: Was John c. Otis offered s., $50;
second, if any such offer was made,
was it made by M. A. Hanna, either
in person or by an agent, or, further,
by the knowledge or consent either d.
!, rectly or indirectly Of M A Hanna?
All testimony offered upon these
points was hearsay, except that of John
G. Otis and T. c. Campbell The con-
versations between Otis and Gen. Boyce,
as testified to by Otis, are given and
show that Boyce, as claimed, offered to
make it profitable to Otis to vote for
Hanna, but did not give him any
money. Otis turned Boyce over to his
attorney, T. G. Campbell.
The summing up of the minority re-
port is that the scheme was an effort
to entrap Mr.. Hanna or his friends in
some way which would prove disas-
trous to the validity Of his election as
senator and that the charge was not
true and the evidence totally failed to
prove it.

given commission Of major general
in the army which is to go to Cuba.
preparations for which will be active
ly made the middle of next week.
The troops sent to Cuba will consist
of 10000 regulars and 10000 militia.
This force will probably be landed at
Matanzas.
1t was on Gen. Lees advice that
SIMPSONS squadron sailed to blockade
Cuba. He told the war department
that one vessel would be sufficient to
close the port of Havana, while others
patrolled the island. He said that Spain
had no Warships in Cuban waters that
could not be easily overcome by our
vessels.
Gen. Lee telegraphed the war de-
partment advising that suitable uni
forms for the use of the soldiers in
Cuba be at once secured. He stated
that the Hghtest kind of clothing
should be secured, canvas shoes and
straw hats. He anticipates little trou-
bic in expelling the Spaniards from
Cuba.
While it is certain that he will be
rendered the position of major general.
he will go to Cuba if he has to go as
lieutenant of the Virginia volunteers.

Display Worth Going to See.

Seldom does a local druggist take the
trouble to devote his windows to dis
playing proprietary medicine, but the
fact that S. H. Reeves has one Of his
show windows completely filled with
Paine's celery compound in original
packages, accompanied by mammoth
cartons and handsomely Autographed
celery punches, proves the great merit
Of this popular preparation. No man.
woman or child can pass this busy
store without seeing the display.
In talking with Mr.. Reeves concern
ing his sales Of Paines celery COM
pound, he said: cit is the best seller I
ever saw. I have sold this spring a
great many bottles and the demand is
increasing daily. 1t seems as though
everybody was buying Paine's celery
compound The poor, the rich. the
banker, the clerk, the merchant, the
laboring man and ladies generally buy
this medicine, and I have yet to hear
of single person who has not been
pleased with the results. Everybody
praises it, and it seems to be a grand
tonic for those who are troubled with
the languid. tired feeling that so gen.
orally afflicts people during the spring
months"
Mr.. Reeves. continuing, said: 81 am
satisfied that the large advertising
being done in The G o b for Paine's
celery compound has been of great as
sistance in this section in increasing
the sales of this medicine. JudicIous
advertising always pays and Wells.
Richardson & Co.. the proprietors of
Paine's celery compound, certainly
know the papers that will give the best
returns from advertising.'
Mr.. Reeves has now in stock one of
the largest consignments of Paine's
Skinned
city. Take look at his window and
then step inside and buy bottle of
the compound. 1t is the one tonic on
the market whose reputation has been
established by years of use, and there
are many people in this place who will
take nothing else as their spring medl-
cine.

WASHINGTON, April 23.,Chairman
Dingley, of the ways and means COM
mittee, this afternoon introduced into
the house the war revenue measure
which the Republican members of the
ways and means committee have pre-
pared. 1t is the intention of Chairman
Dingley to press the bill on Monday,
and he hopes to have 1t through the
house before adjournment on Tues
day.
1t is probable that this programme
will meet with opposition from the
Democrats, who have not been con-
suited in it's proposition and who will
not have an opportunity to see it until
it is presented to the full committee
on Monday morning at 10 o'clock. They
are inclined to think that they have
been most unfairly treated. AS 1t is
distinctly war measure, in which
they are expected to acquiesce without
opposition, they believe they should
have been consulted in it's preparation
The Democrats have already decided
to offer an income tax amendment.
Chairman Dingley estimates that the
measure. as framed. will raise between
SEQ, 100000 and 100000. 900.
Tea and coffee, railroad tickets and
petroleum, all of which were considered
at different times as subjects for taxa
ton, are not touched in the bill.
The revenue to be derived Is dis
tributed as follows: Fermented Ii
quors, $35, 100000; tobacco. $4,000, 900;
cigars. 100000; tobacco licenses,
S5,0GO,000 stamp tax on documents,
kilograms, ETC., $50, 900, 900; tonnage tax,
$500, 900.
The amount to be raised by the
stamp tax on wines, mineral waters.
chewing gum, ETC., has not been ascer-
tanned.
The present tax on beer and fer
mented liquors is increased from 81 to
81 barrel but no rebate for unused
beer and destroyed stamps Is allowed.
The tax on tobacco and snuff is in
creased to lie a pound; upon cigars to
81 per 1000, weighing more than three
pounds per 1000 and 50 on cigars weigh
ing less than three pounds per 1000;

MADRID, April 23.-The story Of a
ministerial crisis is denied. and it is
understood that after agreeing to the
financial programme the cortes will adj
journ until May Is.
Although the patriotic demonstra-
lions continue in the provinces, public
order is not disturbed. Senior Moret,
the minister for the colonies, declares
it is impossible for telegraphic COM
munication with Cuba to be interrupt
ed, even if the Key West cable is cut
as three other cabless protected by the

office in order to command one of the
Spanish squadrops is without founda-

The Spanish feet In the Antilles will
be commanded by Admiral Mintorla,
the Spanish naval commander at Ha-

is to be commanded by Admiral Ger

A cable dispatch has been received

purchased was $1,000 tons, the price
paid being a very high one. The
United States had already 800 tons
there, and the extra supply will, the

more arrives.
Shipping companies will not sell any
coal at any price, as all they have will
be required for their steamers. c..Ie
