Inc charges of bribery were made by
representative Otis and the resolution
In the house was adopted by ONLY "a
affirmative votes, a majority of a
quorum only. There are 100 members
and any measure requiring the ex-
pendlture of money requires 55 affirma-
tive votes, or majority of all. AS the
house committee can not employ a
stenographer or do anything else caus-
ing the expenditure of money, it is
unable to proceed. The senate. bv
Senator Burke voting with the
democrats, then adopted resolu-
ton to investigate the charges.
That body has SO members and is
tie politically. By Burke voting in the
affirmative, the resolution was adopt-
ed 10 to II. These resolutions were
offered in both bodies on the dav of
Senator Hanna's election. They were
offered before any ballots were taken
and were expected to cause Il dead
lock or pOstponement of the election.
1t is not denied that the house has
jurisdiction, but attorneys have told
the witnesses that the senate
has no jurisdiction and that
they need not reply to
their questions. The members of the
house investigating committee were
present on invitation Wednesday night
and they were requested to ask uucs-
tiOnS, but none of them took any part.
Judge Robertson, who has served with
distinction on the bench at Cincinnati,

and is prosecutor. He wore himself

to answer"
Chairman Burke, Senators Lang and
Finck did their best to draw out the
witnesses but to no avail. After the
four others took their turns, Senator
Garfield would close each examination
by asking: DO you decline to answer
questions because your attorneys says
this committee has no jurisdiction in
this case and has so advised vou?"
The reply was in the affirmative and
the witnesses were excused Each
witness was told that he was held un-
der service by the committee and
should report Thursday night at $50
or sooner if called for. Among the
cases city is that of Daniel Dalton,
who was subpenaed in 1856 to bring
forward tallySheetS before a leg
islative committee. Dalton re-
fused and was brought before the
house for contempt. Dalton was sub
poenaed to produce public records in
his custody, and the witnesses We'd
nesday night claim they are asked to
produce private property. AS the COM
mittee will make a partial report to
the senate Thursday lively time is
expected The committee will ask the
senate to punish the witnesses for con-
tempt and to give the Investigators
full authority.

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 2O.-Havana is
in tremendous excitement, caused by
the news of a formidable conspiracy
among the volunteers to overthrow
Gen. Blanco. The conspiracy was dis
covered Monday morning by the chief

co to leave the island, as they did Capt
Gen. Don Domingo Dulce in 1869.
A simultaneous assault was to be
made on the forts surrounding Havana,
especially on La Cabanna, and the
troops now stationed at the strategical
points of the city were to be overpow-
cred and compelled to surrender.
The success of the conspiracy was
nearly assured by the completely of
many officers of the army, the sympa-
thy of the Spanish regular infantry
and of the military police with the
volunteers and the rioters of the past
week.
Gen. Blanco summoned to his palace
all the colonies of the volunteers in
Havana. A stormy scene ensued.
Blanco threatened them with severe
punishment for the crime of treason.
1t is officially declared that "a spon-
taneous declaration of loyalty was
made by the volunteers to the gov

Edible oils

In Egypt and the Soudan, in India
and all through the east an enormous
trade is carried on in vegetable oils,
which take the place of our butter and
margarine products. One of the princi-
pal edible oils is obtained from the
ground nut, known in France as lara
chide OIL" Over 100000 hundred
weight of these nuts are annually i'm
ported into that country, for it's pro-
dnction. Belgium also takes vast guam
titles. Arachide oil is an excellent soap
maker, besides being an edible oil. and

compete well with it in this branch of
industry. In Europe alone there is
already very large consumption of il,
to be counted in tens of thousands of
