Cincinnati, O., Jan. 21-The legis-
lative committee investigating the Otis
charges of bribery in the recent cleo
tion Of United States senator at Co.
lumbus held a session here tonight and
will continue it's sittings here tomor-
row. All members of the committee
were present, together with quite a
delegation from Columbus and others
from different parts Of the state. Three
members Of the house committee on the
Otis investigation were also present
Ruthan, Spellmyer and Kenney. Spell
myer and Kenney are Democrats, end
Ruthan, chairman of the house commit
ed against Hanna. The other two mem
bers Of the house ommittee-Boxwell
and Rankin, Of Fayetteville voted for
Hanna, were not present. The senate
committee, which is conducting the in
vestigatiOn, consists of two Republi-
cans, Burke and Garfield, and three
Democrats, Long, Fink and Robertson.
Senator Garfield is the only member Of
the committee who supported Hanna.
Senator Burke, the other Republican
member of the committee and it's chair
man, was the leader Of the McKisson
movement against Hanna for senator.
The committee came from Columbus
this afternoon to the home of Repre-
sentative Otis, in order to examine wit
nesses residing in this city. The in
vestigation was held in the assembly
room Of the Gibson house in the pres
ence OF quite large crowd Jared B.
Bliss and Charles B. Griffin, two of the
the recent contest, were among the Wis
itOrs, as were also Attorneys Sullivan.
Dougherty and Hull, in representing
Major Dick, H. H. Hollenbeck and
others. 1t is charged in the resolutions
adopted separately in both branches OF
the Ohio legislature that H. H. Boyce.
of New York, came to the Gibson house
in this city few days before the bal
loting for United States senator began
at Columbus and made a proposition of
bribery to Representative Otis. Boyce
stopped at the Gibson house.
OVER THE TELEPHONE.
The members of the committee and
others spent some time early in the
evening examining the telephone used
by BOyce and other scenes including the
apartments occupied by Boyce when he
was here. 1t is charged by members of
the committee that Boyce fled from this
city on Monday Jan. TO- and that he
cannot now be located, although the
committee has exhausted it's resources
in trying to secure his attendance as a
witness. The committee was given
quite telephone exhibition before it
assembled. The Great Southern Hotel

Vague hints have been given out from
, time to time about Ignatius Donnellys
new book, which is expected to be pub
lished within a few months, and it is
needless to say, that the tip from Mr..
Donnelly week or two ago that it
would be a continuation of his Baconian
Cryptogram theory, set the literary
world in some fever of expectation.
Mr.. Donnelly says the abuse which his
first book received at the hands of GER
tain critics was unmerited, but that it
will in no way deter him from issuing
another work on the same subject, in
which he will take even wider and more
startling grounds than he did in mis-
first book. He claims to have discovered
new rule governing the cipher.
In brief, he will claim that Bacon not
only wrote the Shakespeare plays and
sonnets, but that his facile pen was
probably responsible for the great Span
ish work, Don Quixote.' For this he
expects another castigation at the hands
CT the critics, but as he, believes he is
greater than the superficial writer's who
have been censuring him, Mr. Donnelly
says they will not worry him very
much.
Mr. Donnelly gave the Dispatch today
the first authentic outline of what the,
book will be, and when asked when the
work would be issued, he said, smil-
irgly:
We'll, l had expected to have it IN
the hands of the publishers by the end
of February, but there are other things
in life besides literature, and, as l have
incontinently tumbled into love with
very charming young woman, | find that
Sir Francis Bacon is not so attractive
as he was. All this, of course, breaks
into my time, and delays the book How
ever, | expect to have it in the hands
OF the publishers about the middle Of
March, and perhaps before
will you give the Dispatch a general
idea Of the forthcoming work?' was
asked of Mr.. Donnelly.
II had not intended to say much about
the new book until it was ready for pub
lication, for the reason that | feared
the public would think l was deceiving
myself inasmuch as some of the con-
clusons l have reached are very start
ling and extraordinary. For more than
a year past several newspaper publishers
have been talking to me about the pre-
priety of getting up an article concerning
hands Of the printer. 1t was suggested
that l give some extracts from the book
to satisfy the public mind that my claims
were founded on fact. But the Dispatch
has always treated me with courtesy and
fairness, hence l think may give you a
sketch Of it with propriety.
Il have about 600 pages of typewriter
copy ready for the printer, and have an-
other 100 pages, part of which are al
ready in rough form, and when these
are completed it will end the work I
can scarcely expect the public will ac-
cept unqualified my statements as 70

GENLAWTON's DIPLOMACY.

General II. V. Lawton TO whom the
government of Santiago and our East
ern Cuban territory has been consigned
has already shown that he is a sagacious
and diplomatic man.
The brusque manners and methods Of
shafter did not tend to harmonic our
newly acquired allies and the result was
that only a few weeks ago 1t appeared
that we had a knotty problem to deal
with in our relationship with the Cubans.
Garcia and his men were not unnatur-
ally Of the opinion that Santiago. once
captured. would be turned over TO the
Cubans for control and right at the or
set they were met with a disappointment
that they construed to be a repulse from
our soldiers.
General Lawton has, however. appar-
emily gained their confidence and
established new basis for fu-
tu-e contact that will enable us to
carry out our plans and work out for
them the best possible results.
We could scarcely turn the Island over
to the Cubans without an absolute know
ledge as TO how they would use tho
power lodged with them, and their adop-
ton OF our methods and plans of proceed
ure will tend all the more speedily TO Sc
cure to them the freedom for which
they have batued.
There IS little doubt that an intimate
acquaintance with our schemes of gov
eminent will appeal to the Cubans as
something superior 10 any IDEAS of gov
ornment that they might have. and as
Gomez has severed Garcia from the SAN
tago army there are hopeful indications
that General Lawtons diplomacy will do
the rest.

THAT DUNCAN CASE.

The case Of dispoiling Of the Confed-
crate graves at Bull Run has been the
subject Of severest censure by the intel
lieent press Of tho country, and when
II was thought that the crime mad been
fastened ON Duncan they AN agreed that
his crime was great and his punishment
should be severe.
We know nothing Of the complexion Of
the urt-martial that heard Duncan s
case. but we do know that the punish
ment meted out 10 him OF two months
confinement in camp is absurd, consid-
erng the charge II he was innocent
there Should have been no sentence, if
he was connected with the affair he
should have been more severely pun
ished
1t has been said that he was sentenced
for not commanding the men who dug
up Humphreys grave to desist II he
knew the men why does he not tell their
names. or If he withhold their names for
fear Of discriminating himself. why Is
he not more firmly dealt with?
The Kansas City Times says:
"By the time the State Of Virginia gets
through with .drreon Duncan, the grave
robber he is likely TO be very much
older and a very much wiser man.
II Duncan is guilty he Will experience
some such delay I'm returning home as
the KANSAS City Times suggests, but
there will be no spirit of revenge in
the conduct of his prosecution i'm this

counsel, and a strong fight will be made
for his acquittal, but his case will be
fully heard, and if he cannot show clean
hands Of all completely in the culpable
deed he will not be mustered out for
