USE OF MONEY IN POLITICS
SENATOR CHANDLER DEPRE-
GATES CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
Cites Several Instances of Heavy Ex-
penditures, But Makes No Refer
ence to Hanna's Corruption Fund.

Manchester n. H, Dec. Ex-senator
William E. Chandler has addressed let
ter to the Union upon the Growth and
use of money in politice in New HamD-
shire-shan it increase or .stop?" In this
letter. Mr. Chandler reviews the various
methods of financing political campaigns
in New Hampshire from the earliest days
to the present He tells of the early Wing
and Democratic contests, and speaks par
ticularly of the presidential campaign Of
1852 when a son OF New Hampshire was
elected president of the United States
and when the entire expenses of the cam
of S6O0, which was raised by addressing
letters to individual Democrats, request
ing subscriptions of s. each.
During the war of the rebellion the
state became a closely contested field. A
critical contest was that OF 1868, but ac-
cording to Senator Chandler, the expenses
of the Republican state committee were
not more than 81. 600. These earlier cam
paignS the senator contrasts with later
contests, dwelling particularly upon that
of 1880. when Charles A. Sinclair Demo-
cratic campaign manager and candidate
for United States senator, one one day
(Nov. 6) drew his check upon a. Boston
bank for $4,000 and made lavish eXpendi-
lures.
The railroads. Mr.. Chandler says. have
contests in the legislatures particularly
in 1882 and 1887. This corruption. the SEN
ator explains, ceased only with the abb
sorption of the Concord road by the Bos-
ton & Maine in 1S95.
The senator refers only briefly to ex-
penditures in national campaigns. but he
seems to regard the expenditures orevi-
Gus to 1882 as moderate. He says:

national committee of the Republican

was approached for information, and
stated that Bank examiner Wighsman,
in July, had made an examination of
the condition of the Utah National
bank, of which Mr.. Stout was then
president, and had made another ex-
animation of the institution in Novem-
Der last. The result of these inYesti-
cations was that Mr. Wightman felt
it to be his duty to lay the case before
the United States attorney, with view
Of instituting criminal proceedings
against Mr.. Stout for presenting
false statement of certain transactions
of the bank, and also probably for
forgery. The documents were turned
over to Mr.. Whittemore some little
time ago, and yesterday he said he had
not yet had time to make thorough
investigation of the law and of the evil
dence at hand, but would do so within
the next three or four days. In the
meantime he was unable to say wheth-
er or not a warrant for Mr. Stoutt's
arrest would be issued, and in case
that a warrant would be issued, he
could not say what the specific charge
would be.

Removed.
Washington, Dec. 23.-It is accepted
as little short of certain in the best
informed official and diplomatic circles
tha; negotiations viii be opened at an
early day toward so modifying the
Clayton -Bulwer treaty as to meet the
conditions Of the present day concern
ing American construction and control
of the Nicaraguan canal. But while
recent events on both sides of the
water have made this move obvious
the British ambassador, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, has not, up to the present
time, received any instructions to open
negotiations on this subject, nor is
there any intimation that any instruc-
tions are about to be received.
London, Dec. 2S.-There seems to be
little doubt that Great Britain will
agree to abrogate the Clayton -Bulwer
treaty. The temper of the cabinet and
public opinion, which largely influ-
ences the governments policy, points
to such action, though no definite un-
derstanding with the United States
desires that the Nicaragua canal be
constructed and is willing that the
United States should control il il the
United States guarantees its neutral
ity and safeguards British interests.
The reports from Washington that
the British ambassador there. Sir
Julian Pauncefote, has been instructed
to negotiate the abrogation of the
treaty are incorrect, though it is likely
he will soon receive instructions to
that effect.

ADVANCE IN RATES.
Thrift ON Freight Shipped to Asiatic
Points Increased.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, May M.-The Trans
continental Freight Bureau completed a two
weeks session to-day While nothing Off
cial was given out of the result of the meet
ing, it is authoritatively learned that a de-
cided advance in Asi3tic rates, including all
ports in China and Jaran, will be imme-
diately made by the association. This will
also result in the putting up of transconti-
mental rates in this country, but it is under
stood that while the less than carloads will
be advanced from rs to so per cent. over
existing rates from New York, Chicago and
ST. Louis and Milwaukee to the Pacific
coast, the Middle West cities will not suffer,
because under the new schedule all rates
that are advanced at all will be raised pro-
portionately from all Eastern points, where
they have for years been practically the
the Pacific coast. All rates to points in
Asia are figured from New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Louis
and all gateway territory via San Francisco
The general advance will be from 20 to 80
per cent. 1t was also decided at this meet
ing to advance the through rates to and
from Great Britain and the continent and
Asiatic territory on all commodities that
usually go via the transcontinental lines
across the United States against the
SueZ canal water route, which is much the
longer and requires much more time.
