THE HANNA INVESTIGATION.
Rapidly Drawing to and End-Report
Will Probably be Made this Week.

Will Probably be Made this Week.
Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 31-The investi
CATION in the alleged attempt to bribt
Representative Otis to vote for Senator
Hanna during the Senatorial contest
is rapidly drawing to an end. The com.
m.ttee held brief session after the
Senate adjourned tn4s evening. Attor-
ney I. G. Campbell was the only wit
ness examined.
Mr. Campbell told of his personal re
lations toward Otis. He said he had
frequently acted as attorney for Otis
and always considered him a straight
forward and honest man. He said Otis
had alwsy been a sort of mild Re
publican. Campbell said he did not see
how Otis could have voted for Hanna
as Otis was u member of q free silver
club. Campbell Sa4a he had always
been on friendly terms with Senator
Hanna and had been associated in a
business way with some of Mr.. Hanna /
friends. He claimed he had been q
supporter of Hanna until after the hat
ter's position on the money question had
been made known after his appointment
to the Senate. Then he had rather drift
ed away from the Senator politically
Campbell claimed he had been a sup
orter of Mckinley in the Presidential
campaign on account of his views on the
tariff. Campbell said he made a speech
in Cooper-Union Hall for which the
President and Senator Hanna had both
sent him notes of thanks.
1t is believed the committee will com
plete its work this week and that a re-
port. or rather two reports, will be sub
mitted soon. Senator Garfield will pro
badly submit a minority report, while
Chairman Burke will submit the report
for the majority.

ing the missing words. and in this con-
test Harry knight was declared the
champion and received the handsome
boquet which was offered to the sue
cessful competition.
Perhaps the most interesting of these
progressive contests was that Of con-
yersation. Six topics were suggested
upon a card, MS follows: 1. Your favor

be; 4, Where would you rather live; 5.

plan of the game, as in others. is to
chUoSe partners, then to converse for
I'VE minutes upon each Of these topics
in succession.
Dainty refreshments were announced
at "a convenient hour. after which Miss
Katie favored her friends with vocal
solo, in manner to merit the hearty
appreciation, which WAS evidenced by
the applause. She and her sister, Miss
Minnie, also sang duet in their highly
cultivated manner, and the happy Wis
ltors took leave with many expressions
OF the genuine pleasure OF the evening.
