said that they had been endeavoring to
hold up the government and compel 1t to
pay inordinate and extortionate charges

Mr.. Perkins Of California, denied the

The cause of this debate, a bill reported
from the committee on commerce provid-
ing American registry for the steamers
Olympia, Victoria Tacoma, Columbia, Ari-
iona and Argyll of the Northern Pacific
Steamship Company, was passed.
Mr.. Lodge Of Massachusetts precipitated
a lively debate by Offering the following
resolutions:
THAT the committee on claims be di-
rected to inquire and report to whom the
money was paid under the claim of the
Methodist Book concern, South and also
as to all circumstances connected with the
passage of the bill providing for the pay
ment of said claim, and with the subse-
quent payment of the money under said
act of Congress"
Mr. Lodge explained that when the bill
appropriating $2Ss, 900 70 pay the claim of
the Methodist Book concern was before
the Senate he had offered an amendment
providing that not more than 5000 should
be paid to any agent or lobbyist for work
ing for the bill. His amendment had been
received with Indignation and the asser-
ton that 1t was a reflection upon the hon
or of men who were rendering to the
Methodist Church, South, a service Of
love.
1--WE were assured" said Mr.. Lodge,
that no part Of the sum appropria ted was
to be paid to agents. but it develops that
a contract existed for the payment of So
per cent of the proceeds of the claim to
lobbyists, and that one man has received
the immense sum of $780, 10.
Mr. Lodge then presented several news
paper clippings in which the whole scheme
was exposed. In response TO a suggestion
he said he made no charge against the
Methodist Church, South, but In the clip

rious charges against the accredited agents
of the church.
Mr. Bate of Tennessee, who had strongly
advocated the payment of the church
claim, was much exercised over the dis
closures He denounced the action of the
agents as an outrage upon individual sem
ators and upon Congress. He favored
thorough investigation of the transaction
to the end that the responsible persons
might be exposed.
Mr. Bate read telegram from Messrs.

Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 9, $40 p. M
President Ulysses Heureaux of the repub-
lie of Dominica believes he has discovered
proof that the steamer Fanita, formerly
of the Clyde Line, which was used by
Seniors Jimenes and Morales in their I'M
successful attempt to overthrow the Do
minican government, left the United
States with the countenance of the Amer
lean government under a mere pretense of
taking munitions of war to Cuba.
President HeureaGx arrived here to-day
on the Dominican gun boat Restauracion
about noon from Great Inaqua. While
racy against Tmenes, who had previous
ly been released on bail under a charge
of having violated the navigation laws.
Cen Heureaux said he had been warn
ed that Jimenes was conspiring against
him by an official TO whom Jlmenes offered
a post
President Heureaux coolly, but as if en-
joying a capital story, told how the revo-
luton was nipped in the bud and how he
had summarily executed nearly all the
prisoners, reserying only those who he
thought might be used in obtaining further
information about the conspiracy
He described the flight Jimenes as
cowardly, but he said distinctly that he
could make no claim against the United
States government, believing that govern
ment had been misled, through no fault of
its own.
President Heureaux denied the reported
wholesale shooting of the employees of
Jimenes, asserting that only two were
shot, and they were found with arms in
their hands.

History does not record an act of finer
