HARRISBURG, Pa, April IS. Majority
and minority reports were reported to
the house from the committee which
has for several weeks past been investi-
eating the charges Of attempted bribery
in connection with the balloting for
United States senator and the considera-
bill. The latter bill, which was even
tually defeated, was said to have been
introduced to aid Senator Quay in his
then approaching trial in the Philadel-
phia court.
The majority report recites at consid-
cradles length testimony taken by the
committee and says the evidence dis
closed clearly that undue means were
taken by many persons to corruptly
solicit members of the house for the
purpose OF
Influencing Their Official Action
in reference to the McCarrol jury bill
and in reference to their official action
as to the election of an United States
senator.
This corrupt solicitation, the report
says. consisted of offers of money, posi-
ton, advantage and political prefer
ment. The report charges that in fur
therance Of an unlawful conspiracy to
carry out the scheme rooms were main
tanned at the Lochiel hotel. In the con-
Guiding paragraph of the report nine
persons are named against whom the
committee recommends that legal &C
ton be brought. This paragraph is as
follows:
In conclusion, your committee re-
specially reports that there is, in their
opinion, sufficient evidence against

ocrat. Kulp was a member of the
Fifty-fourth and Fifty-sixth congresses
from the Seventh Pennsylvania district
and is Republican. Coyle, Costello,
Byrne and Moyles were formerly in the
legislature. Some are Democrats and
some are Republicans. The majority
report is signed by five of the nine
members Of the committee, Messrs.
Fow, DEM, chairman; Dixon, Dem.

Quay Republicans.
The minority report is practically the
same as the majority as far as the find.

The governor sent message to the
legislature during the day informing
that body of a cablegram from Colonel
Ames saying the regiment desired to re-

days ago asking the administrations in
tentions but had received no reply. He
therefore placed the matter before the
legislature to take such action as the
situation demanded. In the senate the
communication went to the committee
on military affairs; in the house it was
laid on the table: ,....s.E - s..

the possession by him of the

Yes, brethren Of the bar, we

death and how our illustrl-
Gus dead brother, Judge
Greene, met it. 1t may be
that we cannot resist the con
clusion that the groans and
commissions of the friends of
the deceased, discololed ia re
of the dead, the widows

quies present all the pains
and terrors that death pos.

President of the International

There Is No Doubt About
the Boys Winning the
Fight.

w. d. Mahon, president of the In
ternational Street Car Employees AS
sociation, arrived in the city Thurs
day for the purpose of conducting the
strike of the street car employees. Mr..
Mahon is a very able leader and there
is every encouragement that the strike
will be brought to a successful close
in the near future under his able man
agement.
Arrangements are being made for a
big industrial parade Sunday after
noon of all. the labor unions and their
sympathizers Of Duluth, West Du-
luth and West Superior, to take place
in this city. It will probably be the
largest affair of the kind ever held al
the head of. the lakes as all laborine
men will be free to take part. The
parade will be followed by a mass
meeting either at the Union rink or ir
the open air at some convenient placSA
Tonight a secret mass meeting OF
members of organized labor is called
by the trades assembly to be held at
Columbia Hall, ;. Twenth-tirst avenue
west and Superior street. President
Mahon will be present and address the
meeting. Only members of organized
labor will be allowed to be present
and will be admitted by card.
The strikers are greatly encouraged
over the patronage the busses are re-
ceiving from the public. Passengers
can be seen on almost every street
corner waiting for hours until bus
comes along, rather than ride on the
street cars.
The boys expressed much amuse-
ment over the report of Receiver Men
denhall in yesterdays morning paper,
that the strike was over and the old
employees were asking to be taken
back. They said Mendenhall didn't
declare the strike and they did not
propose that he should have hand in
calling it off.
