BRIBERY IN CALIFORNIA
U. S. GRANT, JR., HIS MANAGER AND
OTHERS IMPLICATED.
Report of the Committee that Investi-
gated the Charges against Candf-
dates for the Senate.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 27-The spe-
cial committee appointed to investigate into
scandals connected with the election of
United States senator filed it's report to-
day. The committee finds that Howard E.
Wright, speaker of the Assembly, received
from u. S. Grant, jr., through his political
manager, Milton J. Green, $500 as a gift and
$50 as a loan that Wright, prior to his cleo
tion, deceived John d. Spreckels and w. S.
Leake to secure their support for the speak
e1ship, stating that he was unpledged to any
senatorial candidate; that by promising to
vote for Robert N. Bulla for United States
senator he secured Bulla's support for the
speakership; that by the acceptance of
Grants money and by the solicitation of
Daniel NJ. Burnss influence to secure his
election as speaker, Wright led each of those
candidates for United States senator to ex-
pect his vote.
The report further states that Milton j.
Green, the duly appointed and accredited
agent of U. S. Grant, jr., expended large
sums of money, exceeding in the aggregate
$4,000, but the exact amount of which is to
The committee on investigation recon-
ton of a Republican Legislature.
The committee finds that d. NJ. Burns,
Robert N. Bulla, w. II. L. Barnes and the
other senatorial candidates, except Grant
expended no money and promised no patron
age to promote their respective candidates.
The committee of investigation recon-
mends:
"F'irst-That the conduct of Howard E.
Wright, speaker of the Assembly, as above
set forth. be held to be reprehensible in an
extreme degree and that no mere censure
on the part of the Assembly can meet the
requirements of justice, but the matter of
adequate punishment be left entirely I'm the
Assembly. without recommendation from
the committee.
''Second-That the expenditure of large
sums of money in aid OF the candidacy Of
United States senator in the manner above
set forth is wrong and reprehensible, in
that it is calculated to corrupt morals, to
debauch the political system to deter poor
men of ability from entering on sena-
torial campaign and to give to the rich an
unwarranted and unjustifiabe advantage
over men Of equal ability and qualifications,
but of limited means That the receiving Of
money by legislative candidates from prob
able senatorial candidates, either directly
or indirectly, in aid of their own candidacy,
is reprehensible for the same reasons.
The report was made a special order for
tomorrow, prior TO taking the vote for
United States senator. The effect of the
committees report is variously estimated.
Some insist that it will tend to break up
Grant S forces, while Grants friends insist
that it will only bind them together closer
than ever before.

Bradstreets Financial Review tomorrow
will say: One of those speculative outbreaks
which occur at irregular intervals in the
history of commercial countries is now in
full progress in the United States, with
Wall street as the. scene for its principal
manifestations The present week has wit
messed further advances of the kind, which
only occur when the public comes into the
market almost en- masse and purchases ca
gery and even recklessly. This has caused
the transactions in stocks to assume dimen-
sons never before seen in this market. The
dealings have been excited, especially on
Monday morning, when the rush of buying
orders "at the market were such as to
cause wild advances in some stocks and not
a little temporary confusion. The mechan-
ism of the stock market and of the street at
large have however, worked well, the stock
clearing system being in no small degree re-
sponsible for this fact Money continues
to be exceptionally easy, there being no
symptoms whatever of the hardening of in
terest rates which usually appeared on
former occasions when extremely active
speculation has developed. This exception
al state of affairs is due, no doubt. to the
circumstances that our market in contrast
to it's position in 1885, or in the other
blooms" of the past, is not now borrowing
money abroad with which to carry on the
current speculation, but is actually lending
large amounts to London and the continen-
tai cities. 1t may be noted that while Lon
don follows the proceedings here with great
interest and has even shown a sympathetic
tendency toward increased speculative ac-
tivity on it's own account, it has been, on the
whole, a seller of our securities; or, to put
the case in another way, prices here have
advanced so much and so rapidly that Lon
don has not kept pace with us, and arbi-
TRACE operations, involving the buying of
American stocks in London and their resale
here, has resulted in the shipment of con-
siderable amounts of securities from Eu-
rope to New York. The controlling factor
in the market has, however, been the con-
tinued increase of speculative purchasing
orders from the public, not only in New
York but throughout the country. Wall
street commission houses have had an in
fiuX of such business to an extent hitherto
unknown, and in many cases their facilities
have been almost overwhelmed by the de-
tail work which it involved. 1t is however,
a notable circumstance that as Il rule firms
of this class which naturally profit by the
wholesale entrances of the public into the
market, have generally been recommending
conservatism and profit-taking TO their Gus
toners In fact, the street has appeared
to be somewhat backward while the public
presents such decided evidences of spec
uative confidence. There has, of course,
been heavy realizing from time to time and
not a little shifting of the publics buying
from one part of the list to another.

PEACE TREATY DEBATE.
Senator Frye Explains, ana Is Asked
Many Questions.

Many Questions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.--The Senate con-
tinued to consider the peace treaty in execu-
tive session to-day, the doors being closed
for almost three hours. Senator Frye, a
member of the Paris peace commission and
naturally a strong friend Of the treaty, held
the attention of the Senate during the great
er part of this time Constructively he oc-
cupied the floor during the entire session,
but he was frequently interrupted by other
senators. Most of these Interruptions came
in the way of questions, but some of them
took the form of speeches. This was not
ably the case with Senator Berry's inter-
ruptions. He spoke for some time and in do
ing so denounced the treaty in severe terms.
Senators Mason and Caffery asked many
questions.
MIR. Frye devoted the principal portion of
his speech outside of the reading of a re-
port on the proceedings of the peace COM
mission to an explanation of why the Phil
ippine archipelago was included in the ces-
sion to the United States. He was asked
the question why those islands were not
placed in the same class as Cuba, the SOW
cTeignty over this island being merely re-
pines it had been made over to the United
t.,at4s, ana replied that the difference was
made because in the case of Cuba the COM
mission was acting under instructions from
Congress. He was reminded that the Fill
pinos prOfessed to be fighting for freedom
just as the CubanS were, and that they were
still contending for their own independence.
One senator reminded him of the repre-
sentatons of Aguinaldos American agent,
Agoncillo, and asked ii he meant to force
the Philippine people to actual hostilities, to
which Mr. Frye retorted that it was the
opposition which was forcing a continuance
of the state of war and which would be
spOnsible for hOstilities if they should occur.
As for himself, however, he did not know
the tiiipinos in the transaction. The treaty
should have been ratified ten days ago. and
if it had been all danger of war with the
people of the Philippine islands would have
been averted
Senator Mason put the question whether
the commissioners did not know when they
made the treaty and whether he did not
know now that the natives of those islands
were then now demanding their independ-
ence. In response Mr.. Frye repeated that
the commission had dealt with Spain re-
garding the Filipinos as subjects of that
country. Spain had lost in the conflict of
war and hence the United States had a per-
feet right, according to the law of nations
to acquire any part of her possessions or
people in adjusting the balances after the
war was over.

ried by the measure-about S145,O0O,O O00-Mr.
German said that notwithstanding the fact
that IL per cent of our soldiers who mad
been and We're still engaged in the war with
Spain in tropical countries were sunering
from Illness that would make them proper
applicants for pensions, no provision had
been made in the pending measure for this
increase in the pension roll
Al this point Mr.. German was interrupted
by Mr. Hale, who said that he had been
informed by prominent officer of the army
that if our troops were not recalled from
Cuba before June or July at the latest. the
entire army on the island would be down
with illness.
Continuing, Mr.. German said that the war
with Spain would swell the pension roll by
at least $1,000 names if the troops were
not recalled from the tropical cline by the
first Of next September Within three
years from this date" said Mr.. German, in
conclusion. 1.-The pension roll will amount to
Sl65000 600 a year. If you add to that the
cost of maintaining your army Ga thousand
dollars a mani the American Republic will
in the year 1900 expend more money for its
army and pensioners than any other nation
on the face Of the earth. That Is a fact
which the American people will Nhave to
face, and ought to know now, in advance,
what is coming to them If the schemes and
projects that are being forced upon US are
carried out"
