political circles.
Strenuous efforts are being put forth
for the suppression of piracy on the
Canton and West rivers which of late
has grown to immense proportions.
The viceroy has sent several old Ger
man 16 knot torpedo boats to West river

A strike of coolies employed in coaIing
vessels at Moji, Japan, on the 9TH in
slant, is causing much inconvenience
to shipping and large numbers ofsteam-
ers are now anchored in that port
awaiting the end of the strike so they
can take on coal. The strike was the
result of an attempt to reduce wages.

1NTERLoCKING PLANTS.
To Be Put in at Denver and Pueblo by
the Santa Fe.

Mr.. J. B. Hobson, signal engineer of
the Santa Fe, is in Denver arranging
for the putting in of interlocking plants
at two of the principal railroad cross
ings of the Santa Fe there. An inter-
locking plant will also be arranged for
at once at Pueblo.
The work of putting in the devices
at the principal railroad crossings will
be continued by the Santa F'e manage
ment throughout the year. While each
plant costs several hundred dollars, it
proves economical in the long run, as
trains are not compelled to stop at
crossings and time and fuel are saved.

Washington, March 27.-Admiral Dewey
has been instructed to send Osborne W.
Deignan. now an enlisted man on the gun
boat Castine. to San Francisco by first

Deignan was a member of the Merrimac
crew, and congress passed a special act
authorizing his appointment as a naval

he will be sent on the summer cruise with
other cadets of the fourth class. He is
only 2 years of age, and it is said at the
department that if Deignan succeeds in

good reason why he should not ultimately
reach the grade of rear admiral

SPRINKLING WITH OIL.
Fort Worth Experiments on a New
Plan to Down Dust

Fort Worth, Tex, March 27.-Under
the direction of City Engineer Hawley
Fort Worth today began an experiment
to test the feasibility OF drowning the
dust of the streets with oil, crude petro-
leum from Corsicana being used.
If today's work may be taken as a
fair test, the expense will be a fatal
objection. The cost was at the rate of
SO for a city block of 200 feet. How long
one sprinkling will last before evap-
grating is a question for the future.

States Government, that it was munich
pal hospital.
Mr.. Allison said the appropriation for
Garfield Hospital had been paid out of the
general Treasury ever since the institution
was founded. II was in his mind a Gov
ernment institution. Contributions for Its
establishment were gathered from all the
nations OF the world, and 1t was Cstab-
lished by the Government Of the United
States, and received within its walls peo-
pie from every State in the Union.
Mr.. Teller suggested that Mr. Chiffon
was not well informed in regard to Gar
field Hospital. 1t was founded by contri-
buttons and was run by private donations
with the exception of what was paid by
the General Government. and was for the
benefit of INDECENT people who did not be-
long in the District.

Mr. German took part sustaining the ac-
ton of the Senate committee. the vote was

THE ALLEGED BRIBERY
BY SENATOR HANNA
The Minority Report Indicates
the Charges Are True.
Additional Prosecution Needed to
Make the Case Complete.
A Statement That $4,000 Was Ask
ed the Price of
Vote.

A report was made to the Senate yester-
day from the Committee on Privileges and
Elections on the Hanna bribery case, the
majority decision being that the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections have
reached the conclusion that the United
States is not called upon to take any ac-
ton in the premises
After reviewing the manner in which the
evidence was transmitted to the Senate
Through the mails). and that no one ap-
peared in person TO prosecute the case, the
committee decides that the whole case rests
upon the claim of the Ohio State Senate
committee that it has proved that an at
tempt was made 10 bribe Mr.. Otis, which
failed.
Without further facts than this" it
says. 'Mr Hanna's election will stand un-
impeached and the Senate is not called
upon 10 search for further facts in the alb
selce Of any specification of such facts
or OF any distinct suggestion where they
may be found

cry in the case of Representative Otis were

Moreover, It seems clear TO this commit

tee that it would not be justified in recon-
mending any action whatever to be taken
by the Senate without further testimony
10 be taken by the committee. The ques-
tion whether additional evidence should be
taken has been the only difficult question
which the committee has considered.
In concluding, the report says that the
fact that no demand for a further prOsecu-
tion of the case having been made shows
that no further interest has apparently
been taken in the subject by any resident
OF the State OF Ohio. But taking the
case as it stands, and noting the absence
OF such prosecution. the conclusion of the
committee is not 10 ask the Senate for au
thority and direction 10 take any further
testimony. but TO ask TO be discharged
from the further consideration of the re-
port of the State Senate of Ohio
