GETTING IT'S REPORT READY.
President May Make 1t the Basis of
investigation.

Washington Feb 4.-The committee to
investigate the conduct of the war Is de-
voting all of it's energies to closing up it's
report. The rough draft is practically
completed and fair copies are being made
of the documents as far as it is ready.
The report may be signed by the COM
mittee Monday, and when signed will be
promptly placed in the hands of the
President. The latter, ID is believed, will
make the document public after he has
had opportunity to consider 1t carefully
himself, as this report will serve as a basis
for whatever inquiry the President may
order into the charges made by Gen.
Miles. and into the conduct of that officer
himself.
This projected inquiry is the subject of
good deal of discussion among the
friends of the two elements into which the
military service is divided, and has devel-
oped no little acerbity of temper on the
part of some of the officers whenever the
matter is referred to.

ANTI-aUAY SENATOR CHOSEN.
Was Elected in Place of Lieutenant
Governor Goblin.

Lebanon, Pa, Feb. 4.-Dr. Samuel Weiss
the anu-Quay candidate. was nominated
for state senator at the Republican pri-
mary election Of Lebanon county tonight,
defeating DR.. G. Gerberich, the Quay can
didate by about 1,500 majority
The nomination of a candidate for state
senator was made necessary by the resig-
nation of ]. p. s. Goblin, senator from that
district, who was elected lieutenant gov
ernor in the November election.
Owing to the fight in the Pennsylvania
legislature for a successor to Senator Quay
the fight was the most bitter ever expert
enced in this county. Both factions sent
political leaders into the district to speak
for their respective candidates, and there
have been charges and counter charges
of attempted bribery as a result of the
bitter fight.
An antirQuay leader was arrested to-
day charged with bribery, but was sub
sequently released on $1,000 bail. The
election will be beld on Feb. 21, but Dr.
Weiss nomination Is considered equal TO

London, Feb, 4-Ethan Alien Hitchcock
the retiring American ambassador 10 Rus
sia, who was recently appointed United
States Secretary of the Interior. arrived in
London to-day on his way to Washington
He carries home the strongest pro-Rus-
sian sympathles
In an interview had with him by repre-
sentative of the Associated Press, Mr.
Hitchcock denounced emphaticaly the
stories current since the beginning of the
Hispano- American war that Russia was a
member OF coalition of continental Pow
ers which would have intervened in the
dispute had not England refused TO Join
them.
These stories are utterly unfounded, e"
said Mr.. Hitchcock. There has never been
single item of proof produced to sub
stantiate them, and, on the contrary, Rus
United States and has manifested that
friendship during the past years in many
ways of which my position forbids me to
speak"
Like most persons making the acquaint-
ance OF the Gar, Mr. Hitchcock has a
profound admiration for the young poten-
tate, and expresses himself strongly as to
his frankness, sincerity and enterprise.
After the formal presentation OF his let
ters of recall on Saturday last Mr.
Hitchcock had a long personal talk with
the Car and Count Muraveff, the Rus
sian foreign minister.
He SCOTS at the idea that the Cars
peace propaganda is inspired by any but
the highest motives. Regarding the
Cars proposal looking to the Limitation
of armaments, Mr.. Hitchcock said:
The Car is in no wise discouraged
by the reception of his plans for checking
the increase of armaments. He has not
any idea that he will achieve all he de-
sires Immediately, but is firm in the belief
that his views must prevail In time, and
in not a far distant time"

CINCINNATI FIRM GETS IT.
Wimpy's Bid on Furniture for New
Building Was TOO High.

Washington, Feb. 4.-(SpeciaD.-The Sex
ton Furniture Company of Cincinnati win
probably be awarded the contract for sup
plying the furniture for the postoffice and
court house at Savannah. Bids were open
ed at the treasury department to-day for
this work, and it was found that there
were ten competitors.
The only local competitive bidder from
Savannah was w. Z. Wimpy, and he had
no chance in securing the contract, be-
cause his bid was so much in excess of all
his rivals. The Savannah bidder must
have misconstrued the terms of the pro-
posal, for his figures were so out of pro-
portion to the olher bids as to occasion
comment. The average bid seems to have
been on a 5000 basis, as all OF the bids,
except that OF Mr.. Wimpy were in the
S, 900 nelghborhood. The bids were as fol-
lows:

OPPOSITION is OBSTINATE.
AGAIN OBJECTS 40 VOTE ON QUAL-
flying RESOLUTIONS.

Request Made By Senator Sullivan,
Who Wanted to Vote ON His own
Neutrality-suspicious. to Get an Earl
Ter Meeting Monday Proved Unsuc-
cessfuI-AIbrGan Furnishes an In
teresting Defense of Treaty Rati-
ficatiOn.
Washington, Feb. 4.--Another effort was
made in the executive session of the Sen
ate to-day to secure unanimous consent to
vote on the resolutions interpretive of
the peace treaty, and 1t was refused by
the opponents Of the treaty.
The request was proffered by Senator
Sullivan of Mississippi, who expressed
desire to have a vote on the resolution
offered by himself Senator Jones made
the objection.
There was also another effort to secure
general consent to an earlier meeting
Monday but this also. was refused, Sen
ator Jones of Arkansas acting as spokes-
man for the opposition.
Senator Lodge was in charge of the for
tunes of the treaty to-day In the absence
of Senator Davis. He suggested meeting
on Monday at IL o'clock, but consent was
refused as was also the consent TO a
recess until 12 o'clock Monday, or to an
order dispensing with the routine business
on that day. The result was an adjourn
ment until u o'clock Monday without any
conditions.
The fact developed during this fencing
for time that several senators wished still
to be heard in explanation of their atti-
tudes. Among those who have announced
their intention to ask TO be heard is Sena-
tor Allen of Nebraska, who it was stated,
would denounce the opposition to the
treaty in Democratic ranks as a conspira-
cy against Mr.. BHyan.
Morgan for Ratification.
For the rest of the time Senator Nor
gan occupied the attention of the Senate
in a very forcible argument in support of
the treaty. He declared his convictions
that the treaty should be ratified without
amendment or modifying declaration. He
believed the American commissioners to
the Paris conference had acted very wisely
and in the best interests of the whole
country and he, for one, was willing to
accept their work just as they had given
it to us.
He was also perfectly willing to trust
the President aided as he would be, by
Congress, TO take care of the Philippine
question In the way most satisfactory TO
our people and in the best interests of the
Filipinos He warned the Democratic SEN
ators against taking position against the
treaty, asserting that If they succeeded
in defeating 1t they would wreck the Dem
ocratic party. Senator Morgan contended
that there were no constitutional impedi-
ments in the way of acquiring the Philip
pines.
The friends of the treaty still find them
selves short of the votes necessary to rah-
fly the treaty and some of them candidly
confess that such Is the case. They are
however still hopeful that the shortage
will be made good hefore Monday
