on the charges OF bribery in the election
to the Senate of Hon. NJ. A. Hanna, as
made by the Ohio State Senate. The re-
port sets out that no direct remonstrance
setting out that Mr.. Hanna was not
elected or ought to be expelled from the
Senate had been received by the Senate. 1t
also shows that no one has appeared be
fore the committee. and that no papers
have been received beyond the formal
report OF the action of the State Senate
Notwithstanding these failures, the com
mittee has investigated the CHARGE.
1t finds that there Is no proof sub
mitted. either that ID Mr. Hanna was
elected senator through bribery, or C)
that he had any agents engaged in car
rying on his canvass for the Senate, who
were directly or implicitly authorized by
him to resort to corrupt methods or to any
form of wrOng-doing; or CO that he mad
any personal knowledge of the facts Of
the Otis case. IT may be said that there
is no evidence which fairly tends TO prove
either of the foregoing three propositions.
IN view Of these facts. the Committee on
Privileges and Elections have reached
the conclusion that the United STAGES
Senate Is not called upon to take any &C
ton in the premises"
MINORITY REPORT.
A minority report, signed by Senators
Turley, Pettus and Caffery, was present
ed by Senator Turey. This report takes
the position that further investigation
should be made, and enters quite fully into
the statement of the case presented
by the Ohio Senate. The minority con-
tend that the attempt on the part of
Boyce to buy Ouss vote for Mr.. Hanna
is clearly proved by Campbell. They
claim that it is shown that Hauna's man
agers-Dick and Rathbone-were at the
! Nell House. in Columbus where Hanna
! had his headquarters. and the" repeat tbs
details Of Boyce's conv ersation with then
over the telephone from the Gibson Hous'
in Cincinnati. as overheard by clerks o.
the Gibson House.
1T was in their interviews" the minor
ity say. that the terms for the purchas
J of the Otis vote were agreed upon between
Boyce and Campbell"

A GOVERNORS BUSINESS,
Says Roosevelt, Is to Give Expression
to the Best Thought of
the Masses

New York, Feb. 3.-The twenty
seventh annual dinner of the Silk As
ISOLATION of America was held at Del
monico's last night. About $50 mem
bers were present.
Governor Roosevelt sent his regrets
in a letter, in which he said;
ct should have particularly liked to
meet your body, because what / am
most anxious to do is to get in touch
and keep in touch with just such as
sociations of men. The business of adj
ministering the state is after all chiefly
the business of trying to give expression
in executive act, to the best thought of
the mass of private citizens who have
the welfare of the commonwealth at
heart For this reason I want to keep
in touch with men like those at your
dinner, who are disinterestedly in favor
of decency and good government.
Congressman Charles A. RUSSELL of
Connecticut, spoke to the toast 1.-THE
State of Connecticut" He referred to
the treaty of peace, saying it was the
most natural thing in the world for his
state to believe in expansion; it had
always been for expansion. That is the
way it educates it's sons.
From the very beginning said Con-
gresham Russell 1--WE in Connecticut
have been taught that a man owes
something to himself and something to
his country and humanity, as well, and
it is a perfectly natural evolution, if you
please, for US to go along and say that
the state and the nation owes some.
thing to itself and something to nu-
mainly and civilization as WE'LL
Jutaro Komura, envoy extraordinary
from Japan, responded next to the toast
1.-The Empire of Japan He thanked
the guests for the cordiality of their
greeting, and said it was but another
expression of the cordial relations ex-
listing between Japan and the United
States which have always been of the
most friendly sort and altogether with
out a parallel in the history of nations.
He said a Japanese always feels when
in the United States that he is in the
home of his friends. He said the in
terests of the two nations do not clash
as the extraordinary growth of their
trade in the last decade fully proves.
He said the American exports to Japan
had been larger than the imports. He
concluded with: From the beginning
of material interests, therefore, no less
than on sentimental grounds, I may
say that the republic of the United
States looking out upon the widening
horizon of a new era in its marvellous
history, can find no truer and more
sincere well wisher than the empire Of
Japan"

The proffered $3,0O000O for the

have lost all proofs that they are own

WHY EXTRAORDINARY.
g. G. Clemens Says When a Legisla
ture Promises Anything the Occa-
sion is Extraordinary"

G. c. Clemens speech in defense of
the extra session of the legislature be-
fore Judge Hazen of the district court
was pronounced by lawyers to have
been one of the most convincing ever
heard in the court room.
After discussing the question of an
extraordinary session in its various
phases, Mr.. Clemens turned to Attorney
General GODDARD. IT might take the
position said he, that your contention
concerning the governors proclamation
is true. But here in Kansas, and in
fact anywhere, the railroads have such
a grip on the people that never before
has a governor been able to get legis
1ature to promise to do anything to
regulate the railroads. When a gov
ernor has sure thing that he can get
a legislature that will pass any laws
to govern the railroads it is the most eX-
traordinary occasion to be imagined.
1T reminds me of the story of the
old man who sat at a camp meeting
with his rifle on his knee waiting for his
son to get religion so that he could kill
him and the boy would have a sure
thing on heaven. That was his only
chance"
