BRIBERY CHARGES MADE
Result of the Investigation in
Pennsylvania.
NINE MUST STAND TRIAL
Offers of Money and Position Were Cor
ruptly Made to Members of the
Legislature To Help
Out Boss Quay.

Harrisburg, April 17-Majority and
minority reports were presented to the
house this evening from the committee
which has for several weeks past been
investigating the charges of attempted
bribery in connection with the ballot
ing for United States senator, and the
consideration in the house Of the Nc
Carroll bill. The latter BILL which was
eventually defeated, was said to have
been introduced to aid Senator Quay
in his then approaching trial in the
Philadelphia courts.
The majority report recites at con-
siderable length the testimony taken
BY the committee, and says the evil
dence disclosed that undue means were
taken by many persons to corruptiy
solicit members of the house. both for
the purpose of influencing their official
action in reference to the McCarroll
jury bill and in reference to their Of
ficial action as to the election of a
United States senator. This corrupt
solicitation. the report says, consisted
of offers of money, position, advantage
and political preferment. The report
charges that in furtherance of an un-
lawful conspiracy to carry out the
scheme rooms were maintained at the
Lochiel hotel in Harrisburg for the
purpose of having members of the
house brought there that they might
be approached in reference to the sub
ject matter referred to. Those who main
tained those rooms and corruptly ap-
preached certain members, the report
continues, were John j. Coyle, Charles
P. P. Spatz, Thomas B. Moyles, Mi
chael J. Costello and Martin Lawter.
Other persons are named as having
been engaged in efforts to corruptly
solicit members.
Some of these are passed over as
merely deserving censure. but in the
concluding paragraph of the report
nine persons are named against whom
the committee recommends that legal
action be brought. This paragraph is
as follows:
I'm conclusion your committee re-
spectively reports that there is, in our
opinion sufficient evidence against
Charles Spatz, John r. Byrne, Parker
Titus, Frank B. Jones, Monroe H. Kulp,
J. Coyle and M. J. Costello for this
house to direct that criminal proceed
ings be brought against them in the
courts of quarter session of Dauphin
county, and it is recommended that
these proceedings be Immediately com
menced and vigorously prosecuted by
the authority of this house"
Spatz is at present a member of the
house from Berks county. and is a dem
ocrat; Kulp was a member 2of the
Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth houses and
is a republican: Coyle. Costello Byrne
and Moyles were formerly in the legis-
lature Some are democrats and some
republicans.

SWORN EVIDENCE
That a German Directed the Attacking
Parties in Samoa.

London, April 1.-THE parliamentary
secretary, Rt. Hon. William John
Broderick, replying in the house of
commons to-day to Michael Davitt,
member for South Mayo, said the man.
ager of the German plantation near
Apia was arrested by the senior Brit
ish naval officer on sworn evidence that
he was seen directing the natives who
ambushed the naval landing parties.
This action. Mr.. Broderick added was
taken without the naval officers having
an opportunity Of communicating with
the home government. In conclusion,
Mr. Broderick said:
We are informed that he was hand
ed over to the commander of the Ger
man warship Fake on the promise that
he would be detained on board"
Answering question regarding the
Clayton -Bulwer treaty, Mr.. Broderick
remarked:
Communications regarding proposed
notifications Of the treaty have been
exchanged between Washington and
London, but no agreement has been
reached. Under the circumstances it is
impossible to present the papers on the
subject"
The first lord of the admiralty,
George J. Goschen, on being questioned
respecting the subsidies to be paid to
;
given to terminate the agreements with
the Cunard, White Star and Peninsula
& Oriental Steamship companies in or
der to place the admiralty in a position
to review the conditions of the con-
tracts and the selection of vessels sub
sidized. There was no intention, he
added, of abandoning the subsidy pol
icy.
Replying to further questions on Sa-
moa, Mr. Broderick said authority had
been given the British representative
at Apa to join, if he deems it advisable,
in a joint proclamation with the other
consuls, calling upon the inhabitants to
abstain from hostilities pending the ar
rival of the Samoan commissioners.
Continuing, Mr.. Broderick said the
telegraphic reports received do not af-
ford sufficient material from which to
judge the cause of the recent hostilities,
but so far as ascertainable the action
of the United States and British naval
commanders was caused by some ag-
gression against British subjects or
United States citizens or their property
which they We're bound to defend.
