cial.) 1.-THE senate defeated Twichel's

SENATOR HANNA SAFE.

Committee Elections Declares
There Is No Cause so Unseat Him.
WASHINGTON, Feb. %. = Senator
Chandler, from the committee on priv
ileges and elections, today presented
to the senate the report of that COM
m1ttee on the charges of bribery in the
election to the senate of Hon. M A.
Hanna, as made by the Ohio senate
The report sets out that no direct re-
monstrance setting out that Mr.. Han
ma was not elected or ought to be ex-
PEELED from the senate had been re-
ceived by the senate It also shows
that no one has appeared before the
committee, and that no papers have
been received beyond the papers from
the state senate
The committee has investigated the
charges. 1t finds that there is no
proof submitted either Of the charges
% that Mr.. Hanna had been elected to
the senate through bribery, or (2) that
he had any agents carrying on his can
vass for the senate who were directly
or Indirectly authorized by him to re-
sort to corrupt methods or to any form
Of wrong doing, or 90 that he had any
personal knowledge of the facts Of the
Otis case. 1t 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 commit
tee on privileges and elections has
reached the conclusion that the Unit
ed States senate is not called upon to
take any action in the premises. The
utmost fact which the committee Of
the state senate claim to have proved"
the report continues, sis that an at
tempt was made to bride Mr.. Otis.
which failed. Without further facts
than these the validity of Mr.. Hanna's
election will stand unimpeached, and
the senate is not called upon to search
for further facts in the absence Of any
specification Of such facts or of any
distinct suggestion where they may
be found.

Denning, Bonanza and several other
mines went out today. AT Jenny Lind
the men are engaged in the cleanup,
and the general strike will occur tomor-
row. The fight is not so much against

selling the dealers extensively, and this
Is the only saving circumstance Of an
otherwise imminent coal famine

Ing company, posted at it's different

sion On many miners. The company

been made by the company for ten
years, Notwithstanding that the price
Of coal and the cost Of the miners liv-
ing have materially decreased.

NO HOG LAW.
Board Refuses to Pass One-ContraCt

Board Refuses to Pass One-Contract
with Lieht Company.
At the meeting of the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen last Friday
night, Alderman White introduced
his ordinance prohibiting hogs and
cows from running at llrge on the
streets. 1t was thought that enough
of the Aldermen were in favor of the
law to secure its passage without
trouble; indeed, majority of them
had said that they would vote for it;
but when the time for balloting
came, only two were willing to go on
record as being in favor Of it. Alder
man White moved that the ordi-
nance be passed on its first reading,
but motion In lieu was made to
refer the matter to vote of the peo-
pie at the coming November election.
A heated discussion ensued, but the
motion to refer was finally carried
and Massey voting no.
The matter of making new con-
tract with the Columbia Water &
Light Company for lighting the
streets of the city was brought up,
the old contract having expired. A
new contract was made for the
period of five years, the city agree
ing to take 80 arc lights for 81 400
per annum, or at the rate of 1888 per
light; the Water q Light company
to maintain their plant in good con-
ditiOn. The old contract was for 10
arc lights for $4,000 per annum, or at
the rate of $50 per light, on one
years contract.
