Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 27.-The spe-
cial committee appointed to investigate
into scandals in connection with the
election of a United States senator,
filed its report today. The committee
finds that Howard Z. Wright, speaker
of the assembly, received from U. S.
Grant, jr., through his political mana
ger, Milton J. Green, $500 as gift and
$3.50 ,as a loan; that Wright, prior to
his election, deceived John d. Spreckels
and w. S. Lake to secure their sup
port for the speakership, stating that
he was unpledged 10 any senatorial
candidate; that by promising to vote
for Robert n. Bulla for United States
senator he secured Bulla's support for
the speakership; that by the accept
ance of Grants money and the solicita-
ton Of Daniel N. Burns influence TO
secure his election as speaker, Wright
led each of those candidates for Unit
ed States senator to expect his vote
The report further states that Milton
J. Green, the duly appointed and ac-
credited agent of L. $. Grant, jr., eX-
pended large sums of money, exceed
ing in the aggregate $4,000, but the eX-
act amount OF which is TO the commit
tee unknown, 10 secure the election of
a Republican legislature. The commit
tee finds that D. NJ. Burns, Robert N.
Bulla, W. II. L.aBarnes and the other
senatorial candidates, except Grant, eX-
pended no money, and promised no pat
ronage to promote their respective can
didacies. The committee Of inveStiga-
ton recommends:
First-That the conduct Of Howard
S. Wright speaker Of the assembly, as
set forth. be held to be reprehensible
do 1at
cenSure on the part of the assembly
can meet the requirements of justice,
but the matter of adequate punishment
is left entirely to the assembly, without
recommendation from the committee.
Second-That the expenditure Of large
sums of money in aid of the candidacy
of a United States senator in the man
ner above set forth, is wrong and rdp-
renensible, in that it is calculated TO
corrupt morals, to debase the political
system, to deter poor men of ability
from entering upon a senatorial cam
paign, and to give to the rich an I'M
warranted and unjustifiable advantage
over men of equal ability and qualifi-
cations, but Of limited means.
That the receiving of money by leg
islative candidates from probable SEN
atorial candidates, either directly or in
directly, in aid of their own candidacy,
is reprehensible for the same reasons.
The report was made a special order
for tomorrow, prior to taking the vote
for United States senator. The vote for
United States senator today resulted
similarly to that of yesterday. The ef-
feet of the committees report is var
iously estimated. Some insist that it
will tend to break UP Grants forces,
while Grants friends insist that it will
only bind them together closer than

General Miles statement regarding bad
beef, and said that the commanding
officer of fourteen regiments had de-
clared the beef furnished to be unfit for
food. Whatever the facts, this testi-
mOny could not be ignored. Although
General Eagan had been criticised, so,
he said, had many other high officers in
the army, the heads of bureaus, the ad-
mirals Of the navy. All had been more

continued to do their duty as men and

Dismissal from the military service of

Miles. The verdict was reached within
forty-fiVe minutes after The trial ended

Notwithstanding the nature of the
courts conclusions, the president can
exercise clemency if he so desires, and
General Eagan's friends will urge that
his punishment be y fined to relieving
him from the duties of comnissary gen
eral of subsistence, and to a detail of

The CoStIiest Wine,

The most costly and precious wine
in the world is that contained in a cask
named the Rose, in the Bremen town
hall cellars. This Rudesheim. OF the
vintage of the year 1868, is of the color
of old ale and has wonderful aroma
1t is never sold, but is used exclusively
for the sick OF Bremen, the only ex-
ceptions having been when a small bot
tie was presented to Emperor William
l., another to Frederick Ill, and one
to Prince Bismarck. The supposed
money value of this wine is something
beyond credence, but, as it is never
sold, this detail is Of slight Importance.
Old as it is, it is improbable that any
but connoisseurs could get it down, as
the taste is something terrific.

WatlIngs's Island.

Chicago Record: Investigations
that were made at the time Of the
worlds fair settled the long contro-
versy about the landfall of Columbus
to the satisfaction of nearly all geog-
raphers. Rudolph Cronau, a German
scientist; Fred A. ODER, an American,
and the superintendent of the light
house service in the Bahamas, Brit
ish naval officer whose name l have
forgotten, made thorough explorations
with the logbOok of Columbus as their
guide. They visited all the other is
lands in the neighborhood, but none
corresponded in any way with the de-
scriptions given by the admiral, while
Watling's seemed to fit exactly-even
the coral reefs and the lagoons that
gave him SO much difficulty. The light
that Columbus saw the night before
the discovery was undoubtedly a torch
in the hands of some faithful fsherwlfe
held up to guide her husband home,
and Albert Biersstadt spent several
weeks at Watling's painting a picture
to commemorate the Columbian ami
versary and to give that worthy woman
an appropriate place in history. The
members OF the board Of lady managers
from New York state adopted her and
her torch as a design for their seal.
