THE CASE OF Mr.. HANNA.
A Senate Committee Reports ms TO tho
Charges Against the Ohio Senator.

Charges Against the Ohio Senator.
Washington, March 1.-Senator
Chandler, from the committee on privi-
leges and elections, yesterday present
ed to the senate the report of that COM
mittee on the charges of bribery in the
election to the senate of NJ. A. Hanna,
as made by the Ohio senate. The re-
port sets out that no direct remon-
STRANGE setting out that Mr.. Hanna
was not elected or ought to be expelled
from the senate has been received by
the senate. He also shows that no one
has appeared before the committee and
that no papers have been received be-
yond the formal report of the action
of the state senate. Notwithstanding
these failures the committee has inves-
tigated the charges.
1t finds that there is no proof sub
mitted either that Mr.. Hanna was
elected senator through bribery, or
that he had any agents engaged in car
rying on his canvass for the senate
who were directly or impiiedly author
lied by him to resort to corrupt meth
DDS or TO any form of wrong-doing, or
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 fore
going propositions"
In view of these facts the committee
on privileges and elections has reached
the conclusion that 1.-The United States
senate is not called uon 10 take any
action in the premises. The utmost
fact which the committee of the state
senate claims to have proved IS that an
attempt was made to bribe Mr.. Otis,
which failed"
A minority report signed by Senators
Turley, Pettus and Caffery was pre-
sented. This report takes the position
that a further investigation should be
made and enters fully into the state
ment of the case presented by the Ohio
senate. The minority contends that
the attempt on the part of Boyce to
buy Otis vote for Mr.. Hanna is clearly
proved by Campbell.

do, who were permitted to pass through
our lines and confer with Aguinaldo
with reference to the Spanish prison
ers at Malolos, returned through our
lines Monday morning, near Coloocan,
with a sealed dispatch for the Span
iards. The commissioners said that
Aguinaldo and Sanduiko were both at
Malolos and inclined to pacific over
lures. While the Filiblnos are not YETI
pared to surrender the Spanish prison
ers, they will gladly release two Amer
leans who have been held for six weeks,
on the payment of $40, the value of food
and clothing furnished to them.
Shortly afterwards the rebels sent
out flag of truce borne by Command
ant Sinforoso de la Cruz, and several
hundred of the enemy left the Filipino
lines crying "No quire!" MAS Com
bate!" "Americanos Mucho Bueno"
The commandante said that fully 5000
of his men had had enough, and were
anxious 10 surrender.
Among the enemy in the jungle many
women and children were visible. A
woman laid down her rife and at
tempted to cross with the parleyers,
but she was sent back.
After the party returned to the Amer

a volley, the bullets dropping at their
feet.

Otis Acts with Propriety.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-The officials
at the war department were asked Mon
day why Gen. Otis had refused to rec
ognize the commissioners who had
come to Manila from the insurgent
headquarters at Malolos when they
came to seek peace. The reply was
that Gen. Otis was acting with the
greatest propriety in this matter. He
was careful not to commit his gov
ernment to any recognition of Agui-
naldo that would make precedent, and
then there was always the best rea-
son for Withholding confidence in
every act of the insurgents where the
placing of trust would imperil Amer
lean lives and interests. The Filipino
insurgents will have no difficulty in Sc
curing amnesty, it is said if they lay
down their arms and submit uncon-
ditionally, for there is no purpose on
the part of the American commanders
to wreak vengeance upon a submissive

MAGNETIC VARIATION.
Investigation Being Made by Engineers
at Rising Sun.

J.. A. Bauer and an assistant OF the Coast
and Geodetic Survey and the Maryland Geo
logical Survey are at Rising sun making
magnetic survey to ascertain how much the
surveyors needle varies from the true north.
The ocal disturbances, caused partly by the
magnetic ores in the ground greatly affect
the needle in that section. On account of
this 1t was necessary to run the Mason and
Dixon line through that part of the State by
the stars at night. Approximately, in l7l0
the needle in that section pointed six degrees
west of north, and in $500 ono degree west

lished and the variations ascertaned each

culations in order that he may run his line

MILLIONS OF SHAD.
Work Of Government Hatchery at Havre
de Grace.

The operations for the season OF 1899
have just been concluded at the Battery
Station, on the Susquehanna river at
Havre de Grace, by the United States Fish
Commission.
The season just finished might be con-
sidered the most successful since the es-
adjustment OF the station some 20 years
ago. When the work was first begun all
the spawn was taken by employees of the
Government. A large force Of men known
as spawn takers were employed at the bat
terry and each day these were distributed
by the Government launches to the various
fishing boats, leaving one spawner in each
boat, to squeeze the ripe shad and attend
to the development Of the eggs, until they
were delivered to the station where arti-
fetal propagation goes on. The fishermen
were given a ticket for each shad
"squeezed," which the Government re-
deems at the rate OF % cents per ticket.
For the past two seasons the fishermen have
been encouraged to take their own spawn,
and the result of the season of 1893 as
well as the present one shows the new de-
parture to be highly beneficial to the work
of the Commission.
Last season so many eggs were taken
that the facilities at the Battery were not
equal to the task of taking care of them,
and millions were distributed without
going through the Matching process. This
season, however, due allowance was made
for heavy production of spawn, and as a
result, The total amount Of eggs delivered

SWEPT BY FLAMES.
The Town Of Laurel, Delaware, Almost
Destroyed by Fire.

Fifteen acres of charred and blackcnt d
ruins mark the greater part of the site on
which Laurel stood on Friday. Fire
swept through the village of 5000 in.
habitants early last Saturday morning,
destroying the business section, the two
hotels and all the leading buildings, en-
failing a loss that will probably reach half
a million dollars. In the destroyed SEQ
ton were 62 stores, % houses and 81
stables making total of III buildings
completely destroyed, in addition to many
more which were damaged. Assistance
was asked for from Salisbury, Md; POGO
moke City, Md, and Wilmington, where
engines are located. The three cities
responded, but when the tiremen and their
apparatus arrived the fire had gained such
I Roadway that it was hard fight to con-
quer the flames.
The great fire is a result Of a town wait
ing too long to secure fire protection. For
number of years many citizens of Laurel
have been fighting for water works, and at
recent election, after big fight at the
polls, it was decided to have the works.
Operations on the plant were in progress
when the fire occurred.
The fire started about , o'clock Sltu:-
day morning in the pool room OF j. j.
Laramer, in the centre of the business sec
ton. Waterman Ward ran toward the
Laurel Hotel for assistance, aud it later
developed that lamp had been left burn
