ATTORNEY KLINE'S ANSWER

To Charges of Bribery on tho Part Of
tho Standard OIL Company in Con-
ncction With Attorney General
Monnctt's Prosecutions.
CLEVELAND, O.. April 16.-virgil P.
Kline. one OF the counsel for the Stand
ard OIL Company, said to-day concern-
ing the statements OF Attorney General
Monnett, filed with the supreme court
yesterday: .5,
"Mr. Monnett is simply trying to kick
up dust TO cover his retreat. Four
weeks ago Mr.. Elliott and I, in q letter
which was handed to the attorney gen.
eral, demanded that he give the name OF
the man who fippantly and repeat
edly said made him an offer OF s4oo, 900.
After this lapse OF time he files RAM
bling statement. calling It an informa-
tion in contempt and In which he prays
that he requires some order or process
OF the court to assist him In complying
with our request. This Is puerile. He
does not need the aid of court to en-
able him to give the name OF his friends,
and he knows perfectly well that the
supreme court will not enter upon a
Wild goose chase. In his statement filed
Yesterday he does not say his friend Of
fered him q bribe. though he had dis
tinctly charged that heretofore. The
fact Is he knew perfectly well, whoever
his friend was. and whatever may have
transplred between them that he was
not being offered 4 bribe and that his
friend had no authority to speak for the
Standard OIL Company.

most Of them stood on the exposed FORE
castle with nothing but their blue jack
cts covering their shoulders and most
OF the time with their hats flying in the
air. Officers and men alike expressed
the greatest surprise at the demonstra-
tlon. and wondered what they had done
to warrant all the enthusiasm which
was being displayed. Many Of them
were heard to make remarks to the ef-
feet that the battle of Manila bay was
fought SO long ago that they had almost
forgotten 1t. but that 1t seemed the
American people remembered 1t still.
BY the time the Raleigh and her es-
corts reached the southern end of River
side Park, the rain had not abated in
the least. but the enthusiasm instead of
falling Off. increased both on the ves-
sells and on shore. The boulevard and
the paths in the park were crowded by
the people. who had been waiting there
an hour or more. all drenched and chilli
ed, but with the one thought OF doing
honor to the Raleigh. The two shore
batteries fired n salute near this point
and people along the shore In boat

cannon crackers, revolvers and shot
guns. while a half dozen locomotives on
the railroad track that runs along the
river added to the deafening noise by
blowing their whistles all the time the
Raleigh was passing.
Just before arriving almost of Grants
tomb, the cruiser slowed down prepara-
tory to turning and while the cheering
and whistle-blowing and other noises
were at their height. two six-pounders
on the Raleigh commenced their salute
Of twenty-one guns. The last shot had
hardly died away when the Alvarado
and Sandoval opened with their nation
al salute and a battery on shore Joined
In the tribute to General Grant. When
the salutes were concluded the Raleigh
turned slowly and headed down the
river. her escorts turning at the same
time. The run back to anchorage off
Thirty-fourth street was made slowly
and the same enthusiasm was displayed
as on the run up the river.

FRAUDS
Revived by the Investigation Of

Outrage on the Ballots.
GENUINE BALLOTS DISAPPEAR.
The Most Convincing Evidence OF
Fraud Before the Grand
Jury Given by Democrats.

GRAFTON, W. Va, April 15.-Thls
county is all torn up to-day over the
sensational report made yesterday
evening by the grand jury. which for
several days had been investigating the
election frauds of last November. The
astounding discovery was made that
another outrage had been committed
upon the ballots. Since they were re.
counted by the legislative committee,
about the first of February, the paper
sacks In which the committee sealed the
genuine ballots in each precinct, and in
which they likewise placed the sealed
envelopes containing the fraudulent
ballots, the names OF the committee be-
Ing written upon each sack across the
place where 1t was sealed, In every in
stance had disappeared and instead the
genuine ballots were found In open
sacks which We're similar, but which
were neither sealed nor had any writing
upon them, and the fraudulent ballots
and the envelopes were either gone or
misplaced.
Another Startling Discovery.
The report dlscloses another startling
discovery. and that is that the same
fraudulent changes we're made In favor
OF James Cans, Democrat, for county
commissioner. that were made In the
case OF Curry. SO that had these two
obtained their seats by recount, the
county court would have been solidly
Democratic; for Hamilton. Democrat,
had been elected by the returns, SO that
the plain purpose Of the fraud was to
make the county government sotidty
Democratic. send Dent to the legislu-
ture. and IL possible elect u Democrat
10 the United States senate.
The Democrats were the only benefi-
Charles to profit by the theft. Cans was
n member Of the grand jury, and was
loudest Of all in pronounclng the ball
lots fraud, though, somewhat amused
TO find that some ardent partisan had
been trying to steal a seat for him on
the county court.
Most Convincing Evidence.
The most convincing evidence OF
fraud before the grand jury was that
given by Democratic election officers
from the precincts In which the ballots
have since been fraudulently charged.
The grand jury reported that they
found the names OF Armstrong and Bro
hard fraudulently erased and those of
Curry and Dent fraudulently substi-
tutcd on many of the ballots, both eras-
u!es and substitutions having been done
by the same hand in all the several pre-
clncts, the perpetrator having used "an
!ndelib!e pencil. With a purple blush
tint"
Though the grand jury returns no
!lrdlng or to whose hand did the deed,
It's report concludes as follows:
1T is the unanimous opinion OF this
grand jury that there has been felony
committed upon the ballots of precincts
No.l and OF Grafton district. No. Of

t'There are several reasons" said
the secretary. for the rise in prices
of beef, and one of the most potent is
the increased purchasing power Of the
people, caused By the improved bust
ness conditions and better wages.
There is prosperity abroad in the land.
The people are buying more OF the
good things in life than they have at
any given time in the past three or

Everyone knows that tin plate
has advanced considerably in price
within the present year. The
Democratic theorists claim that
the advance in the United States
is due incidentally to the tin plate
trust and primarily to the tariff, it
being their theory that a protect
i've tariff is a promoter of trusts.
Now let us look at the prices
which the Welsh tin plate manu-
facturers receive. They now OBJ
tain $l.45 a box more than they
did in January last. This is a
greater advance than has been
made in the United States.
We respectfully ask our Demo
cratic friends to explain this. If
the protective tariff and the trust
caused the advance in the price of
tin plate in the United States.
what caused a greater advance in
price in Wales, where there is no
tariff at all? We pause for reply

point that should be noted, is the fact
that there is great falling off in the
number of beef cattle in the country,

THE reports to the department

the end OF the preceding year, and
