Did you have a conversation with
Senator Nebeker relative TO McCune' S
candidacy? l did.
In which a fve-thousand-do prop

ter was brought UP, l remember the
! conversation. One evening in my Office
Mr.. Nebeker and l were discussing the
situation at that time. There were a
great many rumors about various SEN
atorial candidates and what they were
doing, and / told him l had heard that
McCune was going to pay $1,000 a head
for votes, or something OF the kind
simply q. rumor.
Where did you get your information?
1 don't know; l didn't pay any atten-
ton to it at the time.
You don't know anything about
whether MIR. McCune ever did make an
offer either for himself or through any
one? No. sir.
Where did you make this statement
to Mr.. Nebeker? One evening along
shortly after the legislature began its
session.
It was before you made the speech
in the joint session in which you con-
veyed the idea that no improper means
were used by Mr.. McCune? 1t was be-
fore that.
You satisfied yourself in the mean
time that there was no truth in the ru-
NOR? 1 did not care anything about
the rumor. We heard so many rumors

About when and where? 1t was a
few days before Mr.. Law made his &C

Where was It? At the White House
What was the conversation? I went
terest of Mr. Cannon. He had been
elected by the Democratic party there
and thought he was obligated TO the
Democratic party; that Mr.. Callister
was a Republican, but the county went
Democratic and he was elected. l told
him he ought to try and break this
deadlock, and it would be better for
him and the Democratic party. He
asked me to suggest who he should
vote for. told him thought as little
as he could do was to vote for Frank
Cannon if he couldn't vote for a Demo-
crat. The conversation drifted along
until this money proposition came up,
and we discussed that for some time.
! asked him if he thought it was wrong
for man to vote for three candidates.
if they had equal ability and belonged
to the same party as he did-if it would
be wrong for him to vote, for either one
of those candidates, provided he had no
choice particularly. for the sum of four

II went to see Mr. Callister," said
he, at the start, ain the interest of
Frank j. Cannon. Mr. Callister was
elected partly by Democratic votes. and
told MIN l thought he ought to break
the deadlock and vote for Frank Can
non. Then we got to talking about the
use of money in the campaign, and I
asked him if he thought it was wrong
for a man to vote for man for money?
He said he thought it would be better
for the candidate to give the man the
money after he had voted than before.
l replied that then he would not have
to do it
WAS Mr.. McCune's name mentioned
during your talk?" asked Representa-
tive Stewart.

or five thousand dollars, and he said
he thought it would be wrong He
thought likely it would be better for
the man to give him the five thousand
dollars after he voted 1 told him he
wouldn't have to do it then. This con-
versation was just drifted into in that
way; not for any particular purpose
that know.
How did you happen to mention to
him about the consideration for his
vote? Well, I didn't make any offer;
just drifted into conversation.
What did you say to him? I said
! just what / have stated.
Did you mention Mr.. McCune in that
conversation? No. sir.
WAS AGAINST MCUNE.
Were you working in the interests
of Mr.. McCune? No, sir.
His name was net mentioned in con-
nection with the person? No, sir.
You were working in the interest of
Frank j. Cannon? Well, not particu-
1 larly. 1 was not working for any.
Have you worked in the interest of
Mr.. McCune? No, sir.
Not at all? No, sir.
Ever been up at mis- headquarters?
I have been there twice.
When was that? Shortly after I
came up and about a month ago, and
last evening.
You were there last evening? Yes,
sir.
At McCunes headquarters? Yes, sir.
Did you go there in the interest of
Mr. McCune? [ went there-I heard
about this statement Mr.. Callister had
made. and Mr.. Greenwood came oyer
and asked me to go over to headquar-
tiers, the McCune headquarters, and
wanted to know if 1 had stated that.
You had a conversation there, did
you? With Mr.. Thurman.
In regard to what you would testify
to here? AS to what | would testify
to here?
Yes? No, sir. They asked me if I
had made this statement to Callister.
! told them the way I understood it. L
believe 1 told them just about what
1 told him.
You mean to state to this commit
tee that you have had no interest
whatever in Mr.. McCune's candidacy?
Yes, sir.
Have you been approached by any of
his representatives to work in his in

CLOSING TESTIMONY.
Aouila Nebeker and D. h. Peery, Jr.,
Before the Committee.

Mr. Aquila Nebeker appeared before
the committee.
You are president of the senate? Yes.
sir
From what district? First district.
Do you remember having talk with
Representative Redd about a PROPOSE
ton being made of $1,000 TO vote for
Mr.. McCune? I do.
State what the conversation was?
The conversation, I think it was in the
Office Of the Walker House, and the
effect of it was that there was $1,000
in it for anybody who would vote for
Mr.. McCune. 1 got that information
from Henry Peery. He and l were
talking over the situation in his Of
flee. Henry Peery is here, and the COM
mittee need not get this thing third
handed.
Did any Of Mr.. McCune's representa-
tives, or Mr.. McCune himself, make an
offer of $4,000 through you? No, sir.
Do you know, of your own knowl-
edge, whether any such an offer has
been made by Mr.. McCune's represen-
tatives? Mr.. McCune and his repre-
sentativeS would not be very apt to
make an offer through me.
The charge has been made that such
an offer was made. This was in the
Walker House, and not on the floor
Of the house? No, sir; it was in the
Walker House. This man Redd told
a friend of mine that he wanted to
talk with me on several propositions,
and he has got this thing mixed.
State what conversation you had
with Mr.. Redd on that subject. / don't
know that 1 can state the exact CONVEX
sation. The effect of the conversation
was this: I said that I understood
there was 5000 for anyone to vote for
McCune.
Where did you get that? AS stated,
1 got it from Mr.. Peery. in his Office.
What was said as to that in Mr..
Peery's office? MI. Peery told me that
he understood there was $1,000 in a
vote for Mr.. McCune.
Didn't he state from what source he
got it? No, sir.

London, March 1.-THE Filipino Eu-
ropean junta has received the following
dispatch from Manila, dated Feb. %:
The last encounters have been real
battles. We now hold Pasig, Pater-
nos md Guadalupe. Our northern line
has advanced to TondO. The American
losses are far larger in proportion than
ours. We hold 500 Americans prisoners,
who will be taken into the interior. Not
one of our people has surrendered, and
our government maintains it's indie
pendence and will not yield.
A Filipino telegram from Cebu as
sests that the foreign residents have
asked the insurgents to withdraw in
order to avoid bombardment. The
Filipinos have acceded, trusting that
their action will be brought before the
foreign consuls, with the view of ar
ranging an equitable settlement with
the Americans.

GREAT NORTHERN STEAMSHIPS.
New Line Between Seattle and the
Orient


Seattle, Wash, March 1.-The Post
Intelligencer will say tomorrow: There
is understood to be one of the greatest
deals on hand as affecting the interests
of the northwest that has yet been ac-
complished. 1t is the building of sew
eral new steamships, which will be put
on a line between Seattle and the
Orient by the Great Northern Railway
company. This is supposed to be the
real significance of the present visit to
the sound of President Hill and other
prominent officials.
1t is the intention to run service
direct from Seattle to Yokohama. and
Hongkong, with other vessels going to
Vladivostock. For this it will be neces-
sary to have at least six vessels to give
a monthly service. There will be $780,
100000 spent on this enterprise. most of
which will go to purchasing and build
ing vessels. 1t is believed that it will
be at least year before the line is in
operation.
