A SERIOUS CONTEMPORARIES.
Col. Whallen Accuses senator IIarrel
of obtaining Money Under
False Pretenses.

Louisville, KY, Jan. Col. John II.
Whalen, who is now under bond on a
charge of offering "a $500 to Senator S.
b. Ilarrel for the latter's vote against
VIM. Goebel, in the organization of the
Legislature, yesterday swore out war
rant against Harrel, charging the lat
ter with obtaining money under false
pretenses. Whallen filed lengthy atli-
davit, in which he claims to have been
victim of misplaced confidence. He
stated that Senator Harrel came to
him and said that he was against Goe-
bel, but that he (HarreD had already
accepted $500 to vote for Goebel and
had promise from Goebel of the SUI
perintendency of the Hopkinsyille asy-
lum, but that he could not support
ioebel, As he wanted to repay the
Goebel manager his money and put
himself on sure footing he said he
wanted $4,000.
Whallen says that $1,000 of his mon
ey was given Harrel; that Whallcn
kept $500 and put the balance in box
$50 of the safety vault of the Louisville
Trust Co., and that llarrel obtained
this money on false pretense, as it
was false that he had already received
$500 from a representative of Goebel,
Whallen says that ON his advice num-
Der Of his friends had bet large sums
of money that Goebel would not be
elected governor ofKentucky, and that
after the election by Whallcn's advice,
his friends had bet large sums OF
money that Goebel would not be seat
ed by the legislature.
He says the money paid to Harrel
was his own and paid by him with the
desire to protect himself and his
friends against the loss of money
wagered, and TO restore IIarrel to such
position as would enable him, without
pecuniary loss, to act according to
what Ilarrel represented to be the true
dictates of his conscience

BUBONIC PLAGUE AT MANILA.
Surgeon Greenleaf Cables thBtThree
Cases of BubOnie Plague Have
Been Discovered.

Washingtos Jan. 9.-1he plague has
broken out in Manila beyond a doubt,
as appears from the following cable
gram received by Surgeon General
Sternberg:
Manila, Jan. 6.-Three bubonic ma
tives.
"GREENLEAF."
The signer Is Col. Greenleaf, assist
ant surgeon general ard chief sur
gCon in the Philippines.
It was suspected last week that the
disease had obtained a foothold in Ma
Mia but it was not until Col. Green
leafs report that the fact was estab-
iished. The first effect will probably
be to have quarantine laid upon all
shipping coming from Manila. The
town will be placed under the most
rigid sanitary regulations, and this
work will be undertaken by Col.
Greenlcaf, pending the arrival at Ma
Mia of the marine hospital service Off
GERS, now on the way. Gen, Sternberg
says that Col. Greenleaf is exceptional
ly well fitted to cope with the present
emergency, and he has no doubt that
the disease will soon be stamped out.
1t is noted that the cases of plague re-
ported are confined to the native class,
and it is said that that has been the
cases in Asia where the disease has APP
paared. 1t is notably true of Hong
Kong, where it has existed for many
months, without causing, any consid-
cradle fatality among the European
population. 1t was probably from
Hong Kong that the disease found its
way to Manila. The medical officers
have been all along on the watch to
prevent this, but owing TO the close
ness of traffic carried on by native
iunks and dhows, the ultimate intro
duction of the disease into Manila was
