BRIBERY
The House Orders a Full ~Investioa.
ton Of the Matter.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Immediately
after the house convened yesterday
the members of the committee on nav.
al affairs who had been investigating
the Lessler bribery charges filed into
the house and Mr.. Foss (Ill.), chair.
man of the committee, was Immediate
ly recognized to offer a resolution
to order a full investigation of the
charges. The resolution was as fol
lows:
Whereas, Information has come
to the committee on naval affairs
through a member of said committee,
of an attempt to c%orruptly influence
his action respecting proposed legis-
lation pending before said committee,
and the house.
Resolved, That the committee on
naval affairs, or such subcommittee
thereof as said committee may ap-
point, be and hereby authorized and
directed to fully investigate said mat
ter, and for such purpose it is here
by authorized and empowered to send
for persons and papersl to compe,
the attendance of witnesses and to
administer oaths; said committee
shall have authority to report at any
time, and the expense incurred here
under shall be paid out of the con
tingent fund of the house on vouch-
ers approved by the chairman"
MI. Foss explained that the action
of the committee was unanimous and
demanded the previous question.
Mr.. Richardson (Tenn.) interposed
to suggest that the charges were
vague and indefinite. No names were
given and it seemed to him that some
thing more definite should be vouch-
safed the house. Still, he said, he
would not insist if the committee
were satisfied.
ASK for the NAME" cried Mr.. Sui
ger IN. Y.) from his place in a side
aisle.
Mr.. Wheeler (Ky.) assured Mr..
Richardson that the minority of the
committee were satisfied, whereupon
the latter yielded and the resolution
was unanimously adopted.
The house then proceeded with the
Philippine coinage bill.

LYNCH GUILTY
OF TREASON
CONVICTED OF TAKING UP ARMS
AGAINST ENGLAND.
DEATH SENTENCE PASSED
Counsel Contends That Accused Join.
ed Boer Army in Belief That
He Was NaturaIized.

London, Jan. 23.-When the trial
of Colonel Arthur Lynch, member of
parliament for Galway, on the charge
of high treason, was resumed, counsel
for the defense began summing up.
There was no attempt to deny that
Colonel Lynch supported the Beers,
but counsel contended that his natu-
r%alization was in nc way prompted
by reasonable intent and solely for
the advantage he would thus secure
for journalistic purposes. Subsequent
ly the defendant actively supported
the Boer cause in the belief that he
was a legally naturalized burgher.
The jury, after having been out
half an hour returned a verdict of
guilty.
When asked if he had anything to
say as to why he should not be SEN
fenced to death, Colonel Lynch re-
piled:
THANK you, l will say nothing"
The sentence of death was passed
on each of the four counts in the in
dictment.
The prisoner then bowed to the
court and was removed in custody.
Bears Himself with Composure.
Lynch throughout bore himself with
composure. He walked out steadily
between the jailers and past the
bench where his wife and other rela-
tives were seated. Mrs. Lynch has
been given permission 10 see her hus-
band.
Although formally sentenced to be
hanged, Lynch's sentence will no
doubt be committed.

THEY. ARE REPUBLICAN,.
EIkins Tells Hanna About Oklahoma
and New Mexico.

Washington, Jan. 22.-There is no
escape from the proposition that Mr..
Quay is in control of the senate and
has a clear majority in support of
the omnibus statehood bill. Senator
Hanna fears both New Mexico and
Arizona, with Oklahoma also, will be
democratic. Mr.. McCumber won't
admit this. He feels positive that
New Mexico will be republican and
Oklahoma also. If indian Territory
is not attached to it. Senator Elkins
had a conference with Mr.. Hanna re-
garding the statehood bill, and said
he would give Hanna his personal
check for $4,000 if either New Mexico
or Oklahoma went democratic next
year, provided they were admitted,
''and if they are admitted" he added,

Fort Fired First.

Berlin, Jan. PA report of the
commandment of Fort San Carlos,
Venezuela, was received at the navy
department at noon today, but it is
being communicated to the imperial
chancellor before being published.
The foreign Office has not received
IN representations from Secretary
Hay relative to the bombardment.
The official report of the lombard
ment of Fort San Carlos arrived in
the shape of a dispatch from the com
mander of the Fake dated Willem-
stadt, Island of Curacao, January %,
saying he had received information
from Maracaibo that Fort San Carlos
had been shelled and set on fire by
the Vineta and Panther and had ulti-
mately been destroyed.
The Lokal Anzeiger says it has re-
ceived information to the effect that
Commodore Schneider reports that
Fort San Carlos fired on the Panther
first as the cruiser was feeling her
way into the inner harbor channel.
