CAMPAIGN FUNDS AND
 THE NATIONAL BANKS
SENATE WANTS TO KNOW IF IN- sTITUTIONS HAVE MADE
 CONTRIBUTIONS.

Secretary of the Treasury Directed 10
 RepOrt Whether or Not Bank Exami-
 rers, statements Show That Aid Has
 Been Gfven-SenatOr TiIlman's ResO-
 lution Adopted Without Opposition
 Insuranee Revelations Discussed.
 Washington, Dec. 1.-The subject or campaign contributions by insurance companies occupied the major portion of the time of the senate to-day It came LID in connection with MT. Till mans resolution calling for an lnVes- Higation of national banks aid in poll flies. In an address MT. Tillman dealt with the presidents recommendations for the punishment of bribery in cleo lions with Senator Platts testimony before the New York Investigating committee and with various other mat ters. The resolution directing the sec retary of the treasury to report Wheth- CT the reports of the national bank eN- aminers show that the banks nave made campaign contributions in recent wears was adopted at the close of MT Tillmans remarks.
 large number of bills were intro nuced, among them being the Jolnt statehood bill.
 MT. Tillman during his remarks said:
 "It has been shown by the testimony pr confession of @ member Of thls body" he said, that for ten, years the insurance corporations have been mak- ang annual donations to the republican party with tre understanding that they should be protected from adverse leg- tslation at Albany"
 Quoting the testimony of Senator Platt before the New York committee Mr. TilIman congratulated that sena- tor upon his straight forwardness.
 "There was no lodging" said he, sand I do not believe that a dollar of the money ever stuck to his fingers"
 He added his conviction, however, that the contributions had had the eff feet of controlling the New York leg tslature in the interest of the insurance companies.
 MT. Tii1n1an quoted the charges made by Judge Parker in the last campaign connecting the republican campaign contribution with the fact that Chair man Cortelyou had recently retired from the office of secretary of the de- partnent of commerce. He also quot ed the Presidents rely, which he said was "red hot" and added that not a dollar had been needed to elect him, although it had been shown that St, 900 had been contributed for that purpose that is, if the newspaper men snay be believed, and," he added, "they are about as reliable as any other class. They will lie sometimes as we do, and occasionally they get orders that such man shall be fly-blown. Then they proceed to plant the mi crobes, but upon the whole they may be depended upon"
 He also made reference to the charge that large expenditures had been made by the democrats in the Cleveland campaign, saying 1t would have been fortunate for the democratic party if MT. Cleveland had never been elected.
 He closed with an appeal for a thor ough investigation, saying that such a course was necessary to restore the confidence of the public.
 The resolution was adopted without opposition.

JEROME AT THE INQUIRY
ATTENTION DIRECTED TO POSSE
 BTLITY OF CRIMINALACTION.
District Attorney Wants to Know When He Can Get Possession of Report of the Insurance Investigating Commit tee-Chairman Armstrong Hopes to Have It Ready Next Month.

New York, Dec. 7.-Attention was di- rected to the possibility of criminal &C., tion growing out of the investigation of life insurance methods by a visit paid by District Attorney W. T. Jerome to the legislative committee while it was holding its hearing to-day. MT. Jerome said that he wanted to find out when he could get possession of a copy of the report of the committee. Chairman Armstrong already has said that he hopes to have it ready for the legisla- ture when it meets next January.
 Counsel for Thomas F. Ryan, who bought the James H. Hyde stock of the Equitable Life Assurance society, con- ferred with Charles E. Hughes, counsel for the Investigating committee, to-day and said afterward that MT. Ryan is holding himself in readiness to testify before the committee.
 One of the points brought out by MT. Hughes in to-day's hearing was the fact that the Mutual Reserve Life In- surance company has paid $1S4,OO0 to the widow of Edward B. Harper, the former president of that company, since NH f1dTp6r u6hLu Ill IoVos luG nLOtlSy is derived from commissions which for mer President Harper drew on all the business written by the company. His widow, who has since remarked, con- tinues to receive the commissions.
 Incident to this inquiry MT. Hughes discovered an instance in which $S,OOO had been paid to President Frederick A. Burnham, of the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance company, in 1896, and concerning which Vice-President George D. Eldredge, of that company, testified that he knew nothing The bookkeeper, who made the payment from a contin- gent fund, said he did not know what 1t was for.
 The affairs of the Security Mutual Life Insurance company, of Bingham ton, N. Y, again were under investiga- tion to-day. One of the interesting facts brought out was the statement of President Charles M. Turner, of that company, that he had employed few years ago D. H. Keefer, one of the clerks in the office of the superintend- ent of insurance at Albany, to act as consulting actuary of the Security Mu- tual company at $1,000 a year. For all MT. Turner knew, he said, the arrange ment is still in force.

WILD WEST STUD EL1MINATED
Every Horse Killed to Eradicate the
 Glanders.
