WITH USING MONEY
TO HELP ELECTIONS OF cANDI-
DATES TO RElcHsTAG, WHO
ARE FRIENDLY TO THE GERMAN
GOVERNMENT.

Berlin, February 81 he government has
been accused by certain center party
newspapers OF using money through the
erman Naval league, TO help candidates
for the Reichstag who were friendly to
the government. The Bavarian Courier
today published letters of Major General
Klein, one OF the most active managers
of the Naval league and of other persons
from which the paper asserted the in
ference could be drawn that money had
been sent from the imperial chancellors
bureau to the Naval league.
The Loxal Anzeiger says 1t has been
informed by the Naval league that num-
Der OF letters marked CONFIDENTIAL" have
been stolen from the headquarters of
the league and that the thieves ransacked
the rooms where the correspondence was
kept some days before the election. 1t
is reported that some Of the most in
terestng letters are being kept back for
publication later. when the controversy
regarding the Naval leagues activity
reaches the Reichstas.

IN THE SENATE.

Washington, February 9.-The army ap
preparation bill and memorial exercises
for the late Representative Marsh of Ii
lnois, occupied practically the entire day
in the Senate today. Discussion of the
army appropriation bin was unusually IN
teresting for the reason that 1t branched
off on American occupation OF Cuba, the
plans for the equipment of state militia
with regulation arms, and the proposed
authorization to the war department to
accept reduced fare or free Transportation
for troops and supplies. The latter was an
echo of the debate on the railroad rate
bill at the last session of Congress.
A number of unimportant bills were
passed without debate.
Senator Cullom and Senator Hopkins de-
