The Charges Made.

The Charges Made.
Among other things the paper said
this:
Charges were made today that there
is in the senate bipartisan combin-
alton with permanent working agree
ment and that this combination has it
within its power to put any kind of
a bill through. no matter what the ma
ture of it's provisions. 1t was charged
that this combination has vise-like
grip, which when fixed on a bill Of a
senator outside the combination throt-
ties it to death without mercy.
These charges were made by two
senators outside the combination who
are sufficiently familiar with the
workings of the CLAM to know who all
the leaders are and to have line on
most of the subordinates who are eth
er under the personal influence of the
leaders or else believe they must vote
with the leaders in order to get recog.
milton for their own measures. One
senator, it is known, voted for what
he regarded as an iniquitous measure
because he believed that unless he
did SO the combination would kill a
bill which was near to his heart.
THE charges which are definitely
made by two senators are substantial
ed by several more from both parties
and for some time there has been talk
of a formal protest but the anti-com-
bination men finally concluded that
there was no one to whom they could
protest SO they have to grin and bear
it. In making the charges they with
hold their names because they do not
wish to stir up the enmity of the i'm
placable allies.
"The total strength of the combi
nation is said to be twenty-seven, and
,, on any bill which the combination
desires to pass the vote will be TWEEN
ty-seven to twenty-three, provided ali
of the differentiation men are op
posed.
Is Against the People.
| "This combination" said one sena
tor, has absolutely no regard for the
| welfare of the people. and its work
| has become so bold that even my con
| stituents back home have got next tt
| it simply by reading newspaper re
ports of the routine proceedings of the
senate. The work of the combination
| is too apparent. Members of the com
bination act as though they had things
| their own way. and they do have theil
own way. All they need worry about
| is getting their bills out of commit
tee. II they can once get their meas
ures to the floor Of the senate. no mat
ter how UBIQUITOUS or unimportant
they are and no matter how much i'm
portant legislation is waiting they can
get them through"
There was q great hustling around
among the senators when the paper
containing the article appeared last
evening. and there has even been talk
OF making an Investigation into the
facts. Just what the outcome will be

Makes Singing Charge.
Senator Volney Bingham Of st. 10.
seph county, made a singing charge
yesterday afternoon, when the mer-
chants bill for uniform bookkeeping
and accountig in public Offices was up
for passage. The bill as it was present
ed originally provided for the appoint
ment Of a bipartisan commission
which should serve as the state board
of inspection, and that the inspectors
should be appointed by the governor,
each party to have equal representa-
ton. The purpose was to make it alb
solutely non-partisan matter. But
yesterday the bill was amended in the
senate by strictly party vote so as
to make the board consist of the gov
ernor, the auditor of state and the
treasurer OF state, with the treasurer Of
state as chief Inspector. The republi-
cans voted for this amendment and
the democrats against it. The demo-
Gratis said that inasmuch as the Offices
of the auditor Of state and the treas
urer of state were two that he inspect
ed under this law these men should
not be members of the board that will
do the inspecting.
He Smoke Out In Meetin,
But it remained for Senator Bling
ham to speak out in meetin' when he
explained his vote:
1T was charged on the floor of the
senate this forenoon he said, that
this bill will create a political machine.
The republican members have not de-
MED that charge. It stands undenied.
In fact it is practically admitted by
the silence of the other side. And as
| am opposed to political machines l
vote no on the bill as it is amended -
The amendment of the bill was q
disappointment to the merchant asso-
Citations and commercial clubs through
out the state who were behind it and
were pushing it through.
to have the house restore the bill to
about its original form and send it
back thus amended to the senate.
The democrats say it will then be up
to the republicans to take the blame
for defeating its purpose.
Sensation Was Sprung.
A sensation was sprung by a local
paper yesterday afternoon with story
on the first page which purported to
set out the facts regarding an alleged
combination between lot of senators
to control legislation. The article in
question said that it is being charged
that members OF this combination help
each other to get through bills in
which they are interested and that
other legislation Is allowed to drag.
According to this article the COM
binati0n includes these senators:
Wood. Bland. Cox. Kane and Springer,
republicans; and Kistler. Stotsenburg.
Fleming. Shafer, Proctor and Bing-
ham. democrats. Among those who are
known not to be in the combination.
according to the story are Crumpacker.

100 RED MEN TO
 BE HERE JULY 5

Among the one hundred Indians with the 1O1 Ranch Wild West Show, which will make its appearance in this city on next Monday, are score of Osages, popularly known as the aristocrats of all North American redmen. The OsageS occupy the northeastern corner of Oklahoma and are the richest peo- pie inha biting this planet Every one of the 1883 members of the nation has Q cash balance of s4.644 deposited in Uncle Sam'S big bank at Washington, drawing 5 per cent. interest. In ad- !ition to this they have each S57 acres of land. Oil and mineral deposits on this land bring tremendous income.
 The Osage reservation borders the 100000 acres of Miller Bros., 101 Ranch in Northeastern Oklahoma. Pawhuska is the capitol end trading point. One may be afforded there the incongruous sight of a stalwart Osage, his feet en- cased in moccasins. his body wrapped in a blanket, bis shaven head uncov- cred. driving into town with his entire family in a comfortable modern car riage. Nevertheless, these Indians re- main extremely conservative, many of them living in the old elliptical brush houses. They are famous dancers and horse racers, and during many months of the year gather in camps where dances of many varieties are prolong- ed far into the night and where they play native games, sing songs of a for mer age and "smcke away" ponies.

New Propellers to Make
 Lusitania Speedier

New York, June 29-The Cunard li- ner Lusitania, which sails tomorrow for Liverpool with her first and sec ond class cabins full, will lie up for ten days on her arrival on the other side to have her propellers changed.
 The two large brass solid propellers on the high pressure turbines are to be replaced by two smaller ones which, it is hoped, will enable the liner to get away quicker on starting and give her more speed The manganese bronze propellers that were used once for the Mauretania will be placed on the two low-preSSure turbines of the Lusitania.
 The new propellers will measure about thirty feet in diameter and cost S10,000 each.
 In addition it is understood that the pitch will be altered by giving the pro- pellerS a twist that will get g, firmer grip on the water. It is hoped that when the Lusitania leaves Liverpool on her next voyage. July IT. she will be able to average twenty-six knots on her passage across, but it is not expected that she will take away the blue ribbon of the Atlantic from the Mauretania- She was considera bly, stiffened aft after her first trip, and is not so supple as her sister ship.
 On the Iusitania tomorrow go the officers and crew of the wrecked Sla- vonia to attend the British Board of Trade Inquiry, which will be held in the Admiralty Court, London They all still on aboard the Slavonia with Chief Officer Anderson, but they regret still more deeply the Captain's obliging disposition which caused him to take his ship seventy miles out of her di- rect course to Gibraltar and pile her on the rocks to gratify the whim of the passengers who had petitioned him to let them see beautiful Flores"
 Owing to the crowded state of the saloons the officers of the Slavonia will have to travel across in quarters spe- cially fitted up for them in the steer age of the Lusitania.

Immense Crowd to See Game at Yale
 Field This Afternoon.

 New Haven June 29.-AlI interest in Yale commencement exercises to-day centers around the annual commence ment baseball game which is to be played at o'clock this afternoon on Yale Field between the University nine and Harvard. The students and mem bers of the Alumni, garbed in fan tastic costumes, will fill the grand stand and bleachers to lend their voices to aid the efforts of the Yale batteries in downing the crimson This is the second game of the series and asNHar- ward has one of the games to her credit, the Yale nine must capture this game in order to break even. If Yale wins the third game of the series will be played in New York on Friday No tickets will be sold at the gates on ac- count of the great demand that has been made in advance for seats and it is estimated that between 10000 and 15,O00 people will see the game. The lineup of the Yale nine for this after non has not been settled as yet, but Harvard will probably have the same batting order as they had in the game against Yale last week The name. of the pitchers is still a matter of conjec- ture but it is probable that Hicks will start the game for Harvard and Mer- ritt for Yale. The probable lineup follows:
 Yale-FeIls, ss.; Murphy. cf.; Jeffer- son, h.; Logan, 3b.; Badger, 2b.; Mall lery. If; Philbin. C.; Rend, C.; Van Week If. or D.; Corey, If; Merritt, p.

TROLLEY STRIKERS
 WIN IN PITTSBURG
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Pittsburg, June 29.-The street car strike lasted just 50 hours. The final settlement of all difficulties between the Pittsburg Railways Company and the striking motormen and conductors was effected at 10:15 last night. follow ing a conference lasting all day, be- tween Mayor William A. Magee and representatives of the disputing fac tions.
 Early this morning every car on the system started running after com plete tie up of two days. There IS no doubt that the employees won their fight The only concession made by the strikers was the agreement to leave to arbitration the final decision in the case of Ashford. the motorman who was discharged for drinking while in uniform One concession after another was made by the traction officials. The most important granted was the agree ment to lessen the number of %short runs"
 Till the very last minute even of ficials of the company were skeptical over the chance for a peaceful settle ment. The task of notifying the strik- CTS in time to get crews to mann the cars at five o'clock this morning fell to the officials of the strikers They started to work at once Committees of the different local unions went scurrying in every direction to notify the men to report for duty and at 3 o'clock all working schedules were re- sumed.
 That the victory gained by the strik ing employees of the Pittsburg Railway Company was the greatest and most decisive ever won in this country by organized labor, is the opinion of Pres- ident w. D. Mahon of the Amalgamat- ed Association of Street Railway Elm ployes.
 Every point for which the men con- tested,'' declared Mahon today as he appeared Jagged out and nervous by his continuous work, has been con- ceded which is conclusive evidence that they were right in the position they had taken. The public supported nob- ly.'
 President J. D. Gallery of the traction company by the agreement signed ad- mits he and his company has been de- feated at every point and confines his remarks chiefly to thanking Mayor Magee for his good offices in settling the strike. Thus after a 50 hour strike in which not a single car was moved in Pittsburg and Allegheny Counties, the victorious motormen and conduc- tors are again running cars upon schedule time.
