STEAMER HORNET SAILS
ON MYSTERIOUS VOYAGE

Searched Former Gunboat
on Honduras Request.

ough search by federal authorities to
make sure that she carried no military
equipment to be used in g. revolutionary
expedition, weighed anchor shortly be-
fore noon today and sailed on her mys-
terious voyage to Central American wa
tiers.
Acting upon representations made by
the Honduran minister at Washington
that the old United States g,nboat Hor-
net is being fitted out at New Orleans
for the use of hostile expedition di-
rected against the government Of Presi-
dent Davilla of Honduras, the Secretary
of State took steps to prevent the de-
parture Of the Hornet on any such mis-
sion. A close surveillance was main
tained over the vessel by agents of the
Department Her papers were closely
scanned and inquiries were instituted to
ascertain the existence of an armed
expedition.
Search Made of Vessel.
The vessel was also thoroughly search
ed by revenue cutters officers to
make sure that she carried no military
stores that might be used by filibusters.
1t was realized. however. that the Hornet
might meet another vessel at sea and
embark men and arms. Or they might
be taken aboard at some little-frequented
Central American port. as was done in
the case of the Venus. which was pur-
chased by the Madriz faction in Nicaragua
to operate against Estrada.
The department officials felt that 1t was
their duty to prevent repetition of that
affair, SO orders were sent to the COM
p,ander. Of the u. S. steamer Tacoma.

prevent the landing on the Honduran

the frontier into Salvador, including the

Senator BURROWS, chairman or the coh-

presented TO the Senate the report OF the
investigation of charges of bribery made
In connection with the election OF VIII
liam Lorimer as a senator from Illinois
The conclusion reached by the committee
was as follows:
That in their opinion the title ot MI

been shown to he invalid by the use or
employment of corrupt methods or prac-
tees
charges that four members of the IL
rino,s legislature were bribed and that
three other members paid bribes are not
ignored by the committee. The report
declares that those who confessed to re-
ceiving bribes should not be believed. anu
that the votes of those who were cnarseu
with having bribes should be counted
In relation to the charges that there
was corruption fund used in the I'LL

Votes Required to Elect.

The report is divided into chapters each
CARRYING a subhead. Under the caption
Votes Required to Elect the committee
points out that the question is raised by
counsel whether the Iangus I of the stat
ute regulating the election of United
states senators requires that in order
TO elect a senator the person elected must
receive a majority of the votes of all the
members elected 10 each house of the
legislature. or whether il is sufficient il
one person receives a majority of all the
votes Cat in the joint assembly "a ma
lority of all the members elected TO both
houses being present and voting" The
committee report says on this subject
This question seems to have been de-
Cided by the Senate in the case of Lap
ham against Miller tSenate election cases
Ga7i In that case it was held that a ma
iorjty of a quorum OF each house is suffi-
cent 10 elect. and in that decision the
committee concur.
Under head OF Bribery the commit
toe says:
In a number of cases that have been
before the Senate of the United States it
has been held that to invalidate the cleo
ton OF "A senator on account OF bribery
IL must be made to appear. either
First. That the person elected par
ticipated i'm one or more acis of bribery
or attempted bribery. or sane Toned or en-
couTaged the same. or
Second. That by bribery or corrupt
practices enough votes were obtained for
him to change the result of the election -
Lorimer Not Accused.
Testimony is quoted by the report to
show that at the outset of the investiga-
tion counsel for the Chicago tribune
'who conducted the inquiry against Sena-
tor Lorimer) announced that he did not
expect to connect Senator Lorimer with
any acts of bribery.
Attention is directed to the denial made
by Senator IOrimer in the open Senate
of any act of bribery on his part i'm CON
nection with his election, and to his de-
mand for N investigation. In that con
nection the report quotes the resolution
after which the following is set forth:
1T should further be stated that there
was no testimony offered during the in
Vestigation which would tend in the re-
hottest degree to implicate Senator Lon
uer in any personal act of bribery or at
tempted bribery or corrupt practices OF
any nature.

Mr.. Beveridge to Study Report.
The repor rs presented was not signed
by members of the committee. although
il did not appear that there was any
minority. On the floor of the Senate,
however. Mr.. Beveridge made the state
ment that he had not been able to con-
cur with or dissent from the findings
because of the voluminous character of
the testimony.
He said that ne would digest the pro-
ceedings Of the investigating committee
during the holidays. He asked that a
specific time be named for acting upon
the report, but objection was made by
Senator Gallinger on the ground that the
matter was privileged and could be called
ntor.
Views Of Senator Frazier.
The statement of views sent to the
committee by Senator Frazier. who was
q member of the subcommittee which
