The Ciermau Consul at Apia, Samoa,
from the latent dispatches from that

The iiribery Investigating Commit

report to the House Monday afternoon.
The majority report, which is signed by
live members of the committee, recom

minority rejiort, signed by four mem

None of the big universities of the
Stite will get auythiug from the pres

Pennsylvania, the Lehigh Uuiversity,
and the Western Pennylvania Univers

Sl-Vl.OXl to 500,000, but the House Ap
propriation Committee, not seeing its
way clear because of the lack of reve
nue, permitted the bills to die in com
mittee. All of these uui verities have
had a share of the State's money, aud
it is time they were self-sustaining
Tue State at present has all it can do to
pay its honest debts without showering
a large sum of money on institutions
that are uot of a State character except

A ca rf.fi; l summary of the many
advances iu the w ages if employes that
have been made during the year by
manufacturing eoir.paides and others
shows a mast remarkable aggregate, af
fecting, as it does, TiVl.noO individuals.
Of these at least Clito.OOO art; in iron and
steel aud allied indjs!ries, li,000 iu
cotton mills, a small uumber in woolen
mills, and the rest, ab.mt 210,000 in
number, in miscellaneous industries.
1 n every increase in wages of this char
acter the uumber reported is always
much smaller than the total affected.
It is no exaggeration to say that nearly
a million employes, representing a pop
ulation of 5,0ij0, find their income
greater by one-tenth to one-fifth, while
Cieir expenses are little, if any, in
creased. When President McKir.ley and the
representative of Spain in this matter,
Minister Cambon, of France, exchang
ed the ratifications of the Paris treaty,
Thursday, in Washington, the state of
war between the United S:ates and
Spain came to an official end. On
April 21, 1S9S, the war officially began.
The protocol was issued on August 12,
the treaty was signed on December 10,
and the United States ratified it on Feb
ruary 6, 199, Spain's acceptance, by
the band of the Queen Regent, coining
a few week's later. Just 113 days pass
ed between the beginning of the war
and the end of the fighting, at the tign
ing of the protocol. One year, less ten
day, intervened between the Cicial
ojieniug and the official t Ir of the
struggle.
The much advertised break from the
Q tay columns In the Senatorial fight
occurred at the joint session Tuesday
when Senator C. L. Maeee and bis fol
lowers who have heretofore been vot
ing for Quay forsook bis flag and cast
their ballots for Hon. Ii. F. Jones, of
Pittsburg. The ballot, the 7Mh taken
during the contest, rttulted : Quay 83,
JpDks S5, Jones 63. As the Legislature
it if huluhd to adjourn at noon to
mrrow, Thursday, the ballot of to-day
w ill be the la-rt one taken and the prob
abilities all are that adjournment will
take place, wititout a Senator lieing
el.T-ied. If-iiK-h is the ease the ni-on-Bibility
will rest solely with the Imlters,
bo refuted to support the regular par
ty nominee and to acknowledge the
principle of majority rule.
Ar A conference of tile members of
the Legislature who have been support
ing ex-Senator uay, held at Harris
burg Monday eight, it was promptly
and naturally decided that the major
ity could not treat with the loiters, aud
to continue steadfast in theirsupportof
the party nominee to the end, as they
were in duty and honor bound to do.
As was to I expected, Senator Magee
anuouueed that he would no longer be
bound by the caucus pledge, but would
-at his vote or. the remaining ballots
for another than Mr. Quay. The Quay
people have all along been prepared for
the announcement by Senator Magee
that be and his followers would leave
the Quay rauks, and were not surprised
when it was made. Senator Grady,
who presided at the conference, read
the letter addressed to him last week
by Senator Flinn, asking for a confer
ence, aud also the following communi
cation from Colonel Quay, received by
Senator Grady ;n answer to a notice of
Mouday night's meeting:

Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, education, or training was he
capacitated to fill the Presidency. He
said that he was too well along in life to
consider such a possibility. His health
would not admit it. All his life's work
was in different lines of effort, aud that,
while the kindness and enthusiasm of
his friends were grateful to him, aud the
generous tributes of the American people
were dear to him, he could not and would
no-, be a candidate for the Presidency of
the United States under any condition.

At Tuesday night's session of the Bri

butg the principal interest centered on

leged to have offered f.j,l0to Representa
tive William It. Wilson, of Westmore
land county, if he would change his vote
from Colonel Huff to Senator Quay $SiW
down aud the balance after he bad voted?
Mr. Wilson's testimony was given the
middle of last week, but Mr. Byrne's
attorney stated that it was his client's first
opportunity to be present.
on be-'n g asked if he was personally
acquainted with Representative Wilson,
Mr. Byrne replied in the aftlrma ive.
He was next asked if he had offered Mr.
Wilson a bribe to change his vole on the
Senatorship and he replied emphatically
in the negative, aud said on further ques
tioning that he bad not attempted in any
way to influence Mr. Wilson's vota. He
was told to go ahead and make a state
ment exonerating himself, but responded
thai he hail none to make, but would an
swer any questions the Committee wished
to ak, and Mr. Byrne left the stand.

trial of ex-Senator M. S. Quay, in Phila
delphia, last week. Listrict Attorney
Rjtherintd conducted the proaeut:oo,
with Assistant Lislrict Attorneys Fin
letler aud Clement. A. S. I Shields,
Rufus Suapley, both of tbe Philadelphia
bar, and D. T. WaLsuii, of PitUburg, are
Mr. Quay's counsel.
i if the several indictments, tha ono se
lected for trial was that charging B. J.
Haywood and M. S. Quay with conspira
cy to make profit out of sta e money, de
posited in the People's bank of Philadel
phia, and to use the money for purposes
not allowed by law. Mr. Haywood hav
ing recently diid Senator Q'lay stands
alone in this Indictment. The cAse wa
taken up Monday morning and a jury
was obtalued without much, difficulty;
one member of it is a colored man.
Assistant District Attorney Finletter
opened for the prosecution, outlining their
case, and explaining that the conspiracy
would be proven by the records of the
bank, extending back for twenty year.
The law to which he called especial at
tention was the constitutional provision
that the state treasurer shall make no
profit out of th fuuds of the state in his
charge, neither shall he use them for any
purpose not allowed by law; and the
further statutory provision that be may
not loan or deposit them in auy way from
which he may reap a beuefiu

pissession of the private memoranda of
Cashier Hopkins, together with letters
and telegrams from Qtiay, Haywood and
others, among w hieh was the famous
"plum tree"' telegram, tlestated that he
took the private memoranda, letters,
etc, fmm Cashinr Hopkins' private desk
mi th -:h of March, 1-, at the suggfcs
tion of some unknown person, who tele
phoned him from Harrisbnrg that there
were important documents there, which
the Unknown was informed were likely
to be taken by some one else that night.
Mr. Barlow handed ail these over to
Judge Gordon that evening, after exam
ining them, and the j idg.i bad possession
of them until sometime in September,
wh -n he ( Ft.irlow) g it them again. Since
then he had shown them to ex-Attorney

the prosecution claims are of interest paid
Quay, Haywood and others for the use of
Btale funds. This book is arbitrarily de
signaled the "Red Book."
Judge James Oay Gordon was the sec
ond witness. He testified to having ob
tained, in his capacity as intimate friend
of James McManes, president of the
People's bank, all th'ise bn.ks, letters,
el;., taken out of Hopkins's private desk
by Mr. Bailow. The first ftarion he
shmed them to was David Martin, who
had first told him of their existence; the
second was John Wanamaker, who saw
them for about ten minutes. Afterward
he showed some of them to Colonel
Guffey, of Pittsburg, member of the
democratic national committee. He had
some of them photographed
The defence tried to bring out that Gor
don had used tli'-m in an effort to have
himself elected governor of Pennsylva
n's. but the court would not permit.
The pniseculion then tried Ua e these
private papers admitted as evidence;
this precipitated an argument which was
not concluded until Wednesday morning
After this argument was concluded on
Wednesday, Judge Biddle decided that
all the Uoks should be submitted as evi
dence exeerit the "Red Book," found iu
Hopkins' dtk. As regards its admission
be was not clear and would hear further
argument later on.
This is the book containing what the
prosecution claims are calculations of in
terest paid various state treasurers. Sena
tor Qimy and C. H. McKee, of Pittsburg,
on money of the state deposited in the
People's bank.
The letters and telegrams were all ad
mitted, the defense objecting. Ex-District
Attorney Graham was called to identify
two of them. He testified that Senator
Quay had admitted having sent them at
the preliminary hearing.
A w hole day was occupied in examin
ing clerks and officers of the bank as to
the manner of doing busiuess and iu
verifying the Isxiks of record. Clay Keiu
ble, for a time assistant cashier of the
bank, and one of the board of directors.
testified thit he had never seen the "Rwl
Bonk" before ; that most of the entries
were iu Hopkins' haud writing, but that
the entries "Q'ny," "C. H." and "C. II
McK." opposite what are allege to ba
interest payments on state funds, were
not made by Hopkins. In this be was
contradicted by W. E. Hagan, of Troy,
X. Y., cilied as an expert in handwriting.
Mr. Kemble denied that he was prose
cutor in the case. The District Attorney
said that ex-District Atruey Graham
was the prosecutor, b t this counsel for
defense heatedly denied.
An entry in the minute book of tha
bank, identified as in the handwriting of
Hopkins, stating that the bank had agree !
to loan JlOO.OuO to Senator Arthur Ken
nedy and Richard R Q'lay, Senator Quay
to indorse bis son's note, was admitted as
evidence, tho question of whether this
connects Senator Q'lay with a conspiracy
to lie considered later.
State Treasurer Ileacvn was called
merely to prove one signature. The dis
trict attorney then o.Tdrel bi:ik books in
evidence not including "Ud Bjok" and
after a sharp encounter they were ad
mitted by court. Subsequently Kxpert
Goldsmith was called and a question was
asked by the commouwealtu which re
quired au answer bearing up in insuii
rands in the "Red Ifciok."

court made two rulings in favor of tho
defense, one decidiug that the books

Lincoln, Neb.. April 13. A petition
igned by the parents of wveral hundred
members of the First Nebraska Ki'tfiniciit
was forwarded to President MiKiuby
to day. D says :
"We iiruily but respectfully dein nnl.
not as a favor but as a right that no politi
cal policy or sophistry or leg d subterfuge
can dcoy, the immediate return of he
entire regiment. We deny the righl of
the government to compel them as vol
unteers and a member of a regiinest
that his git'en longer, more cootiuiious
and valuable service than the majority of
regiments to longer remain in tha Philip
pines. We honor them as the host type
of American soldier the natiou has yet
produced. They have accomplished more
than was asked of them. Their valor
and the sympathy of their relatives have
been made the prey of political syco
phants, and they have been refused the
meagre compliment of official recogn ition
by the executive of their own state.
With all due respect to your high olKce,
we, as sovereign Americans, call upon
you to return our sons. We have fulfill
ed our contracts as loyal citizens, so have
our sons. We now demaud that the Gov
ernment comply with its pirt, and send
back those who have not contributed
their precious fev6r-btrick.n or bullet
torn bodies to enrich theaoil of Luzm."
They ontend further that having en
listed ouly for the Spanish-Aiuericau war,
now ended, no construction of law can
linger hold them. The reference to the
Governor is for his veto of the Legisla
ture's resolution thanking the troops for
their services. His veto was filed, after a
conference with William J. Bryan, on
the ground that the war in the Philip
pines was uot warranted by the constitu

Lifa Sentsnc For Theft.
Wheelinh, W. Va, April li In the
county criminal court to day Judge H i
gus sentenced to life imprisonment in the
penitentiary at Moundsville Frank John
son, who was convicted of stealing brass
from the Ohio River Railroad Company.
The laws of West Virginia make the
theft of goods of value of ?20a felony,
and it was proved that the brass which
he stole was worth more than $-0, al
though he received a much smaller sum
from the junk dealer to whom be sold
the brass. Johnson had already served
two terms In the Slate prison for theft
and the statutes provide that the penalty
upon a third conviction must be impris
onment for life.
Johnson made a piteous appeal for
mercy. He said that he had been with
out a mothar's love during his entire life.
and that kindness to him wasan unknown
quantity. Ills only recollection of his
mother was a solitary visit to him in in
fancy, when he was eontiueU. in the
county iuliruiary, ou which occasion sue
handed him a bag of uandy. Johnson's
propensity for petty thieving was devel
oped in early life. At the age of 11 years
he robbed his benefactor, who had taken
him from the pror house to give him u

Dear Sir. Isupposoyou hve Double
of your own, .'od iniy be bore.i by my
attempi t- u!'- poni.-n of my tro.ib
Ica upon yon, h.u a ."Ost men are wiilit-g
to asit their brothers when they are
in a fix, 1 will ask you to a sist mo, if it
be in your pbwer.
1 was secinJ lieutenant in tho .11 L'uit
eJ Slates Volunteer Cavalry during the
war, and spent my time fighting lice and
lirards st Camp Thomas, Georgia. I
was mustered out i;i September last and
ordered home. At St. Paul, Minn., I was
given certain blanks by Colonel Carey,
psy master, F. S. A., to till out, aud he
told me I had f 17-1.25 coming to me from
the War Department as travel py from
Camp Thomas, Georgia, to Missoula,
Mont. Early in October my claim was
filed iu your oince, aod later you sent me
a receipt, dated December 20, 1.W, show
ing that my account with the Suljsistence
Department was sottleJ and balanced,
so that there is nothing charged aguiut
me iu any of the departments. Now, if
I can get that money I can mike a trip to
Virginia aud bring thesweetesl red-headed
girl back here with me that ever
bloomed in old Virginia's flower garden.
If I do not get my travol pay I will have
to wait; probably, a year. In tho mean
time there is a blooming Lritishor after
my girl, and he is playing an every night
engagement, while I am thiee thousand
miles away. The girl herself is all rijht,
but the old folks are favorable toward
"Johnny Bull" and are "touting" him to
win. You know how the dripping water
wea.-s a stouo away. S I want you to
help me to get my travel pay, and then
watch me skiu that Englishman. If I
can get this money I can win in a walk.
so, if you will assist me in this matter of
getting my travel pay quickly, I will be
a star at a matrimonial ceremony back iu
old Virginia, and about two weeks after I
get my travel pay I will call on you iu
Washington and show you the prettiest
red headed queeu that old Dixie Laud
ever grew. I appeal to you to hblp me
in my fight against the British Empire
and my future mother-in-law. I ask you
to treat this in confidence, because if the
newspapers get hold of it it w ill be all otf
with me. Trusting that you will assist
me and that I may have the pleasure of
introducing you to tho prettiest red
headed girl you ever saw, very shortly,
I am, yours iu suspense, etc.
Something for Nothing.
To get somethin g for nothing is contra
ry t tUu l.kv.si.f na;.i;.; and mankind; if
you want a Range, that is a good baker
aud a perfect roaster, try the CiuderolLi;
it is sold at a fair price, aud will give you
good service. It lig'itsns labor aud less

A Dog Saves Tea Lives.
Fklton, Del., April 15. The remark
able instinct of a d ig saved the life of
ten people at Cartees' Cmssiug. Adam
