SENSATIONAL REPORT.

Serious ClmrfTos Made Atrainst Kx-Oover-nor Alt^eld 111 Hie Illinois Senate. Spiuxnriici.n, Ills., June :j.—The report of the special committee of the senate appointed to investigate the charges of misappropriations of funds of tho University of Illinois by C. W. Spaulding, treasurer of the university board and president of the defunct Globe Savings bank which was submitted to the 6euate today is sensational owing to the freedom with which ex-(inv,'«.i,r Altgold's name is used in connection with the affair. Tho report is in part as follows:

The committee finds that this bank was practically insolvent in 1S9.-J, and that that fact must have been known to Mr. Spaulding and to fioveriior Alt geld that Govcr nor A It geld at I lie time of his election as governor was both a stockholder and a director in this bank, and as such should have been—and the committee believes was—acquainted with its condition that Governor Alt geld was a large borrower from Use bank at the time Spaulding was eleeied treasurer of the university, and that he continued to be a large borrower from that bank during his entire term of ollice, and that when the bank failed lie was in debt to the bank very largely. The committee believes that the condition of the bank was shown to Governor Altgeld, and that Mr. Spaulding was elected treasurer very largely for the purpose of furnishing funds for this bank, and for the purpose of loaning large sums of money to the governor, and to persons connected with that, bank, and even to persons who are members of the board of trustees of the universii v.

The platform indorses the Chicago convention platform as the. true principles of Democratic, l'aith. The canvass of William J. Bryan is commended. It continues: "We recognize ill him the. fearless orator and statesman, and the great champion of the people's rights against the money power, the monopolists, the syndicates and trusts, and wo pledge him the support of the united Democracy in our state."

Tho remainder of the platform is devoted to state issues and a denunciation of Bradley's administration. Senator Blackburn is commended for his two senatorial tights. The platform was ado],ted with but one dissenting voice out of 1,090.

CABINET CRIsia

anish Ministers Tender Their Kesigiiation to the 'Jueen Kegeiit. M,u::n, Juno i.—The premier, Sonor Canovas del Castillo, lias tendered to the queen regent the resignation of tho cabinet, owing to the dilliculty tho ministers experience in carrying on the government, in view of tho parliamentary situation caused by tho refusal of the Liberals to take part in the deliberations of the cortos. This attitude of the Liborals is d'.io to the personal encounter between tho Duke of Tctuan. the minister for foreign affairs, and Profes:-oi Comas, a Liberal senator, on May when the dtilto slapped rhe face of senator after a heaved debate on ihMorgan belligerency resolution adopted by the United States senate. The riut-on accepted the resignations.
