- OFFER ffillY BITTZ. Senator Kyte’s Testimony Before the Bribery Investigators, / —-. LARGE FIGURES FOR VOTES. Mr. Kyle Think, the Offer of •14,000, With a Promise of Much More If Neeessnry. Was Sincere and Hacked by Other Parties—lnquiry Being Secretly I Conducted —Washington News. Washington, May 22.—The committee to investigate the charges of bribery in the senate began its work yesterday. Senator Hunton was at the meeting as a witness. C. W. Buttz made a written application to be present. Senator Hunton remained with the committee about half an hour, and after he emerged from the committeeroom his son, Eppa Hunton, Jr., was called in and asked to state what he knew of the alleged effort to bribe his father. He was detained only about 15 minutes. Both witnesses were cautioned by Senator Gray against giving the newspapers any report of the proceedings, the senator remarking that when this branch of the inquiry should be concluded the proceedings would all be made public. Both senator Hunton and his son stated that C. W. Buttz was the man who had approached the younger Hunton. The narrative did not differ materially from the story heretofore published. Offer Made Senator Kyle. Senator Kyle was before the committee for more than an hour, and he was informed that he probably would be called* again. He put the committee in possession of all the information in his possession, stating that he was first approached by Buttz about two months ago with the proposition to vote against the tariff bill and receive pay for his vote, the amount offered being $14,000. In reply to a question Senator Kyle said he was confident that Buttz represented other parties, and that the proposition, if it had been accepted, would have been made good. Senator Kyle also stated that Buttz had intimated that if $14,000 was not enough he could have almost any sum he would name as high as $75,000. During a recess Chairman Gray stated that the committee had not yet formulated any plans for the investigation of the operations of the sugar trust in connection with legislation in the senate. When asked what the committee had determined to do in response to Mr. Buttz's request to be allowed to be present while other witnesses were being examined, that he might question them, he said the request had been refused, as had , a similar request from Senator Hunton , to be present when Buttz should testify. Asked what would be the effect of a refusal on Buttz's part to testify, Mr. Gray only said that course on his part would appear against him in the published testimony. Bnttz's Determination. ( At 3 o’clock Major Buttz was called, ] but after he had entered Chairman Gray ( told him that he had been called a little j too soon and to retire until a point which was under discussion could be settled. Buttz announced that he wanted his attorney present when he testified. He still adhered to his determination not to testify unless he is furnished a copy of the testimony heretofore given, saying that the commitre may send him to jail for eternity before c he will change his j resolution on this point. A few minutes • later, Buttz was again called and his attorney was admitted with him. The committee has been considering the advisability of going to New York to obtain a portion of the testimony in relation to the sugar allegations, but the 3 ultimate cour.-e has not been decided ‘ upon. The committee has summoned ■ James W. Walker, an attorney of Washington, to appear before it. He is the man wlyo, gave Buttz the letter of introduction to Senator Hunton’s son. Kacy Reading Promised. Fragmentary references to the pro- < ceedings with Buttz as witness leave ; little roonj for doubt that when the re- ■ port of the testimony is published it will ] make very racy reading. He first de- 1 manded a transcript of the report of the 3 testimony of preceding witnesses, but compromised by accepting a proposition that the reporter should read the portions of the testimony of the other witnesses which reflected on him-in any way. He was thus confronted with the statement that Senators Kyle and Hunton had i identified him as the man who had at- | tempted to corrupt therri, and liaving in his letter to Senator Hansbrough laid • the responsibility for this charge at the doors of the newspapers and relieved the < senators from all blame, he was placed in a somewhat embarrassing position, ■ and the brief references to his testimony indicates that he made an effort to excuse himself and explain away the entire charge. He explicitly denied any intention on his part to corrupt the senators. It is also understood that he politely declined to answer some of the more pertinent questions put to him. Senator Kyle’s private secretary confirmed the senator’s testimony and James W. Walker stated that he gave Buttz a letter of introduction on the representation that he wanted to employ Hunton in a land case. Senate and House. Washington, May 22.—The senate sparred over the metal schedule, Mr. Aldrich ridiculing the report proposing 40 per cent duty after the Democrats had fought for years for free raw materials, Messrs. Mills and Vest engaging in the debate and the latter declaring tnat a small minority in the party nad required the concessions or the failure of the bill. At the close of the day Mr. Peffer’s amendment to put iron ore on the free list was defeated 46 to 4. The house spent the time on the legislative appropriation in committee of the whole and by a vote of 118 to 84 adopted an amendment repealing the section allowing the docking of members. “Haven’t They Enough Tariff BiitoF* Washington, May 22.—Senator Hill was in his seat in the senate yesterday for the first time for two weeks. He stated in reply to a question that he had been at Albany during the greater part

VhT absence. When informed'of 1-t week's report that he was preparing a new tariff bill as a substitute for the i pending bill, he simply replied: "Haven't [ they enough tariff bills now! The oriticfanM seem to be general that there are too inuny.” POSTOFFIt’B SQUABBLE. 1 Carrier Slater of Fort Wayne Fighting For KoinitateinenU j Washington, May 22. — Postmaster , General Bissell has decided to give a i hearing in the test case instituted by exLetterearrier Slater of the Fort Wayne (Ind.) postofflee, who was removed nnd now seeks reinstatement. Slater was I first temporarily removed on the recommendation of Postmaster Rockhill of Fort Wayne, who alleged that Slater had censured him in a Republican paper. He declared his innocence and an inspector of the department was sent to Fort Wayne. The report exonerated him from the charge of the newspaper assaults, but charged neglect of duty, Impolite conduct and other offenses for which permanent reinoval was ordered. Slater concluded to contest the action of the postmaster and to lay his appeal personally before the postmasterjgeneral, and has accordingly come to Washington. The-postmaster general said that he would give the hearing during the middle of the week. Postmaster Rockhill is expected to be present to protest against the proposed reinstatement of Slater. Ho Still Refuse. to Surrender. Washington, May 22.—Representative Breckinridge, when seen about a report that a delegation of prominent Kentuckians intended coming here to urge him to withdraw from the race for congress in favor of his son Desha, said: "I ave heard the rumor. You can say for me that the old man will be in congress nest time. After that the young, man may be allowed to take his chance in the race, but for the present lam still in it.” Want Another Judge. Chicago, May 22.—The prosecution in the insanity trial of Assassin Prendergast has asked for its second continuance, and it is asserted that it will continue this policy until Judge Chetlain’s term expires on June 4. Chetlain’s famous midnight session which stayed the hanging has prejudiced the prosecutors against him. Should Chetlain refuse continuance, the state’s attorney may withdraw. Armor Plate Frauds. Washington, May 22.—The proposed congressional investigation of the Carnegie armor plate frauds was reported favorably by Representative Outhwaite of the house rules committee today and was referred to the naval committee, which is expected to report at once favoring the inquiry. Fourth Class Postmasters. Washington, May 22.—Indiana fourth class postmasters: Dudley. Mrs. Rosa C. Burch; Grover. Sidney A. Uncaphor. HAWAII AS A REPUBLIC. What Is Proposed to Be Done Under a New Constitution. San Francisco, May 22.—The Associated Press correspondence from Honolulu by steamer Gaelic brings a synopsis of the new Hawaii constitution likely to be approved by the convention to be held May 80. The new government is to up 1 be called a republic FjJ and will vest the W < 5 V executive power in a president, who will have an execu- ;... nrpfe« V ® counc *l fi ve - mem h er s. The senate and house will eac h consist of 15 members,and members of the Io former shall have president dole, resided on the islands three years, own not less than $5,000 in property and have $1,200 a year income, and be able to read and write English.

Sessions are to be held every two years and be limited to 90 days. It is the intention to have President Dole reappointed. The claim is made that when the republic is declared the natives will make an uprising. COXEYITES IN JAIL. Leading Commonwealer and His Lieutenants Sentenced In Washington. Washington, May 22. —Judge Miller in the police court yesterday sentenced Coxey, Browne anil Christopher Columbus Jones to 20 days’ imprisonment in jail for displaying a banner in the capitol grounds on the occasion of the May day demonstration. Coxej’ and Browne were also sentenced to $5 fine, or 10 days’ imprisonment ■in default thereof, for trespassing on the capitol grounds. Coxey has issued bulletin No./5 to the “American Patriots of 1894,” in which < he gives a highly colored account of the arrest and conviction of the leaders in Washington. The bulletin concludes with an appeal for money and supplies and urges his followers to hold more meetings and in every way urge senators and congressmen to vote for the Coxey bill.

New York, May 22. — The trade unions of New York are determined to insist on the strict enforcement of the new law providing that only American citizens shall be employed in all state and municipal departments and on all public works, whether executed by contractor or otherwise. .’’At a meeting last night of 800 members of the United Order of Carpenters and Joiners it was unanimously voted that a vigilance committee' be appointed to report any infractions of the law.
