WnshlnKton, tb. :i -(Special) The
ctickooi nrc vcrv much uliturbed ov'er the
tip from Senator Chardlcr oUout nil In
vestigation of the lillnil bond ileal. Tli
presltlont ntul the jecretnry f the treui
ury arc to be hn estimated. This amur
unce, conlltiR from Mi. Chutuiler, carries
with It a tn.itter of national Importance.
The Investigation, romleil during the
next congress, will cert ilnly be very lu
tcrestlnE. An elTort ulll be made to I'.iul
out how the ileal e.une to be brought
nbotit; where the ileal wus closeti nlul why
llr. Stetson, a recent partner of Mr. Clcve
lanil, appears as a witness to the boil J con
tract; alo to learn who pot the cIrIu tnll
lons of doll.us profit on the bonds. It Is
believed the people ot the count! would
like to known why Mr. Cle eland, aided
by his recent partner, reached the con
clusion that the provornment could nffurtl
to sell a batch of bonds for $s,(V,J less
than could have been secured on the same
day, and why certain old-time business
friends of the president are allotted a. se
cret and private purchase, of bonds.
It Is believed the Investigation will ex
plain how certain piomlnunt men have so
recently developed Into millionaires. The
Investigation ulll show, as hoped by many,
how si or seeu millions of dollars can bo
saved out ot a comparatively small sal
ary.
In these wonderful days for accumulation
of money It will doubtless be interesting
to know how such results can follow such
conditions. It may perchance bo shown
that there is something In having conlldlng
friends on the outside who cash in op
portunities and make something of n divide
all the way lound.
It Is generally conceded th.it the sugar
(rambling' anil other disreputable deals
made during the consideration of the late
tariff bill were the most disgraceful Jlnan
clal opetatlons ever indulged In by those
who temporarily frequent the capital build
lug. This was a prolonged woiklng of the
maikets by parties who got the secrets ot
the llnance committee and used them to
make money out ot their Investments. Hut
all this most disgraceful proceeding Is eon
ceded to be for surpassed In questionable
teatuies by the administration bond deal.
There Is one distinctive feature ot the late
administration deal. In the sugar deals
tho friends of the executive, the same
friends who appear In the bond deal, weie
piomlnent, as well as friends of certain
senators who got contiol of the sugar
tariff teciets. Hut In the late bond deal,
with 1111 eight million rake-off, only the
late business friends of the president ap
pear to control the profit. This Is an im
portant feature to take Into consideration
In connection Willi me coming nivusnn.t
tlon. Tho committee, will, ot course, be
made up of Republicans and Democrats.
Aa the capital end of speculation is not n
the bond ileal. It is suggested that posslldy
thc chances for an Investigation nnd not
for a whitewash will be more favorable.
IMPROVEMENTS AT TOPEKA.
IUirrrntiittin t'urtls Introduces n 11111 for
nil Addition ti til" liovcrimiciit
Itiiltillug There.
M-ashlngton, Veb. 21. (Special.) Arrange
ments have been made for taking tip seven
public building bills located at the capital
cities of certain states,
Representative Curtis succeeded in get
ting his Topelca bill In the list. Ily this bill
U Is proposed to appropriate $120,000 to be
used in erecting an addition to the present
government building in that eltv. The mat
ter has been under consideration lor some
time, but owing to tho policy of the admin
istration to spend ns little money as lios
tlbio In public Improvements, such bills
have been held In the background.
It Is believed that the plan to call up
these bills, agreed upon by the commit
tee, will go through all right, and In the
event it does there Is little doubt but the
Topeka bill will pass. Ah soon ns It Is
pissed li will go to the senate, whero the
two senators tiom that city ought to be
ablo to pass it.

BR0DERICKS ANTI-LOTTERY BILL
Speaker Crisp (iel II I'eiv Messages In Itc-
latlon tn 'I bat Important
Measure.
Washington, Tel) 21. (Special ) Speaker
Crisp received a few messages jesteulay
about the autl-lottcry bill. They came
from different parts ot the country. New
York, Georgia, Louisiana, many from Kan
sas, some from Missouri and Nebraska nnd
a few from Colorado. It seems that the
people interested In tho bill have concluded
to remind the speaker of what they want
done.
Representative Tlroderlek.who has charge
of the bill, snjs he will do all lie can to
put it thiough. The whole matter rests
with the speaker. It Is certain that If
Judge Culberson, chairman of the commit
tee, would ask the speaker to give time
foi the consideration of the bill the le
quest would be gianted. Hut while It Is
true thnt that committee passed a resolu
tion risLtmr the sneaker to clve time It Is
nl.-o true that It sometimes happens that
tho spcalter ts toiu on mo quiei not io
pav attention to a resolution. Mr. Culber
son Ins n. friend ml'd up In Texas politics
who Is Interested In the Kitten business
As shown by Culbctson's recoid In Indian
Terrltoij court matters he Is not ovei-e to
standing by his fi lends ivvn In llnancinl
matters as will as In political deals. Many
who are posted on the w.iv certain mem
bers manipulate public business tor private
ends believe there Is an Influence at work
very i lose to the speaker with a personal
Interest In the matter or smothering the
antl-lotteiy bill. This being the case,
there are ver grave doubis at this time
over the matter of being able to get thp
bill thiough.
