BLAMED AND EXONERATED. The Minority Report of the Canadian Commons Committee Deals Severely with the Leader, but the Majority Blames Everybody but Him. OTTAWA, Sept. 17.—Copies of the major ity and minorityreports prepared by the subcommittee of the privileges and elec tions committee, to; which was intrusted the work of preparing a report for the house of commons on the alleged corruption 0I Sir Hector Langevin and Thomas Mc‘ ,Greevy, have been sent out from the print ing bureau for distribution among the commoners The Minority Scores Langevin. The minority report deals severely with Langevin. It reviews the history of Tarte’s charges, several contracts therein referred to and the evidence relating to each, show. ing that the relations between McGreevy and Langevin for twenty years past have been most close and intimate, McGreevy advancing Langevin $10,000 in 1885, taking in return promissory notes, still outstand‘ ing,.McGreevy paying the interest thereon: that McGreevy made Sir Hector Lange vin’s house his home in Ottawa from 187C to 1890, and also used Sir Hector’s room in the parliament building; that each contribu- ted to establish and maintain Le Mondo newspaper (McGreevy’s contribution amounted to 825,000), and ,that McGreevy was treasurer of the funds of the Conserv- ative party in Quebec, while Langc vin was the party leader and directed the ex- penditures for party purposes; that the amounts received by McGreevy from the contractors went to form a part of this fund, and that McGreevy’s refusal to state how these moneys were disbursed makes 1! impossible so state definitely to what ex. tent Sir Hector Langevin was benefited, politically or otherwise, by these disburse ments. McGreevy Was in Deep. The minority report also alleges thal the Esquimault dock contract was so man aged as to crowd out low bids, increase the amount paid to the accepted contract ors and otherwise change the work so as to derive the utmost political benefit from it, regardless of the cost to the public. The opinion is expressed that Thomas McGreevy received from Larkin, Con uollj & Co. corruptly over $130,000; that he re ceived 842,000 out of the Baie des Chaleurs railway subsidies without investing any- thing; that he was owner of the steamel Admiral while sitting in parliament; that his denials in parliament V" ere false, and that his action was a violation of the inde pendence of parliament act. Further particular charges of wholesalé corruption and robbery follow. The majority report completely exoncr ates Sir Hector Langevin, but blames Mo Greevy and some of the officials of the public works department and recommend: their prosecution. It blames everybody but Sir Hector. The majority report of the Cochram committee presented to parliament yester day exonerates Mr. Cochranc, M. P. f0) East Northumberland, from complicity in selling government offices, holding thal his connection with the abuses has not been prov ed. The minority report con- tends that the selling of offices would not have taken place unless inspired by Coch rane. Stripped and Lashed. MAETINSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 17.—John, Henry and Lucy Martin, Sarah and J ant McCoy, near Hynsdale, were accused oI stealing from neighbors. Last night sev- eral White Caps took them from theil beds, bared them to the waist and gave each forty lashes, and told them to leave within twenty-four hours. The women underwent such torture that their recovery is doubtful. Killed His Brotlier-in-Law. CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—Constantine Morris was killed at his home, 115 West J acksou street, by his brother-in-law, James Touhy. The tragedy is the culmination of a feud which has existed ever since the marriage of Morris to Touhy’s sister four months ago. Recognizing the New Chili. VALPARAISO, Sept. 17.—The United States was the first to oflicially recognize the provisional government. The German government followed suit, and recognition from the other foreign governments is expected to take place within a few days. BRIEF MENT ION. Secretary Tracy explained that six wax vessels—the Lancaster, Alliance, Alert, Monocacy, Marion and Poles—were in Chinese waters ready to protect American citizens against antiforeign outbursts. A large rubber vulcanizer, weighing ten tons, exploded at Trenton, killing Caleb Bennett and doing much damage to prop erty. Charles Howard, who was arrested at Whiting, Ind., on suspecion of attempted train wrecking on the Pittsburg and Earl Wayne road, made a full confession. He stated that he and his companions had in- tended to rob the express cars, but had no desire to injure the passengers. He could not restrain his joy at seeing the train stop without injury, and it was owing to his forgetfulness that his arrest was ef- fected. Increased interest was shown in the Hains murder trial at Hampton, Va. , tho court being packed with people, many oi whom took camp stools with them. Coun- sels’ speeches were concluded, and after the judge’s charge a verdict of not guilty was rendered. The British home secretary has remitted eighteen months of the sentence of Arthur Bidwell, the American forger who com- mitted frauds on the Bank of England, to gather with his brother George. The lat ter was released in 1886. In reSponse to many demands for frac- tional silver a circular has been prepared and will shortly be issued by the United States treasurer, stating that it will be furnished in sums of $200 or more by ex- press or mail, free of all charges, to any point in the country. There is now about 822,000,000 fractional silver in the treasury. Ever since Oct. 20, 1887, Michael Far- man, of Factoryville, near Scranton, Pa., has been asleep. The attending physician says his condition is due to water on the brain, which it is impossible to remove. Farman’ 5 wife feeds him cve1 y day. At long intervals he regains consciousness, but for a few days only. DAILY? NORWALK- GAZETTE.
