proaehed—Who Are the Men Be-
hind the Actual Bribes-‘2 ‘
NEW YORK, May 17.-—The Sun publishes
the following sensational dispatch from
Washington: ’
A sensation was created in the senate
cloakrooms today by an authorized an.
- . . nouncement that an attempt was recently
~ 7 - ——-* . made to bribe Senator Hunton of V irginia
' .. ' , and Senator Kyle of South Dakota with
.7 , money to vote against the pending tarifl
bill. Ever since the tariff fight commenced
in the senate there have been rumors float-
ing around the capitol to the eflfect that
certain beneficiaries of the high protection
system proposed to spend large sums of
money if necessary to prevent the passage
of the tariff bill.
Suspicion has rested upon more-than one
I 4 Democratic senator, although it has been
practically impossible to find any direct
and convincing proofs of their yielding to
temptation. Today, however, for the first
time Senator Hunton informed some of his
senatorial colleagues that a man who now
resides in South Dakota had offered to pay
$25,000 for his vote against the tariff bill.
' ' - Senator Hunton was naturally greatly
0 _ , . mortified that any one should for a single
moment imagine that his vote on any
measure is purchasable, and he was nat-
f’ urally reluctant to have the fact that he
, , {5" had been thus approached made public.

‘33 To the reporter of The Sun the follow-
ing story of the affair was told today by
a senator who was consulted on theaub
ject by Senator Hunton. The man who
offered the bribe is well known and is re
membered in South Carolina as a member
of the carpetbag government prior to 1876.
He has for several years resided in Dakota.

The senator’s son resented the attempt
notifléd the senator. Mr. Hunton prompt-
1y consulted some of his personal friends
on the subject. He was advised to ignore
the matter and dismiss it without further
notice. The mere intimation that he might
rectly or indirectly, was so repulsive to him
that he quietly commenced an investiga-
tion to ascertain who is behind the gentle
man from Dakota and South Carolina in
this transaction. The senator has not yet

In the course of his investigation Sena».
tor Hunton discovered that Senator Kyle
had also been approached by the same
man on the same business. It appears

financial negotiation with Senator Kyle

No Senators Accepted.
This story was told at the senate cham-
ber today, and the friends of Senators Hun-
ton and Kyle are insisting that the matter
shall be probed to the bottom. It is said '
that other Democratic senators have been
approached directly or indirectly on the
same subject, and in more than one in-
stance the propositions have been submit-
ted to sengzors by well known women of
some social standing in Washington. Sen.
ator Butler of South Carolina, who knows
the name of the man who is attempting to
buy votes, remarked today that he had
heard it stated that as high as $800,000 has
been oifered for Democratic votes against
the bill. Thus far there are no proofs ob-
. ‘ tainable, however, that any senators have
,1 _ accepted the bribe. .
