THEY ARE ALL GOOD MEN. The Committee Decides that the Sen ators Were Not Bribed. Washington, August 2.

Lodge and Davis presented a supplementary report, and Allen pre sents his own vlewa on some features of the case. Secretary Carlisle la ex onerated. . . The committee sny the evidence does not show that tho sugar schedule was mado In consideration of contributions to the DomocraUo campaign fund, or Improper conduct on tho part of those engaged in framing tho schedule. The committee strongly deprecate tho pressuro to which congress and its members are subjected by representa tives of the great industrial combina tions "whose enormous wealth tends to suggest undue Influence, and to create In public minds a demoralizing belief In the existence of corrupt pol Itlcs.'.' The committee reports In the negative upon the question "whether any sen ator had been speculating In" sugar stocks during the consideration of the tariff bill." As to the latter branch of Inquiry which brought out tho photo graph to copy of the order to buy sugar stocks dated March 2, and purporting to be signed by Senator Camden; the committee gives credence to the denial of Senator Camden, and says thnt Bat tershnll, whose testimony was expected to bear up the Inference from the pho tographlo copy, Is a man of doubtful character.
