With only half a dozen Senv atois yet to take the witness stand t Uie majority of the committee is eolith rinced that it has seen a flash of the j: *nderground workings of a lobby and e believes that only patient search is needed to reveal tho trail that will )o?ul to the quarry. Tho minority 8j members a]>parenlly are not so ccr^ tain that an "insidious" lobby will bo f", discovered. Tho few Senators who havo not been heard are out of the ni tttiy and will testify before tfie liear,lt are concluded. i One former Senator and Tour former Representatives Monday admlt^ ted more or loss Interest in legisla^ lion at the Capitol, but none would ssvy that lie considered his cause un^.a jwst, or that he had done anything Improper. Their work had been q done in the open, they say, and consisted mostly in tho filing of briefs all keforo committees of Congross, mak' Ink oral arguments in behalf of ers ftlionis and arnuiging for hearings 1 for their employers.

ItKllKl* PLOT MS( OYMKllI) IN CITY OF MEXICO. ? /neatocas (iarrison Shattered and Only About Twenty of the Mexican Army Kscapcd. A dispatch from Mexico City says as tlio result of the discovery of a plot to incite rebellion in the capital, the police Monday night arrested I)r. Kalaol Cepeda, former governor of San Luis Potosi and four men of less political prominence. A number of army ollicers of minor ranks are said to be involved in the plot against the Iluorta government. More than 250 members of the Federal garrison which was successful in tho defense of Zacatecas against a superior rebel force several weeks ago, were either killed or taken prisoners, according to survivors who Tuesday straggled into Aguas Calientes. Telegraphic communication between the capital and Zacatecas has been suspended for more than a month and Tuesday's news was the | first direct confirmation the government had received of the reported capture of the city by the rebels. Only twenty men of the Zacatecas garrison of 3 00 escaped, according to tho statement of these survivors, which was telegraphed to the War Department from Aguas Calientes. The attacking forco, they stated, numbered about 900. Tho Federals resisted until the fighting in the strets had resulted in the killing of many non-combatants. The successful rebels forced loans and looted some of the business houses of tho city. One of the wealthiest residents of Zacatecas was executed because he refused to contribute 20,000 pesos to tho revolutionists. The governor was made a prisoner. No mention was made of any foreigners being injured. Four cannon and a few machine guns were capturod by the rebels but tho refugees stated that practically all of tho ammunition not used in the defense of the garrison was exploded Knfnrn ...... 1 - . > > /viv/i tuu r uuciais t*u i i uuuor^u. According to advices received by tho War Department, a rebel army 1h moving on Aguas Callentes where the garrison is not largo and tho situation is complicated by the presence of many idle workmen who arc expected to join tho rebel ranks.

Tho killed were two privates of Company M, Eighth United States infantry, three members of tho first company of scouts ami one member >f the 2 0th company of scouts. Lieut Edwin II.
