mittee of Investigation was not moved to-day, be-
cause the mover failed to get the foor 1t will
doubtless be made tomorrow. The general senti-
ment of the House points to the same man as the
guilty party. The Government has not yet received
the Cass-I -Irisarri treaty any dispatches what

tons just made at the Treasury Department, taking

bic to come to a conclusion the tariff. 1t is
probable that bill revising the present act will be
preparation bills. report to this effect is prevail
