WAsHINGToN, Feb. 23.-Mr. Horace White,
of the Chicago Press and Tribune, formerly
assistant secretary of the national Kansas COM
mittee, appeared before the Senate Harper's
Ferry committee to-day. The only thing in
Mr., Whites testimony, precisely in point, was
that he knew nothing about it. At the in
stance of Senator Mason, witness went into a
detailed statement of the organization of the
national Kansas committee in 1856, which is
well known to the readers of the Tribune.
The executive board of the committee con-
sisted of three members, residing in Chicago
Nlessrs. j. ID. Webster, Ii. B. Hurd, and Geo
w. Dole, who transacted the business with the
authority of the full organization. The ag-
gregate sums of money received and disbursed
by that body, in 1856 and three months of
1857, was about Sl20,000, of which no less
than $4,000 went fer the purchase of arms.
Their dealings with Brown amounted to an
appropriation of $3.50 in cash, twelve boxes of
clothing, and twenty-five revovers for his
benefit, of which the last mentioned never
reached him. All this transpired in the year
1856.
Witness had never seen Brown since Janu.
ary, 1857. Brown never communicated to
witness or the committee any purpose or de-
signs against slavery outside of Kansas.
Browns last appearance before the committee
was at the Astor House, New York. in Janu-
ary, 1891, where he applied for ZO0 Sharp's ri
fles belonging to the committee, and stored at
Tabor, Iowa, with which to repel the border
ruffian invaders of Kansas.
Pending the discussion of his petition, which
szas warmly opposed by members of the com
mittee, the question was disposed of by voting
the arms back to the control of the Massachusetts
state Kansas committee, which purchased and
forwarded them to the national committee at
Chicago in the first instance. Brown then
proceeded to Boston, as was supposed, to make
his application to the Massachusetts, commit
tee. Witness never saw him afterward was
never acquainted with John E. Cook Richard
Realf, and James Redpath, none of whom ever
told him, or the national committee, a syllable
about Browns plans The national committee
voted itself .fitnc!uS o6iciO in March, 1857, and
disbanded

| GREAT TYPE SETTING MArCH.-Match
games OF billiards, prize fights, races, ETC.. be-
ing the order of things now a-days, the COM
positors engaged in the West office arranged
contest in typesetting, on Saturday, according
to the most approved rules of the sport" be-
tween w. d. Egbert and w. A. Heaton. The
preliminaries being agreed upon, Mr.. H. o.
Bastord was chosen as umpire for w. ID. Eg,
bert, and Mr.. James Tracey for w A. Heaton.
Mr. II. A. Cummings was chosen referee.
AT l245 P. NJ, ring was formed of John
Brown neck-tie, and at 1880 Z. grasped his
stick and SHE'D his castor inside the limits,
quickly followed by II. Both appeared to be
in excellent condition, and each having every
confidence in himself seemed determined to
save his reputation for fast type-setting, and
win the race.
AT one o'clock, time being called, both came
to the scratch, H. grasped his stick firmly in
his left and led out with his right fetching in
beautifully on the EN- quad box and counter.
ing lightly on the stick. Here considerable
sparring took place, when H. put in his one,
tacO three on the cap and lower case, successful
ly spelling Tn e. E. was slightly nervous and
allowed his antagonist to lead him Oh the
start; but after some light hitting and coun-
ter-hitting came up well, gaining on his antag-
onist, so neither appeared to have any advan-
tage for ten minutes, when I'll. gets somewhat

the result, but having strong determination
to come to the scratch alone, were promptly

and makes several false motions, missing his

right corner. As the last thousand draws to
close, both parties are getting down to bust

tagonist may make "toul;" or should he
fail in this, at least save his reputation for
