WAsHNoTos, Feb. 12-The report of the
Select Committee, Of which Mr. Morris Of ILL.,
nois Is Chairman, gives detailed facts relative
to the abstraction Of the Indian Trust Bonds.
Thirty or forty witnesses were examined, in
eludl1g Ex.secrctaries Floyd and Thompson.
The latter is eKonerated from any completely
IN the theft; but he, ~ well as the former Sec
fetar1es OF the Interior, are ccn6ured for the
insufficient manner In which the bonds have
been held in that Department, there being no
adequate responsibility attached to the Gus
todian.
According to Russell's own evidence, he
did not know, at first, where the bonds Of
which he obtained possession came from.
Byerty WAS an agent for the negotiation or sale
Of the bonds and lease, an intarmediate party
between Russell and Bailey. It wns also as
certained that Nj. Floyd gave acceptances to
0o0,000 to s., ,000, 600 more than Majors, Russell
d Co. ever earned, while these contractors
received all that was due them. The accep-
tanees were given on the strength Of their con-
tract.

About year ago -he could not fix the exact
man d Co., asking him to ascertain whether
Mr. F1oyds acceptances were good. Mr.. Ben
jamtn called on the President, who said that
he knew nothing about them or any Inv au-
thorlzing tlieir issue. Mr. B. next called on
ME, Floyd, who Eaid the acceptances were in
and were given conditionally as to the arrival
ot trains from one point to another.
bfr Benjamin reminded them Of the impro-
priety Of such proceedings, and htr. Floyd said
he.won1d sign no more; but notwithstanding,
from April to December he gave acceptances
was the 18th Of December, the day Bailey de-
lyered the 1aet batch Of bonds.
The committee have ascertained that many
OF these acceptances arc etill out and sec, ,0GO
worth Of them are In the hands If one or two
parties alone, but which are wcr;hlew. The
committee make no recommendation, but
merely report facts.
