Attorney General Hoar, are in Wash

loose wording Of the agreement, that
the Canadian claims for damages caused
by the Fenian raids will come before the
Commission. Earl Kimberleys letter

roads.
WASHINGTON, February Ex-senator
Carpenter Of the Judiciary committee,
reported to-day on the subject Of the
relation of the Government to the
Pacific railroads. The opinion OF the
committee is adverse to that Of the
Attorney General, and maintains the
position taken by the companies that the
United States are bound to pay for one
half the services in money, and can
only apply the other half on bonds, and
that the companies are only bound to
the performance of Government service
where required, and beyond the perform
ance of such service are not bound to
repay the interest until maturity Of the
bonds. 1t is understood that all the
committee concur in the report except
Mr.. Edmunds. The report of Senator
Stewart is from the committee on Pa
cifc Railroad. ut recommends no leg
islation, but expresses the opinion that
advantages are so great that the Gov
ernment will send freight over the road
as far as practicable to do so.

West Point Troubles-The President
Don't Want to Investigate.

West Point Troubles-The President
Don't Want TO Investigate.
WASHINGTON, February 25.-No ac-
ton has been taken by the War De-
partment upon House resolution about
the West Point outrage. The Secre-
tary, it is understood, put the response
bility upon the President, because the
President alone has power to order a
court OF inquiry. The President, it is
reported, is disposed to pay no atten.
ton to the House resolution, on the
ground that it has no force and is merely
an expression Of opinion Of the House
and proffer of advice. which he is at
liberty to accept or decline with equal
propriety. The House declared that
the Secretary of War ought to ascer-
tain, by court OF Inquiry, who were
ringleaders in the late riot dismiss
them from the Academy and court-mar-
tial other members of the first class,
but if the President holds a contrary
opinion, and so directs the Secretary,
there is an end to the whole matter un'
less joint resolution should he passed
in both Houses.
The delay in announcing the result
of the courtmartial of cadet Smith oc'
casions considerable comment 1t is
stated on good authority that the Secre-
tary Of War is perplexed in forming his
decision, as he is called upon to decide
Smiths fate on the merits Of the case.
There is little doubt but that the Secre.
tary is disposed to sanction his dismissal
from the Academy, and the President
would approve such sentence; but IN
view Of public feeling created against
the conduct Of the first class, and as
Smith is not the only cadet who has
grossly misbehaved himself, the Secre-
tary Of War is undecided whether to
put Smith on his good behavior or end
his career at the Military Academy by
dismissal. In consequence of the re-
cent numerous publications, BY West
Point cadets, of articles relative to the
late disturbances, General Pitcher, Su-
perintendent, has called their attention
to the army regulations, which forbid
all publicatians by officers and cadets
relative to transactions at the Military
Academy.

NEW YORK.
The Custom House Investigation

New YORK, February 24.-The inves-
tigation into the Custom House affairs
by the committee of which Senator Pat
terson is Chairman, will, it is expected,
be brought to close to-day, with the
examination Of Special Agent Jayne,
Chllector Murphy, and Naval o.
ficer Gribnell. There were a number
of witnesses before the committee yes
terday, including Appraiser Paliver,
and sundry inspectors, clerks and others,
two or three Custom House brokers and
several importing merchants. The in.
ouiries ofthe committee have latterly
been chiefly directed to the general order
and carriage system, though the Ap-
praiser's Department has received at
tention. The committee has reached
such conclusions as will result in ma
terial modification Of the general order
and carriage business introduced under
the administration Of the former Collec-
tor. 1t has become clear that there
must also be reform in the system of
inspection OF custom officials now in
vogue, it being among the long standing
abuses. There is considerable feeling
between the committee and the Collec-
tor, and the former have removed their
room for holding their sessions from the
Custom House to the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. The Collector seemingly regards
the inquiries Of the Retrenchment COM
mittee as assaults upon the officials
whose departments are examined.
Senator Patterson states that long
standing abuses have been found in
every direction in which inquiries have
been instituted.
The Coal Excitement.
The papers Of this morning are bitter
in their denunciation of the coal
swindle, and term it merely conspir-
acy of capitalists to crush the working
men. The contents Of all the coal
receptacles in this city and Brooklyn
combined give only one ton for every
twenty persons, at present, and there ls
no prospect OF any more. Grocery
men and small dealer, are selling
coal to the poor from 25 to 30 cents
bucketfull, or about $25 ton--all the
result of conspiracy on the part of coal
monopolists and railroad companies. If
the supply is not increased in day or
two ton of coal may yet be worth
$25 or $50 in this city. Some COM
panies claim, though they have only
200 or 800 tons in their yards, that they
are willing to sell to the poor at ordin-
ary prices. Generally quite a time
elapses between the sale and delivery.
No doubt the present crisis arises
from a determination on the part of
monopolists to destroy the Miners
Union in the coal regions The mining
of coal has been actually prevented by
the enormous frieghts charged by rail.
road companies, and these rates will
continue until the miners come to terms.
In several instances yesterday and early
last night disturbances occurred by
freezing men, women and children MAX
ing rades upon carts transporting coal.
The supply in Patterson. Hudson. New
ark and other neighboring cities, IL also
about exhausted.
