Conference, q bill will be introduced in

dollars Tor the settlement Of the Alabama
claims. That fund will be established
In The Treasury Department, entitled the

Acknowledgement on her part, the United

shall pursue. The sentiment OF the PEG.
pie will support Il, and Il is believed there
would not be the slightest hesitation In
Congress TO inaugurate a fund Of the nature
stated, with the determination that Eng.
land shall settle it, whether she will or

interest, would amount TO q good round

More Revelations in Prospect.

50 ASHFESNs
Another important Investigation ID
promised by resolution introduced In
the Senate, Monday, by Mr.. SUMMER, the
text of which Is as follows: r5-s
"ResolueI, That a select committee o.
seven be appointedto investigate oil sales
of ordnance stores made by the Govern
ment Of the United States during the wal
between France and Germany, 10 ascer,
tain the persons To whom such sales were
made, and the real parties In interest," and
the sums respectively paid and received
by tue real parties; and that the commit
tee have power To send Tor persons and
papers; and that the investigation be con
Quoted in public" hal. l. ..f..
This Is preceded by a lengthy preamble
which indicates the leading facts that ART
to be the subject Of inquiry. The sub
stantiAl one is that il appears, from the
official report Of the Secretary of War
that In the year 1901 tho sale Of ord
nance reached the sum Of $1O,0O00OO
from which, according to the report, but
small sum was retained TO meet the OK
pense Of preparing other stores for sale;
while the official report Of the Secretary
Of tho Treasury for the same year &C.
knowledges thereceipt of only $3.50, 13l,
showing a difference of over g., 7000 900.
A comparison of the accounts rendered
by the French Government for moneys
expended by It's agents in tho purchase
OF arms from the United States, and
the accounts rendered by the Gov
eminent of the United States for
moneys received in the same trans
action, show a large difference. This
has created a suspicion abroad that the
U. s. officials Incorporated q portion
OF the proceeds. The Committee on War
Contracts in the French Assembly has
adopted resolution asking the United
States government TO furnish the result
Of nm inquiry into the conduct Of those
officials IN the transaction; and this inquiry
MIR. SUMNER now proposes, out Of regard
for the good name OF our government
abroad and out Of consideration for a trea-
sury that appears to have been heavily
robbed, A Washington dispatch says
it is believed this inquiry will lead to i'm
portant revelations. 1t is belived tina,
there is evidence to show that in this
transaction frauds were committed TO The
extent Of several millions Of dollars. Mr.
Sumner examined the whole case, Which
was brought to his attention by TIT
French charge d'aiEaires at Washington
very thoroughly before introducing his
resolution, and he is prepared to supper
the allegations by facts.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN Being an
eye witness Of the Democratic pro
cession of last Friday night we can
say that in nu mbers and appearance
that part Of it which constituted the
horseback feature, with lamps and
transparencies. was very respectable,
bnt to that which followed, when
the first had ended, something called
a Cow Squad" which looked more
like what they say of "Ku Klux"
party, down South, than anything
else we can think of, we can't speak
/ in praise.
In the Southern States those par
ties are after wounding and killing
negroes, willie here last FRIDAY
night, the whole thing was aimed at
one simply because he is a "d-d
Italian"-a foreigner, as was re-
marked.
Without naming any of the par
ticipants in that Cow Spuad'' of
which it is said Henry A. Hoyt was
the editor and commander, al
though the names of many are
known, and looked upon with as
tonishm snt and disgust, we will
proceed to give it's character, as it
ACTUALLY appeared on the streets.
Remember this crowd had in it, and
was composed of things called ,oen

transparency with Grant, and a
man dressed IN female attire, an
Organ Grinder, an Old Cow, I'll

To tire honor of that "Cow
Squad be it said that they felt, in ad
vance, so ashamed oftheir dirty work
that before undertaking it they (the
real actors dressed in tattered gar
ments and put on false faces SO as to
avoid being known. Had we, vol
UNFAIRLY furnished the cow, we most
surely would have disguised her
also, so that it should not have beer
kno wn that our COW had been com
PEELED. against her will, if with OIL
consent, to be thus exposed, with
creatures of more brains but less
feelings for humanity and dccency,
than she possessed.
So shameful was this display
coupled with its design, which
was we'll understood by all who wit
PRESSED it, that since then many o
