porting and publishing of the debates to

can.
Mr.. Beatty again moved the previous

ton was seconded-S2 to 43.

AMES.

WASHINGTON, February 19. - The
Special Committee of the Senate, with
Senator Morrill, as Chairman, met this
morning.
Oakes Ames was recalled. He testi-
fled that the first he ever heard about
the checks given Harlan was from Har-
Ian himself, who came to him one day
in the cloak-rOom of the House and said
he wanted to return ten thousand dol
lars to the Pacific Railroad Company;
witness told him he knew nothing
about it; Harlan said his attention had
been called to it by Alley, and if money
came from the road he wanted to return
it; Harlan seemed much worried about
the matter; he thought John B. Alley
could give more information in reference
to the check given Harlan than any
one else.
In answer to the questions of Mr..
Clark, witness testified that the Pacific
Railroad Company never made any de-
msnd on Mr.. Harlan for money. Wit
ness thought the account of Mr.. Durant
had never been settled; did not remem-
Der Of it containing an item for this
check; Durant was Vice-President and
General-Manager of the road and had
absolute control Of it; did not know
how Mr.. Durant got money out of the
treasury of the company. Witness did
not remember of having disclosed to
either Mr.. Dawes or Mr.. Bartlett the
conversation between himself and Mr..
Harlan about ten thousand dollars.
Ex-senator Fowler, of Tennessee,
was sworn, and testified that he had a
conversation with McComb, and under
stood from him that Mr.. Ames had
Credit Mobilier stock to be distributed.
He had been offered the Credit Mobilier
stock by Mr.. Ames, but declined to re-
ceive it, because he understood from
the explanation made by Mr.. Ames,
that by taking the stock he might bring
his private interest into conflict with
his public duties, and he wanted to
avoid that.
Charles H. Crane, of New York, will
be examined tomorrow.

The challenge issued by william Scharfr, OF the
Mckee Boat Club, to row any man in America
single scull race OF ve miles for purse OF $4,000,
was this afternoon accepted by Henry Coulter, and
the men and their friends met tonight and drew
up and signedartieles There was a large assem-
blags OF the sporting fraternity present, and much
interest was manifested In the proceedings. The
only hitch between the parties was in the selection
OF the day Tor contest, Coulter wanting q day In
August liked for the struggle, so as to allow him
time 10 get back from Ithaca, N. y, where he Is
engaged TO train the Cornell crew for the College
Regatta. Scharn wished to row within one month,
but finally saturday. August 2, was agreed upon.
The race Is for purse OF $4,000, and is to be
rowed on course within twenty miles OF the city
OF Pittsburg, Schar having the privilege OF naming
the course. John w. Pittock was selected as final
stakeholder, and deposit OF $500 was placed in
his hands, Coulter IL known everywhere In the
country as a skilled oarsman, but Scharn though
he has not so great reputation, Is considered
hereabOuts as one or the finest r0wers that ever
sat in a boat. He Is only twenty-five years old and
has never been beaten. The proposed race in the
opinion OF every one, will be most t0ughly cen
tested, and will be. Perhaps one OF the finest on
Western waters.
