The Tolls Closing Around Pomeroy-
What York Says.
The Pomeroy Investigating Committee examined
no witnesses to-day, because those last summoned
have not yet arrived. York said to-day that he
has discovered one or two other members OF the
Kansas Legislature who have received brides from
Pomeroy. With the downfall Of Pomeroy the cor
ruption which reigned triumphant in Kansas
since Jim Lanes time has received q blow from
which it can never recover. York thinks that
Senator Caldwell was not so much to blame, as
through his nexperience in politics he was made the
tool of Others. This Pomer0y case" he added, "is
one which occupies the attention of the entire
people OF Kansas. They are for pressing 1t to the
fullest extent now that 1t Is commenced. That the
Courts Of Kansas will deal severely with Pomeroy
is most probable" He york. has received to-day
several letters from Kansas Judges-one from a
Judge of the Supreme Court Bench-commending
the proceedings adopted for the defeat Of Pome-
roy.

the Treasury on yesterday and voted for print
ing monopoly on the day before, which would
cost the government half q million. The demo-
Gratis WINGED under these well-deserved thrusts
1t was. however, denied that all the democrats
voted for them, as Judge Holman, William R.
Roberts and three or four others voted against
both OF these schemes.

be added that the railroad companies having lines

priations, thus furnishing practical guarantee

interview with the Secretary Of the Interior
to-day, and arranged many important de-
tails of the Indian service. The general
condition Of Indian affairs is considered
satisfactory, and all proper legislation
asked of Congress in the interest OF the Presidents

is in a fair way OF settlement by the commission
sent by the Secretary Of the Interior. Almost the
entire Sioux Indians are being fed. and with but
