New YORK Mar 1.-The Tribune's special
from Washington says that many more irregu

at the expense of the disarict; the cost of the

A Washington special says that it is probable
a resolution will be introduced in few DAYS
calling for the papers relating to the Sanb IN
contracts, which were not sent to the House in
answer to former calls. One of the papers not
sent in is described as protest against the
operations of the contract system by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, who, in an in
formal letter to the Secretary. set forth the eff
feet OF the proceedings uader the contracts
upon collections by the Internal Revenue bu-
reau. 1t is understood that this matter has
been compromised by an arrangement that the
Ways and Means Committee shall make con-
fidential examination of this protest at the de-
partment before asking the House to call for
its publication by a resolution. 1t is claimed
that several names were omitted from the con-
tracts sent to the House.
