A letter from Washington in the Baltimore

A letter from Washington in the Baltimore
Sun SAYS: Il. is said there Is to be something
of a debate in the Senate on the resolution
providing for a joint special committee to IN,
vestigatc the affairs Of this District as several
Senators have indicated an intention to submit
remarks when the resolution COMES up for &C
ton Senator Thurman proposed to take 1t up
this afternoon, but objection was made. The
District authorities profess to be perfectly will
ing that an investigation should be had. Their
only objection is that it will for the time being
prevent the progress of work now golug on,
aud will for the time being delay any inauclal
aid from the government, which they urge Is
much needed at this time. For some reason
or other the memorialists opposed any lnvestl-
CATION by the District committee, aud they have
gained victory to the extent OF having a spe-
cial committee ordered.
