DEFERRED TELEGRAMs.

CHICAGO, June ia Washington
special says: The investigation by
| Joint select committee of the Harrington
bogus safe burglary is still in progress.
Developments thus far are sufficient to
! damn the whole detective system, espe-
eially the Secret Service Bureau OF the
| Treasury Department. There Is no
| longer any reason to doubt that con-
spiracv to ruin the character of Coium-
| bus Alexander, one of the leading memo
rialists before the late District lnvesu-
CATION, was put up by Colonel Whitley,
| Chief of the Secret Service Bureau, and
that he was induced TO enter upon the
| infamous job by some persons connect
ed with the ring.
| A leading Republican member of Con-
gress, who is a frequent visitor at the
| White House, stated this morning, as u
broad guess, that Governor Sheppard
and Frederick A. Sawyer, late Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, would be two
OF the persons whom the President
would appoint as Commissioners Of
the Government of the District OF Co.
| lumbia ad interim. The President, it is
said, within a day or two has expressed
intense admiration for Sheppard, who
| had grown in his estimation. On the
other hand, the friends of the Governor
say he will not accept the place on a
commission which would only be tenn
porary appointment, at best only q big
drop from the dictatorship which he had
established over the District. Sawyer,
since being turned out of the Treasury
Department, has spent the most OF his
time on the floor of the Senate. The
salary of the Commissioners will be
| $1,000 each

gang. He frequently saw old men. and
boys not over II years old, chained to
negroes and working in the streets. A
Spanish officer was standing over them,
whip in hand ready to apply the lash

of duty. Even the Spanish residents Of
the city had become disguised with the
inhumanity Of their own race, and were
disposing of their property as fast as
possible to escape from the Island.
