Grafton OF the difficulty of providing
for the equipment of such an under

The adjudication of this as well as the
reward itself is to be made by three
persons approved by both parties, of

who have had experience in Arctic
service, and who must therefore be
competent for the duty kindly under

The Pacific Mail investigation was
resumed to-day. Kasson was the only
member present. Henry Clues
testified that he was a director of the
Pacific Mail Company. and thought he
went in under the Stockwell admins
tration. He had no recollection of a
resolution passed authorizing the eX-
penditure Of -onev for subsidy: did
not know Irwin was employed to pro-
cure a subsidy until ate. it was OBJ
tanned. Had no knowledge of the
means used and expenses incurred to
obtain the subsidy: waS a member of
the Auditing Committee after the sub
Sidy was obtained: did not know Of
any accounts audited relating to these
expenses. Never knew of any money
expended by Irwin until the Spring of
1913. Was of the opinion that all
knowledge of expenses incurred for
subsidy was studiouslv kept from the
Board Of Directors. Thought Stock
well was a large gamer in the Spring
and loser in the Fall of 1872 by dealing
in Pacific Mail stocks. No knowledge
came to the directors as a board Of

The VicksburS Examination.
NICKsBURG, Jan. ,.
The Congressional Investigating
Committee to-day continued to exam
inc Colonel Miller, who testified to the
condition of affairs generally in Mis-
Si>sippi, of which he drew a gloomy
pi,ture. and attributed the trouble to
the utter inability of the whites to
control the negro vote or keep it from
the influence of corrupt carpet-baggerS
and political rascals. He stated that
since the war lands in the State had
deprecated 80 10 10 per N in value.
and taxes were so high the people
were unable I o pay them. and in many
cases allow them to be forfeited to the
State. From a conversation with CroS-
by, he thought Governor AneS and
Superintendent of Public Instruction

fellows. The Governor is at your
back, and steps will be taken for your
relief. He will be able and YOU need

what will lie his action, but You will
be all right. We are opposed to any
and all compromises. Your friend,

next witness. His evidence was I'M
important. The Democratic members
of the committee will ask that Gov

The vicksbur= Trouble Affairs Be-
coming More Complicated.
NICKsBURG, Jan. 9.
The Supervisors have issued an or
der to Sheriff Crosby to appear on
Monday and show cause why his bond
should not be declared insufficient.
Lehman accepted ~Flannagin's bond,
and issued his certificate of election as
Sheriff of Warren county. elected at
the election held last Thursday; though
the Legislature at the late-called SEES
sion had repealed the act allowing
a special election in such cases. The
latter last night demanded the keys of
the Office. which Crosby refused to de-
liver. aid Flannagin took possession OF
"A room in court and occupied the Office
as Sheriff this morning The I.egisla-
tive investigation Committee will adj
iourn from here this afternoon to
Jackson. where the Legislature will
reas>emhle on Monday. The action of
Flanagan in assuming the office will
doubtless coinplicate matters much.
