THE SUBSIDY BUSINESS.
The eInVestiEAtiOnin IN New York Wound
Up-IrWfn In a Tight Place.


NEw YORK, Jan. 2.-Henry Clews tes-
titled that he was a director Of the Pacific
Mail Company, and thought he went in
under the StOckWell administration; he
was not a member of the Executive Com
mittee in February, 1872. Had no recOl-
lection of a resolution passed authorizing
the expenditure Of money to procure
a subsidy. Never knew of any
money expended by Irwin until
the spring Of 1873. Witness was Of Opin-
ion that all knowledge Of the expenses in
Cured for the subsidy were studiOusly
kept from the Board Of Directors. 10
knowledge came 10 the directors as a board
Of money spent to procure a subsidy until
after it became a law. When the board
did learn the fact, it was a matter Of sur
prise to them.
Mr.. Lockwood whose father was Chair
man Of the Executive Committee Of the
Pacific Mail Company at the lime Of his
death in February 1852, testified that his
father and Mr.. Billings were opposed to
Stockwell spending money in these opera
tiOns at Washington.
a. L. Phelps, Second Vice President Of
the Company, testified that be was told by
President StOckWell that money was spent
in Washington. StOckWell said he sup
posed if there should be a Congressional
Investigation into the matter he would
have to send Irwin out Of the country. He
thought this was in September. Witness
knew that after the previous session Of the
Legislature, when the subsidy had failed to
be procured, Irwin told Mclean it could
not be obtained without the expenditure of
half million dollars. Mclean reported
this at a meeting Of the Board Of Directors,
when it was promptly voted down.
The subcommittee then adjourned 10
make their report to the full committee at
Washington Wednesday next.

VINITA, INDIAN TERRITORY, Jan. p
Everything was quiet last night and until 8
o'clock this afternoon, when news came
that the mob were at PTyOu's Creek again
last night and killed three men, supposed
to be the men whom they captured yester-
day. If this is the case, we anticipate
trouble all round, as Hatchett, one Of the

The Origin Of the Dimeulty.
ST. LOUIS. Jan. 2.--The DeHecr0t has
a letter from Tahlequah, Indian Territory,
which gives the following version Of the
affair reported last Thursday night from
Chelopa, Kansas, rs having occurred near
ChOwtan, Cherokee Nation: Jack DOub-
letOOth. who was one Of the leaders in the
late riot at Tahlequah, and Thomas Cox,
a white man, brought a load OF whisky into
the Territory from Kansas, and had pro-
ceeded as far as FTyor's creek, where they
were met by Deputy Sherifs Kon-
sine and CobstOne, with a posse,
who had gone to spill the whisky
under the laws of the Cherokee
nation. DOubletooth and Cox resisted,
and a fight ensued. Cox and DOubletOoth
killed Konsine and C0lston was wounded.
The latter after being wounded fed to the
brush and Konsine was taken home by the
posse. Wash. Ways, another Indian, who
witnessed the fight and who had an old
grudge against COlston, gathered party OF
friends and pursued and overlook him and
riddled his body with bullets. Ways and
party then fed to Chateau, intrenched
themselves in a log house, and declared
they would not be taken alive. The Sherih
of the district al last accounts was organ
izing a posse to capture them.
