PACIFIC MAIL.

Report OK the Ways and Means Committee
of Congress.
The report on the Pacific Mail subsidy inMesti-
cation by she Ways and Means Committee of
Congress Es long document. The committee
reviews the evidence taken during the winter,
and presents a condensed narrative of all the
facts proved during the Investigations with
comments upon them. Among the facts which
the committee declares not to have been proved
is the bribery of any member of Congress by
the advocates of the subsidy bill The report
discusses at length the manner in which money
was paid out by Irwin, and says that the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company is entitled to the bene-
fit of the statement of the managing officers,
that they did hot know of the payment off money
to corrupt legislation. The committee seems
to accept che theory that the principal portion
of the $1 DOC, 900 expended was used by Stock
well III gigantic stock-speculation. Comments
are made on the fact that money was paid to
the employees of the House and scattered around
loosely by Mr.. Irwin, and on the fact that the
committee is utterly unable to obtain n satsfac-
factory statement from Mr.. John G.. Schumacher
of what he did with the money he got from
Stockwell, and that the committee has not got
hold of W. s. King at all These men are
severely handled. ~Ihe committee refers to the
great difficulties in the way of obtaining evil
dence and winds up it's report with two
resolutions and two bills to be acted
on by the House. The committee recommends
that the evidence relative to Messrs Schumacher
and King, who are elected members of the
next House, be certified to the next House, to
take such action in regard to their conduct as it
may see fit and that it also be furnished to the
local District Attorney to take such action in
regard to King as may be proper. One of the
bills provides for an official List of persons prac
ticing as attorneys before Congress, in which
every person who engages professionally in
influencing legislation must sign his name.
The second bill provides proper penalties for
employee in Congress by any person for services
rendered while they are engaged in their official
duties.
