Very slow progress is being made by
the Florida Congressional investigating

There are rumors of a coming COM

LOUISIANA.

Tie Congressional Inrestigations.
New Orleans, Dec. 1s.-The Senate
investigating committee met to-day,
and Howe announced that, in the in
terest of harmony. only five counsel for
each party would be allowed present
and members of the press. Counsel of
the party Directing to the action of the
returning board desired to make a
statement in writing. Howe thought
it would facilitate business, and hoped
it would be brief and submitted as early
as possible. Judge Campbell was per-
mitted to file a counter statement.
After discussion it was concluded TO
send for Governor Wells, in order 20
obtain information about a tabulated
statement of the state vote.
The Senate committee will probably
not be divided. 1t will work slowly,
and hopes to finish by the 18th of Jam
uary.
The House committee thus far has
examined no witnesses on the Republic
can side.
