COMING EXCITING. 81.
WASHINGTON, April S.--The safe-burglary
examination Is becoming very exciting.
This was conspiracy to rob the safe of the
District attorney, and place the eontentsiin
way TO connect him eriminal)y with The
Transaction. Il was d moek-robbery, and
the papers taken to Alexapder's house were
worthless. Some ex.ofieials and those who
escaped by hung jury two years ago are
telling the whole story. Whitley duplicates

Z It appears from Whitely's evidence that
Columbus Alexander only escaped by the
mock. burglars mistakiDg the hour. They
were directed to do their work at 10 O'Clock,
but, read their Instructions ! O'clock, and
could not get any one at Alexsnder,s house
awake at O'Clock to receive the stolen pa-
pers. General Babeock gave Whitley as
surances of protection should anything ugly
happen. Whitley was afraid OF the j3b.
Whitley understood that the proceedings
against himself and Harrington, after the
jury disagreed, were dismissed by order of
the President. Atall events, Babcock took
an order ostensibly signed by President
Grant, addressed to the Attorney. General,
directing him to haveall proceedings stopped.
General Babcock was before the committee,
and gave general denial Of Whitely's state.

WASHINGTON, April S:-Wild rumors pre-
vail that Bristow has resigned ia consequence
Of Hendersoh's testimony, in which Bristow
Is made to say that he had no confidence in
the Administration. BristoW left suddenly
for Kentucky few days ago. Some OF bis
friends say he has only gone for his health,
but it is singular he had no idea Of such a
trip before Henderson testified. Secretary
Burnham says Bristow will be here Monday
or Tuesday, and that he went on pressing
private business. "st .s,s
INTERESTING ITEMS.
WARRINGTON. April S-Secretary Robson
has been in Philadelphia since Thursday.
The naval investigation commences there
Monday with closed doors.
The Committee on Military Affairs of the
House have called on Secretary Taft for new
estimates for the ensuing fiscal year. They
have Belknap's figures, but do not trust
them. = 80 III
The Committee on Expenditures in the
Department of Justice have uDearthed the
following: The Solicitor General has man
named Burr in his Office who Is mainly re-
lied upon In consultations. Burr, before the
committee, testified that when the Parkman.
Brooks case was referred to him he made
an adverse report, and said the claim should
never be passed. General Roddy, agent for the
claim, came to Burr after wards, and said !:
s:The claim must psss. The President
wants It to be DONE" CHOW Is that ?" said
Burr. Roddy took q document from his
pocket signed gu. S. Grant, addressed
c. To whom it may concern" which gave q
good character to Roddy, slyiDg be was
man in whom perfect trust could be placed.
Burr did not know whether this was really
written by the President or not. It Is be.
lieyed by the committee that it was. The
subsequent h:story,-o of the claim, 1t is alleged,
shows that it was only by cooperation In
some way of eX.Assistant Secretary Sawyer
that 1t was finally passed.
:. The bill extending the limits within which
indictments may be brought SO as to cover
the safe-burglary cases has passed both
Houses, and is in the hands Of the Presi-
dent. ST
4 Among the notable speeches in the House
to-day was one by Mr.. Williams, Of Alabama,
in favor Of the Texas Pacific railroad.
Congressional Printer Clapp states that on
account of printing the CongresSionl Record
the appropriation was insufficient. He had
ayailed himself of the legal privilege to draw
from the Treasury to the amount OF two
thirds of his bond, and, following the prae-
tice of his predecessors, had used the pro-
ceeds of the sales to supply the deficiency as
the only means to prevent stoppage.
