Whitewashing Report,

WASHINGTON, May i9.-The sub-conmit-
tee Of the Ways and Means, which has charge
OF tho fur seal Investigation, seems to be get
ting ready TO whltewrsh the Alaska Commercial
Company. The charges against this company
are that II secured its lease from Boutwell, and
Richardson by frauds, and that 1t has repeatedly
and grossly violated the terms OF the contract
by which II holds the immensely profitable
monopoly OF the seal fisheries. It has always
been supported by ;he Nng chiefs here, and
1t was believed at the time that 1t was the over
bearing influence OF the White House Ring
which coerced Boutwell, from the straiebt path
and compelled him to give the lease In the nfst
place to Hutchinson, Cole x Co.. whom Gen.
JEFF. Davis had already denounced In an officil
report as "a Ring OF desperate speculatOrs,"
titled to II under the act, and whose bid was so
manifestly the highest and best for the Gov
ernment that even Richardson and Boutwell,
would not give the lease to the Alaska CONNER
cial Company except on this very GOidstone bid
Tne c0rnpa can afford to Spend any mount OF
and II has accordingly produced all the witnesses
Ii required, while the committee has refused to
summon a single witness on the other side, and
has closed the case without doing so.
A part OF the GoldstOne lid which Richard
son allowed the Alaska Company to ADOPT was q
proposal to pay into the lreasury hfty- hye cents
per gallon seal oil. This tax Richardson sub
sequently remitted, and It IL alleged that N he
present lease continues undisturbed until II eI
