taking testimony, an effort Was made
| by the gentleman, who Was supposed to
DO most deeply concerned In these In
destinations, to take the consideration
Of those questions from the organ Of the
House and to report upon them In per-
son. He need not remind the House
what sort Of D report would come from
that committee II the gentleman from
Maine were allowed to make IL. After
the House had ordered an Investigation
1t was not only unexafnpled but entirely
against Legislative practice for gentle-
man to rise and undertake to anticipate
the conclusions OF the committee, or 10

had been. When the subcommittee
was organized the gentleman from
Maine had expressed himself not only
satisfied but pleased with It's members,
and now that gentleman complains that

Of the gentleman from Maine a day had
been appointed on which the sub-com-
nittee was to enter upon It's duties, and
now the gentleman told the House that
he had learned first from the sub-com-
mittee that he was the rarity to be inves-
tigated and not the Union Pacific Com
pany. So far from that being SO, the
first that he utunt0n) Rad heard from
any member Of the House or VI the
committee on the subject was from
MR.. BLAINE HIMSELF,

absent or requested an adjournment. |
In regard to the Northern Pacific aud |
Kansas Pacific Railroads Investigation,
he had told Mr.. Blaine that the COM

which touched him, II he desired it.
Mr.. Blaine had desired the committee
to do 50, and yet he seemed very much
surprised now TO find that an iuvestign-

mittee that involved an exnininni ion
into these Pacific railroads, and that IL
