RECORD GENERALLY-A COMMITTEE APPOINTED
ON TIE SUBJECT.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIEUSEl
WASHINGTON. Dec. These are the days Of eau
cuses Another one was held this morning 10y the
Pepublcan Senators. This time, II was for the pur
pose Of efiecting the removal Of Mr. French, ser
geant-at arms, who has held the position for eight
years The movement for his displacement was IN
the interest Of " G.. Ordway, Of Ncw-Hampshire,
formerly occupying the position in the House.
There was full attendance this morning and no
other business was attempted.
Several Senators spoke against Mr.. Frenchs re-
tcDtion, and several accusations made.
Neither Senator Conkling nor Senator spencer who
are old-time opponents Of Mr. French, had anything
TO say to-day.
The principal accusations are that Mr.. French has
been in the habit Of deducting from the pay Of
certain employees each month a certain sum, which
heha retained, and that lie has appointed Democrats
TO Office, and in addition has been conspicuous
nepOtist. The latter accusation is urged with good
deal Of feeling by many Senator's 1t is said that he
not only has a son whose presence is Objectionable
10 Senator's but he has also ncphews and other rea
tiyes on the rolls who are inefficient Objection is
also urged against Mr.. French that his manners are
rude brusque and oyerbearing, and at times often
siye to Senator'S
Quite free discussion was had. Finally as the
best means Of ascertanng the facts, coWmittee
was appointed to investigate the accusations and
the general condition of affairs The committee
consists Of Messrs. Jones, Of Nevada Howe and
Cameron, Of Pennsylvania. The committee as
sembled soon after, and Mr.. French was sent for.
II is understood that TO the accusation of de-
Quoting portion Of the wages Of men employed
by him, Mr.. French answers that he has
never retained a penny. He has, however.
with the consent of the person employed
used portion Of his wages to employ another man
IN order to give employment to more persons. For
example, two men are equally well recommended
ior position under the sergeant-at-arms. There IS
only money enough to pay one Of them at the rates
prevailing Aproposition is made that both shall
20 10 Work and divide the money. As the wages
paid are more than double the pay Of the
common laborer both men arc very glad
TO accept the proposition. OF course only
one name can 90 on the roll and only one can legally
draw the money. In regard to the accusation that
MI French appoints Democrats it is understood that
he GOES not deny it; but he says the number is very
small being merely enough to attend at the Demo-
cralle COMMITTEE rooms. the doors Of Democratic

doubt that Mr.. French viii he removed; that the
Republicans are LARGELY against him, and that the
caucus must follow the majority. Mr.. frenchs
friends say that q combination has been formed
