In the Senate, on the 18th, Mr.. Davis
(Dem-, w. ya-l called up his resolution for
the appointment OF a special committee of
five Senators 20 inquire into alleged dis
crepancies in the books and accounts Of the
Treasury Department.
Mr.. Davis said that similar resolution
had been submitted by him at the last se~-
sion, and the task OF Investigation had been
assigned TO the Committee on Finance.
That already oyer-burdened committee had
been unable 10 make the investigation, and
he had decided to again ask for a special
committee. He had not been governed M

changes had been made in the official finance
reports OF the Treasury Department.; that
these changes were made between 1s6a and
1871, and extended back 10 cover period OF

that the statements made by the Secretary OF

Mr.. Habberton's unfortunate APP
pearance as a lecturer in Chicago, says
the Tribune, was partly the fault Of his
agent. He had agreed to deliver a GER

pected To break the ice in small country
towns. Instead Of this, he was forced
10 make his debut in Chicago, and, be-
fore large and brilliant audience, was
overcome by stage fright.

Max Adeler takes his failure as
playwright good-nattiredly, attributing
i 70 his ignorance of the requirements
u the stage. He was unable to get the
characters into and out Of the scenes
smoothly, and their movements were
ludicrous in way not intended. His
eliminating difficulty was in making an
end to the play, and be accomplished
i by having all the characters enter
abruptly, when enough time had been
consumed, and close the representation
without any attempt TO unravel the plot.
