THE MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY.

ANN ARBoR, Mich, Feb. 3.-Dr. Rose vas put
on The witness-stand before the University Con-
mittee, and gave full account, as lie under
stands it, Of his dealings with the laboratory
and Dr.. Douglas. He had prepared complete,
systematic account Of all moneys received into
the laboratory By him, and paid over to Dr..
Douglas. b it, it appears that Douglas is in
debted to Dr. Rose Tor 1881, instead Of Rose
having been defaultcr to the University.
Every penny paid Douglas has its receipt, which
Rose has thus far kept to himself. There is
more to be developed yet His party say the final
result will snow Douglas still more largely
indebted to Rose, and very deeply III
debt to the University. While the Committees
OF Investigation heretofore have found Rose
short caSh year since 1866 several hundred dol
lars, be shows clearly tnat in some years be had
oyerpaid Douglas, and, while in others there
was u balance OF from $50 to S150 due Douglas.
This Vas settled during the summers vacation,
and he produces proof OF these settlements in
bank checks ~rs.W'n iu favor Of Douglas and paid
to him. This Is quite letting down from the
~ GOO claimed against Rose us stolen by him.
His friends claim that the cross-examination
will be unable to pick siugle daw in his testi-
mony.

ST. PAU, Mimi, Fcp. A-Thc Senate to-day
ordered the Committee on Federal Relations to
report on the question Of granting leave OF ab-
scncc to Senator Finseth that he 1ylay obey the
summons to appear before the House Commit
TIC at Washington to testify relative to his eli
gibillty as IN Elcctor. The Committee will re-
port Monday, recommending that leave be
granted in courtesy to Congress, but denying
the right Of Congressional Committee to re-
quire State Senator to leave his seat. The
Democrats affect to believe the Senate will nev-
erthcless refuse leave; but declare they can es-
tablsh the fact OF Fiuscth's ineligibility with
out his presence: They assert That tile
first papers which Finseth exhibits
wers really made since his election as
Elcctor, being fraudulent, dated in alarh h, 1875;
that the records Of the same have been inter-
pcllated among the records OF similar papers
issued in lS773, ind that they will prove these
assertions BY the most respectable citizens of
Goodhuc County. Republicans not personally
interested are willing to couccde the whole Us Il
specimen Of common disrespect lor the natural

now TOO late to affect the Presidential vote Of
