NEW YORK, June ll.-Washing-
ton specials agree that Boulds Baker
Is a not very reputable hanger on
in Washington, but that, so far,
nothing has been shown to involve
the President Yesterdays evil
dence simply showed that Baker
and u few Southern Democrats, who
wanted offices, went to the expense
of $l7.25 to send half.rate mes
sage, giving gratuitous suggestions
AS to the Cabinet. 1t was placed
in evidence that Key did not know
Of the dispatcn until month after
he had appointed Baker Secret
Agent.
The Tri6une's Washington
special says that General Butler
stated to-day to u friend that Con-
gress will do well If an adjourn
ment is had in three weeks instead
of one. This statement, together
with Buffers public acts and pri-
vate utterauces, indicates that he
intends to do his best to create ex.
citement in the next few days. He
will probably undertake to do this
in two ways: Firsti through the
Potter Committee and second
through the judiciary Com mittee,
of which he is member.
In the Potter Committee he
will undoubtedly press an issue
with Stanley Matthews, aud Ell
deaver to bring about Conflict be-
tween the two Houses. The report
said to be favored by u majority of
the Judiciary Committee is de-
claration that it is not the purpose
Of the Potter investigation to as
sail the Presidents title. Butler
and Knott are said to be trying to
defeat that report, and Butler says
he has only begun the sensational
side of the story.
