IiLDEN's TELEGRAms.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The democratic
continue togrow embarrassed as they discuss
among themselves the question of investiga.
ting the cypher dispatches. Agents whom
Iilten has had at work among members Of
congress to discourage an inquiry seems to
have been Influential, and the probability
now +, that, unless Gen. Butler, representing
the third political element, proposes an in
vestigation, none will be made, at least for
some weeks, until the republicans have Civ
en- the democrats 9 fair opportunity to inau-
gurate il. In reply TO . direct inquiry. a. to
what his committee intended to do, Potter
to-day said: I'VE are waiting for PROPOSE
tons from the republican members who. /
understand are comforting on the natter"
A republican member laughed when Potters
reply was quoted to him, and remarked:
"You may tell Potter that the republican
members have ~consulted, and hsve agreed
unanimously thst it is the duty and, privil-
eye of the democrats to investigate their own
corruption" No meeting Of the commit.
tee will be held until Butler comes and the
democrats are apparently waiting to see what
he Ia going 10 do. None of them are will.
ing to go to New Orleans With Potter, and
the republicans will object to sending any
more delegations down there. Repubiic.n
members had an interview with SecretarI
Sherman lat night He expressed himself
satisfied with his y position, and desired
them not to continue the investigation any
further on his account. No proposition has
yet been made for more funds, but the com
m'ttee will require IN appropriation before
it can. resume buaine.s.

MISSIONARY MEETING AT THE FOURTH
STREET NJ. E. CHuRcH.-The missionary
meeting at the Fourth Street NJ. Z
Church last evening was attended by q
fair audience. The meeting was opened
by singing "From Greenlands Icy Noun.
tains," after which DR.. George addressed
the audience on missionary work in ia.
pan. Referring to the great stride that
the Empire had made in mechanical
work, be said that It was the superior
mechanical genius OF the Americans that
attracted the japanese. When Commo.
dore Wilkes visited Japan with our ships
their facilities To-. carrying great car-
goes were greatly wondered at by the ma.
lives. 1t was hardly missionary work
that brought Christianity to the Empire,
but Yankee ingenuity. The Doctor then
read a lecture delivered by a Japanese
student in New York, which was quite
interesting, giving n description Of the
Empire at the present time and con-
trastingi II with the time when the treaty
OF commerce was made between the two
nations in 1854. The Protestant popual.
ton at present numbers about 10,500.
The lecture as read by DR.. George con-
tanned good deal OF information OF the
present condition Of Japan, both a re.
CARDS religion and commerce.

/. A MOVEMENT TOWARD UNIFORM Ex-
PRESS RArEs.-We understand that the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Express Com.
pany has made a movement which will
probably result in the adoption Of uni.
form rates by 1t and the Adams Express
Company on express matter destined to
points reached by both. There has been
a brisk rivalry between the companies
since the railroad started an express oil
it's own and severed connection with the
Adams Company, and In order TO gel
business rates were lowered by each,
There Is said 10 be n movement now on
foot 10 tx the rates the same by both
companies, as before stated.

Why THE FIRE ALARM FAILED TO
WoRK.-Manager Morgan comes to the
front and explains the trouble with the
FIRE alarm telegraph yesterday morning.
1t appears that IN Tuesday afternoon
Mr.. Morgan was showing the workings OF
the apparatus to a gentleinan in the West
ern Union office, and in order to prevent
his experiments being sent to the engine
houses, the sending wire was switched of.
Leaving the,ofice shortly afterwards, Mr..
Morgan forgot to unswitch the sending
wire. Consequently, although the alarm
yesterday morning was received at the
office all right, and the operator tele.
graphed ii 10 the different engine houses,
It only completed the circuit Of the office
and then stopped. Precautions will be
taken in the future to provide against a
recurrence Of the blunder.
