Mr. Potter is not in Washington, and

CONGRESS, HAVING PASSED THE PENSION AIREAR-
AGES BILL, NOW DOUBTFUL ABOUT APPROPRIATE
ING THE MONEY THEREFOR.
by TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBCNE.I
WAsHING1ON, Feb. lowing TO the general tone
of adverse criticism upon the Pension Arrears bill
by the press of both parties the opinion is prevalent
here that the whole scheme will be allowed TO fail
for want Of an appropriation by Congress. II is Ger
tain that if any member of either House becomes
sponsor for an appropriation bill 10 carry ont the
provisions of this measure he will find mucn more
spirited opposition than was made when the bill
itself was beng discussed.
Tie committees of both Houses seem to have re-
lied upon the ciam-agents exclusively for ntorma-
tiOn as to the probable workings of the scheme, for
the Commissioner of Pensions was kept lnignorancc
that such bill was being discussed until after it
had passed both Houses Of Congress and was ready
for the Presidents signature. The bill introduced
by Mr. Rice, in reference to which the Commissions
er wrote the letter which quoted in debate was
a widely different affair.
Another Pension Arrears bill has been before Con-
Cress for a long time, If winch the Commissioner
speaks favorably. bat which has no merits IN the
eyes Of the claim-agc gents. 1t provides that pen
sion shall begin when the proof establishing dis
ability is fled I'm other words when il is ask fo-.

iBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUSE.l
W4suI~GTo~ Feb. 2.-TheIe is another hitch IN
,l,e nroccedinps of the Potter Committee. Nh Nc
Mahon. whom Mr.. Potter appointed on Friday to
,r..Ide over the subcommittee 10 visit Newl OTk,
declined on Saturday TO serve, on the ground L Is
understood that he represents an Ohio district,
and being in favor of the nomination OF Mr. Thur
man for the Presidency next year, might be msuu-
dprStood II he should take prominent part in I'M
esrlhlng tie frauds By which Mr.. TIldcn was to
have proftod. This leaves the subcommittee with
ont head. and the matter can hardly be arranged
before the return of Mr.. Potter from New-A orA on
tuesday morning.
There are daily growing evidences thar the Demo
cratic portion Of the Potter Committee is getting
sick of the CIPHER conspiracy investigation before
is begun. The Democrats set the inquiry on foot in
the belief that they had clews TO testimony that
would DO great damage TO the Republicans and
thus give them some ground for replying. when the
CIPHER conspiracy should be referred to IN the
future, that the Republicans could say nothing
about that scandal since shey tarred with the
same stick. Those clcws were in regard to the
TvUcr and Brady dispatches, aud now that those
diSpaic chcS have been produced a. the Democrats
dId not expect they would be and turn ont 10 nave
contained nothing on which 10 base q scandal OF
even the smallest dimensions the Democrats have
lost interest the inquiry, winch Is dtog tuc TOO
one sided for their taste.
The subcommittee will not begin its work IL
