The Kellogg INVESTIGATION.


NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 19.-Before the United
States Senate committee to-day Bernard Will
liams was recalled and testified that Jim
Lewis paid his way to Washington and while
in Washington Gov. Kellogg gave him all the
money he wanted. Kellogg instructed witness
to offer hurry $4,000 to 60 to Canada and not
testify. In answer to Senator Cameron's
question as to who was present when Kellogg
told witness to offer Murray 5000 witness
replied, mo body, you don't think when
man does that sort of business he's foolish
enough to have any body PRESENT." Jim
Lewis and Morris Marks tried to keep me from
coming before the committee. Lewis said
would be we'll paid. They would send me
away. Marks sent for me three times last
Saturday to come to the custom house. l
didn't 90 because l was afraid they would kill
me. l am satisfied if had gone would not
now be alive.
On cross examination the fact was developed
that witness had been in the confederate army,
that he deserted and was captured and punish
ed.
Note Williams connection with the con-
federate army may account for his failure to
collect pension claims from the Federal govern
ment.
Several witnesses were examined regarding
the election and events of 1876, but nothing of
Importance was ELECTED.

A petition signed by two hundred and twen-

The Settlement OF the Troubles Not Very

The Settlement Of the Troubles Not Very
Promising.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Commissioner Hayt
does not share the apprehensions which are en-
tertained with regard to union of all the
Utes for hostile purposes, although he says the
lookout for a quiet solution of the Ute prob
lem is not as promising as it seemed few days
ago. He says there is one powerful influence,
which the Los Pinos Utes at least are enlight-
ened enough to appreciate, and which will
probably be strong enough to restrain them and
all except those who have already engaged in
the hostilities. By becoming hostile to the
government the Indians forfeit all their treaty
rights. The Utes all together possess nearly
100000 acres of valuable land in Colorado,
from which they will be driven if they do not
remain at peace.
Commissioner Hayt expects that General
Adams will make a formal demand after the
examination now in progress is finished for the
surrender of some half dozen particular In
ans, and the result of the demand will be
the test of the ability of Chief Ouray to con-
troll his peope. It will also be the signal for
war if the demand is not complied with.
