The Senate Subcommittee Investigation
Commenced,

commenced.
New ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-THE Senate sub
Spofford case met this morning.
Henry Howsock, night watchmaD at Gov
ernor kellogg's residence in 1876, took the
stand and testified regarding the visits of the
returning board officials to kellogg. Witness
appeared somewhat nervous. He heard a
great deal of talk, but the only conversation
to which he could swear positively was that
he heard kellogg say the House of Representa-
tives of the State Legislature had gone Demo-
cratic. Blanchard and Jewett visited Kellogg
frequently, and Blanchard told witness they
were working on election returns. These par
ties usually came in the back way.
The cross-examination showed that the
governor and all who came in carriages ca me
in the same way, the governors office being
most accessible by this entrance. Witness
admitted that he tried to get place In the
Custom House, and q friend of his had written
a letter to Senator Kellogg, to which witness
name was signed, threatening to go before the
committee and testify unless witness got a
place Blanchard was at this time clerk in
Kellogg's office.
Louis F. Garrick testified that few months
ago p. g. Desland, secretary of state in 1870,
told him that the Legislature that elected
kellogg to the Senate had no quorum; If he
(Desland) was not poor man he would make
a clean breast and tell all he knew about the
matter. Witness advised Desland to do SO.
Witness wrote to Senator Gordon about Des-
lands disaffection to the Republicans, repeat
ing in the letter what Desland had said. Des-
land seemed sore because he could get moth

postofiice, which only paid about $50 per
month.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l3-Upon representa-
tions of numerous affidavits of special agents
of the postoffice department, Postmaster Gen.
eral Key has arrived at the conc usion that all
lottery companies and lottery agents are doing
fraudulent business within the purview of his
statutory powers concerning "schemes to de-
fIaud the publfc.' He has, therefore, to-day,
commenced the issuance OF special orders
to postmasters at specined cities,
directed by name, against all persons
known to be concerned IN the lottery busi-
ness, forbidding postmastelS to pay any postal
money order or TO deliver registered letters
to persons thus named. The money orders and
registered letters are to be returned to the
senders, and the letters are to be stamped with
| the word "Fraudulent." In view also of tne
| fact that M ost of the persons engaged in sell
ing lottery tickets are doing business under
assumed names, the department has also
issued instructions for the rigid enforcement
of existing regulations, which requires post
masters TO send all ordinary mail matter
addressed to names that ere known to be
fictitious to the dead letter office. The special

The st. Louis Millers Shut Down ON Account
of the Price of Wheat.

81. LOUIS, Nov. 4.-rhere is movement
among the millers here to close their mills
until the price of wheat declines. Two mills
closed To-Day; two more will shut down as
soon as what wheat they have on hand is
general. The principal reason assigned for
this is that flour Is below the price of wheat,
and can only be made at a loss Many mtllers
have already lost heavily on contracts, made
when wheat was less than u per busnel, anu
But little -four has been shipped from here
during the last three weeks, and large amounts
are in s,ore-more than enough TO supply all
isfied that there must be a decline In wheat
pretty soon: at all events, they will not pur-
chase until the price falls, CT there is q margin
on -four.

Col, Nov. 1.-THE commission organized yes.
terday. Present, General Hatch, General Ad-
ans, Chief Ouray, First Lieutenant Gustavus
Valois, of the Ninth cavalry, recorder and
legal adviser; j. Townsend, of New Mexico,
interpreter for the commission. Adjourned to
meet this forenoon. 1t is now in session. AS
yet no Indians have put In an appearance.
Ouray evidently feels the responsibilities rest
ing uron him, and the next 10 days VIII test
his power over the White river Utes. An
Indian council was held last night, but
the result has not been disclosed. IL
Ouray controls its deliberations, the Indians
will be on hand to give their testimony in
relation to the White River troubles. II not,
the commission will fail, and the army will
have to fight 1t out. The commission Is har-
monfous. and peaceful settlement of affairs
rests entirely with the Utes. The Indians have
no excuse or grounds of intimidation, as Gen.
eral Hatch came through without any troops.
He is anxious to accomplish the purpose for
which the commission was convened. Chief
Douglass is expected at the agency
o.day. He has signifed willing
ness TO testify In relation TO the affairs
of White river, but last ghi . council Will
undoubtedly control his acuons In that direc-
tion. Gutro is q disturbing element toward a
peaceful solution OF the trouble, and, having
considerable influence with certain class of
Indians, is liable to make Ouray much trouble.
