ing anu Hlquireu WheJner springer was
correct in his belief that Finley had no
authority to represent Mr.. Tilden in
respect to the Donnelly election case,
or to make any communication in be-
half Of Tilden respecting it to Springer.
Mr.. Tilden said that Mr.. Springer was
perfectly right. Finley had no pretense
Of authority to represent him in that
matter or in anything else. Mr.. Tilden
has in no way whatever, directly or in
directly, interfered with any election
case before the committee. He has
nver expressed any wish to any human
bling concerning the Donnelly election
case. He is not and has not been in
communication with MIR. Finley. Mr..
Springer knew perfectly well that if
Mr.. Tilden had any communication to
make to him on that or any other sub
! ject he would have done so directly, as
/ he had plenty of opportunities to do so.
He has several times recently had the
pleasure of seeing Mr.. Springer, but on
no occasion did Mr.. Tilden say word
about any election case pending before
the House OF Representatives.
1t is now understood that Secretary
| Evarts motive for delaying response
to the House resolution of inquiry con-
corning the progress of negotiations
with China for restriction of Mongo-
liam immigration has been fear that a
response showing that practically noth
ing has been accomplished would OBJ
struct, or possibly prevent, the contir
, nation of tae proposed commission to
continue to deal with the same subject
+. by negotiation, instead of giving Con-
gress free field to try the vir-
tue OF legislation. 1t is unoffici-
ally foreshadowed that the re-
Spouse, now daily expected, will assert
that the failure to make any progress
beyond mere preliminaries has been
owing to the Congressional requirement
for Stewards presence in this country,
etc., but that satisfactory results are
confidently expected to be attained by
the new Minister and his associate COM
missioners.
The Democrats OF the House Pacific
Railroad Committee are all said to be
very hostile to the plan to extend the
grant Of the Northern Pacific. A DEM
ocrat who has canvassed the Committee
says that for partisan purposes the
Democrats desire. to recover these
lands, which in time will be worth to
the Government $40, 600, coo, and that
they will go to the people with the dec
laration that they have just recovered
from the Immigrant monopoly an en-
pire of land.
The Chicago Journals Washington
special sayG: c. w. Moulton, Secre-
tary Sherman's Rrother-inia law, who was
in this city yesterday, informed your

Ohio was of the most satisfactory char
acter, and he returns her fully con-
WINGED that he will have practically the
the united support Of tAe Ohio delega-
tion.
