NEw YORK, December 16.-The report OF
a dividend on the Chicago, st. Louis and
New Orleans is premature. The question
is under consideration, but nothing is de-
termined.
There is some idea of a close union be-
tween the Illinois Central and Chicago, ST.
Louis and New Orleans Company, but the
matter has not yet assumed any definite
shape.
The latest report is that one per cent
will be paid on Michigan Central.
Plans are nearly perfected by the En-
glish land companies for the purchase OF
large tracts on the line of the Atlantic
and Pacific and other Western roads.
There is a good borrowing demand for

WASHINGTON, December ls.-The Speaker
announced the following special committee
on the expenses attending the illness and
burial of President Garfield: Messrs. Tay-
lor, Bound, Cox of New York, Joyce,
Lefevre, Belford, Blackburn; Page, Springer,
O'Neil and Shelly.
Mr.. Robinson, Of New York. rose to a
question Of privilege. He stated that he
had a resolution which he would offer.
During the recess of Congress, an officer of
the Government, connected with the State
Department, had usurped privileges of the
House.
The Speaker-The gentleman has already
disclosed what hesdesires. Proceed to bus
mess.
Mr.. Robinson-This is a question involv-
ing the privilege of the House.
The Speaker-It is not matter relating
to a member of the House.
Mr.. Robinson-It relates to the whole
House. 1t is ursupation by department
of this government. 1t involves the i'm
prisonment of our citizens abroad. We can
getnothing into this Congress. The rights OF
our citizens cannot be heard. Loud cries
of order l will not press itnow, but you
will hear from me again.
The call of States was then continued,
commencing at the point where it left off

Der of bills were introduced and referred.

WASHINGTON, December l6.-The sub
committee of the Senate Committee on Ap-
preparations appointed to investigate the
contingent fund account, met this morn
Colonel K. J. Hinton, editor and proprietor
of the Washington Sunday Gazette, was eN-
amined as to his knowledge of the truth or
falsity of the charges publishedin his paper
affecting the integrity of Secretary Sher-
man and q number OF other Treasury De-
partment officials. He testified that he
had no personal knowledge of the truth of
the charges, but from information from va.
rious sources he believed that most of
them could be substantiated, although it
was not improbable that some of them,
might be disproved. He suggested to the
committee that information corroboratiye
of the published charges could be found in
the testimony taken by the Melin investi-
eating commissioners of the Treasury De-
partment officials, and further recommend
ed that the Committee summon Treasurer
Gilfillan, Deputy Collector Tarbell, Chief
Clerk Power, ex-Custodian Pitney, eSAp5
pointment Clerk Lampher and several
others as witnesses, whose testimony would
be useful for the purposes OF investigation.

nations to the Senate: Benjamin Harris

Ii is announced that the English gov
ct" ment cOntemplateS indieting OCOn-
nor and Healy for conspiracy on their
return from this country, basing the ac
cUsatiOa on the part they took in the
Chicago Land League Convent III.
They certainly signed the call for the
convention, but in the deliberations of
that body they took no part. They
were invited to consult with the Com
mittee on Resolutions and possibly did
take part in the all-night session of that
body; but it would be a pretty difficult
thing for the English government to
find out what share they had in
shaping the resolutions, and still
more difficult to prove it. Accordingto
convention gossip one of the gentlemen
to be indicted was very conservative in
his eounsels. BY the way, if the two
lrishmon who were not delegates to the
convention and did not take part in its
deliberations are to be prosecuted, would
1t not be well for the British govern
mens for eOnsistency's sake to prosecute
the Cdnsdian delegates? There were
sevc'al sctiveand enthusiastic represen-
tatiyes from canadiaR land leagues at
Chicago and they got 4 right royal wei
come. Though the convention declared
the Dominion to be virtually part OF the
United States, we presume Great Brit
ada stili maintains some claim on Cana
dan allegiance.
