WASHINGTON, June 21.-Theo. French,
Commissioner Of Railroads, has returned
and resumed charge of his office in the In
terror Department. He says he went to
California on his annual tour of inspection
and examination of Pacific Railroad mat
tiers, and that there issconsequently no oe-
casion for a special report to the Secretary
Of the Interior concerning it in advance
Of his regular annual report next Novem-
Der. He also says that he has no report
to make to the Attorney-General concerning
the Government suit now pending against
the Central Pacific Railroad Company in
New York, as that matter was several
months ago referred to District Attorney
Woodford, with whom he placed himself in
communication while in California, and
whom he intends to see in New York to-
morrow. He will also while in that city
make o further examination of the &C.
counts OF the Central Pacific Railroad
Company, and is assured that it will
promptly pay into the United States Treas
ury whatever he still finds to be due from
it to the Government under the require
ments of the Thurman Funding bill. In
view of this understanding and the salts
factory result Of his Investigations in Cali
fornia, he has no doubt the pending suit
will be discontinued. French says his fear
that the interests Of the Government were
in danger from leases, etc., made by the
Central Pacific Railroad Company was re-
moved by discovering that the written re-
ports furnished him on these subjects had
been obscure, imperfect and erroneous,
anI bic 1okfar N DractIanf C4anfo~l atat
ing his conclusions, was written to him in
compliance with a request made by the
latter while they were still engaged in ex-
aiming the accounts in California, and
with the explanation that it would be for
warded to him from the company's Office
to Europe. Commissioner French also re-
marks that he has not yielded any part of
his claims on the part Of the Government
against the company, but that, on the con-
trary, they will be paid in full according to
his official ascertainment and computations.
COnkling More Cheerful.
New York, June 20. -Conkling, Plat
and Grant this morning vent down town
on business. Conkling will not go to AL
bany at present, and he will attend to some
legal business here. He has been compil-
tJk II OllICl tNlQClCC u III DAot LuE6t
days and is more cheerful than at any time
since the investigation began, mingling
freely with the guests and visitors at the
hotel without ceremony. 1t was the gen.
eral belief that this week would have ended
the session but for the bribery revelations.
A Post Albany special says that ex-Vice
President Wheeler said to-day that the only
way out of the difficulty is to elect for Sem
ators one named by Conkling.
