WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The de-
feat of the River and Har6or bill1
Yesterday WAS entirely unexpected
by members of the Committee on
Commerce and by its numerous
friends on the floor. AT the two
previous sessions il has been some
what dif1icultto bring the members
of the House to vote to pass the
measure without debate, under q
suspension of rules, but the humber
b of members interested in sums
,. given to their districts has hersto-
fore carried IL through. On this oe-
casion, however, while the sums for
the more important works OF the
country seem to have been ample,
there were go many works OF no
great importance provided Tor in
the bill, aud the total had been
swelled to such an unusual amount
that unexpected opposition WAS en-
counttred and the measure failed
by few votes. 1t ISL not the pres
ent purpose OF the Committee on
Commerce to present the BIZ! for
discussion in the Committee Of the
Whole, but in case they can rally
sufficient votes to carry ii through
week hence, under suspension Of
rules, that course will be adopted
There is little doubt, however, that
the bill, substantially in It's pres.
ent shape, will pass the House, and
that its total will not be materially
disturbed in the Senate.

NEW York, Fec. Sat the
Whitaker Court TN artial, General
Schofield testified that the cadets
appeared intensely indignant after
the outrage was committed. Ii
was as unfair to suspect them as 10
suspect guests of q first.cIass hotel
of completely or sympathy with q
great robbery. He believed the
affair originated outside the limits
OF New York, and he would con-
tinue to investigate the matter as
long as he lived until he reached
the truth. He had his own theory
and Suspicious. He thought the
motive of outside parties was much
stronger than any motive that
Whitaker could possibly have had.
Major Piper, the officer in charge
of West Point, WAS the next wit
ness. He gave long account OF
finding Whitaker.

them, although he may not have
known of the fraud, but as to the
fact that they are frauds, there is
no earthly doubt.
