Prosecution of the star Route
Frauds.
New YORK, June ia Times Washing
ton special says the officers charged with
the prosecution of the Star Route frauds
expect to be able to begin operations when
the Grand Jury meets, which will be the
latter part Of the present month. The Sc
lection of Hubert Schutler and Andrew
Langdon a. members of the Grand Jury
has given rise to considerable comment, in
consequence of the former connection of
those two gentlemen with the Postoffice

and performed the work for the Depart
ment. His work it appears was not salts
factory, and an investigation was ordered
by the Postmaster General, the result Of
which has not been fully made public.
Langdon is the President of the Co-opera-
tive Mail & Transportation Company, Of
which Albert T.. Boine is Manager, and
whose peculiar methods in manipulating
postal contracts have been fully exposed in
the Times. The Grand Jury consists Of
"a members, and the vote Of a majority Of
that number is required to make present
ments. The Times editorially hints at an
effort being made by Brady and his asso-
ciates in the Star Route rascalities to in
duce the Administration to let up on them.
They will use their influence to the Utmost.
There is not the slightest reason for fear
ing that anything these rascals can do will
deter either James or Macveagh from the
course upon which they have entered. 1t
is to be hoped there is no ground for fear
ing they may be able to allure or drive any
of the official superiors Of these men from
giving them all the support they need.
are disgusting. Public sentiment ought
to be more aroused on this subject, and to
demand with unmistakable voice the
strengthening Of the hands Of those en-
gagged in this prosecution, and the battling
OF the devices Of the desperate c%onspira-
tors who are o at bay.
The Bribery Investigation.
ALBANY, June 16.-In the bribery inves-
tigation last evening l.. Coe, Assemblyman
from Boone county, testified that a lobby
list had conferred with him in behalf Of
Depew, and argued that witness, being a
railroad man, ought to vote for him; that
1t would be to his interest. his personal in
t~erest; that he would be as we'll treated as
any man in it. Witness inferred that he
meant a denomination. Witness said he
might some time vote for Depew. Charles
X. Graham, Surveyor of the Port Of New
York, had asked witness several times to
vote for Depew. Witness asked Mr.. Payne
to appoint General Chrysler to his place,
and Graham said he would be glad to do
SO. Adjourned.
VIM. A. Graves, Of the firm OF Spencer,
Trask Il Co., testified that Sessions ac-
count was closed June 7, by the payment
of $6,6l6 in currency. His account was
profitable; he last bought St. Paul pre-
ferred. Witness paid Sessions three 81 1000
bills and $1,000 in 500 bills. Witness
talked with Sessions about the case last
night. but was ready yesterday afternoon
to give testimony before seeing Sessions.
Sessions statements had not Influenced
witness. 1t is unusual for men to draw
their balance in currency when it amounts
to $4,000. Sessions here showed the bills,
which witness identified as the same he
paid Sessions June 7. Witness had counted
the bills last night and identified many Of
them. The total was only a few dollars
short. Met Sessions casually at Smiths
house, whittier he had gone to see whether
would be obliged to bring up the books
the firm.
