ton special says: On the goth of this
month, the time accorded to Doyle, the
counterfeiter, in Chicago, under suspen-
sion of sentence, will expire. Secretary
Folger to-day consented to give the Times
correspondent an outline of the case so
far as he understood it, and the result Of
his personal investigations as far as he
has gone into the examination. Mr.. Fol-
ger says that in the first place Sam. Felker
of Chicago came to him with what pur-
ported to be the plate from which the
spurious issue Of bonds found upon Doyle
was printed. Felker submitted this plate
to Folger without making any charge
against any of the officials connected with
the Treasury. He said to the Secretary:
Here is a plate which l claim is made up
in a large part from dies in possession Of
the Government. | want you to examine
the plate carefully, and if you are satisfied
that it is what I represent it to be, l shall
ask for the release Of Doyle" Folger at
first thought very seriously of placing
Felker under arrest, for having in his pos
session SO important a counterfeit plate.
Then it occurred to him that this would
destroy all possibility Of getting at the
men who, so to speak, stood back of that
plate, SO he made a proposition to Felker.
The proposition, however, was not
made until the Secretary had fully
investigated the plate submitted. He
sent for the best experts in
New York, but their evidence was of
an unsatisfactory character. Some of the
experts thought the work was transfer
work from the plate dies, while others
were equally positive that it was not. The
Secretary, however, was free to say that the
weight of the experts testimony was in
favor of the theory that the work was
taken from genuine plates. This being the
case, he said to Felker that he would set a
price upon Doyle's release. The PROPOSE
ton in brief was, that if Felker would
furnish evidence that would connect any
one inside the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing with the counterfeiters, and fur
nish evidence that would convict, Doyle
would be allowed to go free. The PROPOSE
ton was reduced to writing. One of
Doyle's bondsmen, the President of a bank
in Illinois, came on to Washington for the
purpose Of having an interview with the
Secretary. Folger showed him the agree.
ment, and gave him to understand that if

the testimony indicated, that would be
the end Of the case so far as the evidence
was concerned. This proposition was sub
mitted q few days ago after the suspension
OF sentence in Doyle's case, and up to that
time Folger says that not one line of evil
dence has been submitted to him Of any
kind, impesching the good faith or homes
by Of q single employe OF the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing. Several attempts,
however. have been made to produce evil
denee OF this character. Two weeks ago
last Saturday B~rockway, alias Spencer, WAS
brought to him for the purpose of having
an interview. Brockway made a complete
confession, and gave the Secretary full and
absolute information Of a combination in
the Bureau Of Engraving and Printing,
and how the transfers from the Govern
ment plates were made, and the names of |
the guilty parties. Undoubtedly Brock
way gave Doyle's friends to understand |
that he could furnish important testimony
upon the subject, as he was brought here
with that view. Folger says Brockway
came into his presence on Saturday after
noon, and the interview took place in his
large Office on the third floor Of the Treas
ury.
Congressional Matters.
WASHINGTON, June THE general i'm
preston is now that Congress will adjourn
about the 10th Of July. The House mani
tests a disposition to go to work, and as
the Senate keeps up its work, it will prob
ably be got through with in about a month.
There is little prospect Of any large en-
terprises, such as the Improvement of the

thing save the appropriation bills.
The friends of the River and Harbor bill
now propose to let it come in as a privi-
legged report the first time they catch the
House in a good humor, if that is possible.
They saw that everybody was sour yester-
day, and that it was unsafe to take it up.
The Deficiency bill brought up in the
House yesterday revived some scandal.
The Yorktown Centennial bill showed a
deficiency for the expense Of entertaining
the French and German guests while here
OF $4,000, or nearly double that which
was authorized. 1t came out a little at a
time in i~nstallments from Holman and
Sparks, and the admissions from Hiscock
that the money was largely expended for
wines and in a high old time generally.
Eighteen hundred Of it was for hotel bills
in New York and Washington, and several
thousand for the steamboat in which the
committee took parties to Yorktown. His
cock tried to keep the matter as quiet ss
possible, saying it would be an insult to
our guests to bubble over the bills for
their entertainment but he did not sue.
