RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE.
The committee, after recung several Instances Of tho
payment Of excessive prices for certain articles pur
chased out of the Contingent Fund and noting rrcgu
larities with respect to vouchers, say
In view Of the gross abuses and frauds perpetrated
through false fictitious vouchers, shown by the
evidence taken, additional legislation may b" necessary
appropriation bills provisions making 1t penal offence
for any employe to certify to any voucher
or thing other than thar actually purchased
aud received and intended to be paid for by such
voucher, and also making penal offence for any per-
son selling and delivering any article to the Government
is face o e ohr Sno3 or tef aus sSd md
delivered Existing laws do not seem TO cover such
cases clearly Your committee believe that annual OF
sohEhuhuil examinations, OF the. accounts IOr anu
the methods Of the expenditures Of the appropriations
purchases and Of dispOsing OF condemned arti
ees, and OF accounting for the proceeds thereof should
be made, and tina the Leads of departments have the a
thOrty to prescribe tine regulations necessary
to cause such examinations to be made as
often deemed necessary b trusted and reliable
employees in their respective departments. Should
1t be deemed best to baye such examination made by
Independent experts and accountants additional egls-
atiUu Will be necessary.
Your committee call special attention to sections 1913
and 1873 81 the Revised statutes requiring annual re-
ports OF the expenditures of The Contingent Fund.- etc.
to be by the head OF each department
to Congress at the commencement OF each
regular session. This requirement has not
been observed and these reports not been sub
mitted Congress at the commencement Of each regu-
lar These reports should be submitted promptly
required, aud their preparation should not be in
trusted who y 10 subOrdinates has been done In the
Treasury Department..
The report is signed by Senators Allison, Log IN.

A FIGHT ABOUT A CHILD.
Two Emigrants Arrested at ArcO on
Charge Of Abduction.

BLAcKFooT, l. T., Sept. %, 1882.
Passengers on the down coach
which arrived here to-day were treated
to little sensation at Arco, yester-
day-Sunday.
Two emigrants-man and wife
named Sorenson, were arrested for
abduction at the instance Of one Hat
tie Jones, of North Platte, Nebraska.
The Sorensons appear to have left
North Platte for Puget Sound with a
little boy called Frank, four years old
bright and intelligent-who, they
claim, was adopted by the said Hattie
Jones, but subsequently given to the
Sorensons to take charge of and bring
up as their own; while, on the other
hand. Hattie Jones claims they stole
the child.
The Sorensons were served with a
warrant near Arco, but after the con
stable and one Billy Collins (who
acted as agent for Hattie Jones) got
possession of the boy, they told the
Sorensons that they could go on their
way, and they collins and the con
stable) would take the child back. To
this arrangement the Sorcnsons OBJ
jected and concluded to 90 to Black
foot also and retain legal advice in the
matter.
! Mrs. Sorenson is masculine-looll-
ing woman, and according to her own
talk is on the muscle and not afraid
to fight with her fists, in a single con
test, with any man or woman, no,
scruple to use a siN-shootcr when odds
were against her. Her husband, who
was adorned with a helmet, ..bilea'
