clares that he has documents and papers
TO prove that no less than two millions in
money, stock and lands were furnished
for q pool in '6S and 20 to secure the
passage Of g bill making the land grant to
the Texas Pacific Railroad. His com
munication is voluminous, and makes
specific allegations, Withholding only the
names Of the persons involved. He says
that $50, 900 in money and 5000, 900 in
stock were placed in the hands of two
Senators to disburse where it would do the
most good in that body, and it was prop
erly placed so that eventually the gain
was made in consequence. He alleges that
one million in stock was used to pass
the bill in the House by votes OF mem
bers who took it as the price for their
favor to the corporation. He asks the
committee to name q day when he can be
heard, and he will demonstrate that an
investigation should be made. He pledges
himself to furnish the names of the men
who disbursed and accepted the brides,
and to prove the transactions by docu-
mentary evidence. Some of the commit
tee are for sitting the inquiry, but it is
understood that the majority favor learn
ing what Newell has to offer. The ques-
ton is pertinent, owing to the fact that
the Texas Pacific never did any work to
earn the land, but has since been CONSOLE
dated with Gould, Huntington and the
Southwestern system, and a bill is pend
ing to confirm the grant to the CONSOLE
dated roads, on the ground that, although
the Texas Pacific was not built, the South
own Doo;En wa 1t,---,Atal -~l L-l
earned the lands. The majority of the
committee favor the non-forfeiture of the
lands, and, naturally, certain of these
gentlemen regard the exposure promised
by Newell as a diversion against their
position. Newell will no doubt be heard
in a few days.
