WASHINGTON, February 2S.-The sena-

from Il thousand to fifteen hundred Chr

WANTS AN INVESTIGATION.
1t is reported that Mr.. Blaine has request
ed his friends to move an investigation into
matters covered by the resolution reported
from the senate forelg .sslons committee
| to-day. The investigation is to be sweep
ing in character, including the alleged loss
of papers from the files of the state depart
ment and the alleged connection of all par
ties who held official relations with
| the United States with the Pc
ruvian claims or contracts. 1t is said Mr..
Blaine regards such a sweeping investiga-
ton as the surest means of disproving
| the insinuations as to his connection with
the claims, and of showing that if any per-
sons in official life have an interest in such
claims they are not close friends Of Mr..
Blaine.
Combines CHANCES.
There is some opposition to Conkling' s
confirmation, but not in any organized
state and indications are it will amount to
only few negative votes, as the democrats
don't seem disposed to opRase him.
REPORTED FAvoRAlN.

The Prosecution RestS-A PfaIn Cas-,
Made Against the PrISonera.

CArTLErTsBuRG, KY, January 10.-Jacob
Burke was the first witness called this
morning. He saw Neal shortly after the
murder, who first told him the murder was
committed with an axe and Crowbar. Mrs.
Slmmonds and Carroll were examined; /;
Saw three men the morning after the mur-
der recognized them rs Neal, Graft and
Ellis; they were standing very close together
a short distance from the cemetery, which
is about half q mile from the Gibbons
house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Compton were examined !:
Neal called at their house a few nights after
the murder; was scared and would look at
the door at frequent intervals; Neal was
offered an overcoat when he spoke OF going
home, but refused il, stating It would be a
bad thing to run with.
Every witness yet examined clinches the
truth OF Ellis confession.
The prosecution will finish the examina.
ton Of witnesses to-day.
One witness testified that Robbie Glib.
bond had short hair, such as was found on
the pole Of the axe.
The prosecution recalled Powell, owner
oi the Gibbons house, to prove that the
murder was committed in this county,
something they failed to do until this even.

about an hour waiting on the absent wit
nesses. IN the meantime the defence was
granted the privilege Of consultation pre-
paratory to the examination. On
the arrival OF the two witnesses for the
prosecution, the work OF finishing up pro-
ceeded. Thos Baird, on the stand, stated
that he needed Neal, the prisoner, who was
working at the Norton Iron Works, but
every few minutes Neal would disappear
and sit down in the dark and remain
there till he would send for him again
the night Of his arrest. Witness had
worked with Neal some time, but never
observed such conduct before.
Sterling Gibbons, brother OF the murder
cd children, an extremely bright boy OF
eleven years old, was called, and recognized
the blood.stained axe as the one he found
last summer, and it was in the same posi-
ton the night he left home as when picked
up where Ellis stated in his confession. He
reGoGnized the crowbar also as theirs.

WASHINGTON, January l9.-There seems
to be u general conviction among Senators
and Representatives that the unexpended
balance Of the Geneva award will finally
be distributed by an act Of the present
Congress. On March Sd, 1877, by order Of
ex-secretary Sherman, $9,55S, 800 being the
remainder Of tine award, including accrued
interest invested in per cent bonds, was
redeemed and the proceeds converted into
the treasury under the head Of lniscellane.
Gus receipts. The unexPended balance OF
the award at that date amounted to s., ,l50,-
900, and accrued interest S2,403s00. This
action on Mr.. sherman's part places no
real obstacle in the way OF the distribution
Of the money. When the Court Of Alabama
Claims is reviewed and the balance OF the
ward is distributed, Congress will simply
be required to appropriate the money be-
fore it can be paid out That these appro.
priations will be made promptly there can
be no doubt. II, owever, the award had
been kept invested in government bonds,
the accumulations Of the interest would
have constantly increased and the total
sums to be distributed been much larger.
Senator Frye introduced the two
bills for the distribution Of the award
which the Senate Judiciary Committee is
now considering. Mr.. Frye said to-day:
'I understand that majority Of the com.
mittee are in favor Of paying the claims Of
the exculpated cruisers, and that the COM
mittee is tie on the subject OF paying the
war premium men. II, however, the Court
Of Alabama claims is revived to pay the
exculpated cruisers, the war premium men
will have no difficulty with their claims, as
they are too just to be refused"
