W sNington, July 1s.-There is an
incl mt sensation brewing rs usual in
congress. A letter has been written by
one J. J. Newell, formerly of Adrian,
Michigan, in which he declares that he
has documents and papers to prove that
no less than two million dollars in
money, stock and bonds was furnished
for a pool In '6S to 10 to secure the pas
sage of a bill making a land grant to
the Texas Pacific railroad. His com
%munication is very voluminOus and
makes specific allegations, Withholding
only the names Of the persons involved.
He says S9O,O 900 in money and $780,
900 in stock were placed in the hands
of two senators TO disburse where it
would do the most good in that body,
and 1t was properly placed SO that
eventually the grant was made, IN con-
sequence. He alleges, also that $780,
600 in stock wa used to pass the bill
in the house by the votes of members
who took it as the price for a favor to
the corporation. He asks the commit
tee to name the day when he can be
heard and he will demonstrate that an
Investigation should BIO made. lie
| pledges himself to furnish the names
of the men who disbursed and accepted
the brides, and prove the transaction
by documentary evidence. Some of
the committee are for q standing in
quiry, but it is understood that the
majority favor hearing what Newell has
to offer.
The question is pertinent, owing 70
the fact that the Texas Pacific new
did any work to earn the lands, but
has been consolidated with the Gould
Huntington southwestern system, and
the bill is pending to confirm the grant
10 the consolidated roads on the ground
that although the TEXAS Pacific was
not built the Southern Pacific h as been
constructed and has earned the lands.
A 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 rosition.
Newell wilk no doubt, be heard in q

wAsHINGroN NOTES

Washington, July l9.-Gen. Barrios,
president of the republic of Guatemala,
and party, arrived this morning.
An amendment by Beck to the inter
nal revenue bill reducing the tax on to-
bacco from l6 to II cents per pound was
adopted by the senate in committee of
the whole this afternoon by q vote of
30 to 20.
The chief of police this evening re-
celved another dispatch from the
Swedish minister at Washington stat
ing that after sending his former mes
sage he received a cable from Sweden
asking that Hildurg and Robertson, the
self confessed murderers be held. They
are still in jail.
From all appearances the end of the
star route cases is near at hand. AL
ready greatly weakened by repeated
adverse decisions from the court, the
case of the prosecution has been disas-
trously prejudiced by the action of the
special grand jury in refusing to bring
in fresh presentments.
1t is rumored at the capital this
afternoon hat the house committee on
foreign affairs had practically decided
to adopt MIR. Kasson's report on the
| Nicaraugan canal question. The report
