CHICAGO, July 16th.-The Times Wash
iugton special says A Times correspondent
has learned how j. b. Price was so sum-
marily dropped. and how the jury came to
report to the Court that there was no war
rant for an indictment. There had besn a
coed deal said in the newspapers for several
days about the possible indictment of Senator
Kellogg. and he became very much irritated
at it. He finally decided upon determined
course. He took q carriage. went to the
White House, and had q confidential talk
with the President. He said: ~ want this
thing stopped right now. II you propose to
let that man Bliss go ahead and indict me
on the testimony of that id scoundrel
Walsh, | will resign my seat in the United
States Senate quicker than fash, aud that
will leave your Senate in the hands of the
Democrats" He explained to the President
his connection with Walsh, and said it was
perfectly legitimate. He had borrowed money
of him as a broker, and their relations were
such as any public man would be justified in
holding with broker. Now" said Kel-
logg. d" I did not come up here to threaten. or
anything of that sort. l merely show you
the position l take If this thing goes any
further, REIGN" This gives one of the ex.
plantations for the sudden dropping of the
case Walsh is not sati6sd with his position
of discreditsd witness, and has prepared a
statement for general publication. in which
he reviews his story of the J. B. Price case, as
far as his connection with it is concerned, and
as far as his knowledge of the alleged connec-
ton of Senator Kellogg with the case reaches.
