WASHINGTON, July 31.-A Portland Me-
newspaper says that one of Hubbell's as
sessment circulars was received at that
city not long ago, assessing a Government
official SIS, and was conveyed from Wash
ington in a Government envelope, without
payment Of postage. The editor says he
saw the envelope with the circular therein
a few days after il was received. Among
the signers of this circular are members
of the House Of Representatives and SEN
ate. Inquiry into the truth Of this charge
will be a privileged question, which any
member Of the House or Senate may move
to have investigated. It is therefore stated
that a resolution will be introduced in the
House on the first opportunity TO instruct
the Committee on Reform in the Civil Ser
vice to investigate the facts alleged and in
quire whether official envelopes or stamps
for official business only had been used by
any member OF Congress for other than
official business, with power to send for
persons and papers.
Goa. Bob Ingersoll.
WASHINGTON, July Silt is stated that
Col. Bob Ingersoll has lost his entire for
tune in & mining speculation in the we'll
known silver mine, Ivanhoe, located in
Socorro County, New Mexico. He was the
chief organizer OF a stock company of
S2'500,000 capital, in S25 shares. The
shares in and about Washington sold for
>20, a great many Department clerks,
women and others investing. The stock
beng non-assessable the entire working
capital was soon exhausted in working the
claim, which has completely piuched out.
The shares are to-day being offered for
eighteen cents, and there are few buyers.
Col. lngersoll is reported by his init
mate friends as having been greatly
stunned by the recent damaging testimony
against his clients in the Star Route trials.
His friends give him the credit OF a sincere
belief in the innocence Of his clients, and
think they discover a change in the Colonel
since Walsh's testimony. Ingersoll states
to his friends that after the completion of
the Star Route trials be will give up the
practice Of law, for some time at least, and
return again to the lecture field.
King Leopoid's Troubles TO be yeu-
tilated.
Boston, July 31.-The troubles Of King
Leopold Of Belgium, who was robbed a
year ago Of So, O0O, 900, will soon be ven
tilated in a Massachusetts, Court. Barnard,
the robber, after being hunted for by de-
t~ectives all over the world, was, it will be
remembered, arrested last month in Cuba,
and now awaits extradition. In his
wanderlngs it is alleged that he deposited
a large quantity Of his stealings. some
$500, eco, with the Union Safe Deposit
Company Of this city for safe keeping, and
his Majesty now sues on a bill Of dis
covery to require the Safe Deposit Com
pany, in case an injunction has been
obtained against the defendant, restrain
ing them from allowing Barnard, or my
one in his behalf, admittance to its vaults,
or removing, or in any way tampering
with its contents. Aside from the prom
inence and legal status of the plaintiff, his
case will do much towards defining the
legal relation between proprietors Of safety
vaults and their tenants, and the rights of
creditors and others who seek to reach
the property deposited in them by legal
process. Defendants have not as yet filed
an answer.
