Senator Dawes was asked about this charge.
He denied it Indignantly and said. he thought
his career in public life was such as to need
no disproof from him He was glad an ia,
vestigation was to be had. He coarted the
fullest inquiry.
Secretary Teller was also interviewed. He
said he was investigating the charges, and as
soon as he found which one of the two men
Boudinot or PHillips-was responsible for the
charge he would take summary action TO test

named OF Mrs. Hamilton, and, closely yelled,
she proceeded direct to the st Charles hotel,
where she took rooms and awaited her
brothers arrival While in PieEsburg she
saw no one. took her meals IA her room,
and went closely yelled, She makes this
statement to refute the report of the alleged
interview telegraphed from Pittsburg. The
assertions made in the interview purporting
to come from her in reference to the treat
pent she received while in prison at Joliet, as
ID charges of immortality against the Joliet
officials, are absolutely false. While there
she was most kindly treated by the matron of
the prison, and never saw one OF the male
wardens. The food and treatment of the fe-
male prisoners was exceptionally good Shs
was employed making socks, and could knit
by means of machinery seventy-two pairs
day.
She does not know yet exactly what her
future movements viii be. She has not had
any sleep or rest for three days, and the
sudden transition from her accustomed life in
Chicago to that of her humble home here
seems very strange. She has determined to
lead a correct and becoming life here, and
hopes that her past actions will not cause
people to place obstacles in her path. She
is DESTROYS of doing something for herself,
end intmates that in SO doing she will
receive material assistance from ladies
in Chicago She spoke in a most regretful
manner OF the killing of Charles Stiles whom
she says confessed to have loved her dearly,
but says that his actions were so terribly
cruel that he drove her really crazy, and she
knows she was not responsible for her actions
when she shot him, She puts all the blame
of Stiles transgressions on his Chicago male
companions, saying it was the celebrated Owl
club of that city which ruined him, as it has
done many others
She was particularly pleased with her sue
cess in getting the best of the Chicago re-
porters, ANA said that when she went'to the
homes of the ladies who hal befriendei her
in that city she was 50 Disguised that even
the men who knew her best Failed to recognize
her. W hen she left the prison to 20 to
Chicago the train was crowded with reporters
anxious for an interview. They could not
get into the private car, but hoped to catch
her as she left the train. She eluded them
by quietly getting off the cars fourteen miles
from Chicago. The newspaper men were
completely outwitted. This she related with
much glee.
Her home was the scene of a regular ova-
ton, her old friends and companions coming
from near and far to welcome her back.
''Eeyer,n said she twas so glad to get home
before" She laughed heartily over the al
legged Moliit letters, and said it was an i'm
possibility for the letters to have passed be
tween any one outside the prison and
prisoner, owing to the rules of the institution
being SO strict She also denies the insinua

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.
What the GOssips say as to TheiEn
Probable C0asts tuition.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. SIT is 1TImored
at the capitol that it has been decided to APP
point Col. Joe Blackburn chairman of the
committee on appropriations but the story
could not be confirmed. 1t IS evident, how
ever, from remarks of gentlemen,
who are very close to the
speaker, that he has his committee
list well blocked out. One of these gentle
men is authority for the statement that if the
speaker completes the list before thu holiday
recess he will be quite satisfied 1t Is still
generally conceded by theknowing ones that
Morrison will be made chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means; Hurd, of Ohio,
or Tucker, of Virginia, committee on iudic
larry; Hewitt, of New York. or Morse,
of Massachusetts, committee on naval
affairs. Gen. Rosecraus is the probable selec-
ton for the craftsmanship of the military
affairs committee, and either Mr.. Cox or Mr.
Belmont, of New York, on foreign affairs;
Mr.. Cobb, of Indiana, is variously spoken o:
as the probable chairman of the elections,
Pacific railways and public lands, while Mr.
Buckuer, of st. Louis, is the only one men
toned for the craftsmanship of the banking
and currency committee.

ENTERPRlSiNG CHICAGO
Thinks Sire Has Dead sure Thing
on the National Convention.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-The Republican national
committee will meet at Washington next
Tuesday to decide upon the. time and place
of holding the next national convention to
nominate presidential candidates for 1884
A strong and, as it now appears, probably
successful effort is being made to have the
convention come to Chicago,
Against holding the convention mere two
objections are urged; one, that it was in Chi
cago in 1880, and the other, that holding it in
Illinois would be in the nature of boom for
John A. Logan as presidential candidate.
The first is considered important,
the second trifing The committee

five who have declared themselves in favor
of this city. These committeeman are all
