Jeanette Inquiry.

Washington, 17.-Seaman Noros
was crOss-eXamined to-day before
the Jeanette committee, and said
that during the retreat he had seen
Lieutenant. D3nnenhoWer boarding
food, and had heard him say IL the
worst came to the worst, he intended
to leave the party and escape on his
own account. Upon being asked if
there was anything else he would
like TO testify to, the witness asked
that lsd:es leave the room while he
should repea5 certain abusive and
indecent 20 ds addressed to him on
one occasion by Melville. Request
was granted and the language was
to the committee, but was
entirely too low and filthy for pub
lication. Lieutenant DannenhoWer
then took the stand and testified to
conversations he had in Siberia with
Jackson, correspondent Of the New
York Herald. All he told him then
was true, but he hsd aimee changed
his views with regard to many
things he then talked with Jackson
about.

Row About Fees.

] Washington, 1.-THE Attorney
General to day sent to the Senate q
letter concerning the action Of the
Department of Justice in relation
to fees of special attorneys in Star
Route cases, In which he Gays in
in part: "Hal 1t been originally
supposed that the cases would oca
cupy the time they did, probably
| the rate fixed would not have been
asked or given. When, however,
the trial was tediously pro-
tracted by the policy of the de-
tense, the sum total paid for
the services of Bliss, did appear ex-
cessive, and l accordingly urged
that some abatement be made by
him, as | did also to other counsel.
Kerr's bill wa4 reduced, and Mer-
rick made reduction al my re-
quest, but B ISIS insisted upon full
com pliance with the requirements
of the original contract, in one in
stance claiming it allowed him to
charge for arguments in excess
of 500 per day, which | refused to
grant, and on the 4th of November,
1882, he wrote a letter threatening
withdrawal from his case il his &C.
count was not paid, while the cases
= ere in progress. l thought it in.
judicious to insist upon concessions
which would bring about the with
drawal of Bliss. [ don't think the
sum received by Merriek and Kerr
excessive, or out of proportion
to that paid in cases of even less
magnitude between private parties.
In the first trial of cases against
Dorsey ct al, L personally appeared
in court as often as my other duties
would permit, and followed the case
with care from day to day, and made
the closing argument befcro court
and jury. Two ofthe defendants were
convicted by the first trial, but the
irregularity and incongruity of find
ing subordinates guilty, and failing
to convict the organizers and general
conspiratots, those who made the
whole gain, and those who had set
On foot the whole scheme to rob the
government, was SO manifest, that
the verd ct was set aside OF motion
of the government. On the second
trial there was acquittal. The people
who we're involved in these cases
we're not on their trials before the
juries. They were on their trials
before the people Of the United
States, and they were con-
vic ed by commsn judgment
of the whole country. They are not
punt. b ed by imprisonment but they
had better be in prison than now at
large, the objects Of s,orn and aver
sion. These prosecutions have not
been without their usefulness
either. I have been informed by
the post Office that they have saved
as much in that department alone as
So. 600, 600 per annum.
The same officials have assured
me that before these cases were be-
gun the halls of the Postoffice De.
partment wereiswarming with these
dishonest jobbers, They are seen
there are no more. The wholesome
terror OF these trials has expelled
them. The thoroughness of these
Investigations has made it plain that
there is ne place so high that it
could become a sanctuary for a
or public robbsr."

forfeit lands adjacent TO the uncom-

the bill to the committee on public
