GRANT Dc WARD.
BINGHAM Makes an AFFIDAVIT Against the
Firm.
[By telcgrapl. 70 the pIspatch.l


TBy telegraph. to the Dlspatch.J
NEW YORK, May 22.-Tbe affidavit Of
William II. Bingham against Ferdinand
Ward sets forth that he IL acquainted with
the advances OF money made by Tappan TO
Ward, and that he (Bingham) also made
investments of like character. but he does
not name the amount. He says further
that two months before the failure
he met Ward in the Marine Bank and told
Ward that he would like to get some esti-
mate Of the risk Of the business, and that
II he could be more fully informed Of the
nature and risks OF Grant e. Wards BUSH
ness he could secure large amount Of
money. Ward said that IL he was willing
to divulge the nature Of the business
he could command millions to Bing-
hams thousands. The relations with
the Government were so delicate that it
was not expedient to give further details.
After the failure OF Grant & Ward, Blng-
ham saw Ward and asked to see the Gov
eminent contracts, or claims OF contractors
against the Government. Ward refused to
accede to this demand or give any eXplana-
ton. Since this time he (Bingham) had,
with the aid Of a Government contractor,
investigated the claims OF Ward about the
cOntrlcts, anu iOuUu tnat nOHc tAlstcu,
land that Wards statements were false.
On the day he made these discov-
cries he met James ID. Fish, and in a
conversation with him ne said that
he had never seen any such contracts or
assignments from contractors to Grant 81
Ward, and that he Fish believed Ward to
be scoundrel, and these alleged Govern
ment contracts were myth. Since the
failure he (Bingham) has been at the office
OF the firm OF Grant & Ward daily, and
had made inquiries OF members OF the firm
and clerks. but could get no information
in relation to the business except that it
was fictitious and fraudulent.
Ferdinand Ward, after unsuccessiully
spending the day in endeavoring to obtain
$500, 600 bail to enable him to regain his
liberty, was taken to Ludlow-Street Jail ut
0 O'Clock by Deputy Sheriff McGonigle,
and lodged in a cell there. He refused to
see any person.
General Grant stated tonight to re-
porter that the rumor that bis son L. s.
Grant, Jr., had fled to Canada to escape
arrest was wholly without foundation.
Grant had gone this evening to Morris
town. n. j., where he lives, and would be
found in his Office tomorrow.

THE ENoLTsu-PEEIIE CASE.
The contest over the English-PeeIle case
was very spirited. and awakened unusual
interest on account Of the closeness OF the
vote. English was immediately sworn in.
and Peelle withdrew. The presence OF
the elder English on she floor in the
interest OF his son has been very often
siye TO the Republicans, and has re-
suited in the adoption OF resolution for
an investigation by a special committee
as TO whether cx-members OF Congress
acting as attorneys in election cases and
for railroads or other corporations have
abused the privileges OF the floor during
the present session OF Congress. II this
inquiry shall DC pursued in good faith. IL

Committee Reports.


WASHINGTON. MAY 22.-The Committee
on Ways and Means to-day decided to re-
port Representative Beach's bill to refund
the duties upon goods on Shipboard when
the tariff act OF March 3. 1888, went into
effect.
The committee also began the considera-
ton OF Representative Hewitt's tariff bill,
which was recently introduced. continuing
its consideration TO that portion which eX-
plains the present tariff law. 1t was de-
termined to communicate with The Secre-
tary OF the Treasury relative to The admin
istration OF the law as proposed by the
bill. Members Of the committee express
the opinion that no consideration will be
given to that portion Of Mr.. Hewitt's bill
which relates to the reduction Of the tariff.
They say favorable report will probably
be made OH that'portion the discussion Of
which was begun to-day.
The House Committee on Civil Service
Refor to-day unanimously directed a IA
yorable report on The bill introduced by
Mr.. Long, OF Massachusetts,. to repeal the
tenure-oi-oflice acts. TO this Is attached
as an amendment the Willis bill repeating
sections 100, 1864, 22l7, 224i. 26l3, 1890
OF the Revised Statutes, which fix the
term OF office Of certain officers at four years.
This is identical with the Willis bill, which
failed OF passage some time ago under
suspension ofrules, except that the section
which provides that the Chief Justice and
Associate Justices Of the Supreme Court
OF each Territory shall be appointed to
hold Office during good behavior Is omitted.
Senator Logan reported to-day from the
Committee on Appropriations the pension
appropria ton bill, as amended by that
C ommittee. As reported the bill provides
for the reappropriation of the uneXpended
balance Of the appropriations for invalid
pensions for the current year ESTIMATED at
500, 000, 000), and for the appropriation OF
an additional S20,000,000 for the payment
of pensions, $1,000, 900 for fees OF eXamln-
ing surgeons. 1896, 200 for pay and allow
ances OF pension agents, and $4,000 for
contingent expenses OF pension agencies.
The committee has stricken from the bill
all legislation attached to it by the House.
