The Springer Committee

WASHINGTON, d. c., May Sat q
meeting of the Springer Committee this
morning several members opposed en-
teiing upon the Kellogg investigation
unless instructed to do so by the
house. Milliken said he un-
derstood that Kellogg would
drop the matter If the committee con-
cluded to not consider it. Walsh was
present and inquired when the commit
lee desired him to appear as witness. An
informal discussion was had relative
TO the testimony thai Walsh
could give during the progress of the
investigation which Walsh SAID was his
testimony before the grand jury, which
implicated Price and Bradley and failed
to indict Kellogg and which showed
that the ex-senator was q hundred-fold
more deserving of Indictment than either
Brady or Price. He SAID he had his pa
pers with him when he appeared before
| the grand jury, but that body seemed to
| be satisfied without examining
them. Bliss was present on that occa-
sion and said to The jury it was a serious
thing 10 indict United States senator.
The committee did not decide, when
| Walsh is to be examined.
The Democratic Delegation to Chicago
TOPEKA, May 9.-The democrats OF
Kansas will send a delegation to the
national convention at Chicago, which
cannot help but attract attention. And
now that Kansas Is no more hopelessly
doubtful state, the delegation this
| time will have more influence and power
thar ever before. Governor George
W. Click will undoubtedly head the
delegation, and be backed up by such
prominent lights as Charles w. Blair
Thomas P. Fenlon, A. A Harris and
others of that class. Mr.
Morris, says, however, that he has
no desire to be delegate. but
the probabilities are that he will be Sc
lected as one anyway. & party OF
friends waited upon The colonel one
day last week at his Office in the state
house, and urged him to let his name be
used. At first he held of, but rathel
than be the cause OF any clashing Oh
inharmonious feeling, he will accept the
honor. and be one OF the eighteen who
go TO Chicago.

THE TRIBUNE BREAKS THE
RECORD

NGSOND.
The prospectus of The Tribune, in
another column, will crafty every
one who has watched The strong
fight made by that paper during the
last campaign. Great as was The
Tribune under Horace Greedy, it has
reached an unprecedented stature
since. During election week The
Tribune actually sold I,aoa,IIo
copies of its various editions. and
then settled down to a "steady gait"
with an average daily circulation of
I2I, 900, and weekly list of 143, 900.
This "breaking the record" beyond a
doubt. 1t is we'll that the one great
Republican paper in the metropolis,
that is faithful to the principles for
which we have fought for twenty-five
we ars, and for which the battle must
be renewed with determined vigor,
should enter upon the new contest
with such an enormous audience and
consequent influence. 1t is politi-
cal duty TO give The Tribune now
the widest possible circulation. 1t is
tired and true, clean, wholesome
paper, complete as newspaper and
full of valuable special matter.

sArolME's BOX OF BRANDY.

tiers and His Accounts.


tiers and His Accounts.
Ben: P0rley Poore.l
One Of Secretary Robeson's favorite pay
masters, when he was at the head OF the navy
department, was Dominic b, Batoine, who
was stationed at New York. The New Years
before the. expiration Of the secretary's term
Of Office, Batoins made up his quarterly nc
coun.s, and finding that they were volumi-
nous, no concluded not 10 risk their
transmission by installments, but packed
the entire budget OF papers in a box. 1t SO
happened that the word brandy marked
on the box, which once contained tho orig
inal fluid package, was not etfaced; and.
thus marked, the box arrived by express in
Washington, directed to the secretary of the
navy. When the attention Of Secretary Ro-
beson was directed to It, he seemed 10 have
concluded that some friend had shipped him
n case of sold Otard."
Muse said tho secretary, addressing his
dignihed colored messenger, take that box
OF brandy up to my house and put it in the
wine cellar"
Muse did as no was directed, aud the box
was consigned 10 the vaults. When Secre-
tary Thompson came in as chief OF the navy
department, be found that Batoine's &c
counts were one-Quarter behind. The de
partment INDUCED him for a while, under
the belief that he was pressed and had not
time to mako them VI. AftOr waiting many
days, II was deemed best TO advise him OF
his delinquency, and he was accordingly
notified. In due course OF mail Batoine re-
pied: 81 sent my quarterly accounts to the
department two months ago" Then began
a wild search for the missing papers. Clerks
hunted through tho department high and
low, but did not find them. Again
the department telegrnphed Batoine
that his accounts could not be found,
aud meanwhile entered a faint sus.
piclon that he had been engaged in some
crooked" transactions, and was purposely
withholding them. A few days later Batoine
came TO Washington in high dudgeon. The
search for the missing papers was resumed,
but tho hunt was f~ruitlesa. A day or two
later ons OF the officers said;
"Batoine. In what shape did you send the
papersf'
BAtolne replied; 4 Forwarded them In G
brandy box"
This vas a clew. Secretary Pobeson wal
asked il 1t might not have been possible that
he sent the box TO his own home through mis-
take. He thought not, but invited a search
through his cellar. The search was made,
and In a very little while the Identical box OF
papers was found

NAHhk - a
Tho great event Of the past fortnight has
beea the completion Of the Andine railway
to Mendozc. capital Of tho province OF that
namc, aud lying at tho foot of tho Andes.
The Importance Of this great event can not
be exaggerated. Tho line, We may say,
crosses the continent, stretching from the
Pannna 10 the Cordillera. A zone Of i'm
morse NATURAL wealth Is thus thrown open by
thi. quick means OF communication, and the
traiic on the line promises to
be very large. Mendoza Is one of
tho riches provinces OF the re-
public; it covers an aren Of about 5000
square leagues OF land at the foot OF the
Andes, with a population estimated at $780,
003 souls. The rivers Mendoza, Tunuyan,
D~esaguadcro, Diamants and Atuel iTTigate
over 100000 square leagues OF land, and the
soil is 50 hountful that the yield Is often 100
fold. a very active trade is carried on In the
export OF fat cattle to Chilli, but the great in
dustry Of tie prpsent and future is viticul-
ture. Ths E.Ddoni wines are well known
the production Il .ionbiing every two years.
