WASHINGTON, May 23.-The bill pro-
viding for the retirement of Colonel Hen
ry j. Hunt as a Major General gave rise
to a good deal of discussion. In opposing
the measure Mr.. Springer took occa-
sion to speak in strong condemnation

give him a pension of $40, lbs a year sim
ply because he had been unfortunate in
Wall street, 1t was said hat General
Grant had not been aware of the dealings
of his partners, but the fact remained
that he had associated himself with spec
lators who were involved in the most dis
reputable practices which have ever been
heard of in this country and was only par
alleled in any other by the South Sea
bubble and John Laws Mississippi
scheme. This was not the time nor were
the circumstances such as called upon CON
gress to go to General Grants relief
The bill was laid aside with a favorable
recommendation.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-In the SEN
ate to-day, the house bill to provide for
the muster and pay of certain officers and
enlisted men of the volunteer forces was
passed.
The Senate then resumed the consider
alton ofthe bill to provide for protecting
the interests of the United States in re-
spect to any membranes on property
wherein they have an interest. Senator
Beck said that under the letter of the act
the President could pay off the mortgage
of the Union Pacific railroad. He was
not prepared to vest so vast Il power in
the executive officer. The authority to
pay u fifty or sixty million dollars was a
large authority and if we should pay the
railroad mortgages and acquire the rail
roads, were we to go into the business of
running the roads?
Senator Sherman supported the bill
and said instances frequently occurred in
which the government lost large sums of
money because of lack of authority in the
executive officers to pay off the price of
liens.
Senator Slater said hat in 1895, when
the Union and Central Pacific rail-
road mortgages mature, the amount of all
obligations and the interest would be
$lSS, 900, 900 and the roads would not be
worth that much money as they could be
built for less. After further debate the
question went over.
The Utah bill was then taken up and
the Senate went into executive session and
soon adjourned until Monday.

Kellogg Wants an Investigation

Kellogg Wants an Investigation.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-in the House
Mr.. Kellogg took the floor for a personal
explanation saying that the investigation
of the Star Route cases by the committee
on expenditures of the department of
justice, evidence had been taken reflect
ing on his character; that he had requested
the committee to 60 thoroughly into the
matter, but the committee declined on the
ground that it had no authority. He
asserted that the proceedings in the court
against him were prompted by malice,
under the statute a quarter of a century
old and which, though it has been violated
a thousand times, had never been invoked.
This was not mentioned as palliation,
however, He would prove his innocence.
He offered a resolution r|eciting that in
the investigation as to the prosecution of
the Star Route cases before the committee
on expenditures of the department of
justice, evidence had been given which
reflects upon his character and directing
that the committee investigate the subject
of his alleged connection with the Star
Route services. and whether he received
money for services rendered in the matter
pending before one Of the departments
Of the government, or whether he paid
money to any officer on account of or in
connection with said service. In speaking
Of the resolution Kellogg referred to his
recent trial and denied hat he had
pleaded statute limitations and that the
presiding judge had made that point on
his motion. Blanchard said that since
the dismissal of the Kellogg case on
technical ground he had been waiting for
his colleague to yindicatc the honor of the
House and Of the state of Louisiana.
Yesterday he informed Kellogg unless he
asked for investigation he blanchard
would do so himself. Kellogg's resolu.
ton was finally referred to the committee
on judiciary to decide whether the House
has authority to inquire into the acts Of 8
member.
