lBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUsE.l
WASHINGTON, May 23.-'rhe Democrats in the
House scored another serious bundeI to-day by
virtually refusing to investigate the charges
against Representative Kellogg. Several weeks
ago the Springer Committee took the testimony OF
Colonel George Bliss aud several other witnesses
in relation to the charges on whicb
Kellogg was indicted and tried Tor
violating statute which prohibits
Senator or Representative from receiving compen-
sation for services rendered in any case TO which
the United States Is party. This testimony was
unfavOrabe to Mr. Kellogg and he applied to the
committee for an opportunity 10 rebut II. ma
jorty of the committee suddenly discovered that
it had no authority go further into the inyes'l-
CATION, and Mr. Kellogg's request was denied.
He offered resolution IN the House to-day
directing the committee to investigate all the
charges against him. and supported it in long
speech in which he reviewed the history of the ef
forts to secure his indictment and conviction and
gave his version of the case.
MR.. HAMMOND $ BITTERNESS.
Mr.. Hammond, of Georgia, after bitter speechin
which he plainly showed that he believes Kellogg
to be guilty, mo we'd to lay the whole sub
ject on the table. This brought Mr.
Kasson to his feet with an indignant
protest. He declared that the proposition to deny
the request of an accused member for an investga-
ton under such circumstances was an astounding
one repugnant to the sense of fairness aud Justice
which ought to control the House in dealing with
a subject of vital importance to Its dignity and IN
tegrity, as well as to the reputation Of the member
accused.
Mr. Hammond held his ground firmly, however
He seemed to be acting in concert with the Speaker,
who was strongly inclined TO rule that the House
could not take cOgnizance of acts alleged 70 have
been committed by Representative before his
election
Mr. Kasson insisted that the House by the action
of one of its committees, had already taken Official
notice of the charges by receiving and publishing
testimony against the accused. Messrs. Laird, OK
Nebraska Hunt and Blanchard. of Louisiana, and
several Others spoke in favor of the resolution
Mr. Hammond f0resaw that his motion TO Kill lt
outright would be rejected and he therefore moved
that the resolution be referred TO the Judiciary
Committee, with instructions to inquire and report
whether the House has jurisdiction of the matter.
This motion was carried. 1t is generally believed
that the Democratic majority of the judiciary
Committee will prevent any report on the matter
until after the Presidential election, IN the hope
that by suppressing the investigation some politi-
cal capital may be saved to Il" the party"
