Senator Sherman and the Finance Com.

Senator Sherman and the Finance Com.
WHAT Is SAID ABOUT HIS DECLINATIoN TO
SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE.
Senator Sherman's positive refusal in open
Senate yesterday to serve on the finance COM
mittee, as mentioned In The STAR, was not q
surprise to good many members of the Senate
He had said before that he would not .erve ON
the committee as 1t was constituted. Referring,
in caucus to the subject of his continuance on
the committee, it seems that Mr.. sherman did
not express any personal objections to any
member of the committee, but thought that New
England ideas dominated and the west, or his
constituents, could not obtain fair and Impair
tial consideration, Of its interests. 1t was the
prevailing belief among Senators that Mr.. Sher-
man had reference to the action of the commit
tee in fixing the tariff on WOOL There was no
little comment about the Senate chamber yes
teriay afternoon upon Mr.. Sherman's course,
and there were those who said he wanted the
chairmanship and thought he was entitled to II.
When Senator Sherman went into the Hayes
cabinet Mr.. Morrill, became chairman Of the
anance committee, and he has held the posi-
ton ever since. Since the beginning Of the
special session there has been more or less gos-
sfp about Mr. sherman and the craftsmanship
Of the committee, but Mr.. Morrill,, in accordance
with the method OF the Senate In reorganizing
committees, was entitled to 1t, and he has pre-
ferred to hold 1t. There IL no unfriendly feeling
between Senators Sherman and Morrill,.

LONDON, March 4.-The Standard says the
agreement between England and Russia leaves
the essence OF the difficulty untouched. Mat
ters must have been bad when such an agree
ment was paraded as diplomatic gain. Many

THE NAVAL VOUCHER FRAUDS.
The Cases Of Carrigan and Kirk wood.


In the Criminal Court, Judge Macarthur, this
morning in the cases of Daniel Carrigan and
Edwin c. kirkwood, indicted on several charges
of making and presenting false vouchers Of the
bureau of medicine and surgery, the general de-
murrers flied by Mr.. A. b. Williams were, I'm
in the case Of kirkwood, overruied and the
cases now stand for pleading. In the case of
Carrigan the demurrers were withdrawn and
motions to quash filed and argued. The points
made by Mr.. Moulton are that the indictments
are not signed on behalf of the United States.
and that the signature is that of an individual
and not that of an officer known TO the laws.
he claimed that the term attorney of the
United States does not bind the United states
and the signature as it stands only binds him as
an individual.
The court overruled the motion and an excep-
ton was noted.
Mr.. Aioulton then filed pleas in abatement,
ana the government demurred to them. The
demurrers were sustained and exceptions
noted. Mr.. Moulton hled general demurrers to
the indictments, and, issue being Joined, they
were overruled and exceptions noted.
=, Inc district attorney said that he would ask
that the parties plead next Saturday and the
cases be set for trial the following week.
