The Indian Traderships Investigate

The Indian Traderships Investigation.
LIKELY TO BE CONTINUED BY THE SENATE
COMMITTEE AT ST. LOUIS DURING THE RE-
CESS.
The Platt select committee of the Senate are
considering the propriety of continuing the
investigation of Indian traderships at st. Louis
during the recess Of Congress. 1t may be
deemed necessary to call a number OF witnesses
from the Indian Territory, and members Of the
committee think it would be much cheaper to
Sit at st. Louis and have the witnesses come
there than to have them come ali the way to
Washington. The matter has not yet been de-
cidsd, but st. Louis will probably be selected as
the place for continuing the inquiry.

and delegation came on and the draft was
issued to Phillips, who, it is alleged, divided
the amount of $40, 500 thus received.
