Investigating Charges That They
Abuse Their Privileges.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-The committee
appointed under Delegate Voorhees, resolu-
ton to investigate allegations of abuse by
ex-members OF the privileges of the house,
met this morning. Delegate VOORHEES,
made statement to the committee substan-
TALLY the same as that made by him in the
house i'll April last, to the effect that he
had repeatedly encountered on the floor
Mr.. l.. ID. M. Sweat, an eX-member from
Maine, who had appeared before commit
tees as an attorney for the Northern Pacific
Railroad company. He insists that it was
not in contemplation Of the rule extending
to ex-memberS the privileges of the floor
that attorneys should be allowed to serve
their clients there.
Mr.. Sweat then examined. He said
that he had been a member Of the congress
that had granted the Northern Pacific charter.
For about two years past he had been en-
ployed as the agent of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, to look after their inter-
ests in the various departments. He de-
clared that he had never violated the letter or
spirit of the house rule, extending the floor
privileges to eX-memb ers. When reSOlu-
ton prOpounding certain inquiries to the
Northern Pacific company had been intro
duced, he had gone to Delegate Voorhees, and
asked him for information touching the
scope Of the resolution Gas it had not been
printed) in order to facilitate the preparation
of an answer. Mr.. Sweat admitted that he
had made statement concerning the North
ern Pacific before house committee, and had
been on the floor. On one occasion member
had requested him to furnish some statistical
information touching the Northern Pacific,
but he had declined to do so. While on the
floor, although he had promised to give it to
him at his (the member's) room. Mr.. Sweat
aso stated that he had given some employ
ment to Mr.. Dunnell, an eX-member from
Minnesota, who had prepared some papers
for him. The inquiry will be continued Eext
Wednesday.

WASHINGTON. June 26.-United States
Consul Griffin of Sidney, brother of Mary
Anderson's stepfather, has made some eX-
haustive studies of the inhabitants of New
ocean. and gives the state department the
benefit Of his researches. Among other
things he says that the inhabitants have the
custom of combining their girls in cages until
they are old enough to marry. The custom,
he says. is peculiar to that island and with.
out parallel among the other inhabitants
of the South seas. These girl cages are
made of twigs of the palm trees, and the
girls are put into them when they are only
2 or years of age. The cages are built in
side the house and the girls are never al
lowed to leave under any circumstances
and are only taken out of the cage once a
day to be washed. The houses themselves
are closely fenced in with a sort of wicker
work made of reeds. Ventilation. under
the circumstances, is rendered difficult.
The girls are said to grow up strong and
healthful in spite of these disadvantages.
The natives are very fond of jewelry made
of shells or bone. Both men and women
are entirely nude except small strip of
bark or leaves around the loinS. They have
thick, black Curly hair, large fiat noses and
symmetrical bodies They display great
fondnesS for feathers of gaudy colorS. with
which they decorate their heads. Some
times they wear helmet or head dress,
about eighteen inches in height, made OF
bark and SeaWeedS and Ornamented with
shells, cats eyes, etc.

strokes to the minute, while Columbia was
putting in thirty-nine. Harvard took the
lead and kept it to the half mile, being
about ten feet ahead. Columbia kept up a
steady thirty-nins stroke to the mile stake,
Harvard dropping to thirty-seven. At the
end of mile they were Tapped, Columbia
rowing thirty-six and Harvard thirty-seven.
At the end of a mile and half Columbia
was leading by ten lengths, and quickened
to forty, rowing clean and strong. Har-
ward tried to match it, but could not. Both
dropped to thirty-seven and then to thirty
six, and at the end of two miles Columbia
led by eight lengths. Near the three-mile
stake Harvard spurted up to forty again,
Columbia rowing thirty-three, and gradu-
ally crept up until only two lengths sepa-
rated them, and it looked as if Columbia
was done and could not rise above thirty
three, with the certainty of being beaten
unless it We're done, provided Harvard
could hold the pace. But Harvard dropped
to thirty-two, and Columbia went up to
thirty-six and to thirtg-nine at the three
and-a-half-mile stake, where Harvard was
four lengths behind. From that point to
the end Columbia gave magnificent
exhibition of rowing, crossing the finish at
thirty-seven strokes, twenty-five seconds
ahead of the champions.

Have BECOME Laws.
| Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-The indications
now are that nearly every department of
the government will have to be kept run
ming by a temporary renewal of the appro-
priation bills for the current year after the
LIST of July. Three only of the fourteen
general appropriation bills have been signed
by the president, and it will be many DAYS,
possibly weeks, before the remainder are
ready for executive approval A great deal
of anxiety is felt among members on both
sides of the house i'll regard to the probable
course of the president with some Of the
bills. This is especially the case with the
river and harbor bill, upon which the sem
ate will add appropriations aggregating
about SIS. 600. 900 in ALL In all probability
that body will attempt to saddle on to this
bill S1,00000O for the beginning
of the long-delayed work of the
! Hennepin canal. This is the only way
that there seems to be any prospect for Sc
curing this important improvement so much
needed among the farmers of the West. and
unless it goes on to the river and harbor
bill this year, it is in all probability dead
for some years to come Already there is
talk of what the course will be in case the
president should veto this bill, and it is be-
lieved by the friends of the measure that it
can pass the house in spite of the veto, if
the president undertakes to set his foot
down upon it. In the forty-seventh con-
gress, during the long session, President
Arthur vetoed the $40, 600, goo bill for a
similar purpose, but it was passed in
both houses by a two-thirds vote within
three days of the receipt of the veto mes

Alleged cotton syVindle.

ST. LOUIS. June 26.-One of the biggest
cotton swindles on record has just been
successfully executed in this market. 1t
was worked by buyer who formerly had
headquarters in Hope. Ark. but now does
business from Texarkana. Tex. About a
month ago he arranged the sale of 8, 900
bundles of good middling from Texarkana
to Eastern buyers, sending samples from
the place. He requested the privilege of
shipping from st. Louis, as he could make
better freight arrangements, and having Sc
cured the cotton shade under the market
the Eastern parties readily gave him per
mission to forward the cotton in that way.
Having secured the buyers consent for that
purpose the Texan came here and bought
recklessly all the low sandy and stained
cotton he could find, until he filled his Or
ders. The cotton was shipped, the drafts
paid on the samples. His excess profits
are estimated at $25. 900.

THE SUNDRY-CIVIL BILL.
The House Half Through with It's
CONFEDERATION.

Consideration.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-The house
went into commtte of the whole (Mr.
civil appropriation bill. On motion of Mr..
Randall an amendment was adopted in
creasing the force of employs in the bureau
of engraving and printing and increasing
the appropriation therefor, this being made
necessary by the provision placed in the
bill for$1 and So greenbacks and for small
certificates.
The amendment offered yesterday by Mr..
Ermentrout of Pennsylvania for the recoin-
age Of trade dollars into standard silver dol
lars was ruled out on point of order. Mr.
Long of Massachusetts offered an amend
ment appropriating $25, 900 for the education
Of children of school age in Alaska. This
was lost by tie VOTE 81 to 50. Mr.. Viele of
New York offered an amendment appropriat-
ing $4,000 for the salaries and expenses of
the National board of health. Rejected. In
discussion of the paragraph making an ap-
preparation for the completion of the pension
office building, that structure came in for
good deal of hostile criticism. Mr.. Denham
of Illinois remarked that it was
AN ARCHITECTURAL MONSTROSITY
Mr.. Rogers of Arkansas characterized it as a
cross between a horse-car stable and union
depot, and Mr.. Springer of Illinois declared
CnaC III WAS OuOHSlNS 10 lue VISION, and SlQ-
gested that some of the present ornamental
tons should be blown up with dynamite.
Mr.. Cannon Of Illinois maintained that the
building was commodiouS, well venti-
lated and better adapted to its pur-
poses than any other public building in
Washington. Mr.. Mcmillan of Tennessee also
spoke in high terms of the commissioners of
the building and maintained that for its cost
it was very satisfactory. In debating amend
ments prescribing the nature of the frescoes
to be placed in the rotunda Of the capitol,
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio took occasion to deny
the published report that he had assaulted the
people of New England in speech recently
delivered by him. He declared that he had
never named the people of New England at
all in that speech. Mr.. Beach of New York
moved to strike out the clause appropriating
$500, 600 for the continuation of the improve
ment of Hot Springs creek, Arkansas. In
supporting the motion, Mr.. Payne of New
York ridiculed the position in which the gov
eminent had placed itself in connection with
the Hot Springs reservation. Mr.. Rogers of
Arkansas set forth in some detail the neces-
sty for the appropriation and opposed the
motion. The motion was defeated. The COM
mittee having completed the consideration of
half the bills, rose and the house adjourned.
