COLUMBUS. March 0. Judge Thurman
Ia back from Washington, fresh aud
halcyon, aud very much pleased with bis
trip, albeit he was bually engaged and
hard at work all the time Oh the great
case OF the people against the Bell Tele-
phone monopoly. The bill or petition Ia
all completed, except few nnimporb'
ant details which Will be looked after by
the associate counsel, when II will be
forwarded 10 Judge Thurman for dual
review. The place for instltnting the
suit has not been absolutely determined,
but the chances are In favor OF C0lnm-
bus. Roscoe Conkling will be the lead.
Ing attorney on the Bell side OF the case.
There 10 no truth In the story published
In the east that Judge Thurman and Mr..
Mowry, OF New Yrk, disagreed 40 10 the
mode Of bringing the suit, and that
Thurman came home In dlsguat because
he could not have his way. He Ia lead
Ing counsel In the case, and being such
would have his way about II. He was
given charge OF the case because the
Administration knew that his way would
be the right way.
NOTHING DoNR.
Enough members OF the House got
together at o'clock last evening TO
make q showing, and went through the
calender, VIII Gu contained 28 bills for O
second reading. These were read by
their titles, aud referred TO the appro.
priate committees. But there were not
enough members TO do anything else
that required constitutional majority.
In the senate about the same condition
Of things existed and substantially the
same performance was gone through
with.

mittee, and numerous interviews with
both OF them are being published, fol-
lowed by denials and other Interviews,

Tho Payne committee expects 10 ex-
anime quite q number OF witnesses his
week, " II can secure their attendance,
including Allen 0. Myers, John r. Nc
Lean, W. p. Thompson and Oliver
Payne. But whether they will mater
