An Incident of 1874, in Which MIR. Conkling
Figured Prominently.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The threat of some Of
the Senators to investigate newspaper men and
their methods Of obtaining the secrets Of exec
utive sessions revive many stories in regard to
former attempts at this thing, and one, es-
pecially, is interesting, it relates to Mr.. Conk
ling, and marks the starting point of the cool
ness between himself and the press here A
Senator who was in talkative mood gave me
an interesting account of the proceedings in the
Senate at the time-1874 The Senate
had just completed their work on the
Washington treaty. and thegreat points
of settlement between Great Britain and
this country had been decided but were not
ready for publication. The day after the ses-
sion several papers published the entire pro-
ceedings of the executive session. An
were arrested and locked up in the
capital. because they would not testify. During
one Of the sessions, Roscoe Conkling drew up
some resolutions in regard to the investigation,
and Senator Carpenter, Of Wisconsin, offered
them. Next day they were published Conk
ling was in towering rage and took occasion to
get up in the Senate and deny having written
the resolutions. The Senate galleries and floor
were crowded. The whole thing worked like q
play. Mr.. Conkling was most dramatic, as well
as emphatic In his denial of authorship of the
resolutions, and declared that the papers tried to
place him in a wrong light. Having had his say,
Mr.. Conklimg walked into the cloak-room. He
had hardly gone therein before Senator Henry
Wilson. afterwArd Vice president, entered the
Chamber by the main door He walked
to his seat, and before he had time to find out
what was going on he arose and addressed the
Chair in reference to these resolutions, drawn
by the Senator from New York Mr.. Conkling],
and offered by the Senator from Wisconsin Mr..
Carpenter in the last executive session. He got
no further, for some one arose in hurry and
choked the Senator off by saying he was giving
away executive secrets. The galleries looked
aghast Mr.. Conkling came from the cloak-room
looking like sheet so white and pale. He was
caught. The press gallery fairly shook with
suppressed laughter at his discontinue. He
made an explanation, but it was lame one.
This killed the investigation. The men were
discharged, and Conkling lost ground with the
press for the side he took against them that ne
has never regained-at least in Washington"

''Then the investigation will be failure, you
Think
ssWell, SO far as the action of the committee or
the majority of the House is concerned, yes but
good deal has been brought to light from which
important differences and conclusions may be
drawn. I mention the popularity of the inves-
tigation to show its extraordinary character.
Think of a committee or court attempting to get
material testimony from witnesses who are pro-
fessedly and apparently opposed to the point at
issue being brought out or proven It is very
extraordinary, and it is no wonder no startling
revelations Of damaging character have been
brought out 1t is like trying to prove murder
against man by witnesses who, before they are
examined, say they don't know anything about
a murder or the truth of the charge. It's uphill
work.

EATING AND DRINKING.
How Some of Our Public Men Look After
Their Personal Comfort

How Some of Our Public Men Look After
Their Personal Comfort.
Special to the Indianaooiis journal.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-There are number
of prominent men in Congress VINO look very
closely after their personal comfort, and several
who are very careless about it. Senator Saw
YER of Wisconsin, is very much of the time eat
ing or smoking and his rotund form shows that
his stomach and nerves fare well. His colleague,
Mr.. Spooper. is a hard worker. and is no doubt
toiling great deal Of the time when he imagines
the dinner bell is ringing, and his longing desire
for cigar is almost uncomfortable.
The two Maryland Senators seldom eat or
smoke when they busy while those from
Kentucky are much about the Senate restaurant
attending to all the inner man calls for. Sena-
tor Harrison, of Indiana, is one of the busiest
men in public life. but he manages to snatch a
moment for the restaurant and enjoys cigar
in his committee-room. His colleague, Mr.
Voorhees, is very much worried nowadays, and
gives less attention to his personal comfort than
he used to. He looks like life was burden to
him.
Don Cameron, of Pennsylvania, is miserable
man. He seldom eats anything, 80 far as the
public can see, and has ceased to enjoy drink,
a cigar anything else. Hemorrhages have
doomed him. His colleague, Mr.. Mitchells is the
very reverse-hale and hearty, he eats. drinks
and has good time.
The two distinguished Iowa Senators and the
pair from Minnesota SO far as self is concerned.
are somewhat similar. They never lounge about
the restaurant. although they preserve the
proper care of the inner man. Senator Allison,
who is one of the neatest men in personal ap-
pearance and business affairs, and one of the
ceanest in private character, is very seldom seen
outside of his committee-room or his seat on the
floor of the Senate. 1t has frequently been OBJ
served that in general traits of character Sena-
tors Allison and Harrison bear striking re-
semblance. Senator Edmunds eats. drinks and
chews whenever and wherever the notion strikes
him. Senator Evarts. who is said to be drying
up, eats but little, and does not smoke drink.
The two Senators from Illinois-Logan and Gull
lom-are good livers.
In the House, Mr.. Lyman, of Iowa, who is a
slender, smooth-faced man. and fine lawyer,
has won the appellation Of apple eater" by ap-
pearing almost everywhere about the capitol
with apple in his hand or at his mouth Mr..
Randall probably takes less notice of his physi-
cal wants than any other man. unless it be Alb
ram S. Hewitt, of New York, who doesn't look
like he would enjoy anything. Holman, of In
diana, is often seen in the House restaurant,
taking cup of hot tea. and bread and butter,
while General Browne, his able colleague, looks
sleek from good attention. Speaker Carlisle, al
though an extremely busy man, eats, drinks and
smokes pretty often. Nothing would give him
flesh, however, as he is nervous he wouldn't
wait till he wakes strong from his attentions,
personal and physical.

Putney, containing advertisements of their

great rushing by immense crowds to receive bal
