Congressional JunketIng

WASHINGTON, May 17.-There have
been many references in this session
to junketing parties, and hints have
been thrown out that the special labor
committee is organized for nothing
else, said member of that committee
to-day. "Let us look over their work.
We left Washington nineteen days
ago, and have been away from St.
Louis ten working days. The Texas
subcommittee travelled 1880 miles in
that time, and examined 248 witnesses.
The other subcommittee travelled
about 1000 miles and examined 200
witnesses. Returning to st. Louis we
took the testimony Of Martin Irons
and came home. Testimony was
taken in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas
and Texas, and we traversed a stretch
of country reaching from AtchisoU,
Kas to Galveston, Tex At work in
the morning at 8 o'clock and continu-
ing our labors with en- intermission OF
an hour or two until 10 o'clock at
night; to catch train and hurrying on
to the next point, so as to lose no
time that was the order OF our day.
We had two stenographers working
constantly, and they have not yet been
able to write out more than third of
their notes. You can judge whether
we have been junketing or not"
The committee desires to examine
Mr.. Hoxie before turning their atten-
ton to the preparation of their report.
That gentleman is now at Atlantic
City for the benefit of his health, and
will appear before the committee as
soon as he is physically able to do so.
Pending The submission OF theirreport,
the individual members of the COM
mittee decline to give any indication
'as to its nature.
