The Telephone Scandal.

WASHINGTON, February 4.-The House
Committee on expenditure, in the de-
partment of justice, to-day, agreed
upon a resolution calling upon the
Secretaries of the Treasury and In
terror and Acknowledgement for infor-
nation as to the amount of money, if
any, which had been expended by
Government in the Telephone cases re-
Gently before the Interior department.
Chairman Gibson said that the Han
back resolution limited the scope of the
investigation to the expenditures of
government, and while the committee
did not want to shirk any response
bility, it had no authority to open up
the telephone controversy. He said
that as one member of the committee,
he did not think it should be made the
duty of the Court of Appeals, to decide
whether Secretury Lamar's decision was
correct or not, afu ~

Grawford's killing.

WASHINGTON, February Alt is be-
ieved at the War Department that the
killing OF Captain Crawford by the
Mexican troops was the result of an ac-
cident, and that the Mexicans fred on
his command under the impression that
they were hostiles. The statement that
United States troops had stock in their
possession at the time of the attack,
which had been stolen in the vicinity,
is explained by Lieutenant Mans re-
port, that they had just captured it
from hostile Indians 1t is explained
that Captain Crawford was unable to
show to show the identity of his COM
mand at the outset of the firing BY
Mexicans, because of his ignorance of
the nature of the attack, and the gen
eral Generalization which it caused.

oy ODonovan Rosso regarding the sever
ance of his official connection with tn e
Brotherhood to make a statement to the
public giving the reasons which rendered,
as they say, the removal OF Rossa, ian
absolute necessity" The document,
which is very long, is signed by George
Smith, OF Green Point, n. Y, Edward
Whalen, OF Paterson, n. j., Rudolph
Fitzpatrick, OF West Chester, n. Y, John
Murphy, OF New York city, John l.. Dut.
fy, of Philadelphia, William j. Gleesou-
OF New York city, John ID. Driscoll, OF
Boston, James Hughes, Of New York
city and Francis Rea, of Paterson, n. j.
The statement says in brief that
no misfortune has beiallen the Brother
hood OF late years, for which O'Donovan
Rossa is not personally responsible. An
investigating committee of five, on which
were tour OF his personal friends, unRni-
mously found him guilty Of fraud, treach-
cry, treason, persistent violation OF the
constitution in financial matters and
gross indiscretion. The convention unani-
mously adopted this report.
"We would add that Rosa has refused
to give up the keys OF the post-ofice box
rented and paid for by the Brotherhood,
and In possession ofthe Brotherhood since
1865, and that he has informed the COM
mlttee OF our organization that he would
retain all moneys coming to SAID box or
letters or cards. etc, intended for the
Brotherhood. We would therefore ask
the friends of the Brotherhood TO address
all future communications to The Fenian

ference missions in March and April. The

AN EXTRA SESSION BORE.
GEORGIA'S LAWN AKERS BOUND
TO HANG ON.

The Senate Expected to Concur without
DeIay-The BIZ LevyinG Special
Tax for Tho New Capitol Passed by the
House-3SS senate and House Bills
Enacted ON.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. Tn the Senate
to-day the committee report was adverse
to the passage OF the bill Incorporating
North Rome. 1t was agreed to, and the
bill was lost.
The following bills passed: Amending
the charter OF the Darien Short Line rail-
way; repeating the fishing and game laws
Of bingham; repeating the registration
law OF Eftingham; amending the aot pro-
viding for correct return of property for
taxation; defining incest and prescribing
punishment.
The following new bills were intro
duced.
BY Mr., Powell-To incorporate the
Macon City and Suburban street railroad.
BY Mr.. Simmons-Providin for tn @
registration of voters in Clinch county.
In executive session the following APP
pointments were confirmed: j. q. Cain,
Judge OF the County Court of Jefferson
county, and William l.. Phillips, Solicitor
OF the same; L. g. Ryan, County Judge
OF Pulaski.
The appropriation bill was taken up,
and after some consideration was made
the special order for tomorrow and 100
copies were ordered printed.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the House, the bill of Mr.. Gordon, from
the Finance Committee, levying a special
tax for the new capitol was read the third
time and passed.
The special order, the general tax bill,
was taken up. It was discussed by para
graphs. The first change made in the
bill was on the tax OF $25 on auctioneers,
providing that it shall not apply to per-
sons auctoneering for pay. Pending dis
cUssion on the tax on emigrant agents
further consideration OF the bill was post
poned to tomorrow.
The special joint committee on the
condition of business reported 1888 Senate
and House bills unacted on. The ma
jority is still in the hands Of the COM
mittees. The committee reported that
an extension OF the session was neces-
sary, and recommended the adoption OF
the resolution OF Mr.. Calvin, of Rich.
mond, that the session be prolonged
beyond the first forty days for such time
as is necessary to transact the public
business.
Mr.. Harrison, Of Quitman, tried to
amend by fixing the extension at thirty
days, but failed.
The resolution received the two-thirds
vote required and considerably more. 1t
was therefore adopted and ordered imme-
dIately transmitted to the Senate, which
will no doubt concur. This is taken to
mean the usual long summer session.
The constitutional limit expires
on Dec. 10, and 1t was the unbroken
opinion of the ! 'use that an extension
was necessary.

NO HOPE FOR CLUVERIUS
GOV. LEE UNABLE TO FIND
GROUND FOR INTERPRETING.

-----
The Prisoner Evidently Staggered by
the Terrible News, but Maintains HIS
Outward Appearance OF Composure-
A Beliefthat tho Governor May Grant
Respite for Thirty Days,
RICHMOND, Dec. 7.-Gov. Lee to-day
sent a letter to the counsel OF Cluverius,
who Is now under sentence OF death Tor
the murder Of Fannie Lillian Madison, IN
which he says that he has given to their
statements, and to all the papers and pes
titlons presented for executive clemency
in behalf OF the prisoner. the careful con-
sideration which their Importance de-
msnded. The Governor then adds: "The
prisoner came from the judicial to the
Executive Department of the govern
ment marked Guilty by the judges aud
jury. Starting at that point, therefore,
have been diligently studying the record
while industriously seeking information
and evidence from all other sources which,
might concluslvely prove TO my mind
that the verdict Of the court was
an error, and that. therefore, the
sentence pronounced by the Court oil
Hastings and affirmed by Virginia's high.
est court must be set aside or commuted!
with an earnest desire to faithfully exc.
cute. without fear or favor, the laws Of
the State impartially to all; with most pro.
found sympathy for those upon whose
hearts this blow must fall; with a clear
conscience that am discharging my duty
TO the people OF my State, as God has given
me strength to see 1t, / write you to in,
form you that l have hot been able I'd
reach different conclusion from that
held by the courts, and, therefore, thu
case OF Thomas j. Cluverius is not one, in
my opinion, to call for executive interfer,
ence, either by the exercise of the par,
doning power or by commutation OF sent
tence."
CLUvERIUs INFORMED.
The Governors decision was conveyed
to the jail by Judge W. W. Crump, tho
senior counsel, and his son, Beverly 4!
Crump, who acquainted the prisoner with
It, Cluverius stood the ordeal with tha
same fortitude which has generally char.
acterized his conduct since ais arrest nd
during his trial. After the counsel LEFT
him, however, it was plainly apparent
that the awful news he had heard had a
marked effect, and that 1t was as much
as he could do to maintain his wonted
comDosure. Shortly alter the counsel
left the cell several reporters visited tho
jail and made an effort to see the prisoner.
but when informed OF their object by the
"death watch" Cuverius said: 81 do NOT
want TO see anybody" he was seated iu
an arm chair with his elbows on his knees
and bis chin buried In his hands. Seeing
the reporters at the door OF bis cell hG
changed bis position and endeavOred ia
appear calm and collected. butt was evi,
dent that the blow had struck home. The
counsel presented a petition for respite I'd
the Governor this evening. No time was
named, as that is left to the Governors
discretion. IL is the general impression
that respite OF thirty days will b,
granted.
