The Senate Journal. of the Ohio Legis-
lature, of Saturday last, which recorded
the proceedings which resulted in seating
the four Republican Senators from Gin
cinnati, was stolen. The record was left
in the hands of the Democratic clerk, Val
landigham, on Sunday. He read 1t at his
desk on the morning of the 10th. At the
noon recess Mr.. Van Cleaf, the sole re-
manning Democratic Senator, asked
Senate clerk to make certified copy. The
clerk took it to the office and began the
work. Soon after he was sent for by Van
Cleaf and left the room open, the journal
lying on the table When he came back
it was gone. He was frenzied and told his
fellow-clerks. Vallandigham was SO agi-
tated that he shed tears. realizing that he
would be blamed. He clearly abs0lyed
himself, however, and the Republican
senators appointed commission of three
to investigate the theft. Suspicion is
attached to several Democrats who are
constantly about the Capitol. 1t was
found that all the clerks desks had been
pried open on Sunday with chisels. Some
one was hunting for the journal, which is
generally locked up. Clerk Vallandigham
has restored the journal, and it is not
thought that any advantage has been
gained by the robbery. A special COM |
mission has been appointed to investigate
the crime. If any Senator is implicated |
In it he will be expelled.

Politics and Pensions,

TESTIMONY OF COMMISSIONER BLACK TODAY.
The Senate committee on public expendi-
lures to-day resumed the investigation of PEN
sion Commissioner Black with reference to his
allegation that political influences had swayed
the pension office in the decision Of cases under
his predecessor. The case OF Edw. E. Kendrick.
adjutant of the 1Oth:New York volunteers dur
Ing the war, was taken up. A letter, dated
Washington, March oath, 1882, from Charles
C. Casey, who represented himself as a cousin
as Il soldier stating that he was taken prisoner
during the war and subjected TO such cruel
treatment that it broke down his health, aud
KeDdrick organized and commanded a bat
TALON of Morton guards, and was largely instru-
mental In the election of Levi P. Morton to
Congress; that Morton was in Paris, but would
earnestly support the application; that Ken
drick was republican to the back BONE" etc
In response to questions Gen. Black admitted
that there was testimony enough in the case to
procure pension, and that, aside from the
Casey letter, he would probably have issued a
certificate, but he maintained that the recital
OF the claimants political services seemed to
have procured the order making the case spe-
cial, as that order was issued soon alter the re-
cept OF the letter. The record showed that
Senator Miller and Representative Roswell p
Flower had also requested action but Gen
Black :, SAID there was nothing to show that Sem
ator Miller had ever stopped SO low as to ask
preferment because the applicant was a repub-
1ican."
The case of James P. Taylor, private of the
A'Ai -"ionisat cavalry, WHO alleSeO tnat In q
charge he was thrown forward on the pommel
Of his saddle and sustained injuries which re-
suited in u permanent structure, was taken up
The claim was first rejected and upon appeal
to the Secretary OF the Interior the rejection
affirmed. subsequently Taylor wrote to Con
gresham Burrows and sent along an appeal in
his behalf signed by a number of men whom
he (Taylor) wrote were earnest supporters of
Burrows. Mr.. Burrows asked that this case be
made special, and that was done. Gen. Black
held that the record indicated that it was DO
,htical influence which SO advanced it.
The committee adjourned until next Wed
neSday.

CONTINUATION OF THE TESTIMONY
The trial of John Hitz, president, and C. 8.
Prentiss, cashier, of the late German-American
bank, was resumed In the Criminal Court this
morning. The effort of the prosecution is to
show that the bank officers placed on their
books statement that the German.Americau
bank had credit of $4,000 at their reserve
agents, the Importers and Traders National
bank OF New York, when, in fact, the GA.
bank had no such balance there There had
been sent from the German-American bank to
the /. and I. bank in New York q note tor
$4,000, but this note, it is claimed, the New
York bank had many months before notified
the German-Aniertcan bank was not cash. Yes
terday afternoon the government attempted to
prove by the books Of the New York bank that
there was no such credit there corresponding
was made.
This morning, after argument, the Court said
that some OF the papers having been lost, their
contents might be proven by some person. As
TO the books he did not think that they could
be put In to prove that the contents OF papers,
but they might be used TO prove that there
was no discount OF the note In question.
An exception was nOteA
Mr.. Skinner, OF the New York bank, testified
that April i, 1873, there was balance of
$1,257.27 70 the credit OF the German-Ameri-
can bank and going over the accounts till
October said there was no entry OF $4,000
anywhere.
The discount books OF the Importers and
Traders bank were offered to show that no such
Townsend testified.
On cross-examination, he said he knew the
x4O, GOO demand note was In the possession OF
the bank.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
COLUMBUS, May 5-According TO q program
agreed upon last night nearly all the demo-
cratic senators LEFT the city during the night
and on the early morning trains. This move is
for the purpose OF breaking the quorum. 1t
now seems manifest that the democrats were
convinced that they were on untenable ground
and that the republicans would carry the day.
There is great excitement, and an effort will
probably be made to arrest some OF the demo-
Gratis era before they get out of town: Promptly at
ten O'Clock the senate was called 20 order, and,
IN accordance with a prearranged program,
LOOK recess Tor one hour. Mr.. Van Cleaf was
the only democrat present, making I'm all
eighteen members, or one short of a ouorum
he plan OF the democrats seems 10 be to leave
one member here tor the purpose OF demand
ing a call OF the senate from day to day. The
republicans have not yet decided what course
they will pursue.
REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE
The republicans seem to have an advantage
of the democrats in that the general appropria-
tion bill has not yet been signed, and the presi-
dent OF the senate will probably refuse to sign
until a quorum is present. 1t is believed that
this fact alone will cause the constituents OF
some members to demand that they return
and face the music.
The hour OF IL o'clock having arrived, the
senate was called TO order. The chair had read
the resolutions adopted by the citizens COM
mittee OF the 18th ward, Cincinnati denounc-
ing the report OF Senator Van Cleaf of the in-
vestigating committee, charging that gross
frauds We're perpetrated. Mr.. Conrad, republi-
can, then demanded a call OF the senate, which
showed that IL senators answered to their
names. Gen. Kennedy then ordered the SER
geant-at-arms to at once dispatch his messen-
gers for absentees, and for the information of

Mr. George Jones Examined To-day.

Mr. George Jones, of the New York Times was
the first witness called before the telephone in.
Vestlgatlng committee to-day. He said he was
related to the Times an owner, and had a
small voice In Its editorial management He
declined to name the chief of the editorial
stan, on the ground that the committee had
| no right to inquire into the internal affairs OF
the paper.
The position taken by the Times in the mat
Ter under investigation had been that the in
Quiry into the manner in which the Bell patent
had been issued and its validity-considering
i Its immense value-probably the most valuable
private monopoly there was on earth-that a
proper examination OF the manner in which
the Bell company had been given its franchise
was entrely correct. II 1t was legitimate
patent, there certainly could be no objection
TO having 1t examined.
Some examination was also proper into the
manner In which the patent had been rushed
through the Patent office, which somebody had
characterized as 'ltke streak of creased lighf-
Ming"
Mr.. Boyle inquired if there had been any at
temPt MADE to influence the course OF the fines

TO POSTPONE HOME RULE.
A New Parliamentary Program Mark ed
Out for Gladstone.

special cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, May 5.-I learn from conversations
with several politicians in the councils of the
government that the course Irish matters will
take is now fairly clear. Certainly there is a
rather surprising reconciliation between Glad
stone and Chamberlain. This is almost accom-
plished by the yielding of the former on several
points. The second reading of the home rule
bill therefore maybe regarded as practically GER
tain, but there will be little more than an abb
stract resolution in favor of home rule, limited
by the distinct condition of the retention of
Irish members at Westminster. Chamberlain
and his followers will vote for this, and il will
therefore have large majority. My informa-
ton is to the effect that 1t will then be with
drawn. o., as is said zhung upa till next year.
In the meantime public opinion will mature,
other much-needed legislation can be accom-
plished, the country will have the pleasing
spectacle of q well-behavod house Of commons
and Gladstone will have plenty Of time to re-
cast his scheme with every body's help. John
Morley will do his best to stop cvictions. Par
nell will make things as pleasant as possible
Everybody, politician or not, Will be thankful
TO escape a dissolution. A general election is
impossible OF course should there be any GER
tainty of matters taking this direction. give
this statement with reserve, but it is certainly
the opinion to-day In high quarters.
