A letter from Cincinnati yesterday addressed
to person in this city contained an alleged
revelation Of a fathers crime. The writer
thereof, son of the man accused, gave what
purported to be his sisters statement in refer
ence tn her living with the father in this city.
She charges him with incest. The letter was
handesl to Superintendent Lang, of the
police FORCE as the father lived here in the south
part of the city. He telegraphed to Cincinnati
for further particulars, in answer to which
Colonel Hudson. Police Superintendent, replied
that his officers had the writer of
the letter. who expressed Willingness
to make an affidavit against the father.
Upon receiving this Superintendent Lang
went to the boarding place of the man accused
to arrest him, but found he had left the city
Wednesday last for Louisville, KY, and trip
through Kentucky. He expected to go to Gin
cinnati where his wife and two children live.
The story of the horrible crime is probable but
its present weakness in the absence of any
forma! charge against the man, together with
other features, make its untruthfulness equally
probable

Rights of Removed Officials.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-The Republican SEN
ators met in caucus at 1890 this morning, and
adjourned at half-past /. Their purpose was to
compare views with regard to the right of the
Senate to information as to the Presidents rea-
sons for making removals from Office. The fact
was stated that many of the inquiries addressed
TO the heads of departments by chairmen of
committees remain unanswered, but up to this
time the answers indicate purpose to refuse to
give this information. No formal proposition
was made and no action taken. While wide
variety Of opinions found expression with
regard to the propriety of raising a
formal issue with the administration at present
upon this question, majority were of the opin-
ion that should the information sought net ulti-
Inately be forthcoming the Republicans will. in
justice to the men who have been suspended or
removed for supposed cause. be required to take
some formal action in the Senate to secure the
Information, or an avowal by the President that
he will not give his reasons for making re-
movals. There was unanimous concurrence in
the opinion that removed officials have right
to know whether they were removed for political
reasons or maladministration Of their trusts, and
that it is the senator's duty to secure this infor
nation if possible
