THE FORT BROWN INvEsTI ALTON.
The members Of the suo committee of
the HJnse military committee in charge
Of 1ne investigation CT the Fort Brown
matter have fnisned taking the testimony
srd sr5 now engaged upon their report.
This will commend the GcnOD of the War
Department in refusing TO carry out the
pEOf1SiOuS VI Lue ihW WHICH appropriated
the sum of Sl6O, 900 for the purchase OF
the site, an amount considered By the
War Department committee as being over
three times its actual value. The report
will be accompanied by DILL repeating
the sc. and approDriating $50. 900 in lieu
Of the amount named. The new bill will
cou tsil clause providing that unless the
owners consent to transfer the property,
guaranteeing clesr title, within ninety
days CT the passage OF the bill, for the
gum nsned, the sct shall cease to have
effect. The owners will no doubt be glad
to accept the amount rather than miss
the sale altogether, but the action OF the
committee Will De great dlsappoint-
meat.
