The Committee in a Quandary.

WAsHINTGoN, Dec. 9.-The house in
v~estigating committee to-day examined a
number of members with regard to the
notes Silcott is said TO have forged and
taken up for fear of the extradition laws.
Representative Mills argued before the
committee that the November salaries
should be regarded as lost by the mem
bers and that the amount remaining in
the possession of the Sc rgeant-at- arms
should be distributed at a rate proportion
ate to the losses among members who are
out their salaries for the period betw cen
March 4 and Nov. 4.
Catchings Of Mississippi made a strong
argument in support of the proposition
that the government should bear the loss
and Inappropriate the salaries of members.
The question as to the sergeant at arms
being the government agent or the indi-
vidual agent of members perplexed the
committee greatly on account of the COM
plication to which the adoption of either
view would lead.
Shortly after the house adjourned this
afternoon the speaker discovered through
a clerical error the name of Sherman OF
New York had been substituted for that
of Lacey of Iowa as a member OF the
committee on elections. The correction
was Immediately made.

THE STANDARD KNOCKED OUT.
Its Oil or Gas Leases Do Not Give 1t Abso-
lutte Control of Land.

FINDLAY, o., Oct. 3-Judge Pendleton of
the Hancock county court of common pleas
delivered his decision in the injunction suit of
the Standard oil company against the Toledo,
Findlay & Springfield railroad, to restrain that
corporation from constructing its road-bed
over lands on which the Standard held leases,
on the ground that an oil or gas lease carried
with it absolute control of the premises for all
purposes save alone agriculture. The judge
dissolved the injunction and in doing
so rendered q lengthy opinion deny
ing the position taken by the Standard,
that its leases of lands included the right to
control the surface 70 such extent as to pre-
vent the owners from giving or selling the
right of way across it for n railway or other
highway. Judge Pendleton decided that the
leases made 70 the Standard by the owners of
the land did not cover the control of the sur
face OF the lands but only gave the lessees the
right to use such of the surface as was neces-
sary 10 the prosecution of their work in devel-
oping and utilizing the gas and OIL in the in
terror. y decision in favor of the company
would have given them and other companies
absolute control over hundreds OF thousands Of
acres of land in Ohio, Indiana and Pennsyl-
vania. The Standard attorneys gave notice of
