THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
A Forecast of the business OF Senate and
House.

n EbtNNAhA VI tnH AhnhAnehh Oh 3tnAiH anu
House.
WASHINGTON, March l0.-The interest Of
the past week in congressional circles has
centered in the investigation of secret session
leakages, in which Mr.. Dolph's committee
has been engaged. That committee is now
engaged in calling senator's as witnesses,
and their examination may keep the COM
mittee busy during a greater part OF the
week. The general impression is that with
this examination the investigation will
cease, and that the proposed Imprisonment
Of recalcitrant newspaper witnesses will
never take place.
Mr. Blair's educational bill will occupy
the senate in the afternoons of the coming
week, and an effort will be made to bring it
to a vote Friday afternoon. II it appears
that this cannot be done the appropriations
committee will bring in the urgentdeiiciency
bill and interrupt the debate on the Blair
bill long enough to pass IT, The committee
on privileges and elections will submit its
report on the Montana contest some time
during the week, and MIR. Hoar will ask that
it he given consideration at an early day
Much interest is felt IN the establishment Of
a permanent order Of business when the
Blair bill shall be out Of the way
Mr., Frye will endeavor to have the Pacific
railroad refnnding bin taken up; Mr. platt
will put forward the bin for the admission
Of Wyoming: Mr.. Sherman will press his
antitrust bill (which has had already a
partial consideration) Mr.. Hale win urge
his bill for the increase for the naval estab-
lishment; Mr.. Dolph will ask consideration
for his Mexican award bill. and finally the
under valuation bill, which will have been
reported from the committee on finance by
that Time will make a strong fight for i'm.
mediate consideration.
During the morning through the coming
week the calendar will be considered, and
the Oklahoma town site bill may be further
debated
The committee on territories will push t.
a conclusion this week in the house the bill
providing for the organization Of the terri
tory Of Oklahoma. Messrs Baker, Of New
York, and Dorsey, OF Nebraska, have given
notice that they will call up for considera
ton the bills for the admission of Wyoming
and Idaho to statehood, but on account ol
the Oklahoma bill this part of the pro
gramme may not be carried out. The com
mittee on elections has the contested case oI
Mudd vs.. Compton from the Fifth Mary
land district ready to bring before th,
house, and in this event It will be pushed t
a conclusion--the seating Of Mr.. Mudd
Friday as usual will be private bill day.

Tha Finding Of the Body.
The spot where Frederick Benwell was
murdered is an uncnnny thicket set in the
midst of swamps In the little hamlet OF
Princeton. It Is desolate aud fearful IN is
isolation Until tho rough cart track was
cut through the tract in 1888 the forest had
been deserted even by the woodcutters foT
years. Several days after the murder the
body was discovered by two woodsmen.
When the body was found it was lying
astride rotten tree stump. The legs were
partly crossed, while the trunk itself half
rested, hall hung over the stump. The head
was bent backward against tho spine The
eyes were closed, so was the mouth. The
right arm and hand had been frozen into a
clinched position OF defiance, while the left
hung limp. The flesh was blue from exposure
20 the cold. There were two bullet holes IN
the head.
How the Deed Was Done.
A very plausible theory is that Benwel
and his murderer were walking down th,
road, the one before the other. The muir
derer, when bis opportunity was best, drew
out his revolver and fired two shots into thi
neck Of his companion.
He must have been hard upon his victim
| for the powder from one bullet, as II en-
tered the side Of tha head, burned the eyl
and scorched IL with the powder The othei
bullet entered just below the base Of thu
brain, square in the back
