House-Other Washington Dispatches.
WASHINGTON. March 1O.-The interest
of the past week in congressional circles
has conferred In the investigation of
secret session leakages in which Mr..
DaIph's committee has been engaged.
That committee isnow engaged in cSlling
senators rs witnesses, and their exam
ination may keep the committee busy
during a greater part of the week. The
general impression is that with this ex-
animation the investigation will cease
and that the proposed imprisonment of
recalcitrant newspaper witnesses viii
never take place.
Mr.. Blairs educational bill will occupy
the senate's afternoons during the com
inE week, and an effort viii be made to
bring 1t 10 a vote Friday afternoon. If
II appears that this cannot be done the

Mr. DOlph viii ask consideration for his
Mexican award bill, and finally the IN.
der valuations bill which viii have been
reported from the committee on finance
by that time, will make a strong fight
for immediate consideration.
During the morning hour through the
coming week the calendar viii be con-
siderate and the Oklahoma town site
been may be further debated.
The committee on territories VIII push
% a conclusion this week in the house
the bill providing for the organization of
the territory of Oklahoma. Monday will
be consumed in dispOsing of matters con-
neCted with the District of Columbia.
MeSsrs. Baker, Of New York. and Dor
sey, Of Nebraska, have given notice that
they will call up for consideration the
bills for the admission Of Wyoming and
Idaho 10 statehood, but on account Of the
Oklahoma bill this part of the program
may not be carried out.
The committee on elections has the
contested case Of Mudd VS.. Compton,
from the Fifth Maryland district, ready
70 bring before the house, but BIr. Coon
er who has charge Of the case is willing
20 let the committee on territories dis
pose of its business before doing So
There Is a probability however, that the
case viii be brought up before the end
of the week, and in tbs event it will be
pushed to cOEclusiOn-the seating of

EIeetricIty Under Ground.

LONDON, March S.-The promoters of
the scheme to substitute electricity for
steam as the motive power on the under
ground railroad system of London are
enthusiastic over the successful test of
one of their motors which was made on
the Chaplain line yesterday. The motor
drew an ordinary train at the rate of
twenty miles an hour without the slight
est difficulty, and the fact that the work
was performed seventy feet beneath the
surface and involved a passage through
the tunnels under the river, showed the
fallacy of the objections of those who
have commended that the use of cleo
tricity underground is impracticable.
