ceived compensation directly or in
directly for any information relating
to the status of pension claims.
Samuel RHersey had said he be-
lieved Mr.. Flenniken sometimes sold
the information he secured by means
of congressional slips. George w.
Wayson, formerly assistant chief of
the several examining divisions of
the pension bureau, said he had new
er obtained or solicited any money
for anything he had done in the Of
fee, but when questioned as to
whether or not he had borrowed
money or secured Endorsements from
a number of his subordinates, whose
names were given, he declined in
each case to answer the questions,
declaring that the matter was private
and in no way affected his official
acts.
Harvey G. Ellis testified that one
time he loaned Wayson $50, but he
declined to state whether he in
dorsed any notes for Wayson on the
ground that it was his private bust
ness. He also declined to say wheth-
er he had been called in from the
field to rer ew note for Mr.. Way
son. The witness, however, volun-
teered the statement that the transac-
ton he had with Wayson had never
benefited HIM (witneDs), nor did any
such transaction cost him a cent. The
witness still persisted in refusing to
answer the question bearing on the
financial question, and the commit
tee decided to report to the house a
resolution requesting the commits
sioner of pensions to discharge him
from office, as was done in the case
of previous witnesses.

Palmer exclaimed.
Bad Bacon the Cause of Trouble.
Mr. Henderson alluded to the charge that
rancid bacon had been supplied one of the
Indian reservations, and complained of be.
ing misrepresented in the Chicago papers.
He had been charged with saying in the dis.
cussion last week that the Sioux outbreak OF
ls90-9l was caused by the fact that GOO
pounds of bad bacon had been furnished by
Armour, of Chicago. or course that was
very absurd, because the contract with
Armour & Co. was made subsequent to that
Sioux outbreak. But these newspaper arti-
cles, lie said, had produced one very excel
lent result-the writing of a letter by Gen.
eral Miles to him attributing the trouble aS

food issued to the Indians: and commencing
the action of Captain Penny in rejecting bad
bacon.
Mr. Henderson also read from the official
report of the Board of Survey on the bacon
in question; showing that the first lot u.s.
600 pounds) was not of first-class quality;
that the second lot $4,000 pounds) could not
be issued in its entirety because of its
moldy and rancid condition.: and that the
third lot tl2l,000 pounds) was totally unfit
for use.
Controversy Over the Chinese Bill.
After Mr. Henderson concluded his speech
Mr.. Dolph moved that the House bill ITO
absolutely prohibit the coming of Chinese
persons into the United States be laid before
the Senate and referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations. He said that the House,
instead of acting on the Senate bill on the
snbject had passed an independent meas
ure as if it was the inten ton of the House
to prevent any legislation on the subject.
If it had amended the Senate bill the whole
mittee. The bill was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.
. The discussion of the question as to the as
signment OF army officers to perform the
duties of Indian agents was then resumed,
and Mr.. Cullom argued against the PROPOSE
ton.
Mr. Proctor argued briefly in support of
the House proposition.
Mr. Dawes, having charge of the bill, made
an earnest appeal to the Senate to agree to
his motion 10 strike the army officer pro-
vision out of the bill. Before he concluded
his address the Senate adjourned.
