Under Discussion.

The Entertainment of the Grand Army
Under Discussion.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Senate to-
day took up the bill making appropria-
tions for the expenses of the government
of the District of Columbia. Mr.. McMil-
Ian. for the district committee, offered
an amendment appropriating $4,000 for
the reception and entertainment Of the
Grand Army of the Republic in Washing
ton, half of the amount to be paid from
the treasury and the other out of the rev.
enues of the District of Columbia, pro-
yided that no part of the appropriation
should be available until 100000 was
raised by popular subscription and ex-
pended. Mr.. Mcmillan offered for him
self a substitute appropriating 100000
for the same purpose. ;,
Mr. Harrison spoke against the amend
ment and the substitute, on the ground
that Congress had no constitutional power
or authority to levy taxes and collect
money from the earnings OF the people
for any other than legitimate public pur-
poses. Mr.. Vest also opposed the propo-
sition. The invitation to the Grand Army
of the Republic had been presented by
citizens of Washington alone.
Mr.. Cockrell offered an amendment
| that the whole amount should be paid
exclusively out Of the revenues of the
| District of Columbia.
Mr.. Mcmillan argued against MI. Cock

sented himself the night before as Chas.

walked from Salem. He did not look at
all like the Peter Emo whom the police
knew three months ago, as he was thin,
seedy and dusty. He was given lodgings
and slept soundly while the police up

who had known Emo, came in he was
asked if he recognized the man calling
himself Little. The officer, after scru-

RAuM's BOMB SHELL.
A Surprise in the Investigation of the
Pension Office.

A surprise In Cno InVeSUlgaG1On OI INC
Pension Office.
WASHINGTON, April IA sensation
was sprung unexpectedly in the Raum
investigation this morning when Mr..
Enloe asked if the secretaries of cong
ressmen ever sold information of the
status of claims to pension attorneys.
Mr. Raum had big bundle of papers
and was prepared for just this sort of
question, for he produced them and read
letters in which charges were made that
Samuel R. Hersey had through Ragan 6
Co., of Kenton, o., Ell. c. Peet, of Colunl-
bus, Ind, carried on quite a business of
this sort, charging So to each claimant
for the status. 1t was then shown that
Hersey had called up these cases on con-
gressional slips signed by Representative
Cooper, of Indiana, one of the prosecu-
tors in the case. Hersey also worked for
Mr.. Brookshire, of Indiana, and Mr..
Gantz, of Ohio, but it was not shown
that Hersey's connection with them had
been the same as with Cooper, the in
vestigation directed by the commission
having related solely to MI. Cooper.

Philadelphia Authorities.

PHILADELPHIA, April Another bo-
gus medical college has been added to
the list by DR.. Samuel S. Hoppin, register
of physicians of this county. 1t is the
Vermont Medical College, of Rutland,
vt. The fraud was unearthed by DR..
Hoppin, after a well known member of
the bar presented for registration the
name of ''Dr. Benjamin E. Brown" ac-
companied by a diploma purporting to
have been issued by the above college.
The diploma bore upon its face such man
ifest evidence of it's invalidity, that the
registrar refused to receive it. Subse-
quently, DR.. Hoppin wrote to the author
tiles in Rutland and received the reply
that no such college was in existence.

sUEING FOR $4,000.
from the Denison Paper Company's Fail
urS.

AUBURN, April IA hearing opened
today before the insolvency court on the
petition to have the proof of the debt of
Morey & Co., of Boston, against the
Denison Paper Manufacturing Company,
disallowed.
The case grows out of the failure of
the Denison Paper Manufacturing Com
pany at Mechanic Falls. In this case,
the petitioners, who represent also other
creditors not mentioned, are Charles L..
Milliken, W. & C. R. Milliken, Deeringg,
Milliken & Co., the Rumford Falls q
Buclfield Railroad Company, the Ma
tional Shoe and Leather Bank of Auburn
and the Poland Paper Company: The
defendants are Edwin Morey and Walter
G. and Charles E. Morey, doing busi-
ness under the firm name Of Morey& So.
The law provides, in insolvency pro-
ceedinps. that one creditor is entitled to
receive exactly the same percentage of
the assets as another. In this particular
case, however, it is claimed by the petit
tioning creditors that Morey & Co. re-
ceived from the Denison Manufacturing
Company in the neighborhood of $35, 900
that Should have included, by right,
in the insoIvent company's assets and di-
vided among the creditors. To get pos
session of this $50, 600 is in substance
the purport of the petition and hearing
The claim of the petitioners is that
Morey & Co are preferred creditors, and
therefore had no right to prove their
claim and participate in dividend, as
thew had not surrendered their prefer
ence to the assignees.
Morey & CO. claim that by an agree
ment in writing between themselves and
the assignees in regard to said prefer
the court, the matter was finally settled
and cannot be reopened by proceedings
of this kind.

was 81, 1856. The legislature has Re-
publican majority of IA on joint ballot not
counting the lieutenant governor, who
votes in the senate. The senate stands
90 Republicans and 10 Democrats, with
three to be chosen. The chosen
stands, 81 Republicans!and 10 Democrats,
with IS to be chosen. Two Democrats
and one Republican assembly1nen were
elected in this city, and another election
will have to be held for the remaining
two. Comstock, the Democratic candi-
date for senator in this city, only lacked
five of majority. By the official count
in Newport, two Democrats were elected.
Three members are yet to be chosen.
The Republicans made clean sweep in
Pawtucket, Lincoln and Cumberland.
Providence and Woonsocket gave Ward
well a majority for governor, and Woon-
socket returned a Democratic assembly
ticket. The Democrats gained an assem-
blyman in Foster, Situate, West Green
mock and Johnston, but the losses in the
supposed Democratic strongholds of
Newport, Pawtucket, Lincoln and Cum
berland accomplished the route. The
complexion of the legislature insures the
return of Senator Aldrich to the United
States Senate.
