INVESTIGATION BEGUN
MT. Watson Given a Chance to
 Prove His Statements.
HE SAYS IT WILL BE AN EASY JOB.

Extracts from His Book, the Final Chap
 ter Of Which Contains the Paragraphs to
 Which General Wheeler Took Excep-
 tiOn--Work OT the Committee.
 WASHINGTON, July 30-The book con taining the language which gave rise to the exciting scenes on the floor of the House yesterday is No. of a series to be issued by the National Watchman Com pany, publishers of the Peoples party or gan, and entitled "Not a revolt; it is a revolution" Representative Watson is the author, and in the preface says he has ''tried to make it an armory from which Peoples party champions can draw every weapon of offense and defense"
 It Is a political history largely and the paragraphs of which Gen. Wheeler com plained, and the truth of which Mir. Wat, son has undertaken to establish are con- tained in the final chapter.
 The writer, writing of the failure of the old parties to respond to the demands of the people, says:
 'The Congress now sitting is one illus tration. Pledged to reform, they have not reformed. Pledged to economy, they have not economized. Pledged to legis-
 
 gance has been the order of the day. Alb senteeism was never so pronounced. Lack ofpurpose was never so clear. Lack of business prudence never so glaring. Drunken members have debated grave is sues on the floor, and in the midst of maudlin ramblings have been heard to ask: MT. Speaker, where was at? Use- less employees crowd every corridor, use- less expenditures pervade every depart ment."
 The meeting of the special commit tee appointed to investigate the charges of drunkenness of members made by Mr. Watson, of Georgia, in hls book, was held in the evening. The full committee, con sisting of Messrs. Boatner, Wolverton, Buchanan Va.), Grout and Simpson (F. Al, was present. After preliminary statements us to the scope of the investi- gation the chairman, Mir. Boatner, asked MT. Watson if he had list of witnesses who could be summoned to testify as to the charges. Mir. Watson stated that he had, and that he did not believe the in vestigation would occupy much time.
 He expected to prove the statements made exclusively and in short order A discussion ensued as to summoning J. $. Turner of St. Louis, a witness, aud it was finally concluded that he should appear. MT. Watson stated that he did not shirk an investigation. If he transgressed the limits of a reasonable length of time in the investigation, the Committee could call him to order.
 The Chairman said 1t was the desire of the Committee to conclude the investiga- tion as speedily as possible and make d report at this session. MT. Watson fur nished the following names as witnesses: Congressmen Skell, Butler, Davis, Otis, (kansas), McKeighan, Halvorsen, Simp- son, White, Logan. Miss A. B. Dwyer, J. II, Turner, Mr, Baker and A. C. Saffell. The examination will be proceeded with as rapidly as possible.

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

Terrence COyle's Vigorous Speech in
 Behalf of Waterbury.
 The democratic congressional com mittee of the Second district met in New Haven yesterday and voted to hold the convention in New Haven on September 21 at Il a. m.
 The committee was composed of the following named: James c. Roach, Wallingford, chairman; James w. Kelley, Milford; William Jamieson, Middletown; w. A. Andrews, Cheshire, and Terrence Coyle of Waterbury proxy for James A. Hynes.
 MT Coyle was the first speaker and he put forth the claims of this city in a vigorous manner. Among other things he said: ''The democratic party has always looked to Waterbury for big majorities, yet it has not for years given us anything in return, not even a convention. New Haven has had gov ernor after governor, and many other conventions. The coming congressman is also sure to be a New Haven man But Waterbury, a city that is propor- tionately as strongly democratic as New Haven, IS left out in the cold. We are considered of no consequence except on election day. Now I understand that there is movement on foot to freeze us out again by holding the congressional convention in New Haven. Gentlemen, if you want Waterbury to poll it's usual democratic majority, give us the con- gressional convention. Hold the con- yention in Waterbury and we will en- dorse MT Pigott and roll up such a ma jority that he W ill surely be elected"
 MT Andrews of Cheshire endorsed MI Coyles remarks as far as holding the convention in Waterbury was con. cerned, but he wished it understood that he should work and vote for the demo- cratic candidate, no matter who he was or where he was nominated.
 Mir Kelly of Milford made motion that the convention be held in Turn hall, New Haven, September IA at II a. m. Mir Jamieson offered an amend. ment to substitute September 21 as the date.
 Chairman Roach, before calling for a vote, remarked that he favored New Haven as the place for holding the con- vention, because it was more centrally located than Waterbury. If the con- vention wa held in the last named city it would mean a two days journey for some of the Middlesex county delegates on account of inadequate railroad facil- ities.
 The vote was then called on MT Ja- mieson's amendment and 1t was adopted by a vote of 3 to ?, Messrs Roach, Kelly and Jamieson voting in the affirmative and Messrs Andrews and COyle in the negative.
 MT Coyle's speech was the only one made wherein any feeling was mani fested. The others were brief and more in the form of motions than anything else.

ENGLAND IS AFTER II
Johnston Island Claimed By
 American Citizens.
A COMMANDING NAVAL STATION
Ono of Great Britain's War Ships is Now on the Way to the Island for the Pur- pose. 1t is Said, of seizing It-washing- ton Officials Alert.

SAN FRANCISCO July 30.-The depart ure from Honolulu of the British cruiser Champion to seize Johnston Island has occasioned interest in San Francisco, where the Americans who claim it's own srship belong. That it is an American possession which the Champion is about to take possession of there can be no doubt. A Washington dispatch says that the State Department has gathered clear proof of American title to the island which the British now wish to grab and use as a relay station for their proposed cable from Honolulu to New Zealand.
 Capt Roberts, of this city, who is one Of the present owners, says that there is no question of the American title to the island. Fully $50, 900 had been expended on the island. He and his partner, May CTS, had sent a sloop and bark down there, but of late had not done anything, as the guano was not first class.
 "The island," said Capt. Roberts, 'lies in the rainy belt, and the richer portion of the guano deposit is washed to the sea- York, but the charterer of the ship lost $S0,O 0,O0O. The island would be valuable to the United States for many purposes, and would be just as important to England. It lies just south of the direct route to China, and is on the proposed route of the English cable from New Zealaud to Hon olulu.
 ''In case of war the Hawaiian Islands and the Samoan Islands would be neu- tral, but Johnston Island is in an impor- tant position, and could be used as sta tion by the Government in possession There is excellent anchorage there, all though about $1O,000 worth of dynamite would be needed to blow up some of the coral to widen the mouth of the harbor. M"The island is about six feet above water on the right side of the harbor, and vessels can lie right alongside without any wharf. In troublesome times the isl and would be worth great deal to this country. No other island as suitable for station could be purchased for $500, 900. There can be no doubt about the island being the property of Americans. May CTS and myself have the original papers of Parker, and his deed to us. We also have an affidavit sworn to by him before Chee- yer, then Clerk of the United States Dis trict Court, in which he states that he discovered Johnston Island, and never transferred his interest to any corpora tion."

THE RIFLES HIDDEN.
Departure of Troops from Idaho Fenre,
 By Citizens.

C1L1ZenSs
 WARDNER, Idaho, July 30.-Of the 200 or more rifles known to have been in the hands of the rioters on the 18th inst, not single one has been found, though a thorough search has been made. The gen eral belief is that they were taken into Montana upon the advent of the troops. This fact more than any other causes the law-abiding citizens to dread the depar- ture of the troops.
 Peter Breen, citizen of Montana and a member of the Legislature of that State. and who was prime mover in the recent trouble, is still at large.
 A new plan of legal procedure against the prisoners is to commence at Wallace. United States Commissioner Hoffman of Occur dAlene will open court there and issue warrants of arrest as the cases are brought before him.
 The report that the United States have decided the union a conspiracy is given color by this move of the authorities The charge of conspiracy will be entered against all union men, and separate charge will be entered against those charged with complicity in the Mission affair.

 MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 30.-The action of Judge Howell E. Jackson, of the United States Court, in refusing writ of habeas corpus in the Col H. Clay King case, has had @ very depressing effect upon the prisoner and it is feared that his mind is giving way.
 He acts strangely and imagines that he is being constantly watched by detectives and others. The only hope now is in ap- plication to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of error and accompany ing stay or an appeal to the executive clemency of Gov. Buchanan, who is being flooded with long petitions appealing for mercy, and others protesting against ex- ecutive interference with the course of justice
