Grand Army Men Think Split May Re-

MILWAUKEE. Wis. May 25.-4rand
Army men are becoming very deeply
interested in the case OF Noah L. Farm
ham Post OF New York city, and mem.
beers of the order do not hesitate to say
that If COMMANDMENT chief Weissert's
action is continued it will result in a
split in the order. The Farnham Post
passed resolutions favoring such PEN
sion reform as would make the list of
pensioners roll of honor and not a re-
fuge for dishonest pensioners. For this
action the charter OF the post was taken
away by the department. commander.
This act was confirmed by Commander:
in chief Weissert in an order dated May
16, and not given to the pnblic until
recently.

and would soon blow over. Farnham
Post, Gen. Gray said, was OF very little
Importance and could not influence any
body. The post was never in sympathy
with the order on the pension question
or anything else, and the disbanding of
it would do no harm.
Other Grand Army men diff Of decid-
edly with Gen. Gray as to the effect of
the measures taken in regard to the New
York post in order to brighten any other
posts from opposing the so:called pen
sion abuses.
Col. j. A. Watrous said OF the revoca-
ton Of Franham Posts charter that it
was based on fimsy technicality, and
that so far from stopping anybody's
mouth would tend to intensity the feel
ing in favor of pension reform.

ROACH INVESTIGATION.
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLTCANS
LOCK HORNS on THE CASE.
The Question rs to Whether the Inquiry
Shall be Gone Into Discussed
In Executive Session.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April 1.-THE
Roach case came prominently TO the
front to-day in executive session Of the
Senate, and was the cause for some
rather plain talk from both sides of the
chamber. The Senate only went into Sc
cret session after a yea and nay vote,
in which it was developed that the Demo
Gratis had enough members present, add
ed to the Republicans, to make voting
quorum. AS soon as the doors were
closed the Republicans prOpOunded an
inquiry as TO what the other side meant
by refusing to permit the Committee on
Privileges and Elections to report the
resolution relative 10 the contest of Mr..
Martins seat by Mr.. Ady. a resolution
that had been agreed upon in the COM
mittee at the meeting Saturday; and,
further, why they had exhibited what
appeared to be bad faith in the Roach
resolution, a resolution which the Repub
lcans contended had been agreed TO by
the Democrats on the floor Of the Senate.
This at once precipitated a discussion in
which II was developed that the Demo
Gratis were opposed to taking up the
Roach case at this time. and wanted TO
postpone any further action until the
next session of Congress 1t was de-
clared by Democratic leaders, as had
been stated by them before. that If the
Roach case was to be gone into there
were others that should be taken up as
well. The Republicans retorted that they
were afraid of no investigation concern
ing of any Of their members, but they in
sisted that some positive action should
-, f.tx In
Democrats said they were willing the
resolution should be modified so as 10
instruct the committee 20 report whether
or not they had the authority 10 make
the Investigation concerning the previous
acts Of a Senator; but the Republicans
urged that this did not go far enough
and insisted that the committee should
be still further authorized to go ahead
and make the investigation II they found
they had such authority. 1t was this
counter proposition that the Democrats
opposed. and after a long discussion OF
the two views so vehemently adhered
TO by the respective sides the question
was laid aside without any definite ac-
tion being taken.
The Martin case was given its share Of
the debate, the Republicans contending
that the Committee on Privileges and
Elections should report the resolution
as adopted at its meeting, and that the
work contemplated under the resolution
should be prosecuted during the recess
of the Senate From the debate that en-
sued Republicans assert that they draw
the conclusion that the Democrats do
not intend to do anything in this case,
and will. If possible, refuse to look into
the question of the legality of the seat
now occupied by Mr.. Martin.
