mission, Generally Condemned.

mission. Generaliy COuQelnneus
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-The
disclosures with regard to the Bering
Sea Commission expenditures still con-
tinue to excite surprise. All the ar
rangements for the representation OF
this country at the conference were
made by Gen. Foster, and evidently
with the determination that its stall
should not lack the wealth with which
to make a display. Looking az II In
that light there are some people who
are willing to admit that the ex-Secre-
tary had the right idea,
but they think he carried II
to too great an extreme. For instance
they do not see why the paymaster OF
the commission, whose duties occupy no
more than ore or two days at the out
side in every month, should have been
allowed so large a sum for mis- expenses
over and above his per diem and army
salary. In fact they fail to see why a
paymsster was necessary at all, and his
duties could have been just as well per-
formed by one OF the clerks or even by
one OF the commissioners.
Members of the House OF Representa-
tives who are in the city are outspoken
in their protests against the extraya-
RANGES which the investigation Of Sec
rstaries Gresham and Carlisle have dis
closed.
There is talk OF introducing a resolu-
tIon in the House for an investigation.
The procedure is discouraged by some,
who say that it is wholly unnecessary.
In view OF the fact that the two secre-
taries are doing all the investigating
that is necessary, and that when they
reach conclusion, they may be relied
upon to act quite as vigorously and
fearlessy as any Senate committee.
Moreover, there is a widespread feeling
of confidence In Secretary Gresham's
ability to get at the bottom OF compli-
cation Of this kind.
