ate. The Republicans have determined to
press the investigation into the life of
Roach, and there were published state
ments yesterday that it was the intention
of the Democratic senator's, if this investi-
cation was gone into. to open wide the
doors and have q general investigation of
senatorial character.
German Makes q Dark Insinnation.
In this connection there was published
statements regarding Senator Power and
made by Turpie, of Indiana, at the time of
the contest over the seat held by Power.
Turpie's remarks were very bitter and as
cribed personal rascality of the worst kind
to Power. No action was taken on the de-
mand of the Montana senator, German,
asking that it go over and intimating that
if the senate wished to go into the investi-
CATION of transactions which had occurred
prior to the election of senators, the in
vestigation would have to take in several
of the senator's on the Republican side of
the chamber.
Vest Gives His View of Matters.
Powers said that Turpie's remarks re-
garding him were unbecoming senator
unless susceptible of proof. Vest said that
if the senate was going to investigate every
charge in the public press the senate might
as we'll abandon all other business and go
into investigations exclusively. There was
not a senator who had not been Hbeled. AS
the senator from Ohio (Sherman) had once
said on a similar occasion the courts were
open and a senator was like any private
citizen.
Will he No Investigation.
A prominent Democratic senator Is
authority for the statement that there will
be no investigation of senators as proposed.
He intimated that the Democrats would
vote down the resolution proposing an in
vestigation of Senator Roach.

ANOTHER MONTE CARLO.

Liberal Offer from Gamblers for the Privi-
lege of Establishing a Casino at Mondorf
Special TO the Indian polis Journal
LONDON, March 25-The plan to estab-
lish another Monte Carlo on the ontinent
has so far matured that deputation from
the Monte Carlo Stock Company is now in
Luxembourg trying to secure the Grand
Dukes approval of the details Mondorf Is
the Luxembourg resort upon which the CON-
paby has its eyes. IL the grand ducal gov
eminent will allow it to build and con-
duct a gambling casino at that place
the company Will contract TO pay nil the
state expenditures and thus relieve the in
habitants of all taxation. This anxiety
shows the enormous profits of the gam bling
business in Monaco the price paid for
the privilege of conducting the gambling
casino ia hardly half that now offered TO
the Luxembourg government. The reason
for the apparent generosity of the depu-
ta.ion in negotiation with the Grand
Duke is that the company cacu-
lates upon an annual income at Mon
dorf of 32.0O0.000 francs. against some
2sOO0OO0 francs received above all ex-
penses at Monte Carlo. The Grand Duke
is agreeable to the plan proposed by the
deputation. and his ubiects are more than
anxious that il be accepted. in view of the
promised relief from taxation and the i'm
mense business which the influx of tourists
would bring TO the duchy. The Eyschen
Ministry. however,. Is opposed to the plan.

in New York city. of Col Elliott F. Shepard
was sad news to number of persons in

ices there. and dropped twenty
dollar bill on the contribution plate.
After the morning service he was greeted
by the fastor, then Rev. Barr, and intro
duced himself. The minister invited him
10 his house and Mr.. Shepard went there
dnriDG the afternoon. and at night. when
he was leaving. he handed the minis
ter no Letter no with request that

contained check for $500. signed by FL
