AMERICAN ACOUIEsCENcE.
Congress Will Enter Upon an Inter-
eSfinp InyeSfigafinn

New YORK, Jan. 19-ln reference to the
American end of the Panama canal scan
dal. the Washington correspondent of the
World says: Congress is going to find out
how the Panama millions sent to this country
to secure American acouiescence" in the
canal project were distributed.
Congressman Fellows is pressing the reso-
luton for an investigation. and is con-
vinced that the first step in the gigantic
steal was taken on this side Of the Atlantic
and that Americans shared in the fraud.
American acquiescence. he says, Twas
accomplished by bribery in securing con-
troll of the American railroad across the
isthmus.
The majority of the stock was bought at
the market price and turned over to the
French company at big margin OF increase
which was divided among the American
manipulators and the head conspirators in
France"
Colonel Fellows believes that the French
Government will assist the United States In
discovering the names of the Americans in
volved. and that Congressional action
should not be delayed
Speaking on the subject Colonel Fellows
said; Had the Panama fraud escaped de-
lection, 1t is impossible to say what ser-
Gus effect upon the country's commerce
would have been caused by the fact that n
foreign power had control of the isthmus. Z"
Before the French Government threw a
searchlght on the great fraud arrange
ments had already been made to operate a
line of steamships on the Pacific In
opposition to the American line.
The American line WAS established
on the assurance that this Govern
ment would demand the full acknowl-
edgment OF its privileges under the New
Granada treaty, but having absorbed the
control OF the railroad the French company
thought there would be no opposition to
further encroa chment on our rights at the
isthmus.
Il understand that II is still the intention
of the French company to establish Pa
clfic line oil steamers and Congress should
take steps at once to find out just what
rights this Government and its citizens
have under the treaty"

HIS WILL is LAW.
Senators Ready to Stand
by Cleveland.
HE is NO FRIEND TO. SILVER.
And He Has Had a Canvass Made
Which Shows the Senate to Be
With Him on the Question.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-Careful investi-
CATION has been made by one of the anti
silver Senators, who has been taken good
deal into the confidence of the incoming ad-
ministraiion, which indicates that there will
be a majority of at least five in the Senate
in favor of the suspension OF the present
law compelling monthly purchases OF 1900
COO ounces of silver.
This Senator has been conservative In his
estimates for the reason that his inquiry
into the ma tier was at least suggested If not
actually asked for by Presdsnt-elect Cleve-
land. There are twelve Democratic Sena-
tors, he finds, who may be relied upon TO
support what is known to be Mr.. Cleveland's
strong desire. These gentlemen are: Sena-
tors Blodgett, Brice. Carlisle. Caffery. Cor
man, Gibson, Gray, Hill, Mcpherson, Villas,
Palmer and White.
While The Stewart bill was under consid-
Grafton in the Senate at the last session
Messrs. BOdgett and Hull voted for the
measure and with the free-silyer men. Mr..
Hill has. however at the present session
shown a change of sentiment upon this
question by introducing bill 10 repeal the
silver purchasing clause OF the present
Sherman law. He can, therefore. be counted
upon to support the proposition. Mr.. Blod-
gett Is also understood to be ready and
willing TO vote to suspend purchases. Mr..
Caffery, the new Senator for Louisiana, has
not yet had an opportunity 10 state his
views on the matter, but he has always
hitherto In his State been an anti-free
coinage man. He will vote with Messrs.
Mcpherson and Carlisle on silver matters.

STATE MONEY GONE.
Startling Discrepancies Shown to
Exist in Illinois.
The New Administration of Public
Affairs Going About Its Work
in a Thorough Way.
Special TO THE MoRN1Ne CALL.

Springfield. H., Jan.19-The first act of
the Democratic Attorney General of Illinois
has been 10 draw UP legal document max
ing formal demand upon the Republican
Auditor Of Public Accounts, Pavey, for the
eashbooks and records of disbursements in
the insurance department of the Auditors S
Office. During the months preceding the
late election 1t was 4 common assertion by
Democratic orators through the State that
an examination of the Auditors office
would develop grave Irregularities. and
perhaps 1t is the remembrance of these
charges which tonight gives 80 much
credence to the astounding assertions that
between the amounts collected In the insur-
ance department and the amounts paid
into the State Treasury there would
be found unaceounted for the start
ling discrepancy Of from $4,000 to
Sl6000 per annnm, reaching back, perhaps,
to 1876. Il is asserted that the new Au-
ditor, Gore. made the discovery that the
books showing the expenditures in the in
surance department Of the Auditors Office
had been taken away, and that a search de-
veloped the fact that similar records extend
ing as far back as 1876 were gone.
The Associated Press correspondent to-
night secured a wire TO Mount Vernon and
had a talk with ex-Auditor Pavey Reply
ing to questions he said that he had turned
over all the public records to his successor.
The cashbooks aud bankbooks retained he
regarded as MS private property. When
told about the assertion that a discrepancy
of SIC, 900 to $4,000 per annum would be
found to exist in the Office accounts
Pavsy said there was no occasion for any
such statement. and that he would start for
Springfield tonight The receipts. he said,
would show the disposition Of all funGS
received.
Attorney-Genersl Molonsy. when told Of
Pavey's assertions about the books, said
that If they were purchased by the insur-
ance fund and used in the insurance depart
meRt they were the property of the State.
and if so he would take legal measures TO
force Payey to turn them over.
