washington, April 1.-THE Roach case
came prominently to the front today
in executive session in the senate and
was the cause of some rather plain
talk. 1t was declared by the democratic
leaders that If the Roach case was to
be gone into at this session, others
should be taken up as well.
The republicans retorted that they
were afraid of no investigation con-
cernHng any other members, but they
insisted that some positive action
should be taken in this particular case
After long discussion Of the two
views so vehemently adhered to by the
respective sides, the question was laid
aside without any definite action being
| taken.
The Martin case was given q share of
the debate and from the discussion that
ensued they will If possible refuse to
look into the question of the legality of
the seat now occupied by Martin.
The nomination of Eckles to be comp
troller of the currency was reported
favorably but confirmation did not fol-
low, it going over for the day under
the rules. there being objection TO its
present consideration. The objection
foun depression in some very caustic
remarks by republican senators in re-
gard to what they called lack of wis
dom manifested in the selection for so
important an Office of a man who by
their own admission knew absolutely
nothing of the business of banking.
There will be a special meeting of the
committee on privileges and elections
tomorrow, at which the Roach case
will be taken up and efforts made to
reach some concluson that will be sat
isfactory alike to the democrats and re-
publicans.
Senator German called upon the pres
ident today to discuss with him the
question Of the adjournment of the
present extraordinary session of the

1t jammed in the hole, the men had to
put fuse to it and burn it out. This
they did, and then before the hole was
sufficiently cooled from the last pow

occurred. Bartell's face was fearfully
burned, but the doctors say he will
