Cowen and Murray, of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, have consented to allow
the Baltimore 70 organization committee

accounts OF the company asmay be desired,
and to render such assistance as viii be
necessary to make a thorough examination
into the company's affairs covering the
years from 1888 to 1886.
In his letter TO the reorganization COM
mittee; Mr. Cowen states thut there has
never been any objection to the proposed
investigation, and that the committee
is at liberty to put its expert on the books
as soon as Mr.. Little, who is now making
an examination for the New York COM
mittec, completes his work. This, Mt.
Cowen SAYS, will be in Il few days.
The Baltimore committee has employed
Mr.. Little for the work, and he viii make
a thorough examination of the Baltimore
and Ohio proper, the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern, Pittsburg and Western,

INSERTED THE SPEECH.
Mr.. Platt Put Senator Proctor's Words
Into His Address.

Mr.. Platt Put Senator rProctOr's Words
Into bis Address.
Senator Platt late yesterday afternoon
succeeded in getting before the Senate and
into the Congressional Record Senator
Proctor's speech, to which objection had
been raised successfully the previous day.
The protest came from Senator Hill,
who insisted that he would not quietly see
,he bad precedent established that one
member should offer and have put in the
Record q speech written by another MEN,
her who wished to be absent. Every man
ought to make his own speech.
Mr.. Faulkner suggested that Mr.. Platt
might say few words introducing MIR.
Proctor's speech and then have it printed
in the Record. Mr.. Hill objected to this,
and with equal vigor opposed the sugges-
lion that Mr.. Platt might read the whole
speech, in which case. OF course, it would
appear.
Finally Mr.. Faulkner said there was no
rule to prevent Mr.. Platt from beginning
speech and Incorporating Mr.. Proctor's
written but undelivered speech as part OF
This. To this Mr.. Hill agreed, saying Mr..
Platt might put in a speech OF Daniel Web
ster's il he chose. But Mr.. Platt was worn
out by this time and yielded to motion to
adjourn.
Yesterday at $50 he began speech Of
his own upon the pending amendment fix
ing the number of battleships to be con-
structed. After speaking for five minutes
he unrolled the proof Of Mr.. Proctor's 8
speech and read 1t. The speech, as it ap-
pears in the Record, will carry great weight
as coming from an ex-secretary of War,
who has paid much attention to the prob
.em of the national armament.

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC or
