There Is an Angry Clash in the Senate In
voIvinE Senator Hill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18-There was
sharp controversy in the senate today
over the PETER resolution to investigate
the recent bond issues.
Mr.. Lodge, (Rep. Mass.,) moved an
amendment to have the committee on
finance to make the investigation
Mr.. Hill, (Dem. n. " opposed the
resolution. declaring that the senate
should not dignity vague rumors by in
vestigation, as it had doRe the charges
that senators specu1ated il sugar stocks.
When Mr.. Hin said that no charges
had been made against the president or
secretary of the treasury, Mr. Stewart
Pop. New said that he would
make charges. There was an angry
passage between MIR Hill and Mr.
TIllman, Dem. S. c. because MIR. Hill
refused to be interrupted. The latter
accused Mr.. Hill of talking against time
to kill the resolution.
As no action was taken upon it at 2
o'clock, under the rules, it went to the
bottom of the calendar.

the Waller Case.
From the State Journals Special Cores pondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Paul Bray,
the stepson of John L Waller, Is very
much incensed as to the way the state
department dealt with his fathers case.
He SAYS. however, that the best thing
which Waller can do is simply to accept
his release now and take other steps af-
terward if it appears they will do any
good
Bray was especially indignant over
the statements that Waller was not
cruelty treated on shipboard and the
suspicion which was cast on Waller in
reference to the Crockett estate by Sec
retary Olney's report
Bray Gays he has letters and other evil
dence to show that Consul Wetter perse-
cuted Waller and continually treated
him with indignity and injustice, and
that he is going to publish these facts
on Wetter as soon as he can get them IN
shape.
"The report alluded to the fact that L
did not testify to Walters cruel treat
ment on shipboard,' said Bray to the
JOURNAL correspondent. Il did not put
that in my affidavit because l did not
want to swear to something which my
self did not see. They would not allow
me to see him, they kept him chained
below deck. but there we're passengers
on ship who told me of the way he was
abused and l know it from them"

Senator PETERS Efforts to Get at the Bot
tom Facts.
From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S-The resoIu-
ton offered by Senator PETER in the SEN
ate Wednesday calling for a com plete
investigation of every detail in connec-
ton with the sale of bonds during this
administration, is very sweeping in its
provisions. If the resolution should be
adopted and its every provision complied
with the country would be given the
truth in regard to the transactions which
they cannot now help but view with sus-
picion and distrust.
Speaking of his resolution to the JOUR-
NAL correspondent Senator PETER said
he had not the least doubt hut that an
investigation prosecuted in the right
spirit would show that there was truth
in the accusations of collusion and con-
nivance which have been so freely made
against officials of the government dur
ing some of the bond transactions. He
wants the matter Investigated in a thor
ough and sweeping manner.
Following is the full text of the reso-
luton; it leaves nothing untouched which
could bear on the necessity OF more
bonds or that would aid in revealing
skulduGgery:
"Resolved, That a committee of five
senators, not more than two of whom
shall belong to one political party. shall
be appointed by the vice president, whose
duty it shall be-
"To investigate and report generally
all material facts and circumstances con-
nected with the sale of United States
bonds by the secretary of the treasury

CUT AT THE OFFICES.
Eight Employees at the Santa Fe Audi
tors Office Dismissed.

The first cut of any consequence in
the working force at the Santa Fe gen
eral Offices in this city has been ordered.
Last evening eight employees in the audi
tor of freight receipts office received
notice that their services would not be
needed after March l.
The cut is in reality in the work and
not in the working force. A portion of
the statistical Work in the matter of
freight records is to be abolished This
cut in statistical work will not affect
the records complied for the Interstate
Commerce Commission or the board of
railroad commissioners, but only those
who have been prepared heretofore for

dent Ripley decided that these records
could be dispensed with and a saving of
$500 per month made.

WANTED PEFFEK TO GO.

Was Invited to Take Part in Congress
man Grains Funeral Junleet
From the State Journals Special Corresponds
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 1S-Amusing Incl
dents sometimes occur in connection
with funerals, aud one of these in which
Senator PETER figured, happened in con-
nection with the death of Repres enta-
tive Grain of Texas. The Texas delega-
ton had charge of the funeral arrange
ments of their deceased memb ber. and
when it came to the selection of the COM
mittee from each house to accompany
the remains to Mr.. Grains home in Tex
as, Senator Mills came to Senator PETER
and asked him TO be a member Of the
senate committee.
This was evidently done by Senator
Mills because of Senator PETERS agita-
ton of the congressional funerals ques-
tion, and he thought it would be a good
joke to get Senator PETER on the COM
mittee.
Whether it was really intended to use
the death of an associate TO perpetrate u
Joke, or whether it was the purpose to
nave Senator PETER along and thereby,
on account of his criticisms of extcava-
gance aud unseemly conduct on these
occasions in the past, prevent their re-
currence, cannot of course be said with
certainty, but at any rate Senator PETER
refused to be drawn in.
Senator Mills would not take one re-
fusal, but insisted that Senator PETER go.
The latter was firm, however.

ONE OF SYDNEY SMITHS JOKES.
The Son Was n Sport, but the Father
Took Him Down.

The Son Was Sport but the Father
Took Him Down.
The famous Sydney Smith had son
who was interested in horses, dogs and
sport He was a laxative young man
and an agreeable companion for those
who had tastes similar to his own, but
he was out Of place at his fathers table
when distinguished prelates and digni-
teries of the church were present. When
the father was entertaining guests Of
this class, he seldom allowed the young
man to be present.
One night there was to be dinner,
to which the bishop Of London and 9TH
er clergymen of high rank had been
invited. The son begged to have the
privilege Of q place at the table, re-
marking that he seldom was favored
with the chance of making the acquaint-
ance of the gr~,t clergy.
His father in reply said that the COM
pany would not be interested in stories
about horses, dogs, racing and such
matters, and that he feared his son
would be unable to adapt his converse
tion to their tastes The young man
promised not to talk, but to listen, and
was given permission to be present at
the dinner.
He was as good as his word until the
company were, nearly through dinner,
when there was an awkward pause in
which no one seemed ready to start q
fresh subject. In this crisis the son
abruptly turned to the bishop and aston
ished the company by asking.
els your lordship able to tell me what
was the condition of Nebuchadnezzar
when he came off the grass?''
Sydney Smith, sitting at the head Of
the table, was Mortified by this familiar
application Of sporting phrases to an in
cident of religious history, and quickly
changed the subject, after remarking
grirnly to the bishop:
81 have always told my friends that
my son possessed what might properly
be called a stable mind"
The company laughed over the pun,
and the young man, after turning red
in the face, relapsed into silence, and
made no further attempt to adapt his
special knowledge Of horses aud racing
stock to the entertainment of clerical
society. The scene between father and
son on the following morning is not re-
corded, but the father evidently enjoyed
the joke, and frequently told the Incl
dent to his intimate friends. Youths
