tive Lentz probably will fail In his efforts
to have the House of Representatives di-
rect the special committee investigating
the Roberts case to inquire into the
charges of polygamy against Postmaster
Graham at Provo and Postmaster
Smith at Logan. Members of this
committee with whom 1 talked take
the ground that they have enough
work before them in the Roberts in
quiry. and that II any investigation is to
be made In the charges against the Post
masters 1t should be made by the Post
ofiice Department rather than by q Con-
gressional committee.
In the absence OF Chairman Tayler from
Washington there was no meeting of the
Roberts Committee to-day. but members
of the committee discussed among them
selves the question whether II wouId ha
necessary for them to go to Utah to con.
duct the investigation. The reasons for
going to the neighborhood where ali the
witnesses live are so strong that IL is
probable that when the COMMITTEES me.ts

WASHINGTON, Dec. I1.-Representa-

the privilege OF shipping merchandise In
bond across the country without refer

Payne says the effect Of this has been
70 cut off transcontinental traffic in
goods destined for remote points in Asia
and elsewhere, which traffic was taken by
the Canadian railroads. His bill seeks TO
open the privileges to all countries alike,
on the same terms that Canada and Mex

distinctly favorable to American trans
portation interests.

Washington at pittsbure.

Chicago, May 2s-ESpeciall all.-After hav-
ing almost given up the game for lost to-
day, the Senators braced up in the ninth
inning and batted out three runs, just
enough to win the game. The score when
the end came was to B. The ground was
muddy, but in spite of this both teams
played brilliant ball. Weyhing twirled
for the Senators, and had the Chicagos
well in hand all through the game, with
the exception of the sixth inning, when
they landed on him for several hits. Phyle
for the Chicagos, pitched good game.
Both sides failed to score in the first,
but in the second the Senators opened up
on Phyle Mcguire singled to Lange, and
Freeman's high bounder escaped Wolver-
ton, who slipped in the mud and let it
roll safe. Padden then sacrificed, Wey-
hing hit to Everitt, and Mcclure was

and attempted to tally with Freeman on
O'Brien's hit to centre, but was caught
at the plate by Lange's throw. In the
third, Slagle and Mercer hunted safely,
filling the bases, but Freeman hit to Ever
lit and retired the side. Both pitchers
then settled down, hit being sandwiched
in here and there, the men only TO be left
on the bases, and from then on till the
sixth neither side could score.
In the sixth round Green was caught of
third base by McGuire's quick snap throw
TO Mercer. Wolverton hunted, Lange drew
a base, and started to steal, when Weyhing
fired the ball to Cassidy, who dropped it.
A minute later Lange was caught mapping
OFF second base and again escaped through
an error. Everitt singled passed to sec
ond on the throw, and came nome on De-
Mont's hit, and the ChicaS33 forged ahead
Mccormick then singled and .ook second
on 0'Briens throw TO catch DeMont.
Chance hit to Mercer, and was thrown
out at first.
In the seventh Umpire Warner made n
bad decision against the Senators. VOL

fumbled for moment, but recovering

called him safe. Langa hit to Padden,
forcing Wolyerton, but Bonner dropped
the ball. Everitt's bounder went to Bon
