the prosecution would get through with its
case by the end Of the present week.
Three witnesses gave important testi-

Morris Hartmann, member of the firm
in Newark for which Mr.. Molineux was
superintendent, said that the firm of Nor

as Superintendent, and 1t was upon the

as his opinion that the letters signed Bar

handwriting were written by the same
person. He also said 1t was his opinion
that the admitted handwritings and dis

observed by the Democrats OF Peoria with
an elaborate banquet and numerous
speeches at the National hotel. There were
300 guests. Former Gov. Horace Boies, of

Democrats"
Mr. Boies urged that the doctrine of free

said that the defeat of '96 was brought
about by nothing else than the declaration
In favor of the free and unlimited COIN

continued:
"I suggest as means by which defeat
might be averted, manly return to the
position of the party in 1892, strengthened,
as 1t must be. to meet present conditions
by the suggestion Of some definite plan that
the people can see will actually establish
a bimetallic basis for our financial system"

IN THE HOUSE.
Ordered Into the
Occur d,Alene Matter and OF
Utah Postmasters.


Utah Postmaste
WARRINGTON. Jan. s.-The house to-
day ordered two Investigations as result
Of resolutions introduced by Representa-
tive L,entz of Ohio. The first is to be an
investigation by the committee on post
offices and post roads into the charge that
two Federal appointees of the president
John c. Graham, Of Provo City Utah, and
Postmaster Orson Smith, Of Logan, Utah,
are under Indictment as poiygamists. and
whether affidavits to that effect were on
file at the time of their appointment.
The other is a general investigation of
the military committee into the conduct
Of Gen. Merriam and. the United States
army officers during the Wardner, Idaho,
riots, and subsequent thereto.
After the reading of the Journal today
Dalxell, from the committee on rules, re-
ported back the resolution introduced last
week by Lentz, of Ohio, for an investiga-
ton by the committee appointed to inves-
tigatc the case Of Representative-elect
Roberts. of the charges that John G. Ora
ham, postmaster Of Provo, Utah. and An
derson Smith, postmaster of Logan. Utah,
were guilty of polygamous practices, with
the Recommendation that 1t pass. amended
so as to provide that the Investigation shall
be made by the committee on postoffices
and post roads instead of by the special
committee.
Wheeler remarked that in his opinion
the resolution for an investigation was
pure piece of political buncombe. 1.-THE
president has full power in the premises"
said Wheeler. "and there Is no necessity
for congressional Investigation"
The resolution was passed without a d.
vision.
Grosvenor then reported back from the
committee on rules another resolution IN
troduced by Lentz for an investigation by
special committee of the action of Gen.
Merriam and the military in the Ward
Idaho mining riots and their cause In pre-
venting the employment of union miners,
with the recommendation that 1t be amend
ed so as to provide that the investigation
shall be made by the military committee
of the house instead of a special commit
tee. The resolution as amended was adopt-
ed without division.
Thursday next, after II o'clock. was set
apart for eulogies upon the late Repre-
sentative Danford, of Ohio; Wednesday for
eulogies upon the late Representative
Greene, of Nebraska, and Friday, after 2
p. M, on the life and public service of the
late Vice President Hobart. Then at 1890
p. m. the house adjourned until Wednes-
day.

Discussion Of Pension Question.
A bill amending the dependant act Of
June "a, 1890. was called up and explained
BY Gallinser Of New Hampshire. The two
amendments proposed by the bill were that
widows who have an income Of $3.50 in ex-
cess OF daily wages should be pension
able under the act. and authorizing the
commissioner of pensions to segregats the
disabilities Of an applicant in fixing his
perisionable status.
In the course Of protracted discussion
Of the general pension question. discus
sion which took q wide range, Teller Of
Colorado said he was not appalled, by tho
fact that $fA0.00o.0o0 annually was paid by
the government to pensioners. He was
certain that more men were or the PEN
sion rolls who ought to be on than were
on and ought to be OF.
The bill was amended 30 as to provide
that in case the widow should have ire
sources" instead Of an Income" from
which $3.50 In year is derived or deriv-
able she should be pensionable, and fur
Their. that the bill does not apply to wid-
ows who have married former soldiers
since June "a, 1890. The bill as amended
was passed.
A bill was also passed providing that .
widows pension shall commence with the
application, and not at the date of the
soldiers death, and constituting section Of
the dependent pension act.
At 3:55 p. m. the senate went into ex-
ecutive session, and at S o'clock adj
journed.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 8-The Machias
has been ordered from San Juan to Santo
Domingo. She left that place q few days
ago to secure coal al San Juan and 1t 10
to protect American interests In case any
trouble follows the attempt Of the French
naval commander at Santo Domingo to
enforce the settlement Of the pending
French claim OF $4,000
1t Is not believed that there IL any chance
OF any conflict between the French and
American naval officers In the execution
of their Instructions but apparently the
believes that in the interest Of peace there
should be q larger naval force than one
vessel there during this exciting time.
The news that success has attended a
popular subscription to raise the $4,000 to
pay the claim is also regarded as tending to
avert danger OF the adoption of forcible
measures by the French warship's COM
mander.
