DOCUMENTS SAID TO
HAVE BEEN FORGED
Startling Discovery Made in the House
Military Committee.

a startling discovery has been made IN
the House Committee on Military Affairs
in connection with the bill introduced by
Senator Hanna to correct the military
record of Harrison Wagner, so that he
may be shown to have been an assistant
surgeon, Instead of q nurse.
IN support Of his contention before the
House Committee number OF printed Of
fetal documents were adduced- One was
a copy of a bill originally introduced by
Senator Hama. The other was q favor
able report from the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs. presented by Senator
SeweII A third was q copy of the bill,
with its passage on February q. 1891 at
tested by Senate Clerk Charles G. Ben
nett
It has been learned that no such bill
passed the Senate, and that no such ia
vorabIe report was ever made The docu-
ments puTpoTting to show these facts
were limitations.
Wagner was formerly a resident Of
MARYLAND. but Of late years has lived in
Ohio. He has been the beneficiary of
several pension laws passed by Con
gress. which have brought his pension
from SO to $40 month.
The Hanna bill will be adversely re-
ported to the House by Representative
Parker who in his report will make
statement embodying the facts OF the
case.

sary in the early days when it required
months to obtain the election returns and
months 10 journey from one end Of the

thirteen months after its election before
it assembled to carry out the wishes Of
the people.
Five Points Discussed.
Mr.. Shafroth advanced five specific
arguments in behalf Of his proposition
He declared that inasmuch as it was pro

amendment ought TO be framed SO as TO
produce some beneficial results.
