WANT GLOUCESTER AT ST. LOUIS.
Exposition Authorities May Ask the
Navy Department.

Special Dispatch 70 The Evening Star.
ST. LOUIS, December lit is understood
here that the exposition authorities will
ask the War Department to have the U. S.
S. Gloucester stationed at this port while
the Louisiana purchase exposition is in pro-
gress next year.
The Gloucester was formerly ]. Pierpont
Morgan's yacht Corsair. AT the breaking
out of the Spanish-American war the Cor
sair was purchased by the government and
converted into a gun boat. Captain VAIN
wright commanded the vessel during the
Spanish American war.
The Gloucester, which carries ten guns
and secondary battery, is of steel. The
vessel is at present in South American
waters. The shallowness of the Mississippi
river at certain times of the year makes it
impossible for the larger vessels of the
navy TO reach st. Louis.

Believes It Would Be Disastrous to

mittee on post offices and post roads, to-
day introduced a resolution authorizing that
committee to request the Postmaster Gen
eral to send to the committee all the papers
connected with the recent investigation
of the Post Office Department, and, if
necessary. the committeeis Is to make, further
investigation and to report to the Senate.
The resolution, without action, was re-
ferred to the committeelon contingent ex-
penses of the Senate.
The reference was necessary under the
rules of the Senate.
The Resolution.
Following is the text Of the resolution:
THAT the committee on post offices and
pest roads in view of the charges of cor
ruption, extravaganza and violations of law
in the administration of the affairs of the
Post Office Department, is hereby author
lied and instructed to request the Post
master General to send to the committee
all papers connected with the recent in
vestigatiOn of his department, and, If
necessary, to make further inquiry into
the administration of the said department
and to make report thereon to Congress
upon completion of said investigation.
Said committee shall have power to send
for persons, books and papers, examine wit
nesses under oath, employ a stenOgrapher
and sit by subcommittee or otherwise dur
ing the sessions Of the Senate or during the
periods of its adjournment at such times
and places as the committee may deter
mine, ard the actual and necessary ex-
penses of said investigation tshall be paid
out of the contingent fNld of the Senate
upon vouchers approved by the chairman
Of the committee"
There can be no report of the resolution
before Friday, to which day the Senate
adjourned, and it is not likely that any
active work of carrying OF the inveStiga-
ton will be begun until after the meeting
of the regular session of Congress.
The Presidents Attitude.
To. those who have talked with the
President on the subject he has indicated
that congressional investigation of the
post office scandals would be disastrous
to the prosecution of cases now pending
in the courts and has. expressed the hope
that an investigations would be delayed
until the government had opportunity to
make use Of the Information and wit
nesses it has spent so@muehs time and
trouble in obtaining. Attorney General
Knox and Special Attorneys Conrad and
Bonaparte conferred a number of weeks
ago regarding the dangers of an early
congressional investigation, and they
have urged the postponenent Of public
would reveal the hand of the govern
ment
1t is considered probable that the re-
publican leaders of the House will be
able to stave off an investigation for
some time. How long they will prevent
action in this direction they have not de-
cided, but majority of the prominent
republicans of the House have decided
that an investigation now would be in
furious to government interests.
