Objects to Papers.
After Mr.. Heath had identified the
orders and his signature. Mr.. Douglass
argued against their introduction as evil
dence. The introduction of so many
papers was for the purpose of confusing
the jury and the prosecution was trying
the case backwards. Evidence of al
legged overt acts was being offered be-
fore there had been offered evidence of
the conspiracy. Another ground OF OBJ
lection was that there was no proof
Machen had anything 10 do with the
papers. He was at the head of big
Office and signed letters without know
ing their contents.
Hundreds OF letters went out of his
office each day. and 1t would do him
an irreparable injury to admit the evil
dence at this time.
Mr. Maddox seconded Mr.. Douglass
in demanding that the Government first
show some evidence OF a conspiracy.
Mir. Kumler took the same position.
Mr.. Taggart said the papers were for
the purpose of showing the routine in
the Office and were essential in that
respect. Justice Pritchard ruled that
/ the papers were inadmissible at that
stage.

hear the slightest noise in the house o.
the latter. but on the night that Mabel

titled TO having heard screeching noises
early that Tuesday morning, but these
were not unusual. He also heard unus

THE SENATE.

Washington, April 1.-THE Senate
today was the scene of a sharp c~olloquy
between Senators Teller and Hopkins,
growing out of the reading by Mr.. Tel
Ter Of a letter written by the late Cen
eral H II. Thomas, of Chicago. at
lacking the civil service administration
Of the treasury department. Mr.. Hop
kinS took exception to the quoting of
the letter and declared that the Colora-
do Senator would be willing to accept
authority from the slums,' whe1eupon
Mr.. Teller declined to yield further, de-
claring Mr.. Hopkins reference to the
slums to be insulting. The incident oc-
Cured in connection with the discus
sion of the ~postoffice appropriation bill.
That measure vas under discussion
during the first half of the session and
was passed, all amendments offered by
h Democrats being voted down..
Mr.. Germans amendment providing
for the appropriation OF a commission to
investigate the affairs of the postoff1ce
department, was on motion of Mr..
Lodge laid on the table 40 to 10. The
division was on strictly political lines.
Mr.. Teller presented al amendment
for an investigating commission COM
posed entirely of Senator's. He charged
that republican Senators were unwilling
to have an investigation when Mr..
Aldrich interrupted with a denial Ink
Mr.. Teller repeated his statement that
no investigation was wanted.
9TH Senator can speak for himself
but not for ANYONE else" Mr.. Aldrich
replied sharply and Mr.. Teller respon-
ded by saying hat every resolution
looking for ar inquiry had been voted
down.
"Can the Senator of his own knowl-
edge make a specific charge of malfeas-
ance inlofice that has not been ~investf-
gated" Mr.. Aldrich asked.
Mr.. Teller replied that il was evident
to all that there was corruption in the
postoffice department that had not
been uncovered and h a the Republi-
cans were afraid to let in the light.
The conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill was agreed to.
The bill providing a form OF govern
ment for the Panama canal was taken
up and read and amended but the debate
