Congress. Others Want

Especial to News and Observer.)
Washington, d. c., March 1O.--It is as
sured that Congress will order further
investigation into the Postoffice Depart
mcnt. The storm of indignation aroused
by the recent report containing charges
against Senator'S and Representatives
makes that certain.
The only question is as to how far that
investigation, shall go. The Republican
leaders, including the President, insist
that it shall relate only to the allegations
against members of Congress.
The Democrats continue to demand
that-it shall be thorough investigation
OF the entire department. In this demand
they are now joined by many indignant
Republicans.
Which OF the two policies only the de-
bate tomorrow Will show. At any rate it
has become evident TO the leader of the
House that it will be impossible to carry
out the recommendation of the Postoffice
Committee to lay the Hay resolution for
an inquiry on The table and to thus shut
up the Whole matter.
All today members have been talking
over the situation, and the mere they
talked the madder they got To add to
their discontinue, many of them got
their home papers with comments that
IN many cases are anything but favorable.
At least two of the North Carolina
delegation whose names are in the report
expect to make some remarks on it to-
morrow. Mr.. Kluttz and Mr.. Small, both
will explain their connection with the
Offices named and will insist on thorough
investigation, not only Of these specific
cases but of the conduct of the whole
department.
Senator Overman, whose name was sent
out as included in the report, really is not
in it. That is to say the report itself
does not refer TO him in his capacity as
member OF the Senate, but relates to a
transaction which occurred prior to his
election to that body On pages 1862 and
1862 it is stated that Overman leased his
building to the government for a post
office in 1899 and in 1902 he wrote to his
Representative, Mr.. Kluttz, to have an
allowance made for lights ands fuel for
the reasons contained in his letter to Mr..
Kluttz as printed in Che report He was
not elected TO the Senate until 1903 and
after his election he offered to surrender
the lease but the offer was refused as the
report shows.
visited or wrote the Postoffice Depart
ment or any of it's officers, in regard to
any lease, or any allowance for rents, fuel
and lights for himself or any one else

BILLS RELATING TO ALASKA.
Passing These, the Senate Adjourns
Out of Respect to Mr.. Croft.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c.. March 10.-The Sen
ate today passed a number of bills relat'
ing to Alaska. but failed to act upon the
measure authorizing the election II q
delegate in Congress from that ter 'itory.
Mr.. Platt, of Connecticut, opposed the
bill and because of his opposition and his
desire Tor time for discussion it was not
pre- ssed.
The Alaskan bills passed included those
tor the improvement of roads, the main
teEance OF schools, the appointment of an
additional judge and the extension of the
coal laws to the territory.
Several other bills were passed, includ-
ing one increasing to $500 the pension
of ex-soldiers who have become totally
blind on account of service.
After the executive session announce
ment was made of the death of Represen-
tative Croft, OF South Carolina. The chair
appointed Messrs. Tillman, Latimer, FulA
ton, Clarke (Ark.). and McLaurin, COM
nittee to attend the funeral and at l:42
as further mark of respect the Senate
on motion of Mr.. McLaurin adjourned.

mons continued to create the sentiment
that the laws were being obeyed, but in
secret had practiced polygamy and that
the church was irreconcilable to new con-
laws. Mr.. Critchlow said there was dis
position in the Legislature of 1896 to send
all legislation to the Mormon Church to
see il it were proper to enact it. In re-
lation to the Moses Thatcher incident
Mr.. Critchlow said letter had been sent
out which had the purpose of dividing the
people as equally as possible between Re
pubicans and Democrats and maintain
reserve which could be swung either way
in the interest of the church. The church
afterward denied this letter, said Mr..
Cricthlow, but Noses Thatcher continued
working in the interest of the Democratic
party and in the fall of 1896 carried on
an active camp in for election to the
United States Senate by the succeeding
Legislature. This campaign was in con
Gict with the wishes OF the members of
his quorum of apostles and he was final
" dropped IL was taken Up as a church
matter, and, said Mr. Critchlow, the edi-
tofials in the Desert ews declared that
the church had right to interest itself
in tile elections for the United States
Senate"
Mr. Critchlow said it was well known
that the apostles we're working against
Thatcher, aud their object was to prevent
a direct blow at the principle tha. the
quorum of apostles could control the ac.
tor of one of their members. The Nor

Terrible Story Of Peon.
age. Negro Lashed
Like a Hound.
(By the Associated Press.)

Jackson, Miss, March 1O.-Shep Grif-
fin, negro, is in Jail at Meridian, having
been taken from certain persons in KEN
per county, who, it is charged, held him
in involuntary servitude. This is the first
substantial charge OF peonage that has
come to the attention OF United States
officials in Mississippi, and it is learned
that the neighborhood where the arrests
were made is in a ferment of excitement.
While the officials decline to discuss the
matter, it is learned from other sources
that the parties charged with the o1fense,
not only have made threats that they
would kill the negro and the deputies who
arrested him, but also would kill the wit
nesses against them and burn their prop
erty.
Reputable white citizens of Kemper
county brought the case to the attention
Of the marshal asserting to him that the
negro on one occasion had been stripped
and whipped for leaving the premises of
those who held him. So severe was the
heating that his clothes stuck for several
days to the gashes made by the lash. On
his second escape it is alleged that he fled
into Nessobat county, where he was re-
captured, pistols were drawn on him, a
rope was placed round his neck and fas-
tened to the pommel of the saddle of one
of his captors, and he was dragged and
driven back into Kemper county
It appears there was no way for the-negro
to get away and the bench warrant was
the only method by which he could be got
ten from those who held him. This action
Of the Federal judge was taken under
section 881, Revised Statutes of the
United States.
1t is learned that some of the people
who were suspected OF having reported
the case are terrorized and are hunting in
surange agents to get additional protec
tion for their property against incendiar-
ISM
The persons who held Griffin in servi-
tude, claimed that he owed them one dol
lar. This he offered to pay and reputable
white citizens also offered to pay the
sum, but all offers were declined, as it
was stated that it was his work and not
his money that was wanted.

his version, which was borne out by Off
cial records Apostle Thatcher persisted
in contin1Iing as candidate for the
limited States Senate against the wishes
of a ouorum of the Apostles and on that
account was held to be mot il harmony
with his quorum

foro commission of church officials. was
a;vnn in detail, and in the end Thatcher's
submission 10 the will of the church was
read and nut IN the record OF the Smoot

Thatcher totally broken IN spirit and
hoyine absolutely to the mandates Of the

was charged with being out of harmony
with his quorum and not obeying the will
of the president and apostles in regard
to teaching politics"
In answer to a question as to what
happened to Mr.. Thatcher as a result of
his disobedence, Mr.. Critchlow said a
declaration of principles was submitted
to Mr. Thatcher for his signature, but
he refused to sign. In the succeeding
ycar he was summoned before a councA
and tried and acknowledged that he had
been wrong and he retained his good fell
lowship, but is not now an apostle and
has not beer since the episode. Mr..
Thatcher was compelled to subscribe to a
statement that he was wholly in the
wrong and in fact it was shown that his
spirit was broken completely by his con-
fliCt with the church.
Mr.. Critchlow spoke of the influence OF
apostles, giving as an illustration that
the apostles gave out the instruction that
"it is the will of the Lord that you vote
the Republican ticket his time
Mr.. Critchlow said the Democrats pro
tested against the interference by the
church in such manner
The committee adjourned until tomor-
row.
