Washington. April 1.-THE report Of

der the caption, Charges Concerning
Members of Congress-" was made to
the house today by Chairman Mccall.
The report is signed by all seven mem
bers. The minority members, however,
append their supplemental views. An
important phase of the report is the
finding regarding the connection of
members with the business of the post
office department, as follows:
After careful consideration Of all
the cases specified in the report Of the

Some Careless Letters.

IN this connection, the committee
would desire to call attention to the
fact that this inquiry has come upon
the house suddenly and without any
notice to it's members. Their CORE
spondence has been brought to light
with that department of the govern
ment with which their relations are
most intimate. In no instance is 1t
likely they expected the letters which
they wrote would be published. These
letters were written under a great va
riety of circumstances, in haste, and
some doubtless by the private secre-
tary of Il member; some of them for
ma II some of Il personal nature.
1T is to the credit of the member
ship of the house that correspondence
of this character, thus collected to-
gcther, should contain so little of an
u~nfavorable character. Undoubtedly
there are letters which were carelessly
written. The action in some cases was
not we'll considered. The statement
ound in some instances, in some let
terS from the executive office, that
| what was done was done as a favor to
the member, might well have been re-
scented. But there is nothing in any of
the cases considered that reflects upon
the integrity Of the membership of the
house of representatives"
