Investigations.
Washington, April %. - Attorney
General Knox has transmitted to the
house replies to the two resolutions
Of inquiry introduced by Mr.. Williams
CMiss.) relative to the trusts. First
replying to the question as to whether
any criminal prosecutions had been
begun by him against persons involved
in the decision OF the supreme court of
the United States in the Northern Sc
curities case as guilty of violating the
laws by entering into combinations in
restraint of trade, the attorney general
says:
81 have the honor to say that no
criminal prosecutions have been in
stituted against the persons referred
to in the resolution, and that further
than this do not deem it compatible
with the public interest to comply with
the resolution.
The other resolutions ask if any in.
vestigation ever was made bp the de-
partment of justice of the sc-called
anthracite coal carrying railroads.
The attorney general replies that
several witnesses refused to produce
papers and answer questions which
the commission considered and ruled
to be germane to the inquiry; where
upon, under the direction OF the attor-
ney general, proceedings were begun
in the United States circuit court in
New York for the purpose of COMPEL
ing the coal companies to produce pa.
pers and answer questions.
1.-THE circuit court dismissed the Pc
tition of the interstate commerce COM
mission, whereupon an appeal was
taken by the United States directly to
the supreme court of the United
States. This appeal was decided in
favor of the power of the committee
to compel the production of the testi-
mony, and as l am informed, the COM
mission is about to renew the hear
ings, which, when completed, Will lay
before the department of justice, in
connection with other evidence it has
gathered itself and has been furnished
to it by sundry persons, all the avail
able information in relation to the al
legged combination.
Further than this do not deem it
compatible with the public interest to
comply with the resolution"

ence Of crowded galleries and Of al
most a full membership, Messrs. Lit
tlefield of Maine and Williams of Mis-
sissippi in the house yesterday made
speeches intended for the coming pres
idential campaign. The two speakers
were wildly applauded by their re-
spective sides, but there was an alb
sence of personalities such as charac-
terized the clash between Messrs. Dal
zell and Cochran. Indeed, the best
of humor prevailed.
Mr. Littlefield continually tainted
the Democrats with the utterances of
Mr.. Cochran, and by name called on
several of the prominent members of
that party in the house to ancwer
yes" or mo" whether they approved
Mr.. Cockran's views, and whether they
intended going before the people on
the issue of free trade. He defended
the protective tariff system from every
point of view.
Mr.. Williams, adopting the tactics
of Mr.. Littlefield, endeavored to force
from the Republicans and from Mr..
Littlefield in particular, categorical
answers to several questions which he
deemed pertinent. Mr.. Littlefield an
swered yes when asked if he ap-
proved of everything in the Mckinley
administration, which enabled Mr..
Williams to remind him that he Lit-
tlefield) and Mr.. Williams had stood
together in opposition to colonialism.
Mr.. Williams asserted that the Re-
publicans were going before the peo-
pie ION the issue borrowed from the
gamblers table of standing pat" The
house sat until late in the afternoon
and then recessed until 9 o'clock at
night.
When the house reconvened Mr..
Burton (Rep., o. presented the con-
ference report on the emergency river
and harbor bill. 1t was adopted with
out debate.
In the Senate.
The attention of the senate was de-
voted to consideration of reports of
conference committees, set speeches,
passage of bills to which there was
little or no objection, and an executive
session.
Final conference reports on the sun
dry civil, general deficiency, pOstoffice
and the military academy appropria-
ton bills were agreed to- practically
without opposition. Speeches were
made by Mr. Cullom on the conduct of
foreign affairs by Presidents McKin-
ley and Roosevelt. BY Mr.. Teller on
the public land question, and by Mr..
McLaurin on the old-age pension order
! and trusts. A resolution authorizing
the continuation during the recess of

ance. The judge would not give the

or the purpose of his journey.
Kingston, N. Y, Aug. 5.--Judge Par
ker arrived here at 10:45 He rode
from Esopus in the ordinary day coach
chatting all the way with personal
friends. He was unaccompanied, even
by a private secretary. and few persons
on the car recognized him. At Kingston
he left the train without giving an in
timation as to his intentions. He had
his shoes shined at the station and
again boarded train for Albany.
Albany. Aug. 5.-Judge Parker
reached Albany at 1:12 and after lunch
went to his chambers in the court of

an old soldier. resident of this city.
has come into fortune. He was an

When the war came on Stoll owned
farm in Iowa of 160 acres. He en-
listed until 1852 and served until the
