Wants Investigation.
The Governor concluded by requesting
an Official investigation into the state
of affairs. and Mr. rllman said that he
would move for such an investigation
but for the fact that the House was NOV
Sing in TINT direction. He said that as the
letter came from the Republican Governor
of the State.it was of transccndent i'm
portance. and he did not see how an in
vestightloh could be refused, and unless
the House should move In the matter he
would ask the Senate to order an inquiry.
Mr.. Elkins said that there was Il state
law aifording an adequate remedy by
innndam,ls for such conditions as those
represented. but that shippers hesitatcd
to employ 1t. He suggested that the
Governors letter be referred to the Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce, and It
was so referred.
Mr. Foraker expressed, the hope that
there would be an investigation along
the lines suggested by Governor Dawson.
He said that the Governors complaint
went to the heart of the railroad trouble
all over the country. and he expressed
the opinion that a remedy for the evil
complained OF would do more to solve
the problem than anything else.
The railroad bill was received from the
House and referred to the Committee on
| Interstate Commerce.
The Senate adjourned until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February s.
President Roosevelt submitted to Con-
gress to-day all the official communities
lions in connection with the arrest of
Marcus Braun. a special agent of the
Department of Commerce and Labor. in
Budapest last May, subsequent to Mr..
Braun's trouble with Austro- Hungarian
officials. who tempered with his mail.
The correspondence was made public In
compliance with Il resolution OF Repre-
sentative Sulzer! The letter of Secretary
Hay. finally disposng of the case. says:
'Inasmuch as 1t appears from the corr
rcspondence that Braun was guilty of
highly improper conduct as an official of
the United States, engaged in mission
in Hungary, in openly attacking the
Hungarian government In the newspapers,
and inasmuch as Braun has been recalled
and the offending petty officials have been
rcprimanded by the imperial government.
the department. does not feel that 1t Is
desirable to press the matter further
with the Austro Hungarian government"
On May 18th the Austro Hungarian en-
bassy in Washington advised the State
Department that Braun was unfavorably
criticising the Hungarian government
concerning emigration. The note re-
Mr.. Brauns procedure.

| thorities; that Braun was jew" and
Mr.. Storer should have known that fric-

| trian embassy in Washington had been
| instructed to ask for Mr.. Braum's recall:
| and that the subordinate police officers
who had interferred with Mr.. Braun woulu
b.. dismissed and punished.
Mr.. Storer sent mail report from
Braun, alleging that the latter's mail
| had been opened and that the Hungarian
police published a defamatory statement
about him. alleging that he had abscond-
ed, and charging him with blackmail
Mr.. Storer said Braun had been indis-
Greet and offensive in his Interviews and
had presented no credentials. Despite
Braun's reported indlscretions, Mr..
Storer said he firmly believed that the
sanity of Brau1's correspondence was
| outrageously violated and that he was
detained and insulted beyond the technical
| excuse put forward In Justification. Later
the Hungarian Government published the

ing over one hundred teams were here,
and all the fish they desired. The price
at present is fifty cents the bushel.
