Washington, Feb. II4-Senators
Warren. Of Missouri, and Scott, OF
Virginia are urging Senator Foraker

The injection Of this question may
bring about serious complications IN

Of party victory Foraker is being 'mg
ed to Withhold his Investigations Until

the cities Of Illinois, Indiana and Mis-
sour, and republican party leaders
look upon Foraker's report with
grave apprehension,
Senator Foraker, however, is very
stubborn, and, i is said, will not lis

He has found great favor with the
negroes ON account of his investiga-
