Washington, Jan. H. Taking cour
age from the big vote by which the
resolution rebuking the president was
adopted, congress at each end of the
capitol intends to carry forward its
war on the White House during the
remaining weeks OF this administra-
tion. Chairman Tawney, OF the ap-
propriations committee is out with
bristling. interview, purporting to show
that there has been a gross peryersion
on the part of the government officials
In expending the funds appropriated
by congress He says:
The country will be surprised to
learn how some Of the money appro-
priated by congress has been expend-
ed.
While no officer at the head Of any
department will talk for publication,
1t is strongly intimated today that, be-
fore the congressional investigation
ends there will be such a turning of
tables that not only will the country
be surprised but shocked. 1t is not
determined yet whether or not yolun-
teer evidence will be heard by the Sc
cret service, but it is a safe prediction
to venture that such testimony will be
offered. II not accepted, this testi-
niony, in the form of proven asser-
tions, may come out any way.
AT the White House there are indi-
cations that the president is all ready
and more than willing to strike off a
balance sheet showing approximately,
at least, just how much crime. graft,
fraud and how many violations Of law

COMMISSIONERS OF AGRICULTURE

Bismarck, N. d., Jan. 12.-The ques
tion Of securing farm statistics re-
cetves considerable attention in the
tenth biennial report Of Commissioner
of Agriculture and Labor w. C. Gil
braith. In the past considerable diff
ficiilty has been experienced in the
matter OF securing correct information
with reference to, the crops produced
each year, and in speaking OF this
matter, Commissioner Gilreath. in his
report, says:
Much care has been exercised in
an effort to ebtain accuracy in statis-
tics, but the results are not entirely
satisfactory. It is. however. the best
that can be accomplished under the
present system Of gathering them.

instances considerable correspondence
has been exchanged with auditors of
various counties with a view to as

the source OF all discrepancies to the
assessors, who have failed to turn in

Mr.. Foraker reviewed the statements

TO congress on the Brownsville affair.
ut will be noted" he said, that the
guilt of these soldiers, charged by
the president, was, according to the
president, 'conclusively' established by
the testimony first submitted. He took
occasion to repeat this In his first mes
sage over and over again. Why he
should so often repeat 1t is mex
plicable except upon the theory that he
is, after all, like all other men, and that,
notwithstanding all he had said, he had
some doubt about the sufficiency of the
testimony upon which he had acted;
for. II he had no doubt. there could
have been no necessity for such un-
usual repitition of the statement of
that fact. 1t would at least appear to
the ordinary mind that after the weak
ness and insufficiency of this testimony
was pointed out, he recognized the me-
cessity for strengthening his case. and
thereupon dispatched Mr.. Purdy and
Major Blocksom to Brownsville to se-
cure the evidence reported by them.

Burlington, Ia, Jan. I2.--Coroner
Barr OF Fountain Green, held an In
quest over the body of Rev. John Fl
Carmichael at Carthage last night and
heard the testimony of those who had
anything TO do with the case. Nothing
new was developed and the jury re-
turned the verdict that "John Car
michael came, to his, death by his own
hands snd by exposure to cold"
Deputy Sheriff Moore left this after
noon for Port Huron, Mich, with the
body by order of the state attorney
at Port huron.
Carthage, Ill, Jan. 12.-When the po-
lice officials attracted to this place by
the suicide of Rev. Carmichael. the sell
confessed slayer OF Gideon Browning
at Rattle Rum" Mich, have fully sat
isfied themselves as to the circum-
stances attending the last act in the
tragedy, II is expected that the inquiry
will turn to the possible motive for the
initial crime.
Sheriff Wegenseil, who started for
Carthage as soon as the fact OF the
suicide became known, and is today
taking the lead in the investigation
was convinced that there was a wo-
man in the case and expressed regret
that Carmichael could not have been
taken home alive
In the face Of these doubts however
the general tendency seems to be to
accept the theory of mental unrespon-
sfbility untilT tangible developments
