sages sent to COnGress.

WASHINGTON. April 2s.-When the
telegraph companies began casting up
totals on the peace messages that have
flooded Congress this week they found
the figures staggering. To-day's esti-
mate was that between 100000 and
$50, 900 would be the number. They are
still coming IN. though In decreasing
numbers.
The cost Of this enterprise Ia estimated
al $3.50. 900. This fact impelled Senator
Husting TO say he would demand a
Senatorial investigation Of the sources
Of the funds.
In the Anal rush Of the last two days
the senders abandoned day n night
letters and despatched many at straight
commercial rates, some messages costing
81 or IS each.
Coupled with the desire OF Congress-
men to-day to nov where the money
came from was the desire to know who
nut the stop order on the kilograms.
IL was reported that the original plan
had been to lombard Congress with
10000 messages.
Just before Senator Husting sug-
Gested a public inquiry San Francisco
reported 10000 kilograms on hand for
Washington; Milwaukee reported 5000.
A few hours later the San Francisco
ana Milwaukee offices reported that the
telegrams had been ordered cancelled by
the senders.
