The Daily Times, which the first newspaper to publish extracts from Wickershams sensational let ter to Secretary Lane, In which charges of serious nature were made against the Cabinet officer in con necion with the construction of the government rail- way, suggested that the circulation of this letter among members of Congress might have respons- ible for delay in passing the appropriation bill which was overwhelmed finally in the ilibuster in the Senate Nothing has transpred since then to dis prove the suggestion, not the statement made today by Wickersham. His letter dated January 2, and the Daily Times does not fatter itself that the copy from which it made extracts for publication was the only extant, and this one had been out of Wickershams possession for many weeks and for some time prior the adjournment of Congress Is
 it not possible that the perusa of this letter by mem bers of Congress prior to its publication in the news papers, had something to do with the lack of interest
