Late yesterday afternoon, while the clerk was Tending the call of states for the presentation of bills in the House, Mr, Hopkins offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee of Ove to In- vestigate @ charge made by J. Warren Kelfer, a member of the House, that H. V. Boynton, Wash- ington correspondent of the Cincinnatl Com- merciat-Gazette, how holding a seat in the press gallery under the rules of the House, had ap- proached the Speaker of the House during the closing days of the last Congress with corrupt propositions Intended to induence his oficial ac- ton, After some debate Speaker Carlisle held that the resolution Involved a question of privilege, and was therefore properly before the House. MR. KEIPER'S CHARGRS. Mr. Kelfer then spoke to the resolution, and read from a letter which he had addressed to H. V. Boynton, under date of January 28, 1894. ‘The let- Ver was Of a strongly personal nature, and char- acterized Boynton among other as a lar, a defamer and a forger, Saying he forged a letter ‘und sent it throughout’ the country purporting to be from Mr. Keifer. Mr. Keifer then stated that, Boynton told him near the close of the last. session tat he “was @ fool for not making money while Speaker, a3 Blaine and Colfax had done, and that there Was still plenty to be made if the McGarrahan bill could be gotien through,” and says {t would doubtless have been wiser for him if he had thrown Boynton from the room when Uuls suggestion Was made. ‘The letter closes by refusing Gen. Boynton’s de- mnand for an investigation. “At the conclusion of the reading of the letter, Mr. Keifer made an elab- orate explanation of Ue cireumstances of Boyn- ton’s visit to him and sabsequent differe: He submitted a lett: Boynton asking him to Le Mouse to move to sua aru the McGarranan Di sells diy pecuniary interest tn i which he refused 10 do, having satisfied himsel that the bill ought not’ to pass. His connection and relation with Boynton ceased with the inter- View above referred to, and from that hour to the present he had never recognized or spoken to him. MR. KEIPER DENOUNCES THE CORRESPONDENTS. ‘Wir. Kelfer said t¢the resolution was adopted he wanted It (0 be torn wide open, 80 a8 to include ‘Willian B. Shas, @ correspondent, who took $15,000 as a lobbyist, znd who presided over the meeting of hewspaper mien which passed resolutions to defame Kelter near the close of the last. Con, He de- nounced those correspondents who had “tradacea lin through the land,” but admitted that many correspondents had treated bin Kindly. Mr. Hopkins sald that tn hts opinion the gentle- man from Ohio hud made a strong argument to justify this investigation. If what he said was true, there were men in the gallery unworthy of a seat there, He did not know Gen. Boynton even by ight, but he asked, in justice to that gentle coer communication from Limshould be read. GEN, BOYNTON DENTES. After debate, Mr. Springer assumed the responsi- bility of having Gen, Boynton’s communication presented asa part of hls remarks. Gen, Boynton efers to the charge in regard to the MeGarrahan Dill: prouuunces Mf. Ketfer's version of thelr inter View as utterly devoid of truth, and respectfully Tequests the Fouse to investigaté the matter. Mr. Warner offered an araendment directing the committee also to inquire and report whether any other member of the press now holding a seat in the reporters’ galiery against whom charges have been preferred has been guilty of conduct that Cugit?to. deprive hitn of his fight to such seat. Adopted. ‘THE KRSOLUTION ADOPTED. ‘Mr. Kasson moved torefer the whole matter to ‘almost iat ‘Only at ARTHUK NATTANS, 7 te ‘eth and Laud dd abd D atrecta iw, TE ere ls ved by a party vote, and the resolution as Sihended was adopted.
