SECRETARY WHITNEY AND THE BROADWAY Rarway INvestiGation.—Secretary Whitney yesterday sent a letter to Hon. Henry P. Low, {he chairman of the senate committee of the New York legislature investiguting the Broad- Way railroad matter, in which he explains his relations with that road by stating that he and other citizens of New York were directors of the first company to lay claim to a railroad from the Battery to 14th street, and labored earnestly to prevent Mr. Sharp and his associates from obtaining the consent of the board of aldermen. Later some Philadelphia rties proposed to Mr. Whitney and his fellow-directors to abandon their attitude ot hostility and take part in the new enterprise of leasing Broadway, Seventh Avenue and other hnes, which proposition was accepted by a large majority of the ‘stock: holders. It was subsequently discovered that the lease could not be obtained, and the Phila- delphia parties purchased a controlling interest in the Stock by the contract of Febraary 2, 1886. ‘The Secretary states that he has no interest in these purchases, and no investment in nor committal to their general enterprise, and what effect this investigation may have upon it, and whether he shall ever join it, are as open questions for him as for any One else.

RIDDLEBERGER CREATES A SENSATION IX THE SENATE TO-DAY. In the Senate today Mr. Riddleberger sub- mitted a resolution requiring that on Monday next each Senator shall report the name of his private secretary. 7 Mr. Platt thought the resolution had better le over, Mr. Riddleberger said he knew of men enter- ing the floor as private secretaries who could not be admitted to the parlor of any gentleman. With great warmth and but partially suppressed anger Mr. Riddleberger proceeded to say that parties had tickets as private secretaries and obtained admission to the floor to blackmail and to libel Senators, He knew of such a case. Zhe House had objected to Capt. Eads being on the floor; but, while Eads was not on the Senate floor, he had three hench- men there, two of them representing republican papers and one representing a demo- cratic paper. He knew of private secretaries who got no pay except the privilege of entering the floor of the Senate. He knew of Senators who had given tickets _to men as private secre- tarles while the sons of those Senators drew the pay, and the “creatures” of these Senators had ‘access to the floor. He intended to agitate this matter until he should ascertain where this thing was evolved from. Mr. Riddleberger grew more excited as he proceeded. He did not propose that men should have access to the loor who were libelers. ‘The resolution was amended by Mr. Hoar so as to require the names of private secretaries to be printed in the Record and was then adopted.
