After THE Srar’s report of ' the examination of Mr. Atkins, Commissioner of Indian affairs, by the telephone investigation committee of the House yesterday closed, the witness produced & copy of the New York World containing one of bis letters to Dr. Rogers and an editorial on the subject. The connection in which that letter had been published, Mr. Atkins said, and the editorial articlo, in the same paper on’ the 10th of February, were calculated to convey the idea that he had bargained away his in- fluence as chairman of the appropriations com- mittee. “The man whosent that dispatch,” he exclaimed, ‘was either a fool or a Har.” “As to the editorial article,” he said “I_pro- nouncethat, with all respect tothe committee, tobe an Infamousslander anda base lie.

The Kidwell Claim That Has Obstracted the Improvement. ENGINEER ABERT'S VIEWS—HOW THE CLAIM AROSE—DOUETS WHETHER THERE WAS ANY LAND VISIBLE WHEN KIDWELL TOOK OUT HIS PATENT. ‘The question of whether the work on the Po- tomae flats improvement shall be suspended because of a failure on the part of Department ot Justice to settle the doubt which has been raised as tothe title of a section of the river upon which the improvement is being made, is excit- ing much interest. The work is now at that stage when it can not be suspended without danger of great damage, and every effort will be made tosecure from Congress asmall amount of money sufficient to continue the dredging be- yond point where the channel will be filled every time there isarise in the river. The claims to the ownership of part of the flats which form the obstacle to the continuation of the work. comprise but a small section ofthe contemplated improvement, and all the work thatis to be done there has been completed, so that even were the work continued the disputed section would in ho wise be affected. ‘The question of validity or the Invalidity of the claim to the “Kidwell Bottoms” can only be settied in the courts, but some of those who are well informed upon the subject state that they are satisfled that no valid title can be established. ENGINEER ABERTS’ VIEWS. Mr. 8, T. Abert, the civil engineer, who was brought into close relations with the Kidwell flats and matters pertaining thereto, before he ‘was relieved of his duties by Col. Hains, said to- day, when asked about the Kidwell claim to the Potomac flats: “My opinion is that there will be no dimieulty in rebutting the claim of ownership, If the matter Is pushed as it should be. I think It can be shown that the land for which patents were issued was no land at all at that time, but it delay continues until all those who know anything about the matter are dead, there may not be sufficient evidence to show the Invalidity of the title. It the claim- ants are required to substantiate their claim I am satisfled they cannot do it. It the law requires the government to bring suit, as I believe is Intended, I suppose it” will have to prove the invalidity, but that will not bea very onerous task in my’ estimation. Kid- well’s patents were for a plat of land below Eas. by. Point, which was separated by a channel from the Washington shore. In the very year they were issued, I think it was, an offic P was made by Fendall tor the U.S. coast survey, which shows that where Kidwell claimed land there was nothing but water, and at extreme low water, too. Of course, if’ it can be proved that there was no land as represented the claim is invalid, “I know by hearsay,” Mr. Abert continued. “that the surveyor who surveyed the claime lands for Kidwell, whose name is Carpenter, was living a short'time ago near Brightwood. 1am rather surprised, by the way, that he hasn’t been heard’ trom in this con- nection, I suppose he will be, though, if the case ever comes to trial. His evidence would be valuable, tor it is said that when he made the survey there was no land in sigh! but that he waded over the claim and drags: his chains after him, Some men are very tar sighted, and Kidwell was one of those. He ex- ected, evidently, that this claim would make Is heirs, If uot himself, rich. ‘he ownership of 180 acres of land, secured for a mere trifle about the close of the war, so near the city, would eventually become very valuable. If lt was not land then, be foresaw that it would be some day, either by the natu- ral accretions or by improvement. It has been the policy of theelaimantand his legal advisers to wait and to ward off a final settlement of the question of title as much as possible. “If the title was good the land would be much more valuable in years to come, and if it was not good, in years to come it would be all tne tore difficult to prove it, for, as I said, all those Who could throw light on the subject would be dead and gone, I think that the claim can be now proven t be worthless, that there was no Jand at low water at the time the patents were assued, ———__-+e+______ THE LABOR ARBITRATION BILL. The Pith of Yesterday’s Debate in Mouse_Two Sections of the Bi Amended and Agreed to. The labor arbitration bill met with consider- able opposition in the House yesterday. Messrs. Foran, Breckenridge (Ky.), and Hewitt (N.Y. spoke agalust it, Mr. Farquhar objected to the bill, but announced that he was willing to vote for it, as its friends were so anxious to give ita trial. He said that he and Mr. Foran were the “two, and only two representatives of skilled labor in this country who hold seats in the House; the only two entitled tospeak for two at unions of skilled mechanics,” Mr. Far- {unar is the chiet executive of the Typosraphi- cal union of this country. Sir. Warner, of Ohio, said he would vote for the biil, but had many misgivings as to whether it would benefit labor. Messrs. Phelps, of New Jersey; Willis, of Ken- tueky, and ‘Mekiniey. ‘of Ohio, made strong ar- guments in favor of the bill, and Mr. Glover, who is in favor of compulsory arbitration, re- ferred to his colleague, Mr. O'Neill, the princi- pal author of the bill, as a constitution lawyer Among baseballists and a baseballist among constitutional lawyers. The bill went over after the first and second sections had been amended and adopted. ‘THE FIRST AND SECOND SECTION. ‘The first and second sections of the bill as agreed upon are as follows: 1.

CAMBBRIDGE WINS THE UNIVERSITY RACE —— ee ThreePersons Burned to Death in a Hotel Fire, ————— GLADSTONE'’S DANGER. The Opposition of the Scotch Members Will Probably Defeat Him. Special Cable Dispatch to Tae EVENINe STAR, Lonpox, April 3.—That Gladstone is “riding toward defeat” is at least the opinion held by a majority efthose who are not bound to the opti- mist views. The sensation of the week has been the sudden adoption by several leading Scotch Papers of an attitude of opposition to his scheme s0 far as it is understood. The Scotsman began it, ana other prominent journals fol lowed, taking the line previously advocated by the Pall Mail Gazette: that the first step toward home rule must not exceed the powers of an American state, Mr. Gladstone insisting on conferring independence like that cf Canada or Australia, Without the assistance of the Scotch members, success is utterly impossible, Ilearn on the highest authority that Gladstone refuses toalter his scheme, and declares that he will introduce it on April 8th, at whatever cost, I know, however, that there were Tumors among the ministers yesterday ot @ Possible postponement of the date. If Glad- Stone persists defeat seems inevitable, although prophecies of Gladstone's defeat have so often een falsified by his overwhelming incalculable personal Influence. The Irish members profess confidence of the result,but they stand to win in. any case, for Gladstone's speech will be # vindi- cation of home rule. They probably are in no great hurry to assume ‘the tremendous re- Sponsibilities awaiting them.

Since that time about three thousand Chinese have departed, the last steamer taking about five hundred: Rates have now ben raised to $50, and the Oceaniea, which sails to-day, will carry away only about twenty-five Chinese.

SERIOUS STATE OF AFFAIRS CAUSED BY THE DEATH OF JUDGE BAXTER. Dernorr, MIcH., A death of Judge Baxter ai Hot Springs yesterday seri ously obstructs business in the United Stat courts in Michigan. The Free Press this morn- ing says: “With Judge Solomon L. Withey ill in California, where he has been several months, and Judge Henry B. Brown confined to his residence with a prospect of not getting out within two months, the death of Circuit Judge Baxter, who would ‘naturally supply the “place of either, were they unable toexchange benches, becomes’ a matter of grave importance. Thé business of the two Michigan districts has been rformed for some time by Judge Brown, who as thereby been considerably overworked, Should he aiso be unable to perform his duties, there would be mo one to sit on the bench of either circuit. The death of Judge Baxter, therefore, means the possible suspension and serious delay to United States court cases in Michigan.” ——— Horse Thief and Bigamist.
