The Investigation by the Platt Com- mittee Continued, The Platt special committee of the Senate to- day examined Henry W. Andrews, late license clerk of the Indian office, with regard to the ‘appointment of Indian traders. After describing the routine procedure of the office in this regard, he stated that Commissioner Atkins called upon him for information, among other matters about the traders at Avadarko, Mr. Atkins said he wanted a new deal there, and wished to know who among the traders at that agency should go, Witness in reply made known the charge that Cleveland, as junior partner of J. J. Fisher & Co., was aifeged to be under contract with Reynolds, the man who bought out the stock of that firm, not to re-enter the trading business on that Teservation as long as Rey- nolds continued to trade. In regard to some papers from files of the Indian burean to be submitted, Mr, Hunter, attorney for Cleveland, said they were not thé papers he wanted. Mr. Blackburn ‘sald, sharply: “I’m not sub- mitting matters to you, sir, for determination. Mr. A. B. Upshaw, ehlef ‘clerk, and in the ab- cé of the commissioner acting commissioner, was examined. His testimony was chielly confirmatory of that given by Cominissioner Atkins, He said in reply to Senator Black- burn that there are four Tennessecans, two Mississippians, flve Missourians and thirteen Kapsans who’ hold leenses to trade in the Indian Territory, In reply to Senator Platt, witness sald H. B, Branam, of Oxford, Miss. was, at the Ume he was licehsed as a trader, member of the law firm of which Secretary Lamar was the head. The firm was Lamar, Mayes & Branham, Mayes being a son-in-law of the Seeretars Witness sitid, tn reply to an- Inquiry by Sena- tor Platt, that hie had heard since the tnvesti- gation began that Meeks had not put up any money, but was receiving a portion of the pro- fits of the store in which he was a partner, merely for bis Ucense. ‘The matter had not yet been investigated, He knew that Branham was not in the Indian Territory, having been called home by the illness of his child, who had since died. Witness did not remember who recom- mended Branham, but he was an old friend of Secretary Lumar, Gen, Atkins and hiunselt, (witness). ‘They liad known him well for years, ‘The committee adjourned, subject to the cali of the chair. se Bills Approved by the President. ‘The President has approved the joint resolu- Von authorizing a compilation of the reports of congressional committees; the joint resolution to credit Lieuts.

Another amendment that no relative of a United States judye (within the degree of first cousin) shill be appointed to any office or «a y an the court h such judge is a men was also struck out—the reason for the action in both eases being that the original bill was a local one, while these amendments (offered originally by Mr. Logan) were of a general character. THE PERMANENT EXPOSITION RESOLUTION. In the Senate to-day, Mr. Hoar attempted to call up the resolution relating to the permanent exposition reported by him yesterday. He was advised by the chair that having been reported from a committee the resolution went to the calendar, Mr. Hoar was inclined to dispute the ruling, but was advised by Mr. Edmunds and others that the chair was right. Mr. Hoar then asked consent to withdraw the resolution and introduce it as his own, that he might call it up tomorrow. Mr. Hale objected, saying the subject would cause considerable debate. ‘Mr, Hoar then took a copy of the resolution, as follows, and introduced it as his own mo- tion: . “ Whereas the approaching centennial anni- versary, In 1889, of the adoption of the consti- tution of the Ubited States, and that of the 400th anniversary, in 1892, of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, ure two im- portant historical events, fraught’ with great patriotic interest, not only to the citizens of this republic and of the governments of the western hemisphere, but also mark occasions of trans- cendent importance in the history of the clvil- ized world; and whereas it 1s proper that the people should commemorate these great events in manner becoming the greatness and dig- nity of the United States: Therefore be it Resolved, That a committee of five members of the Senate, of whom the President of the Senate shall be one, be appointed to consider, formulate and report at the next session of Congress a plan for properly celebrating, at the capital of the republic, these two illustrious an- niversaries. Said conimittee are authorized to act In concert with any similar committee of the House, and to act during the recess.” ‘The resolution went over til to-morrow, A MONTH'S EXTRA PAY FOR CAPITOL EMPLOYES. Mr. Butler offered a resolution to authorize the payment of one month’s extra pay toem- ployes of the Senate and House, Mr. Edmunds objected and the resolution was ‘reierred to the committee on contingent expenses. A resolution, offered by Mr, Wilson, (Iowa), calling on the Commissioner of Agriculture sor a report (next session) on the wheat statistics of the World, was adopted. On motion of Mr. Spooner, a House bill in re- lation to the western Judicial district of Wis- consin, was taken up, amended and passed,and & conference asked for. Mr. Allison asked unanimous consentto have. vole taken on the “surplus” resoluion at 5 o'clock this afternoon, THE SURPLUS RESOLUTION. Mr. Edmunds objected, saying that atter all the “financiers” had spoken, and after all the “real representatives” of the people bad spoken he might desire to give his views ina modes w ay. t ‘The Senate then, at noon, resumed considera- tion of the House Joint resolution directing tbe Paymentof the surplus in the Treasury on the public debt, and was addressed by Mr. Telier (in continuaticn of the speech begun by him yes- terday) in favor of the original resolution and against the amendment reported by the Senate committee on finance. He referred to the ques- Uon asked here yesterday by Mr. George, as to whether he Knew apy method of compelling the owners of money to put it in circulation. He had answered that question in the negative. His angwer, however, applied to banks and individuals, It did not apply to the govern- ment. The pending resolution looked to com- pelling the government of the United States to Pay out the surplus money which was now locked up in the ‘Treasury beyond the reach of the business enterprises of the country, Referring to his remark of yesterday as tou “conspiracy” on the purt of capitalists toenhance the Value of money, he said that tals was not the idle assertion of’ men who felt that the affairs of government had not been administered wisely. In every part of the world there was to-day the same complaint of stagnation in business, of depression in all sorts of enterprises, ‘There was a standstill, no new movement, falling prices in Europe as well ‘asin this country. He attributed this to the fact that, a few years ago, an effort was made (and was still studiously made) in all the legis- lutive governments of the world. to destroy one halt the money of the world in order to en- hance the value of the other halt. He quoted from the Bankers’ Magazine to prove the de- preciation in the price of cotfee, sugar, tea,iron, Wool and other commodities, and the equiva: jent appreciation of government securities all over the world, in proof of the assertions which he made yesterday, that the 74 cent dollar would buy more of what men ate and drank and more than the hundred cent dollar could Lwenty years ago, and that money was no longer put in. busthess enterprises but in gov- ernment bonds. He had never insisted that the government should pay silver tor its bonds; although he hud insisted tbat it had a right to doso, and that the bondholders should have no right to col plain. But ifthe government saw fit, and was able to pay gold tor its bonds’ he had no objection. He had demanded nothing for silver Which he nad not demanded for gold. He wanted to keep the two metals on ‘an equality because, in his Judgment, it would be us.disastrous to destroy gold as to destroy silver. Buthe sald that the government coula pay this $136,000,000 for bonds at the rate of $10,000,000 a’ month without paying a dollar iusiiver, That is, if it chose to doso. If the Tevenues continued as in the past it would only be necessary to draw from the present surplus 200,000 &@ month s0.as to meet the demand Tequired by the resolution--ten millions a mouth. Because he believed that there was no danger of ademand on the ‘Treasury to such an extent as had been suggested yesterday he should vote for the resolution pure and. simple asitcame trom the House, without any of those entangling amendments, He wished that the Treasury department could be brought Jnto relation with the general body of the peo- ple who paid taxes and who ought to be recog- nized not simply in the monetary. affairs of legislation but in all legislation.” The people demanded that legislation should be as much in their interest, al least, as in the interest of mouey kings. Mr. ‘Vance spoke in support of the resolution ‘as itcame from the House. It was plain and simple, and the plain people ot the country (not Jearned in the technicalities of faance)'so re- garded it. The question simply was whether the government should pay its debts from the money in hand. That course was the plainest dictation of common sense and old-tashioned honesty. 41e did not trouble himself toinquire whether the joint resolution would or would not be a vote ol want of confidence in the administra- on. That was an argument unworthy to be addressed to a Senutor of the United States, and it Was unworthy of the dignity of his posi- tion for him to listen to such au argument, For himselt he had only inquired us to whether the resolution would promote the general wel- fare of tue people. Tie was constantly told that this was bis ad- d wo put it in ministration; that ue had helpe power, and that as it was the only demucratic administration whieh the country bad had for @ quarter of a century, it was entitled to and should receive his cordial support. That was all very true. ‘The administration was entitled to, and should have, bis best support in all things, but not at the expense of his honest con- vicuions of duty. In other words, he desired to be an honest as well as ademocrat. [Quiet republican side.) He believed tuut the action of the House of Representatives in pussing the Joint resolution (207 to 65) re- flected the wishes of the people, and he pro- posed not to be disobedient to thé popular be- ‘nest, He was, therefore, in favor of the resolu- on, as it came from the House, pure and sim ple.’ And hho was opposed to the amendment because it ‘(Gnstead of diminished) the reasury eserve, and because it left the ur; declared was that the Treasury reserve of $100,000,000 Was, at that time, twenty million short in gold, and’ that, by a ‘demand for the payment of greenbackis, tho government. might havo been forced to a silver basis. He confessed that many leading democrats had been practically 1n favor of flat money, and that some ot their speeches only added fuel to the flame whieh re- Publicans had started. He was glad to say, however, that the time was passed when that heresy was confined to democrats. Some of the speeches made yesterday showed that it was also shared by some republican Seu- ators. He had regret A to hear the Senator | from Missouri (Mr. Vest) say yesterday that the | finane question was to be a question between the eastand the west.

The Secret Session. MR. VAN WYCK’S MOTION To CONSIDER THE EXTEADITION TREATY WITH OPEN DOORS. The Senate went into secret session about ten minutes after 11 o'clock, and after con- firming the nomination of George A. Jenks to be solicitor general, Senator Van Wyck offered a resolution , providing that the extradition treary with Great Britain shall be considered with open doors. It will be considered when the treaty comes up. ‘The secret session lasted only a few minutes but the galleries, upper corridors and commit- Wwe rooms were cleared of all their occupants— at least all but one—a stranger, who seemed to have been overlooked. During the secret session this gentleman innocently walked into the gallery. “He wasappalled by the warning gesticulations of Senate officials on the floor, and backed out very hastily. Hehas not since been seen about the building. CONFIRMATIONS AND REJECTIONS. In the secret session the Senate confirmed John B. Redman as collector of internal reve nue for the district of Maine.

VETOED PENSION BILIS. In compliance with the arrangements made yesterday, the House resumed consideration of vetoed pension bills, the first being that ranting 850 a month to the widow of Gen, avid It. Hunter. In advocating the passaze of the bill over the President's veto, Mr. But- terworth (Ohio) cited the various precedents where the widows of general officers were granted $50 a month, and he protested against the House making fish of one and flesh of another. The trouble in this case, he thought, was that Gen. Hunter had presided at the Fitz John Porter court-martial. If It were not for that the President would have signed the bill, the bill over the ‘The House refused to veto—yeas 111, nays 108, not the constitu- Uonal two-thirds in the affirmative. The consideration of the vetoed bills grant- ing pensions to Mary Norman, John W. Farris and David T, Elderkin was ‘postponed until next session. The House refused to pass over the Presi- dent’s veto—yeas 119, nays 95, not the consti- tutional two-thirds in’ the affirmative, the bill granting a pension to Mary Anderson, THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL. This disposed of the vetoed pension bills upon the calendar, and in accordance with agree- ment the House resumed the consideration ot the inter-state commerce bill. ‘The previous question was ordered—yeas 159, nays 55, and the question recurred on the sub: stitute (the Reagan bill) to the Senate bill (the Callom bili The District in Congress. MR. HEMPHILL MAKES AN INEFFECTUAL EFFORT TO HAVE THE HOUSE CONSIDER A BILL TO SAVE THE PEOPLE’S MON Mr. Hemphill caught the Speaker's eye this morning and asked unanimous consent to take up and passa bill to repeal the law which re- quires that the District sinking fund shall be used for the purchase of District bonds, so as to permit the treasurer to hold thts money until the bonds tall due and can be redeemed. at par instead of paying a high premium asat present; also to repeal the law which requires the con: tractors’ 10 per cent reserve fund to be 1n- vested in government bonds, which have to be bought at a premium, involving a loss to either the government or to the contractor. ‘Mr. Hemphill explained that the purpose of the bill wus to make a saving to the general government und. to the District of the amount ‘of premiums whieh had to be paid in purchas- ing the bonds before they mature. The District bonds bear interest at 6 or 7 per cent, and con- sequently are held at a very high premium, ‘Mr. Warner, of Ohio, objécted to the bill, giv- ing as his reason that it “locked the monéy up in the Treasury.” Mr, Hemphill said he did not know what Mr. Warner's grounds of objection were, but. he knew that he was costing the goverumient and the District considerable money. Aiter the bill had failed thus of unanimous ¢onsent, and was laid by for some other bill, ‘Messrs.

A Pouch Valued at $80,000 Lost Be- tween New York and Pittsburg. Sr. Louis, July 30,—The post office inspectors of the postal division between this city and New York are now looking for the author of the first important mail robbery on that divi- sion. The theit occurred nearly a mouth azo, but the amount of money lost was so lange that the Inspectors have taken unusual precaution to keep it secret, A postal clerk who knows the facts, however, has made them public,and they areas follows! The postal car which lett New York for St, Louts, June 28th, had among its mail a pouch, No. $53, tor St, Louls, which con tained about $20,000 in money and. dratts bonds, checks and other vaiuabie papers and property valued at $80,000. At Pitisburg the far West mail was transicrred, passing into the hands of Chiet Clerk James Ferald.. The train as usual, made a very short stop at that place and also, as usual, ihe chief clerk signed To- celpts for'the various pouches without inspect ing them, the time being too short to do so, Daring the run to Indianapolis, te found that he bad receipted for the St, Louis pouch, whieh was not in is: possession, and wisich probably bad not been turned over’ to him with’ the rest of the muil, He immediately reported the rob- bery, and the detectives have been working on the case ever since, without, as yet, having made any arrests.
