TAULBEE FYROM PRESENTING 4 CLEAR AND CANDID STATE- MENT OF THE PACTS IN THE CASE—DETAILED REPORT OF THE PROCREDINGS. The members of the school-site investigating committee who submitted the majority report and altered testimony exonerating the Commis- sioners did all in their power yesterday after- noon to prevent Mr. Taulbee from getting his statement of the case before the House. Late in the afternoon Mr. Taulbee submitted the two reports to the House. Members on both sides were anxious to get on to other busi- hess, and advantage of this fact was taken by those who, in the interest of the Commissioners, wanted to cut Mr. Taulbee off and distract the attention of members from the matter at hand. Mr. Taulbee attempted to make 2 brief state- ment and to get through with the matter as jwickly as ‘ible, but every time he was about to call attention to the changes in the testimony Mr. Baker, of New York, who drew up the majority r by the altered testi- mony, interrupted hi causing hogy Eng 80 taxing the patience of the House they Were in no mood to pay attention to Mr. Taul- bee's side of the case. NO EXPLANATION OF THE CHANGES OF TESTIMONT MADE. The minority report called attention to the fact that the testimony submitted by the ma- jority as the record of the committee had been changed in important particulars. and was not the testimony as sworn to. Mr. Baker appeared tobe sudestoring te proves 2 vicar re en a itement of it from bei ‘made to the House, and resisted all efforts of Mr. Taulbee to secure acorrection. The impatience of other mem- bers, not interested in this matter, to get on with other business assisted Mr. Baker in rais- ing the dust and make it that Mr. Taul- bee was responsible for the taking up of time. move ted Mr. Baker objected to eve: to bring the oon or Mr. Taulbee’s state- ment to the attention of the House. Meanwhile, Messrs. Randall and Blount were impatient of delay. and were doing whatever they could to get rid of the matter quickly and get it out of their way. A question was raised by them 4s to the right of the committee to report at any time, but it was shown that they had this right. A DETAILED REPORT OF THE CONTEST. Mr. Taulbee said: “I request that the views of the minority be submitted with those of the majority, and, together with the accompsnying testimony, be printed.” Mr. Baker. With the reports? Mr. Taulbee.—Certainly; and the whole matter be re-referred to the committee. Mr. Baker.—I object to that. Let the com- mittee be discharged from further action on the subject. Mr. Randall and Mr. Blount here questioned the privi of the report. The Speaker de- cided that it had privilege. Mr. Taulbee—I do not think the gentleman from New York would have any objection to the request I made. Mr. Baker, of New York—I have most decided objections, THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE CONFUSSION and Mr. Randall moved the discharge of the committee, The Speaker—That motion is unnecessary. Whena select committee makes itsreport, unless it be recommitted to the committee. it is nec- essarily discharged from the further considera- tion of the subject. Mr. Taulbee—I do not believe we will disagree; and I submit to the gentleman from Illinois that the object of the recommitment is for the parpose of correcting whatever mistakes may ave been made in the testimony, and for the purpose of further considering whether or not the committee should take further action. I desire to state that I represent the minority of the committee. Mr. Baker (N. Y.)—My friend is the minority. _ Mr. Reed—How many are there in the minor- ity? Mr. Taulbee—I am the minority of the com- mittee. Mr. Townshend—What is the majority of the committee? Mr. Blount—I appeal to the gentleman from | Kentucky-—— The Speaker—This matter is not debatable except by unanimous consent, Mr. Randall—I object to debate. Mr. Blount—I do not desire to debate the question, but simply to state to my friend from Kentucky that I yielded to him, as I under- stood, to ask conseut to have the report printed. I now ask bim to withdraw it, as it seems likely to lead to protracted debate. Mr. Taulbee—I did not bring about any pro- tracted debate; it is not my fault. The aker—The question is on the recom- mittal of the re; The question was taken; and on a division there were—ayes 59, noes 73. Mr. Taulbee—I make the point that no quo- rum has voted, and pending that, I demand the yeas and nays. WANTED TO KNOW HOW TO VOTE. Mr. Cheadle arose and demanded @ state- ment of the question, that he might know how to vote. Somebody cried him down. He again shouted his demand: “Mr. Speaker, I desire to vote understandingly on the question that is submitted, and ask for a statement of the question.” The a chair has already stated it. Mr. Cheadle—There has been no statement to the re 1am asked to recommit a re- port whieb I do not know anything about. The Speaker—The gentleman has the right to have it read. ©. Cheadle—Then I demand the reading of the report. Mr. Baker (N. Y)—I ask by unanimous con- sent the report of the majority be read, and . I think. will satisfy everybody. ‘The Speaker—There is no report but that of the majority. In the reading of the report, Mr. Taulbee. on the demand of the gentieman from Indiana, does that also include the reuding of the vie of the minority? The Speaker—It does not. Mr. Taulbee—I ask by unanimous consent they be in connection with the report. Mr. Randall—I object. Mr. Browne (Ind.)—Let the evidence be Fead in connection with this report. (Laughter. tinh: Baker (N. ¥.)—That will take too mue ime. Mr. Crisp.—Pending that, if all that mass of papers at the desi is to be read, I call up the contested-election case. Mr. Baker (N. Y.)—That is the testimony. ‘The reading of this bill will not take long. The clerk then read the majority report. Mr. Taulbee demanded the reading of the proof, as it had been made a part of the ma- jority report. The Speaker decided that TESTIMONY WAS NOT A PART OF THE REPORT. Mr. Taulbee said: I think that as they have referred to the proof in their report, it becomes @ part of the report; and I dare say the gen- men will readily understand how it would be unfair for the House to vote on the ‘THE DIFFICULTIES MR. TAULRER ENCOUNTERED. “Mr, Speaker,” he said, “I shall content my- self with a single additional observation, and that is that members doubtless have been cog- nizant of the difficulties which I have encoun- tered at every step looking to this investigation, from the introduction of first resolution on the first bill day of the nt session down to thistime, I now to say that I am willin, that the House may take this matter and deal with it as they deem proper, I, however, hav- ing the consciousness that I have discharged the duty which devolved upon me to the best of my ability. If some gentleman desires to speak upon the ide I reserve the re- mainder of mbes If not, Iam willing that we shall now have a vote. Mr. Baker, of New York—Vote. The question was taken on the motion to postpone the report indefinively, and it was agreed to—ayes 57, noes 34, oo —_—_- NEWS GATHERING AT WASHING- TON. The Local Reporters What They Do. The last number of the New York Journalist contains the following letter from Washington; “To me there is more pleasure in the perusal of the Journalist, week after week, than in the reading of the more pretentious but less valu- able aggregations of literary effort, and one of the principal sources from whence my delight springs can be found in the fact that the mat- ter printed in your columns is either interest- ing and apparent fiction or else clean-cut fact. It is but rarely that I fail to secure a copy of the Journalist as soon as possible after its pub- lication, but I did miss reading the holiday number until a few days ago. I had laid it aside for careful perusal at the first greets ity, but hard work and procrastination pre- sea my sceing it until couple of days fai Of course I was —— with the bright, readable ‘special,’ and I was more than ordi- narily interested in the page contributed by George Grantham Bain, and entitled ‘News- thering at Washington.’ I was intereste Beonave Yor many years I bethany. ag col an er ist of the pop! the ca eal“ oite Knowing Me. Bain as I do, his sketch was somewhat of a sur- prise; it wae so manifestly unfair to the local press. “Mr. Bain has made an ay tly careful but @ venomously unjust classification of the news- gatherers in this city. Three classes of news- peper upper-tendom are described, and then ¢ author stoops from his ap ‘estate and con- descends to men of such low degree as we poor local folk. Of us he os The reporters for the daily papers—the hack-writers for the daily journals here—form another class of newsgath- erers, a small but distinct fraternity. Some of them ave the correspondents of unimportant out-of-town papers. They are scarcely greater in numbers or importance the members of the fifth class—the employes of the govern- ment—who vary their clerical duties by actin; as occasional correspondents for papers ia sma! towns. “This statement is really very far from the facts in the case, and for the benefit of your readers I will make;public some of the informa- tion which was doubtless in Mr. Bain’s pos- session when he penned his sketch, but which he did not use. There are in this city not less than seventy men who live almost entirely off the results of their labor on the local press, and none of these men work directly for either of the press associations. Of this little company of three-score and ten, five-sevenths are em- ployed on the four daily papers; the balance | will be found on the Sunday sheets, And yet Mr. Bain would have the readers of the Journal- ist believe that as newsgathers this force—far reater in number than any of his other classes’—amounts to nothing, and is un- worthy of amoment’s consideration. With a loftiness peculiarly his own he says that the | news field is completely covered by the press | associations (for one of which he is a reporter), and these, he insists, look after even the Dis- trict courts and the police department. “Their work alone,’ he continues, ‘would almost suffice for the news service of a Washington paper, and in point of fact the Morning and | Evening Post (the latter is now the Critic) and Tux Evextxa Star depend largely upon the associations for their local news.’ To let such absurd statements as these go unchallenged would be for us to confess combined cowardice and idiocy. “In Tae Evenrna Stan of to-day there are exclusive of the Associated Press’ oe re- tof the Senate and House proceedings, hf hundred and fifteen purely local items, and of these two hundred and nine were fur- nished by seventean membersof Tue Srar staff. That is a fair average and it does the Associated Press no injustice; we cover a field untouched by that or any other press associa- tion, and instead of Tue Stan being depend- ent upon the associations for its local news it is the associations who look to Tue Sras for much that they need to complete their Wash- ington service. I do not mean to aver that the Associated Press sent in but six local items to- day; it probably sent in arty, but forty-two of them had been captured by Srar reporters, and the copy was in the office before the Asso- ciated Press got their story on the wire. “Ask any honest correspondent in this ci where is ‘his never-failing source of news! Where does he get the groundwork for his ‘specials?’ and he will immediately reply, Taz Evanixo Stan. Watch the editors of the press associations between 4 and 5 p.m. on any week ~ and see how busy the shears are in the columns of that paper which Mr. Bain alleges depends largely upon the association for ite local news. “Only two or three hours since I heard the brainy representative of a metropolitan daily say: ‘If somebody would only, without pre- vious warning. buy up an entire evening's edi- tion of both Srar and Critic, the home offices of @ hundred papers would cry in vain that night for anythmg beyond three or four bun- dred words.’ Even the newsboys know this, for one of them trotted along Newspaper Row the other evening yelling out, Yere’s yer Eventy’ Srar! Yere’s the corr’spondent’s friend! much to the amusement of some of the waiting correspond- ents. “Tf Mr. Bain had only claimed that the special correspondents and the attaches of the press associations were more beautiful of feature and graceful in movement than we poor ‘local’ men, then I should have meekly held my peace, but when he charged us with being idle and weak-minded and unimportant factors in our little cy <4 world, and when he said that we depended upon any press associa- THEIR LITTLE LIST. Removals Made by the Commissioners, and Some Novel Reasons Assigned. THEIR ANSWER TO THE SENATE RESOLUTIONS— ALL THE EMPLOYES OF THE DISTRICT GOVERN- ‘MENT REMOVED BY THE PRESENT COMMISSION- ERS—THEIR EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN OasES, The Senate was yesterday afternoon placed 1m possession of a list of removals and sp- pointments made by the District Commission- ers during the past three years. The list was furnished in response to a resolution of the Senate calling upon the Commissioners for such information as is contained in the reply... The Commissioners say full and sufficient reasons for some of the changes are not given because the records of the office are defective as to those cases, and the Commissioners have given such reasons as, they say, their recollections justify. A number of the resignations in the list were not voluntary, but there is nothing to distinguish such resignations from the others where no reason is given. Following is the complete return: Adam Lowe, messenger, removed; 8. C. Dickinson appointed. F. W. Patton, laborer, removed, unsatisfac- tory service; Adam Lowo appointed, Jas. E.

FOUR MILLION OF IT SAID TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN NEW YORK FOR SHIPMENT TO GEN. HIPPOLYTE. Some weeks ago Minister Preston, of Hayti, received a note from one of the New York bank note companies declining to make a certain batch of Haytian stock and paper currency. Minister Preston had never asked to have this work done, and his suspicions were accordingly aroused and detectives were te to work. They say that they discovered that two agents of Hippolyte in New York ordered nearly >4,000,- 000 in bank notes of various denominations to be anexact copy of Haytian bank notes, as- serting that the money was to be made genuine as soon as it reached Hayti. According to Minister Preston two large bundles of Crisp bills are now on on their way to Hippolyte. They were shipped on the Clyde, which sailed Saturday. The minister described the boxes i “Lithographs,” ly ifest de- veloped the fact that two boxes of lithographs were among her cargo. A representative of one of the bank note companies stated that certain parties had tried to have some Haytian money printed by the company. but the com- pany declined.
