The urgent deficiency bill as reported to the Senate by the committee on appropristions contains a number of amendments to the House bill The marine conference comes in for 35,000 not provided for in the original bill. This is at the request of the State department, the original appropriation being inadequate for the purpose.

The Joint Congressional Committee Going to New York—A Denial. ‘The Senate and House committees on imufi- gration held a joint meeting this morning. The agreement previously made by Chairmen Chandler and Owen was formally ratified. Under thisarrangement the committees will leave Washington next Friday morning for New York and hold an informal meeting that etening at the Fifth Avenue hotel. At that time they will receive all persons who may desire to present propositions respecting the location of the immigrant landing station, The governor of New Jersey and mayor of Jer- sey City will be invited to appear and atate their objections to the use of Bedloe Island for this purpose and their arguments in favor of the selection of Ellis Island. Saturday and Monday, if necessary, will be occupied in visiting the several islands under consideration and inspecting the work at Castle Garden. Invitations were received by the com- mittee to visit New York and meke the inspec- tion under the auspices of the New York state immigration commissioners, but the trip will be made independent of invitations from any source, CONGRESSMAN COVERT DENIES. Congressman Covert read a paragraph from 8 New York paper of Sunday which stated that he bad on Saturday inspected the work at Castle Garden and at the conclnsion thereof he wrote his colleagues on the immigration com- mittee that the charges made by Secreta Windom must have been conceived in a spirit of, oppcsition to the commissioners, rather than a desire for the public good. Mr.Covert denied the truth of the statement, saying that he had not been at Castle Garden, as stated, and that he had not expressed in any way any such sentiments as the article imputed to him, A request wiil be made by the committeo that @ representative from each, the War, Navy and Treasury departments. be detailed to accompany snp ilegee ve on its trip, An investigation of immigration question gen- erally, if it shall be decided upon, will be held later, BALLOT BOX INVESTIGATION. Witnesses Before the Special House Committee Today. When the apecial House committee sp- pointed to investigate the Ohio ballot box forgery met this morning Mr. Kurtz, late pri- vate secretary to Gov, Foraker, was present. The cross-examination of A, C. Sands was con- tinued. In answerto Mr. Kurtz witness de- nied that he had met Representative Grosvenor at Logan September 29 or that he had had a conversation of any length with Mr. Kurtz before he went into the governor's office September 30, Witness had not stated that Kurtz requested him to destroy his letter re- specting the Commercial-Gazette publication, bift wished to know what had become of it. Dad not remember telling him that Wood could give him information about the ballot box matter. MR, KURTZ THEN TOOK THE STAND and said that last Saturday morning he had telegraphed Chairman Mason to hold Mr. Sands until he conld produce an important letter. That evening he had concluded to come Sar. Sands’ statement that he called at the Gibson house in answer to his (Kurtz’s) letter did not agree with witness’ belief, as six weeks had inter- vened. The witness then read a statement he had prepared in explanation of his reasons for stating to Mr. Sands that he was not responsi- ble for the publication. Atthat time he did not recollect that he had told*of Mr. Sands’ communication respecting the ballot box matter to Mr. rhs a Dewspaper reporter, who had in turn told Mr. Halstead. The witness then repeated and insisted on the correctness of his testimony, which apparently had been contradicted by Mr. Sands respecting their conversation in the governor's office, HE FLATLY DENIED that Sands had told him to caution the gov- ernor against Wood. What he had said was that Wood could tell all about the contract, but tat he was bad character and he (Kurtz) would have to be careful about him. Mr. Sands stated at this point that he was sincerely sorry to be compelled to differ with his old frie: Gov. Foraker and Mr. Kurtz, and It was not to be expected that recollections you agree agua ies ak coe = whic! on ae was deeply and personally in- brome and the other Tnverested only as a Di GEORGE WEBBER OF CINCINNATI testified that he had known Wood for fifteen or eighteen years, and told how he had sought to interest witness in his ballot box company in the summer of 1888, i that sentative Campbell was’ te nas bril to secure the use of the box by the governor and Representative Grosvenor was ta take care of the republican side of the House.
