SESSIONS DENIES. ALIIANY , June 15. The bribery in- ycstigation was resumed this morn ing. The cross-examination of Sena tor Sessions was continued , Ho tes tified in substance that ho had no knowledge of any legislator's vote being - ing influenced by peruniary consider ations. Ho had no reason to believe that Bradloy's could bo so influenced. Ho rehearsed an interview with Bradley on the night of the 8th of June , when Bradley charges the bribe was paid. Sessions denied that ho ever offered a bribe to anyone for any purpose. A SQUAlti ; DENIAL. ALDINY , June 15. The Bradley investigating committee resumed its session at 3 o'clock , Sessions on the stand. Ho repeated the statements heretofore published about incidents I i of the evening of Juno 8th , at Kenmore - more ; said that at neither of the visits ? , ho made to Woodm'a or Barbor's room was there any talk or allusion to influencing Bradloy's vote by tlio use of money ; witness fully and explicitly denied that at the time ho left Bradley at the elevator to go up stairs ; ho said to Bradley , "If you vote for Depew , I have one thousand dollars for you to put in your vest pocket , " and as Bradley testified , when Bradley refused ho ( Sessions ) said , "I will go up and sec what is the best that can be done. " Witness gave a detailed statement of his con ncction with the passage of the post- office bill in 1801 ; witness said many legislators and committecmcn urged the passage of tlio bill by ar gumcnt , but never gave or offered any financial consideration. It was not necessary , the bill passed unanimously. Witness never in all the nine or ton years in which he fol lowed the business of lobbying in Al bany over pursued any other course ; never in his lifo had ho given or of fered or promised uuy Pinan" ' ' v ai sidoration to any member for support of a bill in which ho was interested ; no man that over lived , or that now lived , could truthfull } day that ho had ever at tempted to influence legislation by the improper use of money , for ho never had done so. While witness was lobbying ho was not a member of the legislature. His brother , Walker hi * L. Sessions , was a member in 1851 and 1855 , a senator from 1801 to 18G7 , And a congressman from 1871 to 1875. At this point Sessions was allowed to rest. uonEUT u. rnuiiN of the Albany National Commercial bank was sworn.

Barbers , on the Utica bank ; had the teller cash it ; the proceeding was not a secret one , not unusual but altogether regu lar. DANIEL W. WEMI'LK , cashier of the Now York State Nation al bank , was next called. Ho corro borated the testimony of Pruhn and gave tlio statement of Edwards' stand ing with the bank ; Edwards objected to a note of exchange and took the check and wont away ; was sure the day was the 10th of Juno.

Ho said Barbor's room was resorted to by men of all shades of politics , by members and senators ; witness never saw Tillini'haBt , . of the Now York Central railroad , in Barbor's room. C'OL. YOUNC , assemblyman , was next sworn. Ho voted for Treinaino and Lapliam ; all i the time know that Edwards was a ii lobbyist ; Edwards had several times i talked to witness about the senatorial candidates ; . Edwards had said to witness that his preference was Dopew ; Edwards had made sugges tions that it would bo to witness' personal interest to vote for Dopow ; had not specified just how it would ; several times Edwards had said that fr < if witness would vote for Depow ho would bo treated as well as the others ; Kd wards had never said just how well others would bo treated , and HO wit ness did not know ; witness know Surveyor Graham , of the port of Now York ; hajjiad two or three times asked witness to vote for Do pew ; once witness asked Graham to give Gen. Chriplor the same place ho formerly hold in the custom house ; Graham , after asking witness for Do pow , said ho regarded the general as efficient , and the general should have h s old place in the custom house if ho ( Graham ) could secure it for him ; witness was a grand army of the re public man , and was looking out after its interests when ho votca for Tro- inaino , who belonged to it. M'KAKKU NlIAIll'E KECAI.LED. Ho said ho was not in the room in the Dolavan the night Bradley came there with the money by any arrange ment ; did not expect Bradley and had no understanding with him pre vious to the evening ; could not re member who were present in the room during the evening , or what conversa tion , if any , took place ; witness men tioned several who called , but was alone for a few minutes when Bradley . nnd Jones called ; witness thought those who called previously to the visit of Bradley , did not sit down and talk ; Bradley and Jones did ait down . as men who came with a purpose ; witness thought it took him a minute to count the money ; witness , who had been engaged in a conspiracy , would have certainly remembered every detail of the conspiracy , but was not engaged in anything of the kind , and was not in the room to receive Bradloy.

Tlio Vandorbllt Wnr on Now Rend * . National AMOcUtml Prcs . CiiH'Auo , Juno 15. It is learned .his morning that the report siibmit- od at yesterday's meeting of the Southwestern railroad association with view to the statement of the freight : iool , provides for the reorganisation of the pool on a basis similar to the pres ent one. The new territory along the Missouri river mid south thorof , is to be taken in , and the general ( iii'stion of percentages loft for the general managers to settle. The main light is on the clause providing for the taking in of more territory. This is vigorously opposed by the Missouri 1'arilic and Burlington. The former setting up the claim that Imsiiii'ss from itn line reachil g into Kun.s.i.s , Nebraska , etc. , had notliin , , to do with the pool , and they should reinlin outside. The Burlington's plea regarding its Nebraska branch was on similar grounds. Consideration of these questions was resumed at ton o'clock this mo.ning. It is not con sidered by any means certain that the question of new territory can bo ami cably Bottled. In the event that it is generally considered that the question of uercentagcs will be a bar to the proposed reorganisation of the south western pool , the roads are fighting for a larger share of percentage than rightly belongs to them. CiiiUAiio , Juno 15. - The South western Railway association mot again In-day but failed to reach any decision on the plan submitted by the commit tee for settlement of the difficulties under discussion. Very little interest was manifested in the matter , there being small representation present. The association finally adjourned to the first Wednesday in July. Com missioner Ridgoly is authority for the statement that it is very doubtful if the Southwestern freight or passenger rates will prove very satisfactory. NEW YOUK , Juno 15.It having boon shown that the established tarill on grain is not maintained by all the railroad lines , Commissioner Fink , unib i ; the agreement of March llth , lias HTftmjriaocl'a general reduction engrain grain rates on tlio basis of twenty cents per hundred from Chicago to New York. If this rate is not main taincd a further reduction will bo au thorised to meet the lowest special rate that may bo made until such a time as all the roads are willing to maintain higher rates and make them to all shippers bet ween the same lo calities. This action is taken to pre vent unjust indiscrimination between shippers from the same or different localities. No other classes of freight except grain and the 8th class are'af footed by this reduction. Rates may bo increased without previous ton days notice. WAR TO THE KNIKK. NKW YOUK , Juno 15. The weak ness in the Trunk line shares this afternoon is said to bo duo to an un derstanding that Yanderbilt has changed his tactics against the build ers of rival roads and annihilating all construction companies that are con templated in sections traversed by hi properties. Private advices from Chicago cage intimate that grain is being shipped at 17 cents agaiiidt the official quotation of 20 cents issued by Commissioner Fink. This morning Vanderbilt proposed t ( reduce rates to 15 cents , if necessary , and railroad men believe the prcsoni departure indicates a permanent rate of from 15 to 20 cents , so that new corporations will bo forced to do losing business , and that the money being put into construction companies ios will bo all absorbed by improlita bio freight rates. FINK TO THK PHONT. NEW YOHK , Juno 15. Tlio rumors that have been in circulation fur sev eral weeks that the Trunk line of rail roads were not abiding by the pooling agreement , but were cutting rates , were fully confirmed by Commissioner Fink , who authorized a general reduc tion of grain rates on the basis ol twenty cents pur hundred pounds from Chicago to Now York , "If this rate is not maintained , " said Fink , "further reduction will ho authorized to moot the lowest special rates. " II lias boon known for more than month past that special contracts wen made by the Erie road for special merchants in the grain trade , rates being as low as eighteen and twenty cents per hundred from Chicago. By reason of these special contracts favored parties have boon enabled to manipulate the market just as they chose , and there lias boon much dis satisfaction anioiif , ' those who fool themselves discriminated agdnst. Re ceipts of grain by the Krio road in May wore 2,244,003 bushels ; only ! i5107 bushels less than the aggregate receipts of all the other roads , It is expected that at the mooting of man- agora of the pool roads to-morrow sumo action will bo taken against the Krio , and it is rumored that there wil probably bu u disruption of the pool. The Krio people feel indifferent as they anticipate soon securing an independent pendent through line to Chicago. INFLATION.

Ho says nothing h.is ) cen determined on in reganl to any mniodiato removal or change in the lopartment. CONDITION or TIM : cuor. The returns to the agricultural do- tartmcnt show a total increase of irea planted to be less than one per cent lower than last year. Heports were as follows : Forty-one counties in l orth Carolina , an average increase of 'our per cent ; sixteen counties in South Carolina report an average the same as hist year ; seventy counties in Georgia give an increase of two per cent ; fifteen counties in Florida give i decrease of three per cent ; thirty- : our in Alabama give a decrease of ; wo per cent ; forty-one in Mis sissippi give the same average' acreage ; 14 in Louisiana give an in crease of 3 per cent ; G ! ) in Texas give in increase of 2 per cent ; 2Jt in Ar kansas increase 1 per cent ; 17 comities n Tennessee report an average of 3 per cent increase. The condition is much lower , being 03 this year against DO last year at the same time , and ' . ) ( ! in 1870. The weather is generally re ported to wet and cold , the crop con sequently is very backward. The spring wheat acreage shows a large decline since lost year , The area reported to this department is only 80 per cent. , of that sown in 1880. The r'mdition , however , is fully equal to ttfai of lasi year at the .same time. Winterwhoal is reported at an average for the whole country of only 70. The principal complaints are from Michigan , Indi ana and Illinois , whore , added ti most unfavorable weather , there is yroat damage from chinch bugs , ami hessiaii fly. California reports ver } low condition caused by cold weather and drought. PENSION AND LAND OFFICES. In regard to the rumored appoint ment of a now commissioner of pen sions and land office , the president said to-day ho fiad reached no dec ! sion. Secretary Kirk wood said to day that the president ami lie dis cussed last night the subject of com missioners of pensions ami of the lam" office , and that the president evident ly did not desire to make changes in the pension office at present. Air , Dudley , of Indiana , stands ahead for the land office vacancy. I'lTNEV's I'AltDS. The effect of the treasury investiga lion is apparent outside the department mont , oven though the secretary re fuses to niako public the report. Tin sum of 8100 was to-day turned inti the treasury by an outsider , who hai bought horses of Pitney , manager o the treasury contingent fund. This restitution was made because of thu warmth of the scent. A city book seller yesterday turned into the treasury ury $050 for overpayment for fih holders. A city dealer has roturnei a lot of carpeting which the committee too were looking up. A hardware firm has made restitution to the amount of 8300 , All i f this was oi account of the investigation of tin committee. This straightening up o such matters is considered well enough but it is certain that novoral resignations tions must bo requested bye and bye inasmuch as the nature of the roper demands them.

James Wilson , for many years oiinccted with the l ondon press , and specially The Daily Chronicle , on hich paper ho was employed in the ipacity of a parliamentary reporter , las been in Omaha for a short time ast with the intention of locating lore. In his capacity as a newspaper man nil especially as a short-hand writer 10 has frequently been brought in ( intact with noted Englishmen. In a eouvorration had with Mr. Vilson last evening a reporter of TIIK KK was given some information bout the manner of public speakers iat will no doubt prove of general iterest. The first personage taken up was 10 late Lord Bcaconstiold. Mr. Wil- m describes him as having been tall , ith a long face and very sallow com- loxiou. At the time Mr. Wilson last eported him he had an aged appoar- nco. Ho wore side whiskers and a ointed beard. His brows were eotled and his entire countonanoo vas of a decidedly Jewish cast. A cculiarily oftLonl Heaconsfield was hat ho almost invariably were a pair f plaid trousers. As a public speaker 10 was very fluent and rapid in his do- ivory. When excited , especially in us denunciation of Gladstone's meas- ires , ho frequently spoke at the rate f two hundred words a minute. Ho isually began to speak rath- r quietly but was not eng in warming up. His nunciation was excellent. It was generally considered a dillicult undor- akim ; to make a verbatim report of juo of bis addresses , and it was nec essary that a short-band man bo able .o write two hundred Avords a minute ; ) oforo he could iimlorfako tlio task , lie was persuasively eloquent , BOUIO- .imcs sarcastic and usually carried his icarors with him. Gladstone is a tall man , but not so ; all its his great rival , Disraeli , was. Ho is heavily set and wears side whis- vcrs. Ho is thoroughly English in UH make-up ami dresses plainly , oven negligently. When making jublic iddrcsscs his delivery is usually excel- out , but occasionally very rapid. It night bo said of him that ho speaks like abook. Thogrammatical construe .ion of his speeches is excellent , and each word is always found to bo in the right place. In writi.ig out a vor latini Hhort-hand report of his speed no revision or change of words are over neci-ssary. Lord Salisbury , who was recently brought into great prominence by bis part in the attempted solution of the astern question , has a very aristo c.iatie looking and statesman-like ippearunco. He is tall and slender , with fair complexion , sandy hair , and wears a full board. Ho is what might l > o called a polished speaker. Ho is careful and deliberate in his delivery , hut nevertheless his speeches need considerable dressing up , The thoroughly English appearance of the Prince of Wales is HO wol' known as to bo unnecessary to men- Lion. It may bo remarked that since IUH attack of typns fuvor several yrars ago ho is perfectly bald , except for a narrow rim of hair. Ho is a rather pleasant speaker at heavy dinners or at igro.it ceremonials. His style , while perfectly grammatical , is both stilted and stereotyped. His little addresses have a very conventional tone and never indicate any great depth. His delivery is in the conversational style and very easy to report. Lord John Russell is a very short and in fact rather u squatty-looking personage. Such little of his hair at has not disappeared in baldness is gray in color. Ho is a very poor declaimer - claimer and "hems" and "haws" great deal , Hiu voice in weak am ! pitched in a high key and is frequent ly reported "inaudible" by thogallory moil. moil.Henry l abouchro , the noted editor of Truth , is of French descent. Hi is tall , wears a full auburn board urn presents a very gentlemanly appear ance , Indioss ho iscjuito fiistidious , Ho looks like a thorough English ar istocrat. By profession ho a is lawyei and in the many libel suits that huvi boon brought agahuit liim/dwaystakea charge of his own case. A * those who read his paper are aware In comes out very plainly in the matter o social abuses , and actions for libel aru very frequently brought against him Individually ho is poor , but the publii sustains him , and when damages an awarded the amount is readily raisoi by subscription. In parliament ho ii an accomplished and polished speaker , Ho frequently works himself into r high state of excitement. Then hi enunciations are very rapid and difli cult to follow. His style is ver : pleasing but frequently short and | Miintocl. Ho is often amusing and is full of illustrative anecdotes. Sir Charles Dilko is cf medium height and neither dark nor light complexioncd. Ho wears a full board and short-cut bair. In personal ap pearance ho greatly roaombles a well- to-do tradesman. Ho is a very earnest and business-like speaker. His style in devoid of all bombast. Ho uses plain matter of fact language that is iiAsily understood. Sir Stafford Northcoto is a tall man with mustache and side whiskers. Ho dresses in the height of fashion nnd presents a very stylish appearance. Ilu is considered a good parliamenta ry s ] > cakor , but is not much liked by the roH | > rtors on account of his rapid utterances and frequent indistinct- ness. Charles Bradlaugh , the loader of the working classes , has a very unattract ive countenance. Ho is quite tall , with a rather fierce look nnd military bearing , acquired in the army , whore ho served as a private soldier. Ho has a dark complexion. His atheistic utterances first brought him into prom inence , nnd no doubt have something to do with his popularity among his constituency. In speaking ho is very deliberate. His sentences are well- rounded and of good grnmatical con struction. Dean Stanley , one oft ho Bible re vision committee and a great personal friend of Queen Victoria , is not more than live feet four inches in height. Ho is thin , wiry and inoffensive look ing. His face irf narrow and short- pointed. The dean wears a thin pair of sidowhiskors , nnd althgother has a very benevolent cast o countenance , lo is popular on account of his well- nown benevolence. Ho is liberal in his icological views , and stately and niiiipaHsioncd in the pulpit. John Uright ii : of medium ntaturo , ' a florid complexion and light ide whisker * . Ho given one the idea f an English country gentleman. Ho s much liked by the reporters , being [ oar in his utterances and never get- 'ng excited. His speeches can al- ays be reported without revision. Charles Stewart Parnoll , the ac- nowledgod loader of thu present Irish gitation , is a very hftndsomo man. lo is nicely built , erect in carriage nd has well'rounded limbs. Ho ears a full set of brown whiskers , art jd at the chin and brushed care- ully to either side. Although ne of his ancestors , Commodore itowarl. was an American , Par- icll has a thoroughly English Dok. Ho is somewhat reserved in lis manner but refined and courteous , lo baa a pleasant blue eye , but shows limsolf a pretty thorough business nan. As a speaker ho would bo re- ; ardod as a typical Englishman , that a , ho is both unexcitable and uniin- lassioned. Ho is not an eloquent poaker and is less graceful on thu tago than in the drawing-room. His eniarks would seldom move an audi inco to a high pitch of enthusiasm , lowovor ho addresses their common etiso , is a cogent rcasoner and quite irgiiineiitativo in his style. Ho is horoughly earnest in his iindurtiiKi . , in.H'lrfS accounts for much of the HUC- icss ho has.achieved. . . FOREIGN NOTES. I I'rutH. AMITIIKU HAM. LONDON , Juno 15.

The Notorious Outlaw of New Mexico Starts on Another Murdering Tour , Three Cowboys Killed in Ono Attack to Satisfy an Old Dobt. Sixteen Stiff * Alrordv Scored. Ornvrr Ufiul ) > llcan , Jimp II. It is now evident that "Billy the Kid , " the notorious Now Mexico out law and murderer , intends to pursue his career of crime to the death. His latest murderous depredation is given in the subjoined extract from the letter - tor of a New Mexican correspomh-nb at Itoswoll , Lincoln county , New- Mexico : _ ' Jloswull is just now somewhat agi tated 'iver a piece of news brought in from the Panhandle by a Mexican. It relates to New Mexico's firebrand , "Billy the Kid , " and as such will pre sumably bo interesting. Last Thursday , so the story of a , Mexican goes , the escaped desperado rode up to a cow camp 'of John Chisuin u , the well-known cattle man , in the Panhandle , in which there worn four cow-boys. Three were \ seated around a fire ; cooking supper , while the fourth , Bennett Howell , was. hobbling his horse , about twenty yards from the lire , Billing up to the latter , "Kid" inquired - 'aro you working for old John Chisuml" "Yes , " was the reply. "Thou hero's your pay , " a bullet from "the kid's pistol piercing his brain at the name timo. Seeing the murder of their comrade , the other cow-boys sprang to their feetj but before - fore they could draw their six-shoot ers , that , of the killer had exploded twice again , and two more of the cow-boys fell. Pulling down on the one remaining , the murderer shouted "Hold up ! " The command was promptly obeyed. "Now , " continued Billy , " I want you to live to take a message to old John Chisum for mo. Toll him that during thu war ho promised to pay mis five dollars a day for fighting for him. I fought for him and never got a cent. Now I intend to kill his men where- over I moot thorn , giving him credit for- live dollars ovury time I drop one , , until the debt is squared , or , if I hap pen to meet him before , I'll kill him and call the whole account settled , i" " linji f "o\v is to got oven nth , iy uurniios , and 1 uxpuct to bi ntho country until I do that. " "Tho Kid" then rode away toward. lie Pccos , and the cow-boy , after sec- ng that his friends were dead , made 11 hosto to the nearest camp , whore his old his story and secured assistanci * o bury the bodies of the murdered nen. While this story may bo , and prob- bly is , somewhat exaggerated , still it s certainly true in its mum facts , so ir as your correspondent , by lose investigation , M able to .Bcertain. It seem to bu morally thought in this country that ( illy is hiding at tlu present time omowhero between this place and 'uorto do Luna , watching the move- nonts of Pat Garrett , who , it is said , B about the only man in the country vith "norvo" enough lo follow him ilono and waiting his opportunity to jot in a blow at his real or supposed , enemies. This makes sixteen men .hat are known to have died at the lands of r'tho kid. " Chisum , it will bo remembered , wax .ho leader of one of the sides in the jloody war between tlio Lincoln county cattle men in 1878. When this trouble broke out Chisum hired the Kid as a soit of lieutenant , promising ; o pay him 85 a day , ' as stated. The lvid did valiant work , if you could do- lominatu success as a murder by such term , killing several men , it Is claimed , on the opposite side. When lie trouble was concluded Chisum ro- iisod to fulfill his contract for pay vith the Kid , and put up a job to lave the young desperado assassin- ted. Those attempts all failed , how ever , and the Kid in turn commenced slaughtering his enemies , a number of whom are included in the list of those tilled by him since.
