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. New a man called
" Charley" Kdwards ; saw Kdwards at
the bank on the fourth of June ; - Edwards
wards came into witnesses room and
presented a check for 82,000 ; the
check was one ofV. . S. 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.
SESSIONS I.ECALLEI ) .
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.

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.

The reported resignation of Assis-
ant Secretary Upton , of the treasury ,
is an outgrowth of the official inves-
igation in the a Hairs of Custo-
lian Pitney , is without foundation.
Ucording to the statements nf that
tcntlcman himself and Stvrotary

lay. Secretary Windoin has iwivod
i preliminary report of the invesligat-
ng committee. 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.

'rnm Lord Bonooimflold to Clmrlos
Stownrt Parnoll
Air. 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 ,

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 ,

ully to either side. Although

; ardod as a typical Englishman , that
a , ho is both unexcitable and uniin-

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.
