The special railroad committee room waa more than usually crowded yesterday after * noon showing that the interest in this Important Investigation is unabated. Mr. Galoy called for Mr. Edward Rosewater , editor of THE BEK , and a discussion aroae as to whether he should ba allowed to testify there or wait until after witnesses from Omaha hod been examined. The committee finally decided to heai Mr. Rosewater first. first.Mr. Mr. Roaiiwator being duly sworn testified as follows : Question. Mr , Rotowater yon may tate all the facts you know in relation to what connection if any THE OMA HA BIK hua to the U. P. R. R. Co. , or ever had , and what Interest the U. P. R. R. Co. , ever had in TUB BEE ? Answer. Well , I have to state that neither the U. P. R. R nor any cor poration excepting Tun BEE Publish Ing Co. , have ever had any interest In TUB OMAHA BEE , or ever owned any share of stock in It. If the commit tee permits 1 will give my version con cerning the teatimony given here by Ms. Kimball as to my relation to th U. P. and the alleged attempt to con trol THK BEK by that corporation or by Mr. Jay Gould. Mr. Galey. Go on and state all the facts. Mr. Rosewater : Well I think U wan Borne time after the election of Senator Sannderi. In the summer of 1877 , that' Senator Paddock , while I waa at Washington , came to me and made mo the proposition that I should be the managing editor of the Na tional Republican. He stated that Mr. Gould thought that I was a tal ented man , competent to manage a newspaper , and that I could fiud a much batter field at Washington thar I had in Nebraska. I told him that I appreciated the compliment , but knew that I could fight on my own dung hill a good dual bettor than 1 could there , and I'did not think it waj host that I should outer into ne gotiations. It waa some time af ier , I think in the winter of ' 78 , or the firs * part of ' 78 , Senators Paddock aad Saunders , while I waa at Waahiutfto cauio to mo and said that In their opinion it was a very important matter tor that fie tvo republican dalliei in Omaha should be consolidated ; that thera was a constant light going 01 tbore , ana that BO long as that con tinned there would ba NO HARMONY IN TUB PARTY. I said I was willing , if the proper negotiations were made , and I waa lift In control. Senator Saunders said that he understood that a ptrt of Tlie Omaha Ropnbllcan waa owned by the Union Pacific , and he wanted ine to go on to Now York to find out what arrangements could be made. I waa the sole owner of TUE BEE at that time , and The Republican waa owned by the Tribune company. Ij went to New York a few days later , and while at the Aator house Mr. Saundera came to me aud said that ho had soon Mr , Gould and they were disposed to part k with their interest in The Republican ; that ho wanted me to go to Union Pacific headquarters and ace what could bo done. I wont with him , and Mr. Gould said they did not own the entire controlling interest. He thought Inasmuch as the newspaper war In Omaha was a losing game that all parties interested in the papers would bo benefitted by a conaolld.i tian , BO tint they could earn money Instead of losing money , and ho BUS- ; Boated that a stock company should be formed , in which Tar BKR and the owners of The Republican should owr about two-thirds , and a third part ; should be found in duo time wh ( would hold tha balance cf power , b < that neither party would control it t I stated that I had never tjlven such i matter consideration , and that I woul < go home and look about aud find ou whether tuch a thing wan feasible Mr. Gould also stated that It would b understood that the entire force c The Ropnbllcan should badiaml se \ and nobody but Mr. Brooks should b retained , I should have THE COMPLETE CONTROL of the concern , and I insisted that bo loft entirely free to continue tt polisy I was pursuing ; that thoi should be no change in that if at arrangement waa made. After I gi : homo. I received a letter from Sonati Baunders , saying if I would call c Mr. Kimball I could got iufornntk of the relative standing of each sloe holder in The Republican , and furthe us my relations with Senator Hitc cock , who had a largo share 'lu tl concern , were not very friendly , was not desired that I should have d rect oommunloition with him. Be went over and gave Mr. Kimball the Information ho wanted , that is , as to the liabilities of JHE BEE , its TO- sources and cenurM infnrmilhn aft to the circulation , it3 I should nU.a that I think af.tr the first or second Interview wo hud four or five. I had looked the matter over and rei\oliod the conclusion that if 1 over allowed third party to have control , that la tb have the balance of power , n time might arise when that party would take awny from ino the control of the paper. I then wrote to Senator Saunders > dors that I would not enter into any arrangement whereby the control of TUB BEE should paas out of my hands. Thereabouts the matter ended. I went to work then ( this Idea of a stock company never before got into my head ) and organized a stock com pany mynelf. I raised $10,000 where by I was able to pay off the debt on the paper and building , and place it on a paid up footing. My brothers were the principal creditors , and they took their pay in stock. No stock wai over given to any railroad com pany , and none was solicited by THE. BEE That was iho end of the nego tiations BO far as I know. TUBRK WAH ANOTHER POINT in the matter I would also state. Before - fore wo rot through , Mr. Kimball said that the ability to get the stock of Mr. Hitchcock depended upon my consent to allow him ( Hitchcock ) to bo ap pointed commissioner general to the Paris exposition an appointment that was then pending , K I gave my con sent , and would not oppose it , Mr. Hitchcock would part with his stock. I Bald I would not do it. I sent my protest to the preaidont , who had al ready consented , on the advice of both senators , ind the appointment was cancelled ; and for that reason Mr. Hitchouck refused to part with his stock. That ends that part of it. Now I will answer Mr. Kimball'i alle gations In THE HATTER OV THE 91,000 CIIKCX , or the $1,000 blackmail. In the spring of 1876 a very active effort was being made In our county to aid in the construction of what was known as the Omaha & Republican Valley narrow gauge railroad. A company had been organized by a number of our citizens and a proposition to issue county bonds Waa pending which all the Omaha dailies advocated. A few days before the commissioners Issued their proclamation Mr. Kimball came to my office in TUB BEE building and said "I will give you $500 if yon will In duce the commission not to itano that ' proclamation. " I said , "Mr. Kimball , it cannot be done oven if I waa willing to do it. I am already committed to that propu attlon and cannot recede. " Next day , however , the two. other papers changed their policy and the Omaha Herald a few days later came out with A TELEGRAM FOR JAY OOULD , in which he said , "If yon dare to give aid to the narrow gauge railroad wo will move the Union Pacific shops from Omaha. " In that fight the forces Of the U. P. opposed the nar row gauge bonds and they were aided by a number of federal officers under the leadership ot Mr. Hitchcock. The bonds curled In 'the city of Omaha but In the country precincts they were defeated. Prevloui to that conteat In the month oi January , I thinly Mr. A. D. Clarke , the purchasing agon ! of the U. P. , stated that they had decided to do their job printing by the year and they wanted ns to compete on a largo amount of job printing to be done during the year A list of different blanks with do Bcriptlou samples , etc. , wore fur- ulshud and bida were made upon them. A few days after that Mr. Clark returned the bids and stated that they weru too high bat that il wo would accept Chicago rates with ten per cent added on number ol blaik thut were th > rj ho wouli hayo the work do no In Omiha. Up to thil time no discrimination was made. Trie throp papcra were given job work onoid\ ] "WE ACCEPTED A BID amounting to $5,400 or $5,000 , I do not roinembor the exact amount. Wo took the order of Mr. Clark A part of that work was done ; about $300 worth. After the narrow gauge fight the railroad company withdrew all printing from THE BEE. And then came the uenatorial fight. Wo kept up a very brisk tire all along the line until after the election. About the 1st of December I went over to Mr. S. H. H. Clark , the general manager , and told him that I was ready to carry out the contract ; that we had the ma terial for the work on hand , and that there were still thirty days left to carry It out. Mr. Clark upbraided me for my war on theU. P. , aud talked about our fight on Mr Hitchcock. I a aid that I had nothing to do with the mat- ter ; that this was a plain matter of business. As ho did not aeura in a pleasant frame of mind , I said I would call again. After Hitchcock was de feated and S lunders elected I called again , and Mr. Clark said I had made such bitter warfare that ho did not be- liuvo that I could get that printing , and that I had abused Jay Gould , nnd it would not do for him to give ua any inoro work. "Shortly before the inauguration ol Hayes I went to Washington , and the llrat day upon my arrival , when I got into the rotunda of the Capitol , I wae slttppod ou the shoulder in a very friendly way , and on looking around 1 saw Mr. Sidney Dillon. Ho said o "HOW ARE YOU , OLD BOY ; a glad to BOO you , " Ac. I wai vorj d much eurprised at his familiar way it Ho went on to cay he would like t < . have a talk with me. I said , you on a.of talk with mo 'right here. Mr. Dllloi of said that they were tired tf the war id fare in Nebraska and they though bo I hat the thing had been mismanage' ' and a good deal of war htirred up thu was damaging , and that they woali like to drop the fight. I said , "Mi Dillon , wo hive no disposition to wag he war if you will only cill ciT your me , ire and stop meddling in politics , and i uy you will give Omaha what thu la en ot titlrd to under her contract with you oren road , aud cave na butter rules over th on brtdgo. While talking ho Bald Gor on Dodge wanted to see mo , and that h sk- was ntopplug at the Rlggs honat The next day I met Mr. Dillon o Pennsylvania avenue. He salt .ho Gen. Dodge wants to see yon and h it is across the way in a carriage. " 3iol crossed the street and Gon. Dodf ol asked mo to call at the Rlggs at 8 ] m. I called as rcqtimtod and had lorg talk. Our couversition Innttd over an honr.Vo tslliud over the oil" Hrn tituatiou. Gen , D > dgo svd Mr. Ivuiballhad mUmanagtd the politic. ) ! ouslntBA in Nebraska ; that they pro posed to abandon thufuht nnd wntitid to bo ou good tnttus with us. I as sured him that there was no disposi tion to continue the war if the com pany wouli only treat our people fairly - ly and atop meddling in politics. Then I talked over my printing claim and told him that Mr. Clark had refused to carry out the contract because I had abused Mr. Gould Gen. Dodge said THAT WOULD BE ADJUSTED if I would come to Now York after the sixth of March. A day or two after the inauguration of Hayrs I went to New York and called at the head quarters of the Union Pacific. Mr. Gould and Mr. Dillon were both thoro. Mr. Dillon , in talking about the contest in Ntbraaka , wanted to know why I waa making personal as saults on Mr. Gould. I replied : "Because Mr , Gould's name served mo much better than yours. Ho Is notorious as a manipulator of legisla tors and congressmen. I made U40 of his name for that purpose. You wont hto this fight and must take the con sequences. " Mr. Gould said that ho did not care about newspaper assaults ; that Dana , In the New York Sun , gave him a column a day. Ho was anxious that TUB WAR IN NEBRASKA SHOULD OEASC , and promised to put a stop to politi cal interference. I then brought up the printing contract. Both Gould and Dillon Bald they would order Mr. Clark to fulfil the contract About two months later Gould and Dillon came to Omaha : As nothing had been done about the printing I called at the headquarters , which was then at the Wyoming house , and sent up my card to Gould and Dillon , I was admitted into the office and met Gould , Dillon and S. H. H. Clark in the room. As I entered Mr. Dillon opened up by saying , "Well , sir you have called us SCOUNDRELS AND BCALLAWAGS , and every other moan name you dm think of , and now yon come here ask ing us a favor. 1 turned around and said , "Mr. Dillon 1 am not here to ask any favor. You have given your word at Wash ington that you wanted to quit this political business. There has boon no cessation of hostilities and if this war continues it will bo a great deal warmer. " "Well , " said Dillon , "wo don't want to have anything to do with you anless you show some spirit of repentance " ance , I retorted , "I told yon In New York , and I repeat it now , that I believed lioved that I was right and have nothing to repent of , and that If I had to fight this battle over again I would do just as I have done In defense of the people. Yon have made yonreell a party in a political campaign and wo have treated your road as a political enemy. " Mr. Dillon Balcf , "Wo don't care about yon ; we can get Mr. Sanndera. " I replied , "Yon may get him , but If you do I will turn the guns anc make the war hotter than ever I have made It. " Mr. Gould then said , "As you aaj you have come purely on business . ' will turn your claim over to Mr Clark , who will settle the matter. " Before and after this Interview there was Interference by Dr. Miller and P. W. Hitchcock. Of course what printing came to me could not tro to the Herald and Republican and they were trying to beat ns out of the work. The matter rested about a month or six weeks , I don't know exactly how lonp. Then I went and employed G. W. Djauo and J. L. Wobater to bring suit , and papers were drawn up. I also called on Mr. Pop- pletou and asked him tojintercodo for a settlement. I niud I did not want to go into a suit with a great corpora tion. Poppleton aald , "I concede yon have a pretty good case , but WE MAY HANO THE JURY , " . A few days later Senator Sanndora arrived from Washington , and ho ask ed if I had got that printing c'aim set tled. Ho said ho had talked with Mr. Dillon and that they had authorized hlmto aayjlfj would take two-thirds of my claim , which was put at $1,500 , I could settle it. He said the manage ment at Omaha are hostile because you have boon at wnrwlth them. Ho waa authorized to Bay If a draft was drawn on Now York , on the president of the road , it would bo honored. I said very well I will take two-thirds , which la $1,000. Tno draft waa drawn In the state bank of Nebraska , In the prneuuco of Mr. Saunders , and Mr. Saunters endorsed it. THEY PAID MK OVER THE MONEY minim $200 which I owed the bank and I wont over to Mr. John Orolgh- ton aud paid him 8CO what I owed him and told him the whole tranBnc'ion. That is all there ia about the blackmailing. Senator Saunden was mlataken when ho said later in the Lincoln Journal that ho paid mo over thu $1,000 He never eaw the monry. llo novel handled it , That ia the whole trans action. In the receipt that acconv panlcd the draft I stated exprosslj that it waa in cancellation for a oluin on printing and that uo politic * ! ob llgatiou of any kind wai onlered intc by mo , BO that there could bo no un fair advantage taken of it. I wai afraid of hn attempt being made t < blackwash mo by making out thai there was something improper in thi translation and I showed the recolp to Thomas F. Hall , postmaster o Omaha. Q Mr. Rosewater , In what par tlcular did Mr. Gould or Dillon aa ; Mr. Kimball had mismanaged the pc lltical part of the business ? A. Mr. Gould did not say BO. Mi Dillon and Ganeral Dodge said th thing had boun overdone. Goner : Djdgo thought Kimball did not un dorataud politic ! properly and that h had CARRIED THE TUINO TOO KAR and brought an endlcea war in tb ir Btate , where they wanted friends. 10 Q Mr. Rosewater you are an acth n. politician m this state , are you not ? 10 A. Well , I have been so considerei o. Q , What Influeuca has the U I manifested in politics in thU stale , i f&r as yon know ! boI A , The first positive Instance of I was In that narrow guage compan > That probably was nol political , b during that aeason they came down Lincoln. Mr. Klmtall and Mr Clvrk and a very Isrgo rotinno of rhuir m < n were hero for the purpo n ( f provpnt lug the adoption of moluluius favor- lug pro rata , and to control the nomi nation of ono congressman. Mr. Gould wa then at Oomlin , ( topping at the Grand Central hotol. Wa mot at this city and oanvaaaed the tempo rary organisation of the convention.

They wcro notoriously bought , and General Co win , who waa then a candidate for conireaa , de clared publicly that the U. P raon and Mr. Clark were corruptly manipulating delegates and interfering with thu choice of the pirty , From that tlmu on thorn has boon no' ocanatlon. In our city , from councilman clear up , the railroads dictatn the choice of can didates through their employes and hirelings , who exert an influvnoa In both parties as democrats and republi cans. It has been so common , that it is notorious. 1 don't suppoao there la any mystery about it. In 1877 there was a small army down hero. They were hero ou the ground fighting for the sonatorship , ar.d in * torferlng in any way possible in the selection A proof of their interfer ence ia that mr-nibers of the legisla ture who had Bold out were aubse- qnontly , after this legislature adjourn ed , employed by the company. THEY DESERTED THEIR OWN UOMEH and went to Omaha to live because it was too uncomfortable for them at homo. If I were to go into details I could apeak for hours. Here the direct examination closed , but Mr , Roaowator said if any ono on the other side desired to aak any ques tions ho would bo happy to answer them then , or at any other time. A number of other witnesses were examined , but want of space precludes the publication of their testimony just now. The Newlnall Investigation- Special Dlnpatch to Tna llu. MILWAUKEE , January 30.

Good Words for Senator Van Wyck Chicago Tribune.
