the Cutting atTair and the surrender ot Oeio-

clude the Scdgwlck matter as well as the

subject would goto the committee on forelirn
ntfatrs If It comes up In either branch of con
gress , and would bo gobbled In by tlio house.
if an Intention lo do so was suspected to Hn-
irei in the sunato. Perry Helmont Is the
chaliman of tin ; house committee , and bc-lnu
u lii m Irlentl of Hecrctaiy Hayard would not
want the sonata committee on foielgn atfaiis ,
whose head Is Mr. Slieimnn , to have charge
of the Investigation. Hence ho will
move If he thinks there is serious
thought of It In the senate. The
objector nn investigation of the siirrendei

an\ thing else to lc.it n Its actual status and
what U needed at the hands ot congress tenet
