Two mn.urlty rojiorts have been filed on
the whisky trust Investigation. Messrs.
Buchanan of New Jersey and Brodcrlck of
Kansas making ono and Mr. Hay of New
York the other.
The ft rmer stated that there is nbt a line
of testimony to show that the domestic
facilities are not ample for the production of
all the adulterated product , and It is a mat
ter of common knowledge that Imported
poods are very often crossly adulterated.
Owing to the lateness of the session it is Im
possible to formulate or present any counter
views , and in view of the admitted Impossi
bility of enacting any legislation to euro tha
evils found existing such formulation would
sectn to be without practical use.
Mr. Kay fully concurs with the report ,
and adds that , in his judgment , the manu
facture and sale of imitation and adulter
ated liquors of all kinds , and especially
those containing poisonous compounds and
drugs deterious to health , can by law bo
made a criminal offense , punishable by such
penalties as will put an end to the practice.
Such a high tax can bo imposed on all
adulterated nnd Imitation products as will
maku their sale Impracticable. Ho cannot
consent to any proposition which will In
crease the importation of alcoholic liquors ,
cheapen the price of such articles and
largely decrease our revenues and make in
creased taxation in other directions abso
lutely necessary The more widely the doors
are opened to importation of liquors , the
moro active will be tbo manufacture of
adulterated goods , the object of dealers
being to undersell the importers of the purer
articles. He would , if practical , abolish all
the tax on alcohol used for medicinal pur
poses and In the arts and sciences

WASHINGTON- . C. , March 2. The gal
leries of the senate were crowded with
visitor * nil the day , but there was little in
the proceedings to Interest them. The post-
ofllco appropriation bill , which had boon
partly considered yesterday was completed
today the paragraph In relation to the
southern fast mall having boon modified seas
as to leave the whole question to the dis
cretion of the postmaster general.
The jwstofllco appropriation bill was fol
lowed by the Indian appropriation bill. This
,
latter contained an amendment , reported
from the committee on appropriations , ap
propriating fS,500,000 to pay the Chorokecs
for the lands ceded by them in Indian Ter
ritory. lj ing between Oklahoma and Kan
sas. The amendment provoked some discus
sion , but. was eventually agreed to.
Then the deficiency appropriation bill was
taken up , Both the McGarrahun und the
Now York bridKO bills were crowded out by
the appropriation bill.
The jiostoftlco appropriation bill was taken
up and the following substitute for the southern
ern- fast mail paragraph was adopted : "For
necessary and special facilities on u trunk
line , or lines , tUHiCl-h provided that the
postmaster general shall select the trunk
line or lines which shall carry the malls , if
ho shall deem the expenditure a satisfactory
and desirable ono. "
The bill was then passed and Mr. Cullom
made a statement as to the amount appro
priated , showing the department to bo
practically solf-biipportlng.
The Indian appropriation Dill was then
taken up.
Mr. Hill gave notice that if the Hudson
river bridge bill was crowded out by appro
priation bills he would ask for an evening
cession to consider it.
Indian Appropriation Hill.
The consideration of the Indian bill was
then resumed. The last amendment in the
bill was the ono In relation to the Chcrokeo
lands , U was amended and acrroed to.
As amended It appropriates $3,5W,000 ! to
pay the C'herokees for the land .n question ,
of which t.V.W.000 shall bo payable immedi

Mr. Pnseoe offered an amendment for the
settlement of the accounts between Uio

I'AN.VM.Y CANAL JNUt'IUY. |
of tbe Krpmt of the Home Inv -
v < ! tlfiitliic Coiiiinlttcc.
\\'A IIIXOTON , D. O , March 2. The house
Panama Investigating commlttco in its re
port today finds that so far as the treaty of
IMG with Now Grenada is concerned ,
and , so far as the concessions granted |
to und contracts made with
the uresent Panama railroad cor- |
IKiration are concerned , there U no clear '
ground for thu assertion that any exclusive
right to cross the Isthmus was over in terms
granted , or by implication secured , either to j
an American corporation or to a citizen of
the United States to the exclusion of any
other country.
Thcro scorns no ground , so far as the evi
dence before the committee goes , for the '
claim that the government of New Grenada
or the United States of Colombia has ever
guaranteed that the United States shall con
trol the transit or place any limitation on
the legal rights of such holders or railway
company. I
The committee has done its utmost to in-
vcstigato the charge that money was ex
pended to prevent opposition to the plans of
the canal. It has been unable to trace the
expenditure of any money whatever in a cor
rupt way to influence the legislative or executive -
oc-utivo action of the United States govern
ment.
The report states , however , that the com
mittee does not desire authoritatively to ex
press its opinion that further investigation
would be entirely fruitless.
I ) * Losscps' Visit.
The report comments upon do Lesseps'
visit to tbo United States in 1870 and the re
markable change of sentiment that resulted.
The American committee was appointed to
convey the impression that American capital
and sympathy would back up the enterprise.
The committee further s ys that Hon. It. W.
Thompson became secretary of the American
committee and resigned his place in the
cabinet. The committee finds that for the
next three or four years he was exceedingly
vigilant in watching legislation and most
active and able In his efiorts and influence to
postpone the consideration of any legislation
tending to work Injury to the cause of the
Panama Canal company. So far as the tes
timony goes it shows that Mr. Thompson did
the work of the American committee , super
vised purchases for the construction of the
canal , watched legislation , etc.
The object of the contract between the
Pacific Mail company and the Panama Hall
way company was to maintain rates above
the level to which they would fall If free
coni | > etUion between several routes had con
tinued. It seems to bo certain that a very
largo part of the stock in the Pacific
Mail is owned by individuals who
are largely interested in the stock of the
transcontinental roads and also in the di
rectory of the Panama company. That this
system has for fifteen years been diminish
ing commerce between New York und San
Francisco across the isthmus is not denied.
It seems to the committee that this state of
things cannot bo beneficial to the general in
terest of trade or the commerce of the coun
try , nor can it SOP that it is of any particular
benefit to our trade with foreign countries.
Ono Necessary Safeguard.
The committee recommend that whenever ,
under the provisions of the mail subsidy act ,
the ] K > stmaster general shall enter Into con
tracts with any line of vessels a clause shall
bo Inserted in the contract to the effect that
if the steamship lines shall enter into
any combination or arrangement with
competing lines of traffic , the
effect of which is to diminish traffic or raise
or maintain rates of freight on Ameiican
commerce , foreign or domestic , over which a
free competition would bo effected , the con
tract may bo terminated forthwith by the
postmaster general.
The committee regrets , so far ns the
ownership of nearly all the stock goes , that
the control of any American cor | > oration ,
such as the Panama railway is , should bo
held In foreign hands.
The committee , in concluding , cannot re
frain from calling attention to what seems to
be nn obvious deduction from the facts
shown , that it Is thu Interest of the United
States that thu American people should ab
solutely control some outlet across the
Isthmus at some pouiVwblch shall be used
for the benefit of American trade iu general ,
as au open nnd continuous competitor afford
ing no opjxjrtunity for entangling subsidies
from great competing lines or chance of fallIng -
Ing into the grasp of any monopoly through
stock manipulation.

Some weeks ago a committee of citizens

the t law must bo better enforced or there

several saloonkeepers followed , but all have

queathed the entire estate , with the excep

will of John Thompson , sr. This verdict
affirms that of the probate court , Another
son James came forward with a will Uated
sixteen mouths prior to the one named
above , nnd which gave everything to James
with the exception , of $1 to John and his
sister. James fought the other will on the
ground that his father was too feeble to make
a will and had been unduly influenced. As he
is considerable of u fighter when it comes

to the supreme court.
