Washington, Jan 14. At a meeting of
the House' Military Committee this morn
ing the sub-Cpmmittee reported that the
facts in the communications laid before
them in regard to'the charges against the
management of the Soldiers' Home at
v Hampton were insufficient to warrant Von
gressional inquiry. j ' L 1
On motion of Representative White,
r the sub-Committee was instructed to ex
amine the matter more f u, and submit
their conclusions to the full Committee on
Thursday. I ; :-. u
; The Potter Committee tqday examined
'j. H. Birch.oneof the Presidential Electors
at large of Louisiana. His testimony was to
'the effect that he signed the! second set of
certificates having been advised that there
was informality n the first bet. He knew
nothing of the forgery of the signatures
except jffhat he had learned
pers and! conversations. ! It
editrom newspa:
was quite true
that he forged no signature.
Witness Kelly" was r-cal
ed . ffom Sat-
uniay, ana ' atter much
pressiire stated
positively that the name of
Jeffnon was
forged; but was not quite sure as to that
of . Levisse. The Committee took a re
cess.,. ' h -V.. , 1 - .
The Senate . Finance Committee heard
II. W. H. Hunt. President of the Mer
chants; Tobacco Company, jof New York
and Boston, in opposition to the House
bill which provides for reducing .the rate
of taxation oh tobacco. The Committee
adjourned without acting on the subject
but wiJl hold a special meeting to dispose
of it within the next few days. ,
The H jusg! in Committee jjof .the whole
considered the Mexican pension brll. 1
The Appropriation Comn)ittee was in
structed, to appropriate :Jto the widow of
the latei? Representative IIarridge an
.amount equal to the remainder of his salary
as a member of the 45th Congress.
The i House Committee on Commerce
agreed to report Mr. Smallsf bill extend
ing the collection district otj Beaufort, S.
C. eastward to South Edisto River, so as
to include' the waters of tlhe Combahee
River and the sounds and j inlets on the
. coast between the Edisto and Black River
in Georgia, y . I :
The House Committee on Postofflces &Dd
Post Roads authorized its chairman (Mr
Waddell) to' report the bi prepared by
him forj the classification of mail matter as
a substitute for the bill heretofore report -ed,
and! which is now on the House calen
dar. This bill has been Very generally
publishedr but as agreed upon by 'the
Committee, It is amended (so that, letters
nailed I with insufficient postage will be
forwarded and deficiency Collected from
the addressed. It provides also for the
issuance of the new stamps to be used 4ox
that purpose as heretofore published.
Foreign iVewiu
London, Jan. 14. A Berlin, dispatch
says: "The Parliamentary punishment
bill continues to be the chief topic of con
yersation in all political circles. The opin
ion of the foreign press is largely quoted
in comparison with! articles lathe jour
nals here which seems to yitld the curious
result that abroad there is more opposition
to the Chancellor's scheme than in Germany
itself. There is certainly great opposition
here to the bill, tlough to the English"
. mind U is somewhat surprising to find so'
much unconcern .reigning in view of the
fate which seems to threaten freedom of
speech and, the liberty of the press. . .TThe
Nord Deutehev AUegemeiney Zeitug and
Post defend the Chancellor's scheme. , r,
The Koenz Zeitung, though admitting
the necessity of some restraint on the. Par
liamentary speech, thinks with tbe Liberals,'
that the bill in its present fofm is ioadmis
sable, for the reason that it changes Several
articles of the Constitution, Iwhich cannot
begone without a special resolution by the
' Reichstag to that effect f In parliamentary
circles the question is being discussed aatd
whether j the bill, in view of certain articles
of the Imperial Constitution, might not be
rejected a lamina. That might doubtless
be done if a majority of thej House would
only resolve to do it," but fa&aj persons
here believe that Biamarck, despite, the
present Opposition, , will ultimately succeed
. in carrying the measure - with: 3 bnt ; few
, changes. - - - ' j
