St. Petebsbobo, November 12—The
Journal de St. Petersburg says that the
Marquis of Salisbury’s Rpeech at the Lord
Mayor's banquet at Guild Hall on Tuesday,
uahes Austria responsible for the mainte

SPYING ON PUuLltl Me.,.
A Peculiar Investigation doing on In TVa.li
Ington Over All.god Police Ordota.
Washisqtok, November 13. — District
Ccnmiisbiotier Wheatley to~day began a
hearing of the testimony in the case of
Folio* Lieutenant Richard Arnold, charged
with giving currency to a false report, to
the effect that the superintendent of police,
Major Walker, had issued an order direct
ing the police to maintain an espionage
over the movements aud habits of Congress-
men, with a view to influencing legisla
tion.
A number of witnesses were examined,
and the testimony was rather conflicting.
It appeared, from the evidence of Sergeant
Di^gs, that the accused had told him that
Major Walker had suggested a at meeting of
lieutenants that the habits of members of
Congress visiting questionable resorts be
noted, that information might be used to
to Uaenoe legislation. Witness had inquired
if tiie order was to be acted on, to whi h the
lieutenaut responded, "Certainly not; drop
u light here.”
Superintendent Walker denied in strong
terms that he had ever said anything that
could he construed into an order of the
kind described, and he was corroborated
in his statement by several lieutenants who
had atttnded the meeting. Two of the
-UUvCLilCts OS the Glut! iiultd tmllucu tintl
hen reference way made to tbe private
habits of some public men Major Walker
bad said that it would be well to keep then©
things in mind, as they might be of benefit,
and that Another remark of Walker’s was:
"Make note of such cases, and we can get
an increase of one hundred men for the
force.”
The hearing was not comploted to-day.

by evidence for both sides, is as follows:

pany claims to have Accepted orders to the
urnount of $10,000, and making other p iy
