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. iOW-Ns AROUND ON.

Tho com pany claims to have Accepted orders to the urnount of $10,000, and making other p iy ment& and eetlucliona that reduce the com- plsiinauta’ claim to about $000; but it is al leged that tho work W3« not properly done, and hcuco that nothing is duo.
