MoKINLEY VISIT CLEVELAND Consideration of the Roach Investiga tion Br!Uh AmbHUdor Fannoe fote Presented. Associated Press. Washington, April ll.-The Roach case came prominently to the front today in executive session In the senate and was the cause of some rather plain talk. It was declared by the democratic leaders that if the Ro&ch case was to be gone into at this session, others should be taken up as well. The republicans retorted that they were afraid of ho investigation con cerning any other members, but they Insisted that some, positive action should be taken in this particular case. After a long discussion' of the two views so vehemently adhered to by the respective sides, the question was laid aside without any definite action being taken. The Martin case was given a share of the debate and from the discussion that ensued they will if possible refuse to look into the question of the legality of the seat now occupied by Martin. The nomination of Eckles to be comp troller of the currency was reported favorably but confirmation did not fol low, it going over for the day under the rules, there being objection. to Its present consideration. The objection foun expression In some very caustic remarks by republican senators In re gard to what they called lack of wis dom manifested In the selection for so important an office of a man who by their own admission' knew absolutely nothing of the business of banking. There will be a special meetlnlg of the ; committee on privileges and elections tomorrow, at ; which ' the- Roach - case will be taken up and efforts made to" reach some aoncluson that will be sat isfactory alike to the democrats and re publicans. Senator Gorman called upon the pres ident today to discuss with him the question o'f the adjournment of the present extraordinary session of the senate. He had ten or fifteen minutes conversation with Cleveland, who told him he had several nominations which he desired to have considered by the senate and he hoped to be able to get all in by the end of this, or early next week.

Some work is being done on the wagon road from Driscoll's to Nlcoll's mill which Indicates a busy season on Larch mountain. There is about three feet of snow on the mountain. Chis- holm'a camp and C. Forrest's camp are now in operation. Preparations for salmon fishing are about finished. There Is low whispering o'f a tar and feather banquet; better stop It; if the outrage should be' perpetrated on tn innocent person, the wrong never could be remedied, although patience may cease to be a virtue, be right first, then go legally. The rumors are that parties here are writing letters to other parties, as if the other parties were writing to each other, and the parties here are signing the names of the other parties to their letters.

" The American school flag, was raised again yesterday, and nailed to the flag staff on which the English flag has been flying on Washington's birthday, better let It blow away than keep it down for any malicious purpose. Many of our Nova Scotia citizens were In censed at seeing the English flag flying da the siiioolhousei, while others seemed to take it as a matter of fact, possibly believing they were still under their own flag. Rumor has It that one of the school directors was the originator of tho insult, and had the flag made at his house, and many of the Nova Scotlans think it was to cast a slur on them. There is consider able 'feeling over it here, as there is at Astoria. The director referred to who is foreign born will be called upon to explain whether these rumors about him are true or not, at the next school meeting and If true, the voters of the district should end his term of director at once. We will have our flag flying, and oiir school conducted on the Ameri can plan or not at all. We have a good school now, and propose to keep it so, and if school directors should try to make a change and engage foreign teachers, with their ideas which to a certain extent would be felt by the scholars while we,, have a surplus of American teachers, then it will be time to have the school fund cancelled, for school use at Westport.
