Mr. Edwards then proceeds to state that person who,
he believes has been r the pay Of tho Russian govern

Mr. Edwards thus adopted, grossly improbable

possible Inconvenience to innocent parties.
TO make such examination eifeotual IL necessary

have now received from Mr. McKeon report of the re-
suit Of the investigation.
]. appears that the Maary was owned in part BY
factory informatioa TO her construction character
and destination
for trade with China having in addition to the ordinary
vessels in that busines only deck guns
deemed requisite account Of the increase OF piracy In
1t further appears by these explanations, that the
statements made to Il guns and munitions Of and
extra apars board Inc Maury inaccurate, to
the mldest admissible expression that the surmses

by proof and that she IL iu fact adver ed for general
aregbtment ard receiving cargo destined Tor yhae
Neither Mr.. Barclay Mr.. Edwards brought forward
any evidence 10 contradict these facts on the contrary
Mr. Edwprds has in letter addressed Mr.. McKeon,
expressed his conviction OF the proprety OF Diminishing
the libel which b also recommended unreservedy BY Mr.

Under these circumstances, 1t affords pleasure to
enable you give that the Cnnard mail
