difficulty Between Members OF the

WASHINGTON, December l3,-The
Secretary of the Navy has been inter-
viewed on the subject of the rumored
difficulty between himself and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. He disposes of the
matter as follows: There is nothing in
it. So far from there being any contro-
versy on the subject referred to, it has
not been mentioned between myself and
! the Secretary or between myself and the
President for the last three months. As |
! understand the real fact, Senator
. Cattcll was appointed last summer Agent
of the Treasury Department in relation
to syndicate matters abroad, but was
prevented from going by the protractcd
sickness and final death of his wife.
Whether it will ROW be worth while for
him to go in view Of the long delay and
| the fact that the syndicate contract ter
inmates very shortly is matter en-
tirely for the Treasury Depart
ment and upon which / don't

Treasury desires him to.

INSTRUMENTATION.

To-day's papers bring the statement
that Frank Moulton, in response to a
second and imperative demand from
Mr.. Beecher, supplemented by MIR.
Tilton's consent, has finally agreed to
lay before the Investigating Committee
all the letters and papers in his pos
session bearing on this scandal. He
has designated next Saturday evening
as the time when he will produce
these documents and give his indi-
vidual testimony. He is doing now
what he should have done two weeks
ago. His testimony will doubtless
soon be followed by Mr.. Beecher's
statement, when we may shortly look
for an end of the whole nasty affair,
unless Tilton should persist in his de-
termination to take it into court, as
he informed the Committee few
days ago was his intention. The Gay
nor libel suit against Tilton has been
withdrawn.
