TIoN.-Tha Committee on Ways and Means

concerning the Pacific msil subsidy. 1t was
expected that Richard b. Irwin would be on
hsBo, ready to testify, he having arrived in this
city. Me-srs. Hubbard and Chapman. counsel
tor Ar Irwin, stated that he was in a nervous
sid eXcl1ed state Of mind, which, combtned
= tn physical disability, rendered his apr ear
4rce before the committee this morning q risk
70 his life. Sir. hubbard stated that ne had
sfTvSd during the war, and since that time had
act seen we'll day; that about q year and a
BALI ago be wes thrown from q carriage in San
FraueCto and had his skull fractured, which
had acded 10 his msny physical complications.
Tie had advised him not to attempt to come be-
tore the committee before tomorrow morning
Mr.. Chapman was about 10 interpose a similar
appeal for bis client, when Mr.. Beck objected
stating that the state of his health ives compe-
tent TO be certified to by physician; that he
Injected 70 couDsel's pleas, and moro over no
oBe vas on trial, and the committee would pro-
coed in It's own way to ascertain the informa-
ton sought.
Arecess was taken, In order to allow the SER
gesnt- alarms to proceed TO Wormley's, see Mr..
Irwin, and report TO the com mittee concerning
bis health. At II O'Clock Mr. Ordway had not
appeared with the witness, and the committee
adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman.

POWERS OF HARBOR MASTERS.

Litigations growing out Of alleged abuse OF
powers by harbor masters are recently becoming
quite frequent A case came up yesterday in Su-
.preme Court, Chambers, before Judge westbrook,
In which 1t was most positively claimed, on one
side, that q harbor master. named John McGinn,
had sought to exercise authority In most arbi-
trary and unwarranted manner, and, on the other
hand, where his conduct is justified In the
strongest possible terms In fact there Is rarely
case wnere the counter statements are more
natly contradictory. Messrs. Colach Theall took
contract to put new boilers the steamer City OF
New York. The steamer had for this purpose been
assigned q place at the dock between Bank and
Bethune streets ON the North River. A lew days
order to remove the steamer: The CON:
their counsel finding, as alleged, remembrance in
vain, brought the matter before the Court for ad-
Iudlcation An Injunction was asked for re-
stralning the Harbor Master from interfering.
MI. Mcmahon went quite largely into the law
regulating the assignment Of vessels to docks and
piers and the powers OF narbor masters regarding
such assignments. He claimed that the steamer
was not IN q condition to be removed, and that
she could not be ordered away until the purpose
for which she was assigned TO the pier was accom-
plished Messrs. Mathews and Heusred, who de-
Tended the Harbor Master, quoted quite as length
lily from the statutes In defence OF the action of
MIR. McGinn. Their strongest point was presenting
affidavlts that the steamer was in condition
nearly two weeks ago allowing her safe removal.
Judge Westbr0Ok said he WAS very clear as TO the
questions OF law, but the questions Of fact we're
very perpex On one side 1t looked like an eX-
ercise OF high handed power and on the other as
though the requirements of the law had in no
manner been exceeded. He took the papers.
