The Alaska Commercial Com.
nnnY.

i
WAsIIINoroS, February 26.-The ex.
animation OF General Miller, President
Of the Alaska Commercial Company, by
the sub-committee Of the Ways and
Means, was concluded to-day. General Mil.
Ter claimed that the company had notion.
ly fulfilled its obligations, but had done
more in the interest OF the Government
and the natives than Is strictly required
by contract. The General also claimed
that the income Of the Government
through his company is about s., 900 per
annum. Secretary Boutwell, will be the
next witness.
BABoocK TO BE SECRETARY NO LONGER.
General Babcock will return here to.
morrow, but not to resume his duties as
Secretary to the President. Before his
trial be gave his friends to understand
that II acquitted he would ask to be Or
dered to military duty.
At q Cabinet meeting yesterday the
matter was informally discussed, and
there was a concurrent opinion that ii
would be better for the President and the
Administration for General Babcock not
to resume his former position.
The President remarked that he con-
tinued to have every confidence in Gem
eral Babcock, and thoroughly believed in
his innocence; but at the same time he
had decided to have some person to open
his personal letters against whom no sus'
picions have been directed.
A member OF the Cabinet, in talking
about the matter to your correspondent
to-day, said the President possessed q
great deal Of sense, and that he was
quick to see that it would not be exactly
proper to have Gen. Babcock return to
his former labors.

sermon to-day was founded on verses +,
Q and Z Of 81. Pauls First General Epis.
