Testimony Of Judge Mexican Of the suprems
Court in Utah.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-To the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs this morning,
Gen. schenck's counsel submitted list OF wit
nesses for whom subpnnas were desired, In
order that they might testify before the COM
mttee 10 support Of his statements and in con-
travention OF Lyon. The list included Gen.
Baxter, Mr.. eager, and Mr.. Selover, and num-
bered nine in all. The committee agreed to
accede to Gen. Schenck's request. and summon
all the witnesses named by him.
Judge James b. Mexican, ex Chief Justice Of
the Supreme Court Of Utah, testified that snort
ly after bis arrival In Utah in 1870, suit was
brought In his court BY James L. Lyon, who
applied for an Injunction TO restrain the Emma
Company from selling the mine.
Mr.. Chlttenden read to witness Lyons state
meDt that he endcavOred to get Mexican re-
moved because the latter had tried suit in
which he was personally Interested.
Judge Mexican pronounced this assertion
false. lie recalled one case wherein he discov-
cred that 200 feet Of certain lode had been To-
Gated in his name without his knowledge, and
he thereupon Immediately transferred the cise
To another Judge for trial. lie never had an in
terest, directly or Indirectly, in the Emma mine
or In any other, except TO the extent above indi-
Gated, which amounted to nothing. and none Of
bis associates on the bench had any mining In
terests, SO far as he knew. When he refused
the inJunctions asked by Lyon, Park not

Judge Mexican answered that Mr. HOLSTER

was an interest OF One-twelftn. valued at SlOl,-

and HOLSTER regarded this with eIeat indigna-

SURPRISING Imnrnvemcnf.

We hear a great deul-so much, indeed,
that II is becoming n bore-of the improve
ments made within the last century. such
as the steam engine, railroads, the tele-
graph, Col. KANEs coach, the Polo Club,
and so ON. But there is no need of going
back one hundred years. OF anything like
u, to find the most surprising improve
ments.
No longer ago than 1874 Gen. BABCocK
wished to ascertain what writers for news
papers were making unpleasant comments
on him; ana how did he go to work to do
it2 Why, according to his own statement,
he employed one or two Treasury detect
ives for that purpose.
And now behold the vast Improvement

within the short space of two yenrsl Does
Gen. BABcocK have 10 employ n detective
now TO learn what papers are denounclng

at list OF the journals published in the
United States.
Should Gen. BABcocK, however, desire
90 dnd journal that speaks well Of him,
he might still be obliged 20 resort TO the
old process. Not only so. but IN candor
we should have to admit that his re-
searches might be attended with far
greater difficulties, and be rewarded with
less success, than IN former times and in
the opposite direction.

The recuniDry supper, Of Moody and snnkey.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Sir: Messrs.
Moody and Slnkey say they live by faith, but
US yet curious public has not been enlig hten ed
as to the actual means by which the famous re-
yiyalists pay their living expenses aud support
their families. 1t Is well enough to talk about
faith, but faith will not supply bread and butter
and other necessaries of life.
The revivaliSts receive no pay for their SER
vices from tue managing committees IN the
cities where they preach, and they have shown
in a reasonably satisfactory manner hat the pro-
ceeds from the sale Of their hymn books, winch
are very large, are devoted exclusively to chart
table purposes. Thus frr Messrs. Moody and
