WAsHlyaroN, March /.

WAsHINGToN, March l.
Mr.. Lyon again appeared before the
committee on foreign affairs to-day, and
exhibited copies of Senator Stewards let
ters, to which allusion was previously
made. These Letters were photographed
by the Emma mine, 70 be used in the pres
ent suit against the vendors OF the mine.
Mr. Lyon read an extract from the report
Of George Atwood, an Englshman, super
intendent of the Emma mine, made TO the
directors and shareholders of the company,
lated October 23d, 1915, in which he repre-
sents the mine to be in deplorable condi-
non, the water having risen fifty feet above
The level, tho timbers fallen and the engine
unfit for use. Tue mine was virtually eX-
naus,ed, and the only hope for the future
vas to solve the geological problem, which
would take MONEY and much time. Lyon
said Atwood WAS scientific and received
4 salary of $4,000. The witness reiterated
his testimony Of yesterday to the effect
that Senator Morton did not receive any
any money, nor had he anything whatever
10 do with him aud Senator Stewart In con-
nection with the suit of witness in the
Utah court. The witness referred to the tele-
gram sent TO London in 1871 that Senator
Blair had introduced resolution calling for
an investigation of Gen. Schenck's con-
nection with the Emma mine. II CONVEX
sailon with Mr.. Park the latter said he had
fixed matters with the general, whom he
had induced to give him, park, his rote
for the stock and to write him a letter
saying If his note and stock were not
sufficient security he would give mortg-
age on his house and lot in Washington
Park said he had certified this statement to
Stewart and if Stewart would do the same
thing it would dry up the resolution. The
committee caused TO be read correspon-
dence between 5. 7. Paiford and General
Schenck in the letter of July 9th, 1878.
Pafford wished Gen. Schecll to give him
| certain information about the Emma mine
and repeated the rumor that General
Schenck did not bona flde pay for his
shares. Watcher this was true or not
Il countryman Of General Schenck's then
in London said that 5000 shares had been
| given to Schenck to float the Emma stock,
and that Senator Stewart received 1000
shares to become director of the Emma
mining company. Paiford wanted to know
whether these things were true, and In
conclusion charged Park and Stewart, who
were friends of Schenck, with having with
nefarious intent and by fraudulent state
ments obtained from him and other con-
filling shareholders large sums of money.
He asked whether Schenck endorsed the
acts OF these men, and said il an answer
should not be given he would furnish full
statement to he published 10 the New York
papers, and also call the attention of Pres
ident Grant and Lord Granville. To the
question to this letter Gen. Schenck re-
piled July 10, 1873, saying he had respond
ed to previous letter because 1t was
respectful in character but wher
Paifold subsequently STACKED him in the
public prints, the publication being accom-
panied by innuendoes He could take nj
notice OF his structures. He, however, hat
no objection to give pafford all the infor
