WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The exami-
nation of ex-senator Stewart before the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs to-
day, brought out the fact that while the
directors and venders of the Emma mine
were aware that Albert Grant was pro-
moter, the fact was hid from the general
public. Grant was to get $5O,OOO, but he
had to bear all the expense OF putting the
stock on the market. Grant was to bull
the stock, and he would not have been
allotted any stock as bona ade subscriber.
The committee adjourned at 3:15 P. M.
In the Committee Post Offices and Post
Roads to day, Col. J. G. McKibben conclu-
ded his testimony. He said he could not
prevail upon the Committee of lnvestiga-
tion of 1872 to inquire into the facts which
he suggested. He gave the names OF wit
nesses who were never summoned, and who
could have exposed the frauds. He asser-
ted that large sums of money were neces-
sarily paid on account Of straw bids, and
he believed that ex-Postmaster General
Cresswell was party to the frauds.
A Republican Senator, who will vote for
the confirmation of Mr.. Dana to the English
mission, said to-day, that it was about an
even chance of his being confirmed, but that
every days delay will improve his chances.
There is no doubt but some votes will be lost
on account of Dana's letter, which this
Senator termed an open lecture to the
Senate.

Cow Sucking.

Cow sucking, says the Smyrna Ti,ael
seems to be growing epidemic here. We
recently spoke of dog that had to be killed
for sucking COW, and now we hear of a
bull that has been found guilty of the same
practice. He belongs to Col. George W
Cummins, and has been relieving the bag
of every milch COW at "Woodlawn." He
is an cid animal, weaned several years ago
and thathe should now 60 back to his first
love is the strange feature. He was de-
tected in his catfish habits, last week, by
responsible witnesses, and is now going
through second weaving.

BrlStOW Vindlcated,
By American Press Association,

BY American Press Association.
CHICAGO, March 22-T. T. Taylor, of
Indianapolis, agent for Thompson & Co..
in the mule contract which has been cited
against Bristow says that the latter was to
receive ten per cent. as lawyer fer argu-
ing the case. 1t was an honest contract, he
says, with no fraud in it in his opinion.
The man who started the report against
Bristow did it because he was cnvious of
his success; he knows who the man is, and
asserts that he is neither Cabinet officer
or member of Congress.
