hitch in the examination, and the Managers and
counsel both appeared to be at loss what
next to do. At this point the senator's
began TO ask questions. Senator Mitchell was
the first and his question went directly to the marx:
"Why did you give Mr.. Bclknap half OF all the
money you received from the Fort Sill Transaction
To this question Mr. Carpenter objected, bur, as
usual, was overruled. Mr.. Marsh, with hesita-
ton and without q blush, said he felt
like doing it. 1t gave him pleasure to do it. The
money he gave was merely a present to Gen. Bel
KNAPP Senator Edmunds sarcastically asked If Mr..
Belknap knew beforehand how large tho next pres
ent would be- Mr.. Marsh said Gen. Beknap knew
nothing abont it, and, in answer to
q question, said that he himself did
not know how largo the next remittance
would be, for he had determined TO send Gen. Bel
knap half the sum he derived from Fort Sill. Mr..
Marsh denied that he had talked about the subject
of the payment to Gen. Belknap to anybody except
the present Mrs. Belknap although he swOre yester-
day that he had been for five years paying
Gen. Belknap money, and had sometimes
paid it to him personally, and mad re-
duced the installmcnts from $1,000 to
$3.50. What he said to Mrs. Beknap was at the
time he came to Washington to attend tile funefai
Of the former Mrs. Belknap, and ne said in substance
that the payments should be continued to the young
child Of Mrs Belknap. Subsequently the child ded,
and the witness thought he would continue the pay
Tnents 20 Gen. Bcknap. In answer to other ques-
tlons by Senators. Mr.. Marsh said Gen. Belllnap
never asked where the money was coming from.
1t seemed rather singular that Gen. BEL
knap, who did not know Air. Marsh very
well, should receive from $4,000 to $4,000
q year from him in regular installmcnts and
never ask even where II from, and there is no
Disgusting tho fret that Senators looked upon the
spectacle Of the Secretary of War receiving money
over the dead body of his wife and through the
nursery of his children from post-trader without
asking a question with feeling of ineffablc con-
tempt and loathng. Mr.. Marsh was on the stand
nearly all the afternoon, and was certainly a very
good witness Tor the defense. lie said his wife was
too i'll to appear in Washington.
Gen. Hazcn was recalled, and Mr.. Carpenter pro-
ceeded to treat him in his usual brutal manner SO
unjust was he in his questions, and 50 bullying in
his manner that Manager Mcmahon had to remind
him that Gen. Bclknap was on trial and not the wit
ness Gen. liazen bears the ill-will of the
defense for having started the first steps
in this action, and it is not strange that
1t strives to put him in the worst
possible attitude. Only part of the circumstances
respecting his connection with the case can be pro-
duced as evidence, and they receive a color to suit
the vindictiye temper of the counsel. After Gen.
Hazcn left the stand, Representative Clymer gave
part of his testimony, reading the evidence taken
by the House Committee on Expenditures in tho
War Department.

MR. PRATT'S REMOVAL.

The resignation OF Commissioner of Internal Reve-
me Pratt was demanded this morning, to take effect
Aug. 1. Il is said that the President assigns two
reasons for asking for the removal of Mr.. Pratt ::
First, on account of his letter commenting Yaryan
second, because he furnished the House Naval Com
mirtee the statement Of Mr. Robeson's old income
account, in violation of Executive orders
and of a statute Mr.. Pratps letter to Yaryan the
President considered personal insult, and Is SAID
not to have spoken bIr. Pratt since AS to Mr.
Robcson's income account, it Is claimed that Mr.
Pratt furnished the Naval Committee statement
which is not correct as TO Mr. k0bes0ns In
cbme before he became Secretary OF the
Navy. 1t is urged by the Presidents friends
that there are two why Mr.. Pratt shouid not
have done this: First, because the Executive for
bids Bureau officers from furnishing information
Second, because Mr. Pratt furnished information as

INTERROGATED BY A COMMITTEE.

The following passage occurred at the close OF the
examination of ex-Postmaster-G General Jewell by
the House Post Office Committee this afternoon:
Q. When you were subpenaed last night, were you
Postmaster-Gcneral A. / sent my letter OF resig-
nation to the President at or o'clock yesterday
afternoon and received the subpoena an hour or so
later.
Q. Was your resignation voluntary or forced lOb-
lection was made, argued, and overruled.l A. The
President intmated to me yesterday that my resig-
nation would be agreeable to him, and immedi-
atey sent it him.
Q. Were you aware that any charges had been
made against you that the President should have
asked for your resignation A. No, Sir.
Q. Do you know any reasons why he shonld have
asked for your resignation A. | am not aware OF
any but must decline answering questions upon
that topic.
Representative Cannon objected to this line of in
tcrrogation. Chairman Clark thought 1t would be
interesting to know the intentions Of the President,
and thought it might have an important bearing
upon the Post-Oflce investigation. IL Postmaster
Jewell was charged with fraud, it ought 10 be known
if he was not he ought TO be vndcated.
Q. Did the President intimate to you any derec-
ton of duty as Postmaster-General as reason
A. No. Sir; without wishing to give any intimaton
decline TO answer the question.
Q. Do you know that any charges were made the
basis of the why your resignation was asked
A. No, Sir; know of no charges.
O. Your resignation was not asked, then, so far rs
you know, for any action that you have done aS
Postmastcr-Gcnerali A. do not know that il was.

resignation was not asked on tho ground that he

JEWELDS OPPONENTS.

No doubt is entertained in Washington that, aside
from the political reasons which induced the PresI-
dent TO make several changes in his Cabi-
net yesterday, pressure has been
Drought to bear upon him from many
dihGent but sympathetic sources to induce him
10 remove Postmaster-General Jewell. All the in
nnental men in the old District Ring have been Mr.
Jeweiis enemies for long time. The District
attorney for the District Of Columbia, George i.
fSuer' was, whether justly or not, always consid-
eieu Trend to the members of this ring and their
schemes. When the Postmaster-G General discovered
'ne hauds oil which Hines and Kettle guilty in
connection with bidding for Post-Oflice con
tracts and secured their indictment in the
courts OF the District he demanded of Mr.
FISHER that he should employ competent
counsel TO assist him in the prosecution of these
Criminals. This he refused to do and brought the
eases 70 trial at time when the Post-Ofice Depart
ment vas not fully prepared and without such
assistance AZ the believed ought
