Republican members of the Judiciary
Committee express the opinion that the
Judiciary Committee will be quite likely to
report Mr.. Blaine to the House for con-
tempt or censure on Monday, on account
of his refusal to deliver the letters. This
is speculative; but il it transpires very
exciting debate may be anticipated.

WASHINGTON. June 3. The fun Judiciary
Committe. adjourned at O'Clock.
There was a long discussion on the ques-
tion of compelling Mr.. Blaine to bring the
l>tters taken from Mulligan before the Sub
Committee. but without coming TO a con-
clu.ion the whole matter was postponed
I'LL Tuesday.
EXPECTED DECISION IN FAVOR OF MR..
BLAINE.
The understanding in the Judiciary Com
mittee Is that no further attempt will he
made to secure the Blaine letters until
some person shall make oath that they are
essential to Tie particular subject under in
yestigation. This is not absolutely dccid
ed. but the indications are that such will
be the position of the Committee The
question of the alleged contempt OF Blaine
was not taken mp to-day.
