been member of Gladstone's Cabinet,
Governor Oglesby, Mr.. Garrett,
the Baltimore railroad king, and
others, thirteen in all, which Mr..
Stewart, who was very super
stitutions, may have noticed. Although
he was generally very abstemious, he ate
and drank heartily, and was in excellent
spirits When, after dinner. he escorted
the guests through his library and pic
ture gallery, he was seized with chill,
and put on mis- hat and overcoat. This
was the beginning of the end. The e1
tensive proprietor of land and houses,
whose boast it was that he never sold p

TIE Brsutow Investigation.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The Com
mittee on Expenditures in the Treasury
Department met to-day tor the purpose
OF Investigating the charges against Sec
retary Bristow in relation to the release
of the bsrque Mary Merritt. Mr.. Bris-
tow appeared in his own behalf. Judge
Cate, who introduced the resolution in
the House, was called upon for the names
of the parties VINO furnished him with
the information he gave ii. Chittenden,
+. T. johnson, s. L. Wells, Levi Hub
bel, G. w. Hazelton and Mrs. Northlng.
He suggested that perhaps it might not
be necessary to summon more than one
or two Of them, rs oil the facts could be
obtained from that number as well as all,
and the expense of summoning all of
them might be avoided. He did not think
it necessary to summon Judge Hubbell.
Secretary Bristow said it was too late
to talk about economy in this matter. He
had been arraigned before the country,
and he wanted full and immediate in
vestigation, and desired the attendance of
all the witnesses, particularly Judge
Hubbell, as he desired to show under
what circumstances Hubbell went out of
office. He questioned Judge Cate as to all
the sources of his information, and desired
list Of all persons with whom
he had conversed upon the subject Mem
bers of Congress having objected to his
questions, Secretary Bristow said he had
no hesitation In saying that these charges
had been instigated by what was known
in the country as the whisky ring of
Milwaukee, and he interrogatcd Cate to
bring cut those facts and put the infor-
nation on record
Cate said the committee would try I"
take care of their side of the case. He
himself did not wish to appear rs prose-
cutor.
Secretary Bristow-But you will have
to do so; you cannot hel P it.
After some further discussion
the committee decided to sum
moa all witnesses named. Secretary
Bristow said some newspapers had
charged that he had declined to furnish
the original papers in this case. He
wished 10 state tha: while in obedience
to an executive order, he should decline
to furnish original papers in cases under
investigation, yet in every case against
himself he would take the possibility
to produce before the committee every
original paper. lie then gave the COM
mittee the following names OF witnesses
to be summoned: ID. Lyman. &. F. Co.
nant, Bluford Wilson, J. H. Robson, of
the Treasury Department, John Weland,
w. l.. and 5. L. Trice, of Hopkinsville,
Ky, and Walter Evans, of Louisville.
The committee then adjourned.
