WASHINGTON, June l0-The sub-judici-
airy committee met this evening to continue
the investigation in the connection of ex-
Speaker Blaine with the Kansas Pacific
railroad.
James b. Stewart took the stand, but be-
fore testifying, Lawrence, on behalf of
Blaine, stated that as his colleagues, Frye
and Hall, who had been aiding him in the
investigation, were both absent from the
city, it would be desirable TO him to have

The committee then, after consultation,
decided to postpone the case till Monday.
Hunton then said to Blaine: The COM
mittee desire ME to again request the pro-
duction of the letters taken from Mulligan.
BIaine-You know the grounds on which
claim possession of them, Mr.. Chairman !;
l haven't changed my mind.
Lawrence said he understand that only
one of the letters had any connection with
the case, and even Mulligan did not claim
that any of the others alluded to the bonds.
So he wished TO be understood as non-con-
curing in the request for the production
Of the letters.

to ask you to produce the memorandum
accompanying the letters.
| Blaine-I have the same reason against
producing that as have against producing
the letters
Hunton-Then understand you to de-
cline to give them up.
Blaine-Ies, sir.
Blaine said he had offered TO produce
the only letter that Mulligan swore had
any bearing on the case, and if the COM

the letter which bore on the case, he would
produce it.

the production of the letter alluded to by
Mulligan, and also the memorandum PIE
pared by Mulligan.
Blaine-If you make that request on the
general principles that you have a right to
demand the whole of the letters, / decline
TO furnish it.
