But owing to the damage by frost and

London and see the thing through, and he also dis
covered that all the English stock spectators were
bleeding the concern to such an extent that MIR.
Lyon would not get the $500, 900 he had anticipa-
ted. He therefore telegraphed Mr.. Lyon to come to
London, and he arrived about Nov. 20. Mr.. Stewart
says he told Mr. Lyon that his share would probably
be about 100000. At this time, Mr. Lyon says,
Stewart told him about 5000 shares having been
given to Gen. Schenck, but Stewart most emphati-
cally denies that he told him any such thing.
Mr. Stewart then detailed at some length the ne
gOtiatiOns which resulted in his purchase of Mr.
Lyons interest Mr. Park had conceived the idea
of offering the New-YOrk owners so per cent for
their stock and Mr.. Park agreed to advance the
money to Mr. Stewart to buy Lyon ont if this ar
rangement could be made. Lyon therefore assigned
his interest, and Mr.. Stewart gave his note, the
price being $780, 00 When Mr.. Stewart arrived
in New-York he surprised to find the owners
willing to sell out on the terms proposed and did
not at the time understand why it was. He after
ward learned that under another name, that of the
Illinois Tunnel Company, they were tunDeling into
the same mine. Mr.. Stewart induced the owners to
estimate Mr.. Lyons share which he himself
then owned at one-tenth or 5000 shares, and then
signed his assent to the arrangement on the one side
as the owner of those shares, and on the other as
Mr.. Parks attorney. The full details of this peculiar
proceeding by which, as counsel for Mr. Park. he
made contract with himself, were brought out by
two or three pointed questions by Mr.. Hewitt.
The curious thing about Mr. Stewards testimony
to-day was that he did not once mention Gen.
Schenck's connection with the Company nor did he
even hint that ne saw Gen. Schenck during that
memorable visit to Europe IN 1871. The examina-
ton will be continued tomorrow.

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON March 2l.-'The House was occupied
today with further debate upon the Legislative APP
preparation bill. 1t is evident from the temper of
both parties that the bill is not likely to pass the
House without very important notifications. Inc
Appropriations Committee, unless all signs fail, Will
find some of its strongest opponents among the
members Of the majority party. The Republicans
IA indicated in Charles Fosters speech to-day, are
ready 10 make all proper reductions which VIII not
crpplc the Government but the reductions proposed
by Mr. Raudall's Committee will cripple the Govern
mrnt. Some of the most skilled aud conservative
official, i'm the Government service maintain that III
some branches of the public service Government
business cannot be- conducted with the gripping re-
auctions proposed by this bill. The truth il, the
reductions proposed are neither just nor equitable.
They are forced and incqutablc.
A signal illustration of the unfarness and dclu-
sions of the bill is found in tie manner in which NJ
duc.ious of members own salaries are made. Mr.,
Blaine put this 10 the Committee to-day in hight in
which the couutry viii not f'il 10 understand IT.
The precnse Of the bill is, all salaries except
those of laborcrs are equally reduced IN the ratio
Of 10 per cent. This reduction il only apparent.
The salaries 81 the four classes of Government
clerks were fixed in 1896 on gold basis by
what is known "a the Hunter bill. The salaries
of these classes of clerks have not been increased
since that day. although expenses Of Washington
life have been very much mere than doubled Al
the same time that the salaries Of clerks were liked
by the Hunter bill at the present rates salaries ot
Con gfrssmcn were established at $1,000. Since
that time. however Congressman have increased
their own salaries to 5000, or go per cent, without
increasing the salaries Of Government clerks. The
Democrats propose to reduce their own sal
aries ~ per cent from 1000 to - 300 while they
also reduce the salaries Of Government clerks 10
per cent from the gold standard of 1886.
IfCougrrssIucn reduced der salarics in equal pro-
portion with the clerks, they would fix them at
~ 700 instead If - 800. The Republicans insist
that the Democrats cannot deceive people INTO the
belief that congressman treat themselves the same
as they do other servants Of the Government i'll this
proposed reduction Of per cent. The Republicans
either IN the House Senate will propose and insist
upon this equitable reduction of CoHgressmcn's sal
aries if the attempt reduce clerical salaries proves
successful. The indications are that there will be
formidable dcal-locks between the two houses on
al main appropriation bills.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The Foreign Relations
Committee again considered the ease of Mr.. Dana
the 6minec for the English mission, and decided to
report the nomination TO the Senate adversely The
case was discussed in its various phases and one
member Of the Committee expressed the opinion
that anybody who would write letter like that
lately published was unfit for any mission, but more
especially for n mission important az that to En-
gland Mr.. Dana seems to have few friends in the
Committee. AT the Executive session in the after
noon Senator Cameron reported Mr.. Dana adversely
but Senator Boutwell, objected to its present
consideration, in order 10 gain time for
the friends Of Mr.. Dana, and the case
went over peremptorily. In the mean
time the public sentiment of the country being
strongly in favor Of Mr.. Dana, letters pouring in
from all sides from distinguished persons throughout
the country to Senators and members. The Massa-
chusetts delegation are also active to effect con-
frmation, aud have united petition IN his favor
There is general feeling here that Mr. Dana will be
rejected for the nexpcable principle known as the
courtcses of the Senate ordinarily prevent the con-
iirmatiOn of nomination reported adversely by a
committee President Woolsey has written lettor
to Senator Dawes in favor of Mr. Dana and says the
latter is not guilty of literary piracy the similarity
