Foreign Affairs today. Mr.. Swami
said be was instructed by the committee
TO say to Mr.. Schenck that all questions
would be put to him through member
of the committee, and he would reply TO
the committee and not TO outside parties.
Mr.. Schenck made an explanati ion with
regard to his resignation as director of
the Emma Mine Company, denying, as
Lyon had testified, that he had concealed
the fact from December till the 18th of
January. He also explained the dis
crepan cies between the letter of resigna-
tion to the company and that purporting
to be q copy transmitted to Secretary
Fish. He had prepared and re-
tanned rough draft, from
which he had written with modi-
fcation the letter sent to the company
A telegram from Mcdonald, chair
man OF the Emma Mine committee was
read to-day, stating in confirmation of
Lyons evidence, Il have the original
draft of Schenck's letter Of resignation
in Parks handwriting, and respecting
bis operations, l have proof that
Schenck received cable telegram in
Paris from Parks advising sale on the
intended issue of dividends and sent
Chesbrongh q telegram to sell 2000 shares
for him. "Schenck said he was confident
no such draft of letter in Parks hand
writing existed and he was not advised by
Parks to sell at that time, and he sent no
telegram to Chesbrong for such purpose.
The committee then adjourned.
Chairman Swami, with the concur
renee of the committee, has telegraphed
TO McDougsl to forward such proofs as
he may have in support of the truth of
his testimony.

his friends consider this an insult TO
the President and an uncalled for re-
bukc to his third term aspirations.
Grant also found Bris'ow treacher-
Gus, Jewell Indifferent aud Pratt hon
est. and has said, in apology for their
removal, that he intended to have
friends. not enemies, near him. Then
the politicians are indignant at Gen.
HAYES views on civil service reform.
These IDEAS Of reform they look upon,
as Judge Quinn looked upon the
growth of the German element III
his country, with "alar-r-um.' But
the trouble does not end with the
administration. 1t has entered into
New York politics. Mr.. Conkling it
is said, is very much grieved by the
result in Cincinnati, and, like Grant,
is disposed to consider the letter OF
Gen. Hayes as intended to help his
opponents in the State canvass.
Unless the State convention should
nominate Mr. Cornell for Governor it
is surmised that the distinguished
Senator will not take an active inter-
est in the battle, but will remain, like
Achilles, in his tent, and let the Greeks
capture Democratic Troy, if they can,
without him. This dissatisfaction on
the part of Mr.. Conkling is believed
TO he increased 10y the defeat Of Mr..
! Cornell. for the craftsmanship of the
National Committee and choice OF
lack Chandler. There seems to be
mutiny all around the Republican
camp.

is that out of these and other differ

the administrator and the Rcpubli

strengthen Hayes with the people, but
it would weaken hi u with the Office
