THE EMMA NINE SCANDAL,
Gen. Scbenck Anxious TO show that he wa
Neither a Dupo Nor a Rascal.

WAsHINaToN. April 6.-Mr Phelps. of
counsel for Gen. schenck, presented to the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs to-day a
list Of witnesses whom he desired to have sum
moned. MIR. Hamilton suggested that no fur
ther testimony be taken concerning the history
OF the Emma Mine.
Gen. Schencg insisted that the committee
should cover the whole ground. showing all
facts connected with the history, progress, own
ership, and sale Of the mines.
Mr.. Springer asked Gen. Schenck n the COM
mittee should say that he honestly and In good
faith acquired an interest In the mine, lrrespec-
tive OF any fraud that might have been commit
ted by others, whether he would still desire n
fuller Investigation.
Gen. schencK replied that he desired such ia :
vestigatlon for Others ~ well as for himself. The
ground no took was that he was neither dune
nor rascal, but he invested his money In the
mine with view OF bettering his condition.
lie made his Investment with bis eyes open.
lie wished to show not only this. but that
the mine Ia still an enormously valuable prop
erty, and the failure was owing to the misman-
agement Of the company In England. lie did
not want to appear as simple bOoby, taken In
by others. and therefore desired TO have the
particle Of the test imOny OF Lyon would he re-
ceived In a court % Justice. that witness having
INDUCED In inDuendOes. reports. and differences.
These thugs had gone to the world ON the
wings OF lightning to his pref Idice, connecting
him with an alleged fraudulent purchase and
sale Of the Emma mine.
Mr. Hamilton, In support OF his suggesti on
said the iuvestigitiOn was ordered with refer
enco to Gen. Schenck alone, VINO had now been
heard before the committee. lie did not see
what the history and sale Of the mine had to do
with Gen. Schencks Investment In the stock.
He understood suit concerning the Emma
mine was pending IN New York court, and
shat was the proper tribunal, where the Original
venders OF the mine snould DO vindicated or
censured.
Gen. Schenck remarked that both In Eneland
and America the whole matter OF the Emma
mine had been spoken OF as "A great awindle and
scandal. and his name had been connected with
T. In manner to throw darkness over him.
Therefore, everything connected with IL should
be made a. clear "a light.
After conversation between the members Of
the committee involving Mr.. Hamilton's sugges-
tiOD, the committee held a session with closed
doors and adjourned till tomorrow without
coming To- conclusion as To whether they will
admit the testimony proposed by Gen. Schonck.

A GRAND SELL.

A special dispatch to the St. Louis
GIo6e-Dem0crat, from Sedalia, Mo,
March II, says;
The arrest of Keeny, as connected with
the Huntington Bank robbery, turns out
to be double farce. In the first place,
he never received $4,000 from his brother
in Virginia, but package said to con-
tain that amount. This was sham
pretense for the purpose of keeping up
his credit. This is the first farce which
caused the second. The Sheriff from
Virginia, with requisition from the Gov
ernor Hardin for Keeny's arrest deman-
ded the prisoner, but he was non est.
Upon his agreeing to investigate the
facts and submit them to Governor Har-
din before taking Kceny from the State,
Col. Vest, his attorney, had Keeny come
to town. The Sheriff soon found out
thathe was after the wrong man, and to-
night returns with his photograph, to
show the authorities of his State that B.
F. Keeny had nothing to do with the
Huntington Bank robbery.
