wrote il. He thought, however, he sent it TO Gov.
stearns He stated declined because Of tho
confidential Of the communications between the

and he was summoned to appear before the committee
as Secretary Of the Interior o had no more right
TO Disclose what passed between himself aud the Presi
dent than United states senator has 10 disclose what

THE ELECTORAL COUNT !

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The electoral
commission met at" l0:3O this morning
The presiding justice said the question
had been asked yesterday, What is the
case ?'to which he had .sreplied; 1t
consists of three certificates :with accom-
panying. papers and objections to same
he would now state that two directors on
each side would be allowed to speak on
the opening of the case; those represent
ing objections number one which was pre
sented by Mr.. Field, would speak first, and,
under the fourth rule, would be allowed
two hours to state the case AID argue in
support of the objections.
Mr.. Field asked whether, after the
objectors had spoken and the opening ar
gument was made, any reply would be
allowed. Justice Clifford stated that the
rules made no provisions for reply. Mr.
Field then opened the argument as an
objector in the case of Florida and argued
10 favor of going behind the face of the
returns on the ground that if this could
not be done the American people would be
10 the position of standing powerless in
the face of gigantic fraud.
He was followed by Representative
Tucker, another of the directors, on the
same side Of the case.
Senator Sargent and William E. Chan
dler being familiar with the subject under
discussion are present with the Republi-
can counsel.
At the conclusion of Mr.. fuckers ar.
gument the committee took recess till
o'clock.

of the houses, which. in the estimation of
the houses it is proper to send
to us, it seems to me we must look
at them and see whether they are compe-
tent and pertinent. | think therefore
that the motion to print ought to be adop-
ted That will not delay US 10 having be-
tore us tomorrow as early as we see fit to
meet printed copies OF the certificates and
objections. We can give directions that
they shall be sent to US immediately and
the printing of these other papers can go
on. Knowing the great rapidity with
which work is done at the government
printing office, [ do not think we should
have to wait very long,
Finally Abbott withdrew his motion
temporarily, and the president called for
the names of the counsel on either side.
Field named O'Connor. Black, TrumbulI
and Merrick. Being reminded that not
over two counsel would be allowed to par
ticipate in the argument on each side,
Field said they had no. yet selected those
two, but would this evening, Evarts
moved as Republican counsel Stoughtop.
Stanley Matthews, Shellabargcr aud him
self. After some desultory conversation,
Sargent said it was decided that McCrary
anu NhSsOn WOulu present the case, aSlue
from the counsel on conference
Edmunds moved an adjournment until
10; 80 tomorrow morning.
Garfield said an objection had been made
by Senator Jones and inquired if there
was any special hearing to be made
The presiding justice said it was his
impression that the several objections to
| the returns from state constitute one
case and two objections will be heard upon
one side and two on the other, and after
they haye been heard two members from
each counsel will be heard, unless other
wise ordered. That will be the ruling,
Field said there might be some misun
derstandng in regard to the rule as there
was objections to the votes OF the Florida
Hayes electors He objected 20 the votes
certificates and lists.
Field suggested that Thompson anu
Jeuks be the objectors and he would in-
form the commission tomorrow as to who
would represent his party.
The presiding justice said he was no
prepared to rule otherwise than he had
After some unimportant discussion th'
previous question was put and the com
mission adjourned until 1920 tomorrow

persons complain of a dull pain in the side, con-

feelings of drowsiness and restessness, the food,
lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied with
acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originated from disor-

Persons affected, II they take one or two heavy
colds and If the cough in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clOgged
remaining torpid, and inactive, and almost before

Rivers Breaking Up.

DETROIT, Feb. 2.-The ice 10 the
Straits of Mackinaw has been decaying
rapidly for the bast or days and cross
ing is becoming very unsafe, Yesterday
several teams broke through and persons
iu charge Of them narrowly escaped drown
ing.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. About o'clock the
ice moved, and it is thought that the field
lying between Arsenal Island and Illinois
has given away and that a channel has
been opened on that side Of the island.
Should this prove true the Keokuk North
ern Line steamers are safe, and the proba-
bihties are that all other boats, barges, etc. !,
lying between the arsenal and bridge on
this side of the n,iver will escape injury.
| LATER. At this writing 10. 30 .. m,
the ice has stopped again aud the harbor
| is clear. From the fact thai the river has
risen some three riches since dark, it is
now believed that the gorge on both sides
Of Arsenal Island still holds fast. A steady
rain has been falling since about 5 p ~, ,and
steamboat men have strong hopes that the
Arsenal Island jam will break before
morning
