Why Matthews Doa't wansf. tp.

CHICAGO, June l2th.-The Tri.
bune says: We print dispatch
from Columbus, Ohio, this morning
which presents the most reasona-
BILE theory of Senator Matthews's
disinclination to appear before the
Potter Committee and the one said
to be held by Matthews's friends.
1t is, in brief, that Mr.. Matthews is
now conscious that he permitted
Anderson to hoodwink and deceive
him and that he is ashamed to
make frank confession of the fact.
The story told leaves little doubt
that Anderson first played upon
Mr.. Matthews's sympathy and af-
terwards used Mr.. Matthews with
out the latter's suspecting that he
was to be the basis for working up
the story which the said Anderson
has since told before the Potter
Committee.

Is open to the charge of
tamperlng with witness. The
Democrats were greatly disap-
pointed at Darrell's unwillingness
to testify. He has been talking very
plainly to them for day or two
and even up to 10 O'Clock this
morning was pouring tales of his
wrongs into the willing ears of Nc
Mahon. just before he went on
the stand, Hayes sent for him. and
from that time DarrelPs tone
changed. After the close of the ex-
animation to-day he received an.
other summons from the White
House and has been closeted there
long time this evening.
