WASHINGTON, June 1.-The select committee
of the House of Representatives to investigate
the alleged frauds in Florida and Louisiana, in
the last Presidential election, began its exam
nation of witnesses to-day. There was large
attendance of newspaper men and others.
Messrs. Wilson and Shellabarger were present
as counsel for Secretary Sherman, and put on
record the fact that their not taking an active
part in the proceedings was in consequence of
the rule adopted by the committee that coun-
sci could only put questions to witnesses
through the chairman or some member. The
sub committee to visit Florida was announced
as Hunton, Springer and Hiscock. The com.
n,ittee was in session from 10 until 8 o'clock
The witness was

and in reply to the usual question he testified
he was a journalist by profession, and at pres
emit engaged on the Philadelphia Noith Anae1e

WASHINGTON, June Flames Z. Anderson,
the witness before the Potter investigating COM
mittee Saturday, in explanation of some of the
correspondence submitted, related interviews
which he had had with the President and with
Stanley Matthews. He had been offered con-
sulate to Funchal and had declined to accept
it. He then went to the President, and the
following is his account of the interview:
The President said he had received a letter
from Mr.. Matthews requesting him to give me
place, and he said at the same time he did
not see exactly what he could do. 1 said:
''Mr President, l appreciate the difficulties
under which you are laboring. l know that if
you give me a place-that is, any prominent
place-it will excite the attention of the
country and will cause unfavorable comment.

such man as shall designate, to one of the

Senator West, will withdraw all claims on
your administration" The President ponder

A HUMAN MONSTER.

Yesterday afternoon small boy came to
Robert Smith, the bridge-tender on the
railroad bridge over Brandywine, who cry
ing bitterly. On being asked what the
matter was, he answered that he had been
very badly beaten by man named George
M. D. Lyman, living between Newport and
Stanton. Mr.. Smith brought the boy to the
Police Station, and had warrant issued.
Officers Jones and Cloud made the arrest.
Lyman had a hearing last evening. The
boy, who is a bright little follow only IL
years old, testified that he had been sent by
LYMAN to cut dock, and because few were
not cut as low as required, he was taken
into the barn yard, where Lyman tied him
to post and beat him with carriage whip
in terrible manner. After being released
he ran away. A hired girl working for
LYMAN testified that this WAS but one Of
many similar acts of cruelty, the boy has
often been numerically beaten for trivial
offences. The boys hack was terribly
lacerated and covered with blood. I.
Lyman was fined $40 and costs, and the
boy was taken away from him, and returned
to the Children's Home in Philadelphia,
from whence he came six months ago.

cAJTsES THAT LED TO THE RECENT
QUEBEC OUTBREAK.

There has been very little work going on
here for several years; the timber trade has
almost dhd out, throwing hundreds of
men, only fit for such work upon the
streets, and the immigration policy OF the
government is constantly adding to an al
ready overhowing population. The con-
tract on the new parliamentary and depart
mental buildings have been paying wages
"a low in some instances as 80 cents per
diem to able-bodied men, heads of families.
In the saw mills and factories wages have
been lower than at any time in thirty years,
while the cost of living is equal to what 1t
was in the flush times of 1S7O-73. The
French Canadians can live comfortably on
what Americana would starve on, but they
cannot exist upon the wages now paid.
This has been the origin of the riots. The
poor have been actually starving. Many OF
The men who took part IN the riot lost their
little all in the recent great fire and have
earned little or nothing since Quebeet

THE BULGARIAN QUESTION.

The Bulgarian question will be likely to
come up for discussion first. then the Mon>
tenegrin and Servian questions, Prince Bis
marck having, 1t is said, submitted plan
for taking up the respective chapters of the
Treaty Of San Stefano In the order of their
Importance and Of the amount of opposition
they are likely to meet The questions
which threaten the success of the Congress
are believed to be the cessation of Antivari
to Montenegro; the position of Roumelia In
relation to Turkey, and of the administra-
tive and governmental organization of Rou-
melia. Austria and Italy will oppose the
cessation of Antivari. Russia alone. or
perhaps Russia and Germany, will uphold
1t, but this question may be compromised,
or Russia may yield. England, France,
Austria. Turkey, and perhaps Italy will op-
hold the anti~Russian arrangement and the
organization Of Roumelia. On these ques-
tions 1t is thought England and Austria
cannot yield. Her friends allege that she
will not, but such assertions are probably
intended to mislead and influence the forces
which are contesting Russia's claims. The
fact is the war party was banished from the
capital when General Ignatieff went to
Kieff. At least this Is the belief of we'll
qualified observers of Russian public
opinion.
Bessarabia will be yielded to the personal
wishes of the Czar, and Roumelia will acs
cept the Dobrudja in exchange. Terrific.
rial concessions in Armenia will not at least
meet opposition in England. The question
of war indemnity will be settled by the ap-
pointment of commission to collect the
Turkish revenues and pay over certain
proportion to Russia annually, or to capital
ize such proportion by foreign loan, and
pay the Russian claim In bulk. One nota-
BILE feature in all these speculatlens is that
they omit to take any account of possible
opposition from the Turks themselves.
This omission Is justiaable only on the
assumption that all the notifications of the
Treaty of San Stefano which the powers
will demand are to be in favor of Turkey,
which is not by any means certain.

ON THE WAR PATH.

Last night despite the rain fair audience
assembled at the foundry ,:expecting to hear
continuation of Saturday nights dissen-
sion. Mr.. Wells presided. The question
whether meetings should be held nightly or
three times week was debated, but at the
adjournment no decision was arrived at. It
was of the opinion Of Rev. Mr.. Mann, that
if such disgraceful scenes that had been en-
acted were to be repeated it would be better
to close the old foundry, and that If the
foundry folks wished to be successful in
their works they should abandon their old
mode of conducting the meetings and
adopt new ones. The excitement at the
old tent had died OUT, the thing that was
wanted was to get down to quiet, earnest
work. Rev. Mr.. Houston IN an address re-
ferred to the liquor law, he said people talk
of wanting new Mayor, ETC., who would
see the enforcement of the law, why should
we complain We don't carry out the laws
as they now stand.
Messrs. Wells, Fox, Bryant, Mann and
Houston had few personal tilts.
