tombstone dies a martyr to his devotion to
his profession bright enough to exalt
mere journalist in the eyes OF his English
comrades. Two lines IN The Times, half dozen in
of the other papers, none in some of them are
thought enough. The time will come when the nm
worthiness of this will be felt, and when English
journalism will acknowledge ITS debt TO man who
has done so much to enlarge It's share of public con-

Without concluding the examination
of the witness, the committee went into
executive session, and afterwards ad-
journed till Wednesday.
The witness Weber will be further ex-
amined tomorrow by the Potter Com
mittee on some of the main points of his
testimony and the committee will ad.
iourn until the 18th instant. As it is not
desirable to keep Weber waiting in this
city in the meanwhile, it WINS the under
standing to-day that his examination
should be completed in New Orleans. 1t
is reported tonight that after short ses'
sion next week the committee will prob.
ably adjourn until September.

THE NEW ORLEANS BRANCH.

New Orleans, July 3.-The Potter Sub.
committee met at 1880. No witnesses
appearing, a recess was taken, and the
committee reassembled at 1910, when
]. P. Harries took the stand.
The witness testified he prepared, at
PaCkard's suggestion, and fled with the
Returning Board, the paper known as
the Packard general protest, which GOV.
cred several parishes. The object of FL
ing it was to induce the Returning Board
to defer action until testimony could be
collected from the parishes; was acting as
attorney for Packard; the Circuit Court
room, at the Custom-house, was where
many affidavi8 were prepared that were
used before the Returning Board; when
witnesses came from parishes Harries
heard their statements and wrote them
out in legal form; his duties were mere
ly clerical. Witness thinks he assisted
Don Weber in the preparation of his
protest for West FeliCiana parish; Weber
left said protest with witness to file with
the Returning Board or as he (witness)
might think proper. Weber said to wit
ness, "IfTilden and Nichols are elected,
and my protest goes in, my property in
Feliciana will be worthless, as l could
not live there; but if you think the Re-
publicans will succeed, you can send the
protest to the Returning Board" l af-
terward filed the protest. A number of
clerks in the Custom-house were engaged
several weeks preparing afidavits.
To Mr.. Reed-The paper I prepared
for Governor Packard was merely pre-
liminary statement, such as is authorized
by section of the Election Law.
VIM. Simpson testified Was formerly
Private Secretary to Col. Casey, after
ward for seven years cashier of customs.
Witness was relieved from duty by Col
leCtor King. Soon afterward he met
friend Who had been dismissed from SER
vice in the Custom-house. This friend
whose name witness positively refused
to divulge, told witness he was in Gov.
Kellogg's Office, and saw a member Of
tie Returning Board receive $4,000 be-
fore he signed the proceedings Of the
Returning Board The member refused
to sign until the money was paid. This
member and witness friend and inform.
ant are now employed in the Custom.

My dear sir, you will please forward to
me or Mr.. Shellabarger, list of names
of parties to be summoned before the
committee as to outrages committed in
East and West Feliciana; as to what each
man knows, and briefly what can be pro-
ven by him. Tell Minnie MRS. D. A.
Weber, what she asked me to attend to
feel confident now that will succeed
in. She is certain to be witness, and

pointment2 Ifnot let me know at once.
Write me fully. My matter is all right.

from Donaldsonville on the day it was
received or the day after, as follows:
II am in receipt of your favor of the
9th. In reply thereto must say that
it will be extremely difficult to procure
good and reliable witnesses from the Fe-
licianas to testify about alleged outrages

Weber here desired to read written
statement upon this point, which be said
he had prepared four or five days ago an
tiCipating this subject would be inquired
into by the committee. He was not al
lowed to read it, however, and went on
to say: remember of seeing Mr.. Sher-
man write in the Custom House either
the 10Th or 10th of November. Garfield,
Hale, Stoughton, Sherman and others

and read the writing he was making
All Republican witnesses were taken in
there to them, and was in there they had
conferences and talked together. While
l was there, saw Mr.. Sherman write
very distinctly. looked at him a min
ute or two. On that occasion he told me
to go and get my brother, D. A. Weber
and James E. Anderson. The statement
contained in my written answer that l
saw Secretary Sherman write and knew
his hand writing is based on these occur
renCes that have related.
