In Which He Is Slowly but Surely
Burying His Party.
Washington, June 4.-The investi-
CATION into alleged frauds in Louisiana
and Florida at the last Presidential
election, was resumed to-day. Chair
man Potter read q communication
from the Secretary of State in reply TO
the request of the committee to the
effect that the original returns from
Florida and Louisiana were not in his
department, and was unable to forward
them to the committee. Jas. E. An
derson was recalled, and said there
we're numerous corrections he desired
to make in his testimony of Saturday.
These were made, but were unimpor-
tant, and his cross-examination was
begun by Representative Reed in refer
ence to an agreement signed by Nash
and witness (Anderson), to suppress all
evidence offered in East Feliciana
parish. The witness (Anderson) was
subjected to a severe cross-examination,
and contradicted himself point blank
in many important respects. He said
his statement to the Democrats that
they carried the parish of East Felic-
lana by legitimate means, was true.
In the course of his answers he ac-
knowledged that he had Intentionally
and under oath misled the Senate in
vestigating committee while at New
Orleans, for the purpose of carrying
out the bargain he had entered into.

The Truth May Yet be Known.
New York, June 4.-Owing to re-
cent contradictory publications con-
corning the Bennett-May duel, Mr..
Bennett telegraphs from Paris his
withdrawal of the injunction Of secrecy
imposed upon the seconds. He says
he will be here in July, and if public
opinion deems it just that he should
suffer legal penalties, he is perfectly
willing to bow to that decision and
submit to the laws of the land.

More About the Attempt to Assassinate
the Emperor.
Berlin, June At seems that after
the shooting of the Emperor Sunday,
when the enraged populace broke into
Nobeling's apartment, he fired twice at
them, severely wounding Holtfeur, an
inn keeper. The crowd seeing the lat
ter bleeding supposed he was the assas-
sin and fell upon him. He was so
roughly handled before the people dis
covered their mistake that his life is
despaired of. After the second shot,
Modelling shot himself. He was instant
ly seized and placed in a prison van.
As the driver passed rapidly through
the archway at the entrance his head
struck the arch with such violence that
his neck was dislocated, he dying al
most instantly.
DIR. Modelling admits his earnest SYM
pathy with the Ultramontanes and So
cialists. He had accomplices, and
though he had no reason to spare them,
would mention no names just then.
The Office of shooting the Emperor de-
volved upon him by drawing lots, and
he said he believed it would be to the
public interest were the head of the
State to be removed. The greatest ex-
citement and afiliction continues. The
crime will produce grave consequences.

Coast Election.

Portland, June 4.-Election returns
are coming in very slowly. Sufficient
has been received to induce the Demo-
Gratis to believe that Whitaker is
elected to Congress. Earhart, Repub-
lican, is generally conceded to be elect
ed Secretary Of State. Nothing car
be definitely said concerning the re.
mainder of the state ticket. The
growing impression is that the legis.
lature will be Democratic, but the re
suit cannot be positively stated for two
or three days.
