MINISTER SEWARD CALLED 4 LIAR.
Hut not Untr Amer he had Given the Lie
TO Mr.. q. WILEY Wells.

WASHINGTON, Dec. &C. Wiley Wells tes-
tllod to-day before Mr.. Springer's committee.
which is investigating the charges against
Minister Seward. In the course Of his examina-
tion ho said that when he assumed charge OF
the office Of Consul General at Shanghai he dis
covered that documents had boon distracted and
records mutllated during the administration
Of Seward and Bradford. He referred espe-
cially to the fact that no papers were on file
showing tho Williams bequest to the Sailors.
Snug Harbor Hospital on Staten Island; but
Stewards counsel produced them, thus proving
that they had not been lost or destroyed. In
cross ss-examination Mr.. Wells said that the Con-
sul-Generals docket In judicial proceedings
had been kept In defective and irregular man
ner and that pages had been torn out, Reas-
sertinR this testimony. Mr.. Wells added that
tho docket had the appearance Of q butchers
book"
Minister Seward texcitedlyl-That IL falsel
Mr. Wells with still greater warmthl-If you
cay so you arc liarl
Mr. Seward was on tho point Of replying, but
Judge Merrick and members Of the committee
interposed to prevent further colloQuy. Mr..
Wells. however. informed Chairman Springer
thpt unless he could be protected by the com
miuee from such insulting interruptions he
must protect himself. Mr.. Springer assured
MIR. Wells that the committee would protect
him. and cautioned Mr. Seward that he must
not speak 10 the witness while under eXamina-
ton. except through his lawyer. The cross
examination then proceeded without eliciting
any new points OF interest.
