in an interview to-day, says:
Anderson denies that the paper pro-
duced i'll the Committee yesterday was the
original joint agreement, as it is called,
which he placed in my hands. can not,
of course, say much about the matter now
in view of the investigation the Senate has
accorded me- but will say that if that is
not the original paper there never was one
The true solution of Anderson's denial is
that there never was such Joint
agreement. The one he gave me was
a forgery of Mr.. Weber's name. Weber
never signed it nor any other. Ander-
son is evidently startled by finding
that we are able to show that that

would destroy those papers. He made and
kept copies of them before he gave them to
me, thinking I would destroy those l had,
and then he would produce his; but he has
been disappointed.
STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS TO COME.
The next sensation the Potter Committee
expects to give to the country will be the
publication of EX-Congressman Darrell's
letter to Anderson.
These letters, it is said give complete
history of the alleged frauds committed in
Louisiana. Darrell became discontented
with some OF the Republican man

Anderson he talked plainly of matters A
member of the Potter Committe says the
developments already made are as nothing
compared to what is to come within few
days.
