to. day, and there is much comment of an
unfayorable nature upon the announcement
that it will be further considered by the
Cabinet Council next Tuesday. Delay and
postponements of this kind very naturally

a strongly controverted measure awaiting the
Presidents approval, and in view of Arthur's
veto of the former Chinese bill, there are
of course special grounds for mistrust concern.
ing his action upon this measure It should
be borne in mind, however, the bill was not
officially sent to him until this morning /;
that several other matters required immediate
attention that Attorney General Brewster,
whose opinion would naturally be desired in
Cabinet consultation OH any such subject,
was not in town to-day, and, above all, that
President Arthur is partially inclined to pro-
crsstinate his decisions on all important
questions.
rhe Morey Letter Once More" Hunting

WASHINGTON, May 5th.-It appears prob
able that "Colonel" Horatio Hercules Had
ley. who acquired notoriety during the last
presidential campaign as Secretary of the
Hancock Republican Club in New York,
will soon emerge from his obscurity again,
and engage public attention, for a short time
at least. For the last eighteen months,

ried in his efforts to discover the author of the
Morey letter forgery. More than a year ago
certain information furnished to Davenport
led him to believe that if Re would, Colenel
Hadley could give some valuable information
on this subject, and it appears that Daven-

trustworthy source that Davenport has sue.

knew about the matter, which is good deal
Among the facts thus obtained is one that
the forgery was concocted in the Hancock
Republican Club. Hadley, it is understood,
has also disclosed the manner in which the
letter was placed in possession Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee. It is further
stated that Hadley's disclosures have con-
vinced those to whom they were made that
Abram s. Hewett was merely imposed

Examination Continued.
WASHINGTON, May 5th.-The examination
of Senator Blair was resumed this morniBg.

sirous of aiding Shipherd. 1 asked the Score

with tbs same light. I've no apology to offer

of any value unless the agreement with Peru
had been carried out There was no organized
company at that time.
Being asked how he and General Grants
opinion sgreed on the matter. witness hoped
the committee would not make personal
queries. He had heard Grants views in
various ways, but none OF his expressions of
opinion were discreditsble TO Grant; but, on
the contrary, the attitude of the State De
psrtment was never stated any more fully
than indicated in B!aine's Instructions given
in June. Witness would not say that Ship.
herd had willfully misrepresented him. Tne
committee could judge of Sdipherd them
selves. Witness had never put things in SO
strong light as Shipherd's hopeful nature
had conceived. He did not hear Blaine say.
I" l don't think that will fetch him. upon the
occasion when Shipherd told Blaine that he
had offered Hurlbut /. bribe. Witness knew
nothing of the Arizona letter until it was
sent.

Blair's duty in the case, but nothing was de-
veloped except the personal opinions of wit
