The special committee appointed by the
house of representatives to investigate the
charges made against Mr.. John Bailey, chief
clerk of the house, in connection with the
Gas Light company, met yesterday pursuant
to adjournment, the full committee being
present. Judge jeremiah N. Wilson repre-
scnted Mr. Bailey, and Mr. Coleman appeared
for Mr.. Klotz. Mr.. Coleman offered III evil
dence certain house documents to prove Mr..
Bailey's employment in the Office of the clerk.
Mr.. Wilson stated that he was willing to ad-
nit that Mr.. Bailey had been in the clerks
Office for thirty-threc years, and that during
this time moro than s2OOOO,OOO had passed
through his hands without u single error
or check at the Treasury department.
Mr.. Coleman also said they proposed
to prove by Mr.. G. b. Bailey, secretary
of the Washington Gas Light company, for
whom subpoena had been issued,
Mr.. John Bailey's connection with said COM
pany as n stockhOlder, director, clerk or em-

nesscs to prove the charges alleged in the res
olution of investigation Mr.. Murch said {:
"None whatever" Mr.. Barr, of Pennsyl-
vania, was present in answer to subpoena
issued at the request of Mr.. Bardwell, but
Mr.. Bardwel had no questions to ask him
and stated to the committee that the reso-
luton was not as broad as he thought
it was, inasmuch as it only permitted the in
vcstigaton of Mr.. Bailey. DIR. CLAWS, also
one of Mr.. Bardwell's witnesses appeared,
but Mr.. Bardwell had no questions to ask
him. The chairman asked the doctor, Have
you any personal knowledge of the charges
contained in the resolution" to which he
replied, "None whatever" Mr.. Crowley
asked the same question of Mr.. Klotz, and re-
ceived the same reply, and Mr.. Bardwell also
replied to like question, that he had no per-
sonal knowledge of the charges made. There
being no other witnesses present, Mr.. Coleman
asked an adjournment for two or three days,
in the hope that in such time he might get
together his witnesses. The committee then
adjourned until next Tuesday ut 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Murch remarked, in conversation yester-
day, that the very men who had most to say
about the matter in the way Of accusation,
did not show up. The investigation will 60
