FROM WASHINGTON.
THE HILL INVESTIGATION.
More Trouble About Papers.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.
At the opening of the Hill investigation,
today, Thomas submitted a number of letters
in general answer to the charges against
Bartlett, Robbins & Co., and Coleman for the
prosecution, submitted the testimony of Gen.
Stinemetz which was given before the House
committee on public buildings. Coleman
then called for all vouchers for money paid
to George l. Damon since August, 1876, for
iron safes or fire proof shutters also for all
vouchers for money paid Bartlett, Robbins
& Co. or Hayward. Robbins & Co., the pres
ent firm, for work done or materials fur
nished by them to the government since Au-
gust 1876.
Objection was made and protracted ar
gument ensued.
The committee. after consultation. ruled
that the counsel should be permitted to inspect
all papers included in his call and should
submit them to the committee.
Gen. StinemetZ then took the stand. The
witness was assistant superintendent of the
New York postoffice, and had charge of all
the work.
Bills rendered by Bartlett, Robbins & Co,
were then put in as evidence. Witness read
over The items and said there were charges
for extra work for which he (Stinemetz)
never gave any order.
At this point a number of vouchers which
had been called for the prosecution were
brought in, and the committee adjourned un.
til tomorrow.

The republican State convention met at Il

after which \ recess was taken.
On reassembling at o'clock, the commit

in the State was fully represented With no
contested delegations. Col ID. Hender-
son of Dubuque was made permanent chair
man. He made q speech. pledgins the party

Enthusiastically applauded. One of the vice

former slave who has been sold on the block.
Buren r. Sherman was nominated for gov
ernor. A, H. Manning for lieutenant govern
or, and Prof. Akers of Lynn for superintend-
ent Of public instruction, all by acclamation.
The convention then proceeded to an inform
al ballot for supreme Judge. Before the first
ballot was concluded, it became apparent
that Judge Reed was successful. and he was
declared the nominee of the convention by
reclamation.
The platform pledges the party to legisla-
ton which shall prohibit the liquor traffic.
condemns unjust discrimination against non
competing points by railroad combinations,
and pools and demands legislative interfer-
ence, and conpemns free railroad passes to
State officials. The tariff plank is as fol-
lows:
Stability is desirable in such public policy
as relates to and effects all productive INDUS
tries, and we condemn the threat of Iowa
democrats to disturb and keep at unrest said
industries, and the capital and labor en-
ployed therein, by gradual and persistent
efforts to so change the customs laws as to
establish free trade, and insist upon such
revenue laws as will encourage American
industries and protect American labor, in
order that American workingmen shall have
fair days wages for a fair days work and
tend to assure permanent employment.
After arraigning the democratic party for
its failure to enact needed Legislation while ii
had majority in the House of Representa-.
tives, the platform concludes as follows:
The wise, conservative administration OF
President Arthur, meets with the hearty ap-
proval of the republicans of Iowa, and we
cordially approve of the promise given BY
him to the delegation appointed by the Phil
adelphia convention of Irish-American citi
zens, that the subject of grievance contained
in the resolution of said body presented to
him, should have thorough and inexhaustive
investigation, and such action as the govern
mept might lawfully take.

Secretary for Ireland Denies Pauper
Immigration.

LONDON, June 2S.
Trevelyn, chief secretary for Ireland, in
the House of Commons said the reports about
the landing of the paupers in America were
greatly exaggerated. He said the steamer
Anchora took no inmates of any wOrkhouse
and that all immigration sent by the COM
missioner had been supplied with friends.
No paupers had been sent out. By the board
of guardians it is also stated that no definite
offer for sending emigrants to Canada had
been received from the Dominion govern
ment.
Mr.. Trevelyan also said that kilograms
from America on the subject should be re-
ceived with great caution. He said the
Furnessia took out 42l emigrants, of whom
only five families had been in the workhouse.
and in each of these cases friends in America
had offered them homes. He had himself
seen all the tickets of the emigrants. includ-
ing the railway tickets from the other side
They had also checks for the amount of land
ing allowance, which for adults is one pound
and for childden ten shillings each. Trevelyan
said the questions relating to the American
government in the matter should be addressed
to the foreign Office, as his business was simp-
ly to ascertain whether the administrative
details of the Irish emigration were carried
ont as far as possible. Lawther, conserva-
tive, gave notice that he would at an early
day call attention to the subject
