THE Hull InYestigatiOn.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Hill
investigating committee resumed its
session. Thomas, council for Hill, OBJ
jected to charges filed by
Murch, upon the ground
that they are not specific
and definate, whereupon Coleman
counsel for Murch, submits ed charges
that in 1877 Hill entered into certain
contracts which were grossly unfair
to the government, in that he agreed
to pay certain contractors far in ex-
cess of the value OF material furnished.
Coleman stated to the committee that
it was the purpose of the prosecution,
in the case of the Philadelphia build
ing, to show the amount of money
which the government, through Hills
contract, had been compelled to pay
in excess of the mai ket value of ma
terials used. Computations were
necessary, and further he required
them before going on with this
branch of the investigation. After
some consultation it was agreed that
calculations should be made for
six stones In each case, and they
should be taken as an aver
age for the entire building.
Thomas, for the defense gave notice
that they would ask the committee
tn summon every witness mentioned
III the papers of the prosecution, and
they would insist up IN the right to
croSs-examine them. Adjourned till
Monday.
