said that in his Endorsement on Secretary Lin
cOln's letter he had intended to deny, absolutely
and completely, every accusation OF fraud or at
tempt at fraud, or knowledge of or connection
in any possible manner with negotiations of
fraudulent pay accounts. He said he had thought
the most positive denial he could make was to
state the facts as he remembered them in all
transactions, rather than content himself with a
plain denial His Endorsement was thus, he
thought, a specific denial. The witness denied
that he had, in a talk about arbitration, agreed
to surrender the due bill to Bateman, as asserted
by the latter in his testimony, and also denied
another statement made by Bateman in his tes-
timony, that he (Bateman) had consulted with
the witness about arrangements to settle Colonel
Morrow's pay accounts.
At this point tho witness was turned over
to Mr.. Chandler for cross-examination He was
vigorously questioned as to his knowledge as to
the standing of his accounts with Bateman &

ferences between the statement prepared at his

accounts furnished him by the firm. Mr.
Chandler pointed out two transactions in stocks

he had no recollection of the transactions, and
could not say whether there had been
any such, but would not say there

He had no recollection of ever having noticed

involving the names of John c. Emo and the Sec

banking and Stock Exchange circles Recent
disclosures about overcertifcation of checks have
made banks cautious, thus yesterday the Cont

postors.
1.-THE principal rumor ON the street yesterday
was one which affected the credit of the Second
National Bank No. 100, Fifth avenue and of
which John c. Emo is president Mr.. Emo is a
son of Amos r. Emo. the principal owner of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, who is estimated to be sew
eral times a millionaire, his money being
chiefly invested in real estate up town. 1t has
been stated that Emo had involved the Second
National to the amount of s., 600, 000 and that
the bank would have been obliged to suspend had
not Amos r. Emo come to the rescue and made
up to the bank the amount of his sons losses
The report that the bank was in trouble was de
MED early in the afternoon, but when it became
trouble it was remembered that Jno. c. Emo was
one of the principal customers of the firm
and this gave rise to further speculation as to the
extent Emo had become involved i'll the rapidly
declining stock market. At the office of A. Dyett
& Co., in the basement of No so Broadway.
there was an anxious throng of credit
ors all afternoon. Late in the
day Dyett returned from the bank

THE HEWITT TARIFF BILL.
Its Authors Threat to Resign-Views of
Messrs. Hurd and Blackburn.

Its Authors Threat to Resien-Views of
Messrs. Hurd and Blackburn.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 13-Great interest is man
ifested as to the fate of the Hewitt tariff bill.
Mr.. Hewitt, it is said proposes to resign from
Congress if his bill is not given early considera
ton in the ways and means committee and sub
mitted to the House for its vote. Such action
on the part of Mr.. Hewitt would render special
election nhis district necessary to fill out his
unexpired term in the present Congress. Mr..
Hewitt has definitely decided that he will not
be a candidate for reelection, but the report
that he contemplates resigning unless his bill is
specially favored creates some surprise among
his friends Still, Mr. Hewitt is given to doing
unexpected things.
Colonel Morrison was to have attendeda a meet
ing of the ways and means committee this morn
ing, but learning that Wizards Hotel. where he
stops, was on fire, he left the Capitol in hot
haste to save the free trade literature with
which his rooms were fairly stocked.
Y our correspondent made an effort to-day to
ascertain the feelings of members of the ways
and means committee as to the fate of Mr. Hew-
tits bill Mr.. Hurd said he was satisfied that it
would be impossible to secure as general support
for the Hewitt bill as had been given to the
Morrison bill. He did not believe that Mr. Nor
rson would report the bill unless there was some
assurance that it would pass. Mr.. Hurd said he
had not yet consulted with his colleagues on the
ways and means committee to learn their views,
but was under the impression that they would
not differ materially from those entertained by
himself
Senator elect Blackburn, of Kentucky, also of
the ways and means committee spoke in very
similar strain, saying that in his opinion the
Morrison bill made better showing before the
House than the Hewitt bill would, if reported

The Elections Committee Decides to Give
the Seat to English.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, May 13-By vote of to 3,
the House committee on elections to day agreed
to seat Mr.. English. There were but eight of
the fifteen members of the committee present.
Those voting in favor of English were j. j.
Adams, Lowry Robertson, Converse and Ben
nett those in favor of Peele were Hart, Petit
bone and Hepburn 1t is understood that the
Democratic, as well as the Republican members
of the committee absent were favorable to Mr..
Peelle and it is said the Democrats preferred
absenting themselves to either supporting him
against the wishes of others of their party or
stultifying themselves by voting for Mr.. English.
A Democratic member of the committee who
was present at the meeting to day. said to the
Journal correspondent that the case is liable to
be called up in the House any day now, and that,
inasmuch as Mr. English was urging it, it
would not be allowed to remain quiet long.

THAT PROMISED EXPLANATION.


How the Randall Democrats Will Explain,
and When 1t Will Be Done.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Representative Con
verse, of Ohio, has dropped hint to the Jour
nal correspondent in reference to the proposed
explanation the Democrats who voted against
the Morrison tariff bill will make. Some of the
Democratic journals of the country who were
so rampant for tariff reform have demanded in
stentorian tones, since Mr.. Eaton, of Con
necticut, intimated that an explanation would
be made, that it be made at once.
Mr.. Converse says another tariff bill will prob
ably be offered just before the close of the ses-
sion; that it will not be considered before next
winter, and that it will indicate a line of tariff
reform that can be made, and which will not eff
feet the best interests of our manufacturers.
1t is understood among the Republicans in the
House. and the anti-reform Democrats, that
this is the explanation that will be made-that
is, the bill will show the principles of those
Democrats, and accompanying the bill will be
the explanation of their votes last week.
Some one asked Colonel Morrison what he
thought of the tariff principles of the Randall
