WASHINGTON, May 11.-There is much specu-
lation over the results Of conference held last
night between Morrison and Hewitt, at which
Speaker Carlisle was present, concerning what is
best to be done on the tariff question. Hewitt
denies that he proposes opresent a bill affecting
duties, but says he wishes to correct difficulties
in the present law by proposing amendments
thereto. Morrison seems bent upon pressing the
tariff question further but is reticent as to what
course will be pursued. Hewitt thinks it un-
wise, however. to precipitate another general
tariff debate, unless something can be accom-
plished, and the main object of the conference
was to determine that question.
KEILoGGs STATEMENT.
Ex-senator Kellogg states that the associated
press did not furnish the whole of his reply to
brewster, but left out what he said about Brew
sters drunkenness and other matters The fol-
lowing is the full text: lit is not true pleaded
the statute of limitation. The Judge, after the
testimony of Price was concluded, intimated to
my counsel and to the prosecution, that the case
was barred by statute, and my counsel, against
my expressed desire, advised that the case with
its attendant delays and expenses, ought not to
20 further. The attorney general knew
there was 10 good case against me from
the beginning, even with the testimony of
Price, and an indicted mail contractor who had
been promised immunity to testify. The Judge
did not say Price told the truth. The attorney
general having failed to make case, now resorts
10 false statements to cover his defeat and excuse
the expenditure of large sums of money Up to
the time | Went out of the senate the attorney
general repeatedly assured me and others that
there was no case against me. He repeatedly
said l should not be troubled. His statement
that besought him 10 stop proceedings is not
true, except that after grand jury, composed of
prominent men, had refused to indict me, went,
at the suggestion of a certain prominent
parsonage to his rooms at Worleys and said |
was being wantonly and unjustly prosecuted,
when he gave me Il note to one of the counsel for
the prosecution. lie was so intoxicated at the
time that he could scarcely get from his bed,
where he lay saturated with brandy, and 20 to
the table was compelled to steady him as he
wrote the note. At the very time
he was using Walsh as Il witness in the
star route cases, and against me, he was
writing letters saying that Walsh was
unscrupuious and unworthy Of belief. He
cannot deny this. And at the very time ne was
promising Price immunity to testify he was SOL
emmy asserting to several prominent persons
that he would not consent to give immunity to
an indicted mail contractor. Yet he did promise
immunity in a case where this contractor was in
dicted within the statute of limitations to testify
in case in which he was barred by the statute
and this while he was asserting that Price was
guilty and could be convicted. He knew there
was no case either in law in fact against
me and he knew that Ker, Il mere lawyers clerk
brought from Philadelphia, never got the benefit
himself of the $50, coo Brewster caused TO be
paid him for little more than Il years work at
drawing faulty indictments. People would be
astuuished if they knew the real reasons why all
contractors are given irsuunity and excepted
from prosecution. Brewster affects much
honesty, but those who know him best laugh at
such aiIectaton.'
CARLIsLE's CANDIDACY.
Tha editor, W. P Hoadly, who lived long in

with Il formal presentation of his name by Ken

BAYARD.
beneath these tendencies there is strong up
dercurrent, not without guidance by the way. in
favor OF the revival of the almost forgotten claims
of Bayard There never was presidential cam
paign since the present Bayard became a figure
in national politics where he was not more or less
thought of for the nomination, and to many it
has seemed that it was only question of time
when he would get it. I believe it to be true he
has been the first choice of the west and south
all along and that no candidate could compare
with him in the power to arouse enthusiasm.
