WASHINGTON, May Sin the house Mr..
Bryce. of New York. rising to S question
of privilege, read the language used by
Mr.. WOODBURY., Of Nevsda, in reference
to E~1-Congressman Hewitt hav-
ing ~apoiogized to the British minister for
offering a resolution of inquiry as to the
case of O'Donnell. under sentence Of
death in Crest Britsin. Mr.. Bryce stated
that he had denied the correctness of the
statement and he had read a telegram
from Mayor Hewitt theoretically denying
that he had ever so a~pologized. Mr..
Bryce also sent to the clerks desk and
had read a statement made by Minister
West in 1884, denying that Mr.. Hewitt
had apologized to him for his part in the
matter.
Mr.. Woodburn, of Nevada. said that he
had never in his life knowingly made a
charge that he could not s~ubstantiate. He
did not regard the statement of the Brit
ish minister as a denial of the charge. In
fact it was an admission. When he
Woodbury. made these charges he was
informed by a reputable gentleman in
Washington, who was on the floor at the
time, that he was one of the committee of
three representatives delegated by
the Irish organization of Amer
lea to investigate the truth
of the charge made against Mr..
Hewitt. That gentleman stated to him
that the result of that investigation
was that Hewitt was guilty of the charge.
Mr.. Brumm, of Pennsylvania, said that
Mr.. Bryce would bear him out in the
statement that after the controversy a
few days ago they had looked over the
record together. He still maintained
that the charge was false or at least not
correct. His recollection was that Mr.,
Hewitt had made an explanation on the
floor, but whether it was made on the
floor or not, the explanation (the mildest
term that he could use) was made by
Hewitt before the committee IN foreign
affairs. Mr.. Hewitt appeared before
the committee and made a
statement, but it was not made in the
presence of any body interested on the
other side. He submitted that the ex-
PLANTATION, If not an apology, was enough
to convince the committee that it ought to
accommodate Hewitt by going no further
into the subject.
The matter was then dropped and the
house went into committee of the whole
on the tariff bill.

PHILADELPHIA, May 4.-The Times
win publish tomorrow the following
.sippie loaded special from New York
which it will endorse as coming direct
from the most authentic sources:
NEW YORK, May Al have positively
reliable information that the friends OF
Blaine have, within the last three days,
received direct from him his assent TO an
aggressive movement for his renomina-
ton for the presidency and the assurance
that If nominated in the face OF
HIS FLORENCE LETTER
of dectination he would not feel at liberty
20 decline. A general and systematic eff
fort has been made by Blaine's close
friends, such as Chairman Jones, William
Walter Phelps, Whitelaw Reid, Charles
Emory Smith and others, for two months
past, &c get Blaine into the attitude Of a
massive candidate. The Washington con-
ference was only part Of the varied meth
DDS by which influences had been brought
to bear upon Blaine and the publication
of his portrait, freshly taken from life in
Italy and issued by Judge this week, was
decided on more than a month ago as 'he
. starting point for the avOwed effort to
make Blaine a candidate.
EVERY POSSIBLE PRESSURE
has been put upon Blaine to get from
him direct assurance that he will not de-
cline If nominated, and that assurance has
been received in this city from
Blaine within the last three days.
In very few days more it will to
be a secret that Blaine is in the h. Of
his friends. as Blaine will at once come 70
the front and make an aggressive cam
paign for his denomination. This move
ment has been pretty clearly t~oreshadoW-
ed for some weeks in such Blaine organs
as the Tribune of this city, and the Phlla-
delphia Press. All attectati0n about
Blaine's candidacy will now soon be
thrown off and the battle made aggres-
sive. Part of the original programme
was the election of Charles Emory Smith
as a delegate at large from your state and
the failure was a great surprise 10 Blaine,
but Smith gives assurance that Blaine
can command u majority of the Pennsyl-
pania delegation under any circumstances,
aud that if Blaine'S nomination
shall seem to be assured, the delegation
will be solid for him. The united eX-
pressions in Massachusetts, and Vermont
for Blaine were not accidental nor are
THEY "yPE
to Blaine's friends. When all of the anti
Blaine men were posing on their arms be-
cause they regarded Blaine as out Of the
fight the friends of Blaine were most en-
ergetic In their work in two anti-Blaine
New England states and they got posses
sion OF Vermont and Massachusetts, while
the others were sleeping. 1t was the ex-
pressions of these hitherto and-Blaine
New England states that made Blaine
cast aside his doubts. II is now a posi-
tive fact that Blaine is in the field; that
his friends have his assent TO the move
ment in bis favor and that he will be
nominated at Chicago if hard work and
plenty Of enthusiasm can accomplish It.

line Carter Showed Up.
CHICAGO, May S.-A wealthy New York
merchant and a lawyer of the same city
were today put upon the list with Actor
Kyrle Bellew, and many other well known
people, who are unpleasantly involved in
the sensational divorce proceedings be-
tween Leslie Carter, the Chicago lawyer,
and his handsome wife, Mrs.
Caroline Louise Carter. The accu-
sation against the merchant is made
in an affidavit by Mrs. Mary H. Morrisey,
of Jacksonville, Fla, filed this afternoon
on behalf of the husband, Leslie Carter.
Mrs. Morrisey IS aow part owner of vim
ter resort in Jacksonville, but was former
Iy employed at the Cooper house, Coopers
town, N. Y, where Mrs. Carter and her
boy boarded for a time. Alta ball given
in the hotel during August, 1882, Mrs.
Morrisey was asked by Miss Dora Critten-
den, who was one of the dancers, to pin
up her skirt which had become loose.
To do so Mrs. Morrisey went TO her room
with Miss Crittenden. The gas Jet was
near the window, looking out on the ho-
tel grass plat, and as Mrs. Morrisey turn
ed up the flame she saw Mrs. Carter and
the New York merchant on the grass in
a compromising position. Mrs. Morri-
sey asked Miss Crittenden to hand her .
pitcher of water and the contents Of the
pitcher were dashed by her on the couple
below. Both arose hurriedly and disap-
peared. Mrs. Carter was wearing q light
colored silk dress, and Mrs. Morrisey
afterward saw her entering the hotel and
noticed how the elegant garment was
splashed. Mrs. Morrisey's affidavit then
tells how,in 1888 at 3 a. m. she suddenly
came upon james A. Pierce, the New
York lawyer, standing just inside the
door of Mrs. Carter's room with Mrs. Car
ter. The latter was in her night dress.
Mrs. Morrfsey also encountered Mrs.
Carter in the hall one night embracing a
military officer. On cross examination
Mrs. Morrisey reluctantly gave the name
of the merchant as a MI. Gregory. She
did not know his initials. He was q cot
lager at Cooperstown and a married man.

The BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The Prices of Commodities Show a Con-
siderable Decline.

AAS
siderable Decline.
NEW YORK, May Ar. G. Dun & Co.
in their Weekly Trade Review say:
makes all the difference whether the stu
alton is observed by prophet or photo
grapher. The streets are full of prophets,
who see sure indications favorable or IN
favorable, and the prevailing impression
regarding the future is decidedly hopeful.
But the facts as they stand disclose an un-
certain state of business, with slight i'm
prUvement in some branches and inCTeas-
ing depression in others; but hesitation
and waiting on all sides. The net result
has peel a little advance in the prices Of
securities, with considerable decline in
the prices of commodities. Anxiety
about money has been dispelled by the
reasury purchase of bonds, but it is still
uncertain whether the secretary will be
able much longer to get enough bonds to
prevent the accumulation of money. The
prospect Of a reduction of the revenue
does not increase. At interior towns
money Is generally in ample supply for
existing demands.
Reports of trade from interior points
are not enthusiastic. Inactivity or quiet is
the prevailing feature, with more frequent
complaints Of slow collections. The clear
fngs of banks outside of New York con
tinue to slightly exceed those of last year,
but less than the difference in prices,
which implies the transfer Of q slightly
smaller quantity Of products.
Speculation in wheat has been rather
active, but the net advance in price ~
only a quarter Of = cent with the same in
corn, while oats decliaed half a cent.
Reports of injury to wheat have become
more definite. but the telegraph brings
news of extensive rains at Denver, Omaha,
Milwaukee and California.
Pork products, hogs and cotton, are q
little higher and oil has risen one and me
third cents. Coffee and sugar are IN
changed. The southern supply Of iron
increases. The general trading for the
past month has seen a decline Of nearly
four per cent in the prices of CommOd-
tiles rs a whole, Notwithstanding the
strength in the grain and produce mar
kets. Stocks are about seventy-fve cents
per share higher than a week ago.
