The Witne.se. Examined.
The witnesses already summoned show
that evidence contrary TO Mr.. Blounts re-
port IS rather sought than otherwise and
ihe impression generally prevails that the
Democratic majority on the subcommittee
would rather leave the action OF the Presi-
dent open 20 criticism than 10 so 10 any
great length 10 find supporting facts and
circumstances.
Senators Frye and Sherman are the two
Republican members OF the subcommittee
The former is personal friend OF eX-
Minister stevens, and both can be counted
on to see that the Harrison administra-
ton Is freed from all blame but some
how or other there Is an indescribable
discrepancy somewhere whenever Demo-
Gratis are called upon. They are some
what like "a lot Of lady soprano singers

sing together. they an want TO sing solos

dorses the course of Inspector Baker he
