WHY serbia WAS WANTED.
The Importance of His Testimony
Against Emo.

NEW YORK. Dec. 4.-When United States
District: Attorney Mitchell heard that
Augustus M. Serbia had committed sui
eide in San Francisco he sent a
telegram to United States Marshal
Long requesting him to send a
photograph of the dead man. with full
description of any marks upon his
body which might identify him. Mitchell
said tonight: Three days before the
news that Serbia had committed suicide
caused subpoena to be issued for him as
witness against John G. Emo.
In 1884. after Emo had aDsc0nded with
S3,000.000 from the Second National Bank,
Serbia examined the accounts of that
bank. and made an investigation of Eno's
embezzlement. The case against Emo is to
come up for trial soon and Serbia was an
important witness.
Dispatches say that Serbia left q ote
requesting that his body be cremated at
once. These facts made il seem possible
that IL Serbia had fog any reason wished
to avoid testiiying in this case it would
not have been difficult matter to place
some of his papers in the pockets of an
other person.
/ received an answer to my dispatch
stating that the photograph and requests
and the details would be forwarded. un-
derstand now that the body has been en-
balmed and will be shipped to this city.
If the relatives identify the body as tn at
of Serbia that will be proof enough. A
pho tograph of the suicide with q full de-
scription of his body will probably arrive
in few days.

COMMENT IN CONGRESS.
Cleveland Has Betrayed the Ways
and Means Committee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The views of the
members of both Houses concerning the
message are freely expressed. Ex-Speaker
Reed said: ut is exceedingly disappoint-
ing, both in matter and manner. On the
Hawa allan question we are left as much in
the dark as ever. and must wait news by
the next steamer just as we have been
waiting so long. That part of the message
which relates to the tariff asseverates that
the House committee in charge of that
subject has formulated plans and devised
methods of taxation which as member of
the committee l have not even heard pro-
bosed. 1t is a rather unusual sensation to
learn of the deeds of q COMMITTEES. not in
the committee-room, but from the Presi-
dent OF the United States. Has that
committee ceased in form to be
composed Of both parties. and has
1t without even the formality of a
word in open committee Informed the
President of it's determination in such
way that he can officially communicate it
to the House? How long has 1t been
part of our system that committee of an
independent branch, and above all, the
committee which controls the purse, shall
report to Congress through the President?
Is this the result of the rumored blending
of the appointive with the legislative
power? 1t is bad enough to have the tariff
bill made up by little coterie. but to have
it communicated to the President before it
reaches even the committee, still less the
House, shows determination to be moved
by no facts and mod fed by no arguments.
which makes apparent the absurdity of ap-
hIi - q ho
Ways and Means at all"
Mr.. Springer approved of the reference
to Hawaii as che only course consistent
with international honor and comfy.
Holman said 1t is an able and forcible
document.
McCreary-Able and appropriate.
Dollver of Iowa-Wanting in definite
ness and makes no pretense to leadership
Of public opinion.
Wilson of West VirRinia-The message
is all right.
Tracey of New York-Heartily in ac-
cord with it.
Gear of Iowa-The President gives away
the Ways and Means Committee on the
income tax, will restore Liliuokalani and
agrees with Hancock that the tariff IS a
local issue.
Bynum Of Indiana-A clear and concise
statement.
Boutelle-The first executive document
which charges United States Minister
with maifeasance and treason.
Payne of New York-A remarkably dis
appointing document.
Dingley Of Maine = Voluminous and
wearisome.
Dalzell of Pennsylvania-Th portion on
the tariff shows that facts weigh nothing
with tariff reformers.
Hepburn of Iowa-The discussion of the
Hawaiian policy Is disappointing.
Represen tatives Geary and Mcguire both
said they thought the message was "a
statesmanlike and able document"
Mr.. Loud said: "It is a somewhat la
borious review Of national affairs, foreign
and domestic. 1t seems to lack the old.
