Out of the Adjournment.

There is no probability that the Lexov
Committee will continue its present Sum-
mer session after the close of the COM
ing week.
Mr.. Goff. the counsel OF the Commit
tee, has decided that an adjournment
shall then be taken until the Fail. and

HE has given his personal attention
to every detail OF the testimony. has
had the responsibility OF the entire in
