was satisfied that the discrepancy
would be discovered after the bill was
printed, but he naturally desired to save
the committee from the criticism which
would follow SO palpable a blunder.

With reference to The giving OF a
letter to Mr.. Havemeyer, Introducing
that gentleman 10 Senator Mills. the
following statement is made:
That was a mere matter of courtesy
and routine. When Mr.. Havemeyer
presented himself at the treasury de-
partment, he was Informed that he
should call upon those who were franz
ing the bill.
Mr.. Havemeyer had slight acquaint
ance with Mr.. Mills. and in order to
with this senator, Secretary Carlisle,
at the request of Mr.. Havemeyer, gave
him a note Of introduction.
There was nothing improper or un-
usual in this. Similar letters had been
given by Mr.. Carlisle to gentlemen who
called upon him in connection with the
ers who were personally known, and
rates fixed by the committee.
The story that Mr.. Carlisle called on
the committee OF his motion and insisted
that a certain schedule for sugar should
be adopted, for the reason that the
sugar trust had made liberal contribu-
ton to the Democratic funds, is denied,
