WASHINGTON, d. c., July S.-The ex-
,ecutiye session Of the Senate. held just

largely 10 cases to which there was no
objection, but no time Of any consequence
was given to any one case. With the

would inevitably result in defeat, and on
this account a number of nominations
went over Among them were those OF
Hamilton G.. Ewart, TO be Judge Of the
District Court for the Western District
of North Carolina, and Edward Il. Meek.
to be Judge of the Northern District of
Texas. The southern senators renewed
their objection to the nomination of some
of the northern men appointed to places
in southern regiments, and some of these
went over. The following are among the
other nominations which failed of con-
frmation:

i've to the words "any other fee.Y

give to the words amy other fee"?
Mr.. Barbee; None; and we did not IN
tend to. because we did not feel that was
a proper thing to be inquired into.
Senator Pasco: You realized, then, that
you were Withholding information from
Senator Bate.
Mr.. Barbee: The way 1 would put 1t Is
that we realized we were doing a thing
the proprlety of which the Senator him
self must see. Senator Bate made an in
qury which ne himself would have re-
sented under similar circumstances. and
we felt that he was entitled to a state
ment OF what fee we were to pay.
Senator Warren: Why did you not say
so in your telegram?
Mr.. Barbee: That would have been Of
fenslve. We did not want to make that
statement, and so We just left 1t where
it was.
THE WHOLE TRUTH.
Senator Pasco: You do not like the
term withholding" You know that a.
witness on the stand swears to tell the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth. Did you feel you were up to
that standard?
Mr.. Barbee: Yes, sir. did.
Senator Stewart: You would have de-
MED that 1t was 40 per cent. If your con-
tract had been for 50 per cent?
Mr.. Barbee: Why, as a matter OF
course. Understanding it in that way,
yes.
Senator Warren: Taking the ground
that Senator Pasco wanted a denial, what
would have been your answer II the con-
tract had been for 40 per cent?
Mr.. Barbee: 1 will tell you exactly. I
would have said: Excuse us. Senator,
but that is a matter between us and our
attorney, and is question as to which
we do not recognize the right of anybody
to inquire"
Senator Warren: Thcn, II Senator Pas
co had happened to hit upon the right
sum, your answer would have been the
same?
Mr.. Barbee: Yes, sir.
Mr.. Barbee said that ne mad received
none OF the fee, and he did not know that
any other member of the Church had.
STAHLMAN'S PAYMENTS.
Mr.. Stahlman furnished the committee
with q list of persons 10 whom he had
paid the money received as fee, but
only the items OF payment in connection
with the prosecution of the claim were
made public. These were: To Captain
Baker, $4,000. and to Samuel Donaldson,
g 200, assistant attorneys in the case. Mr..
Stahlman stated explicitly that he had
paid no money to any senator or men,
Der of the House, nor TO any one connect
ed with the affairs of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, South.

spoken to on the subject. and declared
that IL must be done. 1T will be-" he
said. "a noble name for noble avenue"
No doubt the City Council, when 1t meets

change.

most attractive OF the clty's thorough

Wild Statement From the American
Counsel of the Cuban Junta.

Wild Statement From the American
Counsel of the Cuban Junta.
New YORK, April THE Cuban
junta, though its counsel, Horatio S.
Rubens, made an important state
ment to-day. II declared in
the most unequivocal language
that the Cuban provisional govern
ment and the Cuban army would re-
iect absolutely Intervention by the
United States unless it should be pre-
coded by recognition of the indepen-
dence of the Cubrn republic; that if
the United States persisted in inter
vening without recognizing Cuban in
dependence the Cuban government
and military forces would refuse to
cooperate, and that if the United
States troops should be sent to
Cuba upon the basis of Intervention
without independence, the Cuban
army would, in the last resort, turn
its arms against the United States
