The select House committee appointed
to investigate the affairs of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Company.
met this morning to resume its hearinig
President Bryan of the telephone COM
pany, appeared before the investigators
and asked that the hearing be put on
again for a week, offering IN defense Of
the request that his counsel. Judge VIII
sor. was unayoidablyy detained as the
Canty murder trial
Mr.. Bryan also submitted voiuminous
statement concerning the costs of main
tenanee and construction for a period Of
five years-lss2 to 1897.
The statement is too complex to be of
general public interest beyond the fact
that 1t endeavors to reconcile the diff
ferences between the net value Of work
done and the amounts charged 70 con-
structton.
The experts testify therein that it would
be impossible to explain such differences
without going into very elaborate and
exhaustive examination of every item
concerned. but they pledge the accuracy
Of the reports previously submitted to the
committee. Mr.. Pitney Inquired If the
telephone company had prepared a reply
to the committees representations con-
scfulfl8 rates IOf service IN OtQer cities.
President Bryan replied in the negative
but promised to submit answer AZ soon
as possible.
In the midst Of this rather informal
hearing there was an unexpected Interrupt
tion accasioned b ythe arrival of Mr..
George Albree, of Boston. a telephone ex-
pert of wide experience. who was for ten
years connected with the American Bell
Company.
He asked permission to address the
committee at its convenience and prom
ised TO submit valuable information anent
personally engaged in an exhaustive in
vesti41tio of telephone charges and serv-
ice in.this and other countries. and believ-
Committee would establish the first per-
maneAt precedent on a widely discussed
subjeci he hoped an opportunity would
be given him to offer the evidence and
information acquired during wide eK-
perience in the business. Mr.. Albree fur
ther declared that he had not been sum-
moned in the interest of either side in
this particular investigation, but that
personal interest in the future Of the
telephone business urged his appearance
before the committee
After some hesitation the committee de-
cided not to hear Mr.. Albree at once. and
it is possible that he may not be allow
ed to address the investigators at all
Mr.. Bryan's request for a postponement
drew forth compromise and the COM
mittee finally adjourned to next Friday.
after two hours and a half spent in in
formal deliberation.

Mr.. Foster was up from Pocahon
tas Wednesday and treasured ue
greatly as to the alleged epidemic
reported there. He says, as do
others, that it is ouly a mild skin
disease puculiar to mining districts
and that it is neither virulent nor
likely to spread.

Tuesday from what is thought pros

shonld regret to lose Mr. Hnrgiav.
and his charming family from our
society, but as yet we presume he
has made no arrangements looking
to removal.
Pocahontas people stoutly deny
that they have smallpox there. They
admit an epidemic which broke out
at koseville, q little suburb below
the tunnel, but iusist it is a cuia
neous disorder of another type
akin to itch. So far, like the epe-
demic at Ooopers, it is confined to
colored people. There appears to be
little or no excitement at Pocahontas.
Mr.. VIM. Nj. Station whose illness
has been mentioned in this column
died at his home On Water street

had violent brain trouble and has
