Mr.. Stone-Mr. Chairman, in behalf OF
DR.. La BARGE, he desires to ask at such
time as 1t may seem proper for this COM
mittee that the gentleman who has been
named by the witness-I do not remember
now the name-be subpenaed to give tes-
timony as to whether he received any
money or not, or whether it was within
the knowledge of DIR. La BARGE.
The chairman-I do not myself want to
sit in Judgment on this thing at this time,
but il is barely possible that Mr.. La
Baree's own statement to the committee
might be convincing under the circum-
stances, and it might be entirely salts
factory to the committee and the Legis-
lature without the expense of sending up
for Mr.. Ellis.
Mr. Stone-The reason I ask on behalf
of DR.. La BARGE that you subpoena him
few hours or days that Mr.. Green had
sent 500 in a letter to the gentleman
spoken of, and DR.. La BARGE communi-
Gated with Mr. Ellis, and Mr.. Ellis denies
it. That Is the reason.
Mr. Mellick-Mr. Green, when you were
asked if you contributed money you only
mentioned this one sum; you dld not say
whether there were any more sums or not?
A. In Dr. La Baree's case?
Q. Yes.
x. That is all I ever sent.
O. Was that all that was ever paid by
Mr. Grant. so far as lyou know, in that
Fourth Assembly District?
.. Now. then, did you send, or by your
directions was a letter sent up in the
Fourth District since the Senatorial fight
began, saying that Mr.. La BARGE has
treated Mr.. Grant STABILITY; that you con-
tributed money in that campaign, and
that he refused to vote for Mr.. Grant?
A 1 never did. 1 never asked how Or;
La BARGE was going to vote. and l did
not know until he cast his vote.
Q. There was such a letter sent up in
that district trying to get Mr. Ellis or
some one TO influence DR.. La Baree to
vote for Grant, because money had been
contributed in that campaign, was there
A. Not that I have any knowledge of.
I never heard of 1t.
Mr.. Mellick-Was there not such let
ter sent Mr.. La Baree?
Mcdonald.
A. l never authorized Mr.. Mcdonald to
write him such a letter, and did not know
he had done so. Mr.. Martin Mcdonald
was very friendly to Mr.. Grant and he

A No, sir.
q. Mr. Grant, does not ask you as to
how you eXpend the money in his behalf?
A. No, he never has. He simply laid
upon me the strict injunction that he I'M
derstood there were certain expenditures
that could be properly made, that were
proper and lawful, legitimate and usual,
and beyond that he did not wish to go
and / have followed that injunction to the
letter.
that you could expend in that behalf?
A. No. sir.
Mr.. Mellick-I have a question
that has been suggested by the an
swer he gave. You say that in those
districts where the Legislators were
pledged to some other Republican
candidate for United States Senator
you did not expend any more money!
A. No, sir; did not. did not
know that I said that, but it is a
fact that did not.
@. Yes, you said that. Now, then,
if you were spending money simply
to elect a Republican legislator, how
do you reconcile that with the fact
that you were not willing that Re-
publican should be elected where he
was pledged to some other candidate
besides Mr.. Grantp
A. I never said that I objected to
their election.
@. No; but you did not contribute
money where they were pledged to
somebody else-yet you were eager to
have Republican Legislature.
A. understood that they were
being assisted by people in whom
they were directly interested.
The chairman-I want to ask you, Mr..
Green, did you understand that they were
assisted by other people in whom they
were directly interested? In whose can
didacy did you understand that they were
directly interested-one or more of them?
A. Well, am not here for the purpose

MYSTERIOUS,

1t appears that the Paris had a mar
row escape from getting on again af-
ter she got off. When they started to
tow her to Falmouth it was ebb tide
with northerly wind blowing which
would naturally take the vessel south;
but they found her getting nearer and
nearer the Manacles until within four
hundred yards of them, whereas she
ought to have been a mile to the south
ward. Things looked queer for a time,
but they altered their tactics and
cleared the rock. From what the SUI
perintendent of the wrecking company
has seen during the past six weeks he
is confident that some mysterious cur
rent draws vessels towards the rocks.
While working on the Paris he warned
numberless vessels of the danger they
were In.
What has lately happened on the
Manacles is certainly mysterious
enough, but whether the mystery is in
the ocean or in the human mind it
should and probably will be most care
fully guarded against Another mys-
terious wreck on the Manacles would
make even this hardheaded generation
think queer things.

SIGNIFICANT.

The Merchants association of New
York has begun its campaign for the fall
trade. In arranging the details for this
work, said an officer Of the association,
I'VE found it necessary to revise our
mailing list. This mailing list is the
best evidence Of prosperity one could
have, as it shows that the number of
merchants has increased in an extraor-
binary manner since last year. During
the year 1898 our mailing list of mer-
chants throughout the country, not in
Guiding New York city and Brooklyn,
gave a total of 1873 merchants. The
total given in the revised list is 49,6S9,
being a gain Of 1856 merchants, or about
6 per cent"
