 Days.

Paris. November 30.-The correspondent of the Associated Press today located An- drew Hamilton who was confidential leg islative representative of the insurance companies at Albany and had half an hours talk with him concerning his plans and his answers to the request of the Armstrong insurance committee that he give orders to his agents in New York to surrender his papers to the committee and that he go to New York to testify.
 Mir. Hamilton arrived here a few days ago from Bad Nauheim Springs where he had been for some time taking the cure under the care of the doctors. He looks fairly well. His face is ruddy but he still complains of the effect of his ailnent and remains under the doctors trea tment pending their determination to whether it will be necessary for him to resume the cure at the springs.
 Did Not Avoid Meeting.
 When seen by the correspondent, Mir Hamilton was with one of his intimate friends, who is familiar with his affairs, and who explained some details which Mr. Hamilton did not wish to be publicly dis cussed at this time. MT. Hamilton did not seek to avoid the meeting. On the contrary he said he had not the slightest desire to conceal his whereabouts, all though owing to his continued i'll health and the attention required in making up his answer to the Armstrong committee he did not desire to visitors. An swering the correspondents request for a statemen. concerning his answer to the committees report Mir Hamilton dic- tated the following textual reply:
 ''I am preparing a reply to the requests of the committee which will be sent when completed to President Mccall of the New York Life Insurance company"
 Mi. Hamilton said this was the only formal statement that he would now make but continuing his informal talk he pointed out that it would be manifestly improper to disclose discuss the nature of the reply before it had been submitted to the committee. Moreover he was now engaged in framing his reply so that his work was not yet completed.
 You can say, however, Mir. Hamilton added "that my answer will he complete. You can also say that President Mccall undoubtedly will subrlit my reply to the committed"
 Considering the length of his reply. Mir. Hamilton said he could say nothing con corning that point.
 The correspondent suggested that Mir. Hamilton might without entering upon de- tails of his reply give his personal views upon the charges put forward in New York.
 Mir. HamiItons friend thereupon re- piled:
 No Charges Made.
 'Ru. there arc no charges. During the course of the legislative inquiry certain statements have been made relative to Judge Hamiltons relations with the sub ject but no charges have been formulated and he is now engaged to the best Of his ability in answering the statements made from time to time concerning him..
 When Mr. Hamilton was asked whether he would return to New York. he said it would depend entirely on the determi- nation of the doctors The friend of Mir. Hamilton added:
 Judge Hamilton has been asked to take a prolonged cure at the springs. His ill., ness is now manifasting itself in cutan- eous affection of the hips and shoulders Should the doctors decide that his return to the springs Is imperative. Judge Ham ilton will probably have to comply as saving his health is far more important to him than this insurance controversy"
 Tn conclusion, Mir. Hamilton said he hoped to be able to complete and forward his answer in the next few days.
