 Washington. July 25.--James Keeley, general manager of the Chicago Tribune, was subjected today to A fire of ques- tions from Elbridge Hanecy, attorney for Senator Lorimer, about his testimony yes terday before the Senate Lorimer con- mttee, and when the committee ad- joarned this evening the eross-examina- ton had not been concluded The session was lefieie with sharp passages between attorney and witness. | At adjournment Attorney Hanecy was l directing Mir. Kelley's attention to the vouchers submitted to show the Tribune spent sz0,0O0 investigating the White confession. The attorney called attention 1 to the bills of E. o. Phillips and G. T. O'Neiil, reporters on the Tribune, who spert several hundred dollars in visiting members of the legislature. "Here are the bills of John Callan C'Loughlin." Mr Hanecy added He is former assistant secretary of state and suppose a high-priced man, isn't he?' He is our representative in Washing ton, and for his high price work he gets d high price"
 Throughout the day Mir. Hanecy had in- variably repeated the former assistant secretary of state whenever he men tioned Mr. O'Loughlin's name
 The hrst time MT. Hanecy was saying former assistant secretary of state of the late MT. keeley helped him our by adding 'lamented," while Mir. Hanecy finished his sentence with the word a6- ministraton.
 On another occasion the witness fore stalled inc attorney, repeating the title by adding after MT. O'Loughlin's name
 et eetera, and ct cetera"
 MT. oLoughlin's bills amounted to s11s1. Of which MT. Kelley said more than ssoC was for stenographic work in the Lorimer case
 MT. Banecy asked MT. Kelley when he had his second talk with N.r. Kohlsaat ID regard tc the unk-Hines convera - at the Union League club in Chicago, Hl-. which Lorimer election fund was men tioned. l No Recollection | T have no distinct recollection" was | the response.
 Wei, .et us have your indistinet recol- lection"
 MT. Keeley replied it probably was d month Iater but he could not recall what was said. One thing he had in mind during the conversation, he said, was what made the 53 democrats vote | for Lorimer. You were thinking of the 53 dem ocrats rather than of the $100,000 that was supposed to have been raised?'
 My mind doesn't assmilate that question"
 "Is that because of the s10o,o0o or the 53 democrats?' 1 Tt is because of the question" | Did you think there was assimila tion between the 5s democrats and the S100 ,0O0?"
 q think there was both assimila- tion and digestion" MT. Keeley said he belonged to lit- tie club in the Union League club and had a room or two there, but he could not recall that the Funk story was discussed by it.
 "Tt was not discussed at the dining table. but it might have been at the other table, I don't know" MT. Keeley said.
 What other tabler
 "rhe round table. You know what I mean"
 MT. Keeiey gave the White confess sion as his authority for an editorial about bribery in the legislature"
 And that has been discredited in every court in which White has ap- peared?" MT. Hanecy suggested
 "There have been acquittals or nolle pressing of cases"
 "rhe slate has been cleaned on en- cept up in the offices of the Chicago Tribune?"
 "Probably."
 "Is that the only unclean thing up there?" well I don't know. You have been up there" MT. Keeley testified that Madiil Me- Cormick, editor of the Tribune, be- ieved I.orimer should be driven out of politics.
 And he worked consistently to do t,,atpp asked Lorimers counsel. 'Yes. and mo- replied keely. MT. keey admitted the election of Will liam J. Moxley to the national House 10 succeed Lorimer was one or the things that made Mccormick hostile to Lor1mor eve were fighting Lorimersm and we tried to make a good job of it," remarked MT. keely.

 Not tho first time, but we did the last, said Mr Keely.
 By electing democrat?" added Mir. Haneey.
 "Yes, sir.
 "NIr i<ohlsaat a Chicago publisher, has defined Iorimerism as a combination of democrats and republicans Did you re- gard the defeat of Moxley by a combinna- ton of democrats and republicans as Mc- Curinickism?"
 "No sir; think Mir Kohlsaat was talk ing about a combination where the CO., hesive force was public plunder"
 Mir Keely told the Glavis story in re- sponse to questions from Lorimer's coun- sol The witness testified that Glavis tes- tilted the book was in the possession of the widow of one of the lobbyists. that she had tuberculosis and would sell them.
