JAMES G. DLAINE.
Mr. Belmont said ! '"Mr. Chairman, tho wlt
noss has refused to answer a numbor of ques
tions, and I do not propose to tako up tho tlmo
by further questioning."
Suvoral ot tho members ot tho'committoo in
terchanged vlows as to the future conduct ot
tho examination, stating that they dostrod as
much as posslblo to avoid going over tho sanio
ground so many times.
Mr. Lord "You stated in the oarly part ot
your testimony that you dealt with Oenoral
nurlburt as a recognized criminal Y"
"Yes; I dealt with him as I would havo dealt
with n recognized criminal."
"Did your counsel know at that tlmo that
you wero dealing with him as such !"
"The dealings I had with him as such woro
by an understanding wlthcounsol."
" In your letter of Juno 2 you woro doal
lng with a criminal, which, In your virtuous
character, you wero not to bo bound by I "
"Tho letter was Intended that It a man
was dishonest tho latter might Btay such a
man from working against us."
Tho witness was permitted to oxplaln again
his knowledgo of General Uurlburt. IIo lyul
novcr Intended to state as a fact that General
nurlburt was a bad man; It was only hear
say. IIo was asked what ho mont by saying " it
was as neat a way ot
Ilmnllng Illm the Soaped End of n
SUck
as ho could contrive."
IIo said in answer that ho didn't lntond to
mlslend Ooncral Uurlburt. IIo hero startod to
go Into a long explanation, but Mr. Lord cut
him short by saying: "Ho didn't want auynf
nispuuosopnyas t ins intentions, tuo com
mlttco did not want to hear It."
Tho witness said ho put out tho letter and
left It to aenoral-IIurlburt's construction. Ho
expected that Uurlburt would reason to him
self that he would havo a show In tho con
cern. "When did Senator Blair bocomo your
counsol?"
'Early In July; his first Interview occurred a
wock prior to tho 25th of July. Yos, ho know of
tho Uurlburt letter, hts record was discussed
betwoon us. He agreed In tho proprloty ot
tho lottor. Tho letter was also dlscussod with
Governor Boutweil. His comment was 'that
lottor of Shipherd taken as a wholo miy bo
productlvo ot troublo and I doubt tho pro
prioty of It.' "
In answer as to whether, In Mr. Boutwell's
Interview with tho Socrctary ot Htato, It was
for tho purposoof Influencing hts instructions
louonerai uurinut, 110 said no was seeking
access to the Secretary ot State
In Ills Capacity of Nccretary of
State.
IIo admitted paying Boutweil a retainer; ho
declined to stato whether It was paid In cash
or returned lu cash; ho oxplalnod his wholo
connection with Sonator Blair, his reasons fo
bis employment, Lc, which has already been
stated.
Mr. Lord's examination rather took tho
starch out ot tho witness, and ho
Hot Riled n Kittle
at tho turn that evonts wero taking, and his
answors to Mr. Lord's searching questions
wore giton unusually slow nnd measured.
Ho had caught a Tarter In Mr. Lord, and ho
was not slow In discovering It.
Ho had to admit that Mr. Lord's question
was a hard ono to answer, and ho labored
very hard to
Spit Out Ills Impressions
only in answer.
Tho witness was badly usod up as to his
wicked letter and his relations with General
Uurlburt, and his labored and oaslvo replies
to tho direct cut and thrusts ot Mr. Lord wore
amusing to tho committee, but not at all pleas
ant to Mr. Shipherd.
He said ho realized all that ho oxpoctod to
Ireallzo from tho Secretary ot btato up to Do
combor 3. Uls impressions were that his
wicked letter held Uurlburt In a sort of ami
cablo stato up to August, whon ho returned
his correspondence to tho Secretary of Stato.
Mr. Wilson took hold of tho witness and
asked him when bo first became conuectod
with the claim. lie said In tho lattorpart ot
March, IRai, and reiterated his connection
with it. Uewas authorized to retain nssoclato
counsol, etc. Ho stated that no Minister
Plenipotentiary, no Mombor of Congress has
at any tlmo to his knowledgo had any Interest
In the claim.
Ho was asked If any Senator was a holder ot
stock, which question ho decllnod to answor.
Judge Wilson tried to get out of him
How Much was Paid for this Claim.
but as usual tho witness wouldn't say whetbor
bo had paid f5 or $20,000. Ho said tho
claim might be worth a million.
"Yes," said Judge Wilson, "after this Inves
tigation Is over, I expoct."
Tho committoo will hold a meeting for con
sultation on Monday to dotormlno what luluro
course Is to be pursued. Tho oxamluallon.
ot witnesses will bo conttnuod on Tuosday
morning next at 10 o'clock. It Is probable
that Sblpherd's testimony Is about concluded
directly, and that now tho committee, having
auoweu mm an tne rope no wants, win pro
ceed to pull In on him aud laud hint before
the bar ot tho House.

Tbo bill providing for tho division of
Dakota Territory will likely bo callod up In the
House for passage on Monday. No momber
can conscientiously opposo it.
Senator Hansom's commlttco on tho Po
tomac Hats met this morning, and, llko tho
old king n 1th ten thousand men who inarched
up tho hill and luen marched blck again, the
committee did nothing.
The meeting of tho National Kopubllcan

the Instance ot Mr. Chnuncey I. Vllley.of St.
Louis, Mo. Mr. rtlley's feucos hato been fall
lug down pretty fast lately, and need repairs.
llepresentatlvo Burrows says thero is 110
doubt that tho Tariff Commission bill will
pass tho House, despite tho Democratic flllbus.
terlng. Mr. Burrou s believes the session will
bo prolonged by tho totirf and other measures
until tar Into the summer.
Delegations from Alabama and Virginia
wero to-day given ahearlng by tho House Com.
merco Coniiultloo on ilvor ami harbor Im

Plorlda, Wert Virginia, Texas aud Louisiana
will bo heaid ou the same subject,
It is given out that tho Democrats of tho
House Intend to filibuster against the Tariff
commission bill. But ono other as foolish an
nouncement has beiu made this year, aud
that wus that Uncle Sammy TUJen had made
u will aud left his money to Charlie Uoss.
To-day tho Itouso Territories Commlttco
Instructed Mr. Grout to report the bill for tho
division ot Dakota Territory, and at tho
earliest possible day to movo a suspension ot
tho rules and call It up for pas&ago. The com.
ultteoaUo Instructetltbe chairman, Mr.. bur
row b, to wore a suspension ot the rulos and
call from the calondar the bill providing for
tho admission of Dakota, nnd put It upon Its
passage as soon as ho can got tho floor.
ThoHouso Commlttco on Civil Servlco

question of general roforn In tho mode of ap
pointing and havo been thus ongftged for tho
last six or eight weeks. Tho committoo has

Pacific ftlopc statesmen arc confident that
President Arthur will sign n bill restricting
Chine so immigration tor a period of ton years,
llio Democrats in tho Eastern and Contra!
States nro determined, Iiowover, that ho shall
not havo tho opportunity t do so. Thero Is to

It Is a little singular that thoso who mako
laws and rules should bo tho first to try to
ovcrrldo and disregard thorn. Tho rulos ot
tho Scnato and Itouso are nocossarlly rigid in
their restrictions ot admission to tho floor,
but certainly no moro rigid thau they ought
to be. Tho iloorkoopors ot thoso bodlos nro
charged with tho enforcement of thoso lulos,
and are held to a strict accountability for tho
faithful discharge ot their duty. Scarcely a
day passes but what somo of thoso lawmakers
try to run roughshod o or all rules and ordors
nnd become righteously Indignant at a poor
doorkeeper If ho makes a fooblo protest
against tho unwarranted and unwarrantablo
violation.
Somo ot theso mighty statosmen, who nro
Scarcely Known Outside of Sleepy
Hollow,
or Rocky Point, think, sinco thoy havo como
to Congress, that they have bocomo so noto
rious that tlioy ought to be known by every
body, and that their reputation is world-wide.
It they persist In making jackassos ot thom
bcIvcb, their reputations may bo moro noto
rious than enviable.
THE Ortma happened to bo standing nt tho
door of tho Sonato a fow days ago whon one
of theso fledglings wont rushing past tbo
doorkoepcr llko a Kansas cyclono. Tho door
keeper very politely inquired of tho gontlo

The Crane Is enabled to Btato that Adjutant
Oeneral Drum has announced that Sergeant
Mason will not bo roloasod from prison until
tho expiration of his tormot imprisonment.
This means, of course, that tho Army influ

that tho Administration will bo glad to ylold
to such Influence Tho Intention of tho pow

of the peoplo In this matter. The Sorgeaut's

rrnllngr (lie nnllnnl Captain.
Up 10 tho hour of going to press Capttln
Howgite, who so gently took log ball on Thurs
day night last, had not notHlod tho pollco ot
his whoreabouts. In fact. It Is hardly bellerod
that ho will. Every fellow ono meets on tho
streets has a theory ns to whoro tho Captain
has gone. Per Instance, ono man wilt contend
that ho knows that tho Captain 19 new sailing
toward sunny Spnin, whllo nnolher Is equally
certain that ho Is hiding In tho underbrush
of Maryland or Virginia, and yet another
thinks tho fugitive Captain has not loft tho
city at all, but Is socretod hero by some ot his
frlonds lnordor to give htm an opportunity to
Jump tho town when tho wind blows over.
Then the "Smatt Alock" will come hpandsay,
"Oh, tho pollco nro cognlrant ot Ilowgato's
whereabouts, and will capture him whon tho
proper tlmo nrrlves." 'Theories, howover, aro
cheap, but U10 question Is, "Whoro is Mow
gatot" HoMgntc mill llio Public Voice.
Thero wns scarcely n man who could bo soon
on tho street this morning who did notes
press satisfaction at tho oscapo of Howgato.
The unlvcrenl sympathy Boomed to bo with
him, for tho ronton, probably, that ho had not
been treated as an ordinary nrlsonor should
be that is, that tho authorities who, although
boasting that thoy had sufficient evldenco to
convict, did not contomplato trying tho caso
for somo months yet.

Tho pollco authorities of Baltimore, as well
as Messrs. Smith, West & Lyons, private do

slnco tho news of his cscapo was wired, nnd It
Is hardly posslblo that ho could havo gono
thcto -n ltbout detection.
I'. If. Wnrd Suspected of Secretin;;
Hon gate.
When Trank K. Ward awoko this morning
and looked out of his wlodow ho saw a silent
and apparently Immovable man on tho other
side of tho Btroct, but with eyes dlrectod
straight on tho Aldorney premlsos. Men had
looked that way before, and no thought was
ghen to it. But whon Mr. Ward found another
man looking through from a lot on 1'ourth
street, with a focus on the Aldorney, and Of-
ucer rat u'liaro Keeping tuo lamp-post
straight on tho Third aud D street cornor, by
using It as a ramrod rfor his back, whllo his
oyes centered on Aldornoy, and a fourth
watcher abovo, toward R streot, ho concludod
thatsomobody was well under survolllanco,
but who It might bo ho was In Ignoranco.
That was soon removed by Deputy Marshal
Williams waiting upon him and staling that
ho had como there to look for Captain IIow
gatc, whom ho had reason to suspoct was
there concealed.
Mr. Ward denied tho tlghtot an officer to
enter his premises without being armed with
Bomo legal authority, but as ho did not wish
any improper construction placed upon his
refusal, he gavo tho Doputy Marshal full per
mission to tratel from floor to nttto of tho
bouse, nnd, to render what asslstanco possible,
Mr. Wnrd went along. It was well that ho did,
for Mr. Williams would havo had somo troublo
In gottlng through. Tho prlvato residence
and AlJcrncyaro connected by a number ot
wayB,only known to tho Initiated.
Tho Deputy Matshal was conductod from
placo to place, in and out of many cham
bers, by many routes, through cheoo
houses into tho buttery, bang into nu lmmonso
lcfrlgcrntor, then back Into tho dairy, sleep
ing and eating apartments of tho employes,
down through tho granaries ami stable de
partment, aud finally landing Mr. Williams on
tho street without Captain Uowgato or a sight
of his coattalls.
The Deputy Marshal caino to tho conclusion
that fiom ail that ho had soon tho fuglllto
could bo secreted thoro if Mr. Ward was s 9 dis
posed, and that It would tako fifty men to find
him, but ho was Batlsflod that Captain Uow
gato was not there hidden. Tho nota that had
been rccelvod nt tho Marshal's office making
such a statement ho thought sprung front ono
ot two sources. It either came from ono of tho
enemies of tho Aldorney nnd was done to annoy
Mr. Ward, or It might bo a neat llttlo dodgo
of tho writer to recelvo public notlco. Of ono
tiling mo Deputy Jiaisnai is certaiu, una tnat
Is that Mr. W ard Is tho boss dairyman ot tho
District, and that a class of croam from tho
dairy is a drink for tho gods.
A New Turn In llio Allegheny Post
oflire I'lgut.
The Allegheny postofflco fight continues to
grow, and In fact It might bo said that It has
reached tho magnltudo that usually charac
terizes tho squabblo mcldoutal to tho appoint
ment ot a postmaster ot a "real" city Now
York, Philadelphia, Doston. Ac. Last night
Wlllord's Uotel was tho bccuo ot a small
sized row botween tho Hon. Thomas M. flayno
uuu ainjor nrupiB, me maiwari canaruaio lor
postmaster ot Allegheny. Tho Major ap
proached tho Hon. Thomas, and said lu effect
that tho Hon. Thomas, by giving his support
to ono Ogden, wns going against tho wishes of
his constituents, nnd ho therefore began to
berato tho Hon. Thomas.
Had It not been for tho prcsoncootfilonds
tho two eminent Alloghonlans might possibly
havo dono moro than to ongago In a llttlo
harmless chin music. Tho light ovor this
postoffico has narrowed down into a sort ot a
Kilkenny ono, and tho Hon. sontor Senator
from Pennsylvania has entirely waslrod his
hands of the wholo affair, and has refused to
tako any part In It. Howover, It might bo
said lu this connection that Major Kropps,
who Is tho only recognized candldato for tho
office, Is far ahead of his competitors, and ox
pocts bis appointment in a few days.
Tiik air is tilled with rumors to-day con
cerning tbo important chaugos lit tho Treas
ury Department. No satisfaction as regards
their truth can bo obtalnM from tho officials
calculated to know. Ono of tho rumors Is that
Chief Clork Power Is to exchange places with
Mr. Daskara, chief ot tho Division ot Public
Moneys; another that AppolntmontClorkUut.
lor Is to bo mado chief clork, and Mr, rower
transferred to chief ot tbo Loan Division In
placo ot Mr. Flotcbor, and that Major Clark,
chief ot tho Itevenuo Marino Borvlco, Is to bo
mado appointment clerk; another that Mr. C,
K. Coon, or tho Loan Division, Is to bo mado
pa lng teller ot tho cash room.
Subsequent inquiry at tho Treasury Depart
ment shous that thcro Is no truth whatever lu
tho abovo rumors, so far as the appolutmont
clerk Is concerned Ho is to romatu where iro
is. That is lu accordance with tho doslro ot
tho President and Socrotary Folgor, w ho ap
preciate his usefulness lu his present posi
tion, It was also ascertained that thero Is to
lie a change In tho office ot chief clork. Major
Power Is .to bo transferred to somo other
office, but which Is not positively known. Tho
most favorable story Is that ho will oxchango

Discussion as to tho cause of tho explosion
takes a wide range. It Is Bald by neighbors
that the condition of the boiler was regarded
by them with apprehension for a long tlmo,
and that grinding In the mill has boon discon
tinued frequently for repairs to tho botlor.
Andrew Addison, a son ot the engineer, states
that his father had long believed tho boiler to
bo unsafe, and that ho had docldod nabs run
the englno longer than the ond ot thaVresent
week. On tho other hand, the statement mado
In tho Sun ot yestorday by Mr. Andrew
Cooper, tbo machinist, who was ongaged In
putting In tho new boiler, and who is tho only
person living who was In tho engine-house at
tho tlmo of tho explosion, Is regarded by many
persons as concluslvo that tho disaster is duo
to low water In tho boiler. Mr. Samuel Rldg
way's statement, also given In tho Hun, cor
roborates Mr. Coopor's lows, with tho added
fact thot the Arcs woro so unusually hot as to
exclto remark. Tho furnaco was at a whlto
heat, and resembled a gas retort. Mr. C. W.
Bentley, machinist and boiler maker, who re
paired tho boiler, suites that It was in good
running condition. Mr. Edward Duval, of tho
rtdellty Casualty Company, pronouueed tho
boiler sound on l'rlday last, and It was Insured.
An examination of tho wrecked boiler wa

bead and a number of tubes were found In tho
ruins of No. 173 King street. The break ex
tends entirely around the boiler, touching tho
edge ot a patch recently put on. In somo
places the edgo la irregular and ragged, and
In others cut xquare off. It was noticed, how
ever, that only a small portion ot the edgo pre
sents tho bright appearance ot newly-parted
Iron. Piagmenlaot the botlor wore found In
parlous parts of tho ruins, ono piece having
