An examlnatioti of tho ofllcial tc ord of the proceedlnga of the commit t?e. made yesterday by a reporter for The Tribune, discloaed the fact that if the stenographers reported Misa C'oleman's testimony correctly, ahe gave evidence in her laat answer along the llnes that apparently so stirred up th. Corporation Counsel. which Indlcated plainly that ahe realized Mr. Bu. kners queatlOM were directed solely at the prevlous aarcastic remarks of Mr. Speir. After he had asked the questions, Mr. Buckner aald. according to the ..fflclal record: "1 am only bringlng thia out in order to enllghten my associ ate," and with the words Mr. Buckner turned toward Mr. Spelr. at whom by rhu' time the glance* .,f nearly cvery one In the crowded aldermanic cham? ber were levelled.

Waldo'a ecjually sudden aetlvlty with reirard to Captaln Walsh was even more aurprislng to the "police polltl . lans," who had come to believe that Walah ba.J a mortgage on the station to whlch he haa been asalgned for more than flve years. Walah'a condition waa reported oa unchanged laat night. and lt la not be? lleved that he wlll he well enough te go for aome time to the Brooklyn ata tion to whlch he haa been auddenly transferred.
