committee to order
I Mr. Henderson, who was among the spec
tators, addressing Ma"t. said he waa a
lawyer, and desired the privilege of cross,
examining certain witnesses. He appar
ently represented Police Commissioner
Price. Maset said Henderson's request
would be considered later.
Henry McDonald, nominee on the Chi
cago platform democracy for governor at
the last election was the first witness.
When asked If he- had any knowledge
of affairs connected with the Flushing
Gas Company, he said he had. Ha stated
that he hal learned various facts from
W. H. Burns, a director of the gas com
pany. He said the company was reor
ganised In IK'S, and that Henry J. Parker,
a member of the democratic dub, and
present owner of the club building, and
another man had purchased first mort
gage bonds of the company, and were
made directors. Soon after this the
Flushing Company endeavored to obtain
a contract from New York city under the
administration of Mayor Van Wyck, but
was not successful. Finally It was ar
ranged by a broker with Mr. Croker that
the stockholders should turn over to An
drew Freedman 20 per cent of the stock
of the company to be held for the benefit
of Croker and Freedman.
Witness testified that the stock was con
tributed by the different stockholders pro
rata, and was Issued to Freedman. There
upon, Freedman was elected a member
of tho board of directors. Continuing,
witness said:
"The agreement on the part of Croker
and Freedman waa that as soon as pos
sible the company should receive a con
tract for at least 500. and possibly 1000
additional lights. As to whether Croker
had carried out hla contract or not, I
do not know."
Mr. O'Sulllvan asked:
"Were you not found with Chairman
llai kett, of the rputllf an aiata commit-
lee, In conf rnc, making arrangements
coiiernlng th silver win; of the d-m-crMtlc
party?"
M'"fona1d etriphatl'ally denied any su h
treachery. What he did i was thl.:
"When we wer at Albany at the clo.e
of the lnt ramtiala. having a eor.e.t
over the petition, which was orlmlra 1
arid maliciously destroyed In the offic e of
--fl-nator Hill, after a consultation ov.r
the telephone with rhat worthy gentle,

contribute money to make our contest In

was a matter of no control of the re
puMI an party. No financial aid bad heen
given (he Chicago platform from any

Kri-elman testified that bis bond com.
puny has paid no dividend. M'xs drew
T'reednuin's attention to the etstlmonjr of
Crok'T, who stated nefore tho cmmttte
that he got dividends regularly from the
United H'atet Fidelity and Guarantee
Company. Kreedrruui said be could ei-
plaln that very easily. As manager of

mem. The witness said be wai very
urixlotis to have Cr"ker's friendship and
anxlutance in this covnpany "on account
of the U-glon of friends that be baa got
all ov-r this country."
Kreedman admitted that It was not
a'hcrtl.ed that Crokr waa Interested
in the comtiany. "But hla friends know
It," he explained, f'reedman said that he
received a yrar and that he worked
"very hard for It." "Pi you divide your
commissions with CrokerT' said th
lawyer. "I will not say that I divide
them." said Kreedman. "I -will ray that
Croker receives his portion."
Krxdman said he did not give Crokvr
any part of his salary. Maaet directed
the witness to state what proportion of
th commissions he paid Croker. Freed,
man refusel to answer, on the ground
that the agreement was of a personal
nature. He said the commissions paid
the Tammany leader did not amount to
l-'AiM) a year. tu: refused to ssy If they
iimoumed to ,'.. Kreedman raid there
was no' cfilclal record of the money paid
Croker.
Chairman Maset said: "There Is a d!-
crvjMtivy N-tmren your testimony and
Mr. Croker' s. If you care to have the rec
ord stand as it is the committee is satis
fied." Just as he left the chair. Freed,
man said: "Now gentlemen of the- press,
here Is a statement of the-, business of
the Piatt Company and of the business
of our company a statement of our en.
tire business."
Moss claimed this to be a flagrant con.
tempt of the committee. "I want to say
right here," said he. "that we propose
to look upon this contempt in a regular
and logical and orderly way, and when a
sufficient number of gentlement have put
themselves In contempt of this committee
we will take care of them in a bunch."
DEWEY EXPLAINS THE
YOUKTOWN EXPEDITION.
Says It Was Intended Purely to Rescue
the llesiegcd Spanish Soldiers
and Priests.
NEW YOHK, April 21.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: Admiral
IVwey, In an Interview today, said the
expedition of the gunboat Yorktown was
purely to rescue tbe Spanish soldiers
and priests who are bein? besieged In
a church there. The soldiers refused
to surrender when expected to lay d'wn
their arms by General Rlos at the end
of the Purls peace conference. Admiral
Dewey said he did not know what had
become of Lieutenant Uilmore and the
fourteen men In the launch. They had
been sent to sound the mouth of the
river, but went beyond the bend, out of
sight of the Yorktown. The supposition
Is they were captured 'or killed by the
Spaniards or the 400 insurgents who
were besieging the Spanl&h garrison.
Admiral Dewey declines to say what
steps he would take toward a punitive
expedition.
General Rlos, the Spanish commander,
when interviewed, said he did not think
the garrison at Baler knew the war be.
tween the United States and Spain was
ended. He had sent an officer in January
to tell the garrison to surrender. The
garrison refused to surrender, either not
believing the officer, or fearing they
would be trapped by the Insurgents.
Since then General Rlos had no communi
cation whit the garrison and this is the
first Information that the Spanish flag is
still flying at Baler.
He thought the Americans were shot
at by the Insurgents, as the Spaniards
themeslves are besieged and have no way
of getting to the river.
General Rlos said that he had not been
consulted.
General Oils doubted whether the pro.
posed exchange of Filipino for Spanish
prisoners would succeed, as the iusur.
gents are holding the Spaniards In the
hope that it will help their cause. They
are not seeking money.
The letter containing General Rlos' last
appeal to Agulnaldo said the Spanish
prisoners would create a bond of sym-
