Asked ae to whuthor sincs the pissage of the Posne law the freigat rates on any class of gids he dealt 1n had bovn ncreased?

Hs thought they charged an iunczeaeo of ten or tif- teen cents to thors who did not ship throuzh over their line.

At the conciusion of this witness’ examination, Senitor Keynoids rose and said he desired to ask for Infor-|eionatiss, charity passes, ete.” mation for whom Jadge Mason ap- peared, and he insisted that the judge either answer the guestion or decline, ‘Judge Mason repiied, “‘Well, I de <line.” Senator Raynolds pointed out that there were several citizens present, and, if necessary, they could have a hundred citizans to question the wit- nesses, and he thought it was only groper that the committee should now “or what reason they appeared. After some turther discussion the learned judy)sald up to the present he appsared for no corporation in this state, but that he was there to take care of a defunct corporation. He added that it seemed to him that it would neither lessen or give welght to any qaiestion which ke might put whether he appeared for Christ or the devil. [fiwuzhter.] Mr. C. M. Laighton, in the whole- @ale and retail drug business in this olty, was examined, bu; nothing new was elicited. ATTERNOON SESWION, The committee room was more .erowded this afterncon than it has ever bzen before since this investiga- tion has been in progrees, and the proceedings were watcied with lively interest Mr. T. L Kimball, assletant gon- eral manager of the U. P, £.

Mr. Kim- ballexoressed kimseli as unable to an- swer & large majority (f the ques- tlone, owing to kis not havivg any re- cords or broks with him, and alas on account of his ignorance of the exact dotaile of seversl kranches of rallzoad buiiness. He had constantly to refer tbe committes to Mr. Vining and the audit department of the U, P. forin- formation.

The rip of thiss two hard hitters across he ¢ mtinent his been chronicled in the newapapera throughout the eoun try. Mr. Maco is perhaps better know 1 in this city than elsewhere in Ameriea, Here, at one time, ho wes A part proprietor of a fashionable re- cort for aporting gentlomen, and was recogn zad among the gambling fra. toruity as a mau who never became jubilant when he won money at cards, aud who never grumbled and ehowed his teoth when he lost money in the sume manner, He was never a boast- et — refuge in Delmonioo’s, where oysters were served to them ‘‘on the deep” and washed down with champagne. The bulls and bears were greater ter- rors to the Maori and his guardian, Jom Mace, than Mr. Sallivan's fists, and the gentlemon so eminent in thelr sphere retreated from tho vulgar gaz» of the street as soon as an opportu- nity was protentod for them to steal away withcut being seen and sor. rounded. Too sights were strange to the gentle Maori, an admirer ¢x plained, and the anwonted noises that reetod his aensitive and startled ear wt every turn made him think that it Tne strange, unearthly r that ho heard when passing the Exchange, which shook its very walls and sent terror into the Maori's heart, was doubtless the bear raid on Union Paciic The party dined in the ovoning in Mr. Harry Hill's apart- mbnts ia his theater building, It eald for Mr. Mace and Mr. Sinde that each is derirous of eparring with hard g'oves with Me. Sallivan in this city, aud that each is willing to wager iarge sums of monoy that Mr ~ulllvan cannot “knock him out.” Lt is well known that the authorities will not pormit any such glove con- tosts, and thore is, of course, no like lthood that a Mad sn Square garden audience will witness a show of that kind.

Muce agreed to Me Kox's proposition, and brought with him what he calls a Maorl half-breed, a Mr. Herbert A, Sado. In order to pacify many admirers of the pugtlntic arf, 1t {8 now given out that his tather was an Irishman and his mother o Muorl. He is 28 years f age, six foot two and a ha'f inches in hetsht, and woighs about 230 pounds, Mr. Mace io 52 years of age, five foot nine inenes in height, and welghs, when in condrtion, abovt 160 pounds. Accounts «f the triumphal tour of Mr. Mace and Mr, Sade from San Fearcisco to this city have been eager Iy read by sporting gentlemn in this crty. Mr. Mace was accompanied by his charming wife, & pet canary. a mach-loved violin, and bageage sufli crent for a theatrical company. At hicaqo he weus met by Mr, Harding, Mr. Fox's representative. The party roached the Jersey City depot at an early hour yesterdey morsing, and was weloomed by Me, Fox aud several chining lights in sporting soclety. Mr. F x was astontshed at the immentity of the Mao1i, and was at once ready to back him for ary amount «f money to fizht any man inthe world, Mr. Sal livan, of Boston, preferred. Bith Mr. Mace and Mr. Slade wore heavy far coats and caps. The Maori secmed a head taller than the “‘Gyp- sy.” Ho stepped about with the grace exh'ticed by an elephant. “Yon're the man I want,” exclaimed Mr. F. x, and Mr, Siade looked down upon that gentleman and replied: ““Yes, I guess Lam.” The giant has great check bones, and his retreating forehead is on a line with his nose. He wears nefther mustache nor beard, and has gray eyes and a alecpy expression. He seemed & verltable mountain cf flesh as he stood in his immense fur coat, but when he bared his arm it was ob served that he was very muscular. He eaid that he had gained about 30 pounds during his trip to this country. Mr. Mace was instantly recognized by old friends, who declared that ho ap- peared as young a8 he was 10 years ago. The halr hus departed from the top of his head, and that which re. mains behind his ears is of & grayish tinge. He wears a mustache of good shape, and exhi the old-time re- gard for his pereonal appearance, Both he and the Maori have bronzed complexlone. Mr, Mace was delighted when recogniz:d by acqualntances of years ago, and eatd that he appreciated Now York as the only city in the world in which decent men should live. He has never seen Mr. Bullivan, of Bos- ton, and is anxious for an introduc tion. Mr. Slade was thoughtfal, and nttered mere commonplace remarks, Ho was overwhelmed with the comme- tion created by his arrival. He be- lieved, he said, that he could ‘‘knock out” Mr, Sulilvan, Sporting gentle men who crowded around him were in the main «f the opinion that Mr, Sul- livan sould easily defeat him.
