The special House committee Investigating the Electric Boat Company devoted its leas! on to-day endeavoring to ascer tain -from Representative George U Lilley the grounds on which he based ' ha charge against the company. Mr. Lilley admitted that some or these charge were made on rumors and : Others' on what he had been told. - j. - Sir. Stevens took up each specific Vharga and Insisted that Mr. Lilley tell mnttilnf hs knew concerning It. While ha did not withdraw any charge ' against tha company he would not say that any one had been corrupted by tha methods used by the company. This assertion lod Mr. urousttara iu ask tha following question: "Tou charge this company with us ing reprehensible methods to Influence Congress, tha Navy Department and tha press of the country. You want . them Investigated - and yet you say 1 you will not make the charge mat iLonaress, -uc i7 ucv" """" . press has responded to ths.,inUiojHj Will you please point out wherj? the ' harm has been done who have been corrupted?" - NO NAMES MENTIONED. - "I made the charge," responded Mr. Lilley, "that the" company used these, "' corrupting methods, but I have not mentioned any specific person who ha been corrupted. My resolution was for the purpose of . finding this . out. Based on what I knew and what I had heard, I thought these methods ought to be Investigated, particularly 1 because of the large sums ol money which, in my opinion tha government has paid more than It needs to have paid for these goods and 1 vote the fact that there was a Uklihood that the would ha nald In the future. Mr. Howard took up the question of tha cost of submarines and the efforts of the Lake Company to obtain a con tract under tha last naval appropria tion bill Mr. Lilley, In reply, said he based his charge that the Electric Com pany ha received excessive profits on the figures used by Admiral Bowles before the House naval committee When he was chief of the bureau of construction. He said he would rath er take the evidence of Admiral Bow ie gave then than evidence he might give now owing to the fact that he Is a builder of submarine boats not a buyer as he was when In the Navy Department. Mr. Howard remarked to Mr. Wiley that " the bulk of your -case is one of doubt." LILLET QUESTIONED. .Mr. Lilley was asked the following questions by Chairman Boutell: "If the naval bill of this year had contained a proposition for full free ' and open competition In submarines, which met with your approval would you have Introduced your resolu tion?" "I do not think I would have In troduced It," answered Mr. Lilley. ".Did you express orally or In writ; . Ing the opinions on more than one occasion before you Introduced your resolution that If the naval bill could ha amended x that' it would provide for full, free and open competition on submarines, you would not think It : necesaarv . or wise to Introduce your : . resolution for sn Investigation of the . Electric Boat Company?" "1 max have made substantially that ; statement to one person." .DENIES STATEMENT. "Did you not make the statement thai iflhe naval bill could still be - amended - so as to provide for this free competition It would be wiser If possible, not to proceed under your resolution?" "I do not recall making any state ment of that kind not after the reso lution was In." Chairman Boutell announced that the committee would like to have to day or to-morrow Mr. Llley's letter book referred to yesterday at well a hi stenographer's note-book; also all letters of Mr. Lilley referring to this Investigation. Mr. Lilley. through counsel, asked that the purpose for wtileh-the letters were wanted - be stated and while not declining to pro duce them did not promise to do so. Chairman Boutell announced that If - Mr, Lilley -refused to comply with the . request the committee will make the demand for the books substantially In the legal effect of a subpoena duces tecum.

Savannah News. As to "the number of Bryan dele gates in the convention much will derend upon the South. There Is a good deal of anti-Bryan sentiment in nearly all of the Southern mates ana It may be strong . enough to prevent Instructions for him In several more than are now thought to Da un friendly to him. There is still much uncertainty In the situation. The fact that the New York delegation Is unlnstructed will undoubtedly have considerable Influence on soma of the other States, and if efforts are made by those opposed to Mr. Brysn his nomina tion may be prevented. In the meantime the sentiment in favor of Oovernor Johnson, of Minnesota, seems to be increasing. The fact that he 1 remarkably popu lar In his own State Is quoted In his behalf. He Is a Democratic Gov ernor of a strong Uepubllcan State. Mr. Bryan has never been able to make as deep an impression upon Nebraska, a Republican State, as Governor Johnson has upon Minne sota, alo a Republican State. It Is, therefore, argued, that Oovernor Johnson woulij carry doubtful States which Mr. Bryan couldn't carry, thus making him the more available candidate. MR. CUCVKIiAXD IMPROVES.

Dr. Joseph D. Bryant, the former President's physician, arrived here from New York to-night and Is with Mr. Cleveland st the Lakewood Hotel. He may remain over Sunday. In view of the reports that have been in circulation concerning her husband's condition Mrs. Cleveland to day authorlxed the following state ment: "Mr. Cleveland Is recovering slowly but surely from the recent attack of his old digestive trouble. As ha al ways has found the climate at lake wood very beneficial he Is remaining there until he shall have gained his health. It has not yet beejL decldnd when he will return to Princeton."

I am tha man who discovered Gov. John A. Johnson as a presidential possibility and mine was the first ewspaper to raise his standard, said Col. J. C. Hemphill, editor of The Charleston (8. C.) New and ourier, last night at tha New Wll- lard. "South Carolina will go to the Der.ver convention unlnstructed, and hile Mr. Bryan still haa his follow ing, it is growing smaller every day, nd I expect my State to give lta vote either to Governor Johnson or some other equally strong man. "I have found Governor Johnson remarkable example of a man pos sessing common horse sense on all matters to which he directs his at tention, and he is what I understand to be a Democrat. . It is being urged against him that he is not supported by all 'tha Democrats In Minnesota, and that he has formed the bad ablt Of bagging a large number of Uepubllcan votes. As for me, I will not raise this objection to him In South Carolina the sentiment mong a majority or the leaaingi Democrats is against Instructions, " and with the exception of one n nf nn prominent newspaper, all are In favor of an unlnstructed delegation to Denver. You can judge what that signifies, especially when Bryan is in sisting on Instructions in all cases. "I have heard some rumors of an intention on tha part of Bryan peo-. pie to abolish the two-thirds rule. If this is true, I will say that it 1s the only way Bryan can be nomi nated, and if the plan la resorted to, all Democrats who have lived under the old-established method would have a right to rebel. This-radteal action would be taken In the interest of one candidate, and not after free discussion and mature and dis interested deliberation. I do not hesitate to say this would make Bryan's defeat so disastrous that the Democratic party would be the butt of ridicule the world over. . "I should prefer Jo see an attitude of concession from Mr. Bryan such as he exhibited Just after the last defeat of the party, when he said In his newspaper. The Commoner: " 'Now that the campaign Is over hrf (Mr. Bryan) will, both through The Commoner and by personal ef fort, assist those wh desire to put the Democratic army once more upon a fighting basis.

While tha Democratic nominee In 189 and 1100 has prospered exceed ingly ever since he became a potent influence In tha Democratic party, tha national Democracy has only an un broken and disastrous series of d fuats to its credit.

They are thinking that it ought to be prac ticable to select a candidate who will give a fair return in results to the party for the honor which it bestows upon him. In tha case of Mr. Bryan the alliance has been a purely one sided -n so far as the benefits are concerned. . ' A candidate who ha brought only defeat to his party in the-pastfrnay be able-eioquent, sincere, an admir able man personally. But what Is there in hi record to establish a claim upon the confidence of his party? What doe it profit his party if he has prospered greatly in his private affairs, when his party ha during this period had an uninterrupted ae ries of lean years? What would It profit his party If a third nomination, followed by defeat, would assure him continued prosperity In hts profession al pursuits?
