Chairman Ryan. — If there are any matters you wish to explain in 

 connection with the testimony that will be introduced you will have 

 an opportunity. 



Mr. Anibal. — We might, upon some testimony coming in, make 

 some suggestion, that we should want to briefly answer. 



Mr. Adams. — The clerk has a telegram that the witness I desired, 

 will be here in the course of the night so as to be on hand to-morrow 

 morning, and if a session could be held to-morrow morning, at 9 

 or half past 9, perhaps we could finish. 



Mr. Anibal. — Will you say who the witness is ? 



Mr. Adams. — No; I don't want to say now. 



Mr. Anibal. — We don't know what may be the nature of the exam- 

 ination,- we want it at such time when we wouldn't be shut off by the 

 necessities of the committee attending to other duties in our cross- 

 examination. 



Chairman Ryan. — Ji the committee, to-morrow, get to work by half- 

 past 9, and I hope it will be no later, and devote two hours and a 

 half — 



Mr. Adams.— I don't think it will take longer than half to three- 

 quarters of an hour for my part. 



Chairman Ryan. — That will conclude the testimony. 



Mr. Adams. — All we have to offer. 



Chairman Ryan. — It will be practically all concluded to-morrow 

 morning, unless this testimony you are about to introduce should 

 bring on testimony that you would not be prepared to rebut at the 

 moment, and you would have an opportunity between that and next 

 Tuesday evening. 



Mr. Anibal. — That is all we would ask. 



Chairman Ryan. — Will you ask to make any comments on the testi- 

 mony that has been given in a general way ? 



Mr. Fieeo. — It would seem to be desirable that we should in some 

 form or other submit to the committee our views as to what the result 

 of all this testimony is, to what way that should be done, we are not 

 strenuous one way or the other; whatever the committee and Mr. 

 Adams think would be advisable in that respect and most convenient, 

 would be satisfactory to us; that is, as to whether it should be oral or 

 written. 



Chairman Ryan. — If the witness whom we expect comes to-night, 

 so that we can examine him to-morrow, we will conclude the testimony, 

 and I presume that you will have time between, when we are 

 through with him and the commencement of the session to cross- 

 examine him and then on Tuesday evening we will have another meet-
