Lyon again np-jpeared np-jpeared before the committee on lor-;eign lor-;eign r.fii'iirs to-day and exhibited copies of Senator Stewart's letters to which allusion was previously made. Witness reiterates his testimony of yesterday to the efiect that Senator Morion did not receive any money nor had he anything whatever to do with him and Senator Stewart in connection con-nection with the suit of witness in the Utah courts.

In conclusion, he charged Park and Stewart, who were friends of Schenck, with having witu nefarious intent and fraudulent statements, obtained from him nd other confiding confid-ing shareholders large sums of money. He asked whether Schenck endorsed the acts ot these men; said if an auswer should not-be given he would furnish a full statement to be published pub-lished in the New York papers, and also call thy attention ot Pre.-ident Grant to the question.

On this lie borrowed $23,000 (o pay (or his stock, ;'nd another $25,0u0 he borrowed from Park, and had not yet paid him all back. Witness said to Pa I lord there were no coal mines in Wisconsin.
