Ilia side of the controversy has been stated jso fully in the press vnd through dispatches made by Mr. Stevens that the public is more with it Tho only thins necessary to be done was for Mr.

Stevens to relate under oath- the matters of whioh the Committee had been advised unoffi cially, and to enter into those things which could not be discussed in publicj This latter phase of Mr. Stevens's testimony was by far the most important. I There has been much speculation since the President's message was sentf to Confront Mr. Stevens to the State I Department that was withheld by the President gress as- to. the-contents of the message on the ground of public It is understood that this letter wasi one of those confidential communications from diplomatic agents to their respective governments touching upon the so-called intrigues of othjer governments.

Mr. Stevens to-day gave the Committee iwhat he supposed to be the letter referred and it can be said -in a general way that it re lated to the attitude of the English Minister in connection with the affairs at the Hawaiian Islands and his relations with the court of the deposed Queen.

20. The President to-day vetoed the New York and New Jersey Bridge bill. The text of the veto message is as follows: JTo the House of Representatives: I hereby return without my approval Tlouse biU No, 3,289" entitled "An act to Authorize the New York, and New Jersey Bridge Companies to construct a bridge across the Hudson River between New DTork City and the State of New The biJi authorizes the construction of a bridge over the North River between the States of New York and New Jersey, the terminus of which in the City of New BTerrk shall not be below Sixty-sixth Street. It contemplates the construction of a bridge upon- piers placed in --the. river; no mention is made of a single span crossing the entire river, nor is there anything in the Ml Indicating that it was within the intention of the" Congress that there should be a bridge built without piews.

I am by tio means" certain that the Secretary of War, who is invested bv the terms of the 'bill with considerable discretion so far as the plans for the structure are concerned, would have the right to exact of the promoters of this-enterprise the erection of a bridge spanning the entire river. Much objection has been made to the location of any, piers in the river, for the reason that they would seriously in-terferu with the commerce which seeks the port of New York through that chancel. It is certainly doubtful whether piers should be allowed in the North River at the point designated for the erection of this bridge. It seems absolutely certain that within a few years a great vo2iTm of shipping will extend to that location which would be seriously embarrassed by such obstructions. I appreciate fuUy the importance of securing some means by which the railroad traffic can cross this river; and no one can fail to realize the serious inconvenience travel caused by the lack of facilities of that character.

At the same time it is a plain dictate of wisdom andl expediency that the commerce or the river be not unnecessarily interfered witu by. bridges or in any other manner. Engineers, whose judgment upon the3 matter cannot be questioned, inaudrng the engineer of the company proposing to build this bridge, have expressed the opinion that the entire river can panned afeSy and effectively by a sus-j! pension bridge, or a construction not needv Ins the use of piers. The company to which the permission-to bridge the river ia granted in the bilf nder consideration was created byrvirtut ttl an act of the legislature ot tne tats New York, which became a law reason of the failure' of the Governor iUS either approve or veto the same on UUth day sl Avm. it may saieiy.

assumed that the members of the Legist iature which passed this law knew whaf was uect'ssiary for the commerce of th5 citr of New York and had informed tbem4 selves concerning the plan of a l)ridg that should he Duiit in view or an tn interests concerned. By paragraph 24 of the law creating this company it is pr-oJ that the said bridge snail do const etructed with a single span over the entire river between towers or piers located beg twetn the span and the existing pier head lines in either State," and that -no "pie or tower or other obstruction of a ier manent character shall be placed or buil in the river between said towers or pier under this act." In view of Hich profeaskmal judgments: end conjaidering the imtierests wixich woiil be intOTfered with by the location of pier4 in the rivw, and having due regard toth judgment of the of the stata at New York, it seems to that neceetn bating the use of piers in the bed o4 the river should be avoided. The qqesMo of increased cost of construction or compromise of conflicting interests shouljj cot outweigh the other important cou iderations involved. I notice t.h-e bUl provides that tne conir panies availing taeniselves of it provisiois nail receive no greater pay ior iruunuutre ing the mails across tba bridge than is af-IowhJ Der mile to railroads using thesaaafr tf tluU i kvt-nded. as the laaeuace oeems to import, to anthorize thi bridge coai-nur to eh arse, the Limited States Goveriii- jnent a toll for the carriage of it mails eoross the bridge, equal to the amouit wrhioh may be paid per mile by the O'ot-eminent iar carrying the mails by roads crossiai tibe trtidge, it seems to ue It shouid not be allowed.

The expeiLse tfl the Government for carrying the mails ovr atmcture should beyond amy dout be limited to the compensation paid tire railroads for the tranKrtation. i An exceedingly important objection to the bill remains to be considered. In 181W the North River Br.dge Coomany was in corpora ted by an act of Congress for tee purplxas of coustTUCfimg a bridge across the North River, the York terming of whkih was. located at or near Street the city of New York. TJk wonotfltion to construct the bridge at that point was a subject very carefully aifd thoroughly examined at that time and during the agitation of the project for a number of years prior to the passage of tlje act.

As a result or suaa examination mnch dianusslon 3ongress granted perrais- sion to this coropiny to construct a bridge having single span and suspend irom towers on eat-n nue ot im? nr, auu the act especially prohibited placing anv taers in the river either of a teanporajy or of a permanent character in coaai.ect:(a i w-ith aid brnige. uuus pian co nnuge river without piers was at that time cosa-. eidered feasible by the engineers of tB? company anddt acoeptetl the termss of the "ScL Before this permisason was finally granted a number of wis were introduee-l fa the Congress, covering the same m-ject, wihich were referred to Goveraineixt engineers. Reports were made by tliee officers iu every case insisting upon a with a single pan and without, piers in the bed of the river. i The eighth subdivision of the bill heiSe Kertof ore- created or ths purpose pf.

(Special.)

The effect of this would be. of course, to put barley on the fre list Mr. Daniels's amendment was snawed under by a large majority anl then the House! in Committee of the Whole proceeded to rote down the previous amendment. It" fa possible that another effort may be made to change the rate on barley, but Representative Lockwood and other members -who are watching the niatter say to-night they do not believe that the uommittee will make another attempt to alter its original figures in reia-tewi to this particular commodity.
