It Is generally expected that no matter which way tho decisions ot tho lower courts go the suit will be nppeoled, firnt to the superior court ot Pennsylvania nnd then to the higher courts. Tho Commercial Gnzetto Is authority for tho statement thnt Mr. Carneglo has been In formed by a telegram from tbo Carneglo Steel company's offices that Messrs.

This move tho attorneys of Mr. Carnegie regard a somewhnt peculiar, as they feel tho nn swer of threo of tho defendants will he en tirely different from the others. An ac knowledgment by theso defendants to the suit thnt some or nil of the allegations set forth In Mr. Frlck's bill nro truo and con sequently they offered no defense would cer- tnlnly complicate matters considerably and would grently add to the difficulty of un raveling the equities of tho celebrated case. It Is also expected that early this week tho roko suit of H. C. Frlck, Henry Phlppi. Jr., John Walker and other minority holders of the coke company stock will be entered.

He began with his first Inter view with Mr. Hunt on August f last and his report wns a practical repetition of Justice Hunt's testimony, except ns to tho amount named. Ho said that at tho first Interview ho hail Invited the Judge to his ofilco nnd had taken him Into his operating room, where the Interview occurred. "I told tho Judge." said the witness, "that I had a funny kind of proposition to make to him." Tho witness then went on to say that he had told the Justlco of tho arrival In Helena of a special train and snld ho told tho Judge j that thero was n party there that would glvo $50,000 If ho would dismiss tho Well come disbarment case. Tho Judge promptly ! ald that ho could not consider such a propo isitlon nnd left.

Ho said bo had told the Judge of the ru mors that ho wns under Mr. Daly's Inllu enco nnd that the latter would Insure his re-election. Tho witness then snld ho had told tho Judge that If ho could decently do so ho would like to set him get tho money to bo hnd out of tho case. Tho Judgo had refused nt both times to entertain thn prop osltlon, as ho hnd at n subsequent Intervlow threo or four weeks later. Dr. Tracey said ho had never had author tly from any ono to mnko a proposition of bribery to Mr. Hunt, but ho had not told tho Judgo of this circumstance until he wns I notified that Judge Hunt was to bo sum moned to Washington. Ho had then told tho Judgo that ho had no $50,000 or $100,000 to offer him nnd no authority from any ono to mako such nn offer. Heferrlng to his Interviews with Attorney General Nolan tho wltnt-ss said that when ho spoko to thnt gentleman ubout tho Wcll- como enso tho latter replied, "I've got thom over a barrel."

Ccnduuliig, lio Raid tli.v. he had expi-ctid n more Indignant protof. at the first 'liter view than ho had received. Asked what "party" be bad meant to refer to when ho had told Judge Hunt that l.o could get JD0.0OO or $10'),000 out ct tho case, the witness said ho "did not mean nnybody." "Then you told him what was not truoT" "I did. I might as well have told him that ho could got $1,000,000." The witness paid ho know ot the presenco In Helena of the special train from Putto which had brought Mr. Corbett, C. W. Clark and ethers from Unite on tho day ho first spoke to Judgd Hunt nnd had heard tho gossip that tho fcuprcme court wna to bo bought.

Ho could not. however, glvo the name of any one person from whom he had beard tho Intimation. Dr. Tracey sold that, while n rej ubllcan In politics, ho had favored .Mr. Clark's elec tion to the senate. INVESTIGATION IS BEGUN Committee on .Mllltnry AITulri.
