C., May 17.—| There was an area of low barometer and indications threatening a storm when the Senate met today. Mr. Morgan opened proceedings by of fering a resolution which, after re citing the existence of the Sbhermau anti-trust. law of June 2. 1892, and the alleged existence of a Sugar trust, called on the Attorney Geuer al for information as to whether any proceedings were pending agaiust such corporation; if so, what stage they had reached; if not, whether, in his opinion, there was any defect in the anti trust law Tue Lodge tariff bribery and su gar investigation resolution, which came over from yesterday, was then laid before the Senate by Vice Presi nt Stevenson, and Mr. Lodge took e floor. “On Monday,” he said, “‘an article ad appeared in the Philadelphia ress, charging that enormous pro- fit would accrue to the Sugar trust by the fixing of the date when the sugar schedule would go into effect January 1, which profit was esti- mated at $50,000,000. It charged the schedule was exacted by the trust in fulfillment of pledges made to it during the campaign of 1892. | for campaign purposes of the Demo jcratic party; therefore, Resolved, That a committee of five Senators be appointed to inves | tigate these charges and to inquire |further whether any contributions ; have been made by the,Sugar Trust or aby person connected therewith to any political party for campaign |or election purpose, or to secure or defeat legislation, and whether any Senator has been or is speculating |in what are known as sugar stocks during the consideration of the tariff bill now before the Senate aud | pers and to send for persons and to administer oats. Resolved, further, That said cou mittee be authorized to investigate and report*upon any charge ot alleging the action of aiy Seto that has been corruptly er niyo, erly intluenced in the of said bill, or that any atteapt ws been made to influence lezis!it: n APPROPRIATIUN LILL PASSED. One Making Proyisions for the Agu- cultural Bill Disposed of - Waskington, May 17.—Among the bills favorably reported in the house today was one by Mr. Chickering of New York, from the committee ou railways and canals, to inquire into the feasibility of constructing a ship canal from the Hudson river to the great lukes. After the call of the committees the house went into com- mittee of the whole to consider the It also charged the Jones amend- ments were in the hands of a firm of New York brokers whose names were given atthe very time when their existence was denied by the chairman of the finance committee and others. “These charges were made by E J. Edwards, a well-known newspaper man, who wrote over the nom de plume of Holland; if they were in any truth the public ought to know; if false they constituted a libel of the grossest kind. On yesterday a New York paper, from its correspondent here, had printed a story of an al leged attempt to bribe Senators that since had been confirmed by an in- terview with one of the Senators ” Mr. Hunton (Democrat) of Virgi- nia said that hi®name had been con- nected with the charges he desired to say he hoped they would be investigated to the lowest depths. It was not becoming in him to say mere than this at this time. Asa matter of fact, he had never been approached at all. He felt annoyed that anyone should suppose he could have been bribed, and especially in the form in which the attempt was made—through a well-beloved son, who stood as high above anything of the sort as he (Senator Hunton) claimed to be. EXTENDING THE INQUIRY. Mr. Cockrell (Democrat) of Mis souri suggested that the resolution be amended so the inquiry relatirg to the Sugar trust should extend t> contributions to any political party for campaign purposes. Mr. Lodge declared that he would cheerfully accept the amendment Mr. Cockrell suggested another amendment toincludeafter the words “sugar trust,’ “or any persons con- nected therewith,’ and also after the words “money paid for campaign purposes” “or to secure legislation.” also. MR. LODGE’S RESOLUTION. As no response had been made to Mr. Allen’s insinuation about Sena tors speculating in sugar stock dur ing the consideration of the tariff bill, he presented at this point a for mal amendment to include these charges in the inquiry. It was ac- cepted by Mr. Lodge, and then, without division, just as the morning hour expired, the resolution was adopted. The amended resolutionis as fol lows: Whereas, It has been stated in | the Sun, a newspaper published in New York, that brides have been offered to certain Senators to induce agricultural appropriation bill, and Mr. R chardson of Tenn. took the chair.

AFTER MURDERER TAYLORS. —A POSSE LEAVES KAN- SAS CITY IN SEARCH. | Rewards Offered—A Strong Ef- fort Being Made to Capture The Brothers. | Kansas City, Mo., May 18.—Five men left here this morning under jcharge of Deputy United States | Marshal Pierman, in search of the ND GLASSWARE | Taylor brothers who murdered the Meeks family. jial officers, having been commission- jed by Gov. Store for this purpose. The posse is made up of men of in- domitable courage. A man knows the country through Lion and Sullivan counties accompanied the officers. Mr. Pierman believes that the Taylors are still in the neighborhood of their great crime,where they bave a number of friends aud sympa thizers. Many are bound to them there in crime, and dare not betray them. Horses were ordered for at Milan, and the search made through Linn aud counties. CHILDS e east side of the Il and complete them will be Sullivan Two Winchesters were secured in Kansas City and two more were re- ceived from Adrian, for the party. Governor Stone offered a reward of $300 on the part of the state for each of the two Taylors yesterday. Rewards offered by the county and private citizens heretofore aunounce- ed amount to $2,000, and the $600 m. $8,000 to $25,000. The discussion of the paragraph dealing with the investigation of irrigation matters led to a serious difference of opinion The members from Texas, California and the arid regions of the west and southwest, where the subject of ir rigation isa burning question, de manded one and two hours to dis- cuss the paragraph and amendments while Mr. Hatch was willing to con- cede twenty minutes. Mr. Hatch’s motion to close the debate in twenty minutes was amend ed by Mr. Cannon (republican) of Illinois sc as to make it one hour, when the house dividea—61 to 77— and Mr. Cannon made a point of no quorum. Then followed a period of filibustering, led by Nr. Cannon. It resulted in fixing the limit of de bate at thirty minutes. Mr. Her Hermans amendment was then de feated. An amendment providing for the iutroduction of ramie a Chinese plant resembling silk, was adopted; also an amendment providing that persons who should knowingly pub lish a false weather forecast or warn- ing should be fined ina sum not to exceed $500 or imprisonment not to exceed ninety days or both An amendment was also adopted author- izing the secretary of agriculture to inquire into the feasibility of dis playing weather signals from the} postal cars. At 5 o'clock the consideration of the bill was cencluded and the com- mittee on the whole having risen, the bill being favorably reported to the House, and the previous ques- tion being ordered, the bill was favorably reported to the House and the previous question being ordered the bill was passed, in spite of Mr. Marsh’s efforts to recommit. At 5:04 the house adjourned. Poverty Causes a Tragedy.

Washington, D. C., May 17.—Hon. Herman Stump, United States Su- perin‘endent of Immigration, was here yesterday. Mr. Stump said that he was pleased to be able to state that business in his line was good, in so much as immigration had fallen off 60 per cent since last October, which was goods news, in his opinion, for the country. He further stated, as a remarkable fact, tiat notwithstanding the thousauds of idle men reported all over the country, the applications for all classes of laborers at the station at Ellis Island, N. Y., bad exceeded by 490 per month the ability of the Ewploywest Bureau supply. Tae applications were for farm hands, servants and all kinds of domestic laborers. to | Coxey tor Congress.

The comments of the newspapers conceruing the ticket nominated by the Democratic convention in this city is universally commendatory. Political friends and foes alike pay tribute to the high character and eminent fitness of the gentlemen nominated for each of the offices. They are able, houest and progress- ive men, who will serve the State with fidelity aud acceptability. With such candidates the Democracy of Missouri ought to score a triumph greater than any of recent years. Eulogy applied te such gentlemen isa waste of words. They are so favorably known, so eminently quali- fied for the work and so nearly in touch with the people that nothing ‘ean be said which will strengthen ‘the hold they already have on the affections of the public. Everywhere their names inspire confidence and create enthusiasm. There is nothing to defend in their records, and the jcampaign will be an agressive one from start to finish. That is the sort of a campaign that wins. It's early yet to think of a canvass for the fall election, but the sooner \the work is begun the better. The jcampaign committees ought to be Organized at once in every county and the preliminary work set in mo- tion. If that part of the labor is | disposed of eerly there will be the more time and better chance to at- tend to the urgent work of the last stages of the campaign when the season for that comes on. There is no time like the present for effective political work.—Kansas City Times. Swept The Valtey.
