i eT ‘Sugar Trust Inauiry. | BIG Washington, D. C, May 31.—| FLOODS. Senator McPherson was today be-|Great Loss ot Human Life and Prop- fore the Sen2torial committee to ir-| vestigate the alleged interference of | the Sugar trust with Congress and the executive departments. He re iterated the statement he recently made on the floor of the Senate that | ji¢g. when it became apparent that sugar was to be the subject of legislation he instructed his broker to cease all dealing in sugar stock in his name. The committee also examined Senators Harris and Milis and con cluded the sittiny for the day with he testimony of Secretary Carlisle, who denied explicity all charges made in Mr. Edwards’ letter, except one. This one assertion that while conferring with the committee he at the suggestion of the members of the committee, and using their figures, | put a sugar schedule into shape, as he did other paragraphs in the bill. This,the Secretary said,he had done He declared he had not made such a visit as he was represented as make ing to the committee to demand the sugar interest be cared for in the tariff bill because of the democratic party’s obligation to the Sugar trust The examination of Senators Har ris and Mills completed the inquiry among members of the finance com mittee and Senators who assisted in the preparation of the bill. Both Senators denied any knowledge of the operation of the Sugar trust in connection with legislation, and also denied that Mr. Carlisle had demand ed protection for sugar. Senator Mills asked if it was true, as had been reported, that Mr. Car lisle had given Mr. Havemeyer of introduction to himself. He said this was a fact, but he had declined to receive the letter. It is understood the committee has come into the possession of the name of the wire manufacturer who is represnted to have overheard the conversation between Senators and members of the Sugar trust while occupying an adjoining room at the Arlington hotel, and that he will be subpeenaed to appear and make a statement. Vice President Stevenson has signed the certification Sebriver and Edwards {to the district attorney. This is the formal order made under the law of 1857, under which it is purposed to try to punish Edwards Schrivyer for withholding names of persons giying them information. National Finances. Washington, D. C., May 31.—The cash balance in the treasury at the close of business to day was $119,- (Carlisle) on one occasion, erty.—Whole Villages on the Frazer River Floating | Vancover, B. C., May 30.—The | overflow of the Frazer River is caus ling great destruction aud loss of The valleys have been sub merged, the houses of ranchers have been swept away, and fields laid io |waste. Manyherds of catttle and | flocks of sheep have been drowned. | Whole villages on the banks of the stream are floating. So far seven lives are known to kave been lost At Langley, a*lttle boy fell from the Langley Hotel aud was swept away by the flood. The hotel was finally washed away. The town is flooded. The whole of Langley prairie is now under water, and an island on which the Indian reserva tion is situated, is entirely under water. The dead bodies of three men and a little girl were found among floating trees. Many other bodies are reported as having been seen in the stream in other localities, but so terrible was the current that no attempt at res cue could be made. At Morris steam- ers are sailing in water where a week ago were farms. Farmers, fearing to remain longer, are taking passage on stamers and bringing their families here. The towns of Cillawiack, Harrison and Centerville have been almost en tirely inuudated, and it was with difficulty that the inhabitants escap ed with their lives. The damage done to the Canadian Pacific Riilroad tracks is very serious all along the line. At Hatztie the diking has entirely given away and 600 yards of road have been destroy- ed. At Necomen the whole town is under water. Traffic over the rail road 1s entirely stopped, no trains having arrived from the East since May 23. No mails have been re ceived or sent. At Hatztic and Griffin 600 men are endeavoring to repair the tracks At Plach it is proposed to throw hawsers across the chasms, and in this way transfer the mails to the east side. The People and the Senate. It is quite true, as the House com rsittee says in its fayorable report on aresolution declaring for the elec tion of Senators by a direct vote of the people, that the Senate. “‘origi- nal ordanied as a breakwater against the fiery democracy fresh from the people, has become, under the guise of Senatorial courtesy, an open ob struction to the popular will.” This 062,893, of which $70,280,015 was| has been illustrated in a most pro gold reserve. Advices from New York say about $1,400,000 in gold was to-day engaged for shipment to morrow, which, with Wednesday's engagement of $800,000 will leave] excuse. the gold reserve on June 1 but little in excess of $77,00¢,000. The cash balance will also be reduces by in- terest and other payments due to- nounced way during the last year. The work of legislation has been systematically delayed by that body without any reasonable pretext or It has treated the known wishes, the direct appeals, of the people with studied indifference, and the best interests of the country have suffered accordingly.

These excesses of expenditures| exploded. for the eleven months of the fiscal year will exceed the receipts and teave a deficiency of something over $74,000,000. Treasury officials are beginning to ship small quantities of gold coin from outside sub-treas- uries to New York to recoup the gold balance there. New York still has about $42,000,000, San Francis- co about $11,500,000 and Washing- ton about $5,700,000. Small ship- ments of light-weight gold coin are also being made to the Philadelphia mint, where their value will be as certained so as to enable the officials to closely approximate the amount of the appropriation which will be needed to meet the shortage.

It has not eyen escaped grave sus- picion of corruptien in the adjust- ment of a tariff bill. The record of of its delinquencies has come to bea national reproach, in short, and it grows worse instead of better. It may be that this is attributable, wholly or partly, to the manner in which Senators are chosen, and that the plan of direct election by the people would work an improvement, This could only be determined by a practical test, of course, with the possibility that it might prove some- thing else to be wanting; andthe ex- periment can not be tried without the consent of the Senate itself, which is hardly to be expected. The Constitution cannot be amended, that is to say, without a- two-thirds vote of both houses in fayor of the proposition, and the Senate is not to be counted upon for co-operation in the work of discrediting itself. But there is an indirect way to accom’ plish such an object. The people can insist upon having candidates for the Senate nominated by State Conventions, thus subjecting their |claims and qualifications to the pub-| lic discussion, and causing them to fieers. In this way the uncertainties and frequent surprises of Senatorial contests as now conducted can be | avoided, and the duty of the Legis- \lature reduced to the mere act of preference expressed by a majority of the voters xt the polls. The ex- pedieut has been adopted in several instances with satisfactory results; and there is no reason why it should not become the general rule under the conditions that in the polities of a State when a Senator is to be elected.—Globe Democrat. dent.

Two humble disciples of St. Coxey honored LaDue with their presence last week. They claimed they had always been Democrats but had flopped and would be Republicans _ hereafter. Naturally enough they felt mean enough to steal—and steal they did W. O. Dupree, an apostle of third party ideas encountered the wander- ing pair and strove to convert them t> populism. He wrestled with them in vain and as a last resort sent up to the house for a choice loaf of bread which he presented them breathing the hope that the might yet see the beauties of the third party. That night Fahenstock’s store was considers entered by burglars. Boots, hats and other articles were stolen. The two new Republican converts were far away rejoicing. As mementoes of their visit they left Mr. Dupree’s loaf of breadin conspicuous place with this inscription ‘pinned to it: ‘Many thanks, but we can't stand it to eat third party bread.”—Clinton Democrat.

May 31—Taylor Fox shot and severely wounded Jim Williams near this place to day Both are middle aged men, laboring on farms near here. There had been afeud existing between them fo some time and Williams determined to settle the matter by killing Fox. He secured his shotgun and stole to within a short distance of Fox’s house. He presently saw’ his victim standing in the door with his little children back of him. He snapped his gun but it missed fire. Fox, being on the alert, quickly turned and saw his enemy lying on the ground ina small clump of bushes near the house. A second snap soon followed from Williams’ gun, but no report. Fox then grabbed bis shot gun and as Williams raised to get a new cap for bis gun he received the contents of Fox’s gun in the abdo men. It was loaded with turkey shot The wound may prove fatal.
