The Department of Justice Will Take the Matter ia Hand, The Views of Mr. Edmunds and Other Senators, MURDER OF GEN. BARRUNDEA. Call's Resolution For Prompt Government Action, Senator ARKANSAS CONTEST IN THE HOUSE. SENATE, A written communication from the Oswego board of trade, contradicting a statement of the Secretary of Agriculture on the subject of the production of barley, was presented by Mr. Evarts, who asked that it be printed in the Congressional Record. Objection to that was made, but five hun- dred copies were ordered to be printed for im- mediate distribution. Mr. Rusk's statement was that ba is the only cereal of which there is not raised a sufficiency for home con- sumption. The denial is to the effect that the annual product of the United States is about 60,000,000 bushels. and that the quuntity used last year for malting purposes was less than 45,000,000. Ten million bushels had been im- ported from Cauada—the quantity bolt su- siared for malting purposes to that of the nited States barley. THE MURDER OF GEN. BARRUNDIA, Mr. Call offered a resolution (which was re- ferred to the committee on foreign relations) declaring thatthe murder of Gen. Barrundia on the steamer Acapulco by the authorities of Guatemala while under the protection of the flag of tl ‘ited States was an insult to the people of the United States and demanded Prompt action by the government of the United States for the redross of that injury and for se- curity against the recurrence of such cases, THE TARIFF BILL was taken up—the sugar schedule being under consideration. Mr. Edmunds addressed the Beniate. He re- ferred toan assertion in Mr. Vance’s speech last evening that the farmer bore all the bur- den of custom duties, while he had no benefit from them. ‘Thut Senator had named a variety of articles that were on the free list, buthe had not named the article of mica, found in North Carolina, on which there isa duty. ~ % Mr. Vance—There 1s no duty on mica in this il ir. Edmunds—Then there ought to be. Mr. Vance—Put it there. WHAT NORTH CAROLINA FARMERS RAISE. Mr. Edmunds—He did not speak of the duty on tobaceo, nor of the duty on rice, which the farmers of North Carolina raise, He forgot the lumber interest of North Carolina, He shut his eyes to the importance of the pitch and tar and turpentine that have given such » whole- some and odorous name to the people of that state, Mr. Vance—They are put on the free list also and the duty on rice is reduced, Mr. Edmunds— Well, let us unite to put them where they belong. The fact is that the farmer ,of North Carolina is, in respect to every mate- rial interest, precisely in the condition of the farmer of Vermont, and if a tariff is bad for the farmer of North Carolina it is bad for the farmer of Vermont, COMING TO TRE QUESTION OF RECIPROCITY. Mr. Edmunds recalled the history and the practical opération Gnjurious to tho United States) of the Canadiax “Werty of 1854. He spoke of the reduction of the duty oun coffee 3 cents a posees in 1872, and stated, on the authority of the American minister to Brazil, that as soon as that reduction was known at Rio Janeiro the price of coffee there was put up 3centsa pound: The same thing occurred, he said, two years afterward when coffee was put on. the free list. Experience bad shown from that day to this that the American consumer had profited nothing what- ever from the taking off of that duty, WHAT WE HAD Lost. Bat, on the other hand, the United States had lost nearly $150,000,000 which it would have feceived from the duty on Brazilian coffee alone. As a practical farmer and farmer's son, he thought that the farmers in the. n where he lived understood that sort of were not extremely hungry that hi their representatives, should go into anything of that kind now. If the duty of two cents a yund were now taken off sugar he did not be- lieve that the price of sugar would fall two cents pound. It would be apt to turn out as coffee had turned out. He did not want to be led into putting sugar on the free list on what he be- Heved to be ‘THE FALLACIOUS AXD DELUSIVE IDEA that because sugar was now two cents a pound cheaper in London than in New York it would then be the same price in both places, Buteven if the wholesale price of sugar did fall by means of the removal of tbe duty, the price at the grocers would not fall. Somebody else than the consumer would make the money. As to reciprocity with Central and Sou! America, he suid that the demand of a country for commodities did not depend as much y numbers as upon the state of its society, its wealth and itscivilization. When ho looked at any Central American or South American state he thought (speaking with reserve and con- gorvatism) that any ono hundred Be peo- ple in North America had, during last year, consumed more of the products, merchandise, food and clothing that xo to make up the cont fort and luxury and happiness of mankind than any one thousand average people in the Central or South American states. Therefore the expectation of the United States being able to dispose of a largo increase of its products there, was, in his opinion, one of the greatest illusions that brilii men or sober statesmen had lately fallen into, He did Rot mean by that, however, that he willing and ad to try itor the plan of receiy- ing any of the products of countries which the United States do not produce and iving for them products which those countries jid not produce. On motion of Mr, Aldrich it was ordered that a recess be taken from 5:30 until 8 % ‘ation of e session to be for the the tart bill MR, MORGAN ADDRESSED THE SENATE ‘in support of the amendment héretofore pro- posed by him as a substitute for Mr, Aldrich’s reciprocity amendment, It provides for air ts eeecene ad valorem on corn, wi rye, E oat hay, straw, pota- thes, coliam’ Live ‘domestic! siete, "eed on asses, mules and horses, and Se creas oes e @ premium per ce: on their vi to owner. the reei ‘amendmonts aud said thes the effect of them — bes eeeeee ie cant and” "rhich wore 5 2 i ieee iniquit tho stols bla cova, out gol emay Without ister, a a hugeels of godt eae wrongs ee aed was elected Speaker pro tem. and took the chair amid applause from both sides of the House. ,On motion of Mr. Payson (Ill) a bill was carr to regulate the granting of leases at Hot rings, Ark. ; Fo pee Mearshen egneend or - oe _was paseed autho: construction of a bri. across the reaeaay river by the Middle Georgia and Atlantic Railroad Company. Mr. Manaur (Mo.) reported a resolution au- orizing a subcommittee of the committee on territories to proceed to Arizona and New Mexico to inquire into the social, educational, financial and moral conditions existing in thoes territories and to report whether they are pre- pared for statehood. Also to visit Utah and inquire tuto the extent of celestial marriages in that territory. Mr. Buchanan (' ) objected to its consid- eration. THE CLAYTON-BRECKINRIDGE CASE. The House then proceeded to the farther consideration of the Clayton-Brockinridge case, Mr. Bergen (N.J.) resumed his argument in favor of the unseating of Breckinridge. After depicting the assassination of Clayton he ecriti- oised Breckinridge for not resigning his seat and thereby disowning the advantage he had apes from the murder. He had not done so, t had stood by those who had stood by him at the death. WAS MR. BRECKINRIDGE A PARTY to the conspiracy which ended in the tragedy? He trusted not. He was almost ready to say that he believed not. He would feel very sad to make any statement on this floor that would beas terrible as that. But it hed been in Brockinridge’s power to save the life of Clay- tow. Had he done it? It was said he had. He (Bergen) trusted that he had, but the gentle- man evaded saying so. MR, CRISP OF GEORGIA CRITICISED THE REPORT of the subcommittee which visited Arkansas, charging the majority of that sudcommittce with omitting evidence from the record and with a refusal to take testimony for the con- testant. To his mind the majority re- port was incontrovertible evidence that the majority members of that subcommittee started out upon their investigation deter- mined to find something to sustain their pre- conceived ideas as to what the condition was in the second district of Arkansas, The whole majority report was founded UPoN “SUSPICION,” AXD NOT UPON “PROOF.” Continuing his criticism of the report, he quoted as the ‘milk in the cocoanut” the fol- lowing extract: “The necessity for the enatt- ment “of laws = which will prevent ballot ing aud = mur- der from conferring a — prima facie title to a seat in Congress is evident from the result in this contest. Had such laws been in force as would have prevented the contestee from taking his seat with such a title no owe would have —_ attempted to confer such title by stealing the ballot box.” There had been one ballot box stolen; but giving to Clayton every vote contained therein, there would have been no change in the prima face cave. The certificate had been given to Breckinridge long before the sad assassination of Clayton. Whether Clayton were dead or alive would not have in- terfered with the organization of the House. The certificate had been issued by the lawful authorities before the death of Clayton, and if that gentlemen had lived he would have been here simply as a contestant. MAKING SORGHUM SUGAR. An Encouraging Report Received From an Agent of the Agricultural Department The Secretary of Agriculture is in receipt of 4 report from Speciai Agent Cook of Kansas in which ke gives a very encouraging account of the improvements made in the sorghum sugar factory at Medioine Lodge in that state, and of the good results already shown in handling this season's crop. About 2,300 geres of cane were contracted for at this place, of which 325 acres of “early amber” and “Tennessee” varieties have been worked, yielding about four tons to the acre; 1,500 acres planted of the “early orange” are estimated to yield about seven tons tothe acre. The extreme dry weather has re- duced the yield, nor is the sugar quite as good as last year. However. it is perhaps in better condition at Medicine Lodgo than at any other place __ visited b: the special agent with the ex- v ception of Fort Scott aud Topeka, where it will average about as wellasat Medicine Lodge. The factory at this place started work on the 18th ultimo, and with the exception of two nights and one day, when it had to lay off, owing to the farmers being unable to get cane to tho factory, it had run continuously up to the date of the special agent's rope t, comin 4 altogether ten days’ running, during whic time it had run off the early caye grown on the 825 acres referred to, and which yielded 1,250 tons, making 68,000 pounds of sugar already aa tae by the state inspector, while that in tanks and sugar wagons yet to throw out were estimated to make 100,000 pounds in all or about 80 pounds of first sugar per ton of cane. ‘The syrup was in tanks in the hot room, and it ‘was estimated that there would be 20 pounds to ton of cane of second sugars, altogether @ total of 100 pounds per ton, which is about 30 pounds to the ton more than was obtained last year. The improvements in the working of the mill are very noticeable, especially in the matter of minimizing the waste and saving time. There is w better extraction of juice, the cane is cleansed better and cut finer, and the work has all the advantage of more experienced labor in all departments of the Jgrei y Sos Agent Cook reports the best of feeling between the farmers, laborers and proprietors of the fuc- tory, and everything seems to be working smoothly. It was expected that the factory would start work again Wednesday, September 8. and as the cane will be received from more furms,no delay is anticipated from want of cane, and the proprietors confidently ex- pect. to average two hundred tons of cane every twenty-four hours, making alto- pee 1,000,000 pounds of sugar this season af ig factory, and this notwithstanding shortage of season and crop. The report concludes as follows: ‘Iu short, the prospect looks very encouraging at this place. Everything is being conducted with system and business manage- ment, and the proprictors of the sugar @s well as others who are familiar with the Workings here, feel more confident than ever of the financial success of the manufacture of sugar from sorghum cahe and beets in this section.” It should be stated that the mentions ine Ledge that aro locking well aad growing i that are well an wi nicely, the yield of which 1t is e: pectod will be worked up at the factory in question.

New York Central Investigation Con- tinued Before the State Board. New Yonx, Sept. $—The state board of me- | diation and arbitration to day resumed its ef- forts to ascertain the causes of the strike on the New York Central and Hudson River rail- road. Hamilton Harris, counsel for the rail- road, company, called as the first witness Gen- oral Manager Toucey. Chairman Purcell asked | him to give the board such information as he possessed in reference to the discharge of Mas- ter Workman E. J. Lee. Mr. Toucey said he had an interview with | Mr. Lee some time ago, in the course of which Mr. Lee alluded to the watering of the com pany’s stock—intimated that some one was making a good deal of money and that he and other men ought to have some of it. In reply to a question by Gen. Pryor the wit- ness said he did not discharge Mr. Lee before the talk about stock watering. Mr. Lee made certain demands on behalf of some of the men and they were refused. Supt. Voorhees testified that he had nothing to do with the discharge of any of the seventy- eight men. He was out of town for three weeks before the strike. Master Mechanic Buchanan testified that in discharging Lew he did so by orders of Vice President Web» and had no personal knowl- edge of the causes for his discharge. Of the seventy-eight men discharged he knew the causes for discharge in the case of two only, | Mallory and Con nae was discharged | for obtaining a under false pretenses. and Conway for neglect of duty. Conway absented himeelf without leave and was several times late in the morning aud at noon. Trainmaster J. W. Stevens on being called by counsel for the railroad company testified that he had never told any employe of the com- any that he must either leave the Knights of bor or leave the road. Then Gen. Pryor called John Seery of 219 East 36th street, who was employed under Stevens, Seery testified that he went into Mr. | Stevens’ office to get some supplics, and Mr. Stevens asked him if it was true he had joined the Knights of Lalor. Seery told him it was. Then Stevens told him he should not have jounea without aquainting him, as he had helped im to better his position. Mr, Stevens further said that he had fbetter get out of the knights or is might cost him his bread and butter. Seery undersotod him to mean that if he did not leave the knights he would be discharged. ‘heir conversation occurred on August 1. At the request of Mr. Stevens he was recalled. He said part of Seery's tostimony was true and tof it was not, did ask ‘Seery if he be- longed tothe Knights of Labor and he told him he ought not to join them without ac- quainting him. This was on account of his personal relations to Beery, he having got him 8 better position aud more pay than he had been receiving. He did not tell him his bread and butter depended on his Icaving the knights, but when Seery asked him what he ought to do he told him he must act on his own judgment, If Seery was his brother, how- ever, he would advise him to leave them, as in case of astrike he would find himself com- pelled to go out with them. Gen, Pryor asked the witness if be had a conversation with Con- ductor Wm. Gibson in reference to his leaving the Knights of Labor. Mr, Stevens said Gibson came to him with his resignation from the Knights of Labor and asked him to mail it for him. The witness promised to do #0 and told Gibson he wis glad to see him taking that si He never advised any one toleave the Knights of Labor. At the conclusion of Mr. Stevens’ testimony Gen. Pryor announced that he had no more witnesses to call here, byt had a uumber in Albany. ‘The board decided to adjourn uatil Friday at 10 a.m., when it will meet in Albany at 8o1 there to be selected later. Sec- retary Hayes of the executive board of tho Knights of Labor handed up to Chairman Pur- cella sone tant of witnesses who are to be sub- peenaed to testify in Albany.

This statement, it should be understood, applies more particularly to the sanitary management of the institution, The general conduct of the prison is fairly good. What the sanitary state of affairs is, however, may be jadged from the fact that no longer ago than last April the prison was swept b: scourage of scurvy which nothing short of al- most criminal negligence could have t on. At one time not less than between thirty and forty convicts were down with the disease, aud this by no means represents the number who were ‘actually atthe There isa dread among the prison convicts of going to the prison hospital, which keeps many who are im need of medical treatment from applying for it, During the scurvy epidemic last spring it kept at least one man from revealing bis illness and he suffered in silence, and finaily faced death itself without telling anybody that be was asick man, He was found one morning in his cell stone dead, and the disease which enuse his death was scurvy. There are still some casesd of scurvy left, but they are mild and the disease in its epidemic form bas disap. peared, The Sun says that the hospital is crowded and the air of the room foul. In the men’s ward the water closet is right ont in the room in plain view of ali the sick, not 10 feet away, in fact, from some of the beds, and with not even 80 much aga sereen around it, Further than this the mattresses on the beds are foul With dirt and the shects and pillow cases grimy and unwholesome. But it is in the hospital attendance that the abuse and neglect are worst. In this respect a state of affairs exist which is littie short of crimmal, The attend- ants are all convicts There is not «single trained nurse or one who knows anything whatever about care ug for the sick, unless by chance there happens to be some criminal who has bad w little experience that way. The Worst feature of this is that it falls to the lot of one of these ignorant criminals to handle all drugs and measure out and deal out all the doses of medicine which the doctors prescribe. An instance of the working of this system oc- curred a week ago last Sunday. An oid man named Hamilton was very ill of dysentery and when Jockey Sullivam turned the drag wheel of fortune there fell out for Hamilton a dose of a strong cathartic, Poor Hamilton died on the following Tuesday night. The hospital doctor seemed to think his death was quite a curious circumstance, for they cut him up in the interest of science to see what was the matter with him. That all of the doctors are not all indifferent to the is evident, for Dr. Farwell, of the staff of resi- even gon to give formal notice that he positively declines yderwidaes eo the sick as Jong as ut system of management continues, The immedia Dr. Farwell’s this vigorous stand was the outrage in the case of Hamilton. Besides the outrage that is daily perpetrated im the administration of medicines isoners the sick do not get the food the doctors order for them and which their condition demands. One reason for this is that the convict attendants calmly devour , whom they i
