CABELL, Principals THAT ARLINGTON MEETING Branches American Testimony Before the Senate Sugar Inves- tigating Committee. Correspondents Refuse to Divualge the Name of Their Informant, Who is a Member of the House. The Senate sugar investigating commit- tee struck two very obdurate snags yester- day afternoon in the persons of a couple of newspaper correspondents, who refused to divulge the sources of their information. The first of these was Mr. John S. Shriver, New York Mail and Express in this city. He was examined In regard to a dispatch which appeared in his paper on May 19, in which he had stated with some circumstantiality that an inter- view between certain United States Sena- tors and members of the sugar trust, held in a parlor of the Arlington Hotel, had been overheard by a wire manufacturer who oc- cupied the adjoining room. After acknowl- edging that he had written the dispatch Mr. Shriver was asked the name of his authority and also the name of the wire manufacturer mentioned in his dispatch. Mr. Shriver said that the story been «given him by a Representative, but he de- clined either to give his name or the name of the wire manufacturer, his reasons being that the Representative, while he gave him the story for publication, did not wish to be brought into the scandal or be called | upon to testify, and he had made witness | promise not to reveal his name. The com- mittee tried by various methods to make | Mr. Shriver disclose his authority, asking | him whether the member was a democrat cr a republican, and where he lived or could be found. Overheard the Talk. During Mr. Shriver’s testimony he stated | that he had fortified himself with facts in regard to the truth of the story, and had | found that the wire manufacturer had been at the Arlington Hotel from March 6 to the ¥th, and had occupied the room next to that | occupied by Mr. Terrell of the sugar trust, who had been at the hotel from March 2 to the 19th. He gave the number of the rooms occupied. Mr. Shriver said that the wire manufac- turer on the morning after the conference met the Representative, and seemed in an excited state of mind. He slapped the Rep- resentative on the shoulder, and remarked that now he was certain that the Wilson bill would never pass, because the night be- fore he had occupied a room next to that occupied by some sugar men, and he had overhead enough of the conversation to lead him to believe that the tariff bill was dead. The wire man also stated that sev- eval Senators were in the room with the sugar men, and he had recognized them by their voices. He likewise vol- unteered that at times the discussion became so heated and loud that he ‘was unabje to sleep, and was therefore kept awake and obliged to hear all that was said and done. Mr. Shriver told the committee that he had no personal objec- tions to giving the names of other parties than the Representative, to whom he felt bound to preserve confidence. Declined to Give the Name. ‘The committee excused Mr. Shriver after @ comparatively brief effort to arrive at the sources of his information until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, informing him that he could take the time in the interim to con- sult the Representative who had given him his information, and also a lawyer as.to his Mability in case he should persist in declining to reveal the authority for his publication. ‘After Mr. Shriver was excused, Mr. Harry W. Walker, Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, was called and asked to state where he had obtained the information published by him in a dispatch | in which he had stated that a prominent | member of the cabinet had intimated | that the President himself had confessed | that the democratic party was under obli- | gations to the sugar trust. Mr. Walker also confirmed Mr. Shriver’s story about at the Arlington Hotel be- | of the suga> trust and certain United States Senators, and saying thet he also had recetved his’ information from a member of the House. Like Mr. Shriver, he declined to give the name of the Representative who had given him the information, j fencing, JOHNSTON § Teas and Coffees, 729 h St. Special Day, Special Checks, Special Prices, java and Mocha Coffee, 3 igs oc.

A BREEZY EPISODE Senator Hoar Intimates That Votes Are | Bargained For. Senator Allen, Who is Referred to, Denies in Detail That He Has Made Any Arrangement. The thunder following the lightning flash of Mr. Gorman’s speech continued to re- verberate about the Senate yesterday after- noon. When Mr. Hale had finished in- serting the pins of his sarcasm into the address of the Senator from Maryland there was about an hour’s dispute between Senator Palmer on the democratic side and several others on the other side, who were only too glad to get a chance to talk back to any one. Then for a time matters went more smoothly, relating to fence wire was reached. Mr. | Peffer stirred up a very pretty row by presenting, at the request of Senator Allen, who was absent, the proviso that ali baling and binding wires shall be admitted free of duty. Mr. Allen ex- plained later, when he entered the chamber, that he understood many democratic Sen- ators were willing that fence and binding wires should be admitted free of duty. until the paragraph | response to Mr. Jones’ last 4 answer, “except the desire of the vote of the Senator from Nebraska for this bill, that the Senator can give? The reason he gives has nothing to do with it. If the Senator says he believes that as we are now exporting this article it never will be imported, then there is no use in putting a duty on it for revenue, or there ts no use in putting it on the free list; it is entirely immaterial. The Senator does not answer me why it is that he takes all the material of which this wire is made by American manufacturers and puts a duty i 4 and then makes his product free.” aterial is not exported,” answered “while the other ts.” His Language is Plain. “Mr. President, there is no use Keeping @ veil over the faces of Senators or thei? mouths.” Mr. Hoar advanced from his seat into the first row and moved toward the democratic side. “If this thing ts done, it is done to get some vote for this bill, and for no other principle or reason whatever.” “I utterly repudiate that sentiment,” ex- claimed Mr. Jones, hotly. It does not *p- ply to me, and I do not think It applies to anybody on this side of the chamber, and it could not have oricinated with any man who sits on this side.” This brought Mr. Allen to his feet at last , and he tm turn dented the charge of the | ter falsehood. Mr. Jones agreed that these articles are | necessities in the west, but he argued that to undertake to admit fence and binding wires free would result in letting all wires which came into the country escape the duty, for it would be utterly impossible to dis- tingulsh between them. Later he accepted the amended proviso. After a little further discussion between these Senators, Mr. to the aren: plead [cepa th eorcoggen Saad, Stn fF | never had any conversation with Bes ie duty on wires, which, he said, is the cause of a large and important industry in his state. “The Senator speaks of a wire mill in Massachusetts,” said Mr. Jones, “that would, perhaps, prefer to have some tariff on this product. He loses sight, as is the habit of his party, of the millions of people in the west to whom this article is an ab- solute necessity.” Mr. Hoar tried to get Mr. Jones to say that he would vote to put all necessaries of life on the free list, but the democratic manager said he could nut do so under the circumstances. “If I will bring enough votes from the re- publican side of the chamber,” suggested Mr. Hoar, “to make any necei of life free, will the Senator join us?” Mr. Hoar’s Catechism, Even ,this alluring proposition did not tempt Mr. Jones, for he said that he could Pot do so, as it was necessary to raise reve- | nue. “Why do you propose,” asked Mr. Hoar, “to exempt this article from a tax to raise revenue?” “Because it is a necessity and is needed all over the great west and by millions of mel Will you include all other things,” per- sisted Mr. Hoar, “that are necessary and | needed all over the great west?” “Not all; some of them I will, Jones’ qualified answer. Mr. Hoar turned his attention after this to Senator Allen, and succeeded in a very few moments in raising such a storm as has not beer seen before in the Senate for many a day. He practically accused the populist from Nebraska of trading his vote on the tariff bill for value received in the form of amendments. “Is there any other reason,” he asked in was Mr. Massachusetts Senator. “I desire to say.” he exclaimed, “in re- gard to the statement of the Senator from Massachusetts that this concession is mate for the purpose of getting votes on this bill, that, so far as I am concerned, ft is an ut- I have never been asked by any Senator on this side of the chamber to vote for this bill. I have never announced to any Senator on either site how I intended to vote, and I think probably the first time the Senator from Massachusetts will kno’ the position I take on the measure will De when I announce my vote myself. That vote ts controlled by no man on the face of the earth but by myself. I have asked for no concession; and no concession has been made to me. I did not even consult Senator from Arkansas on the subject. my life except that which transpired here within the last ten minutes. I ask the Ben- ator from Arkansas if that is not true” Senator Stewart's Opinion. “That is true, literally,” declared Mx Jones in answer. “That is all there is to the statement of the fenator from Massachusetts,” said Mr. Allen, as he resumed his seat. “His state- ment is entirely gratuitous on his part 80 This ended the incident, but ft brought Mr. Stewart to the floor for the first time if several days. He suggested that Mr. Jones | tar as it may apply to me.” was too sensitive when he defended himself against the charge that he is so the bill as to get votes. Senator Hoar ne He did not think ry serious. “I do .” he concluded. Af- ter this the discussion of the bill went along without difficulty, and, at 6 o'clock, after seven pages had been passed during the day, discussion at the time of adjournment wat No. 143, relating to firearms. ++ Wool Growers Want Protection.
