There was no meeting today of the com- mittee investigating allegations of sugar trust influence on the action of the tariff schedule of Senators. Some of the members of the committee were at the committee room and at work on the consideration of the points in the case and of precedents in parallel cases. The consideration was, however, entirely informal and Senator Gray, who is intrusted with the giving to the press of so much of the proceedings as is considered proper, sald the committee considered itself entitled to a holiday and was not in session.

Martial Machine. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS PARIS, May 30.—The most conflicting re- ports are in circulation in regard to the invention which M. Turpin, the inventor of melinite, is said to have sold for 5,000,000 francs to Germany. The invention is de- scribed as being calculated to entirely change the system of warfare and the re- port of its sale, true or untrue, has caused @ sensation in military and diplomatic circles. One report describes the new engine of warfare as consisting of a mitrailleuse shell adapted to a new description of gun, having automatic means of transport, and which can be turned in any direction, while rapidly discharging 20,000 shots over 2,000 sqvare meters of ground. ‘The Turpin mi- trailleuse 1s said to be loaded automati- cally by an electric motor and the shell is described as emitting stifling flames v. hen it has been fired. Emperor William is said to have bestowed upon the French inventor the title of chief engineer of armaments. ~ Un:the other hand it is reported that ne- gotiations for the sale of the new mitrail- leuse to Germany have not been com- pleted and it also said that Turpin him- self had caused the circulation of the re- ports in regard to the sale of his new in- vention to Germany in order to create a scare which will compel the French gov- ernment to purchase his invention at a very high price. Anotger rumor has it that Turpin, who, some time ago, was sentenced to imprison- ment for having sold to the Armstrong gun-making firm of England certain se- crets in regard to the manufacture of ex- plosives and weapons of war, has sold his new invention to England. As u’matter of fact very little appears; to be actually known about the matter and some time may elapse before the exact na- ture of Turpin’s invention is known, and it may, after all, pass into the possession of the French government. ‘Turpin is reported as having written to a friend: “I am going to sell my tnyention to Germany. In eight months you will have ‘war und in ten months there will no longer be any France.” CONTROL OF SAMOA. How the Qu the fon Regarded 1 South Sea MELBOURNE, May 30.—The parliament of Victorta opened today. The governor and commander-in-chief, the Earl of Hopetoun, in his address said that he was gratified at the fact that the year’s agricultural exports had exceeded the record. He also sald that he was rejoiced that the approaching colo- nial conference at Ottawa would consider not only the trade relations existing be- tween British colonies, but would also dis- cuss the projected Pacific cable, which is destined to unite the Australian colon‘es with Canada. It was desirable, in the opin- fon of the governor, that this cable should be entirely under British control. In regard Samoa, said the Earl of Hopetoun, the supervision of those islands by the colony of New Zealand would be really their supervision by Great Britain, and it was desirable that New Zealand's offer should be accepted, not only on ac- count of its commercial advantages; but, also, because it was consonant with true Australian policy. DUPUY'’S NEW CABINET. The French Ministry Finally Reor- J gnnised. PARIS, May 30.—M. Dupuy has succeeded in finding the last of the ministers neces- sary to complete the new cabinet. M.

May 30.—A dispatch to the Standard from Madrid says: Twenty thous- and persons witnessed the funeral proces- sion of El Espartero, the matador who was killed in the bull-ring on Sunday, as it passed to the railway to take the train for Seville, The balconies, windows and roofs of the houses along the route were packed with people. Many floral offerings and ru- merous félegrams expressing sympathy were recelved by the relatives of the de- ceased. The Ameer W: is to See London. LONDON, May 30.—A dispatch to the Times from Paris says: The Journal Des Debats has received the following dispatch from Merv: The Ameer of Afghanistan has issued a proclamation to his people asking that they consent to his visiting London “for the good of our holy religion and the glory of our great country.” Proposed Belgt: Import Duties. BRUSSELS, May 30.—The government has introduced a bill.in the chamber of deputies proposing an import duty of twenty-five francs per ‘hundred kilos on butter and oleomargarine; two francs per hundred kilos’ on oats; one and a half francs on | sour; ten francs on preserved vegetables; three francs on oat flour, and thirty francs on preserved games and potted meats and poultry. The bill imposes various duties on textiles. Capt. Castilho Held Responsible. LONDON, May 30.—A dispatch to the Times from Lisbon says: Captain Teves of the cruiser Albuquerque, who was also called home from South America in con- nection with the escape of the Brazilian in- surgents, has been allowed his liberty. Captain Castilho has been held responsible for the refugees’ escape. Captain Castilho | has written to the papers declaring that President Peixoto of Brazil assented to his giving an asylum to the insurgents when | he explained his intention to him on March | 11. He also says that on the following day | the Brazilian minister of marine said to} him that the concession of an asylum was | a sacred duty, which Captain’ Castilho had a perfect right to perform.

Wreathes on the Peace Monument—An Undelivered Speech—There Were No Disturbances—Galvin’s Men. The Peace monument was decorated with wild flowers and branches of spring green by Coxey’s army of the commonweal of Christ and Galvin’s industrial army of the United States. The flowers were gathered in the woods of Maryland or plucked by the wayside without the city limits. The army left camp at Hyattsville at about 7:30 this morning, struck into Maryland avenue, thence to E street, to Ist street west, to Peace monument, around this, and return to camp via the same route. No halt was made, no man left the ranks, no disorderly conduct of any kind was noted. It was the intention of the industrials to have halted long enough for a speech, and this was the understanding with the authorities. The speech-making would have been permitted. The orator of the occasion was to have been Mr. George E. Ward ef the Galvin contin- gent, but upon his arrival at the monument he asked of a metropolitan private whether the speaking would be permitted and was answered negatively. This was a mistake. Mr, Ward was introduced to Capt. Austin by The Star reporter, and the captain in- formed Mr. Ward that not the slightest ob- jeetion would have been made by the police. Mr. Ward had his manuscript in his hand, and Capt. Austin did not seem disinclined to allow its delivery then, but Mr. Ward con- cluded that the proper ‘time had passed and did not urge his desire to orate. ‘The procession was expected to reach the monument at 10 o'clock, but was half an hour late. At a few minutes to 10 the police reserves from the second, fifth, ninth and sixth precincts, In all, about forty men, came up. Capt. Austin was the ranking officer, Lieut. Kelly, second, and then Sergt. Falvey and Sergt. Byrnes, A fairly large crowd collected at that point on the avenue, and Col. Redstone was kept bu: in supplying applicants for commonweal badges. The committe of ladies which had been hurriedly organized to ald the in- dustrials in flowering the marble were on id, too, ‘The distant throbbing of sheep- skin was the signal of the approach of the column. The ofticers formed a cardon around the monument, with marching space between themselves and the shaft. Capt. Austin took his stand nearest to the head of the approaching men. Both Capt. Austin Sergt. Falvey, who was at his side, and all the men, seemed creditably ‘There was no loud talking, the crowd was orderly, and everything was gentle as a summer day. The Marchers. The monument had been previously dec- orated by the Grand Army, and with the exception of the crowning figures was com- pletely veiled in bunting. The marching column was headed with a platoon of mounted police, and after this came a feeble colored drum and fife corps, leading a con- tingent of colored wealers, which had joined the procession this side of camp. Two standard bearers, who were pointed out to The Star man as veterans of Massil- lon, stepped as though proud of the en- signs which they carried. Oklahoma Sam, mounted on his bay steed, was in front, and from him came the necessary orders. Close to him was Jesse Coxey. Nextwas Miss Lavallette of the Philadelphia contingent dressed in spotless white, mounted on a cream colored horse, wearing a white cap and a bouquet of flowers. Stuck in the headstall of her bridle was a red, white and blue paper plume, and marching at the horse’s bit was a stalwart, tattesed com- monwealer. Next in order was the familiar Coxey phaeton, with Mrs. Coxey and Legal Tender,driven by a wealer. The band of the commonweal was playing gayly, and the crowd around the monument several times broke out into enthusiastic cheers, to which the army responded with vim and in ac- knowledgment of which Miss Lavallette and Mrs. Coxey bowed. Several enthu- sigsts rushed into the line and presented Mrs. Coxey with bouquets, and bunches of wild daisies were given to Miss Lavallette. Every man of the wealers wore a but- tonier made of laurel, pine bough, cedar branch, or come other wild blossom from the woods and fields of Maryland, As the army circled around the monument, great Wreaths were thrown from tha ‘ranks, ceught by the ladies’ decoration committec and put in position. Bringing up the rear ef the column were Galvin’s men, 20 strong, who reached camp last night. At their head was Galvin, well mounted, and riding in good style. He is a commanding looking man, and his appearance evoked cheers. Carl Browne's panorama wagon was mm the procession, bearing the legend, “Help Coxey, Help the Commonweal by Cohtribu- tions.’ a An Undelivered Speech. As the last of the line turned their backs to the point of interest the poiice dis- persed, and one of the ladies of the decora- tion committee made an impromptu speech on the subject of “Arbitration,” and Col. Redstone made a few remarks. One tall, red-whiskered, sun-burned man, with a strong, intelligent face, was holding Some manuscript in his hand and declaring that he wanted to make a speech, but that the police would not permit him. ' ‘The Star man told him that he was wrong, that the police were disappointed that no ‘eloquence had been shed on the occasion. The gentle- man was Mr. George E. Ward, lecturer and speaker for Galvin's industrial army. His manuscript read: ‘‘To the Congress and the President of The United States, Yes, and to the Judiciary as well, Greeting: “On this national holiday and commem- oration of the suffering and death of those who risked and gave up their lives to pre- serve us a nation, take off the blot from the Constitution, and the statutes, a stain off Old Glory, and keep her afloat in the hea- vens.”” Then the undelivered speech set forth the Wrongs to which the masses of the country had been compelled to submit, and pointed out the path to the salvation of the land. | It was an able paper from the industrial standpoint. The Star man and Mr. Ward had a long talk. ‘he pricipal thing brought out by the conference was the ridicule which the Galvin men heap upon the re- incarnation “business” of Mr. Coxey. Mr. Ward told the reporter that it was the He did not want weak point in Coxeyism. the public to think that t gent indorsed any suc! upon human intellige! So far as Mr. Coxey went with his economic plan, the industrials were with him, but neither Gal- vin nor Frye nor any of the great industrial leaders had any sympathy with this rein- carnated “rot,” and Mr, Ward became en- thusiastic. Capt. Austin and Sergt. Falbey, in talk- ing with The Star man, said that no trouble had been anticipated, and that matters had passed off as pleasantly as anybody could have desired. Galvin’s Contingent. ‘The commonweal of Christ was reinforced at Highlands yesterday by the so-called industrials who have been tramping from the west tor the vast two fnonths under the leadership of “Gen.” Galvin. There are about 130 men in the new contingent, and they were met yesterday near College sta- tion by Oklahoma Sam and a number of Coxeyites, and escorted to the camp on the Stegmater place, with much gusto. The new comers hed not eaten anythifig since early in the morning, and when they reac! ed the camp they found only dry bread and water with which to break their iong fast, as the commissary of the commonweai had again been stripped of all its other com- modities. The Gaivinites were as tired as they were hungry, however, and while.some of them took time-to knock boards end planks together in some resemblance to shelters, others displayed their western knowledge in making wickiups by draw- ing the tops of bushés together and tying tops, throwing their blanket cver them and crawling under the covering thus made. eee Given a Benefit. Mrs, M. A. Watson was given a benefit on Tuesday eveninz at Typographical Hall by the pupils of the National Academy of Oratory, assisiel by other prominent local talent. Miss May H. Meade gave a piano solo, followed with a recitation by Miss Ethel Camp. Mr. MF. O'Donoghue re- cited “Parhasius’ and Mrs. E. L. Berry sang “Call Me Back.” Messrs. Soran, Mason, Stevens and Thomas of the Choral Society rendered a fine selection. A song by Mr. Geo. H. O'Connor and banjo selec- tions by Mr. Joseph Cullen were encored, The “Quarrel Scene” from Julius Caesar was given by Mr. M. F. O'Donoghue and Mr. Wm. Hunt. The dramatic class, under the direction of Mrs. M. A. Watson, gave “The Obstinate Family.” The evening closed with a dance. District National Guard Does Valiant Service Against Ghosts. CLEARING STRERTS OF — RIOTERS An Example of What Would Hap- pen in Case of Need. CREDITABLE WORK Denizens of the United States intent on behaving riotously in the District of Colum- bia had today an admirable opportunity to see how the District National Guard pro- poses to deal with a violent mob, if such an aggregation should ever seek to disturb the peace of the national capital. Among the many recently developed features of modern military activity the most conspicuous is the street-riot drill, and it was to exercise the brigade in that practical sort of maneuver- ing that Gen. Ordway marched the local soldiery back from the Aqueduct bridge, to which somewhat ricketty structure the troops had escorted the veterans who went over to Arlington to participate in the Memorial day services. There was a de- cidedly business-like air about the long column of fours as it moved toward the secene of suppositious action. Men, uni- forms and arms and equipments looked fit for service and were entirely without that amateurish unsteadiness which the critic al- ways expects a certain percentage of in volunteer ranks. All music ceased somewhere in the vicin- ity of 22d street, the musicians were dis- missed, and then for a few minutes regi- mental and battalion adjutants hustled around in their liveliest fashion seeing that everything was ready for the one-sided fray. The first regiment, commanded by Lieut. Col. Walton; marched along K treet until its lett had cleared 22d street, and then the three battalions separated, formed into bat- talion squares, with sharpshooters on the front flanks, and proceeded to do business. At 19th street the second battalion, under Maj. R. A. O'Brien, went northward in double time so far as L street, and then turned east; its sharpshooters continually potting away at the enemy that was not there, while the front of the square fired volleys at the retreating foe. The first bat- talion, which was consolidated with the third battalion, commanded by Maj. Burton R. Ross, halted at 17th street, detached its flank and rear sharpshooters, fired three volleys to the front, and ‘then turned the sharpshooters loose for the pur- pose of having them clear the lurking mis- creants out of Farragut Square. This the “sharps” did not succeed in doing, so a Gatling gun, with Lieut. Robbins in com- Dispersing the Mob. mand, was unlimbered and brought to the front with praiseworthy alacrity. This deadly instrument, with the assistance of the sharpshooters, did the business, and then, with unanimity that fairly well timed, the three battalions de a final rush along K and to 16th, completely routing the mob that had so persistently endeavored to block the traffic along thore thoroughfares. The Second Regiment. While all this was going on the second regiment was busy, too. Col. Clay kept his men right at it until there was no longer any question as to which side was victori- ous. Formed in battalion street squares the second moved eastward on I street, losing the fifth battalion, commanded by Maj. Otto L. Suess, at 20th street, on which the veterans and sons of veterans moved to G street and thence east. Sharp- shcoting was continuous, volleys were fre- quent, just as they were on H street, where Major Geo, A. Bartlett had, by the way of 19th street, led his eager command. Stmul- taneously the fifth and sixth charged to 17th street. The fourth battalion, under Major E. R. Campbell, occupied I street for a while, halted when it reached Connecticut avenue, detached its flank and rear sharp- shooters to co-operate with those of the INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. ACCOUNTANTS ..

UNDERTAKERS: WANTED (lelp). WANTED (Houses)... WANTED (Situations), WANTED (iscellancous) der Capt. H. G. Forsberg; troop A, led by Lieut. John M. Etker, and the ambulance corps, with Lieut. Watson in charge. Form- ing at G and 22d streets, Col. Mosher’s col- umn moved down 22d to F and along F to 19th. Then company A of the engineers—a company of sharpshooters — skirmished along both sides of F, seeking cover here and there, dodging spectral brickbats and keeping one eye open to possibilities of boll- ing water from upper story windows, while the other optic was watchful as to vicious dogs that might be turned loose by scared householders who didn’t understand why soldiers should crawl under porches or drop into areaways without first giving due no- tice of intention to do so. At ISth street the resistance of the mob was heavy | Geo: enough to halt the sharpshooters, and then The Colored Troona, Was disclosed a ghostly barricede across F at 17th. That was Capt. Forsberg’s oppor- tunity to save the country, and nobly did he respond. The Napoleons were unlimber- ed and were run up by hand, while the en- gineer experts pulled triggers at every head that appeared in front. It didn’t take those arcient Napoleons long to smash the ave- nue cars and the grocery wagons that were supposed to be piled up across the street, and af soon as it was breached the first separate battalion, with a two company front with fours broken from the right and left and with arms at “port,” dashed into the yawning aperture, their advance cov- ered by the sharpshooters. Right behind followed companies B and C of the engi- neers, carrying all manner of tools and a good deal of valuable information as to how military engineers should remove de- bris and thus clear a way for the hitherto inactive troop of cavalry. In column of platoons the blue and yellow fighters gal- loped through the fragments that remained after one of company C's high-explosives professors had succeeded in making tooth- picks of the demolished barricade,and down 17th the trot continued until the White Lot was reached. Several score of fugitive riot- ers were there pursued and captured, and when the last semblance of insurrection had departed the troop jogged back to its armory. The ambulance corps had several simula- tions of wounded men on hand; none of the patients were heard to complain of the treatment given them. Revolver Shots. General staff officers were detailed to watch the various commands do the work The Gatling in Position. first battalion in an effort to clear Farragut square, and then gave Gatling gun No. 2 operated under the direction of Lieut. Grif fiths, a chance to see what it could do. The rush to 16th street was a success, In the meantime the cycle company had not been idle. Capt. Story made it “scorch” up 20th street to Sundertand place, had {t dismount and clear the little street; an operation that was repeated, much to the | delight of small boys and the terror of nursemaids at Jefferson place and De Sales street, after which the company joined the first battalion on K street. The Colonel's Army. But none of the subdivisions of the bri- gade had more to Go or did it better than Troop A at It. did those who were aggregated in what was pleasantly denominated “Col. Mosher’s ar- 80 called because it was commanded Theodore Mosher, the adjutant gen- eral. With a staff that consisted of Capt. Horton and Capt. May, aids on the general staff, Col. Mosher maneuvered the engi- heer battaiton, commanded by Capt. Aver- il; the first separate battalion, with Maj. F. C.

V. Tierney; third battalion, Major George H. Harries; fourth battalion, Major W. Cranch McIn- tre; fifth battalion, Major E. H. Neumeyer; sixth battalion, Capt. Thomas Singleton. The movements of the first battalion were made under Gen. Ordway’s eyes. Col. Mcsher’s “army” reached the day’s high-water mark. Some of the engineer sharpshooters, who simulated injured men, would do well on the stage. At times and in places there was slight interference with movements by crowds of spectators, but the obstacles were not serious. Some of the commands proceeded to their armories in street-squares, When it is remembered that this was the first riot-drill by the brigade the accuracy of movement was really wonderful. The evolutions were witnessed by a large number of army and navy officers, of whom many gave expression to complimentary re- warks, that had every appearance of being | sincere. Attaches of foreign legations alzo | | appeared to be deeply interested in the! novel, yet effective, tactics. Paragraph three, general orders No. 6, | says: “Commanding officers of companies | will furnish their battalion adjutants with | ‘morning reports’ immediately after the | parade is dismissed, noting thereon the names of all officers and men absent from the parade without leave. Commanding of- ficers of regiments, separate battalions and sepurate companies will furnish these head- quarters with consolidated morning re- ports before 9 o'clock a.m. of the Ist prox- imo; will see that all enlisted men absent without leave are properly dealt with, and | of ail commissioned officers so absent.” ——_~—_— Indorsed the Exposition.

A special from Palatka, Fla., says: The people of this section are very much excited over the discovery of a diabolical conspiracy among the negroes to commit @ series of outrages upon white women. A negro preacher, I. T. Burgis, proposed to a number of negroes that they should seize several white women and carry them into the swamp and make them submit to their | embraces. The negroes consented, but the whites secured evidence that such a con- spiracy existed, and they took steps to guard their homes. In the meanwhile the negroes began to leave the country. One of those to leave was Burgis, who went to Georgia, where he was apprehended. An officer returned with the negro, but was suddenly confronted by between seventy-five and one hundred mounted men. Being overpowered, there Was no choice but to give Burgis up, and next morning he was seen hanging from @ limb. The white people are wild with rage, and it is believed that more lynchings will speedily follow. — eee Chief Ramsay Exonerated. The convention of railway telegraphers at Denver, after a ful investigation of the charges against Grand Chief Ramsay, has exorerated him. Carl Smith and F. E. Gilleland of Omaha withdrew the charges made by them, as the witnesses on whom they depended could not be produced. ss The recent house-warming of “he Sisters of Mercy was a decided financial success and of substantial assistance in the cn- deavor to establish a home for young wo- men.
