a ae — 1 a as the date on e repeal o' ¢ sugar boun’ should go into effect. 2a ‘The Votes in Detail. A good deal of interest marked the prog- ress of the roll call, but there was no party break, and the amendment was carried, 88 —31, as follows: Yeas—Allen, Berry, Biack- burn, Blanchard, Butler, Caffery,Call, Cam- \ den, Cockrell, Coke, Faulkner, George, Gib- son, Gray, Harris, Hunton, Jarvis, Jones of Arkansas, Kyle, Lindsay, McLaurin, Mc- Pherson, Martin, Mills, Mitchell of Wis- congin, Morgan, Murphy, Palmer, Pasco, Pugh, Ransom, Roach, Smith, Turple, Vest, Voorhees, Walsh, White—38. Nays—Aldrich, Allison, Cameron, Casey, Chandler, Cullom, Davis, Dolph, Dubois, ’ Frye, Gallinger, Hale, Hansbrough, Hawley, Higgins, Hoar, Lodge. McMillan, Mander- son, Morrill, Patton, Peffer, Perkins, Petti- grew, Platt, Power, Quay, Sherman, Shoup, Teller, Washburn—3l. Pairs—Bate and Proctor, Daniel and Squire, Gordon and Wilson, Gorman and Jones (Nev.), Brice and Woicott, Vilas and Mitchell (Ore.), Irby and Dixon. Hill and Stewart did not vote, nor were they paired.- Mr. Manderson then offered his amend- ment to continue in force the two-cent bounty provision in the McKinley law. It also was defeated, 32—40, without a party break, the populists Allen and Kyle vot- ing with the democrats against and Peffer with the republicans in favor of it Mr. Manderson then offered an amendment on the line of the original provision of the House bill to continue the bounty for ten years, beginning July 1, 1805, reducing it ~eene-tenth each year until 1905, when it Bhould cease entirely. This amendment received the support of three populists, Allen, Kyle and Peffer, but it was defeated, 34-37. Mr. Manderson then offered an amend- ment to continue the bounty provision of the McKinley law in force, but restricting the payment of the bounty to the producers of beet and sorghum sugars. This also had the support of Messrs. Allen, Kyle and Pef- fer, and it met the fate of its predecessors, 61-39. The Nebraska Senator followed this with an amendment to continue the bounty pro- ‘vision of the McKinley law confining it to beet and sorghum sugars, at one instead of two cents per pound untii 1905. Although it received the populistic support, it failed, 24— 27. Mr. Allison then offered an amendment to reduce the sugar bounty for the remain- Ger of the calendar year to eight-tenths cents per pound, and to make the sugar schedule take effect immediately on the passage of the bill. The three populists this time voted with the democrats, and still there was no break fm party lines, and it was defeated, 32—40. The Louisiana Sagar Growers. Mr. Frye asked Mr. Allison whether, if the House agreed to the amendment fixing the @ay on which the repeal bounty shouid go into effect at January 1, 1895, the sugar growers of Louisiana would not get the bounty of two cents for this year, and also the benefit of the duty. . Mr. Allison replied that there was doubt about that. They would get 3 1-2 advance for this year’s crop. “Is not that simply a matter of opinion?” asked Mr. McLaurin. “It is not,” replied Mr. Alison; “it Is sus- weptible of mathematical calculation. “It is as true as that two and two make four.” Mr. McLaurin argued hat {t could be solely a matter of opinion. The Senate then passed to the next paragraph, 182 1-2, fixing the duty on sugar. The Compromise Amendment. Mr. Jones offerei the “compromise” amendment fixing the duty on raw and re- fined sugar at 40 per cent ad valorem, with & differential of one-eighth of one cent on sugars above 16 Dutch standard, and cn additional one-tenth on sugars imported from countries yiving an export bounty, continuing the Hawaiian treaty in force and imposing a duty of 2 cents a gailon on molasses. He offered an amendment to Strike out molasses testing below 40 de- gress by the polariscope. THE HOUSE. ‘When the House met today two unsuccess- ful attempts were made to secure considera- tion of private bills. Mr. Catchings, from the committee on Tules, then brought in a resolution pro- viding that the previous question shall be considered adopted at 5 o'clock today, on the Brawley bill, the rest of the day to be devoted to debate under the five-minute rule. And that on tomorrow, after the call of committees for reports, the vote be taken on the same bill until disposed of. Mr. Reed said he desired to call the atten- tion of the House to the frequency with Which the machinery of the committee on rules was invoked for the purpose of clos- ing debate, as It seemed that a majority of 100 was inadequate for controlling the busi- ness of the House. Mr. Catchings defended the custom of calling upon the committee on rules to shut off debate. For himself, he very much re- gretted that the bill would probably be de- feated. Mr. Dingley Gfe.) regretted that debate was to be shut off so summarily, for the question was most important. Only five members of the minority had been recog- nized. He believed that ‘sumething would soon be done to provide a more elastic bank currency to provide for the wants of the People. ‘The demand for the previous question was Pressed, and it was oriered on division by @ vote of %& to 71, and the resolution was to, For Total Repeal. Mr. Cox then offered his amendment, pro- viding for the total repeal of the tax on state banks. He reserved his time. Mr. Bowers (Cal.) characterized the bill as a dill to pay a premium to men who had violated the laws. The New York banks like the New York newspapers were trying to run the country. The bill was further debated by Messrs. Boatner (La.), Pehdleton (Tex.), Enloe (Tenn.), Livingston (Ga.), Talbert (S. C.), Cooper (Fla.), democrats, in favor of the bill, and by Messrs. Gannon (Ill), Grow and Adams (Pa.), Lacey (lowa), Woomer (Pa.), Quigg and Ray (N. Y.), republicans, and others in opposition to it. > STILL NEEDED THERE. Capt. Watson Tells of the Restoration at Bluefields. Dispatches hava been received at the Navy Department from Capt. Watson, com- manding the San Francisco, at Bluefields, ennouncing that Clarence, the Mosquito chief, who had been deposed by the Nicara- guars, has been put back, and that it Is necessary to protect him. The conditions are such that, in Capt. Watson's judgment, | & warship must remain at Bluefields. The} British, he says, take the same view of the case and will keep the Magicienne there. It is not quite clear from the dispatch who restored Clarence and who {s to pro- tedt him, but it is assumed that the restora- tioh was brought about peaceably, or, at Jeast, without the direct action of the Brit- | ish naval forces. Clarence was brought back to Bluefields on the British warship, and his protection ashore was guaranteed | by Lecayo, the Nicaraguan commissioner. ‘The foreign element in Bluefields and the citizens generally favored Clarence’s restor- ation, so it is probable the protection of Which he stands in need, according to Capt. Watson, must be required against the Nicaraguans, who at last accounts still maintained an armed force on the bluff, about four miles from the town. The New York has undoubtedly started for home and Is expected to arrive in New | York in a few days. The San Francisco | will start for New York as soon as the| Marblehead reaches Bluefields. The latter | Yessel is expected to start south from New | York tomorrow and should arrive at her| destination about the 18th. She will be fol- lowed in a few days by the Atlanta, now at Philadelphia, which must first go to Nor- folk for ammunition and other supplies.

LATE NEWS BY WIRE Sensation in the New York Police Investigation. GRANGER'S REASON FOR GOING AWAY Says That He Was Threatened With Arrest. THE PROCEEDINGS TODAY NEW YORK, June 5.—In the police in- vestigation today Rev. Mr. Willocks testi- fied that he saw a policeman take money from a Veasy street saloon keeper. Ex-Senator Roesch, who was yesterday accused of taking $100 for protection from @ brothel keeper, demanded the right to go on the stand and Thursday was fixed as a time to hear his defense. Then came a sensation. Gideon Granger, Police Commissioner McClave's former son- in-law, walked into court with the ser- geant-at-arms. He said he ran away be- cause Commissioner McClave and Delancey Nicoll threatened to send him to states prison. In reply to Mr. Goff ‘he said he came to court today in charge of the deputy ser- geant of the committee. Mr. Goff then read letter he had re- ceived from Mr. Nicoll stating that so far as Commissioner McClave was concerned no criminal action would be taken against Granger so long as he was in this state. Granger, in his testimony, dented all the accusations of crimina! conduct made against him by Commissioner. McClave on the witness stand. He said he did not think when McClave threatened him that he would carry it out, but he went away partly because his mother was hysterical over what McClave had said. He knew, however, the power the police commission- ers had. In fact, said the witness, McClave had of- ten said that a police commissioner of this city had more power than the President of the United States. —_——— ‘IN THE DISTURBED REGION. Maryland Strikers Threaten to Close More Mines. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., June 5.—A large number of strikers, from points as yet un- known, assembled at Eckhart mines this morning and prevented the men from going to work. These strangers, together with the local strikers, are encamped near the mines, and claim that they will have Hoff- man and Alleganey mines closed down to- morrow morning. These two are the only mines now working in this region. Sheriff King telegraphed Gov. Brown for troops and the governor ordered the fourth and fifth regiments in readiness to leave Baltimore on a special train for Cumber- land tonight. Late réports from the region state that the alr is heavy with impending trouble, but the presence of a goodly show of arms will no doubt have a quieting and whole- some effect upon the strikers. The many strikers who have been en- joined by injunctions are keeping very quiet themselves, but the presence of so many strange strikers shows that these men are making desperate efforts to get all the men out. Sheriff King swore in another large batch of deputies today, and is now at the scene of trouble. Troops Ordered Out in Ilinois. SPRINGFIELD, Ils., June 5.--The gover- nor this afternoon ordered troops sent to Cartersville at once. Excitement Not Yet Allayed. COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, June 5.— Many of the Cripple Creek mine owners are not disposed to abide by the terms of the agreement made at Denver last night. The excitement here is greater than at any time since the beginning of the trouble. Another train of deputies was sent to Divide today with a gatling gun, which was bought at Chicago. Sheriff Bowers declares he will arrest all strikers who have broken the laws by their action at Bull Hill. It is not expected that the troops will reach Cripple Creek before tomorrow. Violence in Indiana. SULLIVAN, Ind., June 5.—The reported battle of last night at Farmersburg was without foundation. The miners, however, are resorting to violent measures. The coal train captured last night and run out on the Alum Cave brancb- has been wrecked and the coal fired. The track is blocked by burning coal. ae een up with dyna- mite. It is reported that five hundred miners are marching toward Shelburn. The tracks to Alumn Cave being blocked, the troops left Farmersburg today on the march to Alum Cave, leaving a detachment to guard the bridges. nd POISONED BY A WEED. Death of Five Little Boys in a Tarry- towm School. TARRYTOWN, N. Y., June 5.—Doctors Contant, Fleming and Camp were hurriedly summoned last night to the home of the Sisters of Mercy to attend u wholesale case of poisoning that had oceurred in the home yesterday. They found twelve little boys, whose ages ranged from §ve to twelve yeats, in a very critical condition, vomiting and in convulsions, and despite every effort to save them, five died during the night, while but slight hopes are as yet enter- tained for the recovery of the other seven. There is intense excitement over the mat- ter in the town, although every one feels that the sisters are not to blame. Coroner Apgar of Peekskill took charge of the investigation and impanneled a jury this morning, and has ordered an autopsy in expose. . From all that can be learned so far the little fellows, while at play in the grounds yesterday afternoon, were shown an herb by one of their number, which they par- took of freely, and from the effects of which, it is supposed, they died. The names of the dead are: James For- restal,ten years old; John Callahan,aged ten years and five days; Thomas Cassmore, aged ten years and three months; Augustus Powers, aged twelve years; John Donnelly, aged twelve years. The coroner’s jury rendered a verdict that the boys died of paralysis of the heart, caused by eating a poisonous weed. — Railroads That Have Ne Coal. TOLEDO, Ohio, June 5.—The Ohio Cen-|* tral railroad discontinued its entire freight service today from lack of fuel, and within three days will have to stop passenger traffic, if no coal can be had.

NEW YORK, June 5.—The supreme lodge, Shield of Honor, convened in its seventeenth annual session today.

OMAHA, Neb., June 5.—A new road is pro- Jected from Sioux City, south through Ne- braska to Omaha, under the title of Eastern Nebraska and Guif. It is generally con- ceded in Omaha that the scheme is being backed by the Great Northern and Illinois Central, jointly, as both roads have been figuring upon getting into Omaha. NOT A MURDER. A Colored Woman Defends Herself With a Hatchet. ‘The police wagon went out from the first Police station in a hurry about 1:30 o'clock this afternoon because of the receipt of a telephone message conveying the news that @ murder had been committed in alley in rear of 13th street northwest between H and I streets, but when the officers arrived upon the scene they found that Dolly Adams, a colored servant in the house of Mr. Crawshaw, 824 12th street, had cut a negro named Heury Brooks on the head with a hatcuet. Brooks worked at odd jubs about the stable, and this afternoon ‘Jolly was clean- ing che yard. Moses Wilscn, her father, an aged man, was in the ya-d whitewashing, and whea Brooks ent: the yard he re- marked to the old man Thy don’t you go on and do your work?” Dolly laughed at him and made him an- gry. He then turned upon her and accused her of being a disreputable person, and sald she was in the work house. This Dolly denied, whereupon Brooks struck her and knocked her down on some broken glass. In doing so he remarked: 'm going to strike you; and Dolly retorted: “If you do I'll strike you back.” She was true to her word, for as soon as she got on her feet she dealt him a blow on the back of the head with the hatchet and knocked him down. Ali this time old man Wilson remained quiet in the stable, and Brooks made a savage attack on him with a pitchfork. He attempted to injure the old man with the fork, but his (Brooks") wife had reached the scene and she pre- vented serious injury to Wilson. She took her husband in the louse and kept him there until the police arrived, when he was taken to the Emergetcy Hospital. There it was found that the wound was not dan- gerous. Judge Miller will settle the affair tomorrow. —e—— COURT OF APPEALS, Decisions Rendered in Several Cases of Interest. The Court of Appeals, in handing down @ number of opinions yesterday afternoon, decided several interesting matters. In the cases of Caleb Snoshall and wife against the Metropolitan Railroad Company, in which the plaintiffs were awarded $1,500 because of injuries sustained by Mrs. Snoshall, the court held that when a ratl- road company invited passengers to ride upon a crowed platform, no room inside to be had, by stopping a car that they might get aboard, the company could not plead contributory negligence on the part of the passengers where injuries followed. The court therefore affirmed the judgment be- low. In the case of Thos. Hines against the Georgetown Gaslight Company the court held that every employer whose servants | were engaged in a dangerous work was | bound to exercise due and necessary care to | protect them from all Injury. Hines, an em- | ploye of the company, was partially asphyx- jated by gas escaping into a tunnel in which he was working, the company having neglected to first cut off the gas. ‘The court, in the case of Joseph HK. Burch egainst the Baltimore and Potomac Rail- Toad Company, held that railroad tickets | expiring by limitation could not be used. Mr. Burch, in May, 18¥0, attempted to use an expired round-trip ticket from Landover, M4., to this city. He was put off the train, and suffered illness, resulting from exposure to a storm. Such a ticket. the court held, was invalid, and the conductor was right in ejecting from the train. The court de- clared, however, that while such passengers could be lawfully put off between stations. they must be carefully and orderly ejected. The court, therefore, affirmed the judgment of the lower court, which sustained the rail- Foad. —_—__—_ “™ EXPECTS AN INDICTMENT. District Attorney Birney Talks About the Contumacious Correspondents. District Attorney Birney stated to a Star Teporter this afternoon that he had not yet brought the attention of the grand jury to the alleged contumacious witnesses before the Senate investigating committee, John 8. Shriver and E. Jay Edwards. He was awaiting additional papers from the Senate, he said, and expected to receive them this ‘afternoon. If he obtained them in time, he would present the case to the grand jury at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. Mr. Birney stated that, probably not more than two or three witrfesses would testify before the grand jury. and thought that an indictment would shortly be authorized. Bream aah THE AINSWORTH CASE. Motion to Discuss Mr. Birney’s Appeal to Be Argued Thursday. Today, in the Court of Appeals, Mr. J. N. Morrison, representing Col. Fred. C. Ains- worth, moved the court to dismiss the ap- peal noted by District Attorney Birney to the judgment of Judge McComas, in sus- taining the demurrer to the indictment re- turned against Col. Ainsworth. District Attorney Birney stated to the court that he was not prepared to argue the question, which involves the right of the United States to an appeal in a crim- inal case. The court, therefore, set the mat- ter down for a hearing on Thursday next. ————.—_—_— THE VOTE ON SUGAR. It Was the Absorbing Question at the Capitol Today. The vote upon the sugar schedule was the abrorbing question of the dey at the Capitol. Before any vote was taken it was generally conceded by the republicans that the committee would be sustained, though the vote would be close. The readiness with which the republicans yielded yesterday to an agreement that a vote on that schedule might be reached to- day is accepted generally as an indication that the speed with which the bill is dis- posed of depends almost solely now on the vigor with which the democrats press for action. If the republicans could have done what Aldrich and some cthers wanted, leaving the democrats to furnish their own quorum {€ they insisted upon nlgat sessions, they would rot have yielded so readily to a vote on sugar today. . It was too evident, however, that a num- ber of republicans would help keep a quo- rum no matter how late the sessions lasted, and it would have been ugeless and impoliic for a fragment of the party to make the fight. The same situation is expected to devel- op as each of the remaining schedules is reached, but on this schedule the repub- licans are stronger than on any of the others. There is no particular significance in the reservation of the right to have the yeas and nays on the sugar amendment at the close of the fight on the bill. It merely gives another chance to test the sentiment of the Senate on the question at the last minute, in case anything shall have been developed meanwhile to weaken’ sugar. 2. CAPITOL TOPICS. Jenkins Report Indorsed. The judiciary committee of the House to- day voted to indorse the report heretofore made by a subcommittee which investigated Judge Jenkins’ anti-strike injunctions. Watson vs. Black. "The House elections committee today de- cided the contested election case of Watson vs. Black, from the tenth Georgia district, in favor of Mr. Black, the contestee. There were no votes in opposition to this action, but Mr. McCall of Massachusetts, not hav- ing carefuly examined the case, reserved the right to change his vote. _A Promotion.

MAKING IT INTERESTING Mr, Reed Has Some Amusement With the Opposition. Mr. Catchings Attempts to Reply, but the Man From Maine Retorts as Usual. Mr. Reed of Maine took an active part in the proceedings of the House this morn- ing for a few minutes and in a very short space of time succeeded, as usual, in mak- ing it very interesting for the opposition. ¥or days at a time Mr. Reed's voice is not heard in the debates and arguments in the Hicuse, and then some days he swoops down without warning, with a quiver full of oratorical shafts, which he discharges into the ranks of his political opponents. ‘This morning he twanged a few arrows at the democratic bull's-eye, and apparently every one of them struck. The occasion was Produced by Mr, Catchings reporting @ rule from the committee on rules providing for a vote on the bank tax bill and amend- ments tomorrow. ‘The previous question ‘was ordered and then Mr. Reed arose. Repudiating Their Platform. “I desire,to call the attention of the House,” he said, “to the frequent use of this method of closing debate, so different from the ancient customs which we used to admire and revere, they having been fotnd entirely inadequate to a House with a hundred majority. 1 do not know whether to regard this as gratifying or not. It is so from one point of view and rather sad- dening from another. “But I am glad to see the anxiety on the part of the democratic party to come to a speedy opportunity to repudiate another portion of their platform, ani I hope they will go on and finish, for if there ever was a platform to be carefully avoided and to be stigmatized in the house of its friends it wus the platform on which the demo- erats thought they were elected to power in this country.” Mr. Catchings Reply. Then Mr. Catching, in reply, proceeded to a defense cf a more elastic and satisfac- tory currency, which must come, ke said, from sume sort of banking institution. At the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Reed arose again. “I am glad that the gentleman agrees with me,” he said, “that this plank of the democratic cabin Pp to be repudiated. That is all I suggested.” “I could not’ have denied what would probably be demonstrated by the vote of the House,” answered Mr. Catchings, “but I have accompanied my statement with an expression of regret that it should be so. “That is about all that a democrat can do now with his platform,” said Mr. Reed, “regret its abolishment.” “I cannot enter into an encounter of wit of that kind, Mr. Speaker,” rejoined Mr. Catchings. “It is not up to the usual level.” “The gentleman is badly situated for such an encounter,” replied Mr. Reed. The resolution was agreed to further debate. ‘after some . ————————— THE NICARAGUA CANAL, Argume in Its Favor Presented He- fore the House Committee. At a special meeting of the House com- mittee on interstate and foreign commerce, held this morning, Alex. D. Anderson made ‘a commercial argument in support of the resolutions recently adopted by the nation- al board of trade indorsing the Nicaragua ship canal. The argument was illustrated with dia- grams showing that the foreign commerce of the United States is one sided, as &3 1-2 per cent of the domestic exports go east- ward to Europe, 9 per cent southward to the American republics, 4 per cent north- ward to British America, and only 31-2 per cent westward to the various foreign nations surrounding the Pacific ocean, and it was explained how this weak spot in the westward trade may be cured by opening up a waterway across the Isthmus. Chief Engineer Menocai made an explanation of the engineering features of the canal. ——_+—2= Today’s Cabinet Meeting.

Waite Succeeds in Ending the Labor Troubl DENVER, Col., June 5.—The strike at Cripple Creek was settled at a late hour last night. A conference began at 8 o'clock, and at it Gov. Waite announced that he Was authorized to act for the miners. Only one point caused serious complica- tion—the allowance of lunch time,the miners demanding thirty minutes. The articles of agreement as adopted provide that the miners shall work eight hours a day, with twenty minutes for luncheon; that they be paid at the rate of $3 a day, and that the mine owners shall not discriminate against either union or non-union men, After the conference the governor issued @ proclamation calling on the men to lay down their arms.

C., June 5.—The Frazer river ts still rising. Vancouver is about shut off from the rest of the world ex- cept by steamer. All telegraph wires are | down east and the Canadian Pacific rail- road has stopped selling tickets, all trains being canceled. Yesterday passengers were brought’ down by steamer from Yale to Westminster, thence by electric cars to Vancouver. Saturday and Sunday all tele- graph wires were down. At Westminster the water is over the floors of buildings and wharves and ail the mills along the water front have been shut down for the last week. Many houses and cabins in the lower portion of the town are now floating. A report reached here this mornirig that the dyke at Lululand has give way, but it has not been confirmed. if that be true the best agricultural district in the whole Frazer valley will be flooded. Reports from upper rivers state the water is still rising rapidly and on June 1 temper- ature at Quensie was 115 in the shade, tne water rising four inches an hour. At Yale the water is one foot eight inches above the 18SZ mark, and still rising. ‘he large railway building at Mission is still intact, but it is expected to go shortly ow- ing to the height of the water and quanti- ty of driftwood. ‘There have been only two deaths from the flood in this district so far as known, Saturday's train had a narrow escape at Nicola bridge, the last car being barely off the bridge when it went down. At North Bend a Chinaman was drowned. It is stated that if the water subsides rapidly there is @ possibility of saving the timothy crop, while barley and oats can also be sown. Still it is impossible to estimate the loss, but it will be enormous. —_—— Patents to District Inventors, Patents were granted today to Washing- ton inventors as follows: William F, Gard- ner, time ball; Thomas D.

TRENTON, June 5.—The supreme court this morning refused the application made at the last term of court by Mary Phill- brooke of Hoboken, for admission to ex- amination as an attorney-at-law. The court decided it had no authority to admit women to practice law in this state. ADVOCATES OF WOOL. ‘They Were Not Ejected From Marble Room, as Stated. A statement was published today in the Philadelphia and New York papers to the effect that two representatives of the Wool Growers’ Association were yesterday ejected from the marble room of the Senate, where they had been showing samples of Ameri- can wool and urging a duty of five cents & pound. upon that staple. The facts of the case are as follows: Mr. Theodore Justin of Philadelphia some days ago telegraphed Senator Sherman, asking for his interces- sion to obtain an interview with Senator Brice on the subject of the wool industry. Mr. Brice readily consente1 to an inter- view, and at his invitation Mr. Justin and Gen. Ransom of New York came to the Senate yesterday afternoon. They saw Mr. Lrice in the marble room, exhtbited thelr samples of wool and wool clip and a tabular sheet showing the fluctuations of the market, Mr. Rrice instructed a deputy sergeant- at-arms to assist the delegates in their de- sire tu interview the Senators from the wool-producing states. Half a dozen or moré Senators responded to their call, they remaining throughout this time in the the marble room. It is customary on crdinary occasions for visitorr calling upon Senators to leave the room after each interview and secure admission a second time by means of card. But at the suggestion of Mr. Brice this was not done yesterday, and Messrs. Ran- som and Justin were permitted to stay in the room while their cards were being taken to the Senators. They wete not eject- ed from the room, nor did they leave until they had accomplished” their ‘mission of presenting their arguments to certain Sen- ators whom they desired to see. - It is stated, however, that Senator Voor- hees was approached by Gen, sooweer | who showed him the samples, and proceed: to argue for the 5-cent duty. The Senator was irritated at the endeavor of the dele- gate to impress him with his and finally told him, it is said, with some show of temper, that the visitors had no right in the marble room with their sampies. He said he would see that they were put outy and, it is alleged, called a deputy sergeant- at-arms, who explained the situation to the Senator.

GREAT ADVANTAGE 10 THE TRUST No Important Changes in the Reg- ular List. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS —neincenitipratondaie® Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, June 5.—Today's market opened strong at fractional gains through- out the list. Sugar was the center of at- traction, and opened strong at a gain of 1 3-8 per cent over yesterday's final figures. After a further gain of 1 per cent, to i06, at which price the stock was given excellent support, the advance was suddenly stayed to awalt the Senate's action on the sched- ule. The buying during the morning was by brokers identified with every rise of re- cent date, and is belleved to have been for inside interests. As usual, the trading was conducted on a most liberal scale, large amounts being quickly absorbed by the inaugurators of the advance. A rise of 7-8 per cent from previous high figures followed the announcement that the Senate had agreed upon January 1, 1895, as the date on which the schedule should become operative. This is a decided advantage to the trust, as it gives it the privilege of importing raw sugar for six months under the provisions ag existing tariff bill. m this clouse alone, as has been Fointed out in the several speeches made against the adoption of the schedule, the company will derive an enormous profit. If the figures representing the present earning capacity of this corporation be true, as reported by those Senators to the adoption of the schedule, the present market price of the stock is a very unfair estimate of its intrinsic Chicago Gas sold down 1 cent on continued realizing sales to 74.

In the regular list there were no impor- tant changes. Nashville sold down 5-4 per cent, and Rock Island lost 1-2, but changes elsewhere were represented by smaller fractions, Northern Pacific reports a de- crease of $411,809 in earnings for last month. These weekly reports have ceased to attract the attention of traders, and few operations cre at present based on items of this character, which, in a broader and more active market, would be reflected in the price of the stock several days before | publication. Decreases are expected for some time to come, but there is the encour- aging assurence that the amounts will grow steadily smaller. There were no noteworthy features in to- day's market, for foreign exchange rates were steady and the volume of business Nght. The supply of bills is light, but is off- get to some extent by a decreased inquiry from remitters. Gold will go abroad during the balance of the week, but present indi- cations are not favorable to large amounts. The discussion of the sugar schedule un- der the ten-minute rule deprived — tion of a valuable incentive during the last hour of business. Advantage was taken of the delay to force the price of sugar certificates down to 104 3-4. The decline was cnly momen- tary, however, as buyers were. soon ai tracted by the lower figures. Trading railway shares during this period was dull and unimportant. Prices at the close were irregular within a narrow radius of first figures. saab tesiechadl FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
