Nov. 19.—Two events connected with the military and naval situation in regard to Mexico today gave a faint tinge of interest to a day thai was otherwise Anmarked by de- velopmenis. Early in the day General Bliss, com- manding the American troops on the ican border, was authorized to de- nitely the Second cavalry rt Bliss and the Fifth at Forth Huachuca, which were to have come north as soon as they were re- Heved by two regiments recently sent to Texas for that purpose. Senator Sheppard and Representative Henry, | pointing to the danger to which their at El Paso and other points exposed by the reported ap- proach of a large force of federals in- | tent upon revenging themselves upon the troops of General Villa for the cap- ture of Juarez, had urged the war de- partment to keep all four regiments on the border. News that three big British cruisers had been ordered to proceed from West Indian ports to Vera Cruz created some comment in official circles,where it was Tecalled that recent London despatches had indicated that the British govern- would entrust the interests of subjects in Mexico to the United ftates. It was pointed out, however, that the Washington government had | welcomed the appearance of foreign | warships in Mexican waters, and that | the gathering of British.

DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THE INDEPENDENTS. C. A. Eastman Testifies Against Coal- Carrying Railroads. Philadelphia, Nov. 19.—Deciarations that the anthracite coal-carrying roads discriminate against the independents shipping hard coal to the central west in favor of the so-cailed railroad coal companies and that this alleged dis- crimination leads the independents to seek more profitable markets, thus cre- ating an artificial shortage of the fuel in the fall and winter months, were made today at the interstate com- merce commission inquiry into anthra- cite freight rates. These were made by C. A. Fastman of the Hastman- Barber company, which is also inter- ested in coal companies in Indiana. Mr. Eastman testified that the rate on anthracite from the mines to Buffa- lo for shipment to points in Ohio, In- diana, Michigan, certain points in Lli- nois and all lake points is $2 a ton, while the rate from the mines to Chi- cago is $1.75. He further testified that on account of differential in rates on coal going in the same direction, with the same equipment and handled in every respect in the same way, there is a chance for manipulation of about 60 cents per gross ton. “As a shipper in Chicago,” Mr. Eastfian said, “as long as we purchased anthracite coal from what is known as the railroad coal companies, 25 cents a ton was handed back to us when the coal was consigned to points thet take the $2 rate.” FEDERAL CONTROL OF WATER RIGHTS.

New York, Nov. 19.—George H. Mec- Guire of Syracuse, pale and often weak of memory, whispered corroboration of charges made by Joan A, Hennessy against grafting politiclans in a re- lentless three-hour ordeal of exami- nation this afternoon by District At- torney Charles S. Whitman. McGuire was the day’s sole witness in the John Doe inquiry through which Mr. Whit- man is seeking to bare corruption among demgeratic and republican col- lectors of campaign contributions from 300 or more contractors on state barge canal and highway work. Would Not Reveal His Informant. McGuire testified that he had heard forty or more charges of contractors being forced to make contributions to politicians. These he told to Hennessy last October at Utica and Hennessy had written them down as he talked. The memorandum was introduced and McGuire scanned it. but failed to Fe- call some of its contents. Nor would McGuire give the district attorney the nafne of a single person who had told him of the grafting. “How did you learn this?” Mr. Whit- man asked repeatedly. “I heard it,” was McGuire’s invaria- ble answer. Then would follow the inevitable question by the district attorney “Who told you?” And McGuire's stock answer was: “I dom’t recall” MoGuire Profited by Commissions. ‘What McGuire knew of bis own knowledge was that he and his broth- er, James K. McGuire, for siXx years mayor of Syracuse, had profited by commissions on the sale of asphalt and oil to the te and to contractors on state worl They had beem credited with commissions of ome-half cent a gallon on 200,000 gallons of asphalt sold the siate and 250,000 gailons sold contractors, and with a commission of one cent a gallon on 250,000 gallons of oil sold the state, altogether between $4,500 and $5,000. Of this sum, $1,300 had been paid, he testified, and the rest was still owing. “Where is your brother now?” asked Mr. Whitman. “He went to South America-three or four days ago,” replied the witness slowly. “¥ou see, he was interested in asphalt works there, and- “When is he coming back snapped the district atiorney, “I'm interested in knowing that.” “I gon’t know, four weeks.” Possibly in three or Gave Sulzer $3,500. McGuire corroborated his previous testimony that he had siven Sulzer $3,500. Of this sum, he said, § Wwas given “out of sympathy” la June, when (he governor sent for him and told him he needed money; $500 Was given him after the Syracuse con- vention, and the other $500 was given to aid in the direct primary bill fight. “After I had given the $2,500,” Mc- Guire was made to gay, “T got to think- ing it over and conciuded that it was a larger contribution than I could af- ford. So I went to Arthur Johnson— he was the Barber Asphalt company's agent—and told him about it. 1 told him I wanted him to reimburse me for some of it, if he felt that he could. As well as I recall it, would pay half of it, In any event, I got a check for $750 from him a few days later. MoGuire Evades Question. ‘Whether this check was in payment of commissions or to reimburse _hlm for a _portion of the Sulzer contribu- tion, McGuire could not say. “Why did you give Mr. Sulzer $3,- 5007" asked Mr, Whitman. McGuire evaded the question several times. At length he said that it was partly out of sympathy and partly be- causc he felt that it might be to his | advantage to see that the state got the Barber asphalt—thereby getting full ue for every dollar it spent.
