Com- mon Sugar jumped up from 85 to 90. At 1 0clock 1t was nolsed about the capitol that many large orders for the purchase of Sugar stock for democratio senators were sent oat last 'night and early this morning, due und th e “bull” movement was 'Nlrl‘l<lyl ot ehilo information and the intor- view of Mr. Havemeyer with democratic genators; that the head of the Sugar trust Jiad besn promised that there would be a duty placed upon sugar which would be equivalent to 13 cents per pound upon the raw cents upon the refined article. Senator Hawlay of Connecticut, to wlhom yuany of the reports and much information wont directly, said this afternoon that the entire procecdings was the most disgraceful thing he had cver seen in all of his rience in congress; that it all looked like the Bugar trust proposed to bribe its way into legislation, and that it would bring calumny upon every democratic senator who had visited Mr. Havemeyer's rooms. Another New England republican gaid that the Sugar trust had simply ‘‘stood up” the democratic membership ~of the finance committee and compelled it to de- liver, the same as a highwayman forces a pistol into the face of a pedestrian in lonely Fpot In the dark hour of night and compels tha delivery of any valuables upon his person; that it looked very much as though the combine to compel the revision of the tarift bill had behind it speculating schemes upon the part of certain democratic senators; that they were demanding speculative action upon threats of voting against the bill. THEY ARE MILKING THE MARKET. It is asserted that some of the democratic renators who have been speculating in sugar nd whisky stock from inside information had clther entered the combine or were pncouraging it simply and solely to “bull’” pr “bear” the market. There is no question but that the tariff bill would have been com- pleted by the democratic members of the finance committee today had it not been Lhat democratic senafors and their friends who are working the fleld were unwilling to glve up their fleld just at this time. Mhey wanted another day or two for opera- tions. There is not an intelligent man in Washington tonight who does not believe that It there s a discrithinating duty placed upon refined sugar by the bill, as it will shortly be reported to the senate, it will be the re- Bult of bribery and a desire upon the part of democratic senators to work the market. It has been many ycars since the breath of seandal has been so strong about the capitol s now, and it will be a wonder If there are not some democratic hands burnt by it. SOME NEW POSTMASTERS.

Pickler of South Dakota before the house on Saturday, in support of pensions, was one of tho best defenses of the claims of union veterans and their dependents ever delivered. It was an impassioned statement of the services ren- dered the country by its defenders, and an argument cool and candid in support of the inherent justice of pensions and their veste rights, Major Plckler argued the veste right of pensions, and contended that no arbitrary action of an officer of the govern- ment could deprive one of his or her pension after it had been granted, except it was already proven beyond dispute that the pen- sion had been granted by misapprehension or through fraud. By indirection he tore the Hoke Smith suspension policy into shreds, and not only showed that it was without authority in law, but was palpably unjust and worse than’ theft.

C., March i men of the cotton trade were before house committee on agriculture today the first of a serles of hearings on (he anti- options bill. It brought out some sharp controversies at times, during which Repre- lor of the bill, joined J. 0. Bloss of the Nev York Cotton e and President J. W, Labouisse of the v Orleans Cotion ex- change as to the general practice of selling cotton with the distinct understanding that it was to be a speculation with no actual de- livery. Mr. Hatch said that this practice was “carried on constantly in Chicago, and he has evidence of unquestionable character as to the fact. Both of the cotton exchan; controverted this. In the course of the discussfon with Mr. Bloss, Mr. Hatch asked how many bales of cotton the New York exchange had on hand from day to day. “About 275,000 bales,” said Mr. Bloss. “What are your average dally transac- tions 2" JoncAbout 300,000 bales, and sometimes much ess.” ““Then,” sald Mr. Hatch, “‘your daily trans- actions are more than all the cotion you have on hand?” Mr. Bloss assented and then proceeded to show that speculations all had a tendency to help prices. The larger the market the larger the business. Mr. Bloss added that Mr. Hatch had been misinformed or misled as to the alleged practice of making future contracts not to be delivered. Hr. Hatch—Do I understand you to say that all trades made on the Board of Trade of Chicago in any of the commodities named in the bill are always terminated by an actual delivery of the property? Mr. Bloss—I say the contract calls for it. Mr. Hatch—You misunderstood my state- ment. That is exactly what I say, but there is not one out of a thousand ever terminated in actual delivery and the general under- standing is that they will be settled without that. According to your statement, the rules of the Board of Tradd require an actual de- livery when a contract of that kind is made. Why is it not enforced? Mr. Bloss—Because It suits both parties to the transaction, either directly or indirectly, to make other disposition of it. President Labouisse of the New Orleans Cotton exchange submitted a statement and many tables bearing upon the cotton trade. He gave it as his opinion that the fall in prices of commodities, including cotton, was not due to legitimate speculation, but was the result of the fall in silver which had been going on many years. He denied, however, that there was any undue falling oft in the price of cotton. ~ Its periods of high price had been due to special causes, and It had becn affected by the general shrinkage of the last twenty years in all branches of human industry. In answer to a question from Ropresenta- tive Simpson, Mr. Laboulsse said the Hatch bill, if enacted into a law, would have the effect of driving out the smaller dealers and concentrating the cotton trade in the hands of a fow dealers, Leading the for HAVE NOT BOATS NOUGHT. Navy Department’s Difficulty in Protecting the Seals. WASHINGTON, March 5.—It is a serious problem for the naval authorities to secure a sufficient number of vessels to carry out the agreement of the arbitrators respecting the patrol of the seal waters. The seal herds usually make thelr appearance off the coast of California about the first of May. They proceed northward along the coast, feeding as they go, and in the course of time arrive at the Prybiloff islands in the Bering sea. As soon as the herds are sighted off California the sealing vessels begin to hunt them, and there is no re- laxation of the chase day or night until the weary animals reach the sixty-mile closed sea around the islands. The slaughter is very heavy, particularly when the seals are caught in the smooth water in the lee of the headlands on the upper coast, and though the take of skins is large, reaching a total of 100,000 last season, the slaughter is much greater, as only one of every two or three seals killed at sea {8 recovered, the others sinking rapidly. So to protect the seals adequately it will be necessary for the naval revenue cutters to follow th , keeping the poachers at a safe dist roup to the islands, At present the only naval vi sel available for the service at San Franci is the Alert, now under repairs at Mare is- land. The Yorktown arrived at San Fran- cisco from Callao last night and can be counted upon soon. No other vessels of the naval force can be ready before May 1. It is the intention to bring some of the vessels of the fleet now in Rio around Cape Horn for this duty as soon as they can be spared from their present disagreeable post. But it will take them a long time to reach the seal waters unless a start is made at once that they may be of service at the opening of the season. And when they do get as far around as San Francisco, it will bo found that they will be in need of re- pairs after their long exposure in tropical waters before the vessels can venture on the Bering sea service. This will consume valuable time, and In addition the Navy de- partment |8 much embarrassed to find money to defray the cost of repairs in the present condition of the limited appropriations made. T scarcity of avallable ships is severely felt by the Navy department Diplomatio and Consular Appropriation. WASHINGTON, March 5.—The diplomatic and consular appropriation bill was presented today to the house by Chairman McCreary of the committee on foreign affairs. It ap- propriates a total of $1,613,7: which is 3,738 $46,706.24 less than the amount of the last consular fees, bill.

Othello Allen, the young man convicted of shooting with Intent to kill one Frank Ward, appeals to the district court for a new trial on the grounds that the jury which convicted him_entered into an egree- ment to sign an applieation to the governor for a pardon after he, had been confined in the state penitentiary for six months. He claims that this is misconduct upon the part of the jury. He also claims that early in the trial one of the jurymen was excused and that another was picked up. He thinks this was wrong. He has another grievance in that after the evidence was ali in the jury was taken to the scene of the alleged crime without his presence and without his waiving the privilege of being present. Finally, he claims to have discovered addi- tional ‘evidence. The crime for wlhich Othello was con- victed was committed on New Year's night. He became engaged In an altercation with Ward, both of them being cnamored of the same girl. The shooting followed. Othello set up the plea of self-defense, but as Ward was shot in the back the defens didn’t weigh for much with the jury. FURNISHED INFERIOR MATERIAL. The Board of Publlc Works created a small sized sensation today by refecting the valve works In the new water mains along P street. The contract for the work, which is now in progress, was let to Dean & Horton. The contract called for the Chap- man valve with brass linings. The board discovered that an inferior valve with lead linings had been furnished. The charge Is also made that other material fur- nished by the same firm is of an inferior character. An investigation will probably be made and a first class row is predicted when the matter comes up in the city council. AN EXCITING CHASE. Willlam Steen, a farmer living near Lin- coln, had an exciting chase after a hog thief this’ afternoon, but failed to capture him.

This morning Steen discovered Meachem riding on horseback and at once gavo chase. Meachem ran his horse for some distance and finally abandoned it near Salt creek. Steen captured the horse and was returning to the city with it when he was met by Meachem's two brothers and was compelled to give up the animal. The hog thief escaped and has again eluded the police. LINCOLN IN BRIEF. Mry.
