THE SUGAH TRUST '
INVESTIGATION
A Largs Number of Senators Were
Examined by the Committee
of the Senate,
NOTHING VERY SENSATIONAL
Several of the High Legislator* Have
Xleen Dealing In Sugar, bat Kot
Dishonorably— Hansons Comes
Oat as While as Snow,
r Washington. June 16.—Many sena
tors were examined today by the sen
atorial committee engaged In Investi
gating the relations between the sugar
trust and the senators. When the
committee adjourned it liad beard the
testimony of seventy-four of eighty-
live members of the seuate. The
eleven who are yet to be examined are
Brice, Butler, Dixon, Gorman, Irby,
Mitchell of Oregon, Pettigrew, Walsli,
Washburn, Wilson aud Wolcott. Most
of these ore out of town aud Senator
Wolcott is ill la Paris.
The committee developed no sensa
tions today, but it managed to explode
one. For some time past there have
been rumors-liiui newton Hansom of
North Carolina had been speculating
in sugar stock, but the reputation for
integrity held by him had effectually
prevented their publication. Today
the basis for these rumors was shown
by the statement of the senator to the
committee that his son George, who is
ills clerk, aud Capt. Barues, his mes
senger, had invested small sums In
bucket slioiis. The explanation of Oeu.
Hansom was a complete vindication
for hitp of the accusations contaiued
In the rumors. Nearly all the senators
who testltlisl today made negative an
swers to the questions prepared by
the committee aud were nllowed to
go without further examination. All
those, however, whose names ' hail
been mentioned by witnesses In con
nection with sugar legislation were
questioned at length. They were the
members of the finance committee and
Hinlth of New Jersey, Murphy of New
York and a few others. The categori
cal questions asked by the committee
of every senator who appeared before
it were as follows;
Have you given any Information,
directly or Indirectly, to any one In
terested In sugar stocks, so-called, or
In the stock of the American Sugar
Heflntng Company, that was Intended
or calculated to effect Its value?
Have you bought or sold, directly
or indirectly, since the beginning of
this session of congress any so-called
sugar stock, or stocks, or stock certi
ficates of the American Sugar Refin
ing Company?
Have you been concerned with any
one In the interest, directly or indi
rectly, centinse:?!. or otherwise, in I*nv
operation whatever by purchase or sale
of said slocks or certificates.
Has any one bought or sold for your
account, or in your intereat, any of
suoh stocks, or speculated In any of
such stocks on your account, or given
you to understand that you would
share In the profits of any portion of
such stocks, or place any money to
your credit as .to the proceeds of the
purchase or the sale of such stocks, or
promised or agreed to place euch
money to your credit?
Has an* member of your family, or
any person Ip your employ, or any
clerk employed under the lasts of ths
Untied States in your service been,
to your knowledge, interested In any
of the ways indicated in any of the
preceding questions tn any transac
tion In sugar stocks or certificates
during the period mentioned?
Have you, or has any member of
your family, or any such clerk, owned
or held certMcases of the American
Sugar Refining Company during the
period heretofore mentioned? • •
Have you ct any time .been con
nected with the American Sugar Re
fining Company, or have you at any
time been in its employ as agent, at
torney or otherwise?
The testimony of Senator Ransom.is
as follows:
Chairman Gray allied Mr. Ransom
ths question as follows:
Has any member of your family, or
•ny per son In. your employ, or any
clerk employed under the laws of the
United States In your service, been,
to your knowledge, tsterfsted tn any
of the preceding questions In any
transaction in augur stocks or certifi
cate* during the period mentioned?
Mr. Ransom—I want to make a
statement. On last Thursday night (the
Hth) of IMs week Mr. Howland, the
correspondent of tife New York Press,
sent mf his card and called to see
me at my rooms at the Metropolitan
with a stenographer named Robinson.
He asked me questions very like thOee
that you put to tne now. I mean the
substance of them. He then Informed
me that the New York Press did not
wish to do me or any other senator an
injury without giving us an op|»rtu-

their oaaeaaion, or he bnd. or someone

said: "I would thank you to come

to the parlor door.where my son wsh,

not speak to him or ree him between

got in my room I asked the gentleman
to state their business to him and toll
my son whatever the matter wAs to tell
th« truth about it. He then stated to
those persons in my pres-moe shat he

17th or 18th of April; he put up a mar
gin of 110 which he paid the broker or.
sugar stock. He said thnt on the «me
day he put up a margin of *25 on coiton.
He said he lost the money on the cot tin
and made HO on the sugar. That after
wards he repeated the bet on sugar, but
not on cotton, and I think he lost the
second time. He then stated thit he
and a Capt. Barnes, a messenger here
at the commerce room (Senator Hansom’
committee); after that on two occasions

They went in together, and I asked this

Gorman, Brice, Hfti; Smith of New
Jersey, Caffrey and White—now a Jus
tice of the eupreme court, who was
then In the senate a-nd had been ap
pointed, but had -not taken his seat
on the bench. The discussion was
taken up at once on the sugar schedule
as soon as we got there, and Senator
Gorman, I think, stated stated that h£
waa In favor, or* he thought it would
be right, to put an ad valorem duty
of 45 per cent, on sugars, with one-
fourth differential on reflend sugar.
Caffery did the talking for *the Louisi

ducers. £H combatted the idea of an
ad valorem duty. He went iro far aa to
aay that no ad valorem du-ty would
be accepted by the producers at all.
and he denied that he had ever agreed
to any ad valorem duty.
Senator Gorman said that the un-
deretnding was between the "Louisiana
seniors and the balance of us that
they should all act together, making
an impression on tne, and I think on
all the committee, that they had an

at my room in the committee
commerce. He Is a messenger of the
committee, a North Carolinian, and has
been here for aome time, and he told
me he had something to tell me, and It
waa rough; that a particular friend of his
had told him that they had a paper on
which my name waa down for so much
■ugar, and that I was deeply in It. I
told him how false It waa, how absolutely
false, and asked him to go to hla friend
and tell him the same thing and to Insist
upon his Inquiring Into it and let me
know what In shape and form It was.
The next day he came to me and told me
his friend had looked into it and thought
there sue „ot!~.lr.g In it, nnd I told mm he
must look Into it thoroughly to see and
know that there was nothing In it; that
I could not live if there was anything of
that sort In anybody a bream about .1,
and he must go and see. He returned
the next day and told me hie friend
said it an. all a myth and not to give
myself any concern about it; that he
was very much gratified to know who
It was. This correspondent asked me
the name of that person, and I told
him It was given to me In confidence and
1 had no right to give the name without
Capt. Barnes' .consent; but I have no Ob
jection to giving the name to the com

It. I have Just this minute sent for him

may not have stated correctly at to
details of this purchase by my son. I
asked him yesterday (horning to go to
the broker shop and get an account, a
paper to show the exact transaction, and
to he ready to come before the committee
and examine him.
The Chairman—Had you any knowledge
whatever until this Interview with Mr.
Howland on the evening you apeuk of. of
the bets of your son with thla broker
In sugar and cotton?
Senator Ransom—I never dreamed of
such a thing. I never thought of it. I
would not have believed It. The truth
of It la, 1 went to my nn with a great
deal of confidence when thla correspond
ent wanted to see him. A paper shows
that when he bought the first stock I
was out of the city. The lt8h of April
was when we were at Governor Vance's
funeral at Asheville. I may slate to ihe
committee that I have no Intereet what
ever. and never have had. In any stock
or trade or anything else any way since
,1 have been In the senate.
While donator Quay admitted hav
ing speculated, he answered alt tho
other question* In the negative. His
evidence was snort ami iv lh« point.
He waa examined by Senator bodge,
who asked; ,
"Have you bought or sold since the
beginning of thla session of congress
any so-called augar stock, or atocks,
or certificate# of the American Sugar
Refining Company?"
Senator Quay—1 have. I have bought
and sold, not oonttnuoualy, but Inci
dentally, with other atocks, atock of
the American Sugar Refining Company
daring the iaat twenty monthu. begin
ning aay twenty month* ypi. The last
transaction, I think, was on ttie day
that was fixed Xor the vote upon the
sugar schedule, when I closed out at
some loss to enable me to vote with
out having any interest In the stock.
I had been away a week and did not
know the schedule was about to be
voted upon. I have done nothing In
It since.-I do not feel that there is any
thing in my connection with the senate
to tnterefere with my buying or selling
the stock when I please, and I propose
to do so.
Senator Dodge—Have you at any
time been connected wth the American
Sugar Refining Company, or have you
at any lime been In Its employ os at
torney. agent or otherwise?
Senator Quay—I have not. and I wll
aay fuather. In aamuch aa I have tes
tified that I have dealt In the atock.
that I have no acquaintance with
either of the Havemeyera or Mr.
Bearles or Mr. Tarrell, and have never
met any one at Washington or else
where who I understood was an agent
-! ,h* sugar Trust, or connected with
It; that I have never received any in
formation frqm.any member of the
senate finance oommlwee in rotation
to legislation. I have acted entirely on
ait sales or purchases I have mad*
without regard to pending legislation.
Senator Dodge—Mr. Quay, let me
ask you a question. You have been In
Brice may have said somethin;;, but
I think he raid he did not care much
about it, but wanted the matter ad
justed. That seemed to be hts idea.
Senator Caffery was -’ery emphatic and
pronounced. Finally, I got up and
said: “Gentlemen, we came here under
Instructions of our caucus to hoar any
complaints that have been made and
any suggestions. Now, it Is evident to
me that you gentlemen do not agree
as to what you want, and that you
have made an agreement to aland by
each other aa to the sugr schedule, and
mittee does not want to lippollte.
but If you will' give us the committee
room we will make thla schedule at
once? 1 as you do not seem to be abie
to agree among yourselves as to the
tariff;” or words to that effect. They
all got up then and went out and we
went to work on this schedule, and
made it, finally, at 40 per cent, ad valo
rem on all sugars, wth one-eigh.h dif
ferential as it la now in the bill.
"Of course I do not know what
passed between those gentlemen ex
cept what they stated there to us. It
stood, and when they cams in and
made the proposition to the commit
tee they disagreed about it them
selves.''
Senator Lindsay—None' of that party
of gentlemen suggested or approved, *o
far as you know, the schedule that you
reported?
Senator Vest—No. sir; the propoeltion
from the refiner* was 33 1-3 per cent,
ad valorem and afterward 40 per cent,
ad valorem and one-quarter differen
tial. Mr. Havemeyer filed n paper with
the committee. In which he asked 33 1-3
per cent, ad valorem on all sugars, with
nne-qunrter differential. Afterward the
suggestion was 40 per cent, id valorem
and 1-4 of a cent. I never had a talk
with Mr. Havemeyer on tht* schedule.
The only time I saw him was before
we took up thla sugar matter and that
at my house, and he left a sample there.

Senator Quay—Yea. sir: since IMt.
Sometime* for two or three years I do

Mr. Lodge and the other Investigator,

committee decided that Mr. Vest should

Senator Mills and myself, put about 1
cent specific duty on raw sugar to bo

printed. It was a graduated duty. On
Tuesdar morning we were to lay that
bill before the Democratic member* of
the finance committee. Senators Har
ris. Voorhees and McPherson bad noth

tnken the place of Senator Vance, who
waa rick. Monday morning preceding
the meeting of the finance committee
we were Informal that a caucus of the

to the terms of the agreement, the wli

Senator Caffery had said that he had
never agreed to an ad valorem duty,
and 8*nator Oorman and possibly Sen
ator Brice said they understood differ
ently and that they had agreed to take
any sort of duty that a majority of these
gentlemen would agree to.
Senator Oorman suggested ad valorem
and Senator Caffary took leeue with him
and said the producers couldi-not and

Washington, Juno 1C.—After ten
days' consideration of the measure,
the house toduy, operating under the
rule adopted yesterday, finally dis
posed of tho Indian appropriation hill
substantially as repot led to the house
by the committee on Indian affairs.
There were numerous minor amend
ments agreed to in the course of the
debate upon the bill, but the most Im
portant probably was that offered to
day by Mr. Coflln (Democrat) of Wy
oming, directing the secretary of the
interior to detail a' special Indian
agent to negotiate with the Shoshone
and Arapahoe Indians for tho pur
chase of a portion of the Shoshone res
ervation In Wyoming. The provision
in tne inii direction ihe transfer of
the Indian warehouse and the pur
chasing agency from New York to
Chicago, which gave rise to one of the
most spirited episodes of the debate,
was struck out of the bill on n point
of order.
A motion by Mr. Gear (Republican!
of Iowa to recommit the bill with In
structions to so amend it ns to abolish
the system of contract schools, was
ruled out on a point of order. From
this decision of the chair Mr. Cannon
(Republican) of Illinois appealed, but
the appeal was tabled—155 to 6S. The
vote was generally along party lines,
the Populists voting with the Demo
crats and the following Republicans
to sustain: Brock, Childs, Cogswell,
Draper, Hermann, Pickier and Walker.
The question was then "shall the bill
pass?’ On division the house voted
13? to 2, the Republicans refraining.
No quorum was suggested and tellers
were ordered. The vote then was
ayes IDS, nays 83. So the bill passed
and at 4:40 the house adjourned until
Monday.
The day's session was begun with n
controversy between Mr. Reed (Re
publican) at Maine and the speaker as
to whether or not Mr. Richardson's
(Democrat) of Tennessee explanation
yesterday was preceded by a request

Tiiui BuiiuutS Meeting South
Is General In Its Make-up.
Baltimore, June 10.—In an interview
regarding the call Issued through the
Manufacturers' Record by New York
capitalists for a meeting of people in
terested in the South, R. 11- Edmonds,
editor of the Record, stated that the
invitation extended is general to ev
erybody interested tn the prosperity of
the South. No special Invitations are
being Issued. It Is simply an open call
to all who are interested in the ad
vancement of the South to attend a
meeting In New York Thursday next #
to discuss the best mean* of advancing only temporarily Stimulatino
the prosperity of the entire Smith. a<V„- .L 1 n S'
Judged by the telegrams and letters
that are being received from tho fore
most men of the South, the attendance
from that section will lie as conspic
uous for the business and financial
standing of the Southern men who at
tend thasmeetlng as is the list of Now
York men who have signed the call.
In nil probability there will Is* the
most remarkable gathering of leaders
In business interests that lias ever been
seen In this eodntry. Northern men,
representing hundreds of millions of
dollars invested in the South and tho
active, progressive men of this section
will for the first time In the history of
the country come together to discuss
how best to bring about a full utilisa
tion of the utvequaled resources of the
South and how to make known to tho
world the great attractions of this sec
tion to the investor as well as to the
home seeker. The occasion Is one that
promises to be productive of enormous
benefit to the whole South.
After the excitement wears oti
you feel worse than before. I n
fact, the system is left weak-
ened. The brief bracing effect
leaves dangerous after-effects.

IN THE SENATE.
Washington, June If.—Among the
business of the morning half hour In
the senate was .the passage of the sen
ate hi;t releasing nnd discharging the
suretlee of Oslo* Morgan, land office
receiver In Tallahassee, Fla., from 1166
to 1870. The tariff bill ires tskeu up lit
10:30, nnd fair progress was mado tn
Its consideration.
Although at oh# rime It appeared as
tf the Ume might be wholly consumed
by Mr. Quay In reading the ninth por
tion of Ms endless speech, for reasons
*a>tt*factory to himself, however, he
halted and aHowri the woolen sched
ule to be prooeeded with.
Senator Peffer’s amendment to ad
mit all woolen manufactures free-of
duty (In retaliation for potting raw
wool on the free Hat) only received hit
own vote and those of two other Pop
ulists—Allen and Kyle.
From that on. through the whole
schedule, there was very little friction
or delay. On women's and children's
dress goods, however (paragraph 263).
the finance committee amendment,
making the rare 40 per cent, ad valo
rem on goods valued sit not over SO
cents per pound and 60 per cent, ad
valorem on goods valued at more than
60 cents per pound, met a slight ob
struction In tho adverse votes of two
Democratic senaiuis. Coke of Texas
demanded the ayes and nays on the
amendment, and both toe and Berry of
Arkansas voted against .K. Th*y had
voting with them one Republican. Tel
ler of Colorado, and two Populists. Al
len and Kyle. Then the silk schedule
was taken up and dlmosed of. except
aa to the two first pern graphs, spun
silk and silk velvets, which were re
served till Monday. Schedule M, pulp,
papers and books having been reached
the bill was laid aside, and Che senate
at 6 p. m. adjourned.
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only on# way to cure deaf
ness, and that is hy constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is etused by an In
flamed condition of the eustachlan
tube. When this tube gets Inflamed
you have s rumbling sound or Imper
fect hearing, and when It la entirety
dosed deafness Is the resuR, and
unless the Inflammation can be
token out and this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which Is nothing hut
an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur
face*.
We wttt give StM fer any esse of deaf
ness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Bend for
circulars, free.
