He cutue to
Washington with a petitiV the pres
ident and to Congress oy iio4
members of the British paY nent. Hi
coiicited permission to appear before
the committee on foreign affairs of
this house. As every member of that
committee, 1 believe, is agamst war,
M H can be avoided, and is in lavo
settling all disputes between nations
by arbitration and resorting to the ar
bitrament of waivonly when no other
honoraole course is left open, the re
quest of the Hon. Mr. Creamer was
unanimously granted, and he appeared
before the committee? He invited the
members of fine committee to put nueo-
tloiuf to him. This was done. I Joined in
the questioning. The cross-examination
we* not .en«thy or severe. It seems,
■however, that the temper of th!* rr •
Hionary becamo ruffled, and after he
Ie»t the committee, he charged in high
quarters that I had insultml him. Of
counse, this charge was unfour^
hod no thought of insulting him. I
only put a very few direct questions
to him, and If hie could not an»wc*r
them.to (his own satisfaction 1 cannot
sed how the fault was mine. To insult
a distinguished Englishman when ad
dressing a comni^ee of this house
would, in my judgment, be a breach of
the privileges of the house. In order
that the house may know that the
charge made by tins missionary of
peace has no founffallon to rest UDon.
I aend to the clerk's desk to read a
copy of a letter I have een't to Mr.
Creamer, wmlch states the case, from
my point of observation exactly as It

Chicago, Feb.- 9.—Attorney Mack
this morning presented to Judge Gross-
cup tho affidavits procured from New
York in tho Whisky Trust case In be
half of lids clients, Charles J. llelna-
hrimer and S. L. Wormser. (Both
.made additional affidavits, saying the
use of their names aa petitioners for
a receivership for the Whisky Trust
was not authorized. A telegram to
Runnells and Burry, counsel for Mr.
Groenlbut. demanding that their names
bo 'WlUhdraiwn from the petition wan
cited. The denial was absolute and
complete. Neither Helnsbelmer nor
Wormser had any communication with
President Greenhut in regard to sign
ing their names. Wormser had never
owned any stock at any time.
Albert E. uoouhani of i««j Snn of
P. O. Goodhart ol New York made an
affidavit to the effect that on the Tues
day after the receivers had been ap
pointed he hod a conversation with Mr.
Greenhut by telephone. Mr. Grccnlhut
ask^l him If there- were any persons ln
Ms office who held any stock In the
Whlskv Trust. Mr. Goodhart replied
there were not. Mr. Greenhut then
asked him to send somebody to the
Central Trust Company and are If 'he
could find two stockholders of record
there, us ho wished to use their names
on a mere matter ot form. He then
told about tne Whisky Trust being In
the bands of a receiver and said Ed
ward iM. Lawrence had been aipoimod
receiver, hu-t did not mention Ulmse'.f.
The first Intimation Sir. Goodhart hu.l
of the names <if Helnabelmer nuJ
Wormser bring used to get a receiver
ship for the Whlsy Trust was when he
read It tn the morning papers. He Im-
medialf'ly called 'Mr. Greenhut and de
manded that the names be wiilhilrawn.
Mr. Greeribut attempted to argue the
case, but the affiant insisted perempto
rily that Helnshelmer, ills tssphew,
and Wormser. n favorite clerk, be re
lieved from the odium attaching '
their names, end to Uhls the Wmsky
Trust president reluctantly c n- nt.-l.

about half their usual number of cars.
The Staten Island 'boat* floated up and

Atlanta. Feb. 9.—(Special.)—One of
tlio irest sensational features cf the
detective Investigation was the charge
that they had been paid by Solicitor
Lewis W. Thomas of the city court
to proseoutie gamblers and utifortuntvto
women through that tribunal in order
that tho Solicitor might got :bc ibone-
flts of the fines imposed. Tho charge
mft only tended to ehdw tho corrup
tion of the detectives, but Involved.
Solicitor Thomas' reputation In a very
damaging manner.
Since tho conclusion of the Investi
gation It Is shown that in .trying to
drag down the detectives tlheir accusers
Wavo also done a grave Injustice to So
licitor Thomas and -tho city court,
showing the Utter recklessness of the
gamblers and hoboes who have been
In file saddle since the qua,,*! of &
couple of poGIMosl bosses gave thorn tho
opportunity to play for oven with the
police department.
The only evidence throughout tho In
vestigation tending to prove that Solic
itor Thomas lhad paid the Wtectlves aa
alleged was given by Capt. George B.
Forbes, wtro tcSUfl<« tirait in 1892. while
he was a deputy clerk, 425 had been
paid to Solicitor Thomas to be paid fa
Chief of PoCtco Connolly and ;hc Uetcc-
trves for nuking cases against five
women, -and that after these women
haU bben subsequently indicted by the
grand Jury Solicitor Hill nolle pressed,
the case* because they had been al-
raidv fined ln <ttie city court.
WMloott the Stolid Sol Id tor Thornes
denounced Forbes' statement, and said,
th^ he had been drinking so urovj F
that Ms mind was beckrudvd. CW'ity
Sheriff BSounlt also oontnulld'.vd Capt.
Forbes. He 'testified that tola 5-5 -'re-

SPINNERS TO INVESTIGATE.
Think They Are Doing More Work Than
Southern Operatives.
Fall River. Mass.. Feb. S.-Secretary
Robert Howard. In a circular calling for
a meeting of the Mute Spinners Asaocla-
lion for next Wednesday night, has given
utterance to ills views and those of tha
members of tbe executive committee In
rotation to the subject of Bounthern con-
petltlon. He says on this subject:
"It may bo that a motion will be of
fered to the effect that the next con
vention of the National Mule Spinners
Association bo roquested to send two of
Its members to the Southern states to
lnV-wtigate tho condition of the cotton op
eratives there, suah as ascertaining the
actual hours of dally labor In the cotton
mills, the hanka per spindle, the cuts
per loom a week, the prims paid per hank
and cut, and tho wages earned weekly,
from tho knowledge already possessed
ho will bi a genius Indeed who con con
vince the factory people here that they
ore not producing more hank* per soln-
die and more cuts per loom tn fifty-right
hours per week than any of the other
New England statea are doing In sixty or
or any of the other states tn sixty or
seventy-two hours per week.
"If (here was any danger of the cotton
industry leaving this part of the country
mill stocks would not be selling so high
as they are at present. It Is a fact
that outside capitalists have purchased
largely of mill stocks here since tha ter
mination of the strike last October. This
would not be so by any means If there
were good rresons to believe that tha
cloth manufacturers of this city were
polng to more South, or If the business
was to be profitless In the future.
