WASHINGTON BUREAU OF TUB DEE ,

WASHINGTON , J-ily 24.
Whllo the republican senators have not
participated In the proceedings of the sen
ate , with the exception of a brief speech
by Senator Sherman on FrlOny , slnco the
letter of the president to Chairman of the
Ways nnd Means Committee Wilson was
mndo public , they have not Keen disinter
ested observers of events , nor unmindful
of the Importance of the occurrences. Sen
ator Sherman In a brief Interview said
today that bo considered the letter of the
president as ino.it Injudicious nnd so un
usual ns to render It Ineffectual , but de
clined to express an opinion aa to whether
the democrats would be able to extricate
themselves from their dilemma. He said It
was a tlmo when no man could foresee the
outcome. Other republican senators pro-
tesa to believe that the entanglement will
result In the destruction of the bill. Sen-
atom Mills nnd Smith , representing the two
extreme wings of the democratic party In
the senate , today expressed the opinion
that the party would get together and pass
a tariff bill before adjournment.
GHESHAM HAS NOT APOLOGIZED.
It can be stated authoritatively that there
Is no foundation for the published report
that Secretary Gresham had apologized to
M. Tntcno , the Japanese minister , for ut
terances contained In a telegram sent by
the secretary of state to the Japanese gov
ernment through Minister Dunn at Toklo.
That dispatch was sent after having been
submitted to Minister Tateno nnd contained
nothing offensive to the Japanese minister.
There has been no occasion tltcrcforo for
an apology and none has been tendered.
The Japanese minister nnd Secretary
Gresham had an Interview yesterday at
which eastern affairs were discussed , but
the message sent to Minister Dunn was not
adverted to nnd the Interview , which wns
very friendly and amicable , was devoted to
renewed expressions by Secretary Grcsham
of n hope that China , Japan 'and Corea
would not bo embroiled In war and to state
ments by M. Tntcno In affirmation , of the
justice and reasonableness of Japan's
course and his hopj that Corca would ac
knowledge this am. Institute reforms neces
sary for the protection of Japan's large
Interests In Corca. When Secretary
Grcslmm's attention was directed to the
published report ho at once entered a most
vigorous denial of Its accuracy , declaring
ho had made no apology nor was any called
lor.

Man Who Known All About the Sugar
Speculation Cannot ( In Found.
WASHINGTON , July 24. Edward 0.
Levy , n New York broker nnd employe of
Wheeler & Co. of Now York , was before
the sennte Sugar trust Investigating com
mittee today. While not n member of the
firm of Wheeler & Co. , he acts as a personal
representative of Mr. Gulllardeau of that
firm In his absence nnd It Is understood
that his testimony substantiated that given
by Mr. Gulllardeau when before the com
mittee nnd that It related to an order
for Sugar stocks alleged to have boon given
by Senator Camdon. The committee still
refuses to give out the testimony , but the
members unlto In saying that the testimony
is important and that If they are able to
complete It on the lines- which they are fol
lowing the result will bo cither to fasten
the charges or bring them to a point where
their falsity can bo established.
The chain , however , will bo Incomplete
so long ns the committee falls to IInil one
witness for whom search Is making. This
witness Is said to bo Samuel Battershnll ,
who formerly represented the New York
firm of Seymour , Young & Co. In this city.
"Witnesses who have so far been examined
have named Dnttcrshnll ns the man who atone
ono tlmo had In his possession orders from
senators for the purclmso of Sugar stocks.
The commlttpo regard the disappearance
of the witness wanted nt this ' tlmo ns sig
nificant. Ills absence Is also' delaying the
final consummation of the committee's
work.
Senator Cnmden was today asked If ho
desired to mnko any statement concerning
the reports In the newspapers to the effect
that the testimony had Involved his name
in Sugnr speculation. Ho replied that ho
did not doslro to say anything at present ,
but will defer any statement ho had to
make until he could have an opportunity
to see thu testimony.
Many rumors were reported from the com
mittee to the effect that they were on the
trull of Important discoveries. Members of
the committee- would not deny these rumors
and some acknowledged that they consider
the rnccnt developments ns of Importance
and said the fact that the proceedings had
not been made public gave them clues that
they might not have been able to obtain
otherwise. It Is acknowledged that Battcr-
ehall Is the missing witness that Is so
much desired , and the lines cf the now evi
dence will bo determined moro definitely
when he Is found.
Ono of the persistent rumors that wens
in circulation was. that the- committee had
obtained a copy of nn alleged order for
Sugar stocks lgncd by n senator nnd that
this order purported to have been given be
fore the senator testified before the com
mittee that ho had 116 dealings In Sugnr ,
This was repeated to n member of the com-
inltteo who told he had no way of telling
how such Information got out of the com
mittee , and that all ho could say was that
testimony had been discovered which will
call for a great deal of explanation and
further that It would bo unfair to the ac
cused to publish liny testimony until he has
un opportunity of making a defense. The
commlttoomen further assorted that It was
a very unsavory affair all around.

WASHINGTON , July 24. Hoslllltlefl be
tween China and Japan will require an Im-
mod la to reinforcement of the United States
naval forceon the China btatlon. At pres
ent thU consists of only two vessels , the
cruUer Baltimore and the antiquated Mon-
acacy. They am both nt Chemulpo , Corca ,
nnd It would bo impossible for them to
properly cover the enormous extent of seacoast -
coast that must bo watched. Owing to the
demands of the seal patrol service there
Is only one vessel nt present available for
the China station. This Is the Charleston ,
now nt Mare Island. When the close
season In the seal water * expires it is
probable come of the vessels of the patrol
fleet can be spared nnd ordered to proceed
to China. In this case , the Yorktown , the
Concord and the Petrol would probably be
chosen , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
FlCICIt OIVES TESTIMONY.
Chairman at Carncglo'n Ilrforn the Armor
Plato Investigating C'ommltttro.
WASHINGTON , July 24. Chairman
Frlck of the Carnegie Steel company was a
witness before the naval committee In the
armor plate Investigation today. Mr. Frlck
asserted that ho had opposed entering upon
the work of making armor plates , slnco the
necessary plant would be costly nnd the
company would have but one customer.
While the company's output of 1893 had
been moro than 3,000,000 tons , only 2,000
tons was armor plate. It was n compara
tively unimportant branch of the works
and ho had left the details entirely to Su
perintendent Hunslckcr.
Mr. Frlck regarded the penalty levied by
the Navy department ns exorbitant nnd had
appealed to the president , as he was per
mitted to do under the law. He considered
the president's decision unjust In the
amount exacted , since all the company had
stipulated to do was to furnish thu best
armor.
Ho asserted that the tensile tests of the
plates were of no Importance as compared
with Imllnstlc tests. He did not regard
the Information to the government as con
spiracy on the part of former strikers for
revenge , but rather as a money making
scheme.
Informer Craig had como to him before
the Information was given out , Intimating
that a conspiracy was on foot nnd giving
ns his motive for the visit gratitude- toward
a member of the company who had assisted
his sister In obtaining nn education. Mr.
Frlck told also of a visit from an unknown ,
elderly lady , who said aha- came from Wash
ington nnd Intimated that for money she
could give some valuable Information.
"If the government Inspectors had done
their duty there would have been no
trouble , " said he. "I knew they were there
to sco that the work was properly done
nnd depended upon them. You gentlemen
will see how that was when you come to
the works. "
Mr. Frlck could not see how it benefited
Ills men to slight their work , as It was nf
no financial advantage to them. Ho did not
endorse their conduct In deceiving the Inspectors
specters , nnd thought they should have ex
plained when It was necessary to deviate
from the regular methods to secure the
best results. Since taking the armor plate
contracts the company had Invested $3,000-
000 In the plant nnd had never refused
to buy any machinery that was recom
mended ns necessary.
Mlllard Hunslcker , assistant to Chairman
Frlck , and who had been In charge of the
armor plate departments slnco last January ,
testified that he had no personal knowledge
of the frauds. Mr. Hunslcker furnished a
statement of the number of armor plates
made from the beginning of the old contract
( November , 1890) ) to June 1 , 1894. This
showed a total of 1,506 plates made , of
which 905 were shipped , C02 were regular
armor plates and the remainder were small
plates. Most of the plates condemned had
been condemned by the notion of the com
pany Itself. As some of the members of
the committee- wanted to go to the senate ,
nn adjournment was had till tomorrow.
FLAWS IN TUB ItKILLY I1I1.I , .
minority .Preparing a Iloport on the 1'aclllc
Kiillroiul Debt Jtefumllnff "Measure.
WASHINGTON , July 24. The minority of
the house committee on Pacific railroads ,
who voted against the Rellly bill for adjust
ing the debts of the Central and Union Pa
cific , are drawing a report on the subject
which will be presented to tlio house this
week. Three or moro members will con
tribute their views , making the report a
composite nffnlr. Mr. Boatner of Louisiana
Is drawing that part of the document which
is intended to point out the defects of the
Rellly bill from the standpoint of the oppo
sition , while Mr. Harris of Kansas and per
haps others will contribute supplementary
views.
They will stand on common ground In
their opposition to the bill reported , holding
that It Is Inadvisable for the government to
grant any extension of time for the railroads
to settle their debts , and will contend that
the plan , If It become enacted Into law , will
have the legal effect of quashing the suit
brought by Attorney General Olncy against
the Stanford estate and make an Indictment
against the projectors and directors of the
rend for what they will call irregularities
In the management of the funds. They will
argue that the bill reported does not afford
any security to the government that the
company will carry out its provisions , and
will express doubt of the ability of the com
panies to raise the sum , something like $25-
000,000 , necessary In addition to the sinking
fund to raise the first mortgage. They will
recommend that -In the event of default in
payment of the bonds at maturity the gov
ernment should foreclose nnd take posses
sion , but they differ regarding the disposi
tion which the government should make of
the property If It came Into control.
Mr. Boatner will advocate that the first
mortgage having been paid or guaranteed ,
the government should sell the road outright
to reorganization companies , granting them
all the rights and privileges appertaining
to the charters , requiring them to assume
all secondary debts and limiting the divi
dends which could be paid to Insure reason
able freight charges.
Mr. Harris , on the other hand , will advo
cate In his supplementary views absolute
government ownership and control of the
roads. It Is understood that other members
of the minority believe In government con
trol exercised as It Is over the public high
ways , with arrangements whereby trains
will be run under private management and
recommendations to that effect may bo
added. The members of the minority re
port will bo Messrs. Hoatiicr , Harris , Cooper
of Wisconsin , Hepburn of Iowa and Snod-
grass of Tennessee.

DENVER , July 21. The annual session
of the Imperial council of the Mystic Shrlno

reports of the o Ulcers showed that the mem
bership which numbered 27,000 at the close
of 1S92 , has Increased to 25,000. Imperial
Potentate- Thomas J. Hudson recommended
that charters bo granted to Aladln temple
at Columbus. O. , nnd Ahmed temple nt Mar-
quette. Mich. , nnd that the application
from Ogden , Utah , for n dispensation to
open El Old temple bo referred to the com
mittee on dispensations nnd charters. The
Imperial potentate reported that as an or
ganization of colored citizens had pirated

cles of Incorporation In Now York state.
The convention succeeded In electing an
Imperial potentate , William D. MolUh of

were elected. The matter of granting a
dispensation to El Cld temple .of Ogden ,
Utah , and of granting Charters for temples
at Columbus , O. , and Marquette , Mich , , were

two yet before the business sessions are con
cluded. Tbo grand parade took place to
night. The entire line of march was
lhroii fd with suectators who had assembled
to zeu the unique affair. The gay uniforms

LINCOLN , July 24. ( Special to The Dec. )
Ida Tlbbetts nnd Horace Capron have not
yet fully realized tlielr hymenlal bliss and
each of them are now resting under their
paternal roofs , while young Capron Is In .pos
session of a marriage license which he
would like to dispose of at the nominal price
of CO cents. It appears that the young
couple , as soon as they had left the girl's
house , repaired to the homo of Austin
Hellly , where the girl was left and Capron ,
In company with n companion named Shaw ,
started for Eagle In a livery rig. Thinking
that Eagle was the county seat of Cass
county , Capron thought that there he would
procure his marriage llcenso and return to
his loved one. Hut there they were Informed
that Platt.nnotith was tlio proper place to
secure such a document , and thither they
started and obtained the much-desired piece
of paper.
It was 2 o'clock this morning when they
arrived at Kcllly'B farm and the horse wns
taken back to the stables. It had been
driven about 120 miles and was pretty well
fagged edt when It was returned. This
came to the cars of Detective Malone , and
ho Immediately repaired to the Hellly domi
cile , where ho Induced the young couple to
return with him to the police station and to
*
postpone their nuptial venture , which they
did. They were not locked up , but their
parents were Informed and they returned to
their respective homes a sadder but wiser
couple.
The disappearance of ex-Officer Kucera
about two weeks ago seems to have been
rather unceremonious , though when he left
It was understood by the few people that
knew of his departure that he had gone In
sc.arch of employment. A next door neighbor
reported to the police this morning that the
reason he left the city was because he had
a wife living In the old country who came to
the city , and that he kit with her to avoid
any embarrassing scenes with his wife who
Is now living In destitute circumstances at
4.7 ! South Klghth street.
Ills wife who resides there says that she
docs not believe any such yarn , though pre
vious to his leaving she said he acted rather
curious , staying out late at night and some
times not coming home at all , but where the
rumor originated that he had another wife
living she does not know , and thinks It
exists only In the Imagination of some Idle
person's mind. She received a letter from
him Saturday from St. Louis saying that he
had secured employment In a planing mill
and that he would send her some money for
her to send his tools with , but made no men
tion of aiding her. A neighbor went to the
countv commissioners last Monday and In
formed them of her circumstances , and aid
was promptly furnished her. She has two
little children , one of which has been very
sick , but Is now much better. Her parents
live at Denton , Neb. , who will probably take
care of her and the children as much as they
are able , unless her recreant spouse soon
sends her money.
Deputy Sheriff O'Shco made a neat capture
this morning In the persons ofV. . S. Tucker
and George \V. Goldberg. The former hav
ing been found at Eleventh and 0 streets
and the latter at Lancaster , the station at
the pen , where he was found ready to catch
the next train , when the officer appeared on
the scene.
It appears , that the two have been travelIng -
Ing around the small villages as doctors
and causing the unsuspecting farmers to be
lieve that either they or some member of
their family are afflicted with some terrible
disease , which they guarantee to cure for a
stated sum , which Is usually forthcoming.
A wall comes from Louis Qattln of Hay-
mend , who says that ha was mulcted for
the sum of $200 , In return for which the
supposed doctors were to cure a member of
his family of an alleged disease. In. pay
ment they were tendered two notes for $75
each and one for $50. The nonappearance
of the men after the deal had been closed
aroused his suspicions , and he caino to the
county court and swore out a complaint
against them for practicing medicine with
out a permit , which led to tnolr arrest.
The governor has Issued a proclamation
offering a reward of $200 for the arrest of
Robert Moorehead , who Is wanted by the
authorities of Illchardson county for the
murder of Alva Shaffer July 4. Ho Is de
scribed ns a small man , weighing about 130
pounds , five feet eight Inches In height , light
complexion , very light hair and blue eyes
deeply set In the forehead.
George W. Drown was assessed $23 by the
police Judge this morning for malicious de
struction of property. His wife claims that
he came home out of humor and smashed
everything he could find and then tore up
their marriage certificate.
Sam D. N'edrcy and Ernst Langbhen , both
of Omaha , are booked to speak before the
next regular meeting of the Lincoln Labor
club Friday night. The former will speak
on "Tho Alms and Objects of the Nebraska
Federation , " and the latter will address
the Germans In the German tongue on
"Socialism. "

DENVER , July 24. The sixteenth biennial
convention of the North American Turner-
bund met nt East Turner Imll today , with
about 400 delegates present , representing
nenrly every state In the union. The meetIng -
Ing wns called to order by President Henry
Braun , who delivered nn address. He
called attention to the fact that for the
ilrat time In the hlHtory of the bund the
convention was held west of the Mississippi.
Ho regretted he could not report great
progress In the Increase of membership.
He ascribed this to hard times. The
strength of the bund was Jeopardized 1 > y In
ternal dissensions. Differences of a personal
character threatened the harmony which
had existed for forty years , and more ap
peals were made to the national board than
over before. He honed the convention In
its deliberations would further the welfare
of the bund by appropriate legislation niul
all differences would disappear.
A recess was then taken to permit the
committee on credentials to prepare Its re
port.
port.The
The convention organized by electing M.
C. Yollmer of Cleveland president over
Henry Vollmer of Davenport , In. , by a
vote of 212 to 1S7 ; Carl itodur vice president
and A. J. Hartwlg and Franz 1 \ Metchner
secretaries.
Aside from the appointment of committees
but little business wns transacted.
John Ullrich of Mllwaukeee , who was a
candidate for mayor on the populist ticket
last year , offered n resolution censuring
President Cleveland nnd Attorney General
Olney for their actions during the A. II. U.
strike , but It was tabled without debate.
A communication from Mayor II. li. Tyler
of Louisville was received , asking the so
ciety to meet In that city In 183ii. The In
vitation will be considered later. During the
remainder ( if the day reports were consid
ered. National TreMHUTer F. II. Huechtlng
asked the convention 'to release him from
the payment of $1,000 , , of the society's funds
which were on deposit In the South Side
bunk , Milwaukee , , ) .when that Institution
foundered. The lln : uc , * committee will con

The following telegram wns received yes
terday afternoon 'bitTho Dee from DCS
Moluts
"A badly wanted "preen goods man , named
Williamson , was arri&tiM at Indlanola , Wnr-
ron county , at noon , Hu Is said to bo an
artist at this business The olllccrs will
take him to Omnliautnnlght , "
At n late hour lalit might Williamson had
not been brunt lit here , Ho has a record as
a "green goods" mtilL.fiut his operations In
this part of the country were nt Sioux City ,
where the police think | lie Is wanted. None
of the government li > crot service men want
htm , and the police think It likely that he Is
wanted In Council Bluffs or Sioux City , In
stead of this city. '
TIIEOSOPHY NOT A RELIGION
But Its Principles Have Been Adopted by
Many Preachers of Religion.
LECTURE BY COUNTESS WACHTMEISTER
First of n Series of Throe to Ite Do-
llvernil by n I'tipll of AIndnma
HlavntRky What the Sjntoni
Is In Oenoml.
Countess Constance Waclitmelster , who
was for years a member of the Household of
Mine. Helen Blavalsky , arrived In Omaha
yesterday , nnd Is the guest of Mrs. Durness
nt E45 South Twenty-fifth avenue. The
countess last evening nt Patterson hall
began a series of lectures on the subjects :
"Thoosophy , " "Mmo. Dlavatsky and the
Adept , ' * and "Tho Difference Between
Hypnotism and Theosophy. " The remain
ing lectures will bo given tonight and to
morrow night , the subjects being In the order
named above.
The countess will rccolvo her friends nt
the home of Mrs. Durncss between 10 nnd
12 nnd 2 nnd 4 o'clock today and Thursday.
The countess has Just returned from nn
extended western trip , during which she
lectured on the Pacific coast , nt Denver
nnd other Colorado points , and was enthus
iastically -received everywhere.
Theosophy , the speaker said last night ,
Is thu outcome of the wisdom of genera ,
tlons nnd generations of adepts. If the
bible Is studied with the key given by theosophy -
phy , many of the contradictions will dis
appear , and while It Is not n religion , Its
precepts nnd teachings have been accepted
by many of the preachers and church men ;
It Is a doctrine that is permeating all re
ligions , some preachers even delivering
thcosophlc.il utterances from their pulpits.
The human race , the speaker said , Is the
fifth race on the fourth globe. On this
globe people have flvo senses ; on the fourth
four senses , nnd so on down to the first
of the planets , where the beings have but
one sense. Pcoplo are , the speaker said ,
entering upon the sixth globe , the race which
will have Its birthplace In America , on this
plane of matter. This will be called reIncarnation -
Incarnation , a thing that was believed In
by the Jews and lost In the dark ages. It
was later 'believed by the German and
Italian philosophers. It Is a thing that
teaches many truths by the bible , that every
cause brought about effect. As the child
creates the character of the man , so the
character of the man creates the character
of an old man , showing what Is sown maybe
bo reaped.
IMPORTANCE OF THOUGHT.
Thought , the countess said , Is n most Im
portant factor. Thinking Is the creation of
action , making It necessary to govern the
thoughts , and If children are taught how
to think , they will seldom do wrong acts.
Dy the accumulation of thought action can
bo controlled , having much to do with fu
ture life. No man or woman can have
a gift unless It Is worked up to that point
In a previous life , every one having his Just
dues. Theosophy can teach why people
como Into the world , whore they are to go
and how they shall think. Few people
know how to think ; they allow scattering
thoughts to enter the mind , flutter about
and pass out again. Experiments have
been made , and It has been determined that
when two brains beat In unison the thoughts
fly from ono brain to the other , thus showIng -
Ing that by study 'thought can bo controlled.
Discussing trouble , the countess sold the
best way to deal with It Is to take It and
put It on the shelf.eat , drink and sleep , and
then be ready to grapple with the trouble ,
which then can be overcome. Bad thoughts
can be overcome by sending out flood
thoughts , putting away remorse and leaving
It alone. The whole of energy should be
put into something good , counteracting the
wrong. Thought permeates every molecule
of the body , going out by the thousands
and being received by others , which makes
It necessary to think nothing but igood
thoughts. People are too anxious to harrow
others with their thoughts , discussing the
evils of their neighbors.
Pain and sorrow are caused by falling
away from the law of harmony. Going
against this law Is the cause of the sorrow
of life , but if people go with the law the
world will be one of Joy and beauty.
The ethereal body seldom goes far from
the physical body , both disintegrating at
the same time. The principle of desire
Is the pivot governing the body , nnd If the
desire Is sent upwnrd man became spiritual.
After death that desire becomes the spiritual
body , clutching on to the vitality of the
medium , thus being enabled to communicate
through this medium with people upon earth.
Nothing material can enjoy heavenly bliss ,
as Its desire Is to go downward. The
mind , the spiritual soul and the universal
spirit arc the trinity that forms the soul ,
the real spirit going on nnd on Into the
higher spiritual llfo and existing through
all eternity.

Dlstr.'ct Attorney Mllclirlsf * ItpHpoiue to
the Dufonso of Dnlm.
CHICAGO , July 24. During the proceed
ings in the trial of President Debs nnd his
associates for contempt today District At
torney Mllchrlst called the attention of the
court to the act of 1890 known as the anti
trust law. He read some of its provi
sions stating that If two or more
per.ons conspired to obatruct Inter
state commerce they shall be deemeo
guilty of aa offense against the government
and shall bo proceeded against In the
United States circuit court In equity. The
district attorney said that under this law
the argument of the defense that the bill
under which the Injunction wns Issued Is
void falls to the ground. The bill wns
fllcd under the act of 1S90. There Is no
doubt , Mr. Mllchrlst said , that the govern
ment has such a pecuniary Interest In In
terstate commerce that It has a right to
fllo such a bill. The government main
tains Itself In part by the revenue derived
from the postal service.
The greater part of today's session was
taken up with the argument of Attorney
Erwln of the defense. Mr. Erwln was fre
quently Interrupted by Judge Woods , who
questioned the attorney closely. Judge
Woods was particularly Inquisitive regarding
the advisory character of the A. R. U. olll
ccrs' duties.
"If the officers could not order n strike
but could advise the organizations' mem
bers , " asked the judge , "why could not the
former advise the men to desist after the
strike wns In force ? "
Attorney Erwln replied that the govern
ment's complaint contained nothing refinrd-
Ing advice , but simply charged the defend
ants with ordering strikes.
"If the government meant advice Instcnd
of order , " said the attorney , "It should have
said so. Our answer fully covers the case
as stated by the prosecution. "
Attorney Bancroft , attorney for the Santa
Fo railroad , followed Mr. Erwln. He at-
tncked the nnswer of the defendants , claimIng -
Ing It wn Insufficient. Ills argument wns
exhaustive , paying particular attention to
definitions of the various kinds of contempt ,
both In law and In equity. Mr. Getting
concluded for the defense , after which Judge
Woods gave the decision , refusing to dis
charge the defendants.
