HE SUGAR INQUIRY AGAIN.
•porter Rood Examined at Length Bat
All Folate Brought Oat Withheld.
Washington, July 33. — When the
mate sugar investigating committee
sutned its work to-day, only Messrs,
ray, Lindsay and Davis were present,
ut they had several witnesses before
cm and announced a determination
proceed with the work so long as
ere was any possibility of securing
itnesses who could furnish any tes
inony.
Henry W. Rood, the New York Her
ild reporter who wrote the articles in
hat paper upon which the present
iranch of the inquiry is based, was
Ixainined at length as to the sources
if his information. Special effort was
ade to get the best information at
is command as to his statements that
nited States senators had been spec
tating in sugar stocks since the tariff
ill was taken up in the senate, de
bite their deniala It is understood
ibat he responded to this request as
fully as he was able to do and pro
fessed a willingness to aid the com
' ittee to the extent of his ability.
It was impossible to secure the de
ils of the testimony. When Mr.
ray was asked for a statement as to
lie proceedings he replied that he
buld say nothing, and that it was
jhe intention of the committee not to
five out any information as to testi
mony until the present branch of the
inquiry was completed because the
publication of the facts elicited would
pterfere with the plans of the com
mittee and prevent a complete in
quiry.
[ Other witnesses were W. B. Wheel
r, a New York broker, and A. M.
leip of this city. Wheeler stated that
e had never placed any orders for
nators for sugar stock and was un
ble to give any information. Seip
lad been represented in the newspa
ers as saying that he had come into
ossession of knowledge of the fact
hat a certain senator had placed
rders for sugar stocks during the
pring, and to have stated that they
■ere placed with a man representing
le firm of Seymour, Young & Co.,
few York brokers.
Senator Allen of Nebraska, who
ras a member of the sugar investi
ating committee, has made an ad
itional report to the senate supple
lenting that of the committee. He
.olds that the testimony of Henry O.
ind Theodore Havemeyer and John E.
learles left no doubt of the fact that
[lie Sugar trust in 1893 contributed
honey to the Democratic party of New
fork state for campaign purposes, and
ft the same time and for-the same pur
pose,contributed money to the Repub
lican party in Massachusetts and that
Ihe money went into the general cam
paign fund of those states and was
isgu as muca ior national as ror state
ind local purposes, lie believes that
lie American Sugar Refining com*
•any, the sugar trust, had been in the
tabit of contributing money to the
lational campaign funds of both the
lemocratic and Republican parties
hrough its president, with the ex
icctation, if not the implied
iromise, that whichever party suc
:eeded to power the interests
if the company should be “cared
'or” by it. He holds that a wisely
Irawn and judicious law looking to a
irompt and efficient remedy for this
'rowing evil should be passed by con
gress and approved by the president,
lie also holds that there should be a
aw to prevent speculation such as Sen
ators John R. McPherson of New Jer
sey engaged in. He declares that the
evidence does not show that the sugar
trust had any direct influence in pro
curing the presentation to the senate
at the committee amendment
to the sugar schedule, al
though that schedule insofar
as it prescribes an ad valorem system
of taxation is entirely satisfactory to
the trust. There is nothing in the
evidence to show that Secretary Car
lisle had any improper interviews
with any representative of the trust,
or that Senator Jones of Arkansas was
actuated by any but honorable
motives. He is thoroughly convinced,
however, that no senator or represen
tative should ever permit himself to
be approached upon any subject con
nected with legislation by those rep
resenting private or special interests,
except on such occasions as such per
sons may be heard by a committee.
In conclusion he calls for legislation
to compel contumacious witnesses tc
testify.

THE VIGILANT’S DAY TO WIN.
Gould's l»tht Boat*'the Rrlttannla la a
Light Wind Knee.
Kingstown, July 23.—This was tbs
Vigilant's day to defeat the Britannia,
and she did it under conditions that
had heretofore been considered un
favorable to her. She finished the
fifty mile cruise 3 minutes 30 seconds
ahead, not reckoning time allowance,
which will reduce it about 1 minute
10 seconds.
The prize competed for was $300 of
fered by the lioyal Yacht club and
the course the same as that sailed
yesterday. A light breeze was blow
ing at the start and did not increase
to any considerable extent during the
continuance of the race, but at times
died away' so that the yacht could
make no headway.
The Vigilant crossed the starting
line 34 seconds ahead. At the con
clusion of the first round of the
course, which is nearly quadrangular,
she was 4 minutes and 22 seconds in
the lead, but in the second round the
Britannia had reduced the advantage
to 1 minute 1? seconds. This was as
close as the yachts were at any time
during the last round which was fin
ished by the winning boat at 6:45:04,
the Britannia coming up at 0:46:43. □

SENT BACK TO CONFERENCE.
Tba Horn* Bcfnam to lomitw Any of
1U Bill—Johnion'a Plata Talk.
Washinoton, July 30.—When the
house met to-day, the galleries were
crowded end the scene on the floor
was an animated one In anticipation
of the debate on the tariff
conference report While the
journal was being read, Chair*
man Wilson entered the room.
Ills head was bound with a white
handkerchief and he was evidently
suffering great pain. His appearance
was the signal for a great demonstra*
tion on the Democratic side.
As soon as the reading of the jour
nal had been completed Mr. Outh
waite of Ohio, from the committee on
rules offered the following reBolu-’
tion, nnder which the house was to
bo allowed to debate the conference
report on. the tariff bill:
Resolved. That after the adoption of this
resolution It shall be In order for the house
conferree* on the H. R «Ml (the tarllf bill) to
make a report of disagreement to moro that
the house Insist upon Its disagreement to the
senate amendments to said bill in gross and
ask a further oonferenee with the senate oa
the disagreement vote of the two housos
thereon, that two hours of debate shall be al
lowed upon said motion and then without
other motion the vote shall be taken thereon
Should such motion prevnll the speaker shall
nt once appoint the house eonferrens and the
matter shall then, for the time being, pass
from the consideration of the bouse.
Mr. Hopkins attempted to offer an
amendment to extend the time to four
hours, but objection was made and
the previous question was ordered.
This gave thirty minutes for debate.
Mr. Reed first offered a word of pro
test against cutting off debate in this
summary manner. He thought there
were members on the Democratic side
who desired time to express their opin
ions of the senate amendments. With
something of a twinkle in his eye, he
yielded ten minutes to Mr. Johnson,
the free trade single taxer from Ohio.
QMr. Johnson immediately launched
a protest against the special order be
cause it gave the house no opportun
ity to vote separate instructions on
the different schedules and especially
on the subject of Rugar. lie de
nounced the discrimination in the
sugar schedule in favor of the trust
as criminal and declared amidst a
burst of applause that if the sugar
trust or any other trust was to legis
late for the people, it made little dif
ference whether that legislation was
imposed upon them by the McKinley
or the Gorman bilL
The order or the rules committee
was adopted by the house and Chair
man Wilson was recognized. There
was a burst of applause from the
Democrats as he arose with the tariff
bill and disagreeing report in his
hands. His head was bound with a
silk handkerchief which completely
enveloped his face, covering Ills eyes
and failing to his mouth. He stood
in the aisle with a hand on the desks
at either side. He sent the report of
disagreement to the speaker's desk
and it was read, briefly stating the
disagreement in toto. Mr. Wil
son said• that he desired to be
complete in his statement, yet he
recognized that there were limita
tions necessary. But he could say
within the bounds of courtesy and
propriety that if the senate conferees
had met the house conferees in the
spirit of doing good for the whole
people, an agreement could have
been reached in a dny. But the sen
ate conferees came fettered with cer
tain obligations to their colleagues in
the senate. These were against the
principles of the house and in line
with the demands of great corporate
interests. This developed an ir
reconcilable difference. He said
it in sadness that there appeared to
be no reconciliation of the two' posi
tions. The main differences lied Veu
upon sugar, iron ore, coal, silver lead
ore, some features of the woolen
schedule, some of the iron and steel
schedules and particularly steel rails
and structural iron. Hut the
groat difference had been on
sugar. The senate, he said, had
adopted a sugar schedule which,
whether true or not, had been con
strued by the public and press of the
country ss a concession to the Sugar
trust. “If it is true,” he said, “that
the Sugar trust has grown so strong
that it can «ay no tariff bill can pass
until its interests are protected, then
I hope this house will never ad
journ—”
Mr. Wilson was cut short by a burst
of applause which lasted half a min
ute. Members threw documents in
the air ond the gallery joined in the
demonstration.
“If this bo true,” Mr. Wilson con
tinued, ‘ I hope this house will never
aajourn until refined sugar is placed
on the free list.”
The house bill, Mr. Wilson said, had
not only been indorsed by the people,
but the President of the United States
had given his approval to the scheme
of tariff reform created by the liouso.
No man had been more intensely in
terested in this contest than the pres
ident. The letter from President
Cleveland was then sent to the clerk’s
desk and read.
At 1:50 o’clock the motion to insist
npon the house disagreement to the
senate amendments was adopted
without division and the bill was sent
back to the conference, the speaker
appointing the same conferees.

Cleveland on Tariff Action.
Washington, July 30.—Soon after
the house began the discussion of the
tariff conference committee’s report
to-day, Chairman Wilson of the ways
and means committee arose and amid
Intense Interest announced that ho
had received a lettor from President
Cleveland which the latter had per
mitted to be made public.
The letter was then sent to tho desk
and read amid profound silence. It
was in the president's vigorous stylo
and was a stirring tribute to the Wil
son bill and a direct blow at any sur
render to the senate bill. It was as
follows:
(Personal.) Executive Mansion,
Washington, July ?, 1894.—To tho
Hon. William I* Wilson. My Dear Sir:
The certainty that a conference will
be ordered between tho two houses of
congress for tho purpose of adjusting
differences on the subject of tariff
legislation makes it also certain that
you will again be called upon to do
hard service in the cause of tariff re
form.
My public life has been so closoly
related to the subject, I have so long ;
worked for its accomplishment, and I
have so often promised its realisation
to my fellow countrymen as a result
of their trust and confidence in tho
Democratic party, I hope no excuse is
necessary for my earnest appeal to
you that in this crisis yon strenuously ;
insist upon party honesty and good |
faith and sturdy adherence to Demo- |
cratic principles. I believe these are i
absolutely necessary conditions to the
continuation of Democratic existence.
I cannot rid myself of the fooling
that this conference will present the
best, if not the only hope of true
Democracy. Indications point to its
action as the reliance of thoso who
desire the genuine fruition of Demo
cratic • effort, the fulfillment of
Democratic pledges and the redemp
tion of Democratic promises to the
people.
To reconcile differences in the de
tails comprised within the fixed and
well Penned iines of principle, will
not be the sole task of the conference,
but, as it seems to me, its members
will also have in charge the question,
whether Democratic principles them
selves arg to be paved or qbjind.oned.
There is no excuse for mistaking or
misapprehending the feeling and tho
temper of tho rank and file of the
Democracy. They are downcast under
the assertion that their party fails in
ability to manage tho government and
they are apprehensive that efforts to
bring about tariff reform may fail;
but they are much more downcast and
apprehensive in their fear that Demo
cratic principle may be surrendered.
In these circumstances they cannot do
otherwise than to look with confidence
to you and those who with you have
patriotically and sincerely cham
pioned the cause of tariff re
form within Democratic lines and
guided by Democratic principles.
This confidence is vastly augmented
by the action under your leadershio
of the house of representatives upon
the bill now pending. Every true
Democrat and every sincere Demo
crat knows that this bill in its pres
ent form and as it will be submitted
to the conference falls far short of
the consummation for which we have
long labored, for which we have suf
fered defeat without discouragement,
which in jts anticipation gave us a
rallying cry in our day of triumph
and which in its promise of accom
plishment is so interwoven with Dem
ocratic pledges and Democratic suc
cess that our abandonment of the
cause or the principles upon which it
rests means party perfidy and party
dishonor.
One topic will bo submitted to the
conference which embodies Demo
cratic-principle so directly that it can
not be compromised. We have in our
platforms and in every way possible
declared in favor of the free importa
tion of raw materials. We have again
and again promised that this should
be accorded to our people and our
manufacturers as soon as the Demo
cratic party was invested with the
power to determine the tariff pqlicy
of the country, 'l’lie party has now
that power. We are as certain .to-day j
as we have ever been of the great !
benefit that would accrue to the coun- j
try from the inauguration of this pol
icy and nothing has occurred to re
lease us from our obligation to secure
this advantage to our people. It
must be admitted that no tariff meas
ure can accord with Democratic prin
ciples and promises or bear a genuine
Democratic badge that does not pro
vide for free raw materials.
In these circumstances it may well
excite our wonder that the Democrats
are willing to depart from this the
most Democratic of all tariff princi
ples, and that the inconsistent ab
surdity of such a proposed departure
should, be emphasized by the sugges
tion that the wool of the farmer be
put on the free list and the protection
of tariff taxation bo placed around
tho iron ore and coal of the corpora
tions and capitalists. How can wo
face the people after indulging in
such outrageous discriminations and
violations of principle? It is quite ap
parent that this question of free raw
materials does not admit of adjust
ment on any middle ground, since
their subjection to any rate of tariff
taxation, great or small, is alike vio
lative of Democratic principle and
Democratic good faith.
I hope that you will not consider it
intrusive if I say something in rela
tion to another subject which can
hardly fail to be troublesome to the
conference. I refer to the adjustment
of tariff taxation on sugar.
Under mir nartv platform and in
accordance with our declared party
purposes sugar is a legitimate and
logical article of revenue taxation.
Unfortunately, however,' incidents
have accompanied certain stages of
the legislation which will be submit
ted to the conference that have i
• aroused in connection with this sub
ject at natural Democratic animosity
to tiki ^methods and manipulations of
I'i
trusts and combinations. I confess to
sharing in this feeling; and yet it
seams to me we ought, if possible, to
sufficiently free ourselves from preju
dice to enable us eoolty to weigh the
considerations, which, in formulating
the tariff legislation, ought to guide
our treatment of sugar as a taxable
artlclo. While no tendernoss should
bo - ontertarlncd for trusts and
while I am decidedly opposed
to granting to them, under the
gulso of tariff taxation, any
opportunity to further their peculiar
methods, 1 suggest that we ought not
to bo driven away from the Demo
cratic principle and policy which lead
to the taxation of sugar, by the fear,
quite likely exaggerated, that in car
rying out this principle and policy wa
may indirectly and inordinately en
courage a combination of sugar refin
ing interests. I know that In present
conditions this is a delicate
subject and ' t appreciate the
depth and strongth of the feel
ing whioh its treatment has
arousod. 1 do no believe wo
should do evil that good should come,
but it soems to me that we may not
forget that our aim is the completion
of the tariff and In taxing sugar for
proper purposes and within reason
able bounds, whatever else may be
said of our notion, we are in no dan
ger of running counter to Democratic
principle.' With all there is at stake
there must be in the treatment of this
article some ground upon which wo
are all willing to stand where tolera
tion and conciliation may be allowed
to solve the problem.
Without demanding the entlro sur
render of fixed and conscientious con
victions I ought not to prolong this
letter. If what I have written is un
welcome, I bog you to believe in, my
good intentions.
In the conclusion of the conference
touching the numerous items which
will be considered, the peoplo are not
afraid that their interests will be
neglected. They know that the gen
eral result, so far as they are con
cerned, will be to place home neces
saries and comforts more easily
within their reach and to insure bet
ter and surer compensation to thoso
who toil.
We all know that a tariff covering
all the varied interests and condi
tions of a country asvust as ours must
of necessity be largely the result of
honorable adjustment and compro
mise. I expect very few of ub can say,
when our measure is perfected, thut
all its features are entirely as we
would prefer. You know how much I
deprecated the incorporation in tho
proposed bill of tho Income tax fea
ture. In matters of this kind, how
ever, which $o not violate a fixed and
recognizea Democratic doctrine we
are willing to defer to the judgment
of a majority of our Democratic
brethren.
x tiuuic mat mere is a general
agreement that this Is a party duty.
This is more palpably apparent when
we realize that the business of our
country timidly stands and watches
for the result of our efforts to perfeet
tariff legislation, that a quick apd
certain return of prosperity waits
upon a wise adjustment and that a
confiding people still trust in our
hands their prosperity and well being.
The Democracy of the land pleads
most earnestly for the speedy com*
pletion of the tariff legislation which
their representatives have under
taken; but they demand not less
earnestly that no stress of necessity
shall tempt those they trust to the
abandonment of Democratic principle.
Yours very truly,
UltOVER Cr.EVEI.AND.
Before the vote was taken on Mr.
Wilson's motion to Insist on the dis
agreement, while Messrs. Wheeler
and Grow were talking the house
broke up into groups and discussed
the letter. The full effect of the
president's action, it was not at
tempted at the time to measure. On
the sonate side it was still said that the
senate bill would pass or none. This
dictum being repeated on the house
side, it was responded that if the
senate should not yield no bill thould
pass. Indeed, the sentiment was
strong that the president would veto
the senate bill if it did pass, as not
being a sufficiently satisfactory re
demption of the pledges made to the
people.
Many of the Democrats in the house
did not hesitate to say that even if j
the results of the present fight were a 1
failure of legislation the party would
yet be stronger than by a surrender
to recreant senators and that enter
ing the campaign on the basis of an
honest redemption of all pledges it
would be so received by the people.

The Indian appropriation, bill waa
then taken up. A,petition from citi
zens of various counties in Pennsyl
vania protesting- against the violation
of tfoe American principle of. separa
tion of church anu state, involved in
the appropriations -for sectarian
schools in the Indian appropriation
bill, was presented by Mr. Quay, who
also movod that further conaidoeatlon
of the bill bo postponed for two. weeks,
so that the Order of Patriotic Sons of
America might be heard upon 11 The
motion was lost
The paragraph appropriating 91,005,
000 for educating the Indians pro
voked the criticism of Mr. Platt of
Conneotlout against the policy of giv
ing ala to Indian contract denomina
tional schools. Ho favored the abol- ,
ishinent of all sootarian schools and
the establishment of government
sohools in their stead.
Mr. Call said that the government
reoognized no sect, but finding that
various charitable organizations had
established themselves on the Indian
reservations, had made contracts with
thorn to save the expense of erecting
schools, without considering whether ‘
they were Episcopal or Methodist, or
Congregational or .Catholic.
Mr. (iallingor (Republican) Of New '
Hampshire protested against govern
ment aid to sectarian schools, espec
ially when one church reoelved so
much more than the others, There
wa-s already a gathering storm in this
Country against appropriating money
for sectarian purposes, and that
storm would break before tong on the
people and the congress of the United
States.
Mr, Call agreed that govertimont
schools should supe-sedo sectarian
schools whenevor it was possiblo to
do so, but if a government school
wore set down beside a sootarian
school there was nothing to compel
the children to attend it The com
mittee amendment was tbon agreed
to.
