"Yen. Chapman has gone to Jail , and there
are otliem likely to follow , " said Senator
William V. Allen to a Uco reporter last
evening. "The senatorial Investigation Into
the SUgar trust was commenced during the
urnmer of 1S94. There wera a number of
recalcitrant wltncmes. Those who were In-
dieted were Indicted because of their refusal
to aimwer qurstlonn put to them lijmyself. .
They wore Indicted under an old statute of
1837.
1837."It
"It wan necessary , 1 believe , for congrern
to take such notion In order to protect Itself.
If It did not establish some precedent In
such cases dangerous Inroads might be made
Into Its work , and Its Investigations seriously
Interrupted. This Is why Chapman has been
sent to Jail. The others who have been In
dicted for their refusals to answer questions
concerning the relations of United States
Bunators anil the migar market arc : Henrj
Havemuycr , Theodore Havomoycr ( who has
died elnrc ) , John K. Senrlca and u couple
of newspaper men whose on rant I do not
recall. Thcae men ought to bo punished
In a almllnr manner. Congress can not nr-
fonl to do anythliiK else. It was with this
vluw of the matter that I Introduced the resolution
elution demanding tin apology from Chapman
to the icnato for his rifimal to nnswer
quiTitlonu bcforo he nhould be released. I
feel qitllo well natlHlloil with the progress
that has bean madu In this case , and I be-
lluvo that satisfactory results will bo ob
tained from the other cases. "
Speaking of Cuban matters , Senator Allen
said : " \Vo hail a most enthusiastic meeting
In favor of thu iinfortunatu Cubans at Wash
ington last Sunday afternoon. The theater
was packed , nnd It li rarely that I have seen
such a demonstrative audience. Yes , 1 think
Senator Morgan's resolution will bo passed.
It wan passed In aubstane'o a year ago. The
only difference IH that the resolution passed
then was a concurrent resolution , ono that
merely expressed the opinion of congress and
did not require the signature of the presi
dent , while the resolution that will be passed
la a joint resolution , onr * that requires the
president's signature and has the full ef
fect of any law made by congress. Ileyond
the probable pawsago of this latter resolu
tion , I believe there Is nothing now to be
said on the Cuban matter at this tlmo. "
HLISS HAS NO ALTERNATIVE.
IIIow great authority to carry out tha
provisions of the Indian supply depot law
l.i granted Secretary Blisa of tha Interior ?
Thu bill authorizing the establishment of
an Indian supply depot at Omaha sonic tlnu
within the next twelve months Is mandatory
In Its effect. The secretary of the Interior
must establish such a depot hero within a
year. The exact tlmo Is left to his dis
cretion. The bill roads , 'an Indian supply
depot from which supplies may bo sent out. '
It doea not require the secretary of the In
terior to send out supplies from hero at all.
The full beueflla of the. bill will have to
como from future work. The passage of
this bill gives us a footing' , a. sort of toe
hold on the ground. Now we will bo able
to work along from that. I have not yet
called on Secretary Bliss regarding the tlmo
of establishing of the depot hero and the
question of sending out supplies from here ,
but shall do so peen after I return to Wash
ington. I desired to wait awhllo until the
excitement of the passage of the bill had sub
sided. I shall endeavor to have the depot
put Into operation hero at an early date. "
PLEASED WITH THE EXPOSITION.
In reply to. a query concerning exposi
tion matters Senator Allen said : "Tho sundry
civil bill , to which Is attached the appro
priation for the exposition , will bo passed
within a week or so. It will probably be
pushed right along on the return of Senator
Allison from Iowa. The $200,000 will become
available on July 1. I am well pleased with
the progress the exposition Is making , and
hope- that matters may bo pushed along
rapidly from now on , as It Is most essential
that wo shall bo able to niako a good show
ing to our friends la Washington of the
work actvally accomplished. "
Senator Allen Is on hio way to his homo In
lladlson for a fortnight's vacation. Ho said
last night that unless ho was summoned by a
telegram ho should remain at homo two
weeki. This Is his first vacation alnco De
cember last. On his return he will stop In
this city , and In company with the exposi
tion directory ho will visit the grounds and
see for himself what la being done. Last
night he received a number of callers In
the corridor of the Paxton hotel , all of whom
heartily congratulated him upon the SUCCCEB
that hail attended his work for the exposi
tion and the Indian supply depot. Among

At yesterday's session of the Civil Service
Investigation , IJr. Don C. Ayer , chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry , took the bull by
the horns and positively retimed to make any
further statements to the Inspector unless
the attorneys representing the removed offi
cials were compelled to leave the room dur
ing the tlmo ho was on the .witness stand ,
In this position Ayer was ably seconded by
EM Sheldon , the representative of J. Ster
ling Morton.
Inspector Huston sustained Ayer and or
dered the two attorneys , Messrs. Herdman
end Lambert , from the room In which the
Investigation was being held. The Inspector
admits that this Is the first Investigation of
the kind he has ever conducted and aa he Is
In doubt as to how muqli authority he has In
the premises he readily acquiesces to any and
all suggestions made by Ayer and Sheldon.
The Civil Service commission Is to bo
notified of this action on the part of Ayer
and Inspector Huston , and will request
that Aycr's statement made behind closed
doors bo stricken from the record.
In his testimony , after the attorneys bad
been excluded , Ayer stated that there were
forty-three employes In the government serv
ice at tMs point. Seven , he uald , had bo n
removed In November and December of 1896.
All of the persons discharged were Ilryan
supporters. Some Bryan men were still em
ployed here , probably ten or eleven. In re
gard to the rating which has caused no much
talk and which was prepared after the re
movals last fall Ayer testified that ho pre
pared these ratings at the request of Ed
Sheldon. Ho said that Sheldon made no sug
gestions when the rating was being made.
Witness made the markings on the general
efficiency of each and every employe , based
upon his knowledge and Investigation of the
work of the men. The rating , witness said ,
expresses hi * conscientious opinion as to the
value of the employes to the service and It
was made without prejudice.
Continuing , Ayer ascrtcd that he had had
no communication wllh Euclid . .MartinV. . D.
Mclliigh , or any one olao as to this rating.
He and Sheldon had fixed It up thcnisclvci.
\Vhen completed the repoit and rating was
handed to Sheldon.
Dr. Ayer said that Holmes was rated at 50
per cent , that was all ho considered him
worth to the government. This was based
upon observation of the man's work. Fur
ther , witness said that this rating of Holmes
was not more than CO per cent of what ho
4hould have been.
George Seay was marked GO per cent. That
In the opinion of the chief was all ho was
worth. The reasons for tills low rating were
the same as given In the Holmes case. Seay ,
witness said , did not pay. his debts. There
had been some corerfeppndonco between his
creditors and the government.
Going on to the ratfng 06 Henry Ural , wit
ness said that ho had given htm all lie con
sidered he was worth. Complaints had been
made that 113eal did hot -pay his debts. It
did not amount to much , however. In re
gard to Bcal , Ed Sheldon had asked wit
ness not to say anything about his having
been appointed a tagger and then assigned to
work as a stock examiner.
In the markings of Paddy Butler , Joseph
Butler aud Sherlock , , Ayer said that when
sober these men should bo marked 100 per
cent , but when drunk they ought to be
marked 75 per cent.
Continuing , witness slated that ho had re
ceived a letter from Secretary Morton with
reference to these men .drinking. Morton
wrote that unless these , men behaved them
selves and did the right 'thing ' it would be
the duty of the -chief to discharge them. He
had told the men the substance of this let
ter. Going back to the method of making
this rating , Ayer explained that as the names
of the employes were read over he stated to
Sheldon what the percentage of standing
should be.
Witness admitted that ho knew Euclid Mar
tin , Judge McHugh and Jimmy Sheehan.
They had never talked politics to him , nor
dictated the policy of his offlce. They had
never dictated to him in the matter of dis
charges or reinstatements. In regard to ex
cusing men for political purpose * Ayer de
nied that bo had ever excused a roan In. or *
der that ho might attend a. political meetIng -
Ing since the civil service rules want Into
effect. Ho was very positive that lie had
not excused any ono on April 11 , ISOfi , to at-
tenl a meeting of the democratic county
central committee. Ho did not , he said , tell
Murphy to go to abattoir No. 14 on the day
mentioned and ho never ordered Dr. Black-
well to send men to abattoir No. 14 to re
lieve Zcllar and Sherlock In order that they
might attend a committee meeting In Omaha ,
In conclusion , Dr. Ayer stated poettlvely that
he never practiced on sick horses or dogs
except after business hours.
Mrs. Ida lUiihnell came In for another
whirl after Don C. Ayer had made all these
confessions to the Inspector In a private
room. Sha contradicted nearly everything
her own witnesses testified to , even going BO
fir as to deny that she had rated the girls
In the microscopical department , The as
sistant mlcroscoplstfl proved , however , that
Mrs. BiiBhncIl did rate them. She did ad
mit the conversation with Dr. White In re
gard to the "Irish "
crew , but denied telling
the doctor he would be sorry for It. Wltiuu *
denied having talked with Euclid Martin In
regard to political muttcM. Martin has ,
however , testified lo a conversation with Mrs.
I ) mini ell In which politics was the principal
topic , I'aailng on to Dr. White , witness as-
aertcd that ho practiced during ofllco hours ,
but could not give days nor dates.
Miss Ktta Kassal was recalled ami related
a conversation wllh Mrs. Bushnell In which
the latter had told her that It Miss Mary
K. Olblln Old not have such a strong pull
with Kucllil Martin she would have been dis
missed when Miss Flyim and Mlsa Dallt.n
were let out. Witness said the system In
vogue during Dr. White's Incumbency was a
very good ono and that everything run like
clockwork.
Dr. Whlto was on the stand nearly all of
the afternoon. When called he asked that
the ( Joora be unbarred and that the shutters
be taken down. In fact he was willing to
admit the public , as he said ho had nothing
to testify to that he was ashamed of. This
plan did not strike Ed Sheldon as just the
proper caper and the populace waa not In
vited up to hear what the doctor had to
say. However , the doctor went prepared to
refute sotno of the statements mnrto by carry.
uifj In the room his day book and ledger , besides -
sides a number of letters from Secretary
Morton. Witness contradicted the state
ments made In regard to his having prac
ticed medicine during business hours. By hla
books , which he offered In evidence , he
showed tint the itays and dates named by
some of the wltncsarR were away off. In
the six cases of obstetrics , which It was re
ported hu had attended , his books showed
that the calls were made during the night.
The doctor related how Dr. Schlrmer and he
had gene down to Otoe county at the request
of Morton and had fixed up some of the sec
retary's political fences. Taking up the next
charge , which was to the effect that he bad
gone to Otoe county to perform a surgical
operation , thus neglecting his business , - witness
ness proved by the government records that
no work was being done by the microscopical
department nt that time nnd that ho was not
even required to turn In his time that month.
Regarding the two emergency cases which
witness attended professionally the doctor
explained that he considered It the duty of
any pbyalclati to render aid In such cases.
A letter from Morton was read In which wit
ness was given permission to use one of the
rooms In the building for a private ofllce In
order that he might practice medicine when
not otherwise engaged. Another letter wai
read from the secretary which closed as fol
lows : "I hope you will still continue to give
good and efllclent service to the govern
ment. "
Continuing , witness related a conversation
In which Ed Sheldon taunted him with not
having supported the administration ticket
and with not having attended the conven
tion whlcrt.nomlnated the Palmer and Buck-
ner electors.
The Investigation will be continued this
morning behind bolted and barred doors as
usual.
