Senate** Kyle aad Haatoa Testify

BUI—Batts Called a Wttaeae.
Washington, May 20.—The report of
the senate committee appointed to in
vestigate the charges of attempts to
bribe United States senators to vote
against the tariff bill and the chsrgeB
of improper influences being used in con
nection with the sugar schedule was sub
mitted to tbe senate to-day, so far as
concerns the attempted bribery of Sen
ators Hunton and Kyle. Tbe report af
ter reciting the facts of Butts's proffer
of money to the son of Senator Hunton
and to 8enator Kyle siys:
"Ycur committee are absolutely justi
fied in stating that the facts have beea
established by the evidence, notwlth
Blending the denial on the part of Charles
W. Butts. There is no evidence to stiow
the truth of Mr. Butts's statement to
Senator Kyle and Eppa Hunton, Jr., that
a syndicate of bankers and capitalists
had raised a sum of money to lie used
for the purpose of defeating the pending
ti iff bill, or that there was an agent of
bt ch a syndicate in Washington, and that
sny money was in Washington for that
pirpose. Butts denies that he made
any such statement, or that he had auy
knowledge of the existence of such a
syndicate, or that he was the agent or
representative of any one. He further
denies that he has any money himself."
Judge Dittenhoefer, counsel for Cor
respondent Edwards, appeared before the
sugar trust investigation to-day aud mi
ni unced that he had advised his client
not to give the committee the names of
persons from whom be received certain
information bearing upon the subject uu
er investigation. He quoted .the su
preme court decisions in the Kiibourne
and Counselman cases in sapport of his
poi.ition. Among other reasons Judge
Ditleuhoefer stated that for Mr. Edwards
to disclose the names of his informants
would be to degrade him as a uewspaper
man.
The committee overruled Judge Ditton
hoefer's objections and again called Mr.
Edwards in, repeated its demand that he
give the names requested in the first in
stance, and received his liual decision not
to comply with the demand. He was
then excused and the committee again
went into secret session. No decision as
to a future course of action was reached
to-day.
Senator Caffery aud ex-Congressman
Lefevere of Louisiana were before the
committee later in the day and absolute
ly denied the story of their participation
in the alleged conference with the sugar
trust people.
Washington, May 20.—Tlie senate com
mittee investigating the aliened iiiilueuce
of the sugar trust upon tariff legislation
was in secret session to-day considering
the subject of compelling witnesses to
din-lose the source of information.'
Mr. Walker, one it the corresiiondcnts,
expected to have Mr. Sul7.IT appear for
l.ini before the committee, bnt the com
mittee informed Mr. Walker that he
shculd not be wanted agaiu by the com
mittee. It is inferred from this state
ment that tlie committee has decided not
to hear any more from tho witnesses
until it shall decide on its course with
reference to their rcfLsal to answer ques
tions. Judge Dittenhoefer sent a com
munication to the committee asking if
Edwards and Shrivcr would be wanted
to-day. Senator Gray replied that the
called today, but furtlier lie" eoulcf not
say.
Washington, May 30. The right of
newspaper ^orrespoudei ts to .refuse to
gite Senator Gray's bribery aud sugar
investigating committee the sources of
their information was brought before the
senate in tbe shape of a report from
that committee.
Tbe leport, after reciting the resolution
by which tbe committee was authorized
to sit, states that E. J. Edwards, whose
"Holland" letter was one of the inciting
causes of this investigation, had re
fi led to reply to questions by tlie com
mittee. The chairman read him a por
tion of his letter in which he stated that
Secretory Carlisle had secretly visited the
Democratic members of the finance com
mittee and had demanded that tbe sugar
interest be taken care of because the
Democratic party was under obligations
to the sugar interests. The fact that
Correspondent Shrivcr refused to divulge
the name of his informant regarding a
recent meet inn of senators and repre
sentatives of the sugar interests was also
mentioned. The recommendation of the
committee is:
"In the opinion of the committee each
of the questions put to each of said wit
nesses was a proper question ami perti
nent to the question under inquiry be
fore tbe committee, and was necessary
to make the examination ordered by said
resolution of the seuate, and that each
of said witnesses is in contempt of the
senate, and ought to be dealt with for
his misconduct and that each of sniil
witnesses, by his various refusals to
answer the questions as herein set forth,
has violated the provisions of the act
of congress on such cuses made anil pro
vided, being chapter 7 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States."
Here the report sites this old law,
which provides that a witness who re
fuses to answer questions put by a con
Kressional committee shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by
a line of not more than $1,000 nor less
than $100, anil by imprisonment in a
common jail of not more thnn one year
nor less thnn a month. The report
closes as follows:
"Wherefore, the committee report and
request that the president of the senate
certify as to each witness his aforesaid
refusals to answer and all the facts here
in under the seal of the senate to tlie
United States district attorney of the
District of Columbia, to tlie cud that each
of the witnesses may be proceeded against
in manner and form provided by law."
The vice president refused to allow any
resolutions regarding the newspaper cor
respondence to be introduced, and held
that the presentation of the report was
privileged that tbe statute prescribed the'
duty of the chair, and upon demand of
the regular order stated that the tariO
bill was before the senate. This meant
tlmt the report will be certified to bj
the district attorney for proceedings
against Edwards and Shriver.
Senators Voorhees, Jones and Vest
were before the committee today anil
made a general denial of all e-harges that
the sugar trust had attempted to in
fluenre legislation.
Washington, June 1.—The cocmittcc
investigating the sugar ti ust resumed its
melon yesterday. Chairmun Gray says
the committee will continue its investi
gations, leaving tbe district attorney to
deal with the witneeses who refuse to
oit-ner. The committee examined Sena
tors Harris aud Mills and concludcel the
Siting for the day with the testimony of
Secretary Carlisle. The secretary denied
explicitly all the charges made in Mr.
Edward's letter, except one. This one
was the assertion that while conferring
with tbe committee, he (Carlisle) on one
occasion, at the suggestion of the mern
liers of the ('»ir.u|ittee, aud using their
figures, put a sugar schedule intei shape,
us he did other paragraphs in the bill.
This the secretary said he bad eloite
He declared that be hud not made such
a visit as he was represented as making
to the committee to demand that tbe
sugar interest be cared for in tbe tariff
l-ili because of the Democratic party's
obligation to the sugar trust.
The examination of Senators Harris
ti ml Mills completed tlie inquiry uinoug
members of the finance committee aud
senators who assisted ill tbe preparation
of the bill. Both seuators denied any
krowlenlge of the operations of the sugar
trust in connection with legislation, as
they also deuied that Mr. Curlisle hud
demanded protection for sugar. Senator
Mills was asked if it were true, as had
been reported, that Mr. Carlisle had given
Mr. Havemeyer. of the sugar trust,
Utter of iotrodttctioirto himself. He said
this was a.fact, but he haul declined to
teceive the letter.
It Is understood that the committee bas
come into possession of the name of the
wire manufacturer who is represented to
have overheard the convtrsatiou between
seuators and members of the sugar trust
while occupying an adjoining room at the
Arlington hotel, and that he will be sub*
poened to appear and make a statement.
Vice President Stevenson has signed
the certification of Shriver and Edwards
to the district attorney. This is the for
mal order made under the law of 1857,
under which it is proposed to try to pun*
1st Shriver and Edwards for refusiug to
testify.
Washington, .Tune 2. John Dew it
Warner of New York, a congressman and
free trader, was before the sugar in
vestigation committee linluy. By koum
it is believed Warner is the man to whom
the wire manufacturers told the story
about Huveiiie.ver uud Hrlee niuking a
deal. When Representative Warner an
nouueed before he was sworn his inten
tion of reserving the privilege as a mem
ber of the house of nuswering only such
questions as might be thought proper
&vetal times during his examination he
fell back upon this privilege and refused
to answer some of the questions which
were asked. The committee decided that
it has uo right to 'make a member of the
house testify Itefore senate coiumittce,
and all that it can do is to certify the
ftct to the other house.
It is stated on the best authority that
President Cleveland uud secretary Car
lisle have been in entire und perfect
hainotiy in all their actions in regard to
the tariff bill. Secretary Curlis!e*s part
in tho preparation of tlie sugar schedule
of that bill is officially stated as follows:
Si pa tor Jones culled u)ku and informed
him that the subcommittee had agreed
upon the sugar schedule aud requested
that he put it in proper form. This the
Mutiny did, the paragraph prepared be
ing one of a few lines. In the'afternoon
iu rcsi»ousc to a request of Senator
Jones, Secretary Carlisle visited the capi
tol aud was infcriucd that more changes
were under consideration, and, being re
quested to do ho, made some interlining
CarIisle""^rfeU'"'tttQn'rlh'e
'VtWI(AK,tfet *Vrx
his motion nnd insisted that a certain
schedule for sugar should be adopted, for
the l-ensou that the sugar trust had made
a liberal contribution to tlie Democratic
funds, is denied emphatically by the sec
retary.

with members of tlie house, who were
discussing the eveuts relating to tho
sugar duties. He was asked who these
members were, and in every iustance de
clined to give the names of uny of his
fellow members of the house. The com
mittee announced that the testimony
which Mr. Warner refused to give was of
a bci isuy character, and not of such im
portance that would warruut any co
erciouury methods to obtuiu. There is
expressed great desire to have the testi
mony that has receutly been takeu
priuted for use in tbe senate before the
vote is taken on the sugar schedule. The
points of most interest ate those rclutiug
to the testimony of Secretary Carlisle aud
others relating to the sugar schedule. The
point in Mr. Edwards' story as to how
the schedule was drawn, together with
certain proceedings ou a Sunday at the
capitol have becu denied by all witnesses.
Senator Jones has testified that he re
quested Secretary Carlisle to draw the
sugar schedule, and the secretary has
franikly said that he drew it. Senator
Mills has testified that Havemeyer canie
to him with a letter of introduction from
Secrttary Carlisle, but. that he did uot
see liavemeyer. The committee will not
go to New York to take testimony.
shed that it be discharged. The request
was srauted and immediately aftorw .rd
/lexandcr Denipti. suggested that a
mmittee ot leu lie appointed to take
the place of the Jischnrged committee,
bnt with unlimited power to act. Tli"
si'BS*stion was acted upon without much
disi sslon, and the following committee
was selected: M. H. Taylor, chairman
Thomas Young, U. A. Andrews, D. \V.
Schlendeberg, 1\ L. Itotbins, Alex Demp
ster, It. H. Boyle, John Iilythc, 1$. 11.
Biazncll and W. P. Dearinilt. The in
structions given the committee denote a
general will on the part of the strikers
to wind up tbe strike with nil possible
haste and at the best terms to be se
cured. The committee litis full power to
act for the Pittsburg operators, nnd eau
settle for. the district at any time tliey
mny see fit. This is a decided chauge
of miud on the part of the operators as
expressed at the Cleveland conference,
and taken together with the favorable
aspect of affairs in Illinois seems to in
dicate that the cud of the great strike
is near at hand.
Oskaloosa, Iowa, May 30.—'The camps
of the striking miners increased to about
(S00 men near here to-day, but no out
bieak has occurred yet. The governor
has placed the national guard at the
disposition of the sheriff uud a lurge
number of deputies armed to preserve
pence. The mcst of the men are now
camped here from the southern portion
of the state and talk very loudly about
what they intend to do. Most of them
are foreigners and seem determined to
have a row, aud most of the workiug
iniuers are anxious to aiccminodatc them.
The adjutaut general is making all need
ful preparations to meet auy trouble.
Minonk, III., May 30.—The coal strike
this place, so far as any active dem
onstration is conceited, is thought to lie
pructicully over. All of the militia is now
gone and Sheriff Toole has discharged
nearly all of his deputies. At Weuoiiu
and Lasalle to-day everything is quiet.
Cripple Creek, Colo., May 31.—A heavy
dowpocr of rain has made the ro uls al
most imiNissible. It is not believed the
(riny of dtputies will move until to

simultaneously. It is said they have

Oskaloosa, Iowa, May 31.—Tlie strike
situation is practically unchanged, but
the outside strikers have been making
such threats of what will be done to
morrow that Adjt. Prime has railed out
feir.^piiuwtteg Thuy.. jvill
ing miners will be protected aud the
•Lines will run to-morrow. Italians and
Austrians are coming In from Seymour
to aid tbe strikers, and a general rally
is threatened, but pence will be preserved
and the hot heads eared for. Mayor
John Lopcr of Des Moines bas command
of the triops. Gen. Prime remains here.
Columbus, Oliio, May 31.—The trouble
at Gloucester has been settled iieaceably.
A telegram was received at the gov
ernor's office from Sheriff Riley of Ath
ens county, stating that the Toledo &
Ohio Central railway had agreed to
capitulate to the miners and iio more
West Virginia coal would be hauled dur
ing the strike. The sheriff asked that
the call for troops be revoked. Five
companies of the Seventeenth regiment
were under arms ready to proceed to
Gloucester, and Battery It of Columbus
was ou its way to the uuion depot wlu
the news of the settlement of the troublv
wus received.
Pana, 111., May 31.—The striking min

The call stated that the meeting was a
Joint one of miners and operators and
millers, but the former failed to put in
an appearance.
Sprifigtield, June 1.—The coal operators
conference was called to order with C.
C. Blown of this city as chairman aud
Paul Morton of Chicago secretary. Foriy
operators were prestnt. The central and
southern operators were not present, and
suid they would not go into the confer
ence uuless the consolidated and larger
operators did. The smaller operators
were afraid of being speexed by tlie larger
ones. The conference adjourned without
Ctiou und the tight is now on to the fin
ish and there will be no coinpiuuiise.
Danville, 111., June 1.—Matters are get
ting desperate with the strikiug miners
iu the Danville field. Many of the fami
lies are starving. Itelief committees can
vass the farmers for fifteen miles Tor
something to eat. St. Klizabeth hospital
of this city is out of coal acd its patients
are suffering for want of food and
warmth. The miners refuse to allow the
sisters coal. They propose to stop all
trains carrying coal and are stopping
freight trains and examining the box curs
to sec if they contain coal.
Sotdale, Pa., June 1.—Tbe situation
in the coke region is quiet nnd pcutenhlc.
The strike leaders say the governor's
iroclaination was not intended to sup
press meetings and marchings any more
than it was to do away with the deputies
and their Winchesters. Meetings of the
strikers will continue as usual. Two car
loads of negroes were imported last night
for the Frick Standard plant, and forty
two Austrians have been run into tho
Moyer works of tho Rainey compuny.
Birmingham, Ala., June 1.—The com
mittee appointed by the citizens' mass
meeting to confer with the operators' and
miners' committee, with a view of adjust

osition of 20 per cent reduction. Tlie
operators believe they have about won
the fight, but tbe strikers are frm yet.
Cripple Creek, Col., June 1.—The war
clouds that hover over Bull Hill and
Bi-ttle Mountain look very threatening.
A rumor bas reached the camp that the
deputies are preparing to advance toward
Bull Iiill, and the miners are preparing
to give them a warm reception. There is
no truth in the rumor that tlie miners
havo ft lot of deputies prisoners. The
strikers are making prisoners of men
Whom they consider dangerous to their
safety, and it is stated that fifty persons
are t|tus held iu custody,
Osktiloosn, Iowa, June 1,—The prosencr
Of the military companies at Evans yes
terday seemed to dishearten the strikers
for a time, but they rallied from their
surprise und inarched to this city iu a
body, where a great mass meetiug was
held iu tlie public square. The speakers
disclaimed any iuteution to do violence,
and scored the calling out of the troops.
It was asserted that it was nut a strike,
but merely a suspension of lalior, ami
that they proposed to stand firm until
the demauds were satisfied ill other
fields.
Keokuk, Iowa, June 1.—A delegation
of strikers marched from Centerville to

Hermann H. Dlckmann Sentenced for
Hla Terrible Crime.
St Paul, June 1.—Merniaun H. Dick
mann, who was indieted on a charge of
ineest with his daughters, was arraigned
in the criminal court before Judge Kerr
and pleaded guilty. lie was seutenced
to ten yeurs iu Stillwater. Tbe prisouer
is fifty-five years of age, and is in failing
health, so the sentence is not so light as
it would appear. It practically amounts
to a life senteuce. In making his plea
he asked that clemency be shown to his
seveutoen-yeur-old sou, who is under in
dictmeut for assault upon him. He con
fessed that the boy did right in shooting
him. Henry Johns, who acted as liek
uiann*s counsel, said that the old man
realized the enormity of his offense and
was willing to stand punishment for it.
In passjug senteuce upon the prisoner
Judge Kerr suid that he took into consid
eration the second indictment against him.
He spoke of the revolting nature of the
crime, no revolting that he could hardly
trust himself to speak dispassionately of
it. Mrs. Dickinann, his wife, who has
uot lived with the defendant since she
began to suspeet him of having unnatu
ral relations with his daughters, was in
the outer room when the prisoner was
brought to the bur with her two daugh
ters. They did not seem to regret the
sentence passed upou the unnatural hus
baud aud futlier.

Mirplete it in time to take up the sugur
ftrbtdtilc to-morrow. Late Saturday the
lead paragraph was taken up. During
Ihe com«e of the debute Senator Hill
made a siieech. The tariff bill, he said,
bad never uiet his views uud did not
now, but he wus iu favor of speedy ac
tion uiKin it. Mr. Hill in conclusion de
clared that he pioposed to lie consistent
to himself in his udvocucy of free raw
material uud be pro|»osed to place those
who were not on tecord. Mr. Vest iu
reply explains! that the duty fixed was
the rate of tbe Mills bill that the iues
tlou of duty on lend ore was a question
between the miners und the suielters
representing the leud trust und that as
between the two the committee hud dis
criminated iu favor of the miners. The
vote on Hill's motion to place lead ores
on the free list was defeated—ayes, 15
iinycs, 52. Mills, Hill ami Irby were

against Hill's motion.
This wus District of Columbia day iu
the house.
Washington, May 20. The senate
ipent eight hours to-day discussing the
question of free lumber. Not vote was
t-ikcn. The tariff bill places lumber iu
Ihe rough on the free list. The debute
to-day ou Mr. Hale's proposition to trans
fer lumber to the dutiuble list at the
rates fixed iu the McKinley law was
the feature. Senators Frye and Hale of
Maine und Perkins of California, Mitch
ell uud Dolpli of Oregon, whose states are
most particulurly affected in the lumber
industry, occupied the major iortion of
the time iu the support of Mr. Hales
iimcudinciit. It is probable that the lum
ber paragraphs will be disposed of to
iucitcw. Sugar, upon which the hard
est lighting iu the bill will occur, fol
lowed. Mr. Walsh, the new senator from
(Georgia, delivered a carefully prepared
speech on the general subject of the
tarilf.
An interesting event of the day in the
house was a reading of a letter from the
sons of Louis Kossuth in reply to the
letter recently sent by Speaker Crisp un
der direction of the house. The senate
bill to tix the northern boundary line ot
the Warm Springs Indian reservation iu
Oregon, was passed, as were stiudry
house bills.
Washington, May .'10.—Senator Petti
grew made the principal speech in op
position to the tariff bill. He was lis
tcued to attentively by the seuators aud
spectators. The senute then resinned
consideration of the lumber paragraph
of Ihe tarilf bill and Mr. Squire lUcp
Wash.) addressed the senate iu opposi
tion to free- lumber. Mr. Hale then of
fered un amendment to place a uniform
duty of $1 ou all li mhcr. Defeated.
.Mr. Alleu of Nebraska moved to place
all lumber, shingles, boards, etc., used iu
tho building of residences upon the free
list. Without action on Mr. Allen's
amendment the senate adjourned.
In the house a message from tin* pres
ident was received transmitting a dis
patch from Minister Willis ut Hawaii.
It contaius nothing specially new or im
portant. Mr. Johnson (Uep., Ind.) mudc
au argument iu favor of a substantial
stable currency, nnd was followed by
state bank bill. Before' Mr. Blacl? fin
ished his speech the committee rose uud
the bouse adjourned.
Washington, June 1.—When the tariff
Aill was takeu up in the senate several
mm lid men ts offered to the lumber para
graphs, looking to a duty ou rough lum
ber, were voted down by a strict party
vote. Seuator Allen moved to strike out
paragraph ITS, as follows:
"Lumber of any sort, planed or tiu
islied on each side, 50 cuits per thousand
feet, hoard measure, and if planed ou
ou.' side and tougucd und grooved $1 per
thousand, aud if plan*d on two sides aud
tohgiicd aud grooved, $1.50 per thoiisaud,
ami iu estitu uiug board measure uiider
this schedule uo rcductiou shall be made
account of plauing, grcoving or tongue
ing."
Seuator Vest surprised the Ufpublicans
when he announced that the amendment
would be accepted on the Democratic
side. As the amendment to the lumber
schedule was being voted ou without de
bate, under mi agreement made on
Wednesday, the vote was immediately
takeu und it was agreed to IU to 24. a
strict party vote. Mc^rs. PetTer and
Alleu (Pops.) voted iu favor of it. Thi
will have the effect of putting all lumber
(II the free list.
The sugar schcdul** of the taritf bill
was reached, and Senator Sherman of
Ohio took the floor. Senator Sherman,
in the course of his remarks, asserted
that if President Harrison had he^n re
elected, and there had been uo fear of
tariff tiukering, the .McKinley law would
have yielded sutlicieut r-'venue. The tall
of silver and increased demand for gold
had Noiuethiug to do with the present
lmuncial depression, which had been add
ed to by fear of tariff tinkering. He
also declared that the South was coming
urouud from its doetriue that protection
was unconstitutional.
The senate. Senator Mills alone voting
••no." passed a resolution declaring that
the Cnited States will not interfere with
the affairs of the Hawaiian islands, and
that the I'nited States will regard iutcr
feteitce with the affairs of the islands hy
any foreign power as an unfriendly act.
