Ei Pares wo Ka SnirStoch. - Washington, June KUMany Senators were examined today by the Senatorial committee engaged in investigating the relations between the 8ugar Trust and Senators. When the committee adjourned it had heard the testimony of 74 of the 85 members of the Senate. The eleven who are yet to be examined are: Butler, Cameron, Dixon, Gor man, Irby, Mitchell, of Oregon; Pettigrew, Walsh, Washburn, Wil son and Wolcott. Most of these are out of town, andSSenator Wolcott is still in Paris. ; For some time past there hare been rumors that Senator Bansom, of North Carolina, had been specu lating in sugar stock, but the repu tation for integrity held by him has effectually prevented their publica tion. Tod ay the basis for these ru mors was Bhown by the statement of the Senator to J,he committee that his son, George, who is his clerk, and Captain Barnes, his messenger, had invested small sums in bucket shops. The explanation of General Bansom was a complete vindication for him . from the accusations con tained in the rumors. Nearly all the Senators who testi fied today made negative answers to the questions prepared by the com mittee, and were allowed to go with out further examination. All those, however, whose names had . been mentioned by witnesses in connec tion with sugar legislation were questioned at length. - They were the membeis of the finance commit tee and Senators Smith, of New Jersey, Murphy, of New York, and a few others. The categorical Ques tions asked by the committee of ev ery Senator who appeared before it 'fere as follows: ' "Have you giyen any informa tion, directly or indirectly, to any one interested in sugar, stocks, so called, or in the stock of the Ameri can Sugar Refining Company, that was intended or calculated to affect its value f "Have you bought or sold, direct ly, or indirectly, since the begin ning of this session of Congress, any so-called sugar stock or stocks, or stock certificates of the American Sugar Beflning Company f "Have you been concerned with anyone interested, directly or indi rectly, contingent or otherwise, in any operation whether by purchase or sale oi saia siocks or certmuaitw i .'Sas apyqne feopgbji or sold for your accopnt or your interest guoh stocks, or speculated in any of such stoSks on your account, or given you to understand that you would share in the profits of any operation in 8uchBtocks, or placed any money to yoapredit as the proceeds of the purchase oir sale of toncfe stgckf, or promised or . agreed to place such money to your credit? "Has any member of your family or any person in your employ or any clerk employed under the laws of the United States in your service, been, to your knowledge, interested, in any of the ways indigate.d in. any of the preceding questions, in any transaction in sugar stocks or ces tificates during the period mention ed? "Have you, or has any member of your family, owned or held certifi cates of the American Sugar Refin ing Compapy during tge period heretofore mentioned f. Have you, at any time, been con nected with the American Sugar Refining Company, or hay yu at any time been m its employ -as at torney, agent or, otherwise?" SE2JJ.TOB BAKSOM'S TESTIM02JT. The testimony of Senator $an$Qm is ns follows: .; Chairman Gray asked Mr. Bansom the questions aa follows: "Haa any member of your family or any per son in your employ,or any clerk em ployed under the laws of the United States in your service, been, to ypar knowledge, interested in any pf the ways indicated in any of the pre ceding questions, in any transaction in sugar stocks or certificates during the period mentioned ?" , Mr. Bansom MJ want to make a statement. 0n last Thursday night, the 14th, Mr. Holland, the corres pondent of the New York Prw, sent me his card and called to see me at my rooms at the Metropoli tan, with a stenographer by the name ' of Robinson- He EBked ma questions very like thpsa that yon put to me now. v I mean the sub stance of them. He then informed me that the New York Prett did not wish to 4o me or any Senator an injury withopt gi?ipg,Pf n ffiP?' tnnity to be heard and p.e felt ft to be h8 dty to tell me that they had in their possession or he had, - or somebody had, a banker's scrip I do not know that he called it scripnpon which were recorded the purchases of different gepjlemen or different' persons in buying stocks, an that, upon that scrip, 4 had been a frequent pnrphaserof su gar stock i this pity i9? Sar debate here. J protested to hip is positifely as a man was capable of doing that it was impossible that it could be so; that I never owned one cent of certificate or piece of certificate of sugai ' Btock m y lej that in fact since I had been in tue Senate, J had never, traded m, one dollar's worth of stock of - any .sort Jnanjrwsyy shape or form, ; I insisted unon his rrmtmt t.hahm. ker, He told me. u pon my as k i ng him, that it was Silsby & Company, who had a house near seventh street, on Pennsylvania avenue, and that these things were "certainly true. I told him to telegraph to his paper at once that there was not a word of truth in it; that there was no foun dation for it;lt was without even a shadow. "He asked me he seemed to be in earnest, and doubtless was he asked me if this could be the work of some malicious enemy of mine- I told him I could hardly believe that, but I could not account for it to save menow it was possible. I said:- I would be glad if you would see this broker again before you in dulge in any publication of this sort and find out sif this information is not absolutely without foundation, as false as it can be. "He said he would do that, and then said: v"Well, general, this ia a very clear statement of yours;' or 'Senator, this is a very clear state ment of yours. Do You know. of any other person by the name of Ban som in the city? "I told him I knew of but one person in the city by the name of Bansom now, and that was my son George, who waa my clerk. He ask ed me where he was, and I said: 'He is in the parlor now; I left him there, when I got your card, talking with some ladies. I will step in, and bring him here to that you ca?i examine him in a minute.' I was, perhaps more cautious than the oc casion required, and I said: 'I would thank y u to come with me to the door here so you , can see that no communication takes plaoe between me and my son.' I went to the parlor door, where my son George was, and beckoned hfm to come in. I did not speak to him or see him between the parlor and my room and when he got in my room I asked the gentlemen to state their business to him and toid my son whatever the matter was to tell the truth about it. "He then stated to those persons in my presence that he had bought seme sugar stock on the 17th or 18th of 4prih He put up a margin of $10, which he paid the broker on sugar stock. He said that on the samo day beput up a margin of 25 on cotton. He saia he lost the mon ey on the cotton and made $10 on the sugar. That afterwards he re peated the bet on sugar, not on cot ton; and I think he lost' the second time. He then stated that he and Capiajn Barnes, a messenger here at the" commerce committee ropm (Senator Ransom's committee) after that, on two occasions, bought $10 worth of sugar stock apiece; they went in together, and I asked this correspondent to - examine my son fully as mnch as he pleased and to too. 'About two. weeks ago 'Captain Uarnes came to me at my room in the committee of commerce. He ia a messenger of the committee, a North Carolinian, and has been here for some time, and he told me he bad Qmething lP f?H SQd it was rough that a particular friend of his had told him that they had a paper on which my name was down fer so muoh sugar stock and that I was deeply in it. I told him how false it was, absolutely false, and asked him to go to bis friend and tell jjim the same tiing! nd. tp in sist upon his inquiring into it and let me know in what shape and. form it was, what it meant, and how it was. Tle next day he came to me and told me his friend bad looked, into it and thought there was nothing in it, and I told him he must look into it thoroughly to see ana know tUat'tberi was noth ing in' it) that I could not live if there was anything of that sort - in anybody's breast about1 me, and ne must go and see. He returned the next morning and told me his friend gaid it waa a myth, all nothing, and not to give myself any concern about it; that he was Tery much gratified to know who it was. ?Tfie correspondent asked me the name of that person and I told him it was given to me in confidence and I hd no right to give tpe pame without-Captain parnea' consent, but I have, no objection to giving the name of the committee. I have seen Mrl Howland about it. I just this minute sent for him and told him that I should ask the commit-, tee to summon him to give the ac count of his interview with me to you. I may hot have stated cor rectly as to details of this purchase by my son. I asked him yesterday morpjng to go, tp fhe broker shop and get' a paper to show the exact transaction, and be ; ready - to . come before the committee." The Chairman "Had yon any knowledge whatever until this in terview with Mr Howland, l on the evening you speak of, of the. bets of yiaiur soq'with. the broker In sugar and cotton r ' Senator Ransom "I neyer dream-, ed of such a thing, I never thought pf it. would not haTe believed it. The truth of it is I went to my son with a great L deal of r confidence, wuep this correspondent wanted to gee him. 4 PP shows that, when he bought the first stock I was out Of the city. . The 18th of April was when we were at Governor Yance's funeral at Asheville. I may state to the committee hat I hate no in terest whatever and never have had any in any stock or trade or any thing else in any way since I . have been in the Senate."

That they are doing so is a sure sign tht they are advancing in everything that makes a State great and pros perous. The commencement tea son is about over, and the press of the State haa noticed tery fully the exercises at the different colleges and seminaries. And North Caro lina has reason to be proud of her higher educational institutions. They compare farorably with those of any other State, both in number and educational advantages. Their graduates are as well equipped for studying any one of the Jearned professions or for entering upon the duties of life as those of the . more pretentious institutions of some of the other States. - There is no rea son why the girls and boys of North Carolina should be sent to -Northern educational institutions. They can find in their own State schools that can offer them all the advan tages that can be obtained else where. And the increased interest that is being taken in the common schools is very gratifying. This awaken ing interest in common schools r if shown in the gradually increasing appropriations for common school purposes. But the approptiations are not yet anywhere as large ' as they should be. Better school -houses and a higher grade of teachers are greatly needed. And it is important that the schools should be kept open nine months of the year. To accomplish these re forms money is required, and a great deal of it. The people must be taught that they cannot put their money to a better use than that of build m; up the common school sys tem. They must invite taxation for that purpose. If they give their children a good common school education they will give them something that will be of more benefit to them than the money they may leave themi because a good education is something w that smnot be lost and is always avail able in earning a living. And just in proportion as the common schools are improved will the State prosper. A good class of immigrants will seek homes where there are churches and first-class schools, which are the signs of an advanced civilization, and which are recognized to be such by all. Where they are comfort able homes and a thrifty and pros perous people are Burs t$ foRud, Wis Making Progriss. Detroit Frea Press.

The man's wife had asked him to go upstairs and look in the pocket of her dreas for a key she thought was there, and, being a man willing to accommodate, he had done so. It was a long time until he return ed, and when he did there was a pe culiar look in his eyes. "1 can t find any key in the dress of your pocket," ho - said, with a painful eijort "Why," she retorted, sharp! v. "I left it there." "I say I can't find anv dress in the pocket of your key," he said doggedly. His tone seamed to disturb her. "You didn't half look for it." she insisted- "I tell you I can't find any pock et in tb.8 key of your dress," he re plied in a dazad "kind of way. This time she iojked at him. "I say," he said, speaking with muoh effort, "that I can't find any dreas in the key of your pocket." She got up and went over to him. "Oh, William," she groaned, "have you been drinking?" He looked at her leerily. "I tell you I can't find any pocket in the dress of your k.ey,y he whis pered ' ' She began to shake him." What's the matter? What's the matter ?" sho asked, in alarm.

I can't find any dresa in no, I can't find any key in the dress of no, that's not it; any -any any pocket. There, that's it," and a flood of light came into his face. "Confound it, I couldn't find, any pocket." , Then he sat down and laughed hysterically, and his wife, wonder ing why in the name of goodness men raised such a row over finding the pocket in a woman's dress, went upstairs and came back with the key in two minutes.
