He Denies all the Newspaper Articles as to Agreement I Vet ween Ills Company and Senators ITaa Never Heen the President Hi Company Contributed Nothing to the Dem ocratic Campaign Fund. Washington, June 12. Mr. Henry O. Havemeyer, of New York, president of the American Sugar Refining company, known as the Sugar trust, in response to a subpoena from the Senatorial commit tee, appeared before the committee this morning as a witness. It was agreed some time ago that he should be called, but the committee decided to get all the information possible from other sources concerning his connection with the pres ent tariff legislation before placing him on the stand, in order that hs examina tion might be complete and thorough. The examinations of Messrs. Terrell, Chapman and Reed were conducted with particular reference to forming a basis for questioning Mr. Havemeyer, who is regarded as the most imp rtant witness that has appeared before the committee. He was accompanied to Washington by F. S. Parsons, Esq.. the chief attorney for the trust, and James C. Carter, Esq.. of New York, who will represent him as counsel. Cord Meyer, of New i ork, was al-o of the party. He will -be questioned closely about the alleged contributions of the trust to the Democratic campaign fund. Mr. Havemeyer was the only witness examined to-day. His answers to ques tions were curt and he did not offer to give information that was not requested. He showed he had no respect for titles in eliminating them altogether in speaking of Senators and others, and he cause some astonishment among the members of the committee by the statement that he had never seen President Cleveland. Senator Gray read the statement con tained in the Philadelphia Press that the witness was present in the summer of lfc'J2, after Mr. Cleveland's nomination, with Mr. Benedict, either on his yacht or in conversation at Greenwich, Conn., where Mr. Havemeyer resides, consult ing about the sugar interests as they were affected by the situation in the Hawaiian islands. "There is not a word of truth in it," said Havemeyer. He also denied the allegations in the Press article that the ugar trust was organized with reference to its influence on the two great political parties. In regard to the statement that the trust, on the whole, is a Democratic association, the witness said it was not so. The chairman I have already asked you about the conversation Mr. Edwards alleged you had with Mr. Cleveland, either in Greenwich, or on the yacht in the summer of 1892 or the summer of 1893. Did you ever have such conversa tion anywhere' Mr. Havemeyer I never exchanged a word with Mr. Cleveland or was in his company in my life, and ' I have never seen the man. .The chairman You have never seen him ? Mr. Havemeyer I have never seen Mr. Cleveland either in New York or elsewhere. Nor have I ever exchanged a word with Mr. Benedict on the subject of sugar, or any other business matter whatever. With reference to the statement in the Press about a meeting between Senators and Sugar trust men in Mr. Terrell's room in the Arlington hotel, Mr. Have meyer said some time in March he was in Terrell's room when Senator's Brice and Smith, and Mr. H. L. Reed, of Bos H. L. Reed, of Bos There was nothing tan xxrorft TYrKent in that interview about the obligations t - . of the Democratic party to the Sugar trusr Ho had been requested to go to Terrell said: "Here is an opportunity to tell one of the Senators what you know about f-iurar. He sent lor bis sample boxes of suszar and delivered a lecture I on the s-ubject. Senator Smith came in later and the witness made som - allusion to the wrangling he and Senator Brice had about sugar. The chairman You said you" had been having a wrangle with Senator Brice over sugar? Mr. Havemeyer Brice and I got hot over the matter before we finished it. The chairman In what way, and on what account? Mr. Havemeyer I said something about the Democratic party that he took umbrage at, I thought. The chairman What was said? Mr. Havemeyer I said that the Dem ocratic party were put into power, not to destrov any indumy, but to take suit able and proper care of every industry, and that this selection of the frugar re fining industry of the United Statts for attack was infamous as a party pro ceeding. The chairman Was that the matter about which ycu had what you call the wrangling? Mr. Havemeyer That is the matter over which we'got rather hot. The chairman Wt at aid senator ince Mr. Havemeyer Brice said he thought the Democratic. party felt disposed to be about the matter, dui aia noi ap- rn n :i v t' .inn iaaj t " vv. the incubus of the Sugar trust he was not particularly interested ; no waa tint an inausio m ms State, but as a Senator he did want to do what was fair and right in the matter, and would like to hear further exposi tion of the subject. The chairman Was that all that was said? Mr. Havemeyer i es sir. The chairman Was anything said at the time about the indebtedness of the Democratic party to the Sugar trust, so-called? Mr. Havemeyer No, sir. When Smith, came the conversation on ugar had ceased and the subject was not again referred to. The talk wa merely desultory. The chairman Was there any state ment made by you. or anybody else there, or Senator Smith, or Senator Brice, that the bill would be beaum if sugar did not get fair treatment? Mr. Havemeyer No sir. The chair-nan Did you. on that o ca? ion or any other occasion, turn to Senator Smith -and ask him bluntly, or otherwise, what he was going to do to maintain the pledges of the party lead ers to the euzar men and to secure a satisfactory schedule? Mr. Havemeyer No m The chairman Did Senator Smith then, or any other time, reply to you or say to you that he did not see what he could then do. but there was always this consolation, that if they could not secure the schedule they wanted, they could surely defeat the bill, leaving the present law operative ? Mr. Havemeyer No. The witness denied positively the alle gation of a meeting at the Capitol one Sunday between members of me Sugar trust, Democratic members of the Fi nance committee and the Louisiana Senators. Senator Caffery had not drawn any sugar schedule while the witness looked over his shoulder. He said the American Sugar Refining company had never made any contribution to the Democratic National committee. He had aleo seen Senator Jones of Arkansas, who was a member of the Finance com mittee and explained to him the necessity for an ad valorem duty. He had said noth ing to him about the indeb:edness of the uemocratic party to tne hugar trust or those interested in sugar refineries. "No such indebtedness exists, and I never alluded to any in any conversation with anybody at any time" said Havemeyer. On one occasion Senator Brice sent for the witness and he went to the Senator's house, where he met Senator Cafferv, and they had a talk over suear. The witness told Senator Caffery exactly what he had told to other Senators, and also that it was to the advantage of Louisiana to have the form of duty ad valorem, irrespective of what the rate was. "Mr. Caffery told me that he was satisfied his people wanted specific rates. That is about the substance of the con versation.'1 Miners Dissatisfied With the Settle ment. Terre Haute, Ind. June 12. The reports from the Indiana bituminous min ing district are to the effect that the men are seriously opposed to accepting the terms agreed upon by their delegates at the Columbus conference. While the agreement Is looked upon as the begin ning of the end, yet the end, in fact, is not so near as the general, public may suppose. The price fixed for Indiana is a reduction of 10 cents per ton. j Columbus. Uhio, June 13. lhe re ports of the way the settlement of the strike in this district is received by the miners are not at all encouraging to the .National Miners officers, but they hope mat on mature deli Deration the miners will think better of the agreement, j Wheeling, W. Va., June 12. Ex treme disatisfaction prevails among the miners throughout this section over the strike settlement. The leaders of the miners say that fully 8,000 votes will be cast by the miners of this section against tne ratification or the compromise. j Mure riase tsarnine. Birmingham, Ala., June 12. Another bridge has been burned, and excitement I in railroad circles1 is running hi h. At ....... . .1 6 o ciock this mormngtwenty-hve armed and masked men went to a bridge on the j Georgia Pacific railroad near Cardiff, covered the watchman with pistols and drove him off. They then poured oil on the structure and set fire to it. After it had gained great headway they left. The watchman, in the meantime, had secured section nanas, and seeing the coast clear, came back and extin guished the flames, but not until three bents had burned away. The railroad companies have secured rifles and are placing heavy detachments of men at the many bridges to drive off lhe van dals. The men who burned this bridge are supposed to be the same who at tempted to burn the Chinn trestle on the Mineral branch eary yesterday. The President's Condition. Washington, June 12. President Cleveland has suffered more or less from dysentery during the past three weeks and the excessively hot weather that has prevailed during the past two days has aggravated his trouble so that to day, by the advice of Surgeon R. M. Orrilly, of the army, who has been in attendance, the President denied himself to all visi tors except the members of his Cabinet, who held their 'regularly bi-weekly meeting in his office from 11 to 1 o'clock. The doctor has now insisted upon the ! temporary abandonment of the enormous amount of tedious detail work with which Mr. Cleveland is always busied, and until he is perfectly well the patient, under the doctor's orders, must deny himself to the numerous visitors who ab sorb a lare part of his time. Unless the President is much improved in the next few days, it Is very likely that he will go away from Washington on a brief visit to Gray Gables in order to recuperate. The Correspondents to be Indicted. Washington, June 12. The grand jury has decided to return true bills against John S. Shriver, Washington correspondent of the New York Mail and Exjjress, and E. J. Edwards, New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, for refusing to give the sources of their information to the Senatorial in vestigating committee in regard to state ments about the Sugar trust and Demo cratic Senators, and the United States District attorney is engaged in prepar ing the indictments. He has notified Messrs. Shriver and Edwards to anoear before the Criminal court on Saturday to answer to the indictments and to eive bail or go to jail, j TOO HOT FOR WORK. NO PROGRESS MADS ON THE . T TARIFF BILL. OnlyFewF ttort Irrent Senator Quay Tre ihem to tbe Seventh Inta.lme. i of Ills Anti-Tar iff Speech rand for Home; lor Afcel Nejjroe n Unfortunate lot- maater. ) ' SENATE. 1 Washington, June 12. If any prog ress was made to-day in the direction of a final vote on theTariil bill it must have been in private consultation such as those which yesterday removed all ob structions from the path of the cotton schedule. In the public open session there was not a step of progress made. Dur ing the greater part of the day the seats of the Senators were mostly vacant; the Chamber presented a deserted appear- ance; tnere were on ly a rew muess spec tators iri the galleries: the atmosphere was oppressively hot and stilling, and.no one made a pretense even of taking the least interest in any of the half dozen epeecheiread to the Senate. It was, on the whole, the most tediously wearisome day that) has passed since Jthe Tariff bill was takqn up in the Senate ten weeks ago. The Tariff bill was taken up, the wool and woolen schedule having been reach ed at yesterday's adjournment. The first paragraph was read, and Senator Peffer sent to the clerk's desk and hd read the amendment which he proposed to offer to the paragraphs as to wool. It is to insert the provisions of the existing law as to raw wool, except that the duties are reduced 40 per cent. ! The first paragraph in the House bill was in fthese words: "Wool of, the sheep, hair of the camel, goat, alpaca and other like animals in the form of stubbing waste, roving waste.ring waste, mungo, shoddies, garneted or carded waste, carbonized noils or other waste product, ( any of which is composed wholly or in part of wool, the hair of camel, goat, alpaca, and other like l ani mals, winch has been improved or ad vanced beyond its original condition as waste by;the use of machinery, or the application of labor, or both, and car bonized "wool, shall be subject to a duty of 15 per cent ad valorem." The paragraph was reported by the Senate Finance committee without amendment, but subsequently, Senator Jones, on behalf of the committee, re ported as amendment striking- ou the paragraph, so as to have those classes of 1 111 . r l-i. 1 wool lnciuaeu m me iree list paragrapu as to all wool. It is that amendment which is pending. Senator McMillan argued in favor of duties on wool, and gave his assent to Senator fetfers amendment to re-enact the existing rates, with a deduction of 40 per cent. ! Senator Quay then took the floor and delivered the seventh portion of the tariff speech which he began on the fourteenth of April last. He had ! pro vided himself with a volume of 157 nrintednao-es for the dav. but he vielded me floor readily to anybody who chose tn lntpirnnf him. Senator Mitchell I more that the bill be indefinitely postponed, and I call for the yeas and nays. The vote waa taken and the motion was defeated veas. di nays. w, a Btri.tlv Dartv vote the three PoDulists. Allen, Kyle and Peffer, voting with the Democrats in the negative. Senator Quay proceeded with I his speech, and was reading it in a monot onous voice, when at 3;15 o'clock Senator Hoar remarked, with a touch of dry humor, that he thought it very queer there should be a quorum of Senators present to listen to it. There was then not a dozen Senators in the Chamber. In the course of a speech in favor of protection to the wool grower. Senator Peffer suggested that a compromise be made between the wool grower and the wool manufacturer, and said that then there would be no difficulty about the Tariff bill. The farmers did not want, he said, to be unreasonable or threatening, but they insisted that they were just as much entitled to protection as the manu facturers were. He wanted only 20 per cent, for them. Senator Harris expressed the hope that the Senate would make better progress to-morrow than it had done to-day. I Senator Piatt We all hope so. I Senator HaTis I am glad that we do all hope so and I hope that we willall concur in the effort. I move that the Senate do now adjourn. And the Sen ate at 6 o clock adjourned until to-morrow.

COMMERCIAL NEWS- Blocks and Bond in New York The Grains and Provision Markets of Chicago. New York, June 12 There tea a firm opening to the railway ami raic?l. Ian ecus share speculation on th an nouncement of the settlement of the ot coal strike. Most of the buying, however. was for the account of the thoru rbo had sold the market yesterday on tbe be lief that the reduction in the New Uavcn dividend from 10 to b t-r cent, would result in more or less liquidation in the general lit. London came higher, but the foreigners bought few blocks or bonds, j The early advance was equal to i to i per cent., the Grangers. Chicago Gas, Louisville and Nashville, General Electric, Missouri Pacific and Northern Pacific, preft-rred, iH-ing most prominent. In the afternoon a weaker tone prevailed and there was moderate selling of Burlington . and Quincy and St. Paul. The decline in the" first named i from 79j to 76 i wa aM-nlwd to New England liquidations, but shrewd observers thought the filing could be traced nearer home, and that it was principally for the short account. The announcement that the St, Paul and Rock Island had applied to the Stock Exchange to list new bonds was used against the Grangers. The decline in railway stocks outside of Burlington and Quincey was only i to J per cent. In the last hour the list improved all around and left off firm. American Sugar wa the most active stock of the d iy, 72,700 shares changing hands. St. Paul came next with 14,600. Burlington and Quincy figured for 13,900 and Chicago Gai for 8,200, but no other stock on the list reached a total of 5,000. Sugar as usual was very erratic. It first declined f per cent. to"l02$, rose to 105$ and recede l to 104 and closed at 104$. Covering of short contracts and manipulations account for the gyrations, as Washington news wan less important than of late. Chicago, Gas and General Electric were strong,' while the other Industrials were barely steady on a limited business. Net changes show advances of to H per cent. Burlington and Quincy lot i, Whiskey Lead I, and New York Cen tral per cent. American Cotton Oil, preferred, fell 1 j to 08. The steamship Spree, which sailed for Europe to-day. took out l,0O0,000 gold but no engage ments j are reported for Wednesday's European steamers. The bond market was strong. Sales of stocks included 73,000 listed and 76.000 unlisted. Chicago, June 12. There was plenty of business and plenty of news in the wheat market to-day. The Weather was however, the predominating factor, other items not having a great deal to do with the formation of thetone.but as sisting j in a secondary manner. The opening was from If to lie higher than yesterday's close, July being varioudy quoted at from 61 to 61 ic. The delivery ranged between 61 jc and 60jc, closing H to lc higher than yesterday at 6H to 61ic. Cash wheat was in excellent de mand with offerings - light. Prices averaged a full cent higher than yester day, j Corn opened strong and higher at the advance in wheat and trading there after, was on a higher plane of values. July sold between 42$ to 41 c, closing c higher than yesterday at 41fc. Cah rim corn was in good demand, uiienngs were very moderate and prices 1 to lie higher. Oats were not so independent of the other markets to day as in the immediate past. The weather attracted some at tention, the same conditions being ap parent in this market, from that cause, as those obtained in wheat. The Gov ernment report seemed to be entirely forgotten and action was without an reference to that document. The opening was firm: then there was as easier period, succeeded by an improvement. The clo-e was c higher than yesterday for July. Cash oats were in gajd demand at i ad vance, i In provisions there was Mni good buying of product to-day by co-urnis.ion houses, and price promptly responded. ! The volume o: trading was no; extra ordinary, although eomewhat- heavitr f than during the past few we k The opening was hrm on an advance of o to luc in the price of live hogs at the yards and from a tpirit of 'sympathy with grain. Later, a further advance was made on the buying already mentioned and the close was 37,c higher for July pork. 10 to 12,c higher for July larJ and 2jc for July nbs.
