planation. SENATE.
Washington, June 15i The
passed to-day from the region of
to that of action on the. wool schedule of
the Tariff bill. The talking continued
from 10:30 to 3:30 o'clock, but none of
the speeches presented anything very
new or remarkable, except a short one
by Senator Proctor, who made good use
of his Bible reading to illustrate his view
of the attack upon the wool industry of
the country. He discovered in the
murder of Abel "a keeper of sheep" by
Cain, "a tiller of the , ground," the first
historical mention of hostility to the
sheep indutrv. and he predicted that in
this case as.. .t, "a mark would be
set" upon the Democrats, and that they
would be forced to cry out: "My punish
ment is greater than I can bear." . This
and other biblical references and quota
tions was greatly enjoyed on the Repub
lican side of the Chamber, and in the
galleries. A good many votes were taken
upon amendments offered on the Repub
lican side of the Chamber, and while all
of these amendments were rejected, one
of them came very near being earned,
It was an amendment offered by Senator
Peffer to substitute the McKi-uey classi
fication on woolen goods (reduc d 50 per
cent.) and the vote was yeas, dii; nays,
35. the four Populists voting in the affirm
ative. When the Senate adjourned
another amendment 6i Senator Peffer
was pending, to put all woolen manu
factures on the free list.
No action has been taken on Senator
Jones" amendment to strike out the
House paragraph leaving wool on. the
dutiable list, nor in fact has the amend
ment been formally offertdr
A small defiency bill for printing ex
penses and some others were passed and
then the Senate at 6:30 o'clock, after a
short executive session, adjourned until
to-morrow at 10 o'clock.
HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. '
Among the bills reported was one for
a public building at Chicago and one
authorizing the erection of a Govern
ment printing office on onef of the public
reservations id the city of Washington.
Mr. Outhwaite reported a resolution
from the Committee on Rules, directing
the immediate consideration of the In
dian Appropriation bill under the five
minute rule until 3:30 o'clock when the
previous question shall be considered as
ordered on all pending amendments and
on the passage of the bill.
The resolution met with much opposi
tion from the Democratic side.
By a vote of 128 to 63 Mr. Outhwaite's
demand for the previous question was
seconded, but on the passage of the reso
lution, the Republicans refrained from
voting-the vote being 131 to 6. The
yeas and nays were ordered and resulted,
yeas,176; nays,76; present and not voting,

Mr. Richardson, rising to a question of
personal privilege.sent to the clerk's desk
and had read the editorial in. the Even
ing News of yesterday, relating to tne
charges contained its local columns con
necting Mr. Richardson's name ith a
certain transaction in real estate. This
real -estate had been purchased by the
Eckington Street Railway company, and
the Areu' stated that the transfer from
Mr. Richardson to the agent of the rail
way company had preceded - the presen
tation of a report to the House by Mr.
Richardson from ' the Committee on
Affairs of the District of Columbia by
only a few days. The situation, the News
aiSoiAd. warranted an investigation, in
asmuch as all the proceedings were part
of a scheme to fasten theoverhead
trolley system upon thBtreet rail
roads of the District; His expla
nation was, in bfief, that he had
purchased an interest in the property m
J89r and 1892 for purposes of speculation,
but the rise in value had not met his ex
pectation, and in March last he placed
the property in the hands of real estate
agents, who had disposed of it. without
further reference to him (Richardson)
except to account for the proceeds,
which barely recouped his investment.
w;a afatomnts were supported by letters
and documents which Mr. Richardson

EVERY SENATOR
TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE SUGAR
TRUST COMMITTEE.
meeting of the executive board, which
has been in session at the Waldorf , for
the past three days, was not . .called . to
order until nearly noon to' day, '.'.The"
failure of the executive board to agree to
the restoration of rates has -had rather
demoralizing effect on the convention,
and but little interest is taken in its pro
ceedings. Nearly all the officials were
late m arriving and many, or them aid
not put an appearance at alL This was
especially the case' witn repre
sentatdves of the Southwestern
lines. Samuel Felton, who has been an
important factor in the meeting of the
executive board and who is general man
ager of the ueen and Crescent route,
leaves for his home in Cincinnati to-day.
The general opinion is that the associa
tion will adjourn tomorrow and will
meet again at the Oriental hotel, Man
hattan Beach, some time next month. It
is understood that the whole trouble in
coming to a settlement about rates is
caused by the water lines from New
York not being able to agree with the
Southwestern roads in regard to rates to
common points in Tennessee and Ala
bama. The convention took up the considera
tion to-day of a new association agree
ment. It consists of twenty-three arti
cles. Six of them were considered and
passed. One of tlie most important
articles was in regard to the continuance
of the association as a body.
This was passed unanimously. It is
not within the range of possibility, how
ever, that there will be any restoration
of rates until the new agreement goes
into effect August 1st.
The convention took a recess at 1 :45
o'clock until 3 o'c'ock.
Among other things considered at the
morning session of the body was the
charge that the Mobile and Ohio road
was carrying many times more freight
Into the association's territory than its
competing line, the Illinois Central. It
was1 not established, however, tnat this
was owing to reduced rates, but the mat
ter will be investigated. , . .
When the convention adjourned at
5:45 o'clock to-day Commissioner Stahl-
man voiced the sentiment of the conven
tion when he said that a final adjourn
ment would not be reached until Wed
nesday and possibly Thursday of next
week. It was expected when the con
vention met yesterday that the work
would be completed to-day, but it soon
developed that an agreement could not
be reached without considerable discus
sion, if at all.
When the convention adjourned only
nine of the twenty-six articles of agree
ment had been considered. In almost
every case they differ from similar arti
cles in last jrear's agreement. Represen
tatives of the various lines were unani
mous in demanding a larger proportion
of the business than has formerly been
allowed them, and it is understood the
officials of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad were the most persistent in
their efforts to secure the lion share of
the traffic for their company.

Washinoton, June 15. The torpedo
boat Ericsson, lately completed at Du
buque, Is ready to be floated over the
rapids and held at Rock Island until the
Navy Department decides whether the
contractors' proposition to deliver her to
the Government at New York should be
accepted. The contract called for, the
Ericsson's delivery at Pensacola, but
there is no water near there for testing
the vessel, and the Government would
be compelled to fit her out far from a
base of naval supplies. The contractors'
offer to cruise round the coast to New
York in order that the trial maybe made
in Long Island sound will probably be
accepted.
The San Francisco, on being relieved at
Bluefields next Monday by the Marble

Jamaica, and proceed to the cayman
brae, the island to which most of the
salvage from the Kearsarge wreck on
Roncador reef has been taken. Capt.
Watson will endeavor to secure every
thing useful that belonged to the ill-fated
ship and the Consul will pay for them.
After that is accomplished the San Fran

the New York will leave Kingston for
New York to-night.
Senator Blackburn reported the Post
office Appropriation bill to the Senate
to-day. The amount or the estimates tor
the year ending June 30, 1895, aggre
gated $90,399,485 and the House appro
priation was $S7,340,oa. The -Senate
makes a reduction of $4,000, leaving the
appropriation as carried in this bill $87,
236,599. The estimated postal revenues
for 1895 are $84,424,748. The bill as re
ported is therefore less than the estimates
by $3,162,885. It exceeds the estimated
postal revenues by $2,808,851, and ex
ceeds the appropriation of 1894 by $3,232,
285. There are but two items of increase-r-$1,000
for advertising and $10,000 for
payment of rewards for detection of
crimes, etc. The item of advertising ex
penses in the office of the First Assistant
Postmaster General is reduced $15,000.
Senator Sherman offered an amend
ment to the Postoffice Appropriation bill
appropriating $10,000 forspecial facili
ties for the mail service between Cincin
natti and Cleveland and between Cincin
natti and Atlanta, all of which is to be
expended at the discretion of the Post
master General. . V
The Senate to-day confined thenomi-

The Sugar Investigation committee
met at 11 :30 o'clock with -Theodore
Havemeyer, of the Sugar trust, as a wit
ness," Mr. Havemeyer explained that he
attended to the . practical affairs of the
American Sugar Kenning company.sucn
as the manufacture of sugar and the
purchase arid fitting of the machinery.
He and Senator Allen nad a long pas
sage at arms over the attempt of the
Senator to bring out the alleged connec
tion of the trust and members of the
Senate. Mr. Hayemeyer added nothing
new to the facts gathered by the com
mittee. This afternoon the committee
began its examination of every member
of the Senate with reference to whether
they have speculated in sugar stock;
whether attempts were made to in
fluence them by members or
agents of trusts; what arguments were
advanced to the members of the Finance
committee by the so-called conservative
Senators to secure a change in the sugar
schedule, and, in general, what they
knew about the connection of the trust
with the sugar schedule legislation. The
Senators will be summond in alphabeti
cal order after the members of the com
mittee have had their turn. These, Sen
ators Gray, Lindsay, Davis, Lodge and
Allen, took the oath and gave testimony.
Each answered that he had nothing to
do with sugar speculation or with the
attempts of the Sugar trust to have the
sugar schedule modified. The commit
tee has drawn up a series of questions
that are so framed that no Senator who
has ever had anything to do with sugar
stock can give a negative answer on
make a technical denial without perjur
ing himself.

his deceased wife's sister and legitimize
his children by her, must go abroad to
have the ceremony performed.

close St. Paul ran off to 60. The general
railway list was quiet. Even the (ailing
off in the gold exports has failed
to stimulate the stock speculation.
It is generally conceded that the move
ment is practically over for the time be
ing, and for that reason the new depart
ure by a certain bank in furnishing the
gold for to-morrow's European steamers
is not considered of much importance.
Richmond Terminal securities were quiet.
The Richmond and Danville road was
sold at foreclosure to the reorganization
committee at Richmond and the other
lines comprising the system will be fore
closed either this or next month. The
successor company.' the Southern Rail
way company, will be organized in Rich
mond June 18th. The market closed
irregular with net changes of i to per
cent. The bond market was weak. Sales
of listed stocks aggregated 70,000 shares;
unlisted, 82,000.
Chicago, June 15. The drought in
the Northwest has been broken and
wheat declined cn that news to-day.
The enthusiastic bulls of a week ago
have taken to the woods, cr else turned
bears. Long wheat was pressing on the
marketto-day and those holders who.
haye still a lingering hope that some
thing may happen to cause a recovery,
but are not willing to back their opinion
to too great an extent, were buying
"puts" at prices 2c removed from the
ruling quotations of July wheat. The
opening to-day was weak. The market
became weaker and there was but a
slight rally from the extreme low point
of the day at the close. July wheat
opened at from 58$ to 58c, sold between
58$ c and 57ic, closing $ to ic under yes
terday at 58$c bid Cash wheat was in
good demand.
y Corn succumbed to the rains and pre
dictions of rains. There were many de
serters from the ranks of the believers in
higher prices, and those who were long
of corn and who felt that there was no
chance of (an immediate advance were
free sellers. The weak wheat market
threw a discouraging influence over the
corn pit and declines were generally in
order.
July con opened at 41$c, sold between
41$c and 40$c, closing at 40$c, at net loss
of $c from yesterday. There was a mod
erate demand for cash corn. Offerings
were fair at grices ranging from to $c
under yesterday.
Oats made a decidedly good start to
day, but, unfortunately for prices, the
weak wheat and corn markets were too
extensive in their influence to permit of
their maintaining the strength shown
early. Yesterday's firmness was carried
ovei to the opening to day, but within
an hour of the first trading a decline, ex
cepting for June, set in. That delivery
closed ic higher than yesterday, but
July lost ic. Cash oats were in good
demand andc higher than yesterday.
Provisions were almost lifeless. The
opening was weak in deference to the
decline in live hogs, after which the
speculative feeling in gram ruled. Pack
ers did a little buying but not enough to
cause any improvement in the tone or
prices. July pork closed 7Jc lower than
yesterday, July lard 5 to 7$c lower, and
July ribs 5c lower. The cash product
market was quiet.
Two Hundred Miners Killed.
Tboppeau, Austrian Silesia, June 15.
A disaster involving great loss of life is
reported to-day from Karwin. An ex
plosion of fire damp occurred last night
in the Johann ana Franziska mines at
that place. About 200 miners are said to
have been killed. Both the mines were
on fire when the dispatch announcing the
disaster was sent. The ventilation shafts
were destroyed and the fire was spread
ing in all directions. The explosion took
place at 10 o'elock p. m., in the pit of the
Franziska mine and resulted in the death
of 120 miners there. This explosion was
almost immediately followed by a series
of explosions in the mines, the most dis
astrous being in the Johann pit, where
eighty icniners were Killed. A. rescue
party which descended into one of the
pits at 5 o'clock this morning also per
ished. The ventilator shafts of several
of the pits were destroyed and the fire
spread in all directions. Assistance has

pneumogastric nerve, as
shown here, may be said
to be the most Important
of the entire nerve sys

nerve force necessary to
keep them active and
