Washington June 12. At the
opening of the session of the senate
today Mr. Chandler Republican New
Hampshire made some brief observa-
tions in support of the resolution he
introduced just before adjournment
Jast night calling on the secretary of
the treasury for all information in his
possession regarding tho extent to
which the "padrone" system prevails.
Senator Chandler expressed the
opinion that one of the most potent
Agencies in the annihilation of the
padrone system would be the enlist-
ment of a sentiment adverse to it
among the better and wealthier class
of Italians.The resolution was adopted.
Seveial bills ot minor importance
were taken from the calendar and
passed including one to provide for
the fees and compensations of the
officers of the circuit and district of
judicial district of North Dakota and
to amend the act dividing that judi-
cial district.

able list restoring the McKinley bill

rates practically one-half.
After Mr. Peffer had offored his
amendment under an agreement
made yesterday the senate went back
to paragraph 99 imposing a duty of
10 per cent on spectacles goggles
opera glasses and other optical iutiu-
ments which was passed over at the
request of Mr. Hoar.
Mr. Hoar moved to increase the
rate to GO per cent and took the floor
in advocacy of hia amendment. After
some geu6ral remarks Mr. Hoar de-
scribed the economic conditions of
the town of Southbridge Mass.
where 8.000 inhabitants are for the
most part dependent upon the large
works of tne American Optical com-
pany. .Speaking of operatives in this
town he said that thay earned twice
the wages and consumed twice aa
much as persous performing the same
labor abroad.
"1 do not claim" he said "any
special pre-eminence for Southbridge.

good reason why American states-
manship should not be directed to-
wards fostering and eicoui iging com-
munities like this. The jnulor sena-
tor from Texas visited thai neighbor-
hood two or three years ago and
promised to be the Moses that should
lead them into the promised land of
paradise flowing with milk and honey
and free school.
The senator from Texas professes to
be personally in favor of keeping his
promises. Bui be tells us he is be-
tween the devil and the deep sea. I
suppose the devil of Democracy and
the deep sea of popular indignation.
I do not think he is in auydauirerol
drowning. I think from the amount
of anger and rage which he uttered
when the word "sugar" was pro-
nounced the other day in his ears
that it is quite manifest who is get ting
liim and that all that he will b9 able
to make of his good intentions is to
make a pavement for his future dwell-
ing place.
"You promised" said the senator
"that as a partial equivalent for the
damage which you do that you would
give them free coal free wool free
lumber and free sugar. I do not un-
derstand that this promise is to be
kept. Senators who have been pro-
fuse in their promises of free raw ma-
terial tell us that tney cannot keep

their promise to put eoal ou the free
list because they cannot pass the bill
if they do. Why not? Do you pre-
tend that the bill would not pass the
house? It has come over from that
body with coal on the free list and
the party majority unanaaimoua in its
suppoit. Are you going to lose
any Democratic votes here? If
so who are they? Both
seuators from West Virginia a great
coal producing state senators from
Alabama and I think both senators
from Old Virginia have almost indig-
nantly disclaimed this imputation.
Who ia it that is constraining the
somewhat ostentatious virtue of the
senator from Texas the senator from
Arkansas and the senator from Mis
souri? The true reason is not that
you are alraid of losing the measure
nere lor which you 3ay a majority of
the American people declared itself in
1892 nor bdeauae you are afraid ot los-
ing the votes of West Virginia at the
polls hereafter if you keep your prom-
ise. I wish to call attention to the
fact that those Democratic principles
are not violated theBe Dem-
ocratic pledges are not broken
the alleged command of the American
people not disobeyed for want ot Dem-
ocratic voteB in the senate. It is for
fear of public Indignation expressed
in the elections. You are ready
enough to strike at the industry of any
Northern state from which Democracy
has no hopes in the future."
lu conclusion th6 senator satd:
"Tho power which is to pass this bill
is a coalition between the aristrocrat
and the Populist between the spirit
of the old slave master and the spirit
which would make war on property
on frugality on honest lbjr on hon-
est men's earnings. The Alliance is
between thp spirit of sectionalism of
the South and that spirit at the North
which never has known the impulse
ot a true nationality.
"It protects by enormous dutlesupon
which it puts enormous bounties the
industry of the South and the ill-
gotten gains of the trust. Its warfare
is upon the savings banks upon the
life insurance upon the yeomen ou
the farm upon the workmen in the
mill. The power which is behind It
may secure for itself a brief victory
but the men who are wielding it know
well that it is doomed. Its success
will be as short lived as it is mis-
chievous. It may last for a day for a
year and perhaps for a presidential
term."
The absolute blockade of the tariff
bill in the senate today was in marked
contract with the wonderful progress
made yesterday. Not a cog was
turned.
The entire nine hours were devoted
to set speeches preliminary to the con-
sideration of the wool schedule.
Mr. Quay who has been quiescent
for five weeks resumed his speech
which has already occupied four days
and after speaking for hours today his
manuscript seemed unappreciubly
diminished.
Then he yielded from sheer exhaus-
tion and Messrs. Pettigrew of North
Dakota Power of Montana and Peffer
of Kansaa made set speeches against
free wool. Other set speeches will
follow tomorrow but it is probable
that the actual consideration of tne
wool schedule will be reached before
adjournment.
During a lull in tne aeoaie ivir
Mitchell of oregon moved to lay the
tariff bill on the table. The motion
however was without special signifi-
cance and was defeated by a strict
pat ty vote.
Mr. Chapman the Wall Btreet
broker who relueed to answer ques-
tions was reported as coutumaciou
to the senate by the sugar investigat
ing committee and a resolution wa
introduced to bring bim to the bar
the senate for coutempt.
At 0 o'clock the seuate adjourned.
THE HOUSE.
Washington. June 12 Two hours
were consumed today in the house
over a bill reported by Mr. Outhwaite
setting aside fl000CO irom the lund
belonging to the estates of deceased
colored soldiers of the civil war for
the purpose of erecting in the District
of Columbia a national nome mr meu
and iulirui colored people. The bill
was nassed. The Indian appropria
tion bill was then taken up but the
house adjourned without completing
its consideration.

June 11 says: The week ending June

neniinnnfthe resion extending: from

the middle Allantic coast including
portions of New Jersey Maryland and
Virginia has received more than the
usual amount of rain during the week
but elsewhere and over much of the
greater part of the country the rain-
tall has been deficient. Practically no
rain has fallen from the upper Missis-

conditions have prevailed over a large
part of the cotton region east of the
Mississippi river.
The cold weather during the early

While no one at the district attor-
ney's office will talk about the proceed-
ings of the grand jury further than to
say that no true bill has yet been re-
ported against Messrs. Edwards and
Shriver.it is known that the grand
jury has informed Mr. Birney that it
would report a true bill and that it
was in consequence of this information
that Mr. Birney notified the two
newspaper men to be prepared with
bail next Saturday if they do not wish
to be imprisoned under an indictment
which he would frame between now
and Saturday. The intention is to ar-
rest the two correspondents and no-
tice was given thein in order that they
might be prepared to secure their re-
lease on bond and thus avoid the un-
pleasantness of detention behind the
bars. Their cases will be test ones.

TESTING THE LAW.
The Florida Prize-Fiehtine Case
Before
the Supreme Court.
Tallahassee Fla. June 12. At-
torney General W. B. Lamar repre.
senting the sheriff of Duval county
filed in the supreme court today the
record in the case of N. B.Broward
sheriff vs. J. E L. Bowden and others
composing the Duval Athletic club of
T--I - III. 1171 frt..lott--
j acivsouviue. ucu iuo vu.cm
Mitchell fight was about to take place
at Jacksonville Governor Mitchell
ordered several companies of the state
militia to that city and placed them
under the command of the sheriff who
had instructions to prevent the fight
from taking place at all hazards.
The club applied to Judge R. M.
Call for a writ of injunction
restraining the sheriff from interfering
with the proposed exhibition. The
injuuetion was granted and the officers
were powerless to interfere with the
fight but in order to test the suffi-
ciency of the laws of the state au cp-
peai was taken to the supreme court.
Immediately alter filing the record
this morning the attorney general
made a motions to advance the case
for argument. No cousel appeared for
the appellees and under the rules of
practice given iu the advancement of
cases in the supreme court 10 days is
allowed to appellees in which to ap-
pear and defend if they ' so
desire the motion for advance-
ment on the docket and nothing fur
ther can be done until that time ex-
pires. The announcement that an
effort will be made to bring about the
meeting of Corbett and Jackson in
Jacksonville during the coming fall
will make the attorney general more
zealous in pressing his case before the
supreme court for if tho decision of
the circuit court is reversed then the
laws of the state will be deemed suffi-
cient to prevent prize fighting and
with the pronounced views enter-
tained by Governor Mitchel on the
subject the whole state would be
called to arms rather than to suffer au-
other exhibition like that of last
spring. On the other hand if the su
nreiuii court concurs in the decision of
Judge Call the governor's officers
would b powerless to interfere with
prize lighting until the weak points
in the present laws are amended.
Should this be the case and the pro-
posed fight for December materialize
into anything like a certainty the gov-
ernor has repeatedly signified his in-
tention of calling the legislature to-
gether in extra session to make such
amendments as are required.
Bora Not Made
Weak by imprudence are many
stomachs. Puny people have invari-
ably weak digestion. The robust as a
rule eat heartily and assimilate their
food. A naturally weak stomach or
one that has become althouh not so
originally derives needful aid from
this thorough stomachic Hosteller's
Stomach Bitters. The restoration of
viiror to the delicate is the prompt
effect of a recourse to this profession
ally sanctioned and universally es-
teemed promoter of health. Nervous-
ness a symptom of chronic indiges-
tion is overcome by it. Ho are liver
complaint and constipation. Incipient
rheumatism and kidney trouble it
defeats thoroughly and it constitutes
an efficient defense against malaria.
But in order that the full benefit
derivable from its ush should be
availedof.it should not be used in a
haphazard way but continually.
The same suggestio holds good of all
standard remedies.
Chickasaw Lands
Fort Gibson I. T. June 11. The
Dawes commission held a meeting at
Stonewull ou Saturday and the com-
missioners addressed a crowd of lull-
blood Chickasaws half breeds adopt-
ed citizens and negroes- variously es-
timated at from 1500 to 2000. urging
them to accept the government's prop-
osition and allot their land in sever-
alty and sell the surplus dividing the
proceeds of the sale among the mem
bers of the tribe. There was a great
deal of confusion some adopted white
citizens shouting out that the govern-
ment had broken every treaty made
with the Indiatis and could not be ex-
pected to keep faith now. When
quiet was restored Indian speakers in-
terpreted the position and the commis-
sion was assured the Chickasaws
would ultimately accept the terms of-
fered by the government.
HAVEMEYER'S TESTIMONY
HE IS EXAMINED BY THE SENATE
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
Says He Went to Washington to Work
for the Sugar Refining Interests De-
nies the Interview With Cleve-
land and Similar Stories.
Washington June 12. H. O. Have-
nieyer president of the American
Sugar Refinery has responded to the
summons of Senator Gray's investi-
gating committee and appeared before
the committee today to give his testi-
mony. The doors were closed against
the press as usual and the proceed
ings were strictly private It is known
however that Mr. Havemeyer was
subjected to a very rigid examination
concerning his visits to Washington
last spring while the tariff bill was in
its lormative process in the senate
finance committee and in regard to
his interviews with senators.
Mr. Havemeyer denied the published
statements upon which the investiga
tion is based both as to contributions
to campaign funds and the demands
of the trust that it should have pro-
tection iu the tariff bill for past favors.
Mr. Havemeyer talked quite freely
about bis visit to Washington while
the tariff bill was pending before the
finance committee and he said that he
had talked with several senators in the
inteiest of the proper protection of the
refilling interest among them Sena-
tors Hill Gorman and Smith. The
two latter he said had promised to
uelp him but Senator Hill has given
him no satisfaction at all. He said the
present tariff Dill was an uosatisfao
tory one to the refiners because the
differential of one-eighth of 1 cent
was not sufficient to afford all the pro-
tection wiiich their interest should
have received.
Ho confesses that he had advocated
the ad valorem system and was prattl
ed that it had been adopted to the ex-
tent that it was but even with this
concession he declared the schedule
was far from being satisfactory.
Mr. Havemeyer denied all knowl-
edge of speculation in sugtr stocks by
United States senators. Mr. Have-
meyer was asked about the published
statement that he had either on Mr.
E.G. Benedict's yacht or at Green-
wich Conn. been in consultation with
Mr. Cleveland in 1892 after Mr. Cleve-
land's nomination to the presidency
about the 6Ugar interests as affected
bv the Hawaiian treaty. To this Mr.
Havemeyer said': "There is rot one
word of truth."
He also declared that no such con-
sultation had ever occurred at any
tiuie or nlace. He added that ho did
not know Mr. Cleveland and had never
seen him. Furthermore he had never
exchanged a word with Mr. Benediot
on the subject of sugar or any other
business matter
He said he had come to iVashiugton
early in March after tho tariff bill had
passed through the house with the
tiope of getting a hearing before the
finance committee and had gone to
Senator Vest to ask liim if it would
not be possible to secure a heariug by
the committee. Mr. Vest had said
uo but bad agreed to allow hint to
pxplain the sugar question to him
(Vest) individually and he had done
so meeting Mr. Vest twice. In tbis in-
terview he had opposed any duty on
sugar but said that if there was to be
a duty ic should be uu ad valorem. He
had represented that a differential of
one-quarter of a cent on refined sugar
was indispeusible to the existence of
the sugar refining interest in this
country. He had not been particular
whether tnis uilrerentiai suouiu De aa
valorem or specific but wanted the
dutv ou raw ad valorem. He then ex
nlained his interview with Senator
Jones at Senator Camden's rooms and
with Senator Caffrey at Senator
Krice's house. He had talkeJ with
Jones about three-quarters ofn hour
about the different systems of levying
dutv and about the cost of reiiuing
susar in this and other countries.
He said that he had been
invited to Senator Brlce's house to
meet Senator Caffery. and when he
met him merelv went over the argu
ment for an ad valorem duty. Mr.
Havemeyer says he had gone to the
capltol with Mr. Morrill but not for
I the purpose of seeing senators or rep
resentatives "we were idling arounu"
he said "sort of spectators."
Mr. Havemeyer made some startling
statements towara tne close oi nis tes
timonv. He was asked about the con
tributions of the sugar trust to the
camnaicn fund of political parties and
said that the records of the trust
showed that such contributions were
made but that tliev were made to the
state committee not to the national
committees. He was asked if the con
tributions of the trust were given to
both parties in the same state he re-
tried "Oh. no."
"How do you arrange it?" he was
asked.
"Well New York is a Democratic
state we give to the Democrats and
to the Republicans in Massachusetts.
We never give to the minority."
"Did you contribute to the anti-
snappers?" asked Senator Lodge.
"Oh. no. I am quite sure on that
noint. nothing to the anti snappers.
Mr. Havemeyer could not give the
committee the amounts contributed
by the sugar trust to the different cam
pitign funis but he promised to fur-
nish them if he could get them.
Cord Meyer was called after Mr
Havemeyer finished. He cave the
committee little or no information
He had conversed with Senator Smith
on the subject of sugar and perhups
other senators. He wan asked if the
sugar trust or any of its agents had
employed any senator or represents
tive as an attorney or in other capacity
during the time the bill was pending
in either bouse and he answered iu
the negative. This question was put
in several forms but eacli tune an
swered the same way.

Manchaca Tex June 9. Quite a
ciowd of voters from this section of
the county assembled hei e yesterday
afternoon to hear speeches from can-
didates for the various county offices.
When Judge von Kosenberg had
closed a hot assault on A. S. Walker
Jr. who was not present Hon J. K.
Hamilton was called for and in reply
made the following terse little talk.
My Fellow Citizens:
When I came out here from Austin
this morning I did not expect to ad-
dress you ou his oocaslou. I came
out to hear others talk and to meet
my friends aud your call has placed
me in rather au embarrassing pusl-
tlou. Against my opponents I have
nothing to say. They are both my
warm personal friends. A. H. Walker
Jr. and I were for many years school
mates we are follow Masons aud be
long to the same college fraternity.
We are bound together my country-1
men by ties as strong
aud tenner as that of two
brothers and not for the
office I am now seeking would 1 do
him a wron; or suffer auother to tra-
duce bis character if within my pow-
er to prevent it.
I became acquainted with Judge
William von Rosenberg about lOyears
ago. That acquaintance baB ripened
into a friendship which from that day
to this hour has never been marred
by a wrongful act or an unkind word.
tiotn my opponents are better men
than they would have you believe
from their vbl'01iJ&' assaults uior.
each other. All three of us have re-
cords as public aervants of tho
county and you are the Judges of our
fitness for the office we are now seek
ing at your hands. The office of
county judge I regard as one of the
most responsible as well as one of the
most sacred trusts within the gifts of
our people. It should be out of poll-
tics and beyond political Influences.
As to my fitness for this truBt you are
the judges . Many of you have known
me since I was a boy on the farm and
my course and conduct through lite
lrom that time to this hour I refer to
with pride.
It has been my honor to nil the office
of county attorney of Travis county
and the dockets or tne courts win
show that no lawyer at the Austin
bar has ever made a better record.
For four years I had the honor to pre-
side over our city courts. Duilng that
time I tried over 3000 cases embracing
most every character of criminal case
that could possibly come up beiore me
as judge ot the county court and not
more than 10 or 12 of that number
were ever appealed from my decision.
Hbould you see fit to give me the office
I am now seeking it will be
for me a stepping stone to
something higher and there is not a
young man in the state of Texas who
would appreciate your support ana
influence more highly than I. But
should you vote against me in this
race I know your action will reflect
your sober judgment and be for what
you conceive the best Interest of our
people. In that event 1 will tblnk
none the less of you and assure you
now that Jim Ham'lton will still be
your friend I thank you for your at-
tention. Angostura B liters are tlio best remedy for re-
movlDfc indigestion. Ask your druggist for the
genuine prepared by Dr. J. O. B. Hlegart Si
Sons.
