noon O'Shaughnessy entered the shop in an
excited condition and began walking up and
down. cursing his hard luck in being out Of en-
ployment. He grew more excited and declared
thnt somebody was conspiring against his life
and trying 10 kill him. McIncrury. who is an
old man 81 years % age. tried to quiet his
nephew and endeavored 10 convince him that
he was laboring under an halucnation. and
that nobody wanted 10 take his life. O'Shaugh-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TROUBLES
The Companies win not Compromise-Em-
plOying NJ en- by the Week.

Contrary to the expectation of the strik-
ing longshoremen, who decided in Wednesday
nights meeting TO accept thirty cents per hour,
day and night. the stevedores, to whom some Of
them applied for work yesterday, refused to
pay even that. They say that the companies
will not allow them to pay more than twenty Ave
cents per hour; II they pay more it must come
from their own pockets. Since the strike was
begun many Of the companies have secured the
services Of a small number OF 'longshOremen
whom they pay at weekly rates, varying from
$l2 10 3l4. This system has proved such Il sue
cess on a small scale that some OF the compa-
nies. notably the Cunard and German lines
propose to continue II on n larger
scale. The majority OF the 'longshorcnen
however. positively refuset TO work by the week

KELLoGG's PURCHASED SEAT
The Power OF Government OmciaIs sum-
mOned TO Save Him.

WASHINGTON, June 5-Ground has been
been broken by tho Senate Committee in the
investigation Of the charges against Kellogg
A batch of witnesses have arrived In the city
who were relied on by Mr.. Spofford TO make out
the charge OF bribery against Mr. Kellogg and
his agent. AS soon as these witnesses reached
here they we're met at the cars by Federal ON
GERS. friends Of Kellogg, who have fairly taken
charge OF the witnesses. That the wit
nesses are being tampered with is be-
yond doubt. Brides and threats and
appeals to party feeling are invoked
in turn. One OF these officers. Lewis. Naval
Onlcer at New Orleans is reported to have told
a witness that 1t was a national fight and that
man shouldn't 20 back on his party. Another
has told one witness that a witness testlfying to
tho bribery would not be allowed to stay in
New York. Some twenty-eight members Of the
Kellogg Legislature are said to have been
given positions in the Custom House IN the past
few weeks. Theyare nominees OF the Collector
but they have to be confirmed and doubtless
have been confirmed by Secretary John sher-
man. n candidate for the Presidency of the
United States. The only witness examined to-
day was J. j. Johnson. n cclored member from
De Soto Parish now living in New Orleans. He
from Louis Toner, who WAS Keoggs agent To-
day, he went back on the facts recited in his
% and IS regarded as evidence that ne had Welded
to the influence OF kellogg's agents and back
ers. He. will probably be arrested for perjury
in few hours and vigorously prosecuted in the
courts OF this District. Others OF the witnesses
are believed to be ready To- go back on what
they have sworn to. One witness and probably
others will be firm against all improper infu-
enccs.
The persons being manipulated on Kellogg's
behalf have been discussing among themselves
how far they can dony the truth OF their own
afidayits and yet escape the clutches OF the law.
1t will be shown beyond n question that VA
rious members Of the Kellogg Legislature we're
paid money by the person TO whom they were
ordered TO be conducted from Mr.. Kellogg's
room. His explanation is that this was merely
the usual members pay. but 10 this II is replied
that the function of the person in question was
not to pay the members salary and mileage.
