New YORK, Dec. l2-The senate trust
committee resumed its session to-day.
Francis Is. rhurber, of the firm of Thurber,
Wyland X Co., was examined in regard 70
the purpose of the Wholesale Grocers' asso,
ciation
The witness denied that the wholesale
grocers' association was formed to compel
the sugar trust to sAl to members of the gro
GERS association at less rates than those
charged to merchants outside of the asSocia-
ton.
John Stanton testified regarding the copper
trust, and Charles Ralph broker said that
copper had been steadier in price since the
establishment of the syndicate.
Appleton Sturgiss, president of the Eagle
Milling company, OF Brooklyn, testified re-
garding the bag trust. He said dread of the
Mills bill was the cause of the trust, because
the managers sought TO make as much money
as they could before the Mills bill drove them
out of existence; hence the formation of the
trust. There would be no trust possible with
q reasonable tax on raw material.
Il. j. Goodheart, whisky broker, said of
the whisky trust that the headquarters were
at Peoria, ILL.,, and that the capital of the
combination amounts TO S300O0,0O0 they
paying u to per cent dividends, but being
desirous of decreasing their surplus stock
they have been paying 4 per cent for some
time back.

upon the sale Of the Duke of Westminster's
race horse, Ormond, to an American gentle
man for fl7,000, the Standard to-day says:
If he were sound his expatriatIon wonld be IA

lean and not English youngsters who will be

Switchmcn Strike at Toledo.

TOLEDO, o., Dec. 12.-Thc switchmen in
all the railroad yards of the city agreed to
strike at noon to-day. Efforts were made
for compromise and at 10 o'clock the strils-
ers in the Pennsylvania yards went back, ac-
cepting the compromise offered by the com.
pany.
The Pennsylvania men having accepted
the compromise receive the same wages paid
in the Wabash yards, which is less than that
paid on the Lake Shore. This would ..epd
the matter if it were not for the fact that
the Wabash switchmen are holding out for
the Lake Shore schedule, and though they
are working they are only waiting for tho
result Of the conference with Receiver MCI
Nulta and other officers of the road,
who are expected here tonight. Tho
Columbus, Hamilton g. Dayton men, who
went out yesterday, are still firm in their do
mand for Lake Shore pay. Work in the
Toledo and Ohio Central yards is progress
ing without interruption, ana no trouble is
anticipated. The Wheeling q Lake Erie
men are working as usual, having accepted
the scale adopted at the meeting of superin-
tendents Monday. In case the Wabash men
are granted the Lake Shore pay, is is sus-
pected the Pennsylvania switchmen will asls
for a corresponding increase, when the real
difficulty will begin.

CuCAGo, Dec. R.- Especial TolegfaE !,
TnE BEE. - Rumors have again becoIhs
prevalent in regard to the old strikes on the
so" system and IL is said that tho engineers
are anxious to have theirs declared off so that
the men may get back to work. Chairman
Kavamcr, ofIthe general grievance commlueef
is in the city, the object of his visit being,it IS
said, to negotiate n peace with the company
and use that as u card in his efforts to have
G rand Chief Arthur retired to private life
and himself installed in the position that Ar,
thur now holds. 4
INQUIRIES were made at the general office Of
the railway company to-day, but owing to-
the absence of the general officers nothing
very definite could be learned. Vice Iresi-
dent Stone and General Manager Ripley arc
both out of the city. 1--WE have not received
any deputations here said DR. Williams,
assistant to Vice President Stone,
| Cooking to u settlement Of tho

| Where is there room for any compromise to
come in There are no vacancies on our
| road. All positions are full, and everything
| is running in a satisfactory manner. Our
| new men are competent and giving entire
satisfaction. We are certainly not going to
| displace any of them TO make room for tha
strikers. That would be entirely out of tho
question. | really do not see where room
would come IN for any negotiation
"lf the strike were declared OF, and tho
brotherhood men should ask to be appointed

ceive them in that waN!'
"a cannot say as to that. | presume that
| their applications would have to be passed
upon as the vacancies occurred but we cer-
tanly would not dischargcanv OF our present
| men for the sole purpose of making room for
| uhem.n
General Superintendent Bessler stated
| that if any committee called on him he
would treat them COurtcOusly and
would listen to what they had
! to propose, but the road has all the ens
| ginecrs required to do a very large business,
| and they were all good, competent, sobet

| of the "Qn swtchmcn was declared off UNI
conditionally, ana the officers stated to-day
| that none of the old men had been rcinstated,
there being no vacancies for them to fill.
| Another explanation of Kavener's visit is

large audience rose, panic stricken. Cool
headed men sprang upon the stage and called
