Mrs. Friend Talks.

ANN ARBOR, MICH, January 5.-The
persons interested In the Electric" Sugar
refining frauds at New York have been in
consultation with Sawyer & Knowlton,
attorneys here, for several days past.
The president of the company has been
here and met Mrs. Friend, the Howards
and HolSteads, all of whom live at Milan,
this State.
Mrs. Friends attorney says that there
was no intentional fraud, but that the COM
pany expected more than was promised.
She says that the company wss to furnish
money 20 equip a refLery for refining the
sugar by Friend e secret process. The COM
pany alleged that tie refining was to b9
done from thesugar care. This fhe can
cot do. The contract her husband made
was 10 refine the sugar az so cents ton or
to cell out his stock and secret for $3.50, 600
after everything wss running The COM
pany has been running five years and put
in over three hundred thousand dollars,
hut 20 sugar has yet been refined for the
MAJ ket.
Mrs. Friend says that the company are
now trying to force from her another se-
cret by which she makes a superior article
of sugar from grapes, instead Of getting the
secret their cOntrnct calls for. This lsst
secret hereiusss to divulge for any amount.
None cf the stockholders had ever been iu-
side the fsctoFy until il was attached, and
al went into the scheme blindly.
No arrests have been made and none
even threatened By the complny's agent,
who returned TO New York Wednesday.
Mrs. Friend is the only one of the party
interested in the transaction, the Others
baing merely employes.

MONROE DOCTRINE
AND THE PANAMA CANAL.
Shsrmans Resolution Holly Discussed in the
Senate.
STRONG DIFFERENCES OF OPINION
As to What This Government Should Do in
the Matter.

WASHINGTON, January 5.-In the SEN
ate to-day Mr.. Edmunds offered two reso-
lutions, which we're agreed to, calling on
tie President for information as to the
Venezuelan awards, and as to what steps,
if any, have been taken by the United
States Government to collect the monthly
quotas Of the Caracas customs receipts.
Mr.. Sherman called up the joint resolu-
tion reported by him yesterday, from the
Committee on Foreign Relations, declar-
ing the sense Of Congress in relation to the
connection Of European Governments with
any inter-oceanic canal, and asked that il
be passed immediately. A brief bat very
interesting discussion ensued.
Mr.. Sherman said that the resolution
WAS but q reassertion Of the Monroe dec
triDe.
Mr.. Teller said that the only objection
be had to the resolution was that il was
uutimely, and should have been adopted
yeers ago, when the construction Of the
Panama canal was begun.
Mr.. Vest suggested that while favor
iug the resolution, it was intended to have
some bearing in favor of the Nicaragua
Canal, scheme to which he was opposed.
Mr. Edmunds, the author of the reso-
luton, disclaimsd having been influerced
by any such idea. Mr.. Call opposed the
resolution as calculated to obstIuct a great
work Of benefceoce to mankind. Mr..
George regarded the resolHtion as very
important and necessary stsp.
Mr.. Reagan thought that the resolution
should not be pressed TO a vote tO-dsy, but
should be considered and debated. Its
language, he said, was too broad and un-
restricted, and contained an unnecessary
otfense to France. Mr. Gray coincided
with the views expressed by Mr.. Reagan,
aud said that the government of the Uni
ted States should not, without grave con-
sideratioD, interpcse an obstacle TO a work
which would advance the civilization Of
the world.
Mr. Morgan took the view that Con-
gress had no right to trammel the diplO-
matte action Of the executive by the pas
cage Of a joint resolution. If the idea was
TO be expressed by Congress it should be
in the form Of q concurrent resolution
cnly.
Mr. Sherman treated Mr. Morgan's OBJ
jectin TO the form Of the resolution as more
technical than important, but was wiling
to have the resolution made concurrent
one, instead Of joint resolution. although
he thought the latter the better form as
binding the three branches Of the Govern
mert. He would like to see all the ma
tions Of the world (but not the Govern
menO oo-,peratQ ia the work Of The Pana-
ma Canal.
Mr.. Sherman consented to let the mat
ter 90 over till Monday, but said it
should be dispooed of then, because the
resolution should be passed promptly or
not at all. After further discussion the
resolution went ever till Monday.

PITTsBURG, January 5.-An important
meeting WAS held at the MOnogahsla
House to-day in regard to the new freight
tariff which went into effect on January l..
The iron manufacturers of the Shensgo
aud MahOning Valleys, and several from
Pit.sburg held a conference with the
freight sgent Of the Pennsylvania Com
pany's system, the Lake Erie, Lake Shore
and al other iron carrying roads having
connections in this city. The valleys
were well represented by the manufacture
ers. They made vigorous protest against
the new freight rates. These rates are
on the bssis Of % cents between
New York and Chicago, the old basis be-
log 20 cents, making an advance Of
cents. On THE basis the new rate on iron
Of sll kinds is 10 cents from Pittsburg TO
Chicago, the old one being l2l cents;
from Pittsburg to New York
it is 10 cents, the one being
-. From Youngstown to Chicago the new
rate is 13csnts, the old being 10 cents, and
from Youngstown to New York l6l cents,
the old one being 134 cents. The manu-
facturers from the valleys said that
they could not stand the advance
as it practically shut them out of
Chicago aud northwestern points. The
railroad officials said that they would take
the protest Of the manufacturers into con-
sideration, but would offer no encourage
ment as to putting the rates back to the
old figures.

SUBMITTED TO ARTHUR.
Discussion of the Agreement with the
Burlington Railroad Onicials.

Discussion of the Agreement with the
Burlington Railroad Ofiicials.
CHICAGO, January 5.-Chief Arthur,
who arrived to-day, was eloseted with
members Of the Conference Committee this
afternoon, and the terms Of settlement OF
the Burlington strike were formally sub.
mhted to him for approval.
The Conference remained in session
until noon, and Immediately aster its ad-
jOurnment Chief Arthur left the city over
the Chicago and Northwestern road. His
destination is not known, but il is under
stood to be some point in Wisconsin or
Northern lllinois, as be is expected to re-
turn 10 this city tonight.
Chairman Caverer, of the Brotherhood
Committee, was seen by an Associated
Press reporter soon after the conference
had closed. He said an agreement with
the Burlington read had been laid before
Chief Arthur, and that it was approved by
him, though this was not at all requisite,
as the arrangement was complete without
his sanction. Mr. Arthur, he said, was
going West on business entirely uncon-
nected with this matter, and had only
stopped in Chicago ct his TCaven-
er'sl request. As to the time when
| the terms Of settlement wo1ld be made
/ public, Mr.. Cavener said he Gid not believe
| II could be arranged before Tuesday morn
/ ing, though possibly they would be given
10 the press on Monday night next, Ger.
tainly not bsfore the latter date. To a
suggestion that this seemed an entirely
unnecessary delay, in view Of the COM
/ pleteness Of the transaction. Mr.. CAvensr
said that there were good reasons for delay
which he WAS not at liberty to disclose.
Vice President Stone of the the "Qn was
then approached with a suggestion that
the committee seemed 10 be unnCces-
sarily delaying publication, and that il
might save complications TO give the re-
suit Cf the negotiations at Ouee. Mr..
Sto5e replied that he had heard the reasons
Of the committee Tor asking TIRE delay and
that they were such rs commended them
selves to his iudgme1t IS reasOable. More
over, he added that he was fully convinced
/ that the BrOotheraoOd men were acting in
| perfect good faith, ard Re would not, even
indirectly, bresk the pledge which he had
given them 70 withhold the terms ofthe
settlement until thsy shIuld Indicate their
readiness to haveit Iu9l-he5.
From another source the reporter learn
ed that the cause OF the dslsy is this: The
committee want the cfficiAl notice Of the
terms of settlement 10 reach the various
lodges soon after the m, ter has been given
to the press 1t has h;en learned by expo
riencs tina. unless this is done friction is
likely TO arise in he lodges. Therefore
tire is btiog given for the terms Of settle
ment 10 reach Cleveland by mail and go
through the ciIcumlccution Office at head
quarters before i. is published.
