best month that Duluth ever saw, but
November knocked out October by ten
vessels and q tonnage of S1,675. The
November tonnage this year beats that

The big blast furnace at West
Duluth made its first run the other
night. 1t was entirely successful 1t
will be followed by four runs every
twenty-four hours The furnace will
devour daily nearly 200 tons of iron ore
and as much limestone and coke. It

Positive Testimony of His NefarIous Char
acter-Heavy Bail.
LONDON. April 30.-There was sensation
to-day at the postponed examination of
Capt. Verney, the member OF parliament
charged with instigating the procuration of
the goyerness, Miss Brackett, for immoral
purposes. It was caused by the testimony
of woman named Louise Adeline, keeper
of hotel in Paris, to the effect that Capt,
Verney had called upon her seven or eight
different times and asked her to procure for
him two or three girls, promising her 100
francs if she succeeded. The witness added
that in spite of the captains solicitations
and Inducements she positively refused to
undertake the procuration referred to-
Capt. Verney wss finally held for trial and
his bail increased from $4,000 to $4,000.
Mde. Adelaine WAS positive in her identi-
icstion of Verney. When asked by the
magistrate if Capt. Verney said what he
wanted the girls for Adelaine replied
promptly: "He said he wanted to seduce
them, and that they must be- virtuous."
This created great sensation. Verney,
when asked if he had ANYTHING to say in his
own behalf, said he would say nothing in
this court. He was then held for trial in
$75,000 bail. This he secured.

1t, However.
ALBANY. N. Y, April 30.--'rhe senate com.
mittee this morning submitted volumin.
ous report on the sugar trust investigation.
II speaks about 10 per cent. dividends and
OF the fabulous valuation placed upon stock
OF constituent corporations. The report
says 1t was plainly one of the chief purposes
OF the trust to provide for tho issuance OF
eertificates affording opportunity for great
speculation. obviously to the advantage of
persons managing the trust and to the dis
advantage OF the general public, who we're
Ignorant OF tho secrets of the trust. Refer
ring to. the refusal of trust officials to
show their books, the report says it liz
Tor the people to determine whether the
refusal was because these books would
show that the trust was using the combina-
ton for illegal purposes. The report uues-
tlons whether the enormous dividends have
been earned in the legitimate refining of
sugar, and calls attention to the wide
spread speculation in securities. II is
recommended that legislation be had re-
straining the formation of trusts as hostile
to the interests of the people or providing
for formation under supervision of the
state; that they be compelled to keep books
for account, or copies, in the state, to be
subject to examination by duly appointed
accountants.
