The Secretary Tells of the Disburse-
ments in This Country.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--After many de-
lays the Panama investigation was begun
this morning by a special COM
mittee appointed by the House for the
purpose. Charles Colne Of Brooklyn,
secretary OF the American committee Of the
Panama company since its formation,
in 1881, testified that in a general
way he attended TO the purchase
OF materials. the payment of money
for materials, and the obtaining
of loans. Mr.. Thompson was not at the
office much and most Of the business done
there was transacted through the wit
ness. He had disbursed about 100000.
After 1883 the principal business OF
the American committee was to
seek for subscriptions TO loans and
TO act as a go-between for the Panama
Canal Company and Panama Railroad Com
pany. The witness had paid attorney fees
of $4,000 to K. J. Ingersoll and $25, 900 to
Shellabarger 81 Wilson. There had been
no litigation for these attorneys,
but Col. Ingersoll had appeared
before congressional committee for
the company 10 put matters in their
true Light His books showed no authority
for the appointment Of counsel Mr.. Colne
said that the question whether
the American committee had not
been appointed to prevent hostile
legislation was too broad for him. He ad-
mitted that the sentiment of the admins
tration toward the enterprise had been rep
resented in France after Count de Lesseps'
visit TO be favorable. No Panama canal
stock had been distributed in this country.

TRIAL OF TsH vRsUvIUs.
The Firing with the Cruiser in Motion
to Begin Today.

me FIRING WITH tno CrulSor IN MOElOn
to Begin To-day.
PORT ROYAL, s. c., Feb. 6.-Work was
resumed on board the cruiser Vesuvius to-
day. The weather was very unpropitious,
but cleared at intervals sufficiently to en-
able the remaining tests with dummy shells
to be made. Five shells remaining in the
gun racks we're fired during the course OF
the day and gave the same admirable re-
suits which have always been obtained at
long ranges. Fifteen hundred and 2, 600
yards were the ranges selected by the board
and two shells were fired for the former
and three for the latter distance. During
the day the board attempted to set fish net
for the purpose Of catching projectile,
but the tide was too strong and the net was
swept out of position and the plan was
finally abandoned.
The powder shells have been fully pre-
pared for firing and before the Vesuvtus
moves down TO the lower harbor
tomorrow morning they will be
loaded into gun racks. The lighter
with a load of guncoBton shells will be al
lowed TO remain at her present mooring un-
til she is needed. The course over which
the moving tests are to be made has been
completed, in fact everyth ing is at last in
readiness for the long expected moving ex-
periments. These will begin with FIVE
powder shells tomorrow. Especial inter
est centers in them because they are en-
ploYed to test the practical efficiency Of the
Rapief fuses.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Senate judi
oiery committee this morning took up the

sideration was postponed until next Monday

peared on the floor and held brief confer

lay as long as possible the nomination Of

The Alleged Letter of Cardinal Gibbons
Causes a Sensation.


NEW YoRK, Feb. 6.-The letter purport-
iug to have been written by Cardinal Glib
bons Of Baltimore to the American arch
bishops asking whether their alleged pro.
test against Mgr. Sstolli shall be presented
to the pope at this late day is the chief
topic Of conversation ia Catholic circles.
The Chicago dispatch containing the letter
charged that the alleged protest said to
have been adopted by the archbdishops at
their meeting last November had been with
held for six weeks until after Mgr. Satolli's
powers had been broadened by the pope so
his holiness might not know Of the Opposi-
tion TO the apostolic delegate among the
archbishops.
Archbishop Corrigan would not receivesa
reporter who called to inquire as 10 his
views upon the publication, but his secre-
tary, Father Connolly, characterized it as
foolish. He said: ut charges the cardinal
with malciously withholding from the pope
the result Of the conference of the prelates
until the latter part Of January. In fact it
intimates that il was never submitted to the
pope at all. Now the facts are that Bishop
ChApelle was secretary Of the conference.
He took the minutes which contained the
action and the discussion of the arch
bishops to the pope. The report OF the oon-
ference had not then, of course, been pre-
country early in December, leaving think
not later than Dec. or 4. He must have
have reached Rome in three weeks at long
est and so the action of the arch-
bishops must have been be-
fore his holiness as early
as Jan. l. Mgr. Satolh came to this ooun-
try in October. likewise, as the pope's rep
resentative In matters connected with the
worlds fair. Notice of his appointment as
apostolic delegate was received here about
the middle of January, so that it can easily
be seen that it was not until some time after
the pope knew the sentiments of the archbish-
ops as expressed at the conference that the
pope acted. do not know whether Arch-
bishop Corrigan has received a letter from
Cardinal Gibbons such as was printed or

TILLMAN CALLED DOWN.
Judge Simonson Begins Proceedings
for Contempt.


CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 6.-Proceed-
ings we're begun in the United States court
here to-day which threaten to bring about
conflict between the state and federal
authorities if the sheriffs of the various
counties attempt to carry out the orders of
GOV Ttllmau to levy on railroad
property for taxes now In
dispute. On Saturday freight
train on the South Carolina railway was
chained 30 the track. There were four
teen freight cars. eight Of which were
loaded, their value being about 81, 900.
The amount OF taxes claimed by the state
is not over 81 800. The road is in the hands
OF M. H. Chamberlain, q receiver ap-
pointed by the United States court. Receiver
Chamberlain's petition 60 the court filed
to-day claims that the taxes, according to
the legal assessment, have been paid and
that the balauce claimed by the state, about
$4,000, is Illegal and has been so declared by
the court; that seizure and sale of the prop
erty would put stop to the business of the
road; that the entire property
is In the possession and un-
der control Of the court and
the court should protect its property and
not permit the eXRctions Of illegal taxes, so
declared by the court in March, 1892.
Upon hearing the petition Judge Simon
son signed the following order;
1t appears by the petition that certain per
sonal property alleged to be in the custody of
the court, and in the hands and under control
of the receiver duly appointed, has been seized
by and under an execution for taxes alleged to
be unlawful and not due or payable. Ii is
ordered that NJ. c. Mitchell and NJ V. Tyler
treasurer and sheriff of Aiken county, show
cause at Charleston on Feb. 20 why they
should not be attached and punished
for contempt of court: also why they should
not be enj0ined and restrained from interfering
with any or all of the property of the South
Carolina railway. In the meantime a temporary
injunction is granted restraining the officials
from levying upon the property in question.
Similar writs were issued at the suit of
the Richmond and Danville railroad citing
the sheritfs and treasurers Of Abbeville,
Anderson and Newberry counties for con-
tempt, the rule in these latter cases being
made returnahle at Graceville on March 8.
A detachment of United States deputy
marshals was sent out on this afternoons
trains TO serve the papers
In all these cases the railroads have paid
taxes based on the original assessments of
their property. The county auditors, how
ever, raised these assessments, il Is
claimed, arbitrarily and illegally, and
the court has so decided. The governor g
orders to the treasurers and sheriffs are to
go ahead with executions peremptorily.
The Intervention of the federal courts will
probably produce something Of an exciting
clash of authority.

brings back from New York this time
chiefly negative information about the csbi-

all the members of the cabinet have not
been decided upon, but on the contrary
there are more vacancies than filled places.
1t is inferred from what he says that be-
