THE RASCAL RUN DOWN.
But His Name Is Withheld for

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The senate
sugar trust investigating committee is
devoting itself in the branch of the in
quiry which 1t is now pursuing to ferret
ing out the origin of the rumors affect
ing senators, and the members of the
committee now think with fair pros
pect of success. They are of the opinion
that the stories accusing senators of
speculation in sugar stock, and of hav-
ing been Influenced in their attitude to-
wards the tariff bill by friendly in
terest in the sugar trust, have had a
common origin, and they now think
they have obtained a clue which will
enable them to develop the source Of

given by the witnesses before the com

vidual as the party responsible for the
charges which have been set afioat
He Is not resident of Washing
ton, and his present whereabouts have
not been definitely ascertained, but it is
understood that no effort will be spared
to find him and bring him before the
committee, and thus give him an oppor-
tunity to make good the charges. There
is an impression among members of the
committee that he has sought to avoid
appearing before the committee, while
striving to give it all the work posi- BILE.
The name of this man is sacredly
guarded. and It is understood that the
desire to prevent his identity becom-
ing known is one of the committees
reasons for refusing to give out the tes-
timony now being taken. The commit
tee is not impressed with the truth of
the charges. but the members of it take
the position that 1t is due to senators
whose names have been mentioned in
this connection, and TO the country at
large, that the facts should be known.

Warner, president of the American BIZ
metallic league, has issued the follow
ing address:
"The country has now had years
experience under the gold standard pol
icy since the acts of 1898 closing the
mints of India and the stoppage OF the
coinage of silver in the United States.
The results of this experience are man.

soon complete its work, and the general

tiOn of United States senators, have
already been entered upon, and the
campaign for the election of members

greSS Will soon begin. In view of these
conditions, the executive committee of
the American Bimetall!c league have
thought it advisable to call conference
of those who believe that no permanent
improvement in the condition of the
country can be hoped for as long as the
present gold standard policy is pursued,
and who favor the immediate restora-
ton of the bimetallic standard in the
United States with the free coinage of
both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to

restore prosperity to the people.

GROUP OF MINES sALTED.
"A British Capitalist Brings Suit
to Recover


SAN FRANCIS co, July 22.-G. Rem
saw, a British capitalist, has comm enced
suit in the United States district court

sale of the Bears Nest group of mines
in Alaska was accomplished by fraud.
He accuses. James Treadwell. John
Treadwell, Capt. James Carroll. NJ. w.
Murray. N. A. Fuller aud George j.
Smith with conspiracy to make the sale
by placing gold bearing rock from the
rich TreadweH mine in barren mines
adjoining, and treating the core
from diamond drill with chloride
of gold to make showing
OF rich ore. He asserts he has con-
fession of the entire fraud. He declares
that three British experts were deceived
in the salted mine. Each one said it
would yield profit of S1,O00, 600 year.
The enormous amount of money in
volyed. the prominence of the parties to
the suit and the charges of fraud make
this disclosure the sensation of the day
in mining circles. The mines were sold
to British investors for $2,5OO,OOO in
stock and S1,500,000 in bonds drawing Z
per cent interest," This was in 1887
and no gold has ever been taken from
them. The projectors OF the sale have
