CHAPMAN IS MUM.
He Merely Says That Brice Did Not
Speculate.

Speculate.
Washington. June &c. R. CHAPMAN.
of the New York brokerage firm of Moore
& Schley, was before the investigation
committee again today. He declined yes
terday to answer questions concerning his
Ilfnl S handling of Sugar stock to consult
counsel.
He saw Judge Schlebarger, of this city.
last night, and obtained a written opin-
ION from him as to his legal rights. This
opinion is supposed to have been to the
effect that he could not be compelled 10
answer. The question wheather their
firm had bought and sold Sugar stocks
for or in the interest of any senator was
put in various forms, SO as to cover
every month since February. but the in
variable response was a refusal to an
swer. Asked If he had anything further
to say he added:
AT the session of the committee yes
terday, a. letter was read from Senator
Brice that caused me some embarrass-
ment. 1t was surprise, as l had no
intimation that such a letter would be
sent to the committee. I will so far de-
nounced as to testify that since the
Hon. Calvin S. Brice became a member
of the Senate of the United States he
has not bought or sold through our house
directly or indirectly, a share of stock
of the American Sugar Refining company,
or share of stock of any industrial COM
pany dealt in on the New York stock
exchange"
Further than this, he declined to speak.
even when senators accused of specula-
ton waived any privilege of secrecy he
might have. The committee decided to
certify his case to the Senate as in those
of the newspaper correspondents.

b SITUATION GROWING GRAVE.
Spirit of Anarchy Pervades Their
Breasts.

ACharleston, W. Va, June 9-Five
companies of state military are tonight
at Boggs Run, and more will be there
by Monday Late this evening, the
governor was advised that the situa-
ton was growing more grave. Over
three hundred men thronged the yards,
which extend practically from Benwood
to Wheeling, over three miles. The dis
patches stated that a party of $50 strik-
ers had crossed the mountain to inter-
cept westbound trains hauling soldiers
and coal.
At p. m. no information Of any out
break had been received. Governor
McCorkle said tonight:
while there has been no serious
trouble at Bogg's Run such as loss of
life or any great damage to property,
yet I regard the situation as very
grave. The strikers are now awed by
the presence Of armed forces, but the
spirit of anarchy, that to greater or
less extent pervades the bosoms of the
strikers who use violence to accom-
plish their objects, is still there, though
it cannot be exhibited. I hardly believe
anything serious will occur after all the
troops get on the ground, but forces
will not settle it.
