THE RATE A FAIR ONE.
Mr.. Baxfer's Opinion of That Great

-AE. DdAteE OF In8T GFeat
Loan.
New York, May 18.-In the Northern
Pacific investigation today, w. S. Bull,
ex-president of the stock exchange,
and an ex-director of the Northern Pa
cific, testified that he understood the
reason for the leasing the Wisconsin
Central was due to a desire to secure
control of certain Chicago terminals,
which could not be done under the traf-
fic agreement between the Northern
Pacific and Wisconsin Central.
The request that a lease be secured
came from the operating department.
He had talked with Mr.. Cakes and Mr..
Willard on the subject, and they were
both in favor of the lease.
George S. Baxter, being recalled, tes-
titled the Northern Pacific loaned
S., 000, 900 to the Wisconsin Central,
which, in turn, loaned it TO the Oregon
& TranscontinentaIroa to enable the
latter to buy up the Chicago terminals
and turn them over to the Northern
Pacific.
do you think Sc per cent. pretty
good commission for this workF asked
Mr.. Petit.
Mr.. Baxter thought the rate a fair
one and said some one had to act as
intermediary.

Washington, May S.-Representative
Dunphy, of New York. had hearing
today before the house rules committee
on his resolution to investigate naval
armor plate frauds
He went into the details of the frauds
to show the committee the desirability
Of probing the matter to the bottom.
Mr.. Dunphy said the frauds for which
the government had already assessed
the Carnegie company $4,000 occurred
between November. 1892, and Septen-
Der, 1893. The same class of evidence.
he said. showed that similar irregulari-
ties occurred prior to November, 1892,
and subsequently to September, 1893.
1t was further urged that the investiga-
ton now being made by officers of the
navy department would be futile, as
there was no power to summon wit
neSses or to administer oaths to those
who voluntarily appeared. Mr.. Dun
ply had statistics showing that $780,,
600 would soon fall due to the Carnegie
company. The payment could not be
delayed, and if once made it would cut
off an investigation and destroy all
means of redress.
Speaker Crisp and his associates on
the committee questioned Mr.. Dunphy
on the details of the alleged frauds.
He specified one instance in which an
armor plate on the Monterey is said
to contain blow hole eighteen inches
long. The man who saw the hole
when the plate was cast, it was al
legged, dropped his card in the hole. and
is said to be ready to locate the de-
fective plate and identify it by his
card.
The committee took no action. but
Mr. Dunphy believes they will report
back the resolution with a recommends
ton that will start the investigation at

NO FURTHER STEPS.
Plan of the Tariff Managers on .he
Sugar Scale.


Sugar Scale.
Washington, May 1S.-The tariff man.
ayers of the House have determined TO
take no further steps toward off-setting
the tariff increases in sugar and other
tariff amendments to the appropriation
bills.
The purpose had been to amend the
legislative appropriation by a provision
making sugar free.
Representative Breckenridge, of Ar
kansas, of the Ways and Means COM
mittee, recently proposed new resolu-
ton permitting tariff amendments to
appropriation bills. Chairman Sayres,
Representative Carey introduced SIM
liar bills.
These various bills went to the Com
mittee on Rules, where they have not
been acted upon. Notwithstanding this
fact, the legislative appropriation bill
was called up today, and it will be
passed without any tariff riders.
In deciding on this course, the tariff
leaders in the House concluded it would
be unwise to take any step which might
embarrass the tariff bill, as a whole,
in the Senate. They say, however. that
the Introduction of the Breckenridge
rule is having the effect of influencing
conservative action. Having accom-
plished this much, the House leaders
do not think it advisable to openly re-
contest on sugar until the Senate goes
further along on the bill.
This conclusion applies to sugar du-
ties, but not to the bounty. 1t is said
the abolition of the bounty may be done
lege of any member to offer bounty
amendment

FOUGHT IN THE RIyER.

st. Louis, May 1S.-A peculiar fight
occurred at the foot of Olive street.
The principals were Captain w. H.
Thoregman, in charge of the excursion
steamers Grand Republic and CITY of
Vicksburg, and Captain Harry B. Ro-
laski of the opposition fleet, composed
of the Pargould and State of Kansas.
The two captains have been on bad
terms for some time over the landing
privileges at the foot of Olive street.
They met or the wharf boat and were
soon engaged in a personal encounter.
They had exchanged only a few blows
when both tunlbled into the muddy
waters of the Mississippi. The water
was only about four feet deep, and as
soon as they regained their feet they
sprang at each other and renewed the
fight. Policemen hauled them out, how
ever, and they were arrested, but later
released under bond.

DUBOIS IN DISGRACE.
Radical Eastern Republicans Do Not
Like His Views.

Washington, D. c., May 1S.-[special.l
Senator Dubois is to be highly COM
mended because of his position
against f1libustering on the part of the
Senate Republicans. He wants action
on the tariff question, even though he
will not vote fer the measure. He
says he thinks the majority should
rule, and the Senate be given an oppor-
tunity to consider some of the impor-
tant bills on the calendar. He realizes
that delay means prolonged stagnation
of business in the west, ard the post
ponement of consideration of the Utah
statehood bill
Radical Republican senators from the
east are much incensed with Dubois.
They want to keep up the fight, even
if it takes all summer.

The old story.

Lima, O., May 1S.-A couple of
strangers drove up the house of John
Applin, a wealthy Wood county far
mer, and made him a proposition to
buy his farm. 1t was the old game
of a deck of cards, a roll of green
backs, the farmer winning, and he
went to the bank and drew $4,000 to
prove to them that he was worth that
amount. The money he drew from the
bank and what he had won was put
into a box. When he arrived home and
attempted to open it. he found he could

Prime Mover Coffin Endeavors to
Explain.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 1S.-F. A.
Coffin, prime mover in the wrecking OF
the Indianapolis National bank, was on
the stand all day. He explained the
reasons for establishing the branch con-
Germs in New York, London, Richmond
and Boston, which he said was part OF
a scheme of all the principal desk man
ufacturers of the country. Drafts on
these concerns that were "kited" to
establish a shadow credit in the bank
were placed in the bank to make the
bank a creditor of them, for it's protec-
ton, as it had a lien on the property
shipped from the Cabinet company.
ss-eXamination showed during the
past years the debt of the bank was
accommodating and the Cabinet com
pany had paid dividends to the amount
of $40 600
