FRESH CHARGES.
A Correspondent and Other Witnesses
Before the Committee.


WASHINGTON, July 21.-The Senate SUI
gar investigating committee resumed it's
work to-day in the old-time manner Only
Senators Gray, Lindsay and Davis were
present, but they had several witnesses
before them. and announced a determine
ton to proceed with the work so long as
there was any possibility of securing wit
nesses who would furnish any testimony.
The most important witness of the day
was Henry Rood, the New York Herald
reporter who wrote the articles in that
paper upon which the present branch of the
inquiry is based Mr. Rood was examined
at length as to the sources of his informa-
ton, and especial effort was made by the
members TO get the best information at
Mr. Roods command as TO his statements
that United States Senator's had been spec
ulating in sugar stocks since the tariff bill
was taken up in the Senate, despite their
denials. 1t is understood that Mr.. Rood
responded to this request as fully as he
was able to do. and professed a willing
ness 10 aid the committee to the extent
of his ability. 1t was impossible to secure
the details of the testimony.
When Senator Gray was asked for a
statement as to the proceedings he replied
that he could say nothing. and that it was
the intention of the committee not to give
out any information until the present
branch of the inquiry was completed. The
reason given for taking this position is
that the publication of the facts ELECTED
would interfere with the plans of the COM
mittee and prevent as complete an inquiry
as they desire TO make To-day's wit
1esseS, therefore, were informed that thew
were on the same plane as witnesses before
a grand jury, and were warned against
divulging the proceedings TO any one 9th
err witnesses of the day were w. b. Wheel
er, a New York broker and A NJ Seip,
of this city. Mr.. Wheeler stated to the
committee that he had never placed any
orders for Senators for sugar stock and
was unable to give any information Mr.
Seip has been represented in the newspa-
pers as saying that he had come into pos
session of knowledge of the fact that GER
tain Senators had placed orders for sugar
stock during the spring and to have stated
that il was placed with man then repre-
senting the firm of Seymour, Young & Co.,

Bad nerves are frequently very trouble

the bud before they get too audacious and

At garden concert the other evening
very fine-loOking. elderly woman. in a
highly desirable seat, seemed to be labor
ing under a mysterious malady. She
twisted about. she wriggled. she rubbed
her hands together excitedly, she leaned
back and shut her eyes if in despera-
ton. What could be the matter with her?
She did not seem warm, for she did not
fan. and she looked too we'll to be on the
verge of a stroke of any kind. Suddenly
the mystery solved Before her sat a
lovely summer girl, clad in a charming
fluffy gown of silk gauZe. The perturbed
old lady leaned and touched her on the
shoulder. Then she said:
Young lady, your gown is beautiful. but
il is made with the stripes running bias
your back, and they drive me nearly
frantic. Would you mind changing seats
with me. so L can't see them? If you don't
L shall certainly have TO go home"
And the charming girl changed seats
with her.

KANSAS CITY. July H.-The Modern
Miller prints an article to-day showing up
what it calls trust formed by the Trunk
Line Association of railroads. The effect
OF this trust. it says. will be to prevent
exporters inspecting shipments at seaboard
points. The Modern Miller prints the fol-
lowing resolutions, and claims that the
Trunk Line Association freight committee
adopted them on July 10, 1891:
Resolved That the following resolutions
OF this committee, adopted Nov. l, 1892, be
reaffirmed:
Resolved, That instructions be given to
foreign freight agents and other agents
handling export property at the seabOard
that reports regarding the condition of ex-
port flour handled on through bills of lad
ing shall not be furnished TO shippers or
shippers agents.
Resolved, That inspection by mfIIers
representatives OF flour forwarded on
through bills of lading shall not be allowed
at the seabOard.
Resolved, That each trunk line will no.
tify all Western agents issuing through
bills OF lading on export freight over its
lines not 10 insert any clause i'm such

Inspection at the seaboard

TO SKIM OFF THE CREAM.
Plan for Divertlng Freight Business
10 the Southern Pacific.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2O-The Exam
iner says: 'The sensation in local railroad
circles is the discussion OF what was con-
sidered plan devised by the Southern
Pacific to skim off the cream of the freight
business for the Sunset Route" in which
Huntington. Croker ct al. are interested,
to the exclusion of the Central Pacific line,
in which the government of the United
States and divers stockholders and bond
owners are interested. Although the Cen
tral Pacific line has been open for passen-
ger trains for several days, business men
have been notified that freight could
be sent over the road further than Sacra-
mento. The result has been that all mer-
chandise accepted for transcontinental
transportation has been subject to the end
that 1t shall go by the way of the Sunset
Route" through Mojave, FL Paso and New
Orleans.
The object OF the managers in this char
acteristic piece of business is easily COM
pretended" said a railroad agent. 'SThe
Southern Pacific owns the through line
from this city to New Orleans, on which
it gets all the money that is paid for
freights from San Francisco to New Or
leans. 1t Is quite different thing when
the Central Pacific line is considered, for
then the Southern managers at best are
only interested in the travel to Ogden,
the g0Vernment-aided roads are given the
go-by for the benefit Of the Sunset Route
1t IS to the interest OF Southern Pacific
managers to have freight sent via the
New Orleans line, and for that reason the
Southern route was thrown open first. AS
a general rule business men Of San Fran
cisco dislike to have products transported
by the Sunset Route account OF the
excessive heat of the deserts through which
the road runs. 1t Is therefore difficult, I'M
der normal conditions, to turn shipments
that way, but great many merchants be-
came weary on account of the strike, and
as soon as they saw an opening they start
ed their merchandise eastward, preferring
TO take the chances OF damage by heat
rather than to wait indefinitely for the
Central route to open. 1t Is known that New
York shipments were sent by way of New
Orleans because the Southern Pacific COM
pany said 1t did not know when the Ogden
route would be open.
1.-The business men of San Francisco are
not the only sufferers by this bit of sharp
practice. 1t cuts out from participation in
the freight business OF California all the
lines having Western connections at Og-
den, and their agents are not slow to ex-
press themselves in forcible language on
the subject. The roads most affected are
Chicago Milwaukee & St Paul, the Bur-
lington route, the Chicago & Northwestern
and the Chicago, Rock Island a Pacific
All these roads are in good running order
and feel the injustice that Is done to them
By dverting the business that would nat
urally go their way to the comparatively
insignificant Sunset Route for which the
managers Of the Southern Pacific are do
ing so much.

The worst OF the matter Is that there seems
