plainly visible from town and accompan.
led by terrible warning sounds. Nurses

NEWLY AMENDED SUGAR SCHEDULE.
All the Democrats Who See 1t, Except
blanchard, Accept the Scheme.

AL tho Democrats VINO See 1t, Except
Blanchard, Accept the Scheme.
WASHINGTON, June 20 - The amended
sugar schedule which will probably be of
fered when the tariff bill gets through the
senate committee of the whole has been
put into shape by Senator Jones' 1t was
accepted by all to who m it was shown eX-
cept Senator Blanchard. The amendment
as prepared changes the date when the
sugar schedule shall go into effect from
the 1st of January to the time of the pas
sage of the bill, and provides for a con-
tinuation of part of the bounty for the
present year, giving nine-tentEs of "a cent
bounty per pound on sugar testing above
9O degrees by the polariscope and eight
tenths on sugar testing below % degrees
and above 80 degrees.
The secretary of the treasury is also
authorized to refrain from imposing the
additional duty of one-tenth of a cent upon
sugar imported from countries paying an
export duty where it is demonstrated to
his satisfaction that the producer has not
received the bounty. Blanchard's OBJ
lection is understood to be based upon the
ground that a part of the bounty of 2
cents for the present year is withdrawn,
but the aim of the trainers of the bill is
" uNolu giving uOuDle projection TO unlS
! article, and they agree that if the duty
is to go into effect Immediately the bounty
| should be abated to the extent of the pro-
lection afforded by the 40 per cent. duty,
which the sugar schedule rs Mt present ar.
| ranged will afford.
There are one or two Democratic MEM
bers OF the finance committee to whom
the amendments have not yet been sub
mitted. The developments of the day
| confirm the report of conference between
| lrby and the three Populist senator's
| Allen, Kyle and PETER. They will oppose
the ditierential duty of Is of cent a
| pound on refined sugar, and may carry
their opposition to the eX5ent of antaG'
! onizing any duty at all on sugar. Their
| present plans do not extend TO the final
vote on the bill as a whole, and the Dem.

THE CONVENTION ON
The Alabama Contest to be Finally
Decided.
CAPTAIN JOHNSON CLAIMS ELECTION.
n Oates Men Declare They Have Already
Won and That the State Conven-
ton Will Merely Verify the
County Returns.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 23.-The
delegates to the Democratic state con-
vention have been coming in all day.
So far there is nothing to indicate any
change from the figures heretofore sent
out Of 272 delegates for the nomination
Of Oates for Governor and 232 for John
ston.
The state committee met yesterday
morning. Congressman Clarke, of the
Mobile district, was selected for tenn
porary chairman. lie made a warm
canvass for Col. Oates. In the extra
session of congress-, he voted with Col.
Oates for repeal of the Sherman law,
and is an acknowledged friend of the
Cleveland administration.
In the committee there wa no oppo
sitiOn to his selection. The vote of the
committee present IS about Il for Oates
and II for Johnston There is a rumor
hat the Johnston men will make a
fight for the temporary organization
on the floor of the convention
by nominating one of their number for
temporary chairman. This rumOr has
not been authenticated, and, while
talked about. the effort will hardly be
made. The state committee, which has
to agree upon the roll of delegates, has
three contests before it. None have
been decided. The n from Lee will
probably stand as it is, with the Oates
delegation confirmed in their right to
seats. There is no outgiving from the
committee, but there seems to be an
impression hat the contest from Col
bert by Oates men is not a strong one.
In Hale county there are a great many
irregularities alleged, and the Oates
Delegates are presenting their case in
a strong light. 1t is more than proba-
BILE, however, that the other delegation
will be allowed to retain their contested
seats. This decision by the com
mittee would not change a figure.
Two candidates in strength would
remain as they are. Oates could
lose zee and thus give his opponent
every contested delegate and still have
a decided majority. There does not
| seem to be a possibility of his defeat.
The convention meets at - o'clock TO-
| daV.

INVESTIGATING THE CHARGES.
The Special Committees Searching Cross
Examination of Witnesses.


Examination OF Witnesses.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The spe cial
committee appointed to investigate the
charges of bribery alleged to have been
attempted by Major Buttz, and also to
consider the doings of the sugar trust
in connection with legislation, held
two sessions today behind closed doors,
and with newspaper men and the pub
lie excluded. They first began a fe
minutes after 10 o'clock and lasted un-
til l o'clock, whence recess for an hour
was taken. During the recess Senator
Gray, speaking for the committee, said
that as 500 as this case was concluded
the committee would print the testi-
monya and lay it before the senate. He
said that it would be pretty much on
the line of hal which has heretofore
appeared in the newspapers. but with
more detail. The fact that a direct offer
of money was made has been proven
by one witness at least. according to
the statement of the chairman Of the
committee.
Senator Hunton knew nothing except
upon hearsay evidence, but told the
committee what he had learned from
his son. Eppa Hunter, Jr., was next
put on the stand, and told the commit
tee how he had been approached by
Major Butte and offered a sum of money
if he would induce&his father to vote
against the pending tariff. Senator
Kyle was on the stand longer than any
one else, for it was developed that the
offer to bride had been made to him
direct by the man who stands charged
with the commission of the offense.
At least this was the Interpretation put
upon the testimony by the committee.
Senator Kyle testified hat Mr.. Buttz
had offered him money for his vote,
saying that he could have $75. 900, and
made an offer of $14, 600 down.
Immediately after the committee met,
Buttz made a written request of the
chairman of the committee to be
present with his attorney and cross-ex-
anime witnesses. To this request nc
attention was given and Buttz subse-
quently gave his request to the press.
At the afternoon session of the commit
tee, Buttz was kept on the stand for up,
wards of three hours. The members Oh
the committee declined to say anything
pertaining to his evidence for the
reason that he has not yet concluded.
It is understood, however, that BUTT
denied vehemently that he has made
any attempt to bride the senators re
ferred to or any other persons. He
was accompanied by his attorney, Mr.
McGowan. 1t is also said hat none OF
the evidence so far adduced duplicates
any one other than Mr.. Buttz and tina
if there was any n behind him in the
alleged transaction the committee ha'
failed to discover who it was.
This committee will meet again today
at 10 o'clock.

Brutal Negro.

GREENSBORO, n. c., May 23.-The
people of Washington are stirred to a
boiling pitch over the brutal assault on
ayoung lady named Miss Sallie Phillips,
by a negro tiend. Miss Phillips, it
seems, started to walk from Burlington
to her home in the suburbs and was
followed by a negro man who, as soon
as he reached a favorable spot, as
saulted her, leaving his victim in the
woods by the road where she "a after
wards found.
Nearly everybody in Burlington, on
hearing the news, at once went on a
hunt for the negro who, if caught, will
undoubtedly be lynched.
Miss Phillips says she will have no
difficulty in recognizing the negro, as ii

groes were caught and carried before
Miss Phillips this morning, but neither
