Those Louisiana sugar planters who
have gone over to the protection camp
on the bounty question are hardly likely
to receive much comfort from the Re.
publicans. The sentiment for free sugar
IS as strong among the Republicans as
it is among the Democrats. We are
speaking, Of course, of those members OF
both parties who do not wear the collar
Of the Sugar Trust. In the Senate,
where that trust was able to call to its
service the Gorman-Aldrich alliance,
the House Free Sugar bill was not al.
lowed to come to vote, hut the vote in
the House showed a practical unanimity
of sentiment on this issue. The vote in
the House on the supplementary Free
Sugar bill stood 30 to II. Six of the
eleven votes against the passage of the
bill were cast by the Louisiana Con-
gressmen, while all Of the Republican
members, with the exception of two or
three, voted with the Democratic ma
jority for free sugar. When the McKin-
ley Congress was distributing special
favors in every direction, little surprise
was felt at its bestowal Of a bounty Oh
sugar, but now people are asking the
very natural question why sugar
planters, any more than cotton or corn
planters, should be authorized to draw
millions annually from the national

J. v. BRIGHToN's RECORD.
The Man Who Is Said to Have Be-
trayed Evans,

Judge Slack said yesterday that the cap
ture of Evans and MorIell, which is at
tributed by some TO the perfidy of j. V.
Brighton, recalled to his memory certain
facts and circumstances relating TO the
last appearance of Brighton in this city.
In the first place Brighton figured promi-
nently as a witness in The divorce suit
brought by Edward A. Palmer, Larkin-
street saloon keeper, against his wife
Mary. In this case j. Paul Spence of
Fresno was made the correspondent, and
unblushingly told on the witness-stand of
his relations with the defendant. Similar
testimony was given by Brighton. This
occurred in June last
Brighton then departed for the south,
taking with him large amount of ammu-
milton and rife. Although nominalIy
following the profession of a detective he
is alleged to have supplied Evans from
time to time with the means of self-protec-
tion 10 his hiding place In the mountains.
Besides. Brighton further distinguished
himself by testifying in the disbarment
proceedings against Ben f. Napthaly, so
that his career is not unknown to residents
of San Francisco.

MILLS AND SUGAR.
Two of the Troubles of Mr.. Voor-
hees' Committee.

WASHINGTON. Feb. q. The Senate
Committee on Finance was the scene of
two changes to-day. 1t was announced
authoritatively at noon that Mills would
retire from the committee and Mcpherson
resume his seat. Mills himself confirmed
the report. When the Senate adjourned
this evening Mills stated that there had
been a reconsideration. Mcpherson did
not believe himself in state of health to
warrant undertaking the work of full
member of the committee and had asked
Mills to continue as member in his stead,
which the latter would do.
The second change has set at rest a num-
Der of rumors af1oat as to the cause of the
first change One of these was to the
effect that it was brought about by the
dissatisfaction Of Eastern Dem ocraiic Sem
ators with the work of the subcommittee.
This dissatisfaction certainly exists to a
degree, but is is understood that 1t is
directed at the bill generally, and some of
she dlsagreements have been harmonized.
Sugar remains the principal disturbing
element. and member of the Finance
Committee said to-day that but for the
difficulty of reaching an agreement upon
this article the Democratic members would
be prepared to make report tomorrow.
There are other differences that have not
been arranged, but they are on articles of
comparatively little importance and could
be agreed upon in little time.
Secretary Carlisle was at the Capitol for
a short time this afternoon, and there IS
ground for presuming that his mission was
in the interest Of harmony and the presen-
tation of a solid front from the time the
bill is reported. A Republican member of
the committee said be felt confident the
Democratic members would agree upon
the sugar schedule before presenting tteir
report, and he expressed the opinion that

Pacific toward the immigrant clearing

The Rock Island to-day postponed a
reconciliation by announcing that it will
not agree to the Union Paciic's demand of

share of the immigrant clearinghouse

this is practically allowing the Union Pa
