WASHINGTON, June 13.-Mr. Have
meyer, who yesterday stated that he
could not give the amounts of the sugar
trusts contribution to the campaign
funds of the different states. but indi-
Gated a willingness to do so, said to the
committee today that upon consultation
with counsel he would decline to give
the amounts Of the contributions. He
was advised that under the terms of the
resolution the amount Of such contTibu-
tions was no part of the investigation.
The committee also took this view of
the matter, as the witness has sworn that
no contributions had been made in any
case to secure the election of United
States senators.
Mr.. Havemeyer stated that in the last
three years the profits of the trust had
been Is Of cent per pound on refined
sugar. and the increased cost to the con-
summer. under the proposed bill. would
be cent a pound He admitted that the
purpose Of the formation of the trust
was to increase the cost to the American
consumers.
Senator AIlen-"And when you did
form the trust you did advance the price
Of sugar to the American consumer"
Mr.. Havemeyer-"We did. 1t was an
advance CT about quarter of a cent
net"
Senator Anen-"And the American
consumer is today paying three-eighths
OF a cent a pound on refined sugars more
than he would be compelled to pay un-
der a system of separate refneries?"
Mr.. Havemeyer-''Yes sir"
Senator Allen-"If the trust were
wiped out the American consumer would
81
eighths of cent per pound on his
bugar?"
Mr.. Havemeyer-"I will admit that.
But anything that will wipe out the
rust will wipe out the industry"
John A. Searles, secretary and treas
hrer of the American sugar refining COM
pany, was the subject of the committees
questions from 3 o'clock until this
Afternoon.
Mr.. Searles frankly admitted that h.
pad made il his business in influence
legislation favorable to the sugar trust
and that for this purpose had called
ppon and labored with many sena tors.
The witness stood upon his rights how
over. and when asked about the cam
paign contributions declined in several
Instances TO answer questions on this
subject He declined to state the amount
expended in 1892 on the ground that it
was not within the province OF the in
auiry.
do you not" asked Senator Allen,
decline TO state simply because You
know it was disreputable and unlawful
TO contribute this money!"
mo, sir; do not" replied Mr.. Searles,
''admit anything of the kind 4"
Senator Allen-''Do you think 1t is per-
fectly laudable for the American sugar
refining company to contribute large
sums of money, by the thousands of
dollars, for the purpose Of influencing
elections in this country"
Mr.. Searles-'I have always under
stood for many years that it is the Gus
tom Of both parties to solicit from cor
porations and individuals contributions
for the carrying on of their political
campaigns, and that it is the custom Of
corporations and individuals TO respond
TO such invitations. And with that I'M
Outstanding and what 1 believe to be
a general custom the American sugar re-
filming company has made such contribu-
tons at times"
Senator Allen-"Do you believe it is

The News at Pittsburg.

PITTSBURG, June 16.-The news Of
the suicide of Thomas NJ. Bayne created
intense excitement in this city. People
who read the announcement on the bull
letin boards could hardly believe it. Just
what caused him to commit such a rash
deed puzzled his most intimate friends
Some of them. however, have been aware
that he has not been in very good health
for a long while.
Col. Bayne was fifty years old last
Thursday. He entered the union army
in July, so, as colonel of the One-hun-
dred-and- thirty-sixth Pennsylvania vol
unteers, which he commanded during it's
nine months service. At the close of the
war he was admitted to the Allegany
county bar. and in 1870 was elected dis
congress from the Twenty-third district
serving until 1890, when he voluntarily
resigned, on account of i'll health. He
was married to a daughter Of Mr.. Smith,
of the well-known firm Of Hostetter &
Smith. She was very wealthy, having
acquired a large fortune through her
father.

snug fortune. He was the founder of

Resolutions Passed Mt Linton Indicat-
ing Much Dissatisfaction.

LINTON. June 15.-Special-At mass
meeting of miners today, after reading
some kilograms and official bulletin No
Z, a committee on resolutions was ap-
pointed.
The committee reported the following:
Whereas, The compromise as agreed to
by the conference of our officers with the
representatives of the operators on the
18th at Columbus, O., is so completely in
opposition TO all our hopes and aspra-
we had a right to hope for that we take
this means of expressing our disSatisfac-
ton; therefore be il
Resolved That in view of the large and
con tinued acceSSiOnS to our organizat ton,
together with the very encouraging re-
ports coming from all quarters up to and
during the time of this so-called settlement,
we fail to see anything to discourage or
weaken our national officers; therefore, be
IL further
Resolved That we cannot refrain from
blaming them for Surrendering our cause
az such a critical time: and be II further
Resolved That in view of the general
dissatisfaction as expressed by the mem
bers of our organization at large, we de-
mand the resignation of such officers as
signed this mis-named compromise (wheth-
er state or nationaD and we favor ma
tional convention to take action in the
premises, either by generating them or
electing their successors; and be It further
Resolved That we, the miners of Lin
ton, irrespective of all agreements or eff
forts at compromise, are still unalterably
in favor of standing for the 70-cent basis.
The foregoing resolutions were read
and then acted on in sections and

NEW YORK, June 15.-Erastus Wi
man has been found guilty of forgery
in the second degree. The maximum
penalty for the offense is ten years at
hard labor in the state prison. Under
the recent laws passed by the legislature
the minimum penalty has been abolished
and Mr. Wiman may be sentenced to a
term of Imprisonment from one day to
ten years.
The jury, after listening to the impair
tial charge of Judge Irgraham, retired
at 2:35. Everyone in court was on the
tip-toe of expectation. The majority,
however, were confident that he jury
would disagree on the grounds of alb
sence Of proof that Wiman committed
the alleged forgeries with criminal in
tent.
The first shock that the defendant re-
ceived was when Deputy Sheriff Brown
placed him under arrest the moment
that Judge Ingraham began his charge
TO the jury.
Wiman's sons sat beside him and a
number of his friends sat around. He
chatted pleasantly to them and his every
movement showed that he was confident
of an acquittal, or at least disagree
ment.
Precisely at 4:3O. just an hour and
fifty-five minutes after they had retired,
the jury filed into the court room.
The clerk said to the jury: Gentle
men, have you agreed to a verdict"
Yes, we have" said Foreman Muir
ray. At am sorry to say we find Mr..
Wiman guilty Of forgery in the second
degree, but we recommend him to the
mercy of the court"
Judge Ingraham remanded Wiman for
sentence until Wednesday, June 20, and
then discharged the jury.
Deputy Sheriffs Brown and Kelly
escorted Wiman to the Tombs prison
His sons accompanied him and babe him
an affectionate good-by at the prison
gate. In answer to the requests for an
interview, sent to him by several news
paper men, Mr. Wiman sent back this
written reply: Impossible to see you
now"
Gen. Tracy said: 81 am astonished at
the verdict, and until 1 can consult with
my associates 1 cannot say whether an
application for new trial will be made
or not

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 16.-In a
fit Of dependency, resulting from a long
and incurable illness. and depressed by
a sudden and violent attack of danger
Gus symptoms, Thomas NJ. Bayne, the
well-known Representative of the
Allegheny district in congress, at 1O:15
o'clock this morning forestalled the end,
by sending a bullet through his head,
killing himself instantly. At the time
Mr.. Bayne was alone in his handsome
and luxurious home at 1929 Massa-
chusetts-ave, in the most ultra-fashion-
able portion of the city, with the excep-
ton Of the servants, his wife being
temporarily absent in Philadelphia.
He had been i'll for a long time, and,
indeed, it was his bad health that in
duced him to relinquish his labors in Con-
gress, which had crowned him with dis
tinction. and where he had earned a
reputation as a clever, vigorous debater
and an expert on complexities of the
metal schedule of the tariff bills. About
eighteen months ago he was induced to
take a voyage around the world, and
when he returned last July it appeared
that he had improved. This gain was
but temporary, however, and he suffered
greatly from fits of depression conse-
quent upon the mutations of his disease,
which was consumption. Recently he
failed so that it became necessary to
have a trained nurse constantly with
him.
About O'Clock this morning he called
the nurse, and said he was suffering,
having just had a hemOrrhage, which
had covered his breast with blood. The
nurse did everything in ner power 10
make him comforts Bile. but at 10 o'clock,
when she was absent from the sick room
for a moment, a shot rang out. She
rushed back to find her patient lying
unconscious with a revolver beside him
and a CHASTITY hole in his right temple.
Medical help was speedily summoned
and DR.. Rowers responded, but when he
reached the bedside Mr.. Bayne had
breathed his last. Coroner Woodward,
who had also been called, soon appeared,
and decided that as the facts were so
evident an inquest was unnecessary. He
therefore gave the necessary certificate Of
death, self-inhicted
News of the sad event spread rapidly
and the Pennsylvania delegation in con-
gress being notified. the Hon. W. a.
Stone, Mr.. Bayne's successor in congress,
came TO the house and took charge of
addressing a telegram to Mrs. Bayne in
Philadelphia. The response was that she
would reach Washington this afternoon.
Meanwhile the funeral arrangements
will wait her decision, though it is ex-
pected that the body will be buried at
Allegheny where Mr.. Bayne's family is
bYried

latter returned with the assurance that
there was no basis for the assertion. The
senator had told Correspondent Howlapd
about this incident, Withholding from him
the name of Barnes's informant, which
had been communicated to him in con-
fidence. Senator Ransom advised the
committee to summon Mr.. Rowland and
see if his story did not correspond with
what had just been stated to the COM
mittee.
Senator Gray asked: Had you any
knowledge whatever until this interview
with Mr.. Rowland of the bets of your
son with this broker in sugar and cotton?"
Senator Ransom said: 81 never dreamed
of such a thing. 1 never thought Of il.
/ would not have believed IL. The truth
of it is, 1 went to my son with a great
deal of confidence when this correspondent
waited to see him. The paper shows that
when he bought the first stock l was out
Of the city. The 18th Of April was when
we were at Governor Vance's funeral at
AshevilIe.
81 may state to the committee that I
have no interest whatever and never had
stock since I have been in the senate"
The correspondents Edwards and Shri-
yer, who have been indicted by the grand
jury for refusing to answer the questions
Of the senate sugar trust investigating
committee, have been notified TO appear
for arraignment next Tuesday. They had
expected to be arraigned today and ap-
peared at the district attorneys office,
but were excused. 1t IS understood that
the grand jury is expected to complete
it's investigation Of the charge against
L. r. Chapman, the New York broker, at
the same time.

CORNELL WINS THE BOAT RACE
University of Pennsylvania Beaten
Skill VS.. Strength.

PHILADELPHIA, June 16.-At just
7:19 this evening the Cornell boat crew
glided smoothly over the line which
marked the finishing point of the race
between the Cornell and University of
Pennsylvania. Five lengths in the rear
came the vanquished Oarsmen of the red
and blue. Cornell's time was 21I2h, and
the university 21:34&. The Ithaicans
won easily. 1t was not lack of training
that caused the downfall Of the Pennsyl-
vania boys, for even the Comedians ad-
mitted that the University of Pennsyl-
vania crew was superior in muscular
strength, but it was a case Of skill against
Drawn and muscle, and skill won. The
rowing of the sons of Pennsylvania
lacked the rhythmic precision that char
acterized that of the Cornell boys.

functions. Corbett replies by declaring
that the bishop first appealed to a civil

MINERS ARE DIVIDED.
Some Districts Favor the Columbus
Scale, But Many Oppose II.


BELLAIRE. o., June 15--This after-
noon at the opera house here the coal
miners of this section Of Ohio held
Columbus compromise, nearly one thou
sand miners being present. The scale
was fully discussed for over four hours.
They could arrive at no conclusion and
adjourned TO await the outcome OF the
convention to be held in Columbus next
Tuesday. No mines will resume in Dis
trict No. 6. If the miners had accepted
60 cents, this being the great coal center
in Ohio, ii would have broken the strike,
as four thousand miners reside in this
county. Representatives of the press
were excluded from today's miners
meeting.
Miners at Straightsville have met,twice
since the Columbus compromise, but are
still at sea. One thousand five hundred
men met today to hear the Mcbride cir
cular, but adjourned without action.
The miners and operators Of Salem,
Washingtonville, New Lisbon and Rog-
ers will meet at New Lisbon tomorrow
to form a new scale. If one can be
agreed upon work will be resumed next
Thursday.
At a mass meeting of miners held at
Salineville today the men have decided
to refuse to go to work Monday at so
cents. Resolutions We're drawn calling
for the resignation of Mcbride and a
vote of thanks extended to President
Adams in refusing to sign the Columbus
agreement.
The miners of Barnhiu, Goshen and
Stone Creek, at mass meeting held this
afternoon, decided to a man to remain
out and continue the strike. About six
hundred miners are involved.
A joint meeting of miners at Mineral
Point and Sherrodsvilie. with over 500
miners represented, decided not to accept
TN71.,
but to submit the question to another
convention, thus indorsing State President
Adams.
At a meeting of the coal miners of the
Panhandle of West Virginia this even
ing the Columbus compromise scale of 60
cents was accepted. Tomorrow the min
ers and operators will confer as to day
laborers' wages and other details.

A Good Appetite

an absence of appetite is an indication
OF something wrong. The loss of a ra-

by lack of strength, for when the supply

versal testimony given by those who
have used Hoods Sarsaparilla, as to it's
great merits in restoring and sharpen
ing the appetite, in promoting healthy
action of the digestive organs, and as a
purifier of the blood, constitutes the
strongest recommendation that can be
urged for any medicine. Those who
have never used Hoods Sarsaparilla
should surely do so this season.

States Destroying Property.

PITTSBURG, June 15.-Cuffey station,
on the Baltimore & Ohio road. twenty
five miles south of this city, was the
scene last night of considerable lawless-

gether with two gondola cars. An hour
later an attempt was made to wreck the
through express by wedging a tie in a
frog. The express leaves Pittsburg at
9:2O O'Clock and fortunately was running
so fast that the tie was reduced TO
splinters and the train sped on without
the passengers being aware of their mar
row escape. The strikers deny responsible
ity for the outrage and guards have been
placed along the road to prevent further
damage
