SENATORS TESTIFY.
Where the Blame Is Placed In the Sugar
Frauds Case

WASHINGTON, June 5-The senate re-
ceived yesterday the stenographer's re-
port of what the various senator's, Secre-
tary Carlisle and Representative Dewitt
Warner testified to in the Sugar Trust in
vestigation. 1t contained little signifi-
canoe beyond what has already been pub
lished, except that Senator Mcpherson
found IL necessary to make a more elab-
crate explanation OF his sons purchases Of
sugar stock.
Whatever Secretary Carlisle did in ad
vising the finance committee in the prep
aration of the sugar schedule, was done
upon Senator Jones' request, because the
secretary had in his department: tba data
upon which the committee was to found
its action. On this both Mr.. Jones and
Mr.. Carlisle agree. The former asked for
draft of the schednle to be made after
memoranda which he had provided, and
the secretary furnished it. This draft
was afterward changed somewhat.
Senator Harris testimony consisted of
a general and specific denial Of all the al
legations upon which the investigation Is
based. He had never. he said, heard of
the reported secret visit of Secretary Car
Isle to the finance compittee, or of any
suggestions he had made with regard to
a sugar bounty. He also stated that he
had never invested In stocks Of any kind.
and IL other senators had bought sugar
stocks, he was unaware of the fact

IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.
A United States Inspector Testinss In Regard to
the Armor Plato Frauds

WASHINGTON, June O. The armor plate
investigation was resumed yesterday,
with Lieutenant Cowies of the Marble
head as the first witness. In May. 1891,
when the Carnegie plant was being built,
he had been appointed inspector at the
HON stead works Cory was then gen
eral superinten lent Of the armor works,
Kline was superintendent of the heating
departm ent.
The first plates had been furnished ip
January, 1892 for use. While 1t would
have been possible to retreat the plates,
the lieutenant did not think 10 had been
done. The first plates furnished were
for the Monterey @ne of these was sub
tected to the ballistic test. About week
had elapsed between the notification TO
the company that particular plate was
selected for test and it's shipmynt. He
probably would not have known il plate
had be - re- annealed or re-treated during
that period.
"The company had every opportunity
to retreat the plate at ntghtp asked
Chairman Cummings
''It certainly had that chance" the wit
ness replied. THE whole process OF re-
treating would require SO hours. and II
could not have been done in one night.
but might have been done In stages. The
first group Of plates was accepted and all
went on the Monterey. as did the second
group OF 13-inch plates"
The Lieutenant had not been In the
works at night or Sundays, work continu-
ing all the time. The medium plate of
each group had been selected for test. He
had no reason to think plates had been
re-treated. Lieutenant Gill had done
most OF the testing. In his opinion the
first two groups on the Monterey were
good plates. In the fourth group, case
ment plates for the Oregon. the company
had thrown out several.

above that of the previous year.
Many plantations allowed portions
OF last years cane TO go uncut, no,

heavy rains made it impossible TO cul

has now reached a very large growth,

"When you endeavor to explain
the mystery Of the universe bv the
mystery Of God, you do not even ex.
change mysteries-you simply make
one more The mystery of man can
not be explained by the mystery of
God. That mystery still asks for ex-

Again:
"The Bible, with its philosophy
and its folly, with its goodness and
its cruelty, is but the work of man."
Truer words were never spoken.
Man, and man alone, is directly re-
sponsble for all the bibles, creeds
and dosmas extant; and the man
who glories in the diabolica belief
that nine-teDths of the human race
are to be punished forever and eter-

During the struggle for life with
them an almost equally exciting scene
was in progress with the other ruff
fans.

The latter returned the fire.
Bullets flew in every direction.
Driver slavery had all he could do
to control his team, while the other
horses were left to their fate.
Strangely enough, neither of them
was injured by stray ball.
Finally the man in the front seat
was dragged to the ground and pis-
tol ball in his arm soon disabled
him.
Then the man in the rear seat, who
had emptied his revolver, sprang to
the ground. His weapon useless,
his companions disabled captives,
nothing was left for him but flight,
and he took 10 the fields.
BY the officers direction no pursuit
was made. Two of the prisoners
were wounded and Mr. Martin had
bullet in his hand. Tue party re-

strongly armed guard was placed
over them. DR.. Huntington of

ed the wounds of the three men who
were injured.
The chase of the fugative thief was
then begun. Three fresh pursurers
were armed with rifles at Mr.. Hub
bard's house and they took the trail.
The escaped man had hidden in the
bushes at the river bank while his
companions were being taken from
the scene of the battle. When he
saw fresh persuers approaching he
forded the river, scaled the bluff on
the opposite shore and ran across the
fields. He was closely followed and
two rifle balls which whistled by his
ears convinced him that further es-
cape was hopeless.
He was commanded to throw up
his hands and did so. He was quick
ly overtaken and his captors march
ed him back to the temporary Jail at
Mr.. Hubbard's house.
When they were searched at Roch-
ester S26l.74 in currency and stamps
were found on the prisoners, together
with gold watch, four REVIEWERS and
burglars tools. The leader of the
party, who first fired at constable

to bay by the rhemen concealed the
most of his booty in a stone wall,
where it was foune later in the even
