,NsrloAroRs' REPORT.
rart Two Of the sugar Deal Testimony
what Mills Denies.


WAsHINaToN, June 5.-Senator Gray,
as chairman Of the special committee
TO investigate the alleged operations Of
the sugar trust In connection with
tariff legislation Monday submitted 10
the senate the second batch Of testi-
mony taken before that committee
concerning the examination of all the
democratic membersof the finance com
mittee, including Senators Voorhees,,
tones, Harris, Vest, Mcpherson, Mills
and Secretary Carlisle and Hon. John
! Dewitt Warner Of the house.
Senator Mills denied all knowledge
Of the reported secret interview Of Sec
retary Carlisle on the sugar question,
and said that he and Senator Jonesand
Senator Vest had prepared the sugar
schedule as first reported, and he
knew nothing Of any memorandum
for the schedule from the secretary.
lie also denied all knowledge Of
the alleged Sunday conference Of the
finance committee with those inter-
ested in securing sugar legislation.
He said he had never heard of MEM
bers Of the sugar trust being ia the
capitol while he was acting as mem
Der Of the finance committee and shat
he had never met any Of the members
Of the trust The letter Of introduce
tion was merely formal note contain
ing only two or three lines. He de-
clined 70 see Mr.. IIavemeyer. Senator
Mills also denied any knowledge Of
contributions 70 the democratic cam
| paign committee.
Mr. Mcpherson said that as far as he
knew, there was no truth in any Of the
charges published concerning Secre-
tary Carlisle and the doings of the SUI
gar trust. For himself, he said he dis
agreed with the committee as TO the
sugar schedule. He opposed the sugar
schedule presented by the committee,
and did a little raving over that him-
self, but never saw Mr.. Carlisle do any
Of IL.
At one time Mr.. Mcpherson said he
laid before the committee the views of
his friends, Mr.. Matthieson, member
Of the sugar trust, but did not indorse
them; on the contrary, he opposed them
and voted against the committees
proposition.
The witness said Mr.. Searls, secreta-
ry Of the American Sugar Refining Co.,
came TO his home and argued that a
proposition offered by Mr.. McPherson
would give the sugar refners nothing.
The most interesting part Of Mr. Me-
Pherson's testimony related 10 his own
investments in sugar stock, 300 shares
OF which he purchased in November
1893. Mr.. Mcpherson said that during
the holiday recess of congress he trans
ferred his stocks and bonds 10 his
son. However, on December 81
statement from the brokers
showed that had on hand 800
shares OF Manhattan railroad stock
In New York city, 300 shares Of Jer-
sey Central stock, 800 shares of
sugar stock, and 500 shares Of this
Northwestern common, which trans
ferred to my son. All thatwent over
TO him on our return here on the sth of
February, after the house had sent a
bill over here without any tax on sugar
whatever, and as we supposed there
could be, by no possibility, any tax on
sugar, my son purchased, as he had a
right 20 do, owning these stocks, al
though they were still in my name on
the books, 500 shares Of sugar stock
