SUGAR SCANDALS.
Searles' Talk With Mr..
Jones
WAS ALL ABOUT TARIFFS.
Witness Says the Trust Favors
the Old Schedule.
WAS ALL ABOUT TARIFFS.
BILL PREFERABLE.
Senators Will Now Be Examined in
Reference to Their Reported
SpecuIatiOns.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-The ipvestigat-
ing committee will begin to examine Sena-
tors tomorrow. Every Senator will be
asked whether he bought or sold sugar
stock, furnished information concerning
tariff legislation on sugar or has been in
any way improperly influenced by the
trust.
To-day Charles Custer of DrexeI. Nor
gan q Co. testified that he knew of no
speculation in stock by Senator or of any
effort TO influence legislation by the sugar
trust.
Searles told the committee the circum
stances under which he met Senator Jones
and discussed with him the sugar schedule
of the tariff bill. Searles' position was
that at 2h cents as the price of 50 degree
sugar tax of 1 cent a pound, or 40 per
cent. the present rate, was excessive. For
refined sugar he argued the tax should be
ST. 60 per hundred instead of 81 40.
THAT is true" he quoted the Senator as
replying. ''but our committee will not
give more than ST. 40 per hundred. That
cannot be done. The committee will not
tax refined sugar above ST. 40"
81 said," continued the witness, "'the
only other thing to do is TO begin with so
degrees and tax that sugar at eight-tenths
of a cent. That will bring you 81 40 on
refined sugar.
Senator Jones replied: Yes, but the
Louisiana Senators will not take eight
tenths of cent for S0-degree sugar. They
want a cent. They have put in a peg at
so degrees-a cent per pound. The COM
mittee has put another on refined at 81 40,
and there we are
Very WE'LL said, IF that is the case
you are simply guilty of putting before the
Senate schedule which is indefensive,
according TO your own admissions, and it
does not seem to me right that great in
dustry ike the sugar-refning industry
should be put in any such position as that
And with that our interview ended"
Senator Lodge-Would you prefer the
present schedule to a schedule which car
ried 40 per cent ad valorem ON raw and 45
per cent ad valorem on refned?>
Searles-I would prefer the 10 per cent.
Senator Lindsay-Is it to the interest of
the sugar refners to have this bill take
effect at once in view of this fact or to
postpone it until the Let OF January?
Searles-My own personal view would
be that there would be nothing gained By
postponing it. l have always supposed
that that concession OF the 1st of January
was for the benefit of the producers of
this country.
Senator Allen-You may state briefly
what difference in your judgment there is
between the Mckinley act and the pend
ing act as the Senate proposes to amend
it, or has amended it, to the American
Sugar Refining Company, Which is the
better act for you?
Searles-The Mckinley bill by far.
Senator Allen-Row much?
Searles-I think one-half. That is what
think. The protection in the margin to
the refner in the proposed schedule is not
over one-half of what it was in the Nc.
Kinley bill.

TO MARK THE PLACE
Where Washington Planned the
Yorktown Campaign.
At DObbs Ferry Sons and Daughters
of the Revolution Lay the Base
stone of a Monument.

NEW YORK, June 14-At Dobbs Ferry
to-day the Society of the Sons and Daugh-
ters of the Revolution laid the base stone
to monument to mark the place where
Washington planned the Yorktown cam
pagn. The society and its guests, accom-
panied by the full Marine Band from the
Brooklyn Navy-yard and a detachment
from the Naval Reserve. left New York
on the steamer Starin from the foot of
West FOrty-fourth street at 10 O'clock.
On the arrival at DObbs Ferry the COM
psny was received by the local citizens
committee of ninety. Out in the middle
of the river the Minatonomoh and the
Lancaster, gayly bedecked with hundreds
of bright streameIs, fired a salute as the
guests landed. With the arrival of the
guests occurred the procession of school
children at IrYington. Dobbs Ferry and
Hastings. more than 1000. The ceremonies
proper began at noon.
Vice-President Stevenson was the prin-
ciple speaker.
''I can hope to add little to the interest
of the great occasion by any words / may
utter" Stevenson began. "This day and
this hour belong to history. We stand, in
deed, upon historic ground. Here, on the
banks of the majestic Hudson, we lay the
cornerstone of a monument which will
commemorate great events of the reVolu-
tion."
Briefly outlining the event which is COM
memorated, Stevenson said: What won-
derful results have followed the confer
ence at this spot between Washington and
the French Admiral 113 years ago. This
is. indeed, Mr.. President, the fitting day
for the observance of the Interesting cere-
monies you have inaugurated. The 14th
day of June-the anniversary of the adop-
ton by the Colonial Congress of the stars
and stripes as our national sym bol-is the
appropriate day for laying the corner
stone of a monument which is to COM
memorate events which are so closely
linked with cur struggle for Independence
and which make up so important part of
the warp and woOf of our revolutionary
history.
ut is well that to the descendants of the
heroes of our colonial struggle has been
committed the patriotic task of erecting
this monument. The important service of
this hour is not the least of the patriotic
service which has brought us to the hon.
ored Sons of the American Revolution.
The members of this society, whose blood
is that Of revolutionary heroes, are charged
with the grateful task of garnering up for
history the glorious deeds of ilustrious
men. 1t is theirs to keep brightly burning
the fires upon our patriotic affairs. to incul-
cate the love Of this country. to teach
our American youth that upon this worlds
theater have never appeared grander or
manlier men than Washington and his
com peers. and that the highest title they
can wear is that of American citizens"

Withstand the Demands of
Capital.

WASHINGTON, June 14-When the bill
was taken up in the Senate to-day Lodge
made an argument against free wool.
Teller of Colorado followed Lodge with
remarks in favor of a duty on raw wool.
While discussing the reduction of the
rates on woolens, Hawley interrupted
Teller 10 remark that these reductions
would result inevitably in lowering the
wages of the operatives 80 or 40 per cent.
EITHER a reduction of wages or the manu-
facturers would quit"
They will not quit" replied Teller.
'They have too much capital involved.
They will reduce wages. and the opera

reduction. Men who live by their abor

said Quay.
"The Senator from Oregon" returned
Senator Harris ssrcsstically, "has not
been heard before on this bill, and trust
the Senator from Pennsylvania will afford
the fullest opportunity to proceed with

added with an imperious wave of his

adjourned.

PETER, Kyle and Stewart-held several
conferences on the subject of free wool
The four decided to vote for PETERS amend

vote the same way. two Democratic votes
would be necessary to carry. 1t is not
probable these could be found. Five or
six Democrats would be willing to vote for
duty on wool but for fear such an act
might upset the entire agreement to stand
by the bill of the Finance Committee.

Further Details of the Fierce Fire

COLON. June 14.-Dispatches from Pan
ANA show that the fire in that city yester-
day was much more destructive than was
at first reported. The facilities for fight
ing the flames were limited. The water
supply apparatus was useless, and the ef-
forts of the fire department could only be
used in keeping the fire within the smallest
possible district. The property destroyed
included two blocks of houses.
Many of the buildings destroyed were
occupied as dwelling-houses, and a great

many who have been made homeless by the

that it is still too early to give a positive
statement.

Done, and More to be Done.

The Council Committee on Finance,
six mem bers being present, met at the
Office of City Clerk Thoner, last even
ing, to commence the workof making
the annual appropriations.
The Clerks estimate OF probable re-
ceipts, as published in the REGISTER
yesterday morning, and agEregating
S429,91s.o4, was first taken up, and was
carefully examined by items. and COM
parsons made with the receipts OF pre-
yious years. In the matter OF railroad
taxes, estimated this year at 81, $50. Is,
as against about So, last year, the
Clerk said the difference was caused by
the litigation over the assessment OF
the Wheeling Bridge and Terminal Com
pany, and the Don-arrival of the Audi
tors certificate for tee Wheeling Rail-
way Company. Some Of the Committee
thought the delayed items were bills re-
ceivable, and ought to be included in
the estimated receipts, but the total as
reached by the Clerk, S429, 9ls.04, was
not disturbed.
The Com mittee then took up some Of
the fixed and regular estimates, and set
apart the following:

which to supply the Gas Board and the
fire department, which ask for s156,
434.6S and S3s, 623.70 respectively, and
shows that considerable cuts must yet
be made.
There was q good deal of discussion
over the question Of whether or not
any of the compromise loan bonds
should be taken up. The Clerk said
the Commissioners had informed him it
would be best for the city TO take up
some OF the bonds this year. as all the
bonds will be due and payable in five or
six years. This talk led to the annual
review OF the history OF the compromise
loan, and then the sum OF IS, 600 asked
for for this loan was appropriated.
There was good deal Of discussion
over the item of city CONTINGENT fund,
and it was finally left at $1,000 for the
present.
The fire department estimate was laid
aside until all the members OF the Com
mittee could be present.
When the police estimate was reached,
Mr.. Maxwell suggested the propriety OF
cutting down the force, and said more
money was spent for the department
than was necessary. This led to dis
cussion, but the figures were but
slightly cut, and left at S26,S4
