WAsHINGTON June 1J-Some interest
ing testimony has been given before the
Senate investigating committee by Henry
0. Havemeyer, the president of the sugar

contributed literally to the local cam
avowed purpose of controlling legisla-
! ton, and that he himself had made many
visits TO Washington and held Cousulta-
tions with senators with the same pur
/ ferred that these contributions were not
, given without distinct understanding
as to the expected reward, although Mr..
Hayemeyer denies that any definite bar
gains were made.

GRAFTON of all appropriation bills except

The following extract from letter
written by Secretary Carlisle to State
| Texas, is interesting as indicating the
ground taken by President Cleveland on
the silver question 81 am satisfied from
all my intercourse with President Cleve-
land officially and otherwise, that he is
in favor of the largest possible use Of
silver as money, consistent with the pre-
scrVatiOn Of the parity of the two metals
and the maintainance of good faith on
the part Of the government He is nei-
ther gold nor a silver mOnometalist."
Secretary Carlisle has. in response to
a resolution offered by Senator Gallinger
sent to the Senate report of the changes

fourteen Eaye been promoted. Thirty.
two Nirginians have been removed, five
have resigned and thirty have been pro
noted. Although there are 6l North
CarOlinians in the department and 1919
Eirginians. To show how unequal the
distribution Of places is, it is sufficient to
state that the number of employees cred
tied to the District Of Columbia is ,206
The legislative appropriation bill pro
vides for large number CT reductions in
the department but as the bill will prob
ably not go into effect before August, the
removals will not be made until that
