Colonel Mcknight Again on the Witnes

Colonel Mcknight Again on the Witness
Stand.
New YORK, May 24.-In the Northern
Pacific inquiry today Colonel Mcknight
was again on the witness stand. The
colonel stated that he did not know just
where the money for the completion of
the Northern Pacific and Manitoba came
from, but was quite sure the accounts
would show just where Willard had Dor
rowed the money. Regarding the COM
missions which were paid for the sale of
the bonds, Colonel McNauRht said he
had vouchers which would show to
whom they were paid. Whether VII
lard had received any commission, and
if 80, how much, he could not say. He
was able to state that at the time about
5000 had been paid in com missions. pos
sibly less. but the probability WAS more.
Witness said that whatever information
he had concerning the syndicate in
question was obtained from Mr.. Willard,
although Mr.. Willard had always told
him he represented other interested
parties, but who they were witness
would not say. Mcknight admitted
that the Northern Pacific and Manitoba
had always been operated by the North.

journed until tomorrow.

by more than five persons. This per-
mission lie not to apply TO Indians In the
employ ment of other persons or who
shall kill or pursue fur seals outside OF
territorial waters under contract to de-
liver Bkins to other persons, nor TO
waters of the Boring sea or passes be-
tween the Aleutian islands,"
The agent later complained that under
his construction of the opinion he mott
fed the Indian sealers that they could
not go out in their schooners, and then
let down their canoes and then go out
to spear seals that he knew that they
had rights to 20 out in their own canoes
from the shore and catch seal. but that
it was impossible, as it would require a
days travel to reach the sealing ground
in canoes.
The agent also stated that the Makhas
would incur great hardship If the per-
mission asked is not given. They have
eight or nine echooners, some OF them
bought this season, while others have
just been repaired at heavy cost. The
sealing, savs the agent, is not done from
these schooners, but they are merely
kept in sight So that the sealers
can 10 to them at night or in case Of
a storm. The agent intimated that the
Makas may not get through the winter
unless they seal now, owing to the use
OF seals for food and clothing. He ques-
tions the benefit the Indians are to de-
rive from the ownership OF the schoon.
ers il they cannot use them in the man
ner indicated.

John Schriver. the Washington corre-
lpondent of the New York Mail and Ex-
sress. was examined in regard to dis.
patch which appeared in his paper on
Nav 10Th. stating an interview between
certain United States senators ana
members of the sugar trust, held in
parlor of the Arlington hotel, had been
overheard by a wire manufacturer who
occupied the adjoining room. Mr..
schriver was asked the name OF his
authority and also the name OF the wire
manufacturer mentioned.
Mr.. Schriver said the story had been
viven him by congressman. but he
declined to give his name or the name
II the wire manufacturer, his reasons
being that the congressman, while he
gave him the story for publication, did
not wish to be brought into the scandal
DR. to be called upon to testify, and had
made witness promise not to reveal his
name.
Mr.. Schriver said the wire manufact-
nrer, on the morning after the confer
bnce. met the congressman and seemed
In a good state of mind. He slapped the
congressman on the shoulder and re-
marked that now he was certain the
Wilson bill would never pass, because
The night before he had occupied room

heard enough OF the conversation to lead
him to believe that the tariff bill was

The wire manufacturer also stated
that several senators were in the room
with the sugar people, and he recognized
them by their voices. He likewise vol
unteered the information that at times
the discussion became 80 heated and
loud that he was unable to sleep, and
was therefore kept awake and obliged to
hear all that was said.
Mr.. Schriver stated to the committee
that he had no personal objections
whatever to giving the names of the
parties.
The committee excused Mr.. Schriver,
after brief effort to arrive at the source
Of his information, informing him he
could take until 10 O'Clock tomorrow,
and in the meantime to consult the con-
gressman who had given his informa-
ton, and also lawyer to advise him in
case he refuses to give further evidence.
After Mr.. Schriver was excused, Mr..
Harry w. Walker, Washington corre-
epondent of the st. Louis Post-Dispatch,
was called and asked to state where he
had obtained the information pub
lished by him in dispatch, in
which he stated that prom
inent member of the cabinet,
had intimated the president him
self had confessed the Democratic party
was under obligations to the sugar
trust.
Mr.. Walker also confirmed Mr..
Schriver's story about the occurrences
at the Arlington hotel between members
of the sugar trust and certain United
States senators, saying he had also
received his information from a member
OF the house. Like Mr.. Schriver, he
declined to give the name of the con-
gresham who had given him the in

Hunters.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The discussion
whether the Makhas Indians of Wash
ington state can legally use schooners
in the Boring sea while sealing, has
been brought to the attention OF the

ARMOR PLATE FRAUDS.
THE CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGA-
TION COMMENCED.
MT. Dunphy Makes q Detailed Statement
of the Discovery of the Irrsgu-
Iarities, Their Extent and
Location.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The congress
sional Investigation into frauds and
Irregularities in armor plates began to-
day with open doors. Representative
Dunphy stated his information came
from documents sent to the departments
from official papers and from the news.
papers.
Mr.. Dunphy's statement detailed the
early discovery of the irregularities and
the investigation made by the navy de-
partment, which led to the tining of the
Carnegie company. He said armcr
plate had bsen tested at the Indian
Head proving grounds and had been
found defective. 1t had then been re-
treated 60 as to overcome the defects.
"Wae this treatment in secret ?" asked
Chairman Cummings.
MIR. Dunpny answered in the affirma-
tive. He said that one plate was picked
out as a sample Of large number of
plates, amounting to $40 tons. When
this secret re-trestment had been made
it served to pass the sample plate, and
that in turn passed the entire $40 tons
of armor.
Mr.. Dunphy then spoke of blow-holes
in the armor of the monitor Monterey.
Experts had gone to the navy yard and
actually located the blow holes, which
had been filed to deceive the govern
ment. Similar blow-holes existed in
the armor of many other ships, bat it
was impossible for the experts to locate
defects, as the ships were abroad at their
stations. The first charges covered 700
defective plates.
In conclusion Mr.. Duuphy said: "My
information ia that defective plates will
be found in the Oregon, the Machias, the
Castine, the Monadnock, the Cincinnati,
the Terror, the New York and the Mon
terey, snd that the exact position OF the
plates on each OF these vessels can be
located by the parties who made the
complaint. and whose names the COM
mittee will be able to obtain from the
evidence on file in the Office of the Sec
rotary OF the navy.
my objects in Offering the original
resolution of inquiry were, first, that
the government might save perhaps
millions of dollars by the discovery Of
those great frauds, and, secondly, that
| if our cruisers and battle-ships had
plastered ON their sides, or elsewhere
armored plates 80 defective as to lessen
their effectiveness or safety, the gov
eminent, on discovery OF it, might take
proper steps to remedy those evils ane
provide for the proper effectiveness and
safety of the vessels"
He added that the defective plates 10
Gated by the government experts ha'
been estimated to be worth 500, 900 t,
$1,000, 600. aud on these the committee
has asked Captain Sampson OF the nava

DISORDERS IN COLORADO.

Ugly Feeling at Cripple Creek-Msny
Armed Deputies.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, May 24.-There
is very ugly feeling among the union
miners over the report that the owners
will attempt to reopen the gold mines
within few days with nom union miners
protected by armed deputy sherffs. The
mood OF the strikers was indicated to-
day when John Thomas and Thomas H.
Jones, two miners from the Victor mine,
arrived in Altman on their way to Grip
pie Creek. They were suspected
of being non-union men, and notwith-
standing their protests that they were
not, they were set upon by the strikers,
knocked down and several shots fired at
them. Thomas and Jones took refuge
in boarding house which was immedi-
ately entered by half dozen union men,
who took them out and gave them a Sc
we're beating.
At last Thomas escaped and made his
way into town. When he arrived here
he was exhausted. He had five bad
scalp wounds and a depression OF the
skull.
Jones is still missing, and 1t is feared
he is lying in some secluded place dead
or seriously injured.
DENVER, May "a About 125 deputies
and t abon ft TT t0nshss t %s ssas bsaeEs
morning to assist the miners in that To-
cality in resuming operations. The
strikers expect to give them battle at
the Victor mine, about six miles from
Cripple Greek, where the turbu lent ele-
ment has thrown up breastworks. About
20 deputy sheriffs mounted, and each
armed with Winchester rifle and a
brace of revolvers, have left Cripple
Creek for the Victor mine, ostensibly to
protect railroad property, but undonbt-
eddy to participate in the fight. The
strikers will be confronted by about 500
deputy sheriffs, al. heavily armed.
S1The Colorado Fuel and Iron company
will attempt to prevent the army OF 800
strikers, who are marching south from
Florence. from interfering with the
miners working at Walaenburg and
other places in the Trinidad district.
The company has secured an injunction
against the invading miners, and the
sheriff will meet them with mounted
deputies at the Huerfano county line
and forbid their entrance into the coun'
ty. 1t is thought that he has sutii
Gent number OF men to prevent thu
miners crossing the line. If they shov
fight the sheriff will call out poss

THE BRITISH BUDGET.

An Important Debate Begun in the
Commons.
LONDON, May 24.-rhe debate in the
commons on the budget bill, which was
expected in some quarters to prove the
downfall of Lord Rosebery's ministry,
was opened this afternoon with a gun
fired by Sir John Lubbock, Liberal
Unionist, who moved that the budget
committee be empowered to divide the
budget bill into two parts and to embody
the provisions regarding the sinking
fund in a different measure.
Sir William Harcourt said the object
OF the motion was to revert to system
by which the house OF lords would be
able to overthrow the financial measures
emanating from the house of commons.
This system had already been con-
demned by Disraeli and Pelmerston and
by the committee OF the house OF COM
mons. Loud cheers.
Another reason for Sir Lubeck's mo-
ton was to waste the time of the house
by involving it in two bills and two sep
arate statements from the committee,
and in two third readings. At the pres
ent time, also, there were special reasens
why the commons should preserve abso
lutte control OF the finances of the
country.
Mr.. Goschen and several minor Con-
servatives supported the motion. after
which division was taken, with the
result that it was objected TO by vote
OF 16l to 121. The announcement of the
governments victory was greeted with
prolonged Liberal cheers.
Later two other Conservative instruc-
tons to the budget committee we're ruleC
out OF order, and the house went int,

Liberal cheering.
