SENATE SERENE.
There were not many signs of yester-
days storm about the senate wing of the
capitol to-day. The senator's who put in
an appearance at all went about their
business as though nothing unusual had
occurred and all professed as much ig-
norance as to the probable outcome of
the ENHANCEMENT as the veriest outsider.
There is still great uncertainty in the
minds of senators, not only as to the
ultimate outcome, but as to the probable
proceedings in the immediate future. !
SUGAR TRUST INVESTIGATION.
The senate sugar investigation CON-
mittee resumed its work to-day in the old
time manner. Only Senators Gray, Lind.
say and Davis, of the committee were
present, but they had several witnesses
before them and announced their deter
mination to proceed with the work SO
long as there was possibility of secur-
ing witnesses who would furnish testi-
mony. The most important witness of
the day was Harry Rood, the New York
Herald reporter who wrote the articles in
that paper upon which the present branch
of the inquiry is based.
MAILS MOVING ON TIME.
A rapid improvement in the condition
of the western mail service is reported at
the postof1ice department dispatches in to-
day. The mails from New York and this
city reached San Francisco yesterday
only one hour late.
POsTMAsTERs APPOINTED;
J. NJ. Baca was to-day appointed post
master at Quemado, Socorro county, New
Mexico vice Manfer Romero resigned.
s. H. Wright was also appointed post
master at Opal, Minta county, Wyo.
SLIM ATrENDANoE OF MEMBERS.
There was very slim attendance of
members when the speaker called the
house to order to-day. Mr.. Bowers, of
California, demanded The regular order,
which was resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution provld-
ing that senators be elected by direct
vote of the people. Although a two
thirds vote was required for measure
amending the constitution, the pending
resolution was passed by 1877 to 49,
thirteen votes to spare. The announce
ment of the result was received with
Democratic applause.
HOUSE REFUSED TO AGREE.
The house disagreed to the senate
amendments on the Indian appropria-
tiOn bill and Messrs. Holman, Allen and
Wilson, of Washington, were appointed
as conferees.
ALLEN ALLEGES.
Senator Allen, who was the leader of the
sugar investigation committee, made an
additional report to the senate to-day
supplementary to that of the committee.
He says that: "In view Of the report of Sen
ators Gray and Linsay, which did not set
forth the facts of this case as fully as
think they should be stated deem it
perfectly proper to file separate report.
The testimony of Henry and Theodore
Havemeyer and John E. Searles leaves no
doubt of the fact that the sugar trust IN
the state of New York in 1892 contributed
money to the Democratic party for cam
paign purposes and that at the same time
and for the same purpose contributed
money to the Republican party in the
state of Massachusetts,. 1t is true that
these witnesses testified that their con-
tributions we're made for local and state
purposes, but there is no doubt in my
mind that the money went into the gem
eral campaign funds of those states and
were that much for national as we'll as for
