TIE SUGAR tn UsT SCANDAL.


A New Feature In the Investigations
The Speculation That Caused the
Ransom Rumor.
WASHINGTON, June ia new feature
was injected into the sugar investigation
to day through George W. Silsby, of
Silsby & Co., bankers and brokers. 1t
was in Mr.. Silsby's Office that George
Ransom, son of Senator Ransom, and
Captain Ba=nes. Senator Rsnsom's
messenger, made the small sps culation that
caused the Ransom rumor. The newspaper
correspondent, who thought he had got
hold of big sensation, told Senator Ran
som that he had Photographic copies of a
stock sheet in his possession, containing
the name of "Ransom."
The first witness to-day was Mr.. Silsby,
and he fully confirmed the testimony of
Senator Ransom that the senator had not
speculated through the firm and stated
that George Ransom had made small spec
ulations. Mr.. Silsby was asked II any
senators had epeculated in sugar stock
through his Office, but he said he was un-
willing to answer on that point until he
had consulted his attorney, Major Butter
worth. Mr.. Silsby told the committee
that another matter involved in the case
deferred him from answering at
this time. he said he meant Grim
| inal prosecution. Mr.. Silsby explained
| that the stock sheet of which the New Yorl
Press had photographs had been stolen
from one of his branch Offices, together
with orders for stock signed by some of hi,
| customers. Many questions were asked
| by the Investigators about the alleged
| theft of the sheet and orders and Mr.. Sils
by explained what the sheet was like. 1
contained, he said, the names of buyers
and such purchase was backed by an or
der signed by the purchaser directing tn
firm as to what it should buy.
J. W. Mccartney of Corson & Macart
ney, Washington correspondents of Moor
& Schley, stock brokers of New York, fol
lowed Mr.. Silsby. and by advice, refused t.
give any information In answer to inquire
whether any senators had bought stocl
through Moore d Schley and also refuses
to produce his stock books and sheets
He aaid that Moore & Schley we're not i
possession of the 400 amendments to th
bill before they were reported.

CHANGES In TIRE BILL,

The Sugar Schedule Will BE Re.
vised, the Income Tax Feature
Amended and There Will he q
Change In the Wool Section.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-It Is stated
that it has been practically decided by
those In control of the tariff bill in the
senate that there Is to be a further re.
vision of the sugar schedule. It Is under
stood that the sugar schedule as it will
finally be adopted will place a duty of 40
per cent. ad vslorsm On raw sugars and /
of cent on refined and end there.
The discriminating duty of 10 of a
cent against all countries paying an ex-
port bocnty on refined sugars will be
eliminated from the bill, as 1t is claimed
that the 40 per cent. gives ample protec-
ton to the refners to say nothing of the
differential that ia allowed them. The
ed go as to make it go into effect when the
other parts of the bill go into effsct-im-
mediatsly upon Its passage.
The committee has decided to amend the
income tax feature of the bill in accord
ance with the request Of the thousands of
petitions that have come to the senate, and
will omit from the operations of the in
come tax the funds of all fraternal and
beneficial organizations and societies con-
Quoted on the lodge plan.
By an tnadvertence the paragraph relst-
ing to wool tops and rovings was permit
ted to go through the other day at Is per.
cent when it was intended to make this duty
rs per cent. This mistake will be rectified.
Another change will also be made in the
wool schedule. AS agreed to, the rate on
the finished product In mems clothing is
fixed at As per cent, while the duty on
cloth entering into the manufacture of the
same grade of goods is fixed at 30 per cent.
This is discrimination against the manu-
facture in this country and will be reme-
died by increasing the duty on the finished
product to 80 per cent.
The committee also formally decided to
permit the administr alive act of June 10,
1890, to stand and this will cut from the
bill forty nine pages and remove matter
that would have caused much contention
in the course of the debate.
