Mir. SearIes Testities.


 John \. SearlcS secretary and treasurer of the American Sugar Refining company, was the subject of the committees Qucs- tionS for threo hours. The examination was on the same general line as that of Mr. Havemeyer, and he covered much of the same ground which was gone over be- fore.
 Mr Searles confessed freely that he had been in Washington a great deal the past winter and spring for the sole purpose of influencing congressional legislation upon the sugar schedule. He said he had been in the habit of attending the sessions since the forty-hfth congress, and when the tariff had been before congress he had en- deavored by presenting the facts to secure just legislation in the intcrcst of the sugar industry that would give it tho same pro portion of protection guaranteed to other industries.
 SenatorAllen asked many questions con corning the campaign contributions of tho trust, but did not succeed in eliciting as much information as he obtained from Mr. Havemeyor but the cross firing was at times very spirited. MT. Allen was per siStent, and Mr. Searles stood upon his private rights and declined in many in stances to answer. At other times he re- sponded with spirit to the challenge which
 
 Populist senator's questions He said the company had in the past contributed mon- ey for campaign purposes to tho different political parties and had done so in 1899, but he could not name the states in which contributions had been made.
 He said he should decline to answer questions in this line unless they came within the scope of the committees in- quiry, and when the resolution under which the committee is acting was read to him he said there had been no contri- buttons made by the company to secure or defeat the pending legislation. He said, with Mir. Havemcyer, that local contribu- tons had been made, but with no appli- cation of purpose of influencing legisla- ton. He thought such contributions had been made in New York, but could not answer as to other states. Such contribu- lions were. he said, generally made by tho president of the company and were charg. cd up to tho expense account but no eS- planation except verbal one was ever made to tho board of directors. It did not appear on the books. He declined to state tho amount expended in 1892 on the ground that it was not within the prov ince of tho inquiry.
 Senator Aliens Questions.
 Do you not" asked Senator Allen, "decline to state simply because you know ;t was disreputable and unlawful to con tribute this moneys"
 ''No. sir; do not, :" replied MT. Searles, admit anything of tho kind"
 Senator Allen-Do you think it Is per feotly laudable for tho American Sugal Refining company to contribute large sums of money, by tho thousands of dol lars, fer the purpose of influencing cleo tions in this countrys

I'm the Senate.


 WASHINGTON, Juno 14.-The entire ses sion of the senate was again consumeo with set speeches on tho free wool ques tion. The temperature in tho chamber was stitlingly hot, and the senators spoke to empty benches on the floor and a few listleSs auditors in the galleries. Alto, gether it was one of the dullest and most wearisome days of tho long three months debate. Not a vote was taken. Those who made set speeches wcro McsSrs. Sher man of Ohio, Dubois of Idaho, Hans, hrough of North Dakota, Shoup of Idaho, Mitchell of Oregon and Quay of Pennsyl vania
 Contemplated Changes In the Tariff Bill. When the senate adjourned, an attempt was made to secure an agreement to the five minute rule on tho wooden schedule, but this was refused because several sen, atOrS desired to make moro extended speeches.
 Senator Harris did not press the subject of a night session because the Democrats still hoped that an agreement might be had to put through the wooden schedule just as the cotton schedule was adopted. Tho Republican senators have asked that certain increases be made all along the line of wooden schedules. The requests havo been rejected in part but certain CONCESSIONS nave been OIiCrDd, Winch may be accepted, and the indications are very strong that they will be made on some of the paragraphs at least
 Lively In the House.
 Tho small crowd in the galleries of the house was we'll repaid for its attendance for at times the proceedings were interest ing in the extreme. While but 10 pages of tho bill were read, somo very interesting discussions were precipitatcd, notably one by Mir. Smith of Arizona relative to the education of Indians, and especially the Apachcs at the Indian schools of the east In tho course of his speech he said that it was possible to kidnap Indian boys and girls and send them to school at Carlisle and Hampton, but they would wander back to the reservation and become worse than they were before.
 The A. r. \. matter was again brought up and caused d slight ripple on the sur face of the house, but it blew over after q short pas sage at arms between Mir. Lin ton and Mir. Wcadock, both of Michi gan. An unusually large number of bills suc- cccded in running the gantlct of ohjcc- tions and rcaching the goal of final pas sage, among them being three senate bills.

There is evidently considerable dissat-
isfacti0n among northern Democrats with
the statesmen Of the South. When
Gen. Sickles in the House of Representa-
tives on Thursday last, demanded that
the Sergeant alarms report to the House
whether be was under arrest, Mr.. Terry,
of Arkansas, called him TO order, where
upon Amos Cummings, one OF Sickles'
Tammany colleagues, reterted with The
bitter remark: 'You could not call him
to order at Gettysburg. "
On the evening Of the same date
Abram S. Hewitt, at banquet held in
New York, by the 'Southern Society," 10
his speech made some very Objectionable
ntterances when he said that "The south
erners Of the present may be divided into
three classes the mon of brains: who
have come north; those who have stayed
at home and devoted themselves to indus
trial pursuits because they were too poor

ing fit for nothing else, have turned their
attention to politics. know your south
etners at Washington. | know them to
be honest, truthful, gallant, but l also
know them to be ignorant. 1t is the only
word that fits--bank Grass ignorance. !"
This has caused same angry southerners.
Mr.. Bankhead denounced the utterances.
AS for himself, he said he could sec no
solution OF the problem except to tell Mr..
Hewitt and his kind to go TO h. Mr..
Euloe says it is deliberate purpose to
insult and traduce the southern people.
Mr.. Caruth said that Hewitt was in his
dotage. Mr.. Dockery said the speech
was unworthy and far from the truth.

tered fslsehood when he said the men

Judge Chute of AlbaLy, who issued the
illegal injunction against the Secretary Of

before the Judiciary Committee for an cx-
PLANTATION of bis offence, said in extenua-
