ARMOR-PLATE FRAUDS
Dunphy Wants the Whole Matter
Gone Into.
When the, Money Due Is Paid to
Carnegie 1t Will Be Too
Late.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-Representative
Dunphy Of New York had a hearing to-
day before the House Rules Committee ON
his resolution to investigate naval plate
frauds. He went into the details of the
frauds. 10. show the committee the desir-
ability Of probing the matter to the bottom.
Mr.. Dunphy said the frauds, for which
the Government had already assessed the
| Carnegie Company S140,0O occurred be-
tween November, 1892. and September 1898
| The same class of evidence, he said.
showed that similar irregularities occurred
prior TO November, 1892, and subsequently
to September, 1893. 1t was further urged
that the investigation now being made by
officers of the Navy Department would be
futile. as there was no power to summon
witnesses or TO administer oaths- to those
who voluntarily appeared. Mr.. Dunphv
had statistics showing that 81, 200. 900
would soon fall due to the Carnegie Com
pany. The payment could not be delayed
and if once M made it would cut off an in
vestigation and destroy all means OF
redress. i'
Speaker Crisp and his associatesIon the
committee questioned Mr.. Dunphy on the
details of the alleged frauds He specified
one instance in which an armor plate on
the Monterey is said to contain a blow
hole IS inches long, The man who saw
the hole when the plate was cast, it was
alleged, droDped his card in the hole, and
is said to be ready to locate the defective
plate aud identify it by his card. The
committee took no action. but Mr.. Dunphy
believes they will report back the resolu-
ton with recommendation that will start
the investigation at once.
PITTsBURG. May 1S.-The investigation
of the armor.plate scandal was concluded
to-day and the Naval Board has returned
to Washington. Ii will probably be q

in the city Of Salvador on the even

sat in the plaza with a number of fellow
Americans and watched the drilling of the
trooes. The news of the uprising was a
surprise to me indeed. In to-day's dis
patches it is stated that the rebels were
defeated at Santa Ana and had fallen back
on San Sennata, and another battle was
expected In a day or two. To man ac-
quainted with the biography of the coun-
try such statement is absurd. San Sen
nata is over one hundred miles away
from Santa Ana and an almost impassa-
bic mountain divides the two places.
There are no roads of any kind, and it
would take several weeks TO scale the
mountains.
president Ezeta is fully able to attend
to the wants of all his rebelliou5 subjects.
He is a man without any personal fear,
and has one of the best armies for its size
in the world. It is composed of about
10000 young men, equipped with modern
guns, and is an exceptionally wel-driIed
body of soldiers. He is well liked by his
people and especially by the foreign
colony. he is a progressive man, and the
only Central American ruler who goe s
about without bodyguard, On pleas
ant evening you can meet him strolling
about the pa:k or the plaza, just like any
citizen of the town"
NEW YORK. May 1S.-The Worlds San

MEYER FOUND GUILTY.
Murder in the Second Degree
the Verdict.
The Poisoner Collapsed When He
Heard What His Fate
Was to, Be.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Dr. Henry c.
Meyer, charged with poisoning Ludwig
Brandt to obtain his life insurance money,
was found guilty of murder in the second
degree to-day. The penalty is imprison-
ment for life.
When DR.. Meyer was brought into court
just before the hour of open ing his face
had become yellow with sickly hue. He
had not seen his wife he said.
''She is in another department Of the
prison, you know" he added ia explana-
'tion.
Shortly afterward DR.. O'Sullivan and
Mr.. Brooke, counsel for DR.. Meyer, ar
rived. Then the jury filed into court and
took their seats in the jury-box. Recorder
Smyth entered almost at the same moment
and Clerk Denny ca led out the names OF
the jurymen. While this was going on
Meyer walked leisurely up to the center oi
the courtroom and took his usual seat in
the midst of his counsek He did not
exhibit any sign OF having heard that the
jury had agreed upon a verdict.
Gentlemen, have you agreed on q YER
dict?" asked Clerk Denny.
'Yes, we have" replied Foreman Wer-
sebe
"How say you? Is the prisoner, Henry
c. +. Meyer, guilty or not guilty?"
Meyer. who in accordance with the rules
of the court was standing facing the jury
men, glanced at their faces as if anxious to
read their thoughts and his fate ahead be-
fore the ominous words could fall from the
foreman's lips. The foreman hesltated a
moment and looked toward the Recorder,
evidently not wishing 10 look at the untor-
tuuate prisoner Then he said
1--WE find him guilty of murder In the
second degree"
The moment these words were uttered a
confused murmur was heard and Never
sat down on his chair absolutely crest
fallen. His hands twitched nervOusly and
his whole appearance showed plainly that
he was disapG ointed at the verdict. Mr..
Brooke made motion for a new trial and
The Recorder gave him two weeks to file
his reasons. This will act as stay of
sentence, and Never will probably receive
bis banishm for life in the beginning of
June. He was taken back to the Tombs

AN IMPoRTANT RULING.
It Affects the Liquor Law of the
State. OF Iowa.

State, OF Iowa.
#DEs MONIES. Iowa, May 18.-The Su-
pTeme CouE; has rendered decision that
makes the sale of liquors by outside par
ties to residents Of Iowa serious venture.
Not only is it held that DaTties:in Iowa
who have paid for liquors. furnished by
outside firms can recover the amount so
paid, but 1t is held that they are not.re-
sponsbie for the return eff the empty cases
and kegs, even though contract mas been
entered into for such transfer.
The decision was rendered in the case Of
tie Gippe Brewing Company, appellant,
vs.. Charles de France. Action was
br ugbt by plaintiff to recover the sum. of
S26$5 alleged to be due for beer sold and
delivered 10 the defendant and for cases
and kegs not returned. The defendant. as
a counter claim, asked judgmena for the
amount of money he had paid defendant
for. beer, and by direction of the court a
verdict OF S1Q06 was given to the de-
feHdant.
The ground Of the. counter claim was
that the agreement between the parties
was IN viGlation.of law, because the agree
ment' was not formed in this State.

CHICAGO TERMINALS.
The Northern Pacific Wanted Com
troll of Them.

trOl OF Them.
NEW YORK. May 1S.-In the Northern
Pacific investigation to-day w. S. Bull, ex-
president of the Stock Exchange and an
ex-directOr OF the Northern Pacific, testi-
fed that he understood the reason for
leasing the Wisconsin Central was due to
desire to secure control of certain Chi
cagO terminals. which could not be done
under the traffic agreement between the
Northern Pacific and the Wisconsin
Central.
The request that lease be secured
came from the operating department. He
had talked with Mr.. Oakes and Mr. Viii
lard on the subject and they were both in
favor Of the lease.
George S. Baxter being recalled testified
that the Northern Pacific loaned S., 200, COO
to the Wisconsin Central, which in turn
loaned it to the Oregon and Trans CONT
mental road to enable the latter to buy up
the Chicago terminals and turn them over
to the Northern Pacific.
''Do you think Sc per cent a. pretty good
commission for this work?" asked Mr..
Petit.
Mr.. Baxter thought the rate fair one.
and said some one had to act as inter
mediary.

SUGAR IN THE HOUSE.
How 1t Came About That There
Was a Filibuster.
Springer Raised a Question of Pro-
priety and That Raised the
Members.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-Soon after the
House met to-day il found itself with a
filiDuster on its hands, caused by motion
to consider appropriation bills running
counter 10 the private bills. The legisla-
tive. executive and judicial appropriation
bill was taken up after an agreement had
been reached to close general debate at the
hour of O'Clock and that the House
would adjourn over Saturday. The discus
sion of the bill opened up several inter-
esting and important questions, among
them being the sugar-Dounty question, the
pension frauds investigation and the re-
duction Of mem bers' pay for absence. The
discussion of the sugar question was
brought about by the omission from the
pending bill of the provision for the sugar
bounty assessors.
Boatner OF Louisiana gave notice that
he would offer an amendment, providing
that the secretary of the Senate and the
sergeant-at-arms should respectively de-
duet from the monthly pay of each men,
Der and delegate the amount OF his pay for
every day he was absent without leave,
except on account of sickness of himself
or family.
Representative Cannon questioned the
propriety aud courtesy of the House de-
claring by its actions TO Senators that
there was not going to be any sugar bounty
in the next fiscal year.
Bingham, taking as his text the appro-
priation of $500. 900 in the last appropria-
ton bill for investigating the alleged pen
sion frauds, made an attack on the pen
sion policy of President Cleveland and
Commissioner Lochren.

voted TO the consideration of private pen
