The Sugar Investigation,

WAsHINGToN, June l2.-The question of holding the sugar investigation with open doors camo up at the meeting of the committee, and an effort was made to al low the public access to the proccedings The matter was discussed at some length, but when put to vote the committee de- Cided to proceed in executive session.
 The consideration of the cases of Ed wards and Shriver, who declined to dis close confidential matters to Senator Gray s Sugar trust investigating committee, has not been resumed by the grand jury, other cases occupying its attention. E. R. Chapman, the New York broker and mem Der of the firm of Moore X Schley, who was before Senator Gray's Sugar trust in TestiSating committee Saturday, was again at the capitol, but he did not go before the committee He said in an interview that he should not volunteer still another appearance, as he could not sec his way clear to answer the questions put by the committee. MT. Chapman was ex- cused on Saturday that he might have op- portunity to think over the request of members of the committee to state whcth- CT they (the committeemen) had been spec- ulating in sugar stocks through his firm.
 II can, of course, sec tho purpose of the committee, ' said MT. Chapman, which is in case l break my rule, for them to have every member of tho senate make a like hequest I do not think tho senate has any right to make dragnet inquiry like this, and should resist it.
 The committee has decided to report MT. Chapman s refusal to answer its ques- tions to the senate and will not probably ask him to appear again. The proceed ings will be similar to those in tho cases of Edwards and Shriver. The committee will report the facts, accompanying the report and full transcript of Mir. Chap mans testimony with n resolution direct ing the vice president to certify the facts to the district attorney. who is expected to proceed against Mir. Chapman by talk ing the matter before the grand jury
 Senator Gallery went before the com mittee at his own request to amplify the statement heretofore made by him con corning his meeting with Mir. Havemeyer at Senator Brice's house. He was report ed in his former testimony to have said that he had been requested to sec Have meyer, who happened to be in Senator Brice's house." but he had not stated the manner in which Mir. Havemeycr happen ed to be there, which he wished to do.
 Prior to seeing Mir. Hayemcyer " Mir. Caffery said, "there was discussion be- tween those present and OK Senator White and myself as to the comparative merit of tho ad valorem and specific rates of duty on sugar. There was a great deal of difference of opinion on this point, and Senator Brice stated that there was n gen- tleman in the city at the Arlington ho- tel who knew moro about the operation of any given rate of duty on sugar than perhaps any other man in the United States, and that if 1t were agreeable he would send for him.
 That man was Mir. Hayemeyer. who was then, according to Mir Brice's state- ment. at tho Arlington hotel. Senator Brice asked me If I had any objection to

Miners Have Gas Pipe Cannon.

PUNXsUTAwNEY, Pn., June l2.-Every- thing is quiet horc. The guards arc at their posts around the No. 1 and No. d mines, these being nearest to this place. Just below Clayvillc there were about 100 miners that came in on Saturday and went to work. There is no demonstration and few people about the works. The guards will not allow any one to go in among their men, nor will they allow crowds to oongregate on the public road near the company's works. There are no cannon among the guards as reported. The strikers have some cannon made out of gas pipe, and those will no doubt bo used if fight is brought on. The cooler headed miners and the citizens of the sur rounding towns arc doing all they can to prevent an outbreak. There arc reports of companies of miners marching this way from other mining localities but the re- ports cannot be verified.

THE SITE,

THE SITE.
 There is not room enough on the pr, S. ent high school grounds to erect a build ing that would meet the demands of the modern advanced education. If such a building couly be erected, it would not be wise to do it, because, including the par ochial school nearby would mass almost together about 8 900 children.
 Again. it would overcrowd the ground and not leave space enough for out door recesses of pupils of lower grades. The members of the committee have eN- amined seven or eight different sites and have found their choice limited to one of three; namely: the rear of the cemetery lot, the lot on Spencer avenue, and the KnSSbury lot, so called, on North Main street The cemetery lot is of ample size. The committee visited the lot, but found it not at all desirable for school building, even if it could be obtained as a free gift from the city. It is in close proximity to the railroad tracks.
 The smoke from locomotives and from some neighboring factory chimneys, and the noise of many passing trains, fill the air with their impurities and confusion. The Spencer lot is conveniently located and of fairly good size, but is upon mar row street and is somewhat shut in by neighboring houses. For this reason it does not meet the highest requirements of light and ventilation.
 The Kingsbury lot was the unanimous choice of the com mittee, and thelr recom- mendation in favor of this lot was unani- mously adopted at the joint meeting of the board of education and the district com mittee. This lot is about the same dis tance from the City hall as the present high school building. It is upon a wide street made still wider by the junction of North Main and Cooke streets. This, with ! the high ground, secures unusual advan- tages of light and ventilation. It has a front on North Main street, and one on Park avenue. It contains about 46,OOO square feet and the street car track runs in front of the lot.
 The space occupied by tEe high school pupils in the present building, could be divided into five school rooms for pupils of lower grades. This, of itself, would be equivalent to adding to the district six teen thousand dollar school building, with no expense except the small cost of rum ming few partitions.
 The erection of these different buildings would furnish employment for many now out of work.
 In order to provide the means to meet the urgent demands of the district for more school buildings, and to pay the floating indebtedness, it is proposed not to levy a tax, but to obtain permission from the legislature to issue bonds to some amount, not exceeding 200,000.O0. These bonds would be for term of years, would bear a low rate of interest, and would be paid from the accumulations of an annual sink ing fund. Under this plan, those who re- ceive the benefits from year to year gradu- ally pay for them.

Mir. Murphy's Slice of Pie

Mir. Chandler followed with n very iron iCal speech. He did not blame Mir. Mur- phy, the author uf this paragraph, he said, for getting his share of protection. The conservatives on the Democratic side had organized for conciliatory purposes. AS they had been conciliatcd-onc by a duty on coal, another iron. others on sug- ar-they began to disappear, and he rath- CT commended Mir Murphy in the general wreck of conservatism for reaching out for his slice of the conciliatory pie
 Mir. Murphy was not present during the discussion of the collars and cuffs para graph. It was agreed to without divi- sion.
 Today tho wooden schedule will be taken up. Mir. Quay gave notice just before ad- journmcnt that he would, when this sched- ulc was rcachcd resume tho speech he was delivering four weeks ago.
 There was an air of languid listlessness apparent in tho house. and it was evident that the members were not in n working humor. Tho day was claimed by Mir. Heard, chairman of the committee on the District of Columbia. but while several bills were considered no action was reach cd on any of them on account of lack of A quorum

The San salvador Refugees.


 LA LIBERTAp, Juno 12.-The newly or ganized government is making desperate efforts to secure the surrender of the ref ugecs aboard tho United States steamship Bennington, after making formal remon- stranco against tho extension of asylum to tho late vice president and his staff. President Guttierraz has made demand upon Mir. Pollock, the American consul here, for tho surrendcr of the men. For the time being he valves entirely the ques- tion of right of asylum, and charging that these officials of the late government have been guilty of robbery and embezzlemcnt demands their surrender under article ? of the eNtradtion treaty negotiated with the United SattcS in 1870. Consul Pol lock consulted over this new phase of the case with Commander Thomas of the Ben nington and then informed tho govern ment that he could not mcot the demand until instructed to do so by the Washing ton officials. Meanwhile the refugees are being detained ou the Bennington and will not he permitted to take passage on the coasting steamers to n port of safety.

The Eject Uncertain,

While it has been announced that the agreement reached by tho operators and miners in their joint conference in this city is final, it's effect upon the miners re- mains to ho seen. Tho fact that fully n week will intervene before the agreement takes effect leads to the belief that the de termination of the miners to accept no compromise can bo molificd
 A majority of the operators loft for their homes immediately after tho ad- journment of the conference, and those who could be seen were confident that tho agreement would bring about n speedy settlement of the strike. Robert Bailey of Pittsburg said it was doubtful how tho 53 bolting operators in his district would take to the agreement, but he was inclined to the belief that a majority of thon would fall intn linc
