NO SPOTLESS TOGA
Worn by Several of Our
Worthy" Senators.
Stealing and Perjury in the
Sugar Deal.
THE SCANDAL FOUL
According to the New York
Herald.
Is the Senate Den OF
ThieveS2 2

NEW YORK, July 19.-The Herald's
Washington dispatch says:
1 was told today that despite the de-
mails of speculation and the sworn state
ments of senators who had been called
before the investigating committee, it
could be proved that in three instances
at least speculation had been engaged
in, and that the three senators referred
to had been guilty of perjury.
An interesting story is going the
rounds today-a story SO startling in its
details that it is almost past belief.
was told of man here in Washington
who has in his possession the original
brOkers's contract wherein one Of the
Senator's prominent one at that-con- :
tracted to buy sugar when IL got down to
SO, just before the phenomenal rise.
It was said that Interested persons
short sugar and who had been
''squeezed7 in the process Of manipulate
ing the market, or because they did not
have the inside tip" had lost an inn
mense amount of money and had deter
mined TO break the sugar schedule at all
hazards.
The most interesting part of the story
is the way in which they intended to set
their schedule aside and I am told that
il is by no other process than by the ar
rest Of a certain senator on a charge of
perjury.
In a criminal case of this kind it is
said stock brokers would he compelled
to show their books in court, and the
persons back Of this scheme say they
can prove, not only by the evidence they
now claim to have, but by what they
could lay bare, that somebody has been
doing some .'tall" lying before the inves-
tigatiOn committee.
It is thought that this particular sena-
tor, rather than submit to such proceed
ings, would undo the work it is said he
has assisted in doing and through the
influence he is said to WELD, sugar
would be placed on the free list aud the
men short" of the stock would recoup p
their capital dropped while they were on
the wrong side of the market

BACKS OUT.
The Republican Central COMMITTEES Re-
pudiates It's Agreement.


pudfates It's Agreement.
The agreement on the part of the Re
publican State Central committee 10 take
ten thousand copies of the Topeka
Breeze, each week, for campaign pur-
poses, as published in last evenings
paper, has evoked so much criticism
that the committee has determined to
repudiate the arrangement made with
McNeal and Higgins.
The latter are of course much cha
grlned- They had ordered a car load of
paper to fill their part of the agreement
They say that Major Hudson has "bluff-
ed the committee out" 1t is to be said
in justice to w. E Sterne and several
other members of the subcommittee
that they never favored the agreement,
but opposed it strongly, believing it
would be better to spend money with
state which are we'll established
Another factor in the matter was the
action of the typographical union which
notified the committee that if they car
ried out that kind of a deal with a nom
union office there wonld be trouble.
Major Hudson gave the committee
very large piece of his mind and while
his efforts were not at frs
successful, public sentiment in the
question came to his aid and the COM
mittee today declared ''off" the arrange
ment entered into with the Breeze. The
dlf. WHICH mas D6Cu Oh the Q0ep0SL DAuO
around headquarters since the agree
ment was published in the JOURNAL last
evening, is now assuming more normal
tint
1t is safe to say that this little expert
ence will teach the committee that the
way to reach the public is through the
established newspapers of the state, and
that the conservative aud practical mem
bers of the committee Will now have a
voice. This element is in opposition to
squandering money on sample copies of
the New York Tribune. Des Moines (Ia.)
Register, Alaska Herald OF on pamph-
lets for the waste basket
If the committee Will give out news,
permit access to the excellent letters and
pointers il is daily receiving from over
the state and not bar the doors TO re-
porters who are anxious for news, great
amount of good Republican doctrine can
be circulated and the committee Will not
have to pay for it either.

now United States district judge, by forty
votes. Kelley served two terms IN the

says
Il have left the Democratic party and

have lied to me long enough. The party

HIS BREAD AND BUTTER.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL., July 1g.-Gov. Allie
geld was asked today IL he cared to cr-
press an opinion to the letter from
Judge Cooley TO President Cleveland
endorsing the ldtter's action in sending
federal troops into Illinois, and ia reply
said:
1T is not necessary to say anything
when you once understand COoley's hia-
tory, and his relations with Cleve-
land. Cooley was at one time a judge
Of the supreme court Of Michigan, and
he established such a reputation for
being a corporation judge that, al-
though he was Republican and Michi-
gan was a strongly Republican state,
when his term expired and he wanted to
be reelected, the people arose in their
might and buried him beyond all hope of
resurrection. Soon thereafter the Inter
state Commerce board was created by
congress. and Cleveland, who was then
president, put Judge Cooley on this
board at a salary Of $1,000 year and eX-
penses, and up 10 a little over a year ago
he got his bread and butter from this
source, and now in the gratitude OF hie
soul he endorses everything that his bene-
factor does and bespatters him with
praise. Nothing less was TO be expected"

port when the house met today. While

demonstration on the Democratic side,
the members cheering wildly at the
sight Of their tariff leader.

applause which lasted half a minute.
Members threw documents IN the air.
and the gallery joined in the demonstra-
ton.
II this be true" he continued, Il

Goes TO the President

WASHINGTON, July 19-The bin pro-
viding an additional circuit judge for
the Eighth circuit has gone TO the presi-
dent Senator Martin, Of Kansas, has
opened a very vigorous campaign for the
appointment, Notwithstanding there haa
been a strong impression that the present
district judge at ST. Louis. Amos M.
Thayer was to be promoted TO the new
place. Senator Martin has enlisted the
support of Senator Gray Of Delaware.
He is also counting on Senator Palmer
OF Illinois, Senator Pugh OF Alabama.
and Senator Turpfe Of Indiana. If Mr.
Martin should be made judge, Governor
Lewelling would have the appointment
of a POpulist senator to serve a few
months.
Senator Martin was slated for a district

Pullman shops TO Open soon.
At the Pullman works today Manager
Middleton was busily engaged in regis
rerinR men willing to work The an
nouncement that the shops will
open as soon as sufficient
force is secured has developed consider
al BILE weakness among the strikers, and
it is claimed in two hours today the man
ayers registered 325 men. A force of
about 1000 will be necessary before the
works will resume.
About 100 Hollanders were intercepted
while on their way to the Pullman shops
today by a crowd of strikers. A free
fight ensued in which no one was seri-
ously hurt, and after retreating the Hol-
landers reached the shops in
small groups and were put to
work clearing up the works. The affair
was the first case of violence that has
occurred in Pullman proper.
Debs' Manifesto Unhseded.
The Debs manifesto resulting in
the Overton edict, warning all
railroad men at the stoci1yards
to desist from work or be "brauded "a

on the men to whom it was addressed or
upon the situation at the stock yards
generally. Railroad employees re-
turned TO their work as usual, switch
ing was continued and the packers
seemed inclined to treat the matter rs a
joke The receipts for the different
packing houses showed that business is
improving. There came in 200 head
of cattle, 2S.0O0 head of hogs and %. 900
sheep.
