AUGUST 18TH.
Senate Still Disc ussing the Wool
Scheduie-President of the SUI
gar Trusts Testimony.

Special Correspondence of the Sentinel
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Senate
is still discussing the wool schedule.
A number of speeches will be made by
Republicans in opposition to free wool
and there is no prospect of vote be-
ing taken until next week. If fill
clustering renders it necessary, Sena-
tor Harris will insist on night ses-
sions.
The House has completed the con-
sideration of all the appropriation
bills except the general deficiency bill
but the Senate has not as yet taken
any of them up. 1t will be necessary
to extend the present appropriations
by d special resolution in order that
the wheels of government may be
kept moving after June 30. 1t is
thought possible that Congress may
adjourn about August Is.
Some interesting testimony has been
given before the Senate Investigating
committee by Henry o. Havemeyer,
the president of the sugar trust. He
admitted that the trust had contrib
uted literally to the local campaign
funds OF both parties with the aVOwed
purpose of controlling legislation, and
that e-himself had made many visits
to Washington and held consultations
with Senators with the same purpose
in view. 1t may reasonably be infer
red that these contributions were not
given without distinct understand
ing as to the expected reward, although
Mr.. Havemeyer denies that any deli
mite bargains were made.
The following extract from a letter

President Cleveland, officially and
largest possible use of silver as money
consistent with the preservation of
the parity Of the two metals and the
maintainance Of good faith Oh the
part of the government. He is neith-
er gold nor silver monometallist." {"

NOTED. Altogether there are 81

bly, soon take another short trip for
