DOWN TO 4 FINE POINT,
The Scent in tho Sugar Scandal is Getting

Aho SSChs HI sAo sugar 6C&suubl lb S6tunR Hot.
 Washington. July 25-The sugar in- vestigation committee had two wit nesses before 1t this morning. One was MT. Seymour of the firm of Seymour, Young & Co.,, the New York bankers. This witness, in common with all other brokers, declined to answer any ques- tions. MT. Allison, newspaper man on the "'Paint and oil Reporter" testi- fled that he had seen what purported to be the original order for the pur- chase Of. the sugar stock said to be signed by Senator Camden. ''- When MT. Seymour refused to answer questions in regard to the alleged spec- ulation of senators, MT. Gray, chairman of the committee. asked: Did I ever speculate in sugar through your officer" T don't know who you are; don't even know your name." was the reply.
 When MT. Gray enlightened the wit ness as to his identity MT. Seymour answered in the negative. but stopped there and refused to go any further.
 George Bruce of New York, reporter of the New York Herald, was the only other witness examined.
 Members of the committee and per- sons familiar with It's doings still main- tain consistent silence with regard to the present line of testimony. They maintain that the publication of the evidence at this time would be mani- fest injustice to senators whose names have been mentioned in connection with speculation in sugar stock.
 But there is no concealment of the fact that the committee is working on sensational ground. AS one of them said to-day: We are getting things down to a fine point. The scent Is get ting hot"

 REPUBLICANS OF IOWA.
 Des Moines, July 25.-The republican state convention being held here to-day Is remarkable for It's enthusiasm. It was l1:l0 when the state convention was called to order by State Chairman Blythe in Calvary tabernacle. The large auditorium held l,500 visitors In addition to the 1, 100 delegates. Many ladies were in the galleries.
 Chairman Blythe introduced Hon. John N. Baldwin as temporary chair man of the convention. MT. Baldwin was well received and his address was given close attention and frequent ap- plause.
 The usual committees were reported at the close of the address and the con- convention reconvened at p. m. J. B. Parsh was chosen permanent chairman and addressed the convention.
 A platform was adopted which says: "The history of the past year has again demonstrated the unfitness and incom- potency of the democratic party to ad- minister the affairs of the nation and has again vindicated the eternal truth of republican principles.
 From the universal disaster that has accompanied democratic supremacy we turn with confident hope to the sacred duty of restoring peace to distracted and disordered country. We again de- clare for a system of protective duties so adjusted that every American re- source can be developed by American labor, at American wages. We re-affirm our belief that the interests of the coun- try, its farmers and workingmen. de- mand that every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the government shall be as good as any other dollar.
 we favor the largest possible use of silver as money that is consistent with the permanent maintenance of equal values of all dollars in circulation. We favor the enforcement of immiga- tion laws so as to exclude criminal, pauper and all other undesirable class es. whose presence tend to degrade American labor and incite disorder.
 "The republican party re-aff1rms it's position in favor of liberality to the na- tion's defenders"

GREATSENSA ATION CA USED.
Sir William Whiteway and Robert Bond
 Unseated for Bribery.

UnSeated for Bribery.
 St. Johns. N. E., July 26.-The Trinity election case, the most import ant in the series entered against the Whiteway government inasmuch as Sir William Whiteway, late premier, and Robert Bond, his colonial secretary and chief lieutenant, were accused of seour- ing election by corrupt practices, was completed to-day.
 Both were found guilty and sentenced to be unseated from the assembly and disqualified from oontesting any eleo- tion during the continuance of the pres- ent legislature of four years. James Watson, the junior member of the Trinity district and colleague of Sir William Whiteway and Robert Bond, was also unseated, but was not dis qualified, because it was shown that he was ignorant of the practices of his col- leagues.
 The judgment was ibased on the grounds that Sir William Whiteway and Robert Bond authorized the expendi- ture of large amounts of money for pub lie works, roads, bridges, etc.. during the fortnight preceding the election without having any legal authority to take such course: that they allocated sundry small sums ranging from $1O to $50 to private parties to build or re- pair private roads to fishing places, gardens, etc.. and that such expendi- lures altogether occasioned the employ ment of hundreds of men immediately before the election. u.
 The judge decided that this consti- tuted bribery and rendered a fair elec- tion impossible. The whole expenditure was $42,000. The verdict has caused great sensation.

'' He plunged immediately Into the dis cussion of the complicated methods of refining sugar in Louisiana. which su- gar went Into competition with the re- fined sugar of the trust. He contended that the bounty provision of the Me- Kinley law prevented the extensive re- fining of sugar by the producer. He made an elaborate argument to prove that, In virtue of the implied contract made with the sugar producers in the bounty provision of the existing law. the Louisiana sugar people asked no more than was their; due when they asked for tariff ample to continue the existence of their industry. He maintained that fair ad valorem rate of 45 per cent. will furnish sufficient protection both to the producer and the refiner.

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1894-12-14
THE Little Speculator."

The author of "The Little Specula-
tor" made an extended western trip
for the express purpose of visiting the
new towns which spring up in a night
in some of our western states, and
which often vanish as suddenly when
the bubble bursts and the spectators
who called the town into being, part
with the booty realized from selling
town lots at metropolitan prices. "Cul-
pepper City" in the play may be deem
ed an exaggeration but the author has
actually visited more than one "city"
of this description and many of the
funniest incidents in this play are
taken from real life. In producing
"The Little Speculator" great care has
been taken to secure a company suit
ed to the respective parts and TO
mount the scenes with care and exact.
ness tn every detail.
