WASHINGTON LETTER.

AsHlNGION, May 0UtH, 1cSf.-
Does the sticky trial of the sugar
scandal lead the White House? States
ments made by Democrats, mind you,
not Republicans, first indicated that
it did, and the action of the
investigating committee, in pretend
ing to be greatly exercised because
three newspaper correspondents, ,one of
them Democrat, and Senator Muir
phey's private Secretary, have declined
to give the names of those who gave
them information, has not weakened
the indications. The committee may be
perfectly honest in its attempt to make
the correspondents tell the names of
their informants, but experience should
warn them Of the time they are vast
ing. There is probably not a news
paper correspondent in Washington
who would not 60 to Jail and stay
there rather than to tell the name of
any man who had given him informa-
tion in confidence, and nobody knows
this any better than the Senators on
this com nittee; hence the b,lief that
they are merely using the correspon-
dents in making play for time, in
stead Of asking the men who have been
directly connected with the scandal for
the information that will establish
tue truth or ia lsity of the charge that
the sugar trust dictated the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill. The pres
ent actions Of the committee confirm
the impression of those who predicted
from the first that the whole investi-
CATION would be as great fzzle as
that part of it which dealt with the
alleged attempt to bribe Senators.
Several votes in the Senate having
demonstr ted that the last bargain
took in all Of the Democrats, except
Hill, as we'll as the Populists, and that
the tariff bill as bargained for is going
to get their Votes, it is probable al.
though not yet certain, that the Repub-
licans will in a few days agree to the
setting of day for the final vote on the
bill. The sugar schedule will be reached
this week and an effort will be mrde to
upset it, but for the reasons set forth
above it will hardly succeed.

the debate which preceded the Demo-
cratic attempt to dropthe appropriation
for the Civil Service Commission, Rep
resentatives Pendleton, of w. Va,

rejecting upon the integrity Of the

in Congress, including friends as well

CUSPID0RS A LA SOAP BOX.
Primitive ana Ugly Utensils at the
New Criminal Court Building.

The things which most obtrusively and
agGressively catch the eye of a stranger
entering the grand inner court of the
brand new Criminal Court House are
two wooden boxes at the foot of two
handsome bronze bas-reliefs of gentle
men In living-picture neglige costumes
and wings on their feet. The boxes orig
inally contained soap, as Is shown by the
bold, black lettering upon their sides
calling attention to particular brand.
Now, the boxes are filled with sawdust
and they are placed upon the first land
ings of the magnificent white marble and
bronze stairways. They are for the use
of eXpectorating visitors to the Court
House. Throughout the building here
and there are other soap boxes used for
the same purpose.
1t was suggested yesterday by a very
bright young woman, whose aesthetic
sense was outraged by the presence of
the ugly boxes so close to the beautiful
ornamentation of the grand stairways,
that IT would be a wonderfully good idea
to put in their places ornamental bronze
boxes, with running water arrangements
to flush them and keep them constantly
clean. With the plumbing facilities at
the new Court-Houss this would be very
easy to do. and 1t would undoubtedly be
q vast improvement upon the soap boxes,
as well as of hygienic value to all in the
building.

CALLITHUMPIANS SURPRISED.
Officers Awaited Them Mt the Barr
Martin Wedding.


METUCHEN. Sept. 13.-This town and
vicinity has been the scene recently of
several Calithumpian outrages. We'd
dings have been frequent of late, and
the mobs that have assembled to sere-
made the wedding parties have shown
such a riotous disposition that officers
have had to be detailed to guard houses
where weddings were 10 occur.
Last night James Barr and Miss Caro-.
line Martin were married. Shortly after
the ceremony Il large mob assembled to
serenade the couple. They were headed
by Calithumpian band, whose instru-
ments were tin cans, tish-horns, &c.
After marching around the village and
waking up the aristocratic residents
with their yells, the gang started for
the residence of the brides parents.
Preparations had been made for them,
however, and when they reached the
gate they were met by Detective Keenan,
and Constable Soper, who had been de-
tailed to guard the house.
The two officers charged the crowd
and used their clubs vigorously. The
mob could not stand the onslaught of
the officers. and fed, yelling, in every
direction. Several captures were made.
The prisoners We're released after their
names had been ascertained, and will
be arrested later on warrants.

Arthur Vincent, II New York boy, who
has circled the globe without a cent of
money. He left New York two years
ago at the age of fourteen, and the tes-
timonials he carried with him are sufii-
cient proof Of his travels
The boy bears evidence of rough ex-
periences, and is almost destitute OF
clothing. When the Fortuna reached the
breakwater on Tuesday Capt. Christie
phersen sent ashore at Lewes, Del, and
bought him shoes and suit. Vincent,
who Is strong, healthy-looking lad, is
reucent about his travels. After the
customs officers passed him he took the

vincent boarded the Fortuna in Port

nnaily agreed to bring him here. Capt.
Christophersen says he knew little about
the lad further than that he was the
most plucky individual he ever met.
Vincent was lionized by people there.
He came north to Port Said in an Eng
lish tramp and while in that city re-
manned at the best hotels.
Since Vencent left New York he says
he has visited every civilized country of
interest. He went overland across
America to San Francisco. and then on
a steamer to the Hawaiian Islands.
While there he was entertained by the
deposed Queen, whose photograph he
carries. Written across the photograph
In her own handwriting she wishes him

and was once elected when he made
known his object. On board some of the
