SUGAR TRUST INVESTIGATION.
MIR. III. L. Terrell Examined by the
Committee Today.

AO00Js
WASHINGTON, June 8. 1S94.-The Senate
Committee charged with investigating the
alleged deal between the Sugar Trust and
Democratic Senators started in today on an
interesting branch of its inquiry 1t
had before it this morning Mr.. H. L..
Terrell Of Cleveland, Ohio, member Of the
trust, whose name has been mentioned prom
inently in connection with nearly all
the matters within the authority of
the committee from the alleged agree
ment of the trust to contribute to the
Democractic campaign fund to the reported
conferences in Washington over alleged de-
mands of the trust that its favors to the
party should be recognized by sub
stantial benefits to be conferred through
the sugar schedule. Another matter
inquired into by the committee was Of a
more personal matter to Mr.. Terrell. 1t
concerned the testimony of Mr.. Walter Gas
ton, the Wilkesbarre wire manufacturer,
who told the committee that while occup-
pying a room in Ethe Arlington Hotel, in
Washington next to that of Mr.. Terrell he
overheard conversation in Mr. TerrelPs
room about the sugar schedule which gave
him the impression that Senators were pres
ent and that a deal was being made looking
to an arrangement by which the trust would
be cared for or the Tariff bill defeated.

Interesting Addresses Listened To
BY Large Audience.
Last evening was the time for the members
monthly rally of the Young Mems Christian
Association, but, instead of the usual exer-
cises, the audience was highly entertained
by addresses by Major Thomas B. Odel and
General NJ. T.. McMahon of New York.
President w. E. Drake called the meeting
to order, and after singing America" /"
Rev J. G.. Jackson, Pastor of the Heddiag
NJ. E. Church, offered prayer. In introduc-
ing Major Odel, Mr. Drake said that he was
glad to welcome the distinguished soldiers of
the late war, who had SO kindly consented
to speak to the young men He thought we
could not hear too much of what was done
to preserve the Union.
Major Odel spoke of the various events
that led up to the Civil War. The Missouri
compromise, the Kansas Nebraska bill, the
Fugitive Slave law and the Dred Scott seces-
sion were all influences which brought about
the conflict of 1864. This grand American
Republic was begun by the American Revo-
luton, but the Declaration of Independence
did not become a living fact until eighty
seven years after its adoption. The Revolu-
tionary War was for preservation,
and the same idea was voiced
"We will save the Union with slavery or
without" Major Odel further said that
upon the young men of the present rested
the responsibility of continuing the work
which the soldiers of the late war had left
them-namely, the protection of this beauti-
full country, whose government was just,
fair and most powerful.
General McMahon gave very interesting
and vivid description of the battle of Gettys-
burg. He spoke of the events which led up
to the battle and then described
the three days contest as only an eye
witness thoroughly acquainted with
every movemeet could describe it, An inter
esting part of the address was the reading
of the minutes of a meeting of General
Meade, Commander-in-Chief of the Union
and his staff, held on the evening of the first
days fighU General Mcmahon spoke of the
criticism, and the various opinions in regard
to his memorable battle, but said that the
generals in command, and the army as well
had confidence in General Meade. The adj
dress was very instructive and thoroughly
enjoyed
The audience which nearly filled the two
large parlors of the association building
gave rising vote of thanks to the speakers
at the close
This evening the Ladies' Auxiliary Com
mittee of the Association will give recep-
tion to the Junior Department. The enter
tainment will be furnished by the Alma Ca
dets Miss Fannie Lawrence, soprano, and
others, after which refreshments will be
served.

BUILDING A CHURCH ON SAND.
First Reformed of Hoboken Having
TrouhIe with Its New Edifice.

First Reformed of EAoboken Having
Trouble with Its New Edifice.
Considerable CONSERVATION was felt among
the members of the congregation OF the First
Reformed Church of Hoboken, on Bloomfield
street, between Ninth and Tenth streets, to-
day, when it became rumored that the
foundations of the new building, which the
congregation is erecting are being built
upon quicksand A reporter of The JERSEY
CITY NEWS Investigated the rumor and
found that quicksand had been discovered
The corner stone of this building was laid
a month ago The original plan of the archi-
tect, Robert E. Dixon of Union Hill, was to
have the church foundations extend two feet
underground Work had hardly commenced
when the contractors, Mckenzie 81 Donohee
of Union Hill, discovered quicksand in their
path. The earth was unsound, but the con-
tractors didn't apprise the architect of their
discovery He heard of it and inspected
the ground, pronouncing it unsafe to
build upon. The contractors agreed
that the other buildings in the neighbor-
of foundations, but the architect, when he
made a closer examination, declared the
ground utterly unsafe. He refused to al
low the construction of the building
unless piles were driven into the
ground This was done, and between
the piles mortar was hiled IN. The piles
We're driven to safe bottom. The contract
ors thought yesterday that another bed of
quicksand existed in the front of the build
ing near the side walk, where the furnace is
to be put in ten feet underground, but later
they concluded it was not, but merely
cracked earth A big pool of water has
formed in the basement at the
spot where the furnace will be.
The contractors say it was formed by rains,
but resident of the neighborhood told the
reporter that a well is under the ground at
that place. Cellars in the neignborhood are,
most of them, flooded. The architect said
this morning that the building is safe now.

OPPOSED TO ORAMM[NG.
Harvard Faculty Will Prevent II
There.

BOSTON, June 8, 1694-Something of a
sensation was caused at Harvard College
yesterday by an official notice from the fac
ulty, disapproving of all forms of ''cram-
ming" for examination.
This is the first time that the Harvard fac
ulty has seen fit to publicly oppose the sys-
tenn of preparing men for their examinations
ON short notice. The Seminars" have been
common at Harvard for many years, and
many high-standing men have won big repu-
tations and, incidentally, considerable money
by successfully conducting these rapid oral
reviews These reviews last from two to
four hours, and are attended sometimes by
as many as hundred students, who pay
two or three dollars each for the privilege of
attending. 1t has also been customary in
the more difficult courses for some one to
prepare elaborate notes for sale, which, in
many cases, have been submitted to the in
stluctors for their approval. The last resort
of every belated student is the private tutor.
The official document is werded:
''Voted, That the faculty discountenances
the reviews known as Seminars conducted
Immediately before examinations, the un-
authorized publication and sale of lecture
notes, and ali coaching that abets students
in the neglect of regular work"

UNCLE SANS CLAIM.
Customs Duties IN Cuba Not Properly
Collected.
Bp Gable to the United Press.

MADRID, June 8, 1894, United States
Minister Taylor has notified the Government
that owing to misinterpretations of the
treaty with the United States the customs
duties are not properly collected in the Is
land of Cuba. Mr.. Taylor therefore claims
that the United States is entitled to reim-
bursement in the sum of 22,500,000 pesetas,
baslng the claim on the ground that articles,
which according to the English text Of the
agreement are free of duty, are not included
in the Spanish copy which was sent to Cuba
for the guidance of the customs officials
there.
If the Spanish Government comedies Mr..
Taylor's contention, the Cuban revenue will
be decreased by about Il, 900, 900 pesetas.

to prevent the shipment Of coke by railroad
was made last night and came very near
being successful. Near Evans Station on the
Baltimore & Ohio road. a desperate effort
was made at train wrecking, but it
proved unsuccessful. The debris found
filled on the tracks had scarcely
been removed, when a heavy train of nearly
a hundred cars of coal, drawn by three en-
gines, thundered by. The perpetrators of
the deed were evidently hidden in the dense
woods at the side Of the railroad, watching
for the result of their work. Additional
watchmen will hereafter patrol the tracks in
this district.
