Eight Thousand Witu.sscs.

The hearing in the contested election case Of
Timothy j. Campbell against Henry c. Miner
was begun yesterday at the Office of John j.
Adams, 320 Broadway. Mr.. Miner was elected
from the Ninth Congress district. Mr.. Camp
bell was represented yesterday b. Lawyer How
ard p. Okie, while Comptroller Ashbel p Fitch
looked after the interests of Mr.. Miner. Al
though the corridors leading to the office were
quito crowded. there was present when the pro-
ceedings began only very small part of the
5000 witnesses Mr.. Campbell said he would
bring to prove bribery and intimidation.
AT iirst there was some delay because there
was no Bible to swear the witnesses on. Then
delay because of difference of opinion as to
whether stenographer or a typewriter should
record the evidence, This was settled by the
introduction of n rather pretty typewriter, and
the controversy thereupon ceased.
The first witness, called was Samuel Landau
Of l45 East broadway. He said he was man
aging collector for an association of physicians
and surgeons. He Is also memberof the Argyle
though he admitted that he had heard a rnmor
that Mr.. Miner had promised to give the Argyle
Clubs piano II he were elected
Didn't you tell Maurice Goldwater that IL
his club would support Mr.. Miner he would
present 1t with piano?
The witness paused moment and then said
slowly: Il doat remember"
Mr.. Landau said that there was hired piano

such questions" said he, " interfere with the
secrecy of the ballot, and ought not to be
asked"
The witness admitted that he had signed
statement in the Oriental Club containing a ref
erencs to Mr.. Simpson.
Did you ever say that you received $40 from
Sinner Simpson of 81 Attorney street with the
understanding of getting votes for Sinner and
Grant in the last election :" Lawyer Okie asked.
:" don't propose" replied Kirschenbaum, Ito
give evidence against myself"
After recess an adjournment TO March IL was
taken, because there was not a single witness on
hand.

Washington Heights Taxpayers DenOunce
the Rapid Trnn sit CommI IssIon.


Five hundred of the Taxpayers OF Washington
Heights and vicinity crowded into the A theneum
at l55th street and Tenth avenue last night to
try to hurry along rapid transit. The meeting
was called to order by ex-Judge James r. Angel
who, with Lawson n. Fuller and II. C.. Robin
son. made speeches denouncing the present
Commissioners and their underground plan of
rapid transit.
who were unable to attend the meeting They
we're all in favor of an extension of the present
elevated railroad system.
The following resolutions were adopted:
RcsOlrTd, That il is The sense OF this meeting,
derived from an experience of eighteen years
that the system of elevated railways now In use
in this city is the most reliable and practicable
method OF rapid transit that can be devised and
that to its extension and development can
only look with confidence for actual and perma-
nent relief. and that its construction and use
should be encouraged and assisted by public
authority.
"ResOlred, also, That it is our belief that
der the construction and operation Of any sys-
tenn of rapid transit by municipal authority
practicable aud inefficient, and would tend to
open the way to speculation, unjust discrmina-
tions, and political favorit ism.
"RCsDirtd, That the Chairman of this meeting
have power to appoint committee Of five 10
prepare bill and present II To the Legislature,
asking them to legiSlate out OF Office the present
Commission composed of the following named
citizens in its place: Abram :. Hewitt. Gen.

John ID. Crinmins. This Commission to have
power to grant permit to any company ut
present operating amy surface or elevated road

provided they will begin such extension sixty
days from the time OF granting said permit"

SUGAR BOUSTY ESTIMATES.
The $4,000 Appropriation VIII Ne
Insuihcient to Pay Claims In Full.

New ORLEANS. March 5.-Gen Louis Souer
aud Col. Williams of the Louisiana Sugar
Bureau, left for Washington last night They
organized the Sugar Bureau last September to
collect and preserve data as to the amount Of
sugar made in Louisiana from the crop Of 1904
The bureau was private and unofficial. but was
organized on the same lines that which
operated under the Secretary of the Treasury,
aud was composed mainly of the former United
States Sugar Inspectors.
The object Of the visit of Gen. Souer and Col.
Williams to Washington is to explain he work
done in the Sugar Bureau, that II may I've recog-
nized basis for the claims of the planters for
bounty under regulations Of the Treasury De-
partment. The claims under the Sundry Civil
Appropriation act will be based upon the report
OF the special bureau. The total OF the Loui-
siana crop is close on 10000. 900 pounds. AT
eight -tenths of "a cent pound this will call for
$500 900, or more than the entire appropria-
tion made by Congress tor the payment OF the
bounty. without taking into account the beet
sugar cane sugar made in other States. The
made by Congress appropriation is S5,000,000.

THE BILTIMORE POCKET TETO.
Comments in Baltimore the Pre- esldent's
Failure to Sign q Bill.

BALTIMORE. March 5.-Presdent Cleveland
has disappointed baltimore by the pocket
Veto he placed on the bill providing for the free
entry of foreign goods intended for exhibition
at the Baltimore Exposition in 1897. The inn
preston is general that he used that method to
punish Senator German for holding up the nom
inGtion Of District Attorney Marbury and other
Maryland appointments, although the Presi-
dent has said that the bin did not properly pro-
tect the sales of goods imported for exhibition.
The fact that President Cleveland did not
sign the Centennial bill will have iio effect on
the Exposition" said General Manager iirackett
to-day. The Presidents given reasons for not
signing the bill shows an entire msconception
OF the aims and purposes OF the measure"
Edwin Harvie Smith, attorney for the Gem
tcnnial Association, says the bill as passed by
the Senate and House was similar in import and
almos; identical Ia terms with the ones relating
to the Worlds Columbian Exposition, the
Philadelphia Centennial. the California. Ia
coma. and Atlanta fairs. all of which lave re-
ceived the Executive approval.
despatch from Washington quotes Private
Secretary Thurber as saving that the bill was
not signed because the Treasury Department
recommended that 1t should not be signed. The
measure, IL is asserted, was loosely drawn, and
il would have required nifty Treasury agents to
overlook properly the business of the Exposition
if the bill had become a law.

suMA1RA ToBACCo DECISION
ny It Nearly 81. 900. 600 in Duties 4. saved

Among tho decisions handed down yesterday
in tho United states Circuit Court OF Appeals
was one In favor Of the United States against E.

lar claims for refunds.
In 1902 the Circuit Court of Appeals decided
the Blumbin case which seemed so favorable to
importers and final in its nature that the
Government was On the point Of paying all the
when it was determined TO test the question
again before the supreme Court in Washington
u the case of Erhurdt. then Collector Of the
case was more favorable to tho Government.
The controversy in the present case OF Ro.en:
wnld y Bro. is complicated. The tariff OF, 1883
provided for two rates OF duty on leaf tobacco.
Tobacco Of which 10 per cent. was suitable in
size and fneness of texture for wrappers, and
which was 20 light that more than 100 leaves
were required to weigh pound was to be clnssi-
fed at 20 cents per pound; all other leaf to-
baccO AT 30 cents per pound.
Tho importers have always claimed that .
large part Of the tobacco classified by the Col
leCtOr at 15 cents should have been classified at
30 cents, and numerous suits have been brought
to recover the difference OF 40 cents per pound.
lne importers mare Always CIhlUeU lIbt tno
Governments method OF examining tobacco in
order to discover its real characteristics was un-
lawful. and that the quantity examined was in
sufficient to determine its classification. Tho
lltigatpd cases have inv ariably turned upon the
burden of proof and the true construction of the
statute.
Another much disputed point has been the ap-
picatiOn OF the percentage and weight tests pro-
psled Sh-t he tariff 1aIs>ssi. yhe importers must
in future provo that the average weight of
leaves examined IL heavier than l-100th OF .
