The investigation of the scrap iron
deals that is now being made is the sub
ject of considerable adverse comment. be-
cause it is being conducted secretly. The
parties who are being investigated are pub
lie officials, and there does not seem to
be any reason why the Investigation
should not be open, unless there are in
nocent parties who might unnecessarily
become involved The reports of what is
developed in the investigation are liable
to be incorrect, as they are gathered out
side of the room in which the investiga-
ton is held. The main facts are already
known, and there doesn't appear to be
any good reason for conducting the inves-
tigation in secret.

BLAMEs HIS wIFE's MOTHER.
Answer of Albert C. Tenley to Pet
tion for Divorce.

A nswer of Albert c. Tenley to PetI-
tion for Divorce.
The answer of Albert C. Tenley to the
bill Tor divorce tiled by his wife December
2, 1895, was placed on record yesterday
by W. NICK. Clayton, the defendants
solicitor, in which 1t is stated that the
trouble between the two grew out OF the
persistent interference of the mother of his
wife.
lie alleges that lie was ever coHsiderate
OF his wifc's welfare, and that he con-
tributeSi to her mothers support. she hav-
ing made her home with them during
the six years of their married life.
He charges that his wife is possessed
OF a violent and uncomfortable temper, that
her household duties were performed in an
Gncleaniy, untidy, and siovenly manner, and
that her personal habits were such as 10
render his life with her unbearable. He
also accuses his wife of having set his
authority at naught, and that during his
absences from home she visited the resort
of the idle and the vicious of the neighboI-
hood.
The defendant says he attempted to
support their children after he separated
from his wife but that she refused his
aid and returned TO him articles of CLOTH
ing sent 10 them with the statement that
they were not good enough for her children
to wear.
He denies the possession of any means
whatever, and petitions that he be not
required to pay alimony, not only because
of his financial inability, but for the adj
ditiopal reason that his wife has ample
means with which 10 carry on her suit, and
that she is, and has been ever since their
separation, in government employ, and in
receipt OF a regular and rcmunerative
salary.
The parties were married April 27, 1881,
by a Methodist minister, and the wife
sued for divorce upon the grounds of
wilful desertion from and after February
Z, 1887.

DISCUSS The TARIFF RATES
Witness in Chapman Trial Asked
His Views of Wilson Bill.
Time Largely Consumed in Arguing
Poinfs-Mr. Durfee's Response 10
u Question Raised Laugh.

Subsequent to the noon recess OF yester-
day, the examiDation OF Benjamin Durfee,
clerk to the Finance Committee OF the
Senate, and witness in the Chapman
trial, was resumed, and be was kept on
the stand the balance or the afternoon.
His testimony was given at long intervals,
the attorneys requiring great deal or
time to argue the points raised as TO the
admissibility OF the questions.
The defense, as a proposed test OF the
accuracy OF his Judgment as to the tariff
schedule, and the effect upon stocks OF the
W WilsoD bill and the Senate amendments,
branched Off into interrogatories concern
ing other articles in the tariff schedules,
and the government objected.
Judge w ilson said 1t was the purpose to
show that, after all the talk about the
\ W ilson bill, other stocks and articles
fiuctuating equally with the sugar inter-
est iron was never so low as under the Nc
KiDley act.
The court said that as test merely of
the witness knowledge, the examination
might proceed, but in respect TO the pend
ing issue, 1T must be confined to the sugar
schedule.
The questioning was proceeded with on
that line.
Mr.. Durfee was asked II there was not
a diversity OF sentiment among those who,
as refiuers and dealers were known to
have been in Washington when the bill
was before the Senate, and who sought
audiences there to discuss the tariff feat
ures. He replied that there was such
diversity. Some favored cne schedule,
while Others proposed another.
Asked whether or not he was present a
the conferences held, when the committee
was considering the bill, he said he was not.
The measure was considered by the Demo-
cratic members alone, aud their conclusions
were afterward submitted to the caucus.
Later the whole subcommittee was made
cognizant of the proposed amendments and
the bill was sent forward to the full Senate.
Judge Edmunds asked the witness if 1t
isn't the usual procedure for the ma jority
party In the Senate to prepare these
measures in caucus.
Mr.. Durfee created quite laugh by
saying in response that he thought the Re
publicaDs had been less harsh in the en-
forcemeDt OF the rule. The ex-senator
joined in the laugh, but evidently thought
II was at his expense, for be at once arose
to explain.

should be asked that question. / know the
the witness knows it also, and ! desired
him to state what he knew. 1 did not

picion that some secret and unusual pro-
ceeding was had"

WHAT WOLCQTT LEARNED
Found That Bimstitalism Was Pop
ular in Europeas Countries.
But 1t WIN Take Long While
Before Silver Is Recognized
by Any of Them.

United States Senator WoIcott of Colo
rado, who has Just returned from an ex-
tended stay in Europe, when asked what the
binietailists OF Europe were doing, sait
that an International committee OF the Eu
ropean Bimetallic Leagues, Including Mr..
Allard, Belgian delegate to the Brussels CON
Terence, and leading bipietallists from
England, Austria, Germany and France, had
an important conference recently in Paris
ana he had several interviews with its
members.

continued, "or the unselfish and importan,
efforts throughout England and the conti
nent IN favor OF the recognition OF silver
There is hardly an intelligent Landowner
in Europe who is not binetallist. There
were two important results OF the meeting
in Paris.
THE first was a plan for an identical
resolution on the importance OF the inter
national agreement to be introduced 81
multaneousiy in the English Parliament, the
French Assembly and the German Reichstag,
which was agreed upon; and another tni
portant result was the establishment OF
cordial and closer relations between the
bimetallist associations OF the different
countries OF Eu rope, notably between
France and Germany, land the reception
OF the French republic, was, from a for
.isn point OF view, important and sig
nificant.
''The statesmen OF France and the mar
ager OF the Bank OF France are bimeta.-
lists, and the public opinion favors BIZ
metallism. The Paris newspapers, how
ever, with one or two exceptions, con-
troled by private monied interests, are
gold monometaliists.
While bimetaliists abroad are ac-
lively at work, it must, nevertheless. be
admitted" said Mr.. Wolcott, that the
prospect OF any speedy action is not
favorable. In Germany, where there has
been much hope. the banking element,
aroused by the possibility of action by
the Reicbstag, is expendiDg much effort In
favor of the single standard, and its In
fluence is naturally widely felt. Whoever
invites this country TO await European
agreement before opening our mints to
silver, offers no hope of definite relief"
