Taken as a whole, the Richmond team
is as good as any that has shown up
here.
Schmidt struck out eight men. but he
gave away seven bases by his wildness.
Snyder ought not to have called yes

Cochran will hardly be brought here
now.
Kahn and Foster are both out of the

BINETALLIC
CHANDLER !
The New Hampshire Senator INDUCES in
Bitter Sarcasm.
HIS NON PARTISAN IBYECTIYBS /
Senator Palmer and the Indianapolis Con
vention and the silverite Boilers
From the Sc. Louis Convention
vigorously Denounced.
HIS EOE-PARTISAN IBYECTIYES !

Washington Feb. 17.-Senator w. L.
Chambers speech I'm the senate yester-
day in advocacy of bimetallism was
enc of the notable efforts of the pres
ent session, not only for the scholarly
care with which the senator presented
the question from his standpoint but
for the bitter sarcasm addressed to
Senator Palmer and the Indianapolis
convention the arraignment of silver
Republicans who bolted the ST. Louis
convention and for the dramatic per-
sonal exchange between Mr.. Chandler
and Mr. Pettigrew, the latter being
one of the bolters from the ST. Louis
convention. Mr.. Chandlers speech
lasted three hours. and was replete
with incidents. 1t was an argument
against single standard of either metal,
gold or silver, and a warning against
a policy of monometallism. Then the
senator turned TO political phases Of
the question, speaking in turn of
Bryan. of Palmer and of Mckinley.
MI Palmer sat across the aisle and
was fully addressed by the speaker as
one who had contributed to the cleo
tion of Mckinley.
The controversy between Mr.. Chand-
Ter and Mr.. Petugrew was one of the
hottest personal episodes the senate
has had in some time, the South Da-
kota senator declaring that Mr.. Chaud-
Ier's statements relative to the viola
tion of pledges at st. Louis were wholly
and absolutely false. Mr.. Chandler
did not modify his statement, but mu-
tUal explanations restored cordial re-
lations. The peroration of Mr.. Chand-
Ter was an appeal to the incoming
president and his advisors to heed the
needs of the people, particularly on the
money question and a warning of
speedy political disaster certain to fol-
low delay.
Monday nights pension session hav-
ing practically failed Of its purpose,
owing to the difficulty in securing a
quorum, the house yesterday vacated
the order for a night session and de-
voted the day, after the routine busi-
ness had been disposed Of, to the con-
sideration of private pension bills.
Thirty-nine bills in all were passed, in
cluding bills to pension the widow of
General Samuel A. Duncan at $50, the
widow of Colonel d. Derussey at $50
the widow of General G. a. Hickman
at $50 and the widow of General Van
dever, a former member Of the house
from California, at $50. For the first
time this session the house on a
vote declined to override a pension
veto submitted to it for action. The
bill was that to pension Nancy G. AL
labach, the widow of Peter II. Ala
bach, of the One Hundred and Thirty
first Pennsylvania volunteers, at tho
rate of $50 per month. The house sus-
tanned the veto by vote Of lis to 79.

THE TRUST INVESTIGATION.
Leyow's Committee Now Examining the
Rnbber Generalization.

New York. Feb. 17.-John e. Searles,
secretary ard treasurer of the sugar
trust. was again before the Lexow
committee yesterday. He admitted
that the average price of the raw ma
terlal after the formation Of the trust
dropped 1857 per cent. a pound. while
the charge Of the rehner increased 157
per cent He also admitted that the
consumers profted nothing through
the difference in margin.
Mr.. Searles testified that aggrega-
tions of capital did much to develop
economy, and contended that the con-
sumer had benefited by the fan in
price of the raw material and con-
tributed little to the manufacturers.
He said he could see no reason why
the state should interfere with the
business of the American Sugar Re
firing company, and in the same
breath intimated that there were a
number of companies and monopolies
in this city that had no legal right to
exist.
Mr.. Searles testified further that but
for the consolidation of refneries sugar
would be half a cent a pound dearer
He also said that as much labor was
employed now per ton of output as
before, and that there had been q 10
per cent. increase in wages.
Lawson N. Fuller was recalled. The
essential portion Of his testimony was
in the statement that the rehneries
before the advent of the trust gave
employment to $4,000 to 10000 people,
10000 to $4,000 Of whom were discharged
after the consolidation.
Then the United States Rubber COM
pany was taken up, and Charles E.
Flint, treasurer Of the company, was
the first witness. His testimony re-
lated to the consolidation Of the various
companies, and asked as to the num-
Der of stockholders, witness said they
had Increased from 300 to 3,00O and
an equal number of preferred stock
holders, since the organization, and it
has been our endeavor to earn all
the money we lawfully can for our
6,000 stockholders"
Witness said all the books and pa
pers of the company were kept in the
main office of the company in New
Brunswick, N. J. He could produce
them if so ordered by the directors. IN
reply to another question witness said
that $20,O0O,OOO worth Of stock was is
sued on good will.

A burglary of a most daring character was
attempted on Monday night at the house of
James Irwin, inside foreman at Packer No. 3
colliery. Mr.. Irwin has gone West to visit
relatives and his wife and a lady friend
were left in charge of the house. Upon re-
firing for the night they locked the door of
their bed room. When they awoke the next
morning they found that the burglars had
made a hole in the bed room door with an
auger. The tool struck the lock on the inside
of the door and the burglars gave up the
work. They left the house without securing
anything. Upturned carpets and displaced
furniture showed the search that had been
made for money.
