the investigation Of the commercial

effect that Senator WashbHrn's friends

stead of going out as n free lance to
spy out the land the senator was al
ready in a big deal. Senator WASH
burn was accompanied by Roscoe
Cary, m attorney of No. 50 Wall

cording to the story, represent great

vim s. Brice, and the membership in
cludes Officeholders and capitalists.
The object of the syndicate and there
fore of Senator Washburn's trip to
China is to conclude arrangements,
which have already been nearly per-
