the charges. Senator Dickinson SAID
that the Examiners representatives
would appear only as witnesses; that
he did not propose that the Examiner
should conduct the case. Knight asked
that supposing the Examiner was not
in possession of the facts when the article
was written and could now furnish the
proof, would it not be permitted to do
so?
Morehouse said If the Examiner was
willing to admit that they had no facts
when the article was written, he was
willing to forego the examination of the
Examiner representatives.
Knight would not admit this, and
Dickinson said that further argument
was unnecessary.
Editor Lawrence was recalled He was
| asked If he had any other information
Oh the subject besides the dispatches
containing the story. He said that he
had, that 1t was in writing and refused
TO name the author of the informatio
Morehouse asked the contents of the
writing. Witness declined to answer
The committee ruled that he must ans
wer. Lawrence still refused.
Morehouse said that the Examiner had
made direct charge and that Lawrence
had communication or knowledge of
such that would throw light on it; that
he would ask If the communication had
any bearing on the bribery, he would
ask that the proper resolution be intro
duced tomorrow morning in the senate
that the witness be Imprisoned
McEnerney said that witness had
rights which must be respected and the
senate could only go so far.
Morehouse said he would have the
pI oper resolution introduced to have
Lawrence cited and the questions he
had refused to answer put to him again

Franklin Hichborn and c. H. Jessen,
of the Examiner, testified that they
knew nothing of the article charging
bribery.
Alfonso Murphy said that he could
net tell of his own knowledge who wrote
the article, but that he could guess who
the author was.
Levings was recalled and was asked If
he knew of any man who received money
for his vote. The witness answered that
he did not of his own knowledge. He
was asked il he knew of any kilograms
having been sent or received by any
senator. He declined to answer and the
refusal was taken under consideration.
Superintendent Jaynes was put on the
stand He said that he would furnish
any kilograms that would be designated
ard the same fight that was made in the
assembly was gone over. The claim was
made that the subpoena was INSULT
cient Mr. Jaynes said that no one knew
OF the existence of any kilograms regard
ing bill 273 except the parties between
whom they passed. At least such should
be the case and if any employe had be-
trayed the secrets of the office he would
like to know it, 1t was decided that the
Examiners attorneys should prepare a
subpoena which would cover all the
papers in the possession of Jaynes.
The committee then went into execu-
tive session.

ARKANSAS BONANZA.
Valuable Discoveries of Pearls in
Many of the Streams.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 25.-New dis
coVerieS of valuable deposits of pearls
in lakes and rivers in Arkansas have
added greatly to the excitement already
existing over similar discoveries and
today thousands of people are wading
through the water in different parts of
gems. The latest and most sensational
river and the creeks, lakes and bayous
near Little Rock, where pearls have
been picked up ranging in value from
ten to eight hundred dollars each. Hun
dredS of people are working the Saline.
White and other rivers and many yalu-
able finds have been reported.
Additional discoveries were made on
the Fourche river yesteday and hun
dreds of people are swarning to that
stream. A staff representative of the
Arkansas Gazette who has spent much
time in investigating the matter says
there are 81 streams in the state that
are rich in pearls of large size. 1t has
now developed that in the course of
survey made in White river in 1895 five
thousand dollars worth of pearls We're
collected by members of the survey in
the course of their duties.
Recent discoveries lead to the asser-
ton that never in mans history were
so many and so large pearls discovered.
Pearls of from 80 to so grains in weight
are no uncommon thing to find in the
possession of country lads, who fish for
pearls for paStime. The color of the
pearls found is that of a saline rose and
the texture is firSt-class

ARMOUR ON PROSPERITY.
New Tariff Law Makes Americans
Masters of the Commercial
Situation.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-P. D. Armour has
returned from his European trip. When
he went away good times were only a
prediction. When the porter placed the
carpeted stool on the platform for him
to step upon, he smiled as if he recog-
nized good times in the crowd on the
depot platform.
In response to a request for his views
on the present conditions of business,
Mr.. Arnor gave signed statement,
as follows:
THE new tariff bill is the best thing
that ever happened to business inter
eSts of the United States. Germany
and France are being made to take the
same kind of medicine they have been
giving us for the last few years and
they have had enough of it already.
Germany has quit threatening retalia-
ton and France will quit, too, in a
few weeks. They are both taking down
the wall they had built up against
months our goods will find a market
there which they had not had for years
The people of the United States are
masters of the situation. The Germans
and French acknowledge it They can't
get along without our products.
Five years of sunshine have begun.
never have predicted 81. 05 wheat, but
/ did predict that wheat would go up to
81, and / believe it will stay there. Eu-
rope is obliged to buy our cereals, and
it has all the money necessary to pay
for them. There can be just as much
wheat exported at 81 a bushel as at rs
cents. The people of Europe will pay
one price as quickly as the other. Corn
and oats and provisions are bound to
go up with wheat

NEW WINDOW GLASS TRUST
It Will Control Wages as Well as
Prices.

Chicago, Aug 25.-The American Win
dow Glass association, strong organi-
cation along the latest improved trust
lines, will be the outcome of the meet
ing of the glass manufacturers held
here yesterday. It will take the place
of the old trust which went into vo1un-
tary liquidation four years ago this fall
But it will be stronger than the old
body. 1t is proposed to organize along
company, the corporate title of the plate
glass men. The products of all manu-
facturers will be paid for at an agreed
price and turned over to the manager of
the trust, who will distribute the pro-
ducts among the jobbers. Production
will be pro-rated according to the num-
ber of pots operated by each manufac-
turer.
Three-fourths of the window glass
makers of the country were represented
at the meeting. The majority of the
unrepreSented one-fourth have Signi-
fed their willingness to go into the
combination. There are 1000 pots in
the country and the new association will
control l. 500 of them.
The meeting was presided over by H.
B. Smith of Hartford, Ind. There was
an hours informal discussion and the
consensus of opinion Favored the plan
as outlined which was championed by
William Loeff1er, Secretary Phillips and
T. H. Hart of Muncie.
While the question of wages was not
formally discussed, it was announced
the articles of association will provide
for the regulation and equalization of
wages according to the selling price of
glass. AS soon as the association is
formed, there will be an increase made
in the price of glass and wages it is
said, viii be raised 10 to 20 per cent.

"WOMEN TRIUMPHANT.
Young Sculptor Mclean May Re-
place the Famous Status.

Lexington, Ky, Aug. 25.-The Hart
Memorial association here is making
rapid progress toward replacing the
famous masterpiece of Kentucky's S
great sculptor Joel T. Hart.
Sculptor Saul of Florence, Italy, has
sent to the association photograph of
a model which he has made for the
reproduction of the Woman Triumph
ant" and the young sculptor, w. L..
Mclean, of Cincinnati, who is a native
Kentuckian, has asked to be allowed
to submit a model and compete for the
work of reproducing the famous stat
ue.
Mr.. Mclean says he believes he can
make a satisfactory reproduction of
the statue, and since he is a Kentuck-
ian, the association thinks it highly
proper that the work of reproduction
should fall to a son of the state which
gave birth to the originator of the IA
nous statue.
A critic, speaking of SauPs. photo
graph of his model, says:
The artist seems to have failed in
catching the spirit of the former stat
ue. Whereas, IN Hart's Woman Tri-
umphant. she holds the arrow aloft as
though determined Cupid should not
have it, in this model of Saul the down
ward-pointed hand holding the arrow
seems almost as though she might re-
lent and beStow it upon him.

They have changed. The mayor ad-
dresses them briefly as follows:
8 Fellow Citizens and Exiles / see
before me what is now left of that ex-
patriated body of saloonkeeprs that
were in Topeka when prohibition began.
There are not SO many of you now as
fallen victims to the wiles of the evan
gelist and some to the wiles of the po-
lice. Some of you are in the Meth
dist church and some in the peniten-
tiary. Some of you have experienced
religion and some the delirium tremens.
More of you ought to be in the Meth
odist church, and perhaps more in the
penitentiary, for you are still too nu-
merous. Some of you are reasonably
decent men; and those are the ones we
need to sell cold beer.
9. AS financial matters have got to
very, low ebb We have made arrange
ments to locate in our city 10000 people
who bring with them one million dol
lars. They are to take hold and live
made them a promise that we will not
by law prohibit them from drinking
cold beer and eating pretzels- They
will not agree to drink the beer or eat
the pretzels if they come, but they want
the privilege.
g They can get the beer and pretzels
where they now live, and if they move
at all they will move to place that will
not cut off what they consider their
rights. They will not come here un-
less we concede the point, and we have
come. We wish they would have some
sense and take hydrant water, angel
food and the Methodist church, but they
are obdurate. They won't come here
simply to get beer and pretzels, because
they can get them anywhere else on
earth; but they won't come here unless
they can get both.
We have concluded to have them
come and we need five saloonkeepers.
We won't need all of you. Five is all
we need. Each of you five will be
expected to give a good bond in the
sum of $4,000 conditioned that you will
not sell to minors nor to intoxicated
persons, nor to husbands whose wives
warn you not to sell to their husbands;
that you will allow no gambling in your
places and will keep open only during
such hours as the ordinances permit,
and will sell nothing but straight goods,
and will do no credit business and will
pay $50 each per month license and
keep out of politics. Other regulations
will be made by the city council from
time to time

STEAMERS FOR THE YUKON
They Are Being Shipped Across the
Continent by Rail.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-The North Ameri-
can Transportation and Trading COM
pany will have at least seven more
steamers on the Yukon river than it has
at present, by the time navigation opens
in Alaska next June.
The first vessel to be added to- the
Weare fleet is John C. Barr, formerly
known at Toledo, O., as the Valley
City The Barr has passed through
Chicago on its way to st. Michaels is
land Capt. E D. Conaings, master of
the vessel said he expected to be ready
to go UP the Yukon with the first lot of
spring passengers when the ice breaks
up. The vessel occupied four fiat cars
and one box car She was taken apart
by a ship building company at Toledo.
Capt Comings says the experiment is
so far such a success that the Toledo
company will probably sign contract
with the transportation company to
furnish several other Toledo steamers
for the Alaska trade. The Barr will
carry about 200 passengers and 400 tons
of freight.
Capt Comings says he believes that
by next spring there will be at least 80
more steamers doing business on the
Yukon from st. Michael island and
Dawson City, than there are at pres
ent.

MELONS FOR CoNyICTs.
Remarkable Scene Witnessed at. .
Georgia Prison.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 25.-There were nine
ty happy negroes wearing the stripes of
convicts in Georgia yesterday.
All their happiness was caused because
Deputy Sheriff C. P. Trimble has a big
heart and also big watermelon patch.
Mr.. Trimble's watermelon patch is sit
uated in East Point and for some days
squad of ninety negro convicts has been
working the road that runs by the
forbidden fruit. 1t does not take the ac-
tuaI sight of the juicy fruit to make
Georgia negro want it for it is ever up
permost in his mind, but when for days
they are forced to work right in sight
and smelling distance of their heaven it
is almost more than the flesh can stand.
Yesterday it was raining and they could
not work and Mr.. Trimble ordered Cap
tain Duncan, who has charge of them to
turn them in and let them eat their fill.
Captain Duncan knew better than to turn
ninety hungry convicts right into a field
of melons, so he selected several of the
TRUSTEES and sent them up to the field
with a big two-horse wagon. Those trust
les knew what they had to do and if one
wagon ever had a load of melons that one
did.
There were no knives to cut them up
with. There were dainty slices like
one sees in a boarding house. It was like
a swarm of locust turned loose in a grain
field There was one long swish and a
swush, blur of red, universal grunt of
satisfaction and the wagon was on the
way back to the field for more.
Oliver Twist wasn't in it when it came
to calling for more with these hungry
convicts. When the wagon came back
with 200 800 more the melons that had
gone before had been forgotten and the
second onslaught began. 1t was more
stubborn and a little longer, but the vic
tory was just complete.

FOR ROOF FAIRGROUNDS.
New Departure in New York School
houses that Are Being Built.

Anew departure III NSW = OEh NoCAO0A-
houses that Are Being Built.
New York,Au 25-Roof Fairgrounds
are to be a feature of several of the
new school houses that are now under
construction or soon to be built in the
lower and more crowded part of the
city.
One of the laws passed in 1895, as a
result of the laboE-S of the Glider tene-
ment house commission in the previous
year, provided that thereafter no school
houses should be built in the city with
out open air Fairgrounds. In downtown
districts, where land is exceedingly val
uable, they have decided in several
cases to place Fairgrounds on the roof,
where they can be provided for trihlng
additional expenditure.
The first of the buildings with such
Fairgrounds to approach completion is
new public school building No. i, which
stands on the south side of Henry street
and runs from Catherine street to Oil
Yer street. It is five stories in height,
without counting the playground, which
may in a sense be regarded as an addi-
tional story
The open space on the roof will em-
brace about 10000 square feet. The play
ground will be open only on the south
side. On the north, east and west of
the building the walls are to be carried
UP Is or 16 feet, so as to give the play
grounds protection from the winds of
winter. On the south side the wall
rises to the height of four or five feet
child climbing up on it and falling over.
A further protection will be furnished
in stout wire netting that will be
stretched across the entire top and run
down to the inclosing wall on the south
side. The netting will not only save the
school children from the danger of fall
ing over in case they are ventureSOme,
but will likewise prevent them from
from throwing anything over the walls
TO the peril of the heads of people pass
ing on the sidewalks below. If they
toss balls in in their play the balls will
be in no danger of getting lost
The playground is irregular in out
line, since there is a wing at the east
end of the building over which it will
extend, and provision is also made for
carrying the Stairways to the roof. The
wire netting overhead will be supported
by a framework of iron. AS the width
of the playground is so feet this frame
work is rather elaborate. Superintend-
ent Snyder is of the opinion that such
heavy truSSeS are not needed and thai
no harm would result from supports OF
Saspipe at intervals in the playground
and it is probable that this idea will be
adopted in the other buildings where
Fairgrounds are to be provided on the
roof.
The exact cost of this new departure
has not been figured out, but Mr.. Sny-
der believes that it will not exceed 81,
900.

CRUSADE AGAINST HATPIN.
They Have Caused Serious Accidents
and London Newspapers Are
Down on Them.

London, Aug. 25.-Owing to the fact
that there have been two cases recently
of persons having their sight destroyed
by the enormous hatpins that are now
worn by women, the newspapers have
started a crusade against the fashion.
A man who was riding in an omnibus
had one of his eyes pierced by pin in
the hat of a woman sitting next to him
her head being thrown against his
face by a sudden jolt of the vehicle. In
the other case a girl was blinded by a
pin in the hat of a companion with
whom she was playing.
