Senators on the other side say they will
support a sugar duty on the theory that
it is a tax for revenue only. / wish to
disclaim any responsibility for this duty
as a revenue duty. IL that were it's only
object il should not have my vote"
Mr.. Allison proceeded 10 point out the
changed conditions since 1876. In the
days Of his boyhood very little pure white
sugar was seen, Now, no sugar came on
the table Of rich or poor that had not
gone through some process Of refining.
The refining industry of this country was
entitled to some protection. He then ex.
planned the House and Senate schedules.
"Do you believe in protection to labor
or capitalP" asked Mr.. Tillman,
"That is aRenerality," was the answer.
1t was the policy Of this bill to do what
Europe had establish the produc-
tion Of sugar in this country and keep
the slOO,OOO0OO annually paid for sugars
by our people at home.

To Annex Hawaii.

A Washington dispatch TO the Chicago
NeCOS, dated June IL, says:
"a convention is on foot looking to the
annexation of the republic Of Hawaii to
the United States as Territory, and the
details of the plan are so nearly com.
plete as to warrant the belief that they
will soon be submitted to Congress. The
articles Of convention in the proposed
scheme of annexation are interesting.
Hawaii is to become Territory Of the
United States, ceding all her ports and
crown lands in exchange for the pro-
lection Of the United States, She is to
be known in the galaxy as the Territory
of Hawaii. The United States, it is pro-
posed, shall assume the debt Of the Ha.
wsiian republic to the limit Of 100000.
Friends OF annexation In Washington
declare that the President will submit
message to Congress on the subject be-
fore the adjournment OK the present ses-
sion"

INVESTIGATION ENDS.
The Committee Hears Some Testimony, Files
Its Report, and AdjOurns.


Its Report, and AdiOUrns.
The legislative committee appointed to
investigate charges OF corruption held
it's final meeting last week. Senators
Lswelling and Hanna appeared to make
statements in defense of themselves.
Senator Lewelling referring to the
evidence given by Warden Landis, said
that he had been approached by man
who said he an option on some land near
the Penitentiary and that il the State
would buy the land at a good price there
would be a profit Of $25, eco in the sale.
He had not been asked to go into the
deal. He had told Landis about it. He
did not, he said, ask him or suggest to
him thet the deal be attempted. In
regard to testimony relative to school
book bill given to Senator Titus, he said
that he had given Titus bill which
someone in Sedgwick County had sent
him. He had not read the bill ard told
Titus that IL there was anything in it
that would eerYa..asura suggestion OF
value he was at liberty to useit. He said
he had said nothing which would lead
Titusto believe that there was any pros
pect Of profit in the adoption of the
provisions Of the bill He knew moth.
ing Of the use Of any improper influences
being used in the Legislature. He said
that Tutcher had told him that he told
Titus that Lewelling was fixed because
he was on the committee which favor
ably reported the Hanna stock yards
bill, and he supposed that he was for the
bill. Mr.. LewelIing denied any knowl-
edge Of any change being made in the
contingent appropriation for the Rail
road Commissioners. In the original
bill it was $1,000 as it was when the bill
passed.
Senator Hanna denied that he had
been paid any money for supporting his
stock yards bill. He explained the sale
Of farm for a large price by saying that
it was sold as part Of deal under a
contract by which he was to receive
$500. 1t had been rumored that he
had sold $500 farm for that price. He
denied that he had been offered $1,000
to let his dairy bill die. He thought his
course had been consistent. He had
voted his convictions in almost every
case, the exceptions being on political
measures when the leaders took diff.
feTent view OF the matter. His vote on
the metropolitan police bill and sale of
Penltentiary coal bill were referred to as
exceptions. He said he favored maxi
mum rate law which is fair to all parties.
The committee then spent some time
consulting and preparing its report. The
following is the full report OF the com
mittee:

TEST VOTE ON SUGAR.
Senate Republican Caucus Schedule Passed
by Vote Of 32 TO 30.

Dy NOJo VI Oa w OVs
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE first test
vote on the sugar schedule was taken in
the Senate late to-day, resulting in the
adoption Of the Republican caucus
amendment increasing the House rate,
by the close vote of yeas 80, nays 30. The
affirmative vote was made up Of 20 Re-
publicans, Democrat, silver Republi-
can and l Populist. The negative vote
was made up of % Democrats, 3 Popullsts
and 2 silver Republicans, It was the clos
est vote so far taken on an issue of i'm
portance and it was accepted asshowing
that an amendment having the sanction
of the caucus was assured Of adoption.
The main speech Of the day came from
Mr.. Allison and was in the nature Of an
answer to charges made against the
sugar schedule as a whole, and defense
OF it.
Mr.. German of Maryland spoke against
the schedule and the entire bill, pointing
out that it's effect was to burden the peo-
pie without opening up to them new for
eign markets,
Mr.. White of California reviewed the
records Of Republican Senators on the
sugar schedule during the debate on the
Wilson bill, arraigning them for incon-
sistency.
Mr.. Caffery Of Louisiana and Mr.. Stew
art Of Nevada also spoke, the former
against and the latter for the pending
schedule, after which the vote was taken
Mr.. Caffery made long speech bitterly
hostile to the sugar trust. The sugar
trust, said he, is the only gigantic trust
in the world which rests entirely on
legislation for it's support. BY leglsla-
tion it controls the cane sugar product
OF the world, and whenever it thrusts
its hand into the Legislative hall there
was always q taint, a kind of malodor
arising from it's efforts to legislate in its
own behalf, and il it appears from rea-
sonable showing that what the trust asks
is too much, it should be refused.
"Your position" said Mr.. Platt, "is free
trade for the refner and protection for
the producer"
81 have stated and l repeat it again."
replied Mr.. Caffery, his voice rising until
it fairly rang through the chamber,
"that sugar is the ideal article for a
Democratic tariff for revenue only. Fit
were for protection should not advo-
cate it,"
Mr.. Stewart Of Nevada asked Mr..
Allison to state before the vote was
taken whether this bill gave the re-
finers greater advantage than the pres.
ent law.
II have no doubt" answered Mr.. Ali
son, "that excluding the countervailing
duty this bill does not give q greater ad-
vantage to the sugar industry than the
Wilson bill"
Mr.. Allison proceeded TO make gen
eral statement. He said thus far Sena
tors had been discussing decimal figures
and statistics without considering what
lies at the basis Of this and all schedules.

Gloomy New. From k,ouayA,

SAN FRAa0Isoo, Sept. l4-Corres- popdent Ryan, of the Chronicle, un- der date of August 23, on board the steamer Hamilton, writes as follows: Starvation stares us all in the face. or this confirmation comes from Louis Sloss. The steamer Bella, of the Alaska Commercial Company, overloaded with passengers, passed us at 3 o'clock this afternoon, with Mir. Sloss aud Manager Wilson on board. A stop of half an hour enabled us to obtain only a passing glimpse of affairs on the Klcndyke. Of ninety passengers on the Bella, seventy are miners returning with their home stakes aggregating S500,0O0, and the remainder are prospectors fleeing from the shadow of the famine to come. Louis Sloss confirmed all reports hitherto ob- talned of the shortage of food sup. plies.
 "'We have been compelled to adopt measures, said he, to prevent single individuals from cornering the food supplies. For this reason We have limited the quantity of grub to be sold to each person. One sack of flour each week is all that each man IS allowed to purchase. We closed our store for . time. after the Bella arrived, until we found oue what We had in stock, and how far it would go toward supplying the orders We had already.
 "'We will not sell supplies to hotels or restaurants, and, as far as possible, tO miners only. We do not guarantee to furnish passengers by our steamer, or to give them preference even. Everybody must take their chances. It is my advice to any man going in Co get out as fast as he can, unless he is supplied with full outfit of grub.
 "'The Palace restaurant at Daw- son has been closed, and the pro- prietors are leaving, being unable to procure supplies. Two syndicOtes were formed at Dawson, cam- posed of the moneyeJ men of the place, for the purpose of cornering the food supply. it was to defeat the plans of these syndicates that the companies adopted the policy of limiting the quantity of food to be sold to each person.
 Louis Sloss announced his inten- tion of endeavoring to persuade the Excelsior's passengers to return to San Francisco, and, as an induce ment for them to do so, he will ten. der them free passage for return to San Francisco. It Is doubtful if even this will persuade them to turn back.
 Among the passengers by the Bella was group of four miners, who, among them, have SI00.0O0 in gold dust in their valises. In order to protect their treasure from pos sible depredations, they have organ ized the party into four watches of four hours each, and stand guard over 1t continuously"
