nent in mercantile pursuits, and sew
eral lawyers whose clients interests 1t
was supposed, might be affected by
the investigation. A letter was read

agents of this city, calling attention to
the alleged existence of q pool by the
transatlantic steamship companies,
and requesting an investigation into
its methods.

dent Of the American Sugar Refining
company, was then sworn. Having
explained that prior to 1891, he was con-
nected with the eight sugar refining
companies now operating as the Ameri-
can, Mr. Havemeyer said that he had
nothing to do with the commercial or
fiscal side Of the business. He could
not give the capitalization Of the var
ious companies that were absorbed in
:
that was a matter which Mr. Searles
would probably be able to inform
the committee. The question was then
put to the Witness:

Sugar Refineries company transact any
business save sugar refining?"
L think not" replied Mr.. Havemeyer.

ned MS acceptance. He did not care

confidential and personal. He has ex-
pected the communication from Can

the month for Washington, ready to
enter upon his new duties immediate
~ after the inaugural ton Whether
Judge McKenna is to be attorney gen
eral or secretary OF tflee Interior in the
new administration is known only to
the president-elect.
YES" he said last night, 'T have
received a telegram from President
elect Mckinley proferring me a place
in the cabinet. l have wired an ac-
ceptance"
"As secretary of the interior?"
Il do not know that. The telegram
did not state. 1t will be either that or
attorney general. l am inclined to
think, however, that it will be the in
terror, as tnat place generally goes to
a Western man. and further as that
secretaryship was the principal topic
in the discussion In my interview with
the president-elect"
This telegram and the statement puts
at rest all doubts as to California s
representation in the cabinet. 1t was
pretty we'll known that he would be
given a place. Those who read be-
tween the lines of the dispatches from
Canton, were convinced that the ques-
tion was not whether McKenna was to
represent the West in the cabinet, but
what position he would be given. The
latter part is not yet settled by Of
fetal declaration, though Judge Nc
Kenna believes that the interior will
be his portfolio.

POLITICAL POLICE.
Case of Won LuetzOw Brought Up in
the Reichstag.

BERLIN, Feb 5.-Prince Hohenlohe, the
imperial chancellor, replying to a question in
the reichstag today, said it was impossible
to altogether dispose with the political police,
although it was true that it was not always
fortunate in the selection of its agents. The
chancellor also remarked that after the dis
closures OF the Lutzow trial, measures were
adopted to render similar occurances impos-
sible.
Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein, who was
one of the persons libeled by Baron Won Luet-
zow, and who at his trial developed unexpect-
edly from a witness into a most able cross
examiner for the prosecution, defended his
conduct during the proceedings referred to-
He insisted that the triaI of the newspaper
man, who was paid agent of the secret poll
teal police, was necessary in order to fore
stall the Socialists who would otherwise have
come forward in their "so-called revelations :"
Count Won Mirbach, the agrarian leader
said that the Conservatives were convinced
that Prince Bismarck would never have gone
into court OF law in a similar case adding:
HE would have suppressed such abuses with
an iron hand"

DETROIT, Mich, Feb 5.-Mrs Russell A.
Alger, wife of the coming secretary of war
in the Mckinley cabinet, is well known in
Detroit for her ability and goodness of
heart. She is hostess Of charming manner,
wide hospitality and innate grace that make
every one Of her guests prfctly at home
while under her roof. In the ballroom or in
her own home, Mrs. Alger always makes her
presence felt. The Algers have been fore
most in Detroit society and the functions
at the Alger house have been pronounced the
best and most elaborate in Detroit. Mrs.
Alger will find congenial field for her social
proclivities in Washington, where, as the
wife of the minister of war; she will find
ample expansion for her social nature Mrs.
Alger, while duly appreciating the value of

society and its pleasures, is anything but
ostentatiOus. She enjoys pleasant associa-
in that respect. At the same time she is not
unconscious of the fact that there is suffer
ing in the world and she is charitable to a.
fault. In this characteristic she is more
than REINFORCED by Gen. Alger, whose kind
ness is proverbial. This pair are happy in
their own af1nity-a happiness that is accent
uated by mutual disposition to make bright
er all lives that touch their own. Mrs AL
gers face Is familiar to the suffering poor
and she Is a well-known figure in certain
sections of the city where the fortunate in
life's struggle are seldom seen. A brilliant
social career undoubtedly awaits the wife of

state commerce of the house, has is
sued an invitation to the railroad tick
ct brokers to appear before his COM

opportunity to be heard, and the COM
mittee decided to allow their represen-

purpose.

he has lived ever since the Beecher trial
For a long time Mrs. Tilton was al

month ago. she suffered a paralytc
stroke, from which she was slowly re-
covering, when, in the latter part OF
last week. she was again stricken and
succumbed to it's effects three days ago.

night. Few were admitted to the house.

for eight years and has been renomi-
mated by the president as the Democratic
member of the board. When the nomi-
nation was taken up i'm the committee on

sideration was postponed and Mr. Bacon
did not enter into an explanation. Ii is
