THE SUGAR INVESTIGATIONS.
Senator Jones Says the Committee Will
Act in Due Time.

Washington, June 5.-Senator Jones.
Of Nevada, chairman of the Senate COM
mittee on contingent expenses, returned
to the city yesterday. Referring to the
Tillman resolution to investigate tho re-
ports that Senators have specialized in
sugar stocks, he said that the COMMITTEES
would take the question up in good time
but that SO far rs he WAS concerned he
would not be. hurried into reportinn uuon
n matter of so much Importance as Is
this.
He declined to discuss Senator Till
mans reference to their interview over
the question of reporting the resolution
beyond saying that when Mr.. Till.nan
came to see him he had simply ltolh him
that he would take it up with. his col
leagues of the committee az soon as he
could get them together, as he had not
prior to that time been able to do so.
The Senator contends that there has been
no undue delay, and that there will be
none, but add. that the committee will
proceed in an ordeil ~ and lignifled man.

Morning Paper Forced to Pub.
lish Carse's Record.
THE CORNER" II HOW REJOICING

1,ght Subject, Bat Bnly BAKER Clsama
the Achievement b Hh-Ths Single
Aim.
Yielding at last to An irresistible
pressure, the Union yesterday morn
ing devoted . number Of columns to
Csrse's record. That the article was
reluctantly Published 10 shown in
various ways. In the first place,
while all that happened during the
time the republican nominee was
mayor 10 greatly overestimated. the
reference to all that he did 10 tame
at that for the Union, aud in the sec.
ond place the candidate who has
thus been favored unawarss has been
fully impressed with the obligations
Ae owes to Billy Baker, rather than
TO the Eighteenth street politician.
There was great rejoicing in "ths
corner" yesterday attended by many
significant glsnces when the Union
came ont. Billy Baker Was received
with open arms when he came up
town-for some reason the recog.
milton the morning paper gives the
repu blican candidate under protest,
10 all credited to Billy. Just how
Billy succeeded in forcing the Union
to the unexpected position assumed
yesterday is q matter that will moi
be disclosed, but "the corner" 10 sat.
iefied, too, that the tall politician
probably convinced the editor of bis
own interests much the Same way hs
did little over year ago.
II In all the references that the
Union makes to Carse's career the
public can find any notable
achievement that 10 particularly dis.
tinguishable that would not have

plying the Office at that particular
time whom circumstance dictated
An unavoidable duty. The ARaU,
most assuredly has no purpose o,
aim 70 belittle or misrePrssent any
good work that may have been done.
Nevertheless, it. feels that the Union
will have to be proddsd again, for
the half has not yet been told Of the
Carse regime. Perhaps, however,
tho understanding with tall Willie 10
that this 10 to como in under another
head. In the meantime "the cor.
ner" 10 feeling quite we'll satisfied.
Anything 70 Eject Carss and Scott.
There 10 0 striking similarity be.
tween the way the local machine II
operating and the manner in which
the republican campaign under the
direction Of the Cook county ma.
chine is directing affairs in Chicago.
Indeed "the corner" is credited with
carrying the fight to Washington
just a. the Chicago bosses have, and
that Mark Hanna is giving some at
tention to the contest in both cities
now.
In Rock Island the situstion has
simmered down to the point where
the single aim 10 to elect Carse and
Scott at all Hazards. All else is to
be sacrificed for the success of these
two candidates. Originally it was
planned to nominate Kelly for sttor-
ney, but for obvious reasons this
was abandoned and Scott put on
