submitted a telegram signed by w. F.
Herrin, which read as follows:
Please let up in your opposition to
A. B. 273. Will explain when l see you.
The Senator explained that he had
previously promised Senator Langford
to vote for the bill and he received the
telegram just as the roll was about to
be called
superintendent Jaynes was called, but
Judge Carpenter objected on the ground
that the subpoena was not properly is
sued. He said that as the attorney he
would not permit Mr.. Jaynes to answer
any questions or produce any telegrarns
under the subpoena. The committee in
formed counsel that Senator VOORHEES,
and Mr. Hayward had consented to the
production of any kilograms to or from
either on the subject and that after any
questions We're propounded he would
have ample opportunity to object to an
answer.
Mr. Jaynes took the stand and in
formed the committee that he would not
produce any kilograms unless they were
described SO that he could identify them.
The committee made an order for Mr..
Jaynes to produce on Wednesday at IL
O'Clock any kilograms that may have
passed between Mr.. Hayward, Mr.. Her
rim, Mr.. Baker and any of the members
of the Legislature who voted for the
bill.
The opinion of those who heard Judge
Carpenters objections is that he will ad-
wise Mr.. Jaynes not to obey the order
unless the senders of the kilograms con-
sent.
ASsemblymen Cross, Foreman, Fon-
tana, Goodhue, Hudson, Price, Godfrey,
Kea bles, Houghton and Landsborough
were called to testify. All of them had
read the Examiner" article and that
was the first intimation that any OF
them had that there were rumors of cor
ruption in connection with the passage
of the bill. None of them sent or re-
ceived any letters or kilograms in rela-
ton to the bill, and none of them had
been offered money or other valuable
consideration to vote for it.
The committee adjourned to meet at
9 o'clock this morning

ciety. 1t is an amendment to the Act
of 1873, which provided for the protec-
ton of children and the prevention and
punishment of wrongs to children
The provisions of the bill seemed sat
isfactory to the House with one or two
exceptions. These were a clause MAX
ing children liable to arrest for begging
or for gathering aims under the pretext
of selling anything. and a COMMITTEES
amendment intended to exempt from
the terms of the bill children taken by
their parents to such places of amuse-
ment as advertise in newspapers OF
general circulation
Shanahan opposed the clause AGAINST
begging en- the ground that in these
troubled times the children were often
sent to solicit aims for starving fami-
lies. His motion TO amend by striking
out was carried.
Dibble opposed the committee amend
ment incorporated in the bill on the
ground that it would admit children to
the very lowest places. which, by put
ting tifty-Cent advertisement into the
newspapers, could fulfill the law.
Cutter cOntended that no reputable
journal of general circulation would ac-
cept advertisements from such places
as Dibble alluded to.
This assertion greatly stirred Dibble.
who arose and with impressive empha-
sis declared that the San Francisco
daily papers, without exception, are
absolutely reeldng with the advertise
ments of such places and of places
absolutely unfit to be mentioned. He
cared not how he might be criticised
by those journals, he should speak the
truth.
on motion of Dibble, the bill. with
amendments pending, was laid over
until today, keeping it's place on the
file.
GOVERNORS APPROVAL.
The Private Secretary of the Gov
ernor announced that the Executive
had approved A. B. 741, regulating the
salaries of certain officers on the San
Francisco police force.
THE FEE BILL.

minority protested against the increase
made in the House upon the original
estimates recommended by the com
mittee and voted no. but afterward

but explained his vote by saying that
Whlle there was much of the bill of

discretion of the Governor who had the
power to veto such items of the bill as

Unwilling Witnesses Must
Appear To-Day
And Answer the Senate Or Abide
The Consequences.
The Suffrage Amendment Fails TO
Receive Support.
Resolution TO Open Constitutional Doors to
Tax Reform is Adopted in
the House.

There were lively times in the Senate
yesterday. Even old-timers We're eX-
pectant. Everybody knew that the
committee appointed to investigate the
charges of bribe taking, brought by the
Examiner" against the members of
Most persons knew that the report
would be merely a resume of the inves-
tgation up to the time the unwilling
witnesses, members of the "EXami-
ner's" staff, had been placed upon
the stand and declined to answer"
Nearly everybody understood that a
resolution was to follow the report, and
that it would recommend that the I'M
willing Witnesses be brought before the
bar of the Senate and asked to show
cause why they should not be punished
for contempt.
As a matter Of fact, the report was
and adopted, though the number who
desired to drop the matter appeared
to have increased in number. 1t was
announced that a hearing would be
given the parties at 800 o'clock, but
before that hour arrived General Dick
inson explained that owing to the alb
sence of George a. Knight, who would
be on hand at the evening session, the
until the evening session. This was
granted, and as a, result the chamber
was packed from the Presidents chair
TO the gallery when s o'clock arrived.
Then Seawen handed in a telegram
from attorney Knight stating his ina
bility to be present, and asking that the
hearing be postponed until this evening
a similar telegram had also been re-
ceived by Senator Stratton.
Mahoney moved a continuation until
II O'Clock this morning and a brisk
skirmish followed.
Morehouse and Simpson battled
bravely for immediate action, and were
both the recipients of applause, but
their efforts We're unvailing. The
Senate evidently desired the attendance
of George A. Knight, even though the
parties to be arraigned expressed their
willingness, through Seawell, to proceed
without him in case the Senate per-
sisted. The Senate did not persist, and
AIahoney's motion prevailed.
THE ASSEMBLY INVESTIGATION.
The Assembly committee appointed to
investigate the Examiner charges of
bribery in connection with the passage
OF \. b. 273 met in the Supreme Court
room at 2:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon.
Senator Morehouse was the first wit
ness called. After a direct examination
by Mr.. Valentine, Mr. CIunie for the
Examiner" asked if he had received
any telegram in Connection with the bill.
The Senator admitted that he had and

investigation was not so much carried
on to clear the Senate OF the charge
as to humiliate the Examiner" He be-
lieved there was no foundation for the
charges, but was in doubt as to the
materiality of the questions asked the
| witnesses by the committee, and he
proposed to vote against further inves-
tigation in so far as it referred to bring
ing the witnesses before the Senate to
show cause why they should not be
committed for contempt.
Wilmington did not believe the ques-
tions asked the witnesses We're mate
rial to the matter under investigation
He did not believe the charges were
true. The people of the State did not
desire an investigation and at this time
it would not, in his opinion, be advisa-
bic to demand the further prosecution
of such investigation. He proposed tc
vote against the resolution.
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
Morehouse said there was no attempt
to prosecute the Examiner" There
would be time enough to do that
when it was found that it had lied in
its editorial columns"
The resolution was adopted by the
following vote:

II STANDS THE TEST.
Among the Mass of Unworthy Prepar-
ations There is One That stands


Pre-emineut.
1t is a well known fact that a large per-
centage of whiskies upon the market and
in use to-day are simply cheap adultera-
tions They may be called straight
goods" blends" or any other name that
an unscrupulous manufacturer or dealer
chooses. but the fact remains that they
are simply concoctions and aduterations
which are injurious TO any one who uses
them.
In the midst of this mass OF unhealthfui
whiskies there stands one bright eXcep-
ton. 1t has stood out clearly before tho
public for twenty years. Its purity Is guar
anteed by the best physicians in the land.
and il has done more 10 preserve health
than all the other whiskies combined 1t
is DufTy's pure malt whisky. Ii has rep

precisely alike. Its very purity renders 1t
valuable. but 1t possesses in addition there
TO medicinal qualities known to no other
whisky You make no mistake in buying
Duffy's pure malt, but you make an eyre
giOus error if you allow any unscrupulous
dealer for a moment to argue with you
that any one of the cheap adulterated
whiskies that are on the market is as good
as Duffys. 1t is false

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 5.-"MIners'
Day" closed In this city by meeting
on Duquesne wharf, where crowd of
from eight to ten thousand people as
sembled to hear Eugene V. Debs, Mrs,
Jones and several local speakers make
addresses. The speakers were given
hearty reception and the sentiments
expressed were loudly cheered, especial
ly where allusIons were made to the
unrlghteousness OF the suppression of
free speech and Iawful assemblage,
Each orator said the time had arrived
TO call halt on government by injunc-
ton, and declared that the struggle OF
the miners would be conducted peacea-
bly, and lawfully as heretofore, In spite
Of anything any man could say.
1t was learned positively tonight that
Governor Hastings has had men In the
Turtle Creek region for the two weeks
past to keep him posted on the condl-
ton of the strike.
Factory Inspector Campbell has been
the chief lieutenant OF the executive in
this work. Colonels Logan and McCan-
dless. OF the general stan. have also
been over the field, and will make their
report to the governor. It is safe to
say that they will say that the national
guard is not needed at this time
Large delegations OF miners are ex-
pected to arrive at Turtle Creek to-
night and tomorrow for the meet
ing tomorrow evening, which Is
10 be addressed by Eugene Debs. Strike
leaders say the attendance Will be as
large as at the McCrea meeting last
Monday. A delegation OF Yough min
ers arrived this afternoon. They had
walked fifty miles. They say there will
be free steamer on the Monongnhela
tonight to carry miners to McKeesport
from up river points. They will march
from there to Turtle Creek.
The surprise predicted this afternoon
has not as yet been sprung on the min
ers. It is not known whether the inten-
ton is to import colored miners from
Virginia, or an attempt on the part OF
the company to prevent the miners
from meeting or marching. superin-
tendent De Armitt intlmated to-day
that the company would try TO have n
stop put to this practice, and that they
would bring the matter to the attention
OF the courts.

ARMoR PLATE
The Cramps Refuse to ParAISh It at the
Price FlIsd by COnErsas.

WASHINGTON. D, c., Aug 5.--
Charles Cramp. of the ship building
firm of Cramp s. Sons. was at the navy
department to-day, in conference with
acting secretary Roosevelt and Captain
o'NellL chief OF the ordnance bureau to
learn the intention OF the department In
the matter OF procuring armor FOR the
battleshlps now building. The response
OF the Cramps 20 Secretary Longs In
vltation 10 submit proposals for supply
ing such arHlor as they need for the
ships they are building has been delay
ed by the absence from the United
States OF Mr., Charles Cramp. He has
not made answer and as was expected,
declines to undertake the task.
He was not averse, however, TO un-
dertaking TO supply the small quantity
OF diagonal armor. amounting to about
eighty tons for each ship, az the maxi
mum price allowed by Congress-SSOO
per ton-his offer to do this being
based on a desire TO prevent possible
stoppage OF work on the ships owing TO
the lack OF this particular armor, which
must be worked into the hull structure,
Meanwhile the acting secretary Is
proceeding to carry out the direction OF
Congress on the lines laid down by Sec
retary Long. and he has completed the
personnel OF the special board which Is
TO make an investigation OF the cost OF
establishing a government armor plant.
AS announced to-day. the board will
consist OF Commodore Howell, conn
mandant OF the league island navy
yard; Captain Mccormick, Captain OF
the Norfolk navy yards; Chief Engl-
neer Perry, from the Monterey; Civil
Engineer Menocal, from the New York
navy yard: Lieutenant r. r. Fletcher.
from the Torpedo station. with Lieuten-
ant W. /. Chambers from the Minneap-
oils as recorder. This board viii meet
Monday next In the ordnance bureau
here, for organization and to outline the
plan of work. II is not yet even to bo
conjectured how long the inquiry will
last, but from the magnitude OF the
task, and the probability that difficulty
will be encountered in securing the IN
formation as to the cost OF plants and
cost OF production OF armOr, the end
cannot be reached very much earlier
than the assembling OF the next session
of Congress 10 which the results must
be reported.
