FIGHTING CRISPI.
His Political Enemies Determined to
Break Him Up.


London, Feb. 'G.-Most people know
that the Italian cN. premier, Signor Crispi
is u good hater, and that il was not his
custom when in power to spare his real
nor fancied enemies. The latter have had
their turn and though their inning has
been IL long one they are far from tired
OF the sport of batting the old lion.
They destroyed, apparently forever,
Signor Crispi's political influence and
ruined his private fortunes. They 3have
driven his son into dishonorablc exile and
they have dragged his daughters honor
in the mirc, and still their thirst Tor ven
yeance is not quenchcd.
The judicial inquiry into he..scemingly
eternal "hnaucal scandals have been
extended to include an investigation of
the affairs of the defunct newspaper
Reforma, ana its former editors. mana
gers, compositors and printers have been
searchingly examined in the hope of com
promising Crispi.
One of the managers of the Reforma
was..Crispi's nephew, Signor Parlamenghi
and he has come out of the inquiry with
il very bcdragyled appearance.
Now it is propoScdt O cite Madame Lima
Crisp before the examining Justices to
explain certan.tems of her private. bank
ing account, which It had been discovered
She had with the Bank OF Como.

200, 700, making n total change in these
two items of SS,S30, 600, which cores
pond closely with the loan expansion.
1t is noticeable that the circulation of the
banks shrunk last week $l.32I 900, bring
ing the total circulation down to SIG, 49,
000, Il decrease of nearly or quite $1,000,
600.
As this circulation has been retired
largely within the past -four weeks, the
decrease i'll cash holdings may be due, in
part. To the deposit of iegals with the
Treasury to retire the bank notes. The
rcccints of currency for the past week
have been small, and the decrease of ST.
GOO, 200 in the available cash held by the
BANKS makes the question of ratio for
money an interesting one. 1t does not
seem probable that current decrease will
have anything like Il permanent intl hence
on the rates, the outcome depending
largely on the disposition of funds now
withdrawn.
Cash reserve is still $l96. 80, 800. and
the excess reserve $ji, 5iC, 2j0, which does
not Indicate either II pressing demand for
money or an incentive to higher rates.

Mr.. Searcs WAS on his way to take n
train for Washington when he was served
with subpoenas. lie said Mr.. Searlcs
would appear on Monday next and bring
the required data.
John Arbuckle was then recalled to
the stand. He informed the committee
that he wished to make Il statement.
| lie told the committee that profits from
coffee in 1896 was only Sd of cent Il
! pound, III 1898, Il little less than 6 10 of
cent. in 1881. $40 of IL cent, and in
1893 little less than 6-10 of Il cent.
'"There is no profit in the coffee bust
ness Tor us now, and l should say the
| Ilavemeycrs must he losing from $500 to
81 600 n day i'll their business
The witness said he believed that if his
company stopped building the sugar re-
| fincry, that the 1lavemeyers would go out
of the coffee business to morrow.
III. O. cmcyer was OH hand when
, the committee rcassemblcd after recess
He was recalled, and in reply to /, qucs-
tion denied that there WAS any sugar re-
iinerics closed after the consolidation in
1891.
Il think my brother was in error when
he said that some of the reiincries were
closed after the consolidation in 1891
The witness said that about six reiin-
cries were tlosed previous to the console
itlation. There were about 5000 men
! employed in them.
Were the four Philadelphia reGncrics
secured rs the trust. closeds'
NO, sir, they are running now"
is it true thai after the organization
Of the sugar trust you discharged 1000
men, Of whom only II few were re-. EN-.
ployed;'
THAT is absolutely false; we never en-
ploycd 200 men in the State Of New
York
In reply to question the witness idcn-
Ifed the copy of Il deed drawn up ut the
organization of the sugar trust. This
was put in evidence. Mr. Havemeyer
gave Il lot of figures showing that the
price of eugar was reduced 10 cents per
hundred pounds since the formation of
the trust.
John Bergen, the next witness, said he
wa, employed as foreman on the docks
of the American sugar refinery up to
1892, when he was discharged. Between
five and six hundred men were dis
charged. The witness said ut the time of
the organization of the sugar trust in
1887 Il great number of men were dis
charged.
About how many"
"Abont 5000 or 1000"
Mr. Havemeyer, who was sitting near

ment and said: THAT man is bigger
