the knowledge, that so many forms of

the Prosecution.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The gov
ernment rested it's case against Henry
O. Havemeyer, the president of the
American Sugar Refining company,
shortly after the noon recess today.
Thereupon Mr. Johnson, of Philadel-
phia, the leading counsel for the de-
fense, moved that the judge instruct
the Jury to find the defendant not
guilty on six grounds: That the ques-
ton as to the local and state contribu-
tions of the sugar company was be-
yond the Jurisdiction Of the senate COM
mittee and impertinent; that it was
not part of Mr.. Havemeyer's duty to
examine records for the purpose Of an
swering questions he could not answer
from memory; that when data from
books or records are demanded, SUCH
books or records are the best evidence;
that the question put to the witness
was too broad, covering irrelevant mat
ters: that If the witness were to be
held recusant 1t was the duty of the
committee to warn him that the ques-
ton was a committee. not an individual
question; and that the indictment did
not disclose cause Of action.
Mr.. johnson made an argument of an
hour and half in support OF his
motion and when he concluded Dis
trict Attorney Davis asked for an adj
journment, which was granted. Mr..
Davis will reply to the motion tomor-
row.

ernment offered at the morning ses-
sion was not very important District

Attorney Davis re-offered in evidence
the extract of the senate journal, show
Ing the recreancy of Mr.. Havemeyer,
to which the defense objected, unless
the other journals showing the whole
action of the senate upon the case be
admitted. Judge Bradley agreed to adj
NIT all relevant extracts from the sen-
ate journals, and thereupon Mr.. john
son withdrew his objection. According
ly the extracts showing the three re-
ports Of the committee to the senate
and detailing the facts of Mr.. Have
meyers contumacy were admitted.
Mr.. Johnson objected to the printed re-
port of the committee as evidence, and
q long legal debate followed on this
point The government strenuously In
sisted that it was admissible as an
official senate report. Mr.. Davis said
he was driven to the necessity of offer
ing this document as evidence because
the original StenOgraphtc notes OF Mr..
Havemeyer's testimony had been lost.
The defense offered to admit the whole
printed record but objected to the exA
tract relating to Mr.. Havemeyer's tes-
timony. The court said that If the
contention Of the government was cor
rect. then the whole record was evi-
dence and much time of the court had
thus been wasted. He convulsed the
court room by his sarcastic reference
to the sanctity' with which the dis
trict attorney had clothed the senate.
In Apostolic days, he said, clothes
taken from the bodies Of the Apostles
were supposed to have had healing
virtues, and even the rags that subse-
duently came in contact with them,

More Fighting in Prospect.
Both Turkey Greece Preparing for a Renewal of
the War in Thessaly

LONDON, May 27.-The Athens cor
respondent of the Times says: 1t Is
believed that complications have arisen.
owing to the advocacy by some Of the
powers including Russia, of a Turkish
occupation Of Thessaly until the in
demnity is paid, and to England's firm
resistance to such project. The Greek
government Is preparing for probable
renewal of the war.
A dispatch to the Times from La
rissa says the impression is general
among the Turkish troops that there
will be more fighting.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Vienna says that the turkish govern
ment has mobilized $4,000 additional
troops who are now in readiness to
advance into Thessalys and that the
government is making active prepara-
tions for q Turkish administration of
the province.
The correspondent Of the Standard
at Constantinople says. The council
Of ministers has decided to prolong
the armistice. It will refuse even to
discuss the retrocession Of Thessaly
but will leave the other points for con-
sideration to the powers. So far as the
note to the European arbitrators is
concerned there can be no doubt that,
whether the sultan is only bluff1ng or
is the victim Of popular pressure a
peace such as Europe. expects cannot
be arranged without risk Of the grav-
est complications.
"The grand vizier on Saturday pre-
sented report to the sultan, urging
that the whole of Islam was fully de-
termined to retain Thessaly, adding:

you firmly refused to be dictated to
by Europe. Therefore you should be

Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Chandler has prepared the following
amendment to the tariff bill, which he
proposes to add to the antitrust
amendment proposed by Senator Pet
tigrew yesterday:
The act to protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and monopolies,
approved July 2, 1890, shall apply to ali cam
pan1es, corporations and persons engaged as
common carriers in the business of trans
porting persons or property, and all the pen
alties imposed and methods of restraint pro-
vided by said act shall take effect and be in
force against such companies, corporations
and persons, and any contract between any
two or more of them for the fixing of rates
of transportation by the order or on the rec
ommendation of representatives designated on
behalf OF the various parties to such contract,
or by the order or on the recommendation
of a majority Of such representatives or for
the maintenance of the rates Of transporta-
ton once fixed, or for the enforcement of
any such contract by fines or penalties inn
posed upon any of the parties thereto, shall
constitute an offense under said act Of July
2, 1890.
Mr. Chandler says that If the pooling
bill now pending in the committee on
interstate commerce is reported and
put through at session intended for
tariff legislation only, the provisions Of
fered by Senator Pettigrew and the
amendment offered by himself will be
placed on the tariff bill by votes Of
Democrats, Populists and Silver Repub-
licans, and be retained as part of the
bill. The intent Of the amendment is
to prevent a pooling bill or nullify any
action that may be taken toward pass
ing pooling bill.

PARIS, May 26.-President Faure
formally received the new United

ter, today. Shortly before 5 o'clock a
squadron Of currassiers with three
carriages, one of them containing NJ
Crozier, the director Of the protocol,
and M. Mollard, the introducer of am
bassadors, drove up to the house in
the Rue de Madrid where Gen. Porter
is residing as the guest of Gen. Wins
low, to escort the United States am
bassador to the Elysee palace. On ar
irving, the municipal band played the
"Marsellaise' and the guard on duty
presented arms. Gen. Porter alight-
ed at the entrance and was conducted
by M. Crozier to the grand salon,
where he was Immediately introduced
to President Faure.
Gen. Porter, in presenting his Gre
dentials, said in French: Monsieur
lie President: have the honor to pre-
sent you with letter crediting me
minister extraordinary and plenipoten-
tiary Of the United States Of America.
1t is a source Of extreme qualification
to me to be permitted to represent the
chief republic of the new world at the
seat of government Of the chief re-
public of the old world. I have been
charged with the very agreeable duty
of conveying to you the cordial good
wishes of the eminent citizen recently
inaugurated chief magistrate Of the
United States Of America, and to as
sure you Of the profound regard he
entertains for you personally and of
the high esteem in which he holds the
people of France. The similarity Of
the forms of government of our re-
spective countries. the belief enter
tained by both in liberal political in
stitutions, and the deep interest felt
by each in the freedom, rights and
welfare Of its citizens, have created be-
tween our people enduring bonds of
sympathy. The alliance entered into
by both countries when the American
republic was In its infancy, the blood
