Theodore A. Havemeyer, vice presi-
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
tous companies that were absorbed in
1891, without a reference to the books:
that was a matter which Mr. Searles
would probably be able to inform
the committee. The question was then
put to the witness:

sugar Ref1neries company transact any
business save sugar refining?"
I think not" replied Mr.. Havemeyer.

In reply to another question, Mr..
Havemeyer said that the American
Sugar Refneries company produced
from 70 to rs per cent of the sugar
manufactured in the United States.

ley's private secretary, is the Original Nc
Kinley man" of Connecticut Mr.. Porter is
Republican of the Republicans. He will
return to Canton within two weeks and &C
company Maj. Mckinley to Washington. Mr..
Porter, it is aid, was warmly backed by
Gov. Buckley, of Connecticut, but apart from
that influence he is admirably fitted for the
position. At least that is the opinion of
his friends here who know him best, and
who are best able to judge. Mr.. Porter has
been the editor of the Hartford Post for
nearly ten years, and is not new to politics.
Forty-one years Of age, he Is in the very
prime of manhood. Not long ago his pop
ularfty and his ability marked him for politi-

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 Marshall Won Bieberstein, who was
one OF the persons libeled by Baron Won Luet-
Zow, and who at his trial developed unexpect-
edly from 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 SPECIALIZED 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

Pine Land Compromise.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5-Congressman Eddy
believes that the interior department. will
make compromise upon recent sales of
Chippewa pine, and that purchasers will be
allowed to c'rt timber and pay for it at land
ing scale instead Of upon tho basis Of esti-
mates Of inspectors which are charged to be
grossly inadequate. AS several purchasers of
this pine have spent thousands of dollars
preparing to TRANSPORT it to market, Mr. Eddy
believes it would be unjust to cancel their
purchases without giving them any mode of
redress.

lance in 2:05 20, but fraction behind the
record for the track made by the redoubt-

then being five pounds less than now. AS
