SANDY Hook, N. j., March 24.-Capt.
Mulllgan Of the life-saving station at
monmouth beach, reports that the schoon-
or Emily Z. johnson from Baltimore for
Gam bridge, MASS, with cargo of oyster
smells, came ashore near Sea Bright
last night curing the fog, where she still
remains pounding heavily with the pros
pect of becoming total wreck. Some
OF the crew managed to get ashore with
out assistance. The remainder were TAX
en- on by the breeches buoy, all are COM
fortably housed in the station.
Washington e. Connor, the New York
broker, has house right on the coast at
Sea Bright, and it was ON his premises
that the schooner WAS driven as hore In
heavy gale A telephone message from
Sam Bright to the Merritt Wrecking
Company carried the news TO New York,
and tug was dispatched to the scene
of the wreck.
Mr.. Connor's servants wera tho first
to be aware Of what had happened in

savers of the village. The surf men
turned out in full force
In the ftful CLEAN of the rockets by
which the life-savers sought to throw
line ovar the deck of the schooner the
crew could be seen clinging to the
shrouds, waving their arms with frenzied
gestures toward the shore. Huge waves
were dashing over the deck and threaten

from the rigging. After several at

SUGAR TRUST INVESTIGATION.
A Case Before Supreme Court RecalI
Hearing Before Senate.

Washington. March a. THE case
against Elverton r. Chapman the New
York stock broker, convicted of viola.
| tion of section 102 revised statutes. which
makes 1t misdeamor for witness sum-
moGed before q committee of Congress
torefuss to answ or questions propounded
to him, reached u hearing In the United
States supreme court today. His alleged
rscusancy was committed in connection
| with the Investigation by the Senate of
the alleged sugar trust scandal at the
time Of the consideration of tho tariff bill
in 1894. He has applied to the supreme
court for discharge from custody un-
der that conviction, on a writ of habeas
| corpus.
The case was argued for the petitioner
BY ex-senator George B. Edmunds and
sx-Judge Dittenhoefer and for the gov.
ernment BY Solicitor General Conrad.
The contention Of counsel for the pe-
titioner was three fold: "a That the
law under which the conviction was
had is unconstitutional in that it seems
to make refusal to testify before COM
mtttee of Congress as contempt of the
authority Of the body ordering inquiry
to be made, (2) That the law is uncnn-
stitutional for the reason that Congress
cannot impose on nor commit to, the
judicial branch of the government pun
! ishment for contempt of Its dignity or
authority. (3) That the law is unoonsti-
tutional, for the reason that by the fifth
amendment to the constitution, no per-
sons shall be subject for the same offense
70 be tiwoe pat in jeopardy Of life or
limb.
Up the second proposition, in answer
by Justice Gray, Mr.. Edmunds said
that when Congress touched on the indi-
vidual citizen the ultimate decision as to
whether 1t was rightly or wrongly exsr-
cising Its power, must be with the su-
prame court of the United States. Against
the contention of Messrs. Ed
ioitor General Conrad asserted
that full power of Congress to do
| just exactly what lad been done In this
case. The counsel for the petitioner, he
said, confoundsd the acts with offence.
1t was easy to conceive commission of
a single aot might and should subject
him to punishment for two or more sepa-
| rate offences.
In this case, be said Chapman had not
been charged with contempt Of the Sen
ate nor convicted of it. He had been con-
victed of a misdemeanor committed as
the indictment said against the peace
and dignity of the United States 1t was
entirely competent, Mr.. Conrad asserted,
for Congress to define the act Of the Pc
titioner as an offence and provide for it's
punishment by judicial power.
