Croker and Carroll Will Not BE Reported
For Contempt.
ALBANY, N. ", April 20.-The Mazet
investigating committee has decided to
defer action on the proposition to call
Richard Croker and John F. Carroll be-
fore the bar of the assembly in con-
tempt proceedings.
Frank Moss, chief counsel to the COM
mittee, when asked what course would
be taken in regard to the refusal of Mr..
Croker and Mr.. Carroll to answer ques-
tons, said:
"Mr. Croker could not be criminally
prosecuted for evidence against himself
given by himself-that is, the evidence
could practically not be used against
him. He is protected, not by statute,
but by resolution of the legislature.
That resolution does not, of course, pro-
tect any person from the criminal con-
sequences of perjury before the COM
mittee. I want to say in regard to the
police part of the investigation that the
committee will not draw any political
line, and that it will not make dis
tinction between Republicans and Dem
ocraIs"

CORRECTED DISPATCH.
Omitted Portions of Deweys Cablegram

Omitted Portions of Dewey's Cablegram
Received at the Navy Department.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The navy
department having requested correc-
ton of the portions of Admiral Dewey's
dispatch of Tuesday which were not
decipherable, is able to furnish the full
Next of the dispatch. which is AS follows:
Z J"Yorktown visited Baler, Luzon, east
coast of Luzon, p. l., April IL, for the
purpose of rescuing and bringing away
the Spanish forces consisting of 80 sol
diers, 3 officers and 2 priests, which
were surrounded by 400 insurgents.
Some of the insurgents armed with
Mauser rifles, as reported by natives.
Lieutenant j. G. Gilmore, while making
an examination of the river in an armed
boat was ambushed, fired upon and
captured. Their fate unknown, as in
surgents refused to communicate after
ward"
Believed They VIII BE Well Used.
The officials of the navy department
are confident that such of the men of
the Yorktown as escaped being killed
outright in the first ambuscade will be
well treated by the insurgents. Some
time ago the war department made in
quiry as to the number of American
prisoners held by the Filipinos. In re:
ply General Otis referred to these SOL
diers and said that they were being
fairly treated by the insurgents, he sup
plying funds to defray the cost of their
food. The reports made to the navy de-
partment by Paymaster Wilcox of
:, Dewey's officers, who made trip across
The. island of Luzon from Manila to the
north coast, described the condition of
the Spanish officials who were the pris-
sChers of the insurgents, as very COM
Portable.
In many cases, he said, the officials
were only nominally in confinement,
being allowed the liberty of the towns.
the officials are hopeful that Gilmore
and his men who survived the am
buscade will some day regain their lib
erty.
The department has sent no instruc-
lions to Admiral Dewey as to the course
he shall pursue, believing that he is
fully competent to deal with the situa-
tion and resting secure in the assurance
/ that he will spare no efforts to rescue
Gilmore and his men if they are alive.

ON THE SAME LINES.
Teller and Shaforth Give Their Views Rs
to the Next Campaign.


DENVER, April 2O.--United States Sen
ator Henry M. Teller, and Congressman
John M. Shafroth, in published state
ments, emphatically declare in favor of
maintaining the Silver Republican or
ganization. not only in Colorado, but
throughout the union. They say that
the silver question will be the para
mount issue in 1900
Mr.. Teller says that the Gold Demo
Gratis will not be able to control the
Democratic convention, and that. as in
1896, they will support the Republican
candidate. He says that the Demo-
cratic convention will reaffirm the plat
form of 1896, and that the party must
and will be allied with the Silver Re-
publican party a nd the Peoples party,
both of which m ust maintain their or
CARNATIONS and lie nd all their aid to win
a victory in the battle of 1900.
81 cannot conceive of political sit
uation that will induce me to favor
union with the Mckinley Republicans, I"
said Senator Teller. 1.-The Republican
financial system is one fraught with
danger to the country and one well cal
culated to make the rich richer and the
poor poorer. The Republican party
favors large standing army in time of
peace, of not less than 100000 men, at
an expense of not less than $125, 000.0 900
to $3.50, 900, 900 per annum. 1t is its pur
pose also to increase this army in pro-
portion as the population of the country
shall increase.
"The Republican party is so thor
oughly dominated by trusts. syndicates
and com bines that have no hope of re-
lief in that quarter. l thoroughly be-
ieve that the continued administration
of the government by the Republican
party as now controlled, threatens the
very existence of free government"
Mr.. Teller expresses no preference as
to candidates, but Mr.. Shafroth sug-
gests the nomination of Bryan and
Towne. He says there is a complete
Silver Republican organization in 80
states, and that at least that number
will be represented in the national con-

Minnesota Legisi ative Grain Investigating
Committee Ma&es Its Report.
ST. PAUL, April 1S.-The joint senate
and house committee appointed Jan. :
to investigate charges OF corruption al,3
favoritism in the gl.in inspection de-
partment has submitted it, report 10
both houses.
The committee finds tho following
from the evidence produced:
/. That the grading Of wheat has
not been Uniform; that prior to the
month of October, the new crop of
wheat had not been graded solely on lis
merits, it being the policy of the in
spection department to give lower
grades than later.
2. That the system of appeal from
the inspectors decision is impracticab-o
and of little benefit.
8. That it appears that some Of the
inspectors have been incompetent or
careless.
a. That the weighing of the grain at
the terminals is carried on In loose
manner.
20. That the farmers suffer a heavy
loss by shipping uncleaned wheat, and
by loading wheat into dirty and unsweps
Ears.
No reasons have been produced by
She department of inspection in the te50
timony taken before your committee,
30 convince this committee that the
system in vogue III the department can
result in anything but dead loss TO the
producer and must necessarily be to the
advantage of the buyer.
