Colonel Bryan's Opinion of State
ments of Havemeyer.

VI
Chicago, June 15.-Colonel William ].
Bryan. who was in Chicago today. said.
concerning the statements of President
Havemeyer of the American Sugar Re
filming company before the Industrial
commission:
We will find out lot about these
combinations before we get through
with them. Here is Havemeyer. who
has made millions through the agency
of combinations. saying these things
which are invariably inimical to labor
he could not live We're ii not for the
high protective duties. Now, these du-
ties were put here by the Republicans
when they got in power. and they will
remain as long as the Republicans stay
IN power. But the fight next year will
not be made on the trusts. which will
constitute purely, or comparatively
collateral issue; the high tariff duties
and the consequent combinations which
follow in their wake are the result of
the victory in 1896 over the money of
the people, as against the money of the
men who manage the trusts
of course, just as Mr. Havemeyer
says. the people are plundered through
the tariff laws but we must go back
of the tariff If we want to find where
the real reason lies. This sugar trust
ma 5hote mas NOT Sdld anything that
has not been said scores of times be-
fore, but never by so prominent an adj
vocate of trusts. Mr.. Havemeyer has
some object in view in making this
statement, but what it is, of course I
cannot say.
These men of millions never waste
words any more than they throw away
dollars; every move is calculated: they
say and do things for the effect they
VIII have; they do not talk idly, for
they are busy men; therefore. what
was Mr.. Havemeyer's object in making
the declara tons he did? We will have
to wait for that"

CHIEF HILToN'S ACTION OF DIS
MISSAL REVIEWED.
Story of How ''McGinty7 Planned
With a Pawnbroker to Recover a
Stolen Overcoat.

It looked very much to the city council
committee on fire and police last even
ing, after reviewing the action of Chief
of Police Hilton in dismissing Patrolman
Siegfus from the force for alleged mis-
conduct with reference to the recovery
of a valuable fur overcOat stolen from 4
Mr.. Hopkins. that the case had many
peculiarities. some of which tended TO
show the good intentions Of the accused
officer. But the hearing was not c0nclud-
ed and an adjournment was taken till
Saturday afternoon at O'clock in the
cLleI Office, TO hear the evidence of De-
teCtiVe Sheets. Sergeant Smith and Pa
trOlmau Davies. Mr.. Hopkins is out of
town and is not expected to return for
two weeks.
Chief Hilton related to the committee
the circumstance OF himself and DelectiVe
Sheets finding the stolen OvercOat in
JOSlue ShaplrO'S paWnShOp before Sieg-
fus had tolG the chief he believed he knew
where he could ind it, The chief also
stated that MIR. Hopkins had complained
TO him that a guy dressed up. as a
policeman and wearing No on mis- he'll
met, but whom he believed TO be TOO raw
for q genuine policeman" came to the
coats owner with the information thaI
he thought he could recover the fur gar
ment upon hopkins putting up Sl5.
Chief Hilton gave -McGinty'' a good
character as a trustworthy. efficient po-
iceman until this OffenSe.
Sergeant Janney stated that the dis
missed policeman had told him he thought
he had located Hopkins overcoat and
that he expected TO get something for the
extra time he had given 10 sleuthing for
it
Shapiro, who does not understand Eng
lish very WELL said he had been advised
by Siegfus TO buy the coat if offered in

Hopkins with the information that his
coat could be recovered by paying SIS 10

the owner would willingly pay that much
for il. He confessed that he was rather
raw in his actions, but his intentions
were honest

BIG STEAMSHIP LINE.
To Be Established Between Calves
On and Foreign Ports.

st. Louis. June 15-Testimony before
the interstate commerce commission
relative to shipping rates, both domes-
TIC and foreign, was begun here today
with representatives of nearly every
railroad company in the south and
west present, as well as officials of the
Kansas City and Chicago boards of
trade. The most important feature of
the session was the statement of T. \.
Drew. general freight agent of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas * Texas railroad, to the
effect that negotiations are now in
progress for the establishment of an
Immense line of steamers to run be-
tween Galveston and all foreign ports.
The statement was brought out under
questioning by James Haggeman, So
licitor of the Katy" road, who con-
tended that under the present arrange
ments the cOmpany's foreign export
business was not conducted at
profit.

A party of Chicago & Northwestern
officials, consisting of NJ. Hughitt, jr.,
general freight agent: T. S. Rattle. as
sistant general freight agent, and C.
a. Cairns, assistant general passenger
and ticket agent, win reach Salt Lake
today. They come to look into the mat
ter of getting new office for the COM
pany in this city and incidentally to
look over the railway situation in gen.
eral Where the new office will be can
not be stated and it is just possible
that the old office will be remodeled and
refurnished- The location of the pres
ent office is one of the best in the city,
but the office itself is altogether too
unsightly for such big road.

!. Ice was represented on the bench by
Two judges of the very highest posi-
ton IL was great honor for himself
and his colleagues to address such q
tribunal. The speaker then paid a
tribute to Professor Martens, whose
reputation was international, and said:
Il shall probably have to say much
with which my friends disagree, but I
am sure they viii extend to us the
courtesy of forbearance for which we
desire 10 extend to them, and which is
customary between counsel in these
cases"
Continuing. Sir Richard said he only
intended to touch today upon the gem
eral topics underlying the whole dis
cuSsion, and proceeded TO give a brief
geographical and historical review of
the whole question, going back to the
time of Columbus. In the course of his
remarks he said he regarded the treaty
of Munster as a most important mat
ter for the tribunal, as Great Britain
claims Spain was not entitled to claim
the whole of the western world in view
Of the fact that she was established in
the POSITION of the Dutch. He presumed
American counsel took an utterly diff
fcrent view of the construction of both
the Munster and Utrechts treaties, and
thought the arguments advanced by
American counsel were not character
lied by that breadth which might be
expected from such eminent counsel
Claims a Contract.
The representative of Great Britain
then took up the terms of the treaty
of arbitration, and laid great stress on
the British contention that there is a
contract between Venezuela and Great
Britain, and not between the Spaniards
and the Dutch. The tribunal. he con-
tended, had TO decide the boundary be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana at
the present time, and not between the
Spaniards ana Dutch in 1914
Counsel then said that in order to
clear up any misunderstanding he an
nounced that Great Britain recognizes
Venezuela as the successor of Spain.
and he submitted that the boundary as
il might have been settled in 1914 was
not the same as ought to be defined
today.
Sir Richard Webster spoke in a clear
voice, and the arbitrators and counsel
followed his speech closely, making
notes and occasionally asking him to
clear UP a doubtful point

SITUATION AT NEW RICHMOND.
Are Now Seventy-five Newly-made
Graves,

St. Paul, June ia New Richmond
special to the Dispatch says:
The situation here is still gloomy,
and the suffering great, but much is
being done for relief. The scenes at
the cemetery today will never be for
gotten. Seventy-five new made graves
may already be counted in the Protest
ant and Catholic cemeteries on the
south and cast limits of the town. The
cold. damp weather has added i'm
measurably to the suffering. scarcely a
house in the city has a whole pane of
glass. The whirlwind broke those win
dows that escaped the flying missiles.
As a consequence it is almost impos-
Sible to make the nights bearable
Added TO this suffering from cold the
crowded condition of every building
left in the town. and the wonder is
that hundreds of the older people do
not perish of sickness and exposure.
The vaults of both banks which We're
wrecked have been opened and every
thing inside is perfectly preserved.

STRIKERS ARE ORDERLY.
No Demonstration On Part of the
Redding Miners.

Redding, Cal, June 1.-THE striking
miners are very orderly, and no dem
onstrations beyond a parade of the
strikers took place today. The miners
swear that they will not return to work
in the mines until the wage scale sub
mitted by them is adopted, but the
company says that it will commence
work tomorrow or next day. AS there
are few miners here outside of the
strikers it will be impossible to open
the mines unless the old men are taken
back.
An agent of the Wardner Qdaho)
mines arrived here today, and is Offer
ing free transportation and $3.50 a day
to miners TO go to the Wardner mines
1t is hardly probable that he will be
successful in his quest, as the miners
here fear that the trouble at Wardner
is not over.
