SUGAR Inquiry.

/
Inquiry into the present holding Of
Cuban sugar and Cuban lands ordered
by the senate was begun today by. the
sub committee on Cuban relations.
President Henry o. Havemeyer of the
American Sugar Refining Company,
was the first witness.
Replying to questions Havenleyer
said his company was generally known
as the sugar trust. Its reflneries were
located in New Jersey, New York, Mas
sachusetts. Philadelphia end New Orr
leans. The company buys sugar from
all over the world. wherever grown.
The company had purchased $4,000 tons
CT sugar from Cuba this year, the price
ranging from 1.75 to 1893. This repre-
sents the company's entire interest, di-
rect or indirect, in Cuban sugar. Have
meyer said the entire Cuban sugar crop
was about 100000 tons. but that much
had been withheld from the market in
view of possible tariff concessions to be
made by congress. On this account his
purchases had been only about one
third the average of other years. On
this account, too, purchases had been
made principally at outports, where
storage facilities We're poor, rather than
at Havana Purchases from oltports
had caused most Of the shipments to be
made from those ports rather than
from Havana, where the company has
bought $4,000 tons now stored. Pur-
chaseS at outports had caused sales
there to be made on a par with beet
sugar prices.
Speaking of the capacity of his COM

the American refined product. The per-
centage of the company's product com
pared to the entire sugar consumption
of the United States was about SO per
cent, Last year his company produced
100000 tons of refined sugar, while
the consumption was a,4OO,000 tons.
He said the price of raw sugar in the
United States was fixed by the beet
market prices In Hamburg. The price
there fixes the selling price for the en-
tire world. On the subject of the price
of Cuban sugars he said his company
could not determine their price. I'VE
have no control over them whatever.
they don't belong to u.s."
Suppose the United States should
make concession of say 20 or rs per
cen tin tariff rates on Cuban sugar.
couldn't you refuse to buy the Cuban
product, except at your own rates, and
thus secure the benefit of the conces-
SiOn7'
I'm no way Cuba would be under no
oobligatiOn to sell to us because, as /
have said, Cuban producers could fnd
other markets" Witness said the cap
ital stock of the trust had been in
creased in recent years from $4,000. 900
to $90,o00,oo0.
.what was the purpose of your com
pany in this increase?'
"To promote our general corporate
interests. The company never has d.
rectly or indirectly. purchased any
sugar lands, except in Porto Rico. We
did have such purpose there for q
time, but abandoned It"

The Senate,

At the conclusion of routine business
in the senate the resolution offered yes
terday by Culberson. of Texas. calling
for information as to the recent orders
issued in the Philippines was adopted.
The resolution offered by Patterson, OF
Colorado, yesterday, which precipi-
tated two hours debate was then called
up Patterson modified his resolution
SO it requested the president to cause
the secretary of war Immediately to
cable Major Gardner to return to the
United States without delay to give
testimony before the Philippine COM
mittee. Temporarily the resolution was
laid aside and consideration was re-
sumed of the bill providing for pur-
chase of the Rosebud reservation In
South Dakota from the Sioux In
dams.
The democrats in the senate yester-
day accused the republicans of a desire
to suppress the facts as to the situation
in the Philippines. The charge was IN
dignantly repelled by Senator Lodge,
who declared that the republicans de-
sired the fullest information.
Senator Lodge, in denial. declared
that such an attempt would be incon-
ceivably stupid. All parties he insisted
were anxious for the fullest informa-
ton, but he and others contended that
1t would not be advisable to cable to the
Philippines, for Major Gardener would
be here in time to appear before the
committee.
Mr.. Allison said he was satisfied that
Major Gardener would reach Washing
ton long before congress adjourned and
there would be ample time to get his
| testimony in the regular course of
events without calling on the authors
ties to cable him to come at once. Mr..
Tillman indicated his belief that In
formation was being ''smothered and
he demanded to know from Mr.. Lodge
whether he proposed ito dragon the
senate into a vote upon this measure.
Mr.. Lodge replied laughingly that he
wished he could dragoon the senate into
vote on the measure. but Mr.. Tillman
knew he could nothing of the kind.
Mr.. Allison pointed out that nobody OBJ
jected 10 the testimony Of Major Gar
dener. His regiment would leave the
Philippines soon. Mr.. Carmack said
Major Gardener had made II grave ac-
cusation against military conduct in his
province and he believed the accusation
demanded investigation.

RobberY at Sh Q Iii cid.

Some time Sunday North Sheffield hall of the Sheffield Scientific school was broken into and many valuable drawing sets such as students use in their work were stolen. It was stated last night that thirty sets were missing and that there was no clue to the burg lars. Footprints in the snow were dis covered at the rear of the building and they were traced to the tracks of the Northampton division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, which runs through the cut at the rear of the Sheffield buildings on Pros pect street. All trace was lost there, however It is quite apparent that whoever broke into the building ap- preached it from the railroad track, mounted the shed at the rear of the building and got in it through a win dow. The drawing instruments that were taken were valuable the cheapest costing s15. Nothing else was taken from the building although the place was ransacked.

ESIDENT MEETS PRINCE.
Conversation Formal and Had No Po-

Washington, Feb. 24.-Prince Henry of Prussia and his suite, accompanied by the welcoming delegations from both the president and the German embassy, arrived here at 10:20 o'clock this morn ing. promptly on schedule time.
 The official greetings to the prince, while formal, were characterized by simplicity. Secretary Hay, as the head of the cabinet, was the first to extend a greeting. He said to the prince: 'The president requests me, sir, to give you in his name a cordial welcome to Wash ington'
 The prince bowed a response. Secre- tary Long also addressed the visitor nearly in the same terms as Secretary Hay, expressing his pleasure at the meeting The princes response was a brief Thank you"
 The party then proceeded to the White House, The welcome which the prince received from the president this morning was genuinely open handed and hearty, and the prince showed un- mistakable evidence of the pleasure it gave him to meet the president of the American people.
 After the ceremony the following statement was made by Assistant Sec retary Pierce: "The conversation be- tween the president and the prince was of a purely formal nature and had no political significance farther than that contained in the usual general express sion of international amity and good will.'
