The verdict In the Dumprops Case.

Emporia, Kan, May 16.-James
Henry Dumprope was yesterday
found guilty of manslaughter in the
third degree. The jury was out but
four hours when they returned with
the verdict. 1t was generally sup
posed that Dumprope had foully muir
dered his companion, George Crow
ley, for $22 while the two were driv-
Ing from Emporia to Council Grove
and the state charge against him was
murder in the first degree. But the
only evidence against him was his
own story and strong point in his
favor was the fact that the killing
was done on a much travelled road
In daytime. The defense was that
the killing was done Internationally
and in self-defense.

TESTIMONY ON SUGAR DUTIES


Washington, May 2o.-George R.
Mosle, a sugar broker, testified be-
fore the committee on relations with
Cuba yesterday that Mr.. Havemeyer
was not interested in certain planta-
tons in Cuba. as had been alleged.
He said there was about 100000 tons
of sugar stored in Cuba now. The
Cubans, he said believed concessions
would be made and accepted ~
Platt amendment on that account.
Mr.. Mosle said his firm was sell
ing agent for the sugar trust. When
he asserted that the Cubans had dis
continued work because many Of the
people did not have the money with
which to go on, Senator Teller asked:
"Will you tell me any firm in Cuba
that has suspended operations and
has not ground its crop?" II cannot"
mo, nor anybody else," remarked
Mr.. Teller.
John Farr, a sugar dealer, contra
dicted statements made by Mr..
Leavitt, as to the countervailing
duty, saying Cuba got all the benefit
OF it, as did other cane sugar pro-
ducing countries. He said if the
present low price Of sugar continued
the production in Cuba would be
much less. In Jamaica, he said, Al
estates had failed last week; in San
Domingo the growers are in the
tbroes Of possible bankruptcy,
while in Demarra the estates prob
ably will last year or two.

M'KINLEY EULOCIzED
Senator Deliver Paid a Beautiful
Tribute to the Late President
The HOUSE PASSED The NAVAL BILL


Washington, May 2O.-Only a brief
time was devoted by the senate yes
terday to consideration of the Phil
ippine government bill. Senator Dol
liver, of Iowa, supported the bill,
which he said was one Of the most
important pieces Of constructive leg
islation since the civil war. lie paid
beautiful tribute to the late Presi-
dent Mckinley and his policy in the
Philippines, saying that in McKinleys
policy there was not note Of greed
or covetousness. lie (Dolliver) had
found 1t difficult, as he had heard
the terms thieves" murderer"
and carpetbaggers" flung recklessly
from the lips of democratic states
men, to determine just where he was,
whether he really was in the senate
Of the United States. William Nc
Kinley had put the seal Of his ap-
proval on the holding Of the Philip
pines by the United States in trust
for their inhabitants. And, he said,
the action Of Mckinley was pregnant
with greatness and humanity. He
said the Philippine insurrection as q
military proposition was thing Of
the past. Practically nothing Of the
insurrection had been left for a
year."
Senator Warren then presented the
conference report ON the omnibus
claims bill. As passed BY the house
the bill aggregated $213,1os. The net
increase made by the senate was 49,.
92s,252. The conference report shows
that the house had agreed to 81, 4O5,-
sss Of the amount added BY the sen.
ate, 10 that the amount carried by
the measure agreed to IL $1,61s, 40s.
Senator Warren explained that the
Selfridge board claims had been
omitted from the bill, the house re.
fusing to agree to them. Senator
Hoar declared that It was just az
dlsreputable on the part Of great
and rich government like the United
States to refuse to pay these claims
a. 1t would be for him or any other
senator to refuse to pay for house
he had ordered built. The conference
report was agreed to.
Senators Perkins, Warren and Till
man were appointed conferees on the
Notifications appropriation bill.
Before adjournment yesterday the
house passed the naval appropriation
bill. The feature of the debate was
on the amendment offered by Mr..
Roberts, of Massachusetts, providing
that three of the ships provided for
in the bill--a battleship, a cruiser
and a gunboat--shall be built in gov
eminent yards. Mr.. Adams, Of Penn
sylvania, made a point of order
against the amendment, which Mr..
Sherman sustained, but on an APP
peal by Mr.. Roberts the chair was
and the amendment was
agreed to, Under a suspension OF
the rules the bill for eight hours
work on all government contracts
was passed, also a bill authorizing
the construction of national sani-
tarium for disabled soldiers at Hot
Springs, S. D.
