URATOS BB1CK PUMFKD.
Senator Gray read to Mr. Brice the
statement of Correspondent Edwards
In the Philadelphia Press, alleging that
Senator Price was a speculator in
sngar stocks and then put mis ques
tion :
I ask you, senator, whether tbat state
ment, which means to impute that, you
end others have been enableil to accumu
late wraith upon the probitblo course of
legislation, is true, and to state what you
have to say in regard to it?
before 0T since entering the senate?
asked .:r. Brice.
Siuce entering the senate.
"Butt nay as well answer as to the
whole time before or since, "said the Ohio
senator, "I have never been coucerm d in
any speculations or Investment, of inter
ested in thotn. the result eif which depend
ed Upon legislation in OOngreSI or olse
W In re. Since entering the senate I have
not been roOcerned in nny way, diiectly
or Indirectly, In nny property, sec initios,
stocks, Investments, or speculations in
anything that is mentioned In the tariff
hill from the first line to the end of
l ho free list, with the ezcepllon
ot some local manufacturing establlih
nunta In Lima and adjoining towns in
Ohio. Nor have t sought to accumulate
Wealth in any way by investment or spec
ulation since 1 entered the seuate, in any
of tliu things which I have mentioned. In
other words, my investments and the
things which I am concerned in are not
connected with or nlfected by the opera
tions of the tariff act exsept as t ho general
property of the country is. There is no
truth whatever In it ns far as I am con
cerned. I was never present at nny Conference
or meeting where any such subject was
discussed. I was at the Arlington hotel
on the evening of the Till of March last,
at the room ot H. L. Terrell, of New
York (for the past BO years one of my most
intimate friends). I calieii at .Mr. Terrell's
roein for the purpose df meeting him am! a
common friend, a New York lawyer in
terested in railway matters, and not con
cerned with or Interested in the tariff bill
in any way. Ve sp-nt perhaps an hour,
or an hour and a hull without any other
person being present. Mr. Terrell said
tbat Henry fiaveraeyer was i the hotel.
1 requested that he send for Mr. Have
meyer, that I might get .Mr. Bavomeyer's
statement, preuinlug him to be tne bost
informed mm in the country on that sub
ject, lie came, and after few minutes'
talk on the subject I raid to Mr. liavc
meyer that there was strong feeling
acainst a tnx on sugar, and against anv
additional tax on refined sugar, and that I
had great doubt whether the senate and
the liou-o would not put SUger, both raw
and refined, on the free list.
MU bavbueyrr's OPINIONS,
Mr. M.ivomover became pretty onru
est, and while I do not recollect his exaot
words, be attacked the policy of the Dem
ocratic majority in the senate and house
St being destructive of the manufacturing
interests of the country. This I res-ntcd
and said to hi in that while 1 was from a
stHte, which iu my judgment favored free
sugar, both raw and refined, and had no
manufacturing sngar interest in it I would
do what was fair and right, if he and other
refiners could satisfy me what that was,
but in no event would i concede in re than
half the differential In lavor of refined
sugar allowed by existing or McKinlcy law,
that I was incliuod to believe that there
was tome protection to the refiners in an
td Valorem .schedule. He Stated that there
was absolutely none und tho di-cussion
continued for a little while on that point
At this tiio Senator Smith, (.Vow Jersey),
who had been informed at my house that
1 had gone to call on Mr. Terrell, camo
into the room. No talk on sugar, how
ever, or on tho sugar schedule occurred
after he camo in, except that 1 think Mr.
Havemeyer made some reference to the
fact that he and I had been having an ex
cite! discussion or a difference or a
wrangle.
Senator Gray rend the Statement in
the Philadelphia Prer.s that Senator
Price ha I procured a cony of the 400
amendments to the tariiT before they
w. re reported from the finance com
lust tue und turmid them over to bis
broken.
Did yon furnish, or procure to bo furn
ished, such list ot amendments? ho asked,
Senator Price I did not. I may say that
I never saw the amendments or knew any
thing about them personally, either by m
speulion or by healing, until they were re
por'ed to the Bu iute except one or two
amendments.
INNOCENCE UNil'Olt.ULY PItOTF.STGU
Theodore A. Havemeyer denied that
he had ever been present on H. 0. Pen
edict's yacht ( is charged in the Piiii
delpbia Press) in the summer of 1893,
ana dilcassed sugar interests with Mr.
Cleveland pt takiug f ttt in nny such
discussion at Greenwich, Conn. He
had not been in Washington for seven
teen months, perhaps two years, and
therefore did not know unything about
Ibe conferences between sugar trust
men and senators. The sugar trust,
of which he is vice president, had not
made any contributions to itonreof de
feat legislation, but be thoutrht it had
made contributions to politic il parties
in state campaigns, he knew it bail not
in national issues. Witness did not
kuow of any speculations made
by any senator, directly or in
directly, and be had nevor ceil
ed on any senator for infor
mation ns to tho value of sugar stocks,
nor given them pointers, nor received
any information from a senator about
tho pending tariff bill. Senators
Chandler, O ill. Carey, Cullum and
Cole all testified in turn, answering
fully and without evasion, every ques
tion from mem tiers of the committee.
Tne gist of their replies was to the ef
fect that they iu no way had relations
with tho tugar trust directly or indi
recti y.
Senator Iiill was examined, Mr.
Hill's testimony went to show that the
only conversation hold at Senator
Brice's house when he wss present was
a general discussion of the tariff bill
and there were present on that occasion
Senators Brice, Gorman, White, Jnf
frey and Murphy. No agreement Was
readied and the discussion w,s aweary
one.

IBB atlKBN GOODS IIUSINES4
Of all tho immemo volume of testi
mony taken by tUu committee, that of
George Appo, tho half-breed Japanese
given yesterday in relation to the green
goods business and tho manner in
which it is completed, was by far the
most interesting. Appo said that the
green-goods business iu this city was
uiootlv in the hands of James MoNally
and Frederick Hudliek, Tlnso two
men mmaged rival concerns and
wore known is the "backers."
Both had police protection.
Men called ''steerers" were employed
to escort the victims to tho ''offices.''
Theat sworers were well known to the
police. Appo himself was well known
to thorn. They escorted their victims
under the eyes of tho polios with im
punity. Tim backers guaranteed pro
tection in this city to those in theii
employ and held back a pereontago of
each nun's pay for tho purpate of pay
ing the police.
Men who trind to run the , business
on their own account iu this city, Appo
said, wer driven out of the precincts,
even murder being attempted to get
rid of them, jobs being put up for
that purpose. There could bo no
doubt, tbo witness suld, that the
regular, men in the bttsineu were
protected by the poli-jo, und us proof of
that lie added with the utmost non
chalance that if he attemptud to pick a
pocket ho was iimnedutoly arrested,
but that notwithstanding hit picture

that he was well known to the police,
he was allowed to steer "guys," that is,

Washington, June. 15.
THE senate passed today from the

tion on tho wool schedule of the

tinued . from 10 31 to 8.80 p.m., bat
none of tue speakers presented any

For awhile today the scene in the

were more common than they have
been since the adoption of the quorum

iu tho Jones amendment the dividing

proved before the committee that it

their mills under suoh n rate. Attcr
thoroughly discussing the question the
sub-committee decided to make a new

per cent, duty on nil goods valued nt
more than 00 cents per pound.
This notion of tbe committee has
callid forth a storm of opposition from

Such Is the Verdict of the Jury and

He Tells It.

and how it led to speculation and then
to difuculties and sometimes to forgery .
He emphasized tbe importance of men '
signatures us being the principal safe
guards in buoinese. Justice Inyrahaui
showed the jury, by quoting from the
nrtioles of unti ciation of Ii. O. Dun &
Co., that none of tho three pariies
,iad a right to draw to exceed their
guaranteed compsmsatiou, except as u
settlement showed that more wasduj,
Itnd then. oiy by ponuissiou of Mr.
Dun. The eourl quoted Mr. Dun's let
ters to Mr Wimau to show that Mr.
Dun reminded him that his continued
overdrafts were violations of tne agree
ment. The court said it wus for the jury
to consider tbe defendant's intent in
writing Mr. Bullinger's name. The
j,i Iga allowed most of General Irnoy's
request's to charge, and this Was taken
as favorabls to the prisoner,
After long deliberation tho jury re
turned a verdict of guilty, with a rec
mmi ndatlon to mercy. The foreman
ot the jury wept us be delivor-d the
verdict. As soon as tho verdict was

started for the Tombs. The penalty
for Mr. Wimau's crime is imprison
ment for not more than ton years in
state prison There is no minimum
penalty.
After hearing tho verdict, Mr. Wi
man said: "There is nothing that I
can say. My c.ish will, of course, be
appealed. I il m not guilty, for I did
not intend to defraud auy ouo. I wus
persecuted, uot prosecuted."
