THIN llllES AGAIN. - Another Effort to Probe the Senate Sugar Scandal. COMMITTEE TOO INACTIVE. The South Carolina. Statesman “’ants the Matter Brought Before the Senate—Ho Vigorously Defends Himself Con- cerning Marion Butler’s Charges. Washington, June 4.——In the senate Senator Tillman moved that the com- mittee on contingent expenses be dis— charged from the consideration of the resolution for investigation of the charges in regard to sugar speculation and bring the resolution before the sen— 'ate. Senator Gallinger, a member of the committee, said that he objected to Mr. Tillman’s motion and added that the committee in its own good time would make a report after carefully considering the matter. Senator Vest quoted from a speech of Senator Thur— man regarding a demand made at one time by a Louisiana senator for an in- vestigation. Thurman said that a sen- ator of the United States had recourse to the courts the same as any other citizen, and no investigation was or- dered. Charges Vague and Indefinite. Mr. Tillman said he was not concern- ed as to the chargeszagainst himself, and he proposed to have these charges investigated because an attempt had been made to attract attention from the fire he was building in front. He saw no reason why any senator should not want charges investigated. \Vhat he wanted was to find out whether the senate or any senator belonged to the Sugar trust. Mr. Gallinger said the question was whether the word of Senators Aldrich and Smith was to be taken by the sen- ate. He said the charges against the committee on finance and Senator Smith were vague'and indefinite. Mr. Tillman said what he wanted was to bring the newspaper men before the bar of the senate and put the questions to them'and if they refused to answer put them in jail. If they had lied about the senate or senators, they should be punished for contempt. Mr. Gallinger said there was no neces— sity to railroad the resolution through. Mr. Tillman replied that railroading was necessary, as congress would ad- journ- as soon as the tariff bill passed. An Outrage, Says Gallingcr. Mr. Gallinger referred to the last sug- ar investigation and considered it an outrage that he and other senators were dragged before the committee of inves- tigation to swear that they were honest men. Mr. Tillman said the necessity for swearing senators was because a wit- ness had exculpated one senator and then refused to answer as to others, leaving the balance under an imputa— tion. The witness had been sent to jail for refusing to answer, and now he would be compelled to answer. Before‘going on with the tariff bill to- day the ‘senate passed a bill for a pub— lic building at San Angelo, Tex., to cost $100,000. Mr. Vest (Mo.) offered a resolution reciting that the skeletons of American soldiers killed at Buena Vista in 1847 were now exhumed and asking the state department to investigate the subject, and report the facts to congress. A letter was read in this connection from Consul General Crittenden, saying the matter should receive the attention of the authorities at Washington. A clip— ping was inclosed stating that the bones of American soldiers were bleaching in the sun. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. Tillman spoke in his usual vehe— ment style, which attracted much at— tention and drew crowds to the gal- leries. He presented a. clipping from a ,Haverhill, N. H., newspaper, referring to the recent speech of Mr. Tillman and adding a query as to whether the pro- posed sugar inquiry would be supple- mented by an inquiry into the charges of ex—Senator Butler in connection with Mr. Tillman’s administration of the .SouthACarolina dispensary law. .‘Marion Butler Scored. The charges against him were stale, Mr. Tillman said. He had met them before, and he read an open letter writ— ten to the people of South Carolina, characterizing the charges as slanders. This was an attempt to divert attention from the sugar scandal, the senator de— clared, but the attempt would fail. He had come from the plow to the gov- ernorship of South Carolina. over the prostrate forms of those constituting the old regime, and it had won him many enemies. All the crimes in the decalcgue had been charged. against him. He had appealed to his people, and they had sustained him, sending him to the senate after a heated can- vass in which Mr. Butler had sought to . “fiyblow” his (Tillman’s) character. If any _man desired to look into his character, then, said Mr. Tillman, he courted the fullest inquiry. And any other senator against whom there was , the breath of scandal should have the charges probed to the bottom and the scandal dispelled. He had made no charges against the senator from New Jersey (Mr. Smith), he declared, but had merely submitted published charges now before the public. Mr. .Tillman said he would not have asked the senate to discharge the com- mittee if Mr. Jones, the chairman, had not told him he had not been able to get the other members to meet with him. Mr. Jones (Ark.)——The chairman of the committee could not have made such a statement because it was not true. Mr. Tillman—He told me he had tried to get a meeting and could not. Mr. Jones (Ark.)—The chairman of the committee will not so state in his place in the senate, as there had been a meeting of the committee to consider the resolution. , Mr. Tillman withdrew his motion to discharge the committee, saying he did not wish to cast any imputation on th committee. . - The Trouble In the House. Mr. Terry (Dem., Ark.) rose to a ques- tion of privilege as soon as the journal 'had been approved in the house. His question of privilege, he said, vitally affected the rights and privileges of the house. “I am a southern man and a Democrat,” said he. “I believe in jus- ilce and hate injustice”— Here the speaker interrupted him rather sharply and directed him to state his question of privilege. “It affects the appointment of com- mlttees,” replied Mr. Terry. “The house has already decided that question,” observed the speaker. ., “But this relates to a particular com- mittee,” cried Mr. Terry. ‘ _. “The gentleman must state his ques- tion of privilege,” reiterated the speak- er. “The the of the house cannot be stopped in this fashion.” “We have plenty of time,” shouted Mr. Terry. " “That depends," retorted the speaker sarcastically, “upon the relation of time to what is going on.” [Laughter on the Republican side] Thereupon Mr. Terry read a long res- olution with several “whereases” which he had prepared. It recited the deep interest the people‘had in the Cuban question. the passage of the belliger- ency resolution by the senate, the ne— cessity for its due and orderly consid— eration by a committee of the house and concluded with a declaration of the sense of the house that the com— mittee on foreign affairs should be im- mediately appointed. BNSIGN STONE’S TROUBLES. He Declares That He \Vooed Miss Conde Like a. Gentleman. New York, June 4.———Lovelorn Ensign Stone and the Stern parent of his sweet- heart, Miss Marie Conde, met face to face in the court of inquiry on the Maine. For nearly two hours Million— aire Conde. related how Ensign Stone had ‘iiforced his attention” upon his daughter and had instigated Ensigns Parker "and Osborne tO enter Conde’s home to lureMarie away. The accused ensign told how he first became acquainted with Miss Conde and said they were betrothed. He de— nied that he had been ungentlemanly and finished by declaring, “I only acted as any man would act who truly loved a good woman.” Ensign Stone evidently has the sym- pathy of all of his brother officers now stationed at the Brooklyn navy yard. The court will probably hold two or three more sessions, and some of Conde’s servants are expected to testify today. Meanwhile Miss Conde is believed to be closely guarded in her father’s house at 6 West Fifty—sixth street. All night a. policeman walks in front of the house as if on guard there. Durrant’s Fight For Life. San Francisco, June 4.—Theodore Durrant seems to be breaking down, and Captain 'Edgar has commanded that a guard be stationed every minute of the day and night in the cage with the condemned man.

A special messenger will hurry across the continent, but he cannot reach Wash- ington before next Wednesday. If the journey is made without accident a re- turn staying the execution may be served by telegraph on the warden. South Sea Colonists Cannot Land. San Francisco, June 4.—All is not harmony in the Brotherhood of South Sea Colonists that left this port on the brig Percy Edwards about three months ago in search of a site. One of the col- onists in a letter posted at Suva, the capital of the Fiji islands, says that Captain Peterson has assumed the ' power of a czar. They were refused a landing on any of the islands of the Fiji group, and.the vessel was prepar- , ing to sail for the Samoan group. Big Crack In the Earth. Knoxville, June 4.—A crack has ap— peared in the surface of the earth in the mountains near Pearsburg, Giles county, Va. It has been observed only since the recent earthquake and is sup- posed to have been caused by that. The fissure is now a mile and a’half long and is daily increasing in size. Several families have moved away, fearing a volcanic eruption. Militia Guards a Jail. Springfield, 0., June 4.—There is great excitement in the town of Urbana. A negro is confined in the jail therefor assaulting a woman.

San Quentin, Cal., June 4.—The re- volt among the convicts at San Quentin is practically at an end. Captain Edgar, the guardian of the prison yard, now has the prisoners under complete con— trol.

Deafne ss Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the deseased portion of the ear There is only one. way to cure Derfness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Bus tachian Tube.. When this tube get infl. amed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing W111 be destroyed forever; nine cases out cf ten are caused by ca- tarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
