LTILLIIAN’S PLAIN TALK icv'l'lle South Corolina Senator Makes a. ‘Sensational Speech. SUGAR TRUST THE SUBJECT. Wants anorsConnect‘ing Senators There- A with Fully Investigated—Allusion to Cleveland—Reply of Aldrich of- Rhode Island. Washington, May 29. -—-Senator Frye of Maine presided in the senate today in the absence of Vice President Hobart. Waning interest in the tariff debate was indicated by the comparatively small attendance on the floor and in the galleries. ‘ A monster petition, said to bear the names of 15, 000 citizens of Philadelphia, was presented, favoring Cuban inde- pendence. Mr. Cullom (Rep, Ills.) gave notice of two amendments to the tariff bill. One of them proposes to strike out the item increasing the tax on beer and to substitute a tax of 70 cents per gallon on distilled spirits. Senator Tillman of South Carolina in,- troduced a resolution for the appoint; ment of a special committee of five sen— ators to inquire into recent reports of SENATOR TILLMAN. speculation by senators in sugar stock and as to advance information by New York speculators as to the sugar sched- ule of the tariff bill; also to continue the investigation made in 1894. The resolution recites that one man is serving a sentence in jail and that an- other was yesterday acquitted on a technicality and provides for conduct- ing the investigation so all questions shall be pertinent. Senator Frye, in the chair, promptly referred the resolution to the committee on contingent expenses. A Sensational Speech. Mr. Tillman made a very sensational speech. He said the Democratic mem— bers of the finance committee were un- der a cloud on account Of the sugar schedule of the tariff bill of 1894; also that the Republican members ofEthe finance committee were now under sus- picion. One party was as deep in the mud as the other in the mire, asserted Mr. Tillman. Mr. Pettus (Dem., Ala.) demanded that Mr. Tillman should specify his charges and that the whole senate should not be subject to his sweeping assertions. Mr. Tillman said that the time had come when the senate could no longer afford to be under such an accusation. If senators had been speCulating in sugar stock with a knowledge of tariff secrets, the senate ought to find it out and purge itself. or if newspaper corre- spondents were lying against senators and the senate then the press gallery ought to be cleared of all dishonest cor- respondents and the men who slandered the senate ought to be punished. Sen- ators could not afford. to lie back on their dignity and say that it was be— neath them to investigate such charges. “We are today,” he exclaimed, “face to face with the fact that both_parties, Democratic and Republican, are on trial before the people as to whether the finance committee of the senate is hon- est or not, or whether itsunembers are bought and sold like cattle. The inves- tigation of 1894 involved the president, the secretary of the treasury and ‘ 1 Democratic party in general, but now the scene has changed. The Republic- ans are in power, and the same benefits, the same differentials, are to be given to the Sugar trust. Both parties are therefore involved in the smirching of the senate and in reflecting on its honor and integrity, and therefore both par- ties should help each other to restore the senate to the respect in which it was once held by the American people.” Referring to a statement of Senator Jones Of Arkansas as to a conversa— tion which that senator had with Pres- . ident Cleveland in 1894, he was inter- rupted by Mr. Jones with a denial or an explanation. Mr. Jones said that the statement which he had made was that, pending the discussion of the tariff bill in 1894, Mr. Cleveland said to him that he was satisfied that a differential of one-fourth cent a pound between raw and refined sugar would be necessary to enable American refiners to maintain their business, and that if the differen- tial were only one-eighth cent, his im- pression was that the American re— finers would be driven out of the busi- ness. - A Reference to Cleveland. Mr. Tillman expressed the hope, iron- ically, that Mr. Cleveland had not met with Mr. Havemeyer on Mr. Bene- dict’s yacht and made arrangements with him. Here Mr. Gray of Delaware, who was chairman of the. Sugar trust investigation in 1894, broke in with the statement that that charge had not only been not proved, but that it had been absolutely and clearly proved to be untrue. Mr. Havemeyer and Mr. Searles had not only had' no such meeting with Mr. Cleveland, but had never met him and did not know him personally. “One- half of the American people and more,” Mr. Tillman exclaimed, “do not believe but there was rottenness and corrup- tion among leaders of the Democratic party in the election of 1892.” He had numerous extracts read from papers showing, that the Sugar trust secured the sugar schedule in the new bill, and also an extract from a paper making a charge that Senator Smith Of New'Jersey had been speculating in sugar. Senator Aldrich, replying, said that he and every member of the subcommittee P courted the fullest investigation of their acts while considering the tariff bill. - Postmaster-s Appointed.

PEACE PRECAUTIONS IN ATHENS. All Antidynastic Movements Will Be Sum- marily Dealt ‘Vith. Athens, May 29.—Elaborate measures have been taken to preserve order here. Besides the police and gendarmes, a civil guard- has been enrolled from among the most trusted inhabitants. The minister of the interior, M. Theo— tokis, is resolved to deal severely with antidynastic movements. The fact that the warships at Phalerum are ready to land troops and artillery in the event of disorders has deterred the revolutionists . from making a demonstration. The porte, in reply to the note of the powers, consents to negotiate for peace, provided the Greek commanders first sign an armistice. As soon as this is done the government will negotiate as to the peace conditions with the embas- ~-sadors, and the treaty will be signed by the Turkish and ”Greek plenipotentiaries in Thessaly.
