Tariff" and Xrust.
Washington:, June 13 The vice-president
today signed the . certificate to the
district attorney of the refusal of E. R,
Chapman, the New York broker, to
answer the questions of the sugar trust
investigation committee. 'Havemeyer,
who expressed a willingness yesterday
to give the amounts of the sugar trust's
contributions to campaign funds, de
clined to do so today, as he was advised
that under the terms of the resolution
this was no part of the investigation.
The committee accepted this view, as
the witness had sworn no contributions
had been made to secure the election of
United States senators. Havemeyer
stated that in the last,, three years the
profits of the trust had been of a cent
per pound on refined sugar and the in
creased cost to' the 'consumer under the
proposed bill would be a cent' a pound.
He admitted that the purpose of the
formation of the trust was to increase
the cost to the American consumer.
Senator Allen And when you did
form a trust you did advance the price)
of sugar to the American consumer?
Havemeyer We did; it was an ad
vance of about a. quarter of a cent net.
"And the American consumer today is
....... .... .
paying inree-eigntns or a cent per
pound on refined sugar more than he
would be compelled to pay under a sys
tern of separate refineries?"
"Yes, sir."
"If the trust were wiped out the
American consumer would be benefited
to the extent of three-eighths of a cent a
pound on his sugar?"
"I will admit that, but anything that
will wipe out the trust will wipe out
the industry." . . -
SEARLES FOLLOWED HAVEMEYEB.
Jqhn A. Searles, secretary and treas-
urer of the American Sugar Refining
. Company, was the next subject of the
committee's questions. He frankly ad
mitted he had made it his business to
influence legislation favorable to the
sugar trust, and that for this purpose he
had called upon and labored with many
senators. The witness stood upon his
rights, however, when asked about
campaign contributions, and declined in
several instances to answer questions on
this subject. He declined to state the
amount expended in 1892, on the ground
that it was not within the province of
the inquiry. -
"Do you not," asked Allen, "decline
to state simply because you know it was
disreputable and unlawful to contribute
this money?" .
'"No sir; I do not admit anything of
I tne kind," replied Mr. Searles.
"Do you think it is perfectly laudable
for the American Sugur Refining com
pany to contribute large Bums of money,
by the thousands of dollars, for the
purpose of influencing legislators in this
country?"
"I have always understood for many
years that it is the custom of both par
ties to solicit from corporations and in
dividuals contributions for the carrying
on of their political campaigns, and that
it is the Custom of corporations and in
dividuals to respond to such invitations.
And with that understanding, and with
what I believe" to be the cnstom, the
sugar refining company made .such con
tributions." "Do you believe it proper for a cor
poration," said Senator Allen, "the
value of whose stocks may be affected
by national legislation, to contribute its
funds to the success or defeat of one
political party or the other?"
. "I think, as parties are now managed,
v it is proper."
"And the American Sugar Refining
Company, as a company, was actuated
bya high sense of patriotic duty in con
tributing this money, I suppose?"

"This is a pleasant way of putting it,"
responded Mr. Searles.
' beice's visits o tebbell.
H. P. Burney, one of ' the room clerks
at the Arlington hotel, said Senator
Brice had been in the habit of calling on
Mr. Terrell, but that be called there no
more frequently during his visits last
winter and spring than on former occa

- Northern Pacific A rain Opened.
Asistant General Passenger Agent
Charlton , of the Northern Pacific, yester
day recieved telegraphic advice from
General Superintendent Kimberly that
the line would be in condition for- the
resumption of through ' business by
Saturday. This means that passengers
leaving Portland today will be sent
through on time. The Northern Pacific
is enabled 'to thus early resume the
regular running of through, trains' by
using its De Smet branch. This branch
is in good condition, and its use will
cause little or no delay to through travel.
The Northern Pacific has suffered
greatly by the flood between Portland
and the Columbia, but the use of boats
has enabled the officials to keep their
trains between Portland and Spokane
running on -schedule time. The most
serious trouble has been east of Spokane.
Until this is thoroughly repaired the
through trains will run over the De
Smet branch. -
The. Honor Is Oregon' .
West Point,N. Y., June 13. William
B. Ladue, of Oregon, took the highest
honors in a graduating class of 54 mem
bers from the United States military
academy yesterday. The ceremonies
were under the shade of the large trees
in front of the library, and many dis
tinguished visitors were present. The
address to the members of the class was
made by General John C. Black. Briga
dier-General Ruggles, adjutant-general
of the United States army, as the repre
sentative of the secretary of war, wel
comed the graduates to the commiss
ioned rank ot the army. General Rug'
tries passed the diDlomas to the cradna
ates as they were called upon. There
was great applause when William B.
Ladue stepped to the front and took the
first diploma. Ladue is the son of W,
N. Ladue, a banker, formerly of Salem,
Or. The . new first and third classes

morning.
In Defense of the Dead.
Washington, June 13. Perkins of
California, in the senate -today,- briefly
defended the memory of the late Leland
Stanford from the charge made by
Representative Geary that he had
founded Stanford universety out of a
spirit of revenge and resentment because
he was not elected a trustee of the
University ot California. Perkins said
that when he was govener of California
he had appointed Stanford regent of the
university, but at the request of the
latter the legislature did not confirm the
nomination. Governor Stoneman also
would have made Stanford regent, but
the honor was declined.
Panama Is Burning;.
Panama, June 13. A fire which broke
out this afternoon has already destroyed
100 houses "and is endangering a quarter
of all the buildings in the city. The
high wind is spreading the flames. At
7 o'clock it was reported about 225
buildings were in ruins and the public
market was threatened. No full esti
mate of the loss is yet possible; A vast
quantity of merchandise - has been
burned. Not less than $1,000,000 worth
of .property has been ruined, and much
more has been badly damaged. The
present estimate of the loss is between
$1,250,000 and $1,508,000.

DEFINITION , OF A TENOR.
Von Bolow Regarded Snch a Singer as an
Illness, Not a Man.
As a conductor he simply worked
marvels, even witn an indifferent or
chestra, and this is the performance he
perhaps enjoyed most; he would com
pare hxs conducting' to his piano forte
playing-, and say at the end of a con'
cert, provided he was satisfied: , "This
is the finest Bechstein I have played
on," says the Saturday Review. Bulow
at orchestra rehearsals was almost as
interesting- as Verdi, and operatic per
formances Carmen, for instance
under his baton were the rarest treats
a musician could enjoy. His connec
tion with the operatic stage led him to
the-definition of a tenor, which it is dif
ficult not to repeat: "Ein Tenor ist kein
Mensch; es ist eine Krankheit- (A ten
or is not a man; it is an illness.) And
since an anecdote has been perpetrated
room lor another mitrtat be found.
It will be remembered how some two
or three years ago the German emperor
in the course of a speech referred rath
er rudely to the "grumblers' (Norcrler)
at the existing regime, and advised all
such to shake off the dust of the Vater
land's soil. The speech created an un
usual stir in all circles, and there was a
large contingent of officials and others
who took the hint and became known
forthwith as Staubabschuttler. Bulow,
who had always something to say or
write, held his -tongue this time, but
at the first philharmonic concert he
conducted in Berlin as he stepped on
the platform he took out a very large
handkerchief and in full view of the
audience began to dust his shoes, just
to show that he was not satisfied with
the existing state of things.
He took it also musically out of
u)uni HocnDurg when that amiable
despot had him turned out of the Ber
lin opera nouse. it was at a piano-
lorte recital at the oingacademie,
where, by wayof a prelude, Bulow
just played the hrst lew bars of
Figaro's aria, "Se vuol ballare, Sig.
Contino." Bulow's sarcastic vein found
also an outlet in a composition of little
merit, but one by which he, strangely
enough, set ffreat store, "Humons-
tische Quadrille aus Motiven der Oper
isenvenuto Cellini von Berlioz," a mis
take not easily explained in so serious
an artist and due probably to a passing
innuence. .

Deafness Cannot be Cared
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portionjof the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness-is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a. rumbling sound or
imperfect 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 will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (.caused by catarth)
