FRIENDS IN THE SENATE, TOO Newspaper Men Give Damaging Tes timony Before the Bribery Committee. Associated Press. Washington, May 24. The senate bribery Investigation committee today began 'a secret inquiry Into the connec tion of the sugar trust with tariff legis lation. L. J. Edwards, the author of the "Holland" letter In the Philadelphia Press, was before the committee several hours. He declined to state his author! ty for the Information that Secretary Carlisle appeared before the tariff sub commldtee before the original senate bill was reported and insisted that sugar be given protection because of party pledges made before the election, or for the statement that Carlisle himself had revised and written the sugar schedule. The other statements, the authority for which Edwards declined to give, were that $500,000 was contributed by the sugar trust to the Democratic campaign fund. . Edwards said his first Information as to the Interest of the sugar trust in politics had come In the spring of 1892, when it had contributed $10,000 to the cause of the 'anti-snappers" in New York, but he had thought comparative' ly little of this when he had heard of Its further large donations In the fall of that year. - His first Intimation of Mr. Havemeyer's Interest In tariff legis lation had been received from an In terview with him published In the .Brooklyn 'Eagle as early as the 2Gth of last January, In which he said the tariff would be looked after when it should reach the senate. "We are not without Influence In the senate," Mr. Havemeyer was reported to, have said. "We are not Impotent there;"" Edwards also said that Harper's Weekly, of which ex-Secretary Schurz is editor, had asserted the trust was not without friends In the cabinet and In congress, and said he obtained his In formation about the reported meeting of Havemeyer and Senators Brice and Smith at the Arlington hotel, In this city, from newspaper publications. With reference to the speculation of senators In sugar trust stock, he said it was a matter of common report in New York that four or five senators had engaged in speculation, but he said that owing to the fact that their dealings came under the class known as privileges, puts and calls, there was no record kept of them, and the fact of this trading would be difficult of proof. The afternoon session was brought to a sudden halt by the committee de mandlng that Edwards give his authori ty for statements made In his testimony concerning Secretary Carlisle's Inter view with the sub-committee of the finance committee and the committee drafting the sugar schedule. This Ed wards declined to do. The committee Insisting, he asked to be allowed to consult with his attorney, Judge Dlt tenhoefer. The request was granted. John Schrlver, the Washington corre spondent of the New York Mail and Express, was examined in regard to a dispatch which appeared in his paper May 19, stating that an interview be tween a United States senator and members or the sugar trust, In a par lor of the Arlington hotel, had been overheard by a wire manufacturer, who occupied the adjoining room. Schrlver was asked the name of his authority, and also the name of the wire manu facturer mentioned. Schrlver said the story had been given him by a con gressman, but he declined to give his name, or name the wire manufacturer, Harry W. Walker, a Washington cor respondent of the St. Louis Post Dis patch, was called, and asked to state where he had obtained the information published by him in a dlBpatch, in which he stated that a prominent member of the cabinet had Intimated that the president himself had confessed the Democratic! party was under obligations to the sugar trust. Walker also con firmed Mr. Schrlver story. He re fused to give any names. NORTHERN PACIFIC LITIGATION. Chicago. May U.

This being the con dition in the Islands, In the name of humanity he appealed to the senate to pass the resolution. At this point the hour of 10:30 arrived, and the resolution went over and the tariff bill was taken up. The surprise of the day was the ac ceptance by the finance committee of an amendment offered by Allen, Popu list, of Nebraska, to place barbed wire on the free list. Several Republicans opposed it ,but did not carry their op position to the extent of demanding a record making vote upon It. An intima tion from Hoar that barbed wire waB to be the price of Allen's vote for the tariff bill was Indignantly denied. The Powers amendment to Include other classes of fence wire was de feated.

The wheels touched the high and low spots In the road In such rapid succession as to severely test the springs and kept the occupant of the slago bouncing atout it Interior like a rubber ball. Finally the driver slack ened his sieed and Judge Lord thrust his head out to expostulate; but Just then the whip cmcked again, the horse Jumped Into a run, and as the Judge was Jerked violently back Into his scat he heard the driver r'nout: "My. Lord, sit still, and you will iret there."
