In live yours the grain exports have decreased more than SO per cent. New York is trying to recover this trade and retain it by providing tho best of facilities and by giving good service, but rates will be wo maintained.

"In 1S93 our grain exports amounted 1 $0,000,000 bushels; last year we exports about SO.000,000. Tho ocean tonnage In an out of New York City has probably double In the last ten years.

"New Orleans and Galveston have Indee been getting a great deul of ttie New Tor trade. I think there is a great future fo both ports and for all the South. 1 am vei much impressed with what I have seen shipping facilities here, but New Urlc-ar might do well to keep a close eye on Oa veston.

They are not in thii slate of repair that would make them cor venlent for handling freight, and I am sui prised that there are not more covere docks." REPUBLICAN SENATORS CONCLUDE AOT TO HAVE A STRAIGHT INVESTIGATION IHTO THE POSTOFFICE PROPOSE TO LET POSTOFFlOE COJI- MITTEE INVESTIGATE INDIVIDUAL CHARGES, "CKULTED TIE PflESIiEST And Course Wmm Decided I'pon After the Interview With the Chief Executive. Wftfthingrton, April A proposal to pass a resolution for a postofflce investigation has-been dssireysgi by some of the Hepubll- members the Senate Committee on Poatofflces and Post though a determination for such an inquiry has not been fully decided upon by the Republican leaders. The resolution which has been Bugge'sted will provide that a subcommittee of the Committee on Poatofflcea and Post Roads may receive during the recess of Congress any specific charges made against any official or person, and determine whether auch charges should be investigated. Members of the committee say the resolution will provide for a condition during the recess which has existed during session, which is that specific charges will be taken up when presented, but tha't no general inquiry will be instituted. President Roosevelt had a conference today with Senator Penrose, chairman of the Committee on Postoffices and Post Hoftda, ftnd subsequently one with Senator Aldrich, Ihe Republican floor lender of the.

Senate. Both Interviews related to the proposition that the Senate provide for an investigation of the affairs of the Poatoffice Department. The President maintains the same position noVy -that he has held from the Inception of the troubles in the Postofflce Department-that the department must be purged from all suspicion. He believes the Investigation conducted by the department officials them-r delves was thorough -and searching, and lhat.any further investigation by a committee of Congress or by a committee from the outside covering the same ground would bo practically fruitless, but he is not inclined fco stand In the -way of further inquiry.

A Japanese rabble, which has followed tho army over here, has brought In a quantity of counterfeit bank notes and Korean nickel coins for circulation among the ignorant natives, and the use of this false money la making much -trouble.

Th arguments on the motion were concluded today, Judge Johnson addressing the cour on behalf of tho defendants snd W.

Guthrie closing for the petitioners. arguments today attracted an even greater attendance than those of yesterday and were followed with keen interest. Sir. Guthrio said In part: "I wish to cal specific attention to the fact that not one 01 the defendants has fileJ any affidavit or mado any denial whatever of tho claim mado by us that If that this distribution goes into effect that the Northern Pacifl and the Great Northern will be in closui control than before. The only form of de nlal thT have made is to quote from the report of Secretary Nichols that if distribution Is made under this plan, Mr.

Hill wll have left only 24 per cent. "We all know that It is a common practice among- baukeis, financiers and brokers to hide ownership of stocks by malting them over to clerks, friends and any une whom can conveniently use for the purpose. "1 here offer, If I am allowed to examine tho books of tho Securities Company, to trace every individual certificate of stock In Its original issue to Its present owner no matter whether it has gone through a hundred transfers; "If we are permitted to examine the books, we can show that the effect of this plan of distribution is, and has been from the first, to perpetuate the control of the Northern Pacific in the hands of Mr. Hill." At this point Mr. Guthrie made the somewhat sensational charge that the Northern Securities Company had increased its hold- Ings since the decree was Referring: to the argument of counsel that the object of this action was to obtain delay; Mr.

Guthrie exclaimed: "Why aro they afraid of delay? There has been no competition between the'North- ern Pacific and the Great Northern since 1896, and all of a sudden they are terribly We want our Northern Pacific stock back. We do not want any Great Northern. It is" the simplest thing to understand that If we are forced to take an interest In both, we will naturally not care for competition. If we only take Northern Pacific we -must will seek competition with the Great Northern." Judge Sanborn asked as to the form of order desired. Mr.

Guthrie replied: "We ask that the permissive decree be made mandatory and that the court direct that the distribution of, the stock be made to original holders." As Mr. Guthrie closed his argument, Elihu Root rose, and obtaining permission of the court, replied to the charge made by Mr. Guthrie that the defendants, Hill and Individually acquired stock in the Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads after the decree of the. Circuit Court had been handed down. He'said: "I think counsel hardly appreciates the gravity of the charges he has made.

It means, if sustained, that these gentlemen have been guilty of criminal contempt of court. "I am authorized iq state that neither Mr, Hill nor Mr, Morgan have acquired one share of either of these stocks since the decree was handed down." Mr. Guthrie. In a stated the petitioners hail nothing to go by except the records of the court and testimony of the defendants, and if that were illegitimate, he would apologize. If given an opportunity to prove what they believed to bo true, he thought It would-be disclosed that additional stock had been acquired, If not after, at least on the eve of the decree, and in anticipation of it, so that the pro rata method of revision of assets might be furthered.

The court then announced that It would take the matter under advisement and jburned until tomorrow. POLITICAL.
