POSTAL TELEGRAPK STATIONS StTIOXS Arguments Made Before the House Committee Washington May 1 Mr Marion Butler president of the Farmers Alliance and industrial union made an agreement before the House

ailso spoke in continuation of his aumet ubje gan last week He declared the telegraph business is a monopoly than an attempt to meet it by private competi tion would result in no benefit to the people consequently the government ought to assume charge of the business He believed for 25000000 the present Western Union plant could be duplicated and the people would not have to pay the interest on 90000000 capitalization in stock which does not represent actual investment Replying to questions he said he did not think anyone could perform the work of the postal service as cheap as the government This remark led Representative Loud Df California to remark he was willing to take a fouryear contract for the work at 50000000 per year Sundry difficulties that would possibly atrise in the transfer of the telegraph te telegaph rJ the government were suggested by i mbers of the committee but Mr Maguire I believed that these could be overcome I or obviated in core ways that would companies not work hardship on the telegraph I WILL GO TO BLUEFIELDS Additional Protection to Be Afforded American Citizens Washington May 11 There is no direCt telegraphic communication between the

ks children a girl 7yearsold was so badly injured that she may not recover The circumstan ces leading up to the crime are as follows I I There are a number of criminal cases pending in Lynn and Sullivan counties against William Taylor Fld George Taylor brothers the former being a banker of Browning and the latter a farmer The charges against them are forgery arson and larceny William Taylor Gus Meeks and others were jointly indicted and Meeks pleaded guilty at the last term and was i sentenced to the penitentiary About a Abut I month ago he was pardoned by Governor Stone in order to use him as a witness against the Taylors who were in consequence anxious to get rid of him I I is said that the Taylors had arranged I with Meeks to give the latter a wagon and team to get out of the I country so that he might not be present when the case against the Taylors I was called for trial I From Meeks mother it is learned I that yesterday he received a letter i I from the Taylors at Browning telling him to be ready at 10 oclock last night Ito go away that Qus Meeks and children waited for Taylor until midnight when two men who Meeks said were George and Bill Taylor came to their house in a wagon Meeks and his family got on the wagon and started strte for fo Browning Details of the Crime I The details of the crime as near as I can be obtained were told by the little 7yearold

east Browning they were met by two other men who were lying in wait Gus Meeks was first shot Mrs Meeks jumped out and she also was killed The murderers then took stones and beat the brains out of two

Browning was before the knowledge of the murder had reached here The people of the neighborhood placed guards around the straw stack where the dead bodies were found Upon investigation it was

evidence Sharon McCullough of Gault and George Howlett of Lynn county have been arrested participants in the crime A party of citizens from Milan and Browning found at the place of the murder the revolver and a stone with which the murderers had shot and killed the father and mother and beaten the brains out of the two children and left the other for dead Lyn 4iins Quite Probable I I At this writing the Taylors have not been apprehended but it is not thought possible that they can escape Great I excitement prevails in this part of the I county and if the murderers are fully identified the

similar dose was given After half an hour Tip began to vomit His legs wabbled a little and the park commissioners grew weary of the job Dr Spitzka advised against the use of cyanide of potassium A later report says Tip only munched the apple containing poison and then spat it out and refused all other poisoned morsels I The doctors say Tip has certainly got enough poison in him to kill a dozen horses but it seemed to have little effect on the elephant except to produce weakness in the legs After a short while he regained his wonted vigor Tip died at 419 this afternoon after swallowing several balls of bran in each of which had been secreted sIx grains of cyanide of potassium Eight dissectors went to work immediately and into sections by tomorrow Tip will be divided DARK DONGS BY I THE PllGiOftS Investigation Reveals Some Very Olever Financiering NEW FACES WERE SEEN IN THE COURT ROOM I Some Startling Testimony Given By Edcs A Witness Who Fails to Remember Certain Deals Because He Fails to Remember The Villsird Syndicate and the Bonds Why One of the Gentlemen Interested in the Deal Did Xot Care to Testify New York May 11 Several new faces were visible in the group of lawyers directors and witnesses in the Northern Pacific investigation case today Among them were Wright one of the Northern Pacific railroad directors and A Spofford president of the Rocky Fork Cook City railroad and private secretary to Henry Vii ard v1S Spofford was to have testified I yesterday but was excused on account of the absence of his counsel 1 Searles vicepresident of the Farmers Loan Trust company was recalled and asked whether he had been able to find any record of the increased capital stock of the Rocky Fork Cook City railroad company from 740000 to 2000000 Mr Searles said that the company had no such record and that the increase must have been made before the stock came into the companys possession Janies McNaught senior counsel for the receivers stated however that he had the minutes of the meeting of the stockholders and directors at which the increase was authorized and was ready to submit them at any time The dates of these meetings were April 5 1889 and May 4 1889 Edes on the Stand Edward Edes secretary and treasurer of the Rocky Fork Cook City company was replaced on the stand Wetmore president of the North American company asked permission to appear as counsel for the witness He stated that iha books of the old Oregon Transcontinental inquired for yesterday were among the old numbers of the North American I cOmpany He was perfectly willing to permit any of them to be produced by Mr Edes which had any bearing on I I the case under consideration but wished to be present to see that no I others were presented After some discussion as to whether Mr Wetmore should not rather appear as a witness himself Master Carey decided to allow him to act as I counsel and the examination of TVIr Edes proceeded Er Edes procured various books of the Oregon Transcontinental I Is continental which were put in evidence He was requested to refer to those portions of the books of the company which showed in what way it was concerned in the placing of the bonds of the Chicago North Pacific Why Bonds Were Issued After much discussion it was finally developed that when the Chicago North Pacific issued its bonds to obtain funds for the purchase of the various properties comprising i they were deposited with the Farmers Loan and Trust company The Oregon Transcontinental acting as financial agent of the Chicago Northern Pacific advanced the latter some 7000000 or 8000000 and opened subscription I lists for the bonds As the later were paid for most of them at DO cents on the dollar the Oregon Transcontinental gave orders of the Farmers Loan and Trust company to purchasers for the delivery of the bonds For these services as financial agent the Oregon Transcontinental received a commission of 3 percent At that time January 18 1890 an agreement had been made between the Northern Pacific the Wisconsin Central and Chicago Northern Pacific by which the latter should be formed and leased to the Wisconsin Central and subleased to the Northern Pacific The reason for the introduction I of a temporary financial agent was mat the options for the purchase of the roads and properties afterwards consolidated into the Chicago Northern Pacific company were about to expire and it was necessary to obtain an advance of money from such an agent in order to insure them Minutes of the meeting of Oregon Transcontinental directors for January 18 1890 showing these sOwing facts were read in full They created something of a sensation as they showed that the tle plan of leasing the Chicago Northern Pacific to the Northern Pacific was ful ly understood before the formation of the former company and that it was formed for ithe purpose of so leasing it This has already been denied by the Chicago Northern Pacific people 1 These books of the old Oregon Transcontinental have never been before seen I by the counsel on either side until the present investigation The minutes of the meeting of Oregon Transcontinental committee in New York January 22 1890 and May 26 1S90 were also read They recited the various steps in tlss formation of the Chicago Northern Pacific and gave lists of the property held tion by that company after its form I Was a Cute Move I Throughout the minutes showed that I every step in the formation of the Chicago Northern Pacific was taken with the advice and instruction of the Northern I Pacific and with the intention of leasing the Chicago Northern Pacific i to the Northern Pacific Pacifc Wisconsin Central company The 20 000000 of bonds of the Chicago Northern Pacific were sold at 90 per cent and should have brought in 18000000 but only about 9000000 appeared on the books of the Oregon Transcontinen tal as havIng been received and there was nothing to show from which purchasers I this had come I cord of what the purchasers paid Mr Edes testified that during his work as financial agent for the Chicago Northern Pacific the Oregon railroad and Transcontinental railroad had borrowed some four and a half millions from the Wisconsin Central The money was paid back a few months later and the transaction is only of interest In showing the intimate relations existing between the Northern Pacific Wisconsin Central Oregon Railway and Transcontinental railroad and Chicago Northern Pacific all pretty much controlled by the same parties and the way in which they loaned moneyxto each other Mr Edes said Mr Pettit 6n the list of subscribers to these bonds I find a subscription of over 4000000 by the Deutcher bank Steam Henry Villard and associates Was this subscription ever paid I dont know replied Edes I suppose it formed part of a lump credited to the case Have you nothing to show that i was received Not here said Edes the checkbook may show Very well replied Mr Pettit Now here is a subscription of Io Colby for himself Mr Rockfeliow Mr Trevor Mr Abbott and Mr Colgate for 7000000 Have you anything to show that this sum was ever paid Nothing replied the witness unless the check book does so But my dear sir said Pettit you did not receive millions without making a record where they came from Well they came from the subscribers to the bonds said Edes but there is no record of separate payment by them Why He Refused Mr Spoffords refusal to testify was based upon the presumption the present hearings were really instituted in order to obtain evidence to use against Mr Villard and others and that the circuit court of Wisconsin had no jurisdiction to institute and prosecute the inquiry and that the clerk of the district court of southern New York had not power to subpena him At the request of Mr Pettie the sub pena under which Mr Spofford was I called was read Master Carey then saying he was powerless in the matter and that it must be referred to the United States court Mr Edes then took the stand and produced toe cneck and deposit books of the Oregon Transcontinental which i was hoped would show who paid the money received for bonds of the Chicago Northern Pacific The books showed the deposit of 8130356 on June 3 1890 to the credit of the subscription for the Chicago Northern Pacific bonds This sum had been deposited in five different sums in the same bank on the same day An itemized account showed these were made up of a score or more small sums Against eight of these aggregating 826537 were marked the letters This Mr Edes said meant that they were received from Mr Villard None of the other were so marked I Very Bad Memory 1 Now said Mr Pettit you have only received about half of this 18000 000 that you should have received where is the other half I dont know Well who did not pay up 4 dont know I What is your recollection My recollection IsI dont recollect Dont you remember anyone who didnt pay up No Out of the half that did pay dont you recollect anyone Yes Mr Smith Davment What is the total of Mr Villards So far as I can see here it was 826537 paid on June 2 Were any subsequent payments made on account of these bonds Yes said Mr Edes 4334150 was paid on June 26 Who paid it I Well i was paid on account of the purchasers of the bonds but I do not know the individual payers The money so received and deposited by the Oregon Transcontinental was paid over to Wegg on the same day Mr Wggg being one of the trus teeis f4fetb stbtdchpldejg i 4hp va rjQiig properte then being consolidated into the Chicago Northern Pacific The Search Grew Warm The search for the persons who did not pay for their bonds grew warm and the lawyers and witnesses got very much tangled up in intricate questions mostly on figures Finally Mr lIC aught counsel for the receivers suggested perhaps the records of the transactions with the United States Trust company of the Chicago Northern Pacific would throw some light on the subject and asked for their production tomorrow morning The meeting then adjourned until tomorrow morning at 10 oclock Mr McNaught afterwards explained i that it would probably appear that the I missing 7000000 for the bonds had been obtained through the United States Trus company and of course would not appear on the books of the Oregon Transcontinental Some discussion took place over a pencil mark on the books referring to this matter which Mr Edes said had been made by the bookkeeeper from information given him by Edes The object of the question asked was to show that Mr Villards syndicate received 11000000 of bonds for a nominal sum while other purchasers paid the market rate All receipts from subscribers were lumped and no itemized list payments were kept so far as can be learned I was very difficult show whether the Vlliard syndicate did or did not pay for their bonds SUGAR INTERESTS DISCUSSED Schedule of the Proposed New Tariff Law Condemned New Orleans La May 11The sugar convention met at noon at the Academy of Music which was crowded with representatives of the representates sugar interests at that hour The gathering was a thoroughly representative one The convention was called to order by President Murphy of the Sugar exchange acting for the planters Mr McCall who believes the passage of the Wilson bill would be death to the sugar interests was chairman The conservative element it would seem therefore will control the convention ExGovernor Warmouth is taking a leading part in the proceedings The convention having organized at 1 oclock it immediately proceeded to the transaction of business Resolutions were adopted declaring the sugar schedule of the Senate finance nance committee fixing the duty on raw sugar at 40 per cent ad valorem is inadequate protection to the home producer and that it is impossible for 1 the cane growers and sugar manufac turers of Louisiana pay for the actual cost of production at that rate of duty that the sugar tariff was insti tuted from the beginning of the government and was continued until 1890 when the McKinley bounty went into operation the bounty being supposed to take the place of the duty then prevailing although the bounty itself was a reduction of the rates of the tariff law that under the influence of that bounty the sugar industry of Louisiana has been increased in three years from 180000 to 320000 tons that if the present law be abrogated and the duty adopted the sugar industry will be practically destroyed We also protest against the continuance of the Hawaiian reciprocity We advise the legislature

agree to the proposed division of the territory of the Western Passenger 1 association and that deal is off at least for the time being The reasons given by the Atchison for withholding its consent from the proposed arrangement are that it in volvtes too many contingencies and that if the emigrant agreement is in I any way dependent on the arrangement of the association territory there is no assurance the emigrant deal will even go through While declining to accept the division 1 of territory the Atchison says it will in no way embarrass the workings of the emigrant clearing house The truth of the matter is the Atchison does not wish to enter into any arrangement which may in any way tend to hinder the settlement of its troubles in California with the Southern Pacific and i is willing to sacrifice pretty much all that is necessary to have tied its dispute with the latter set tedOX OJT THE GREAT XORTHERX 1 Another Strike Likely at Almost i Any Time St Paul Minn May 11 Nearly
