He Narrates the Incidents of the Tragedy. "I Felt His Deep Glance the Moment I Stabbed Him"?Ha Claims Kosnoeslbtllty Far Ills Actloni. By ths Associated Praia, Pa it is, Aug 2. ?Cicaaro Santo, the as- sassin of President Oarnot, was put on trial today. M. Brouillac, who presided over the conrt, is the judge who drew much criticism npon himself by con- demning the bill for tbe suppression of anarchistic crime, recently passed by the chambers. A platocn of cavalry surrounded the prison van as it was driven at a gallop from the prison ol St. Paul to the court honse, around which there is a double cordon of troops. When reading the Indictment was fin- ished, the names of three witnesses were called, and the presiding judge be- gun to question the accused. The judge recited tha known tacts about the fam- ily, the prisoner later answering: "Just so, I never had a dispute with anyone." Tbe president continued: "How about your morality?" "I suppose it was the same as that of other young men," replied Cicaaro, smiling slightly. "I understand you desire to pass as ascetic," said the judge, "but that is not oorrect as we have evidence from tbe Cette hospital you have not always had a horror of women ; but," contin- ued Breuillac, "what is important to be known is whether you were responsible for your actions." The prisoner here oried with great an- imation : "Yes, sir; I am responsible for my ac- tions. I never have been ill." Replying to further questions he said not one of bis family had been weak- minded. The presiding judge then said: "Since your arrest did you write your mother, saying you killed the president from anarchistic motives'.' Are tbese your words?" "Yeß." replied Cfcaaro with indifar- ence. The judge then recalled that t';i"»ro had as a child figured in reli- gious processions at Motta Visconti, his native town, for his beauty was re- markable until be fell under the spell of anarchism. Two years ago he was much drawn to religion. Then anar- chist inflammatory literature excited Cjosaro so much that the attention of the authorities was drawn to his dangerous utterances and a warning hint was sent to hie family. After serv- ing five months in prison for distribut- ing anarchist leaflets outside ths bar- racks at Milan, Csesaro planned and ex- ecuted the deed for which he is now on trial. In reply to tbe judge's queation in regard to bis childhood and bis taking part in religious processions, Ctesaro answered mockingly: "Children do not know what tbey are doing." Tbe judge tbsn examined Cieearo at length as to his connection with anarchy. The pres- ident said : "Your family tried to wean you from these horrible doctrines." "Ilove my mother," the prisoner re- plied, "but I cannot submit to her pre- judices or to my family prejudices. There is the larger family of humanity." Ctcsaro was dumb when the judge senght to extract from him information how the anarchistß communicate with each other, and as to his immediate as- sociates in anarchism. The presiding judge afterwards questioned the pris- oner concerning bow much money he had after he paid his bills ut Cette, ask- ing, "What did you do with the remain- ing france ?" "I bought apoignard," replied Cteiaro defiantly. The assassin narrated the incidents of his approach and attack upon President Oarnot, replying to a question at iteclose by M. Breullao as to whether he did not know the penalty of big act would be death: "I am an anarchist and I hate the boargeoise and the heads ot the state." After this reply from tbe prisoner, the weapon with which he killed Presi- dent Carnot was shown to tbe jury, the president saying: "Take care, gentlemen. Do cot touch the blade. It is a relic which must be preciously preserved." Tbe prisoner then narrated the inci- dent nf the tragedy, Baying: "When I was opposite the gate whence the president was about to emerge, I knew that persons of mark always sit on tbe right side of the carriage. There- fore I crossed to the right hand of tha pavement. "At .) o'clock tbere was a buzz of ex- citement as President Carnot was enter- ing his carriage. Tbe people were cry- ing: 'Vive Carnot, vive la Repnbhque.' "I laid my left hand on tbe cernagt and hustled aside a mau who was in my way. Then I made a dash at tbe presi- dent and dealt him a violent blow with my dagger. The blade stuck fast in his breast, and my baud touched his coat. "As I stabbed him I cried, 'Vive c Revolution.' Judge Breullac nuked the prisoner what occurred at tbe tragic moment when he caught President Carnot's eye. The prisoner said President Oarnot looked up into his face. "I folt his deep gh nee the moment I stabbed him." General Version and General Boring, who were in President Carnot's carriage, testified, after which tbe trial was ad- journed until tomorrow. I. >~m Highwayman. Tbuckkk, Cat., Aug. 2.?A lone high- wayman held up tbe Truckeeand Tahoe stage this morning at a point three miles out of Trucfcee. There were 15 passengeri on board when tbe stage was stopped. The passengers were told to throw out what money they had. CHICAGO AGAINAFIRE. The Lumber Dlstrlot Visited Once Store by tho Flnmos. Chicago, Aug. 2. ?The lumber district was tonight visited by a second fire which for a time threatened to rival in destructiveness that of last night. Be- fore it was subdued it had wiped out tbe yards of tbe following concerns: John Schley Lumber company ; A. J. Bean, cedar posts; B. Farrell, cedar posts. In addition to tbe lumber yards, tbe wooden bridge over the Chicago river at Ashland avenue was destroyed. Tbe fire tonight wae between two loading slips for vessels. A high wind was blowing and tbe fiamss in a few minutes were beyond tbe control of the firemen, and began rapidly to travel south. The fire boats ran up and thß engines de- voted tbeir attention for tbe most part to tbe protection of adjoining property. Tbe yards were on fire in every part. The tongues of flames leaped across the river, which is fully 200 feet wide at this point, end set fire to the Ashland avenue bridge, which fell into tho water within 25 minutes after it began to blaze, just before it caught fire engine company No, 2 came thundering acrosß it to work on the tire. A sheet of flame wrapped itself around the engine, slightly seorchiog several men and badly burning Peter Fleming, tbedriver. He clung to hia seat and urged bis borses through tbe flames, both of tbem being severely singed. Fleming ia now in tbe hospital, but will recover. In the slips adjoining tbe fire were seveial vessels, all of which had narrow escapes. At 10 p. m. the fire department had tbe flames under control. Tbe losses are as follows: J. Schley Lumber company, $95,000; E. J. Ban, $2000; P. Farrell, $3000. All are pro- tested by insurance. GENU!HAL DIHOKD Shows Generosity?Wilt Not Talk or the Governor's Strictures. San Francisco, Aug. 2. ?Gen. Dimond was asked today if he cared to make any atatement for publication in reoly to the ' criticisms made by Governor Msrkbam in hie published address to the people ol the state. "No," said the general. "I am pre- paring a complete military report of the operations of the militia during tbe whole period of tbe strike, it requires the examination of a great mass of of- ficial returns and correspondence, and is necessarily a work of much difficultyand labor. That report will be made to Gov- ernor Markhani, as commander-in-chief. It will be a plain statement ol facts, supported by official documentary evidence. I have nothing to conceal or > extenuate, and am confident that the | public will exonerate sue from all blame jwhen tbe whole truth is known. Pend- ing the making of the official report, I think it would be undignified and unbe- coming in me, as well as unmilitary, to make any comments on the statements in Governor Markham's letter to the public. I can only regret tbat he has not been restrained by tbe time consid- erations from tbe publication of strict- ures at this time. Meanwhile, I will simply ask a suspension of opinion by the press and the public until the facte are fully known." PHILADELPHIA'S FATAL FIRE. Two Firemen Smothered and Two Are Crush.d to tho Floor. Philadelphia, Aug. 2. ?Two firemen were killed and five injured in a fire today, which destroyed the Mills build- ing at Randolph and Jefferson streets. Tbe building was 200 feet long and four stories high. It was owned by David Cocbran. After the fire was quenchod several firemen entered tbe third floor and turned their hose on a large quantity of burning cotton. Suddenly the floor fell,, precipitating; the men to tbe first floor and they were buried in tbe debris. Two of tbem were taken out dying, having been smothered by the fumes of cotton. Tbe killed are: George Geistlsr and George Dicker, who ! died on the way to the hospital. Five j other firemen sustained less serious in- ' juries. Lose, $59,000, fully insured. Abont Pullmans. Sacramento, Aug, 2.? J. P. Meehan, superintendent of tha Pullman Car company, and their attorney, J. Gorgan, appeared before the state board of equal- ization today. Thoy claim to have 99 Pullman cars in operation in this state, running l to Chicago; Portland, Denver and El l'sso. They claim that many of the cars are old end worn out and think that a valuation of $4000 per car all tbat should be placed upon them. Mr. Meeban admits that new cars cost $13,000 each, but et.va a large number of their cars were old Southern Pacific sleepers that were converted into Pullmaus in 1883. He said if the Pullmans had all tbo say the old cars would be all condemned. . If tbe cars are assessed at $4000 and this divided between tbe ditferent etates through which they run, the Pullman quarter interset in California will be as- sessed at less than $25,000.

Spriug st. CHINESE-JAPANESE WAR. Latest Particulars of the Situation. Captain Gatsworthy and Mate Tamplin's Version. Their Story Substantially Corrobo- rates That Already Printed. The King's Father, Tal-In-Knn, Placed on the Corean Throne?China Has Sworn to Exerelse Moderation. By the Associated Press, London, Aug. 2.?Tha Japanese lega- tion in hia city bas received a dispatch from Tokio containing affidavits of Cap- tain Guts wort hv and Chief Officer Tamp- lin of the Kow Shuns;, giving their ver- sion of the battle substantially aa already published. The Times oarrespondont at Yoko- hama suya tha Japanese minister nt Seoul, alter tbe collision there between the Japanese and Corean troops, placed Tai-In-Kun, the king's father, at the head of the Corean government. Captain Gateworthy of the transport Kiw Suing states tbat be was pre- vented from surrendering by the Chinese troops aboard hia vessel. Advised by the Russian and British ministers, the Chinese government has sworn the utmost moderation and has obtained the general sympathy of the foreigners of the east. A dispatch from Tokio dated Angnst 2d cays that previous to the capture of tbe Kow Shung the Chinese had landed 5000 troops at Asan, where they had en- trenched themselves. The whole Chi- nese fleet is now assembled there, and a naval battle is imminent. Committees of merchants here are providing immense funds for carrying on the war. Dispatches from the Chinese govern- ment at Pekin confirm the reports tbat eerions fighting has occurred between Japanese and Chinese troops. The Chronicle correspondent at Tokio telegraphs that the Japanese fleet is con- centratiog its strength at Kuugh Wa, an island at tbe mouth of the Seoul river, and that a great naval fight is expected shortly. The queen of Corea who, it it taid, hn» fomented the trouble which brough . on the war. Takaehiho, one of the nem Japa rue mcn~'> r r OFFICIALS TO WITHDRAW. United States Mlni.t.rs to Protect Chi- nes** and J.pan.l*. Washington, Aug. 2?A telegram re- ceived at the Japanese legation says that the Cbineee government has notified Japan that tbe Japanese minister at Tokio and the consuls throughout Japan would be withdrawn on the 3d of August. In consequence of this action the Japanese goveri ment has notified its charge d'atiaires at Pekin and its con- suls throughout China to withdraw. No formal statement that a state of war exists between China and Japan has se yet been communicated to the Japan- ese legation here. It is said that if such communication is made to this government it will come from the United Stateß minister at Tokio. The Corean legation officials at this cspitol have been trying to com- municate with their government but without avail. Tbe last attempt was via the Chinese land line, but the tele- graph company returned their message with the statement tbat it was refused by the Chinese adminißtration on the ground that it was in the code. At the request of the Chineee and Japanese governments, through tbeir representative here, the state de- partment has instructed United States Minister Dunn at Tokio and Mr. Denby in charge at Pekin, to take under the protection of the United States the citi- zens of China in Japan and Japanese in China. This is a distinctively war measure and although it cannot be learned at tbe Btate department that it has been regularly notified of tbe war between China and Japan, thia move- ment on the part of Secretary Gresham indicates that he has been co advised and is proceeding upon tbat informa- tion. This is not the first time that tbe flag of the United States bas offered protection to foreigners in hostile coun- tries, for dnring the Franco-Prussian war the United States minister at Paris took under hia care the German resi- dents of thatciiy. The selection of the United Btates in this case by both parties is regarded as an evidence of tbeir belief in our absolute impartiality. TO DIRECT REFORMS. The King. Fnthitr to Have Charge or Affaire. Washington, Aug. 2.?A telegram has been received at ttrw-dsrpsnieae legation giving the substance of the formal repre- sentations made by tbe Japanese gov- ernment to the foreign ministers at Tokio, defining its attitude on the Corean question. It is as follows: The king of Corea has appointed his father, Tai-in-Kun, to have control of the administration of the government and to direct the reforms which have been determined upon. Several days ago the king summoned the Japaneae minister at Seoul to the palace, where Ac was informed Mat the reforms in the administrative policy of the Corean government had already been inaugurated, with which he would be consulted as occasion arose. Tbe improvements in Corea's adminis- trative policy have consequently, not- withstanding the repeated refusals of China to consider them, been put into operation by the independent action of the Corean government, which will be carried out according to tbe king's will. The question of Corea's autonomy and independence is thne affirmatively set- tled. Double Pay Promised. Shanghai, Aug. 2.?The emperor has divested Li Hung Chang of the yellow jacket, in consequence of supposed re- missness in prosecuting tbe war. Twenty thousand Chinese have crossed the Yel- low river and BUOO have left Monyden for Seoul. Double pay has been prom- ised to ships' officers aa n douceur. First Official Notification. Washington, Aug. 2.?The state de- partment was officially notified this evening tbat war bad been declared be- tween Japan and Coma, The dispatch does not say however, which country made tbe declaration. It is also stated tha' Japttn has withdrawn her charge d'affaires at Pekin and the American legation was tendeiing its goodottices to protect tha subjects of Japan in China. Oen.rtad the Populist*.

THE TRUST INVESTIGATION Report Presented and Dis- charge Asked For. Finds No Evidence oi Bribery in the Senate. So Money Paid to Campaign Fund to Influence Legislation. The HeTemeyere Did Mot Hm an la- terTlew With {"resident Cliva- land?Smith aad Caiud.u Exonerated. By tbe Associated Press. Washington, Aug. 2.?Senator Gray, chairman of the sugar investigating committee, presented a report t > the senate today and asked that the commit- tee be discharged. The main report is signed by all members of the committee. Lodge and Oavia presented a supple- mental report, and Allen presents hie own views of some features of tuo caae. The report cites the tacts which have been published as to the refusal of cor- respondent Edwards to answer quea- tints, Secretary Carlisle is exonerated, and parts of tbe article in the i'btladelpbia Press, reflecting on him, are declared without foundation. The committee also says: "There hag been no testimony presumed tuiore your committee, and your committee bas been unable to discover any, tend- ing to show that tbe sugar schedule waa made upas it then stood in tbe proposed amendment to tbe tariff bill, in consider- ation ol large or any sums of money paid for campaign purposes of the I umocratie party. No witness has testified belore your committee that euch waa the fact, and all tbe Democratic mem here of tha finance committee and all the senators whose names have been mentioned in that public press aa especially interested in protecting the sugar refining industries, or in whose states sugar refineries ex- isted, have under oath denied thai they had any knowledge or information as to any sums of money, large or otherwise, having been paid lor campaign purposes of the Democratic party by the sugar trust, by those connected with it, or by anybody, as a consideration for favora- ble treatment of us intereste by said party." Tbe committee also reports the sub- stance of the testimony of the sugar refiners as saying that the campaign contributions were made only to tha local committees, and not for tbe pur- pose of influencing national campaigns or for tbe purpose of securing or defeat- ing national legislation. "No other testimony has," the com- mittee cays, "been offered, suggested or discovered which would tend to support the statements of Edwards in this re- gard. Nor is there any evidence in sup- port of tbe statement tbat eithar of the Messrs, Havemeyer had an interview with President Cleveland onayscbt in the summer of 1892 or 1893 in regard to ibe sugar of tbe Hawaiian islands or any other sugar intereete, or tbe policy oi the administration in regard to them. On the contrary, it has been affirmatively shown that the statement is untrue as to any such interview having occurred. "It is shown by the evidence that one or more officers of tbe sugar trust were in Washington and tbat tbey saw several senators, generally thoae representing states in which sugar refineries were located, with the view of influencing legislation, but these gentlemen deny the use of any improper motives to that end. Both the members of tbe trust and the finance committee denied that any meeting took place between them at the capitol or elsewhere, as was stated in the 'Holland' letter to bave taken place, and there is no evidence in sup- port of the statements in this regard." The committee also unite in saving that no evidence bas been adduced tending to show improper conduct on the part of those engaged in the framing of the sugar schedule in the tariff bill, The committee strongly deprecate the pressure to which congress and it 3in win- ners are subjected by tbe representa- tives of great industrial combinations, "whose enormous wealth tends to sug- gest undue influence and to create ir the public mind a demoralizing belief in tbe existence of corrupt politics. " Tbe committee reports in tbe nega- tive upon tbe question : "Whether any senator bas been speculating in sugar stocks during the consideration of the tariffbill ?" Ad to the latter branch of inquiry which brought out a photographic copy of an order to buy sugar stocks, dated March 2d, and purporting to be eigned hy Senator Camden, the committee gives credence to the denial of Senator Camden and says tbat Battershall, wtni-e testimony was expected to bear up ttie inference from the photographic copy, is a man of doubtful character. Senator Smith is also exonerated from blame. mi nun i.i it np, the committee save thai no charge or charges have been bled before them alleging that the action ol the senators hae been corrnptiy or im- properly influenced in the consideration of tbe tariff bill aud no attempt hae been made to influence legislation. All the testimony taken by the com- mittee ia eubmitted as a part of the report. Messrs, Davis and Lodge (Reps.) sub- mitted a supplemental report devoted entirely to the eubjeot of the iufiueuco of the sugar trust, co called, on tbe sugar schedule, as it now stands in the tariff hill. They say that "no evidence has been submitted to the committee which proves the sugar schedule was made up in order to fulfillobligations to the sugar trust for campaign rontrioutione," but they considered it tbeir duty to go into more details aa to tbe method employed in making up tbe sugar schedule for which the Democratic members of the finance committee, it is pointed out, are publicly responsible. It is also submitted, says the report, and it is proved by tbe sworn testimony of every witnesa called, that the plat- SUMMER NECKWEAR REDUCED PRICES We are closing out our large line of 50c. iiik ties at 35c, or three for $1.
