THE INVESTIGATION ENDED.

Results of the Work of Senator Gray's Committee. Washington, June 19.—0 n Saturday the examination of the senators was completed. Senator Gray was the only one that admitted that he had speculated in sugar. He said he had been dealing in stocks more or less all his life, and for the last twenty months had bought and sold sugar stocks. The day before the vote was taken he sold all he had at a loss, so that it could not be charged that it influenced his vote. He said that he had not been furnished with any information as to what the finance committee would do with the sugar schedule and that formed no part of his basis of purchase or sale. He saw no reason why a. United States senator should not avail himself of a plain business proposition and he intended to transact any such business in the future as he had in the past. A number of other senators were examined during the day, but none of .them gave any testimony beyond the denial of the categorical questions concerning the purchase and ownership of sugar stocks or knowledge of any purchase by anyone connected with them either officially or domestically. The list includes Senators Gordon, Jones (Nev.), Kyle, McLaurin, Man.ierson, Mills, Mitchell (Wis.), Morrill, Murphy, Palmer, Pasco, Perkins, Platt, Proctor, Pugh, Roache, Sherman, Shoup, Squire, Stewart, Teller, Turpie, Vest, Morgan, Power, Vilas, Voorhees and White.

Mrs. Brown lived in Washington for two years so obscurely that her presence there was known to only a few personal friends. Her simple tastes and limited means doubtless combined to prompt her to a life of comparative seclusion. I
