CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-A Washington
SPECIAL says information received from
New York is to the effect that the recent
reduction of 81. 100 of cent per pound
as the drawback on refined sugars ex-
ported has completely stopped the ex-
portation of refined sugar from the
United States The refiners claim that
some strange influence must have been
exerted TO effect the reduction because
they heard from European sugar mer-
chants week before it took place that
the reduction was to be made,
while no American refner was consulted
on the subject either by the Secretary of
the Treasury or any of his experts.
They regard the Secretary's action
as hasty, while he on the other
hand says that it is merely ex-
perimential and by no means
conclusive. In view OF the distress likely
to be occasioued by this change, and the
fact that the Canadians have already be-
gun to absorb our immense sugar export
trade, the Secretary OF the Treasury has
insisted that the Collector OF the Port of
! New York shall proceed without delay to
organize com mission Of experts for
the purpose OF making tests that will
show with eyactness the loss Of weight
on raw sugars in the process of refining.
1t was represented to the Secretary that
the old drawback allowance involved q
bounty of one-half cent pound to the
retiner, hence the reduction of the draw
back.
81. Mccain, of Omaha, whom the
Red Cloud report so severely assailed,
does not propose TO be made the head
villain or scapegoat. He arrived here
this morning, and has begun to prepare
an answer to the statement of the com.
missioners. Ii McCann does what be
says he can, he will prove that the com.
missioners have been even more careless
than they charge Professor Marsh tc
have been in the presentation of his evi
dence. Mccain proposes to prove by
the official record that the three vi
tai charges against him are false.
