More Light Thrown Upon the Sugar Trust
Operations.


Operations.
[copyig, 1855, bs the California Associdted Press
New York, February 23d.-A side light
is thrown upon the operations of the Sugar
Trust, through the agency of interviews
with Philadelphia refiners, who refused to
enter the combination. Z. G. Knight said
to an interviewer that he would have
Joined the trust had his refinery been in
New York, but Philadelphia refiners would
be in the minority in the trust, and the
Philadelphia refneries would therefore,
have been closed, probably only those in
New York and Brooklyn continuing to rum
The capacity of refineries east of the
Pacific Coast has been from 20 to 25 per
cent. greater than the home consumption
since the drawback on refined sugar ex-
ported was reduced 2S2, to a point that
has decreased the export trade to a nominal
figure, as the duty on 100 test sugars is
2.40, while the drawback on refined is
about the same, which leaves the refiner
who exports with loss instead of profit
to the extent of shrinkage in wight by the
process of refining, besides the cost thereof
This confined us to the home market, and
with 25 per cent. greater capacity than con-
sumption we could all only run about
three-quarters, or some must run less if
the others run more.
Under the trust this extra 25 per cent.
capacity has been laid off and expenses
stopped, while the most improved and
economical refineries do all the work
Under the trust 100 test granulated sugar
is selling at 2c or 15c higher than before
the trust was formed. Other sugars have
advanced under the trust

Another Story of the Irish-Tarpey Fall
log Out.
fcopyight, 1883. by the California Associated Pyessl
WASHINGTON, February 23d.-In the dis
patches to the California Associated Press
this afternoon some idea was given of the
dissensions in the California delegation
which was sent here to secure the Conven-
ton for San Francisco. Colonel Irish does
not think he was treated with decency by
Mr.. Tarpey, and he attributes the failure of
San Francisco to obtain the Convention to
Tarpey's lack of judgment
Tarpey, on the other hand, says that he
was working single-handed for victory, and
that he was willing to sacrifice anything to
obtain success. In a conversation with
your correspondent tonight Tarpey said :
g 1t was agreed in the conference that Gen.
eral Rosecrans, Mr.. Irish, Mr.. King and
myself should address the committee in
behalf of San Francisco. Each city was
given twenty minutes in which to present
its claim, and it was immaterial to me
whether there were twenty men to speak
one minute each. or one man to speak
twenty minutes. i asked Mr. Tingle, Con-
gresham Thompson and General Ham
mond TO address the committee, and all
of them refused. Then, after having
address the COMMITTEES, and while they were
in readiness to do so German told me to
limit the speakers to King and myself l
told Rosecrans and Irish what had been
directed to do. General Ro,ecrans appar-
emily had no feeling in the matter, but
Irish evidently had. He said nothing, but
l inferred that he felt aggrseved Had |
undertaken TO have told German that had
made certain arrangements for speeches, in

properly have told me that as San Fran
cisco was managing its own fight it required
no further advice or assistance from him.

chances in this manner. Last night Gen

Husband.

SANTA Rosa, February 23d.-The most
ghoulish affair that ever transpired in this
city came to hight to-day. S. A. Wells, a
carpenter. who is said to be addicted to the
opium habit, has been living with his wife
on Davis street for several months past.
Last Sunday morning between and 5
o'clock his wife gave birth to child, with
out the attendance of physician. Wells
called in lady neighbor, the mother of a
family, and requested her to act as mid
wife. The lady refused, and advised him
to call physician. Wells replied in a
contemptuous manner that he had no faith
in physicians, and undertook to perform
the duties of midwife himself Shortly
after the birth the child was reported dead.
Wells then wrapped few rags around it,
dug hole in his backyard, and buried it.
Last night the news of the fiendish work
reached the ears of the officers, and to-day
Wells was notified to remove the remains
outside the city limits.
1t is matter ofspeculation as to whether
the child was born dead or st1angled to
death, but it is likely Wells will be prose

ICopyTig. 1855, by the ifor1aG Associated Press
Ell PAso, February 23d.-Several Mexi-
can military officers passed through here
to-day en- route to Sonora, where they are
ordered to report to General Guerro at Pa
lam, large town near the lower Yaqui
river, due east from Guaymas. These of
ficials possess considerable experience in
Indian warfare, and are expected to render
valuable service pending the Yaqui war,
which instead of ending with Cajeme's
death, seems as bitter as ever under the
leadership of Chico Vendado, the acknowl-
edged successor to Cajeme.
The Yaouis' situation in Sonora resem.
bles in many particulars that of the
Apaches, Utes, Sioux and other tribes of
the United States. The Yaquis were pos
sessed of large reservation along the
9aqui river, embracing hundreds of thou
sands of acres of rich and fertile lands
| that had new r been disturbed by the VIC
torious Spaniard nor his successor, the
modern Mexican. The Yaquis had been
in fact always sufficiently warlike to keep
up some kind of independence under their
own Chiefs, who guarded with a Jealous
eye their country from the invasion of
Mexican squatters.
burning desire of number of wealthy
and influential Mexicans to possess them
selves of the rich, wealth-producing acres.
For this reason the aid of the Federal Gov
eminent was invoked, while open war was
made upon Caieme, the patriotic Chief.
The great mass of the tribe were caioled by
specious promises of dividing and parti-
tioning the lands of the great reservation
in severalty. After Cajeme was made way
with, these promises were not kept. The
whole district Is watered by the Yaqui
river, from the crest of the Sierra Madre to
the breakers of the Pacific Ocean, will
shortly be parcelled out in immense grants
to few favored persons whose influence
in Sonora is well understood and to whom
grants will go.
Some parties high in position managed
to secure the larger portion of Lower CAL
ifornia under under the guise of grant to
the International Company. Not in the
United States alone do people use the facili-
ties given by high official position for the
purpose OF swelling their private accounts.
