because he believes he can prove a case
against them. Again, at the extra ses-
sion of the Legislature OF 1887 commit
tee of five was appointed to inquire into
the withdrawal of bonded liquors from
the Custom House, and as We under
stand it, these arrests are in connection
with the examination of that committee.
The report of the committee was read in
the House Saturday, December 3, 1887,
by Hon. w. r. Castle, the chairman.
After going into the details of examina-
ton at the Custom House, the commit
tee winds up as follows:
Two questions present themselves upon
this matter: One, what shall be done with
reference to the past? The other. what
shall be done with reference to the future?
With regard to the first your committee
have to say that it has been impossible, IN
the limited time allowed them, to sift the
whole matter to the bottom, but they be-
iieve that no inconsiderable portion OF the
duties which the Government has lost can
be recovered, and that the matter in all its
aspects. even involving criminal prosecu-
tions, should be pushed at once, and vigor-
ously In this behalf the committee feel
impelled to call attention to the lack OF
vigilance displayed at the Custom House
in delivering goods upon an order which
has the appearance at glance of having
been fOully dealt with.
For the future, the committee feel as
sured that, so far as the foreign diplomatic
representatives are concerned, no occasion
will again arise requiring investigation,
and that any assistance required by them
in making and perfecting arrangements
will be gladly rendered by His Excellency
the Minister OF Foreign Affairs
With regard to His Majesty, the commit
tee are of the opinion that arrangements
can and should be made at once whereby
all Withdrawals on his account shall be
under the immediate supervision and con-
troll OF some responsible officer, to be APP
pointed by the Cabinet.
And your committee do therefore rec
ommend, in accordance with the above
suggestions, and also that His EXcellency
the Attorney General be required at once
to institute an inquiry into all of the mat
tiers involved in said statement, and if it
shall appear that any amounts are prop
erly due to the Government for goods inn
properly withdrawn, proceedings shall be
had to recover the same; and if it also APP
pear that any person or persons are liable
to any fines or penalties, or to any punish
ment under our statutes, that proceedings
accordingly be instituted. And they also
recommend that if it be found on such ex-
animation that any licensed dealer has
been guilty of any fraud or such gross
carlessness as to amount to fraud in the
premises, that no spirit licenses be granted
them or any of them in the future.
The report of the committee was
adopted. From the above it will be
seen that the Attorney General has been
at work on the committees suggestions.

In the Civil Court yesterday the case
OF Mary Brown vs.. Harry M. Byng,
trespass, was heard. The plaintiff has
a night school for Chinese near to the
defendants barber shop on King street.
The other day Harry assaulted one OF
the scholars, and was fined in the Police
Court for the offense. During the hear
ing of the case some strange evidence
was produced. Since then Harry has
trespassed on Miss Browns premises,
and she brought an action to recover
damages for the same, and she wants
Harry to keep away from the place.
After hearing plaintiffs case the de-
PENDANT, Byng, went on the stand, and
said he went to Miss Browns to get
some articles that belonged to him. He
did not wish to annoy her, and had no
i'll feelings against her. In future he
would not even take his hat off to her.
The Court fixed the damages at SO,
with costs.
Byng asked Miss Brown if that was
satisfactory.
Mr.. w. o. Smith, who appeared for
Miss Brown, said it was, but he must
leave her alone in future.
Byng said he would leave her alone !:
would not even raise his hat to her.
The parties then left the Court.

THURSDAY
COLONEL SPRECKELS AND THE SUGAR
TRUST

In yesterdays issue of the "Gazette"
appears an article taken from the San
Francisco Call stating that there is
no reason to believe that Col Spreckels
rontemplates any opposition to the great
sugar monopoly. 1t would appear from
the following, from the San Francisco
"Post" OF February 23d, that he is ready
to do battle and is being well backed up:
The New York Trust will soon be COM
PEELED to battle for the control of the sugar
trade of the country.
a syndicate is being formed. with Claus
Spreckels as chief organizer, which is to
include all the refineries in the United
States who have hitherto fought the com
bination single-handed. The avowed OBJ
ject is to smash the Trust, and to accom-
plish this end refineries will be bought and
erected and prices cut whenever and
wherever necessary. The syndicate will
begin the fight with an actual working and
pledged capital estimated at $4,000, COO
Part of this sum is subscribed and paid in
by the outside Eastern refining companies
Most of the capital Will come from Cali
fornia, and Claus Spreckels alone has $15,-
900 900 which he is willing to send into the
battle.
The new combination has assurances of
sympathy and patronage from heavy job
bers throughout the United States, and
they think they will be able to give the
New Workers the liveliest whirl on record.
Claus Spreckels is in the scheme princi-
pally as a measure of retaliation. About
L.
he was urged by Havemeyer and Searles
and other leading lights in the conspiracy
to Join issues with them. He refused, say
ing that he had never gone into any pool
in California, though it would have been
to his advantage to do so, and that he was
opposed to pools and trusts. The outcome
was that the Trust did not get him in.
A dispatch from New York, dlted
February 23d, states that the advent of
Col. Spreckels in the East will give gen
eral satisfaction The dispatch goes on
to say that there is a very universal
opinion in New York against trusts of
any kind, and especially against the
Sugar Trust, which was the first of
this series of commercial evils. Any
action taken to prevent the execution OF
their plans would meet with the most
cordial support from all classes of the
community, and it is, therefore, not sur
prising that Spreckels has been commu-
nicated with by Eastern parties. 1t has
not been definitely ascertained who will
work with the California Refinery in
New York, but many prominent bust
ness names have been mentioned, and
considerable secrecy seems to surround
their tactics. This new move in the
sugar deal gives encouragement to the
commission inquiring into the workings
of the Trust, and will probably result in
the adoption of stringent measures
Gaainsv any person who declines to inn
part information, or who will use other
means of imposing obstacles to sue
cessful completion of the work of the
commission.

Go look in the chapel, and hear the great
choir,

Go look In the closet wher his overcoat stays
And you'll ind a dirty hankerchief-been

Where safe from the eyes OF the mother he
loves,
Is also a pair of old yarn gloves.

A CURIOUS DISCOVERY.
A Sensation Created by a Japanese
Peasant Woman.

A young japanese peasant woman
has created a genuine sensation In the
medical circles Of the east with a new
theory and cure Of rheumatism.
Her theory is that 1t is caused by q
small insect under the skin, that gnaws
and bites the muscles and thus causes
the twinges of pain and the untold mis-
cry of that ailment.
A grizzled aud skepilcal sea captain
placed himself under her care aud, az
Ter foot baths of bran and hot rice
brandy, she nipped from his knees
small white insects by the dozen!
The regular practitioners were sk-p-
teal about this new theory, and put
Que of the insects under q microscope.
They decided that by it's organism 1t
never could have lived under The sur
face Of the skin.
The Captain insists, however, that
the japanese woman has taken the in
eects from his knees aud ankles by the
hundreds, In his sight, and killed them,
and that he grows better each treat
ment!
This theory, absurd as 1t seems, is
really not much more 80 than the the
cries formerly held by the medical fra
ternity. 1t used to be thought a trouble
Of the joints, and was treated rs such
until it WAS demonstrated that the
treatment brought no lasting results.
Then. AS the muscles were effected,
ii was set down a. u muscular disease;
but the came unsatisfactory result fol
lowed. Now 1t is universally acknowl-
edged to be "fiery condition of the
blood caused by the presence Of uric
acid In the system"
To cure 1t the uric Dcid must be driv-
Ell out of the blood, which Is done by
putting the kidneys in healthy con-
dition with Warmers safe cure, and
"putting out the fire in the blood" by
Warmers safe rheumatic cure. These
remedies, taken Ia alienation, as they
should be, drive out the uric acid al
ready In the blood, and prevent furth-
er accumulation. James Wight, OF 81
E. 10th ST., New York, was for many
years q victim of rheumatism, and
tried various remedies and cures with
out avail. Sept. s, 1887, he writes Ia
praise OF the remedies named, and
says: III am now free from the arrow
stings Of the dreaded infiammatory
rheumatism. have and always will
recommend Warmers rheumatic rem
edies to all suffers OF the disease"
The Japsuese peasant woman's theo-
ry will not be likely to stand the test Of
time aud scientific investigation, but
the thousands of cures made by the
remedies. mentioned above prove their
merits beyond all question.
