ket II was said 10 be due to the combina-
ton, although there may have been other
causes which influenced prices. Both raw
and refined sugars have advanced since
the formation of the trust, but
the latter had advanced more than
the former. The common understanding
in New York, witness said, was that tire
trust was the only buyer of raw sugar, and
importers had felt themselves more or less
at the mercy of the trust buyers. IL had
been reported that cargoes destined for
New York had been directed TO other ports
because OF the trust.
Mr. L. b. Thuber, OF New York, said

THE HOHENzOLLERNs sCROFULOUs.
The BLOOD OF the Royal Family Tainted
Through Car Paul.

New York, March "a London dis
patch says Today's events raise to fever
heat continental interests in the query how
long the crown prince will live. Here in
England this anxiety, swallowed up tenn
porarily in rejoicing that the English
princess, who is best beloved of her whole
race, and who made such splendid and
resolute fight against the whole Berlin
court ring TO keep her husband alive, has
triumphed. She will be Empress Of Ger
many now, at least for time, and no Ger
man intrigues, not even II given the whole
weight Of her sons influence, can rob her
OF her rank, her dover and her share Of
the crown estates.
Naturally Englishmen are delighted
with this, and II is hard not TO sympathize
with them. Ii 10 recalled now that Bis
marck, who was already the chief man in
Prussia in 1858, strenuously opposed the
marriage OF the crown prince with the
English princess, saying that he was
against any "blood alliance with those
scrofulous Guelphs" The present situa-
ton is strange retributive comment on
that utterance. Scrofula, or that worse
allied disease, with which so many royal
strains Of blood are contaminated, laws a

Reno and Berlin alike; but the faint has
not come from England.

Paulowna, who wasa daughter Of the crazy
Gar Paul, one OF the most thoroughly

Paul's daughters transmitted the faint 10
their descendants. One of them, Anne
Paulowna, was mother Of the present King
OF Holland, and the recent death Of both
his sons and the extinction OF his male line
are attributed TO this.
In the male RomanoT line the same
malady caused the death OF the czarovitch
