WASHINGTON, July IA subcommittee
of five from She Republican National execu
tive committee, consisting of Chairman
Quay, Vice. Chairman Clarkson, Treasurer
Dudley, Mr.. Fessenden, of Connecticut,
and Mr.. Hobarth, of New Jersey, has been
in conference here three days with a view
to harmonizing troubles in the Republican
party in Virginia. Delegations from both
parties have been heard. Brady and
Grover, of the anti-Mahon element, first
submitted to abide by the decision of the
National committee and the Malone side
showed similar desire toreach unity.
To-day conclusion was reached by the
national committee approving OF the call for
a state convention to be issued by Malone
as chairman of the regular committee, and
Brady on behalf of the other side con-
Cured in this action. The call is so
broadened as TO give the protection to dele
gates asked by the -Mahonists.
1t makes it the first duty of the state con-
ventlon, after assembling and reading the
CALL to have read a list of the delegates
certified by the county conventions and the
state committee, and also that dissenting
delegates shall be admitted to seats on the
floor Of the convention.
In conversation with an Associated Press
representative tonight Chairman Quay
and Vice-Chairman ClarlEson said: We
found both elements sincerely anxious to
effect party unity. The whole session of
three days has been harmonious and moth

1t is an honest and Independent reconcilia-

was definite intent that the English and

The Accumulation of Sugar.

NEW YORK, July 19.-The belief that the
vast quantities of refined sugar that have
been piled up in the big storage warehouses
along the Brooklyn waterfront during the
past two years have been corralled in view
of a squeeze by the managers of the Sugar
trust, has found many supporters in finan-
cial circles. Though for some time past
this piling up of the commodity was gen
orally known, it was supposed to be owing
to the scarcity of room in the refining
buildings of Havemeyer s. Elder and the
Havemeyer u Matheson and Wickers COM
panies, the apparent controlling spirits of
the trust. GA the Stock exchange the
opinion prevails today that the trust has
been engineering a corner in sugar and
that ere long the price of the refined article
will be sent up like a rocket The
wholesale grocery houses and other
consumers in this city evidently
anticipated this movement on the part of
the trust, and for months back every avail
able inch of storeroom in the big grocery
houses on the west side has been utilized
for storing sugar, and many of the public
warehouses heretofore at this season of the
year filled with winter supply of canned
goods, have been engaged by the wholesal-
ers for sugar storage. On the other hand,
the Wall street sugar brokers hold that the
trust has stored sugar because there is no
market LOT IL. anu prices nave SGruCh DOb-
tom and refiners can realize no profit on
their manufacture.
1t has been suggested that possibly the
sugar has been accumulated to undermine
Claus Speclxles when he got his Philadel
phia product refinery in operation; that it
was the intention to swamp the market
with the genuine article at a low price so
soon as Speckles turned out his first
cargo. In answer to this theory member
of Wall street prominent sugar company,
but with no affiliations with the trust, said
to-day: "Whatever the object of storing
this sugar is, it is almost certain that
Spreckles has hand in it. His alleged
enmity to the Sugar trust is all moonshine.

going to fight corporation of S50,000,00

MACKAY AND BOULANGER.

The silly Stories About the Millionaire Furn-
ishing the General Money Denied.
Especial to THE misunderstanding dispatch
PARIS, July IA Paris special to the
New York HerGld says the silly season has
begun, and Estaffette, or the man of Jules
Ferry, reproduces the often contradicted
fable about Mr.. Mackay furnishing funds
for the Boulangist propaganda. Some
French helpers are still harping on the
exploded story that the money expended
in the Boulangist propaganda was furn-
nished by Mackay and Mackay's friends.
They now say that Mackay has already
sent 100000 francs in the interest of
General Boulanger, and deposited another
sum of 100000 in bank to the generals
order
Mr.. Mackay's object is declared to be the
realization of an affair inavouable in which
he hopes to make a great deal of money.
Let it be known once for all, and be it
distinctly understood that neither Mr.
Mackay nor any of his friends has sub
scribed one sou to the Boulangist propa-
ganda, or auy other political organization
in France or in Europe. Sensible Amer
leans in America leave politics and all its
dirty work to professional politicians as
they have quite enough to attend to their
own private affairs. AS for Mr.. Mackay,
Just at present he is too busy making
money with mines and cables to waste time
OH either French or American politics. He
could have been Senator years AGO, but he
preferred to mind his own business.

He is disposed to pay him in kind if pos
sible. Muldoon certainly seems TO nave
made himself exceedingly scarce, and IL is
mildly suggested that he is acting on a tlp
given him by the Mississippi official, and Is
keeping out of the way until such arrests
as are contemplated are made.
Norris has endeavored to obtain Inc
names and addresses Of all the persons who
were present at the fight as participants or
spect ators, evidently with view to further
action, but any fear of immediate arrests
seems to be set at rest by telegram from
Governor Robert Lowry, of mississippi
sent Yesterday, which Norris exhibited last
evening 1t read: You need not arrest
and detain the parties as fugitives from
Justice from this state as you suggested
We will await the investigation OF the graud
Jury. Ascertain facts as instructed and
report to me. Further instructions mailed
you yesterday"
Norris denied that Mitchell promised him
$3.50, which he failed to pay, and says the
reason he wants to arrest the Engllshnan
is because he believe he intends to leave the
country. Norris says that nothing further
will be done in the matter how until the
Mississippi grand jury meets IN September,
then, he asserts, about eighty men VINO
were at the fight will be indicted.
It is said that Mitchell undoubtedly re

THE SWEETS OF LIFE.
The Sugar Trust Preparing to Advance the
Price of Sugar.

The Sugar Trust Preparing to Advance the
Price of Sugar.
Especial to THE HERALD---Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, July 19-Evidences abound
that the Sugar trust is preparing to make
a determined effort to sustain present
prices. For more than two months this
trust has been rushing the storage of sugar
with the Warehouse trust, and to-day
there is scarcely a dry, clean, available
warehouse on the Brooklyn water front
that has not some refined sugar stored in
it. E. b. Bartlett, manager of the Ware
house trust took first innings by filling
one store, then Watson & Pierrepont's
stores came in for a share. There is every
reason for believing that to-day there are
at least two hundred thousand barrels of
refined sugar in the warehouses between
Fulton and Wall street ferries.
About five weeks ago the empty ware
houses around the Atlantic basin came in
for a share. There are over forty thousand
barrels stored in Findlay's stores, and
5000 barrels in the Commercial wharf
The north stores are practically filed
and for the past week enormous quantities
of sugar have been put into Findlay's
stores, south OF the entrance to the basin.
There is very little doubt that the combine
is preparing to squeeze the market by still
further advancing the price of this neces-
sary of life.

A Feud in Alabama.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 19.-FOr several
years feud has existed between the
families of Simpson and Howton, of this
county. 1t began by Tim Simpson killing
one of the Howtens. Simpson was re-
leased on bail, which he subsequently for
feited, and $500 reward was offered for his
capture.
The next tragedy was the death of one
of the Howtons by being shot from ambush
as he was riding along the road. Recently
the officers have been trying to arrest
Tim Simpson. Tonight Sheriff Glenn
Scraggins and ". b. Morgan, with
the assistance of two of the Howtons
surrounded Simpson in gin house near
Mud creek, where he was with other men
till daylight. Tim came out looking
around, and was promptly told TO throw up
his hands and surrender. Instead of doing
so, he rushed around the building with a
bullet in his head, from which he fell dead
almost instantly. Two shots were fired
from the house, killing Deputy Assistant
Morgan.
The inmates of the house, whoever they
ere, defy arrest. J. S. Howton came to
birmingham for assistance, leaving Scrag-
gins on guard. The sheriff here at once
dispatched seven deputies, armed with
Winchesters, to the scene of difficulty.

Charley Mitchell Prefers Canada.

NEW YORK, July ia sporting extra
this evening prints an item TO the effect
that Charley Mitchell, the English pugilist
with Mike Donovan, has skipped to Canada,
rather than run the risk Of arrest in the
city where he has lew friends among the
sporting men who would help him at Il
pinch, and he decided to cross over into
her maiesty's dominion.
When Mitchell arrived from the west on
Monday he went, in company with Frank
Stevenson, it is said, to the law Office of
Peter Mitchell. The two were soon closeted
with the lawyer, and in the conversation
that followed Mitchers fears of arrest
were fully stated. On Tuesday he kept
well under cover, awaiting developments.
The arrival of Detective Norris with a
reauisition from Governor Lowry, of Mis-
sissippi, increased Mitchelfs fears, and
another secret visit was paid to his coun
sell When it was learned beyond doubt
that Norris was bent on arresting the
trainer of Kilrain, and that the New York
police were assisting him, Mitchell's fears
were undisguised. He saw in prospect a
long term of Imprisonment in a strange
country, and decided to Leave, which he
has done.
