A CORNER IN SUGAR.
Another Scheme by the Rich to Make Life
burden for the Poor.

New York, July 22--A belief that the
vast quantities OF refined sugar that have
been piled up in the big warehouses along
the Brooklyn water front during the past
two years has been corralled in the view
OF squeeze by the managers OF the suga,
trust, has found many supporters in
financial circles. Though for some time
! past the fact that there was u pilling up
OF the commodity was generally known,
! it was supposed to be owing to q scarcity
| OF room in the refining buildings, The
| liavemeyer Il Elder, Hayemeyer 4
| Mathieson and Wechers companies, the
apparent controlling spirits OF the trust,
were the most extensive storers. On the
Stock Exchange the opinion prevails TO-
day that the trust has been engineering
Il corner in sugar and that ere long the
price OF the refined article will be sent up
like rocket.
Tho wholesale grocery houses and
other consumers of the article in this city
have evidently anticipated this alleged
movement on the part OF the trust. For
months back every available inch Of
storcroom 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 the winter supply of canned
goods, have been engaged by the whole
salers for sugar storage. On the other
hand, Wall street sugar brokers-those
who will talk on the subjetc-hold that
the trust has stored sugar because there is
no market for it. The prices have struck
bottom and the reiiners can realize no
profit on their manufacture. 1t has been
suggested that possibly the sugar has
been accumulated to undermine Claus
Spreckels when he got his Philadelphia
beet product refinery in operation. That
it was the intention to swamp the market
with the genuine article at a low price as
soon as Sprcckels turned out his first
cargo.
In answer to this theory, q member OF
one of the prominent sugar concerns in
Wall street, but with no affiliations with
the trust, said to-day Whatever the OBJ
ject of storing this sugar is, it is almost
certain that Spreckles has q hand in it.
His alleged enmity TO the sugar trust is all
moonshine. No one on the inside sup
poses for an instant that he is going to

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The Civil-service
Commissioners are at work upon their sup
Elementary report in relation to the con-
duct Of affairs in the postoffice at Milwau-
kee. This report will be ready for pre-
sentation to the President upon his return
to Washington. and if he does not come
back this week, as now seems likely, it is
probable that it will be sent TO him at
Deer Park. Postmaster Paul, the Milwau-
kee official, was censured by the full board
of commissioners on account of his action in
permitting violations of the law in the
selection of civil-service employees. He
was not satisfied with the findings of the
commissioners, and created a great rumpus.
although their report did not recommend
his removal. Commissioner Roosevelt pro-
ceeded to Milwaukee again. and made
further examination. While the result of
this has not yet been made public, it is
generally understood here that Postmaster
PauPs removal will surely follow IT'S publi-
cation, and that postmaster Will be ap-
pointed for Milwaukee who will be more
likely to keep himself strictly within the
limits of the law. But for Mr.. Paurs ex-
citement, it is probable that he would
have been allowed to remain TO complete
his term. As it is, he is certain to be asked
to step down and out.

ALLEGED HUGE SWINDLE.
Warehouse Receipts for Wheat Said to Have
Been Fraudlently Used to Large Extent,

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 15.-Stephen +.
Sherman, of the grain commission firm of
Sherman Bros. & Co. Qimitedl. arrived
this afternoon. accompanied by Edward
Michael and James A. Roberts, both at
torneys, the former of whom had been his
companion at sea, the later of whom had
met them in New York and informed them
of the trouble brewing at home. Wilson
II. Sherman has not yetputin an appearance.
and it is said that he is in Ft. Erie. Ontario.
The charges against the firm are briefly
these: Early in July the grain inspector
was informed that the firm delivered bad
wheat, and one of his aids detected ship
Following this came the disclosure that
the hrm had been getting two prices Tor
wheat. Advances had been obtained from
different banks upon warehouse receipts,
which were deposited with the bankers.
and the wheat had been sold and deliv-
cred without taking up the warehouse re-
celpts. There was. conference between
the stockholders who were associated with
the Sherman Bros in business. 1t was
decided Dc it was high time the trutah truth
1t had leaked out that the banks
were having some trouble with the
firm. and that in one instance q check of
$1,000 from G. b. Gaskill, Of the Niagara
Milling Company, of Niagara Falls, to Sher-
man Bros: q Co. had not been used as in
tended. The stories made them believe
that an explanation was needed, and a
message was cabled to Edward Michael,
who was also interested with these gentle
men in the elevator. He replied that s. f.
Sherman would come back at once and ex-
plain. This accounts for their sudden re-
turn.
How great the embarrassment is cannot
be learned. Associates with Mr.. Sherman
in the elevator business state that it may
amount to 100000. and members of the
board say that S300,0O0 is not too large.
They assert the wheat shortages Will reach
at least 100000 bushels. Edward Michael
said to-day that Stephen +. Sherman was
guilty of no crime except that of culpable
negligence. Mr.. Michael claims for Mr..
Sherman that the latter was ignorant of the
double use made of the warehouse receipts,
which is the basis of the dubious specula-
tion. "Where the money is or has gone"
said he. I'VE cannot tell. All We know is
will probably be from S25O.OOO to $500, 600.
But eyeey dollar will be paid"
