THE SUGAR TRUST.
Report Of the New York Selate InYeSi-
eating Committee.

ALBANY, April 80. - The Senate Com
mittee this morning submitted voluminOus
report on the sugar trust investigation. 1t
speaks about the ten per cent dividends,
and of fabulous valuation placed upon the
stock of the constituent corporations. The
report says it was plainly one Of tie chief
purposes of the trust to provide for the
issue of certificates affordng an opportunity
for great speculation, oby iously to the adj
vantage of persons managing the trust aud
TO the disadvantage of the general public,
who were ignorant of the secrets of the
trust. Referring to the refusal Of the
trust officials to show the books,
the report says it is for the people to
determine whether the refusal was because
these books would show that the trust was
using the combination for illegal purposes.
The report questions whether the enormous
dividends have been earned in the legitimate
refining of sugar. and calls attention to the
widespread speculation in securities. 1t il
recommended that legislation be had re-
straning the formation of trusts as hostile
to the interests of the people, or providing
for their formation under the supervision OF
the State, and that they be compelled to
keep books of account or true copies In the
State, to.be subject to examination by duly
appointed accountants.

from locomotive and westerly gale famed
the flames SO that by noon the whole forest
south of Pomona was blazing. A change of
the wind saved Absecom from destruction,
but the FIRE was diverted into the midst of
the most valuable young timber in this sec
ton.
BY 2 o'clock the flames had reached
CoROverton and the citizens turned out to
fight them. Their efforts were useless, and
those living on the edge of the town removed
their effects TO the open fields and watched
the houses burn. The greatest excitement
prevailed and for a time it was feared the
whole town was doomed. All the wooded
land in the direction of the shore road was
burned.
Late this afternoon the wind went down
and assisted the efforts of hundreds OF men
to get the FIRE under control 1t was hard
work as water was scarce. The loss on the
timber alone will exceed 100000.

CHICAGO, April 3O.-It is announced this
morning that the accounts OF b. p. Hutch
inson, the missing Board of Trade member,
will be assumed by c. b. COngdOn & Co.
This had the effect of eliminating all specu-
lation as to his open deals and gave the mar-
ket strong opening. Hutchinson was in
Evansville, Ind, yesterday. and is now sup
posed to be in some place between Chicago
and Pensacola, Fla, to which point he pur-
chased a ticket late Tuesday night. De-
tectves are endeavoring to locate him for
the purpose of keeping him from harm. as
his relatives and friends say he is demented.
His departure evidently ends his career on
the Board of Trade. where for many years
he has been the leader Of all grain specu-
lators.
The members of HutehinsOn's family thus
far have received no word from him. His
son Charles said this morning, however,
that his father was in Florida, that he had
traced him as far as Pensacola, and that
detective had been sent to follow him and
guard against accidents. Young Hutchin-
son added that his father, as result of an
examination into his affairs, was found to
be thoroughly solvent.

WASHINGTON. April 30.-The reports Of
the destruction wrought by torpedoes In the
naval operations of the Chilean Government
against the insurgents have arrested atten-
tion Of the naval authorities of the United
States. The use of automobile torpedoes In
actual warfare has been so limited that
their practical value as q weapon of de-
tense has been a matter of considerable
doubt and speculation. The naval authori-
ties of the United States some time ago be-
came convinced thattbe Whitehead torpedo,
which is in use in Chile. is the best one as

gratulate themselves upon the fact that 100
OF these torpedoes are now in process Of
manufacture for use In our navy. IL Is ex-
pected that some Of these toTpedoes will be
ready for delivery to the Government in
August, and that after that date they can be
supplied as needed. The United States

Rev. DR.. George W. Boutwell, rested COM

a final trial will be made tomorrow to
reach the cork by cutting his chest, laying
