Bloody Rioting at IA Louisiana Rail-
road Camp.
ORANGE, Texas, Ang. 4.-Belder Sanders,
who has just returned from Lake Charles
La, confirmed the report of riot at Look,
Moore d Company's railroad. The last ac-
count he heard was from wounded man
who left the scene at four O'Clock yesterday.
He stated that fourteen mon were killed
and two missing. 1t was free
for-nll fight between the 'Redbones''
and Whites" Sanders stated that MANY
different reports were being circulated and
nothing more authentic could DO learned.
Officers and physicians have gone to the
scene. Another account that comes from
West Lake, La, to the effect that the trou
BILE was caused by the breaking out of an
old feud between a band of robbers known
as the Asworth gang and cattlemen in that
section.
Thesreport of the fight sent last night and
to-day was of morning fight. In the after
noon 1t was reported at the store down
the road that "Redbones" desperadoes we're
massacreing women, children and every one
they came across at the camp. Learning
this relnforcements went up from along
the line of the Calicasien. Vermont and
Shreveport road. In going up Il. Il. Swan,
an old and respected citizen of Calicasien,
WAS murdered from an ambush. Excite
ment is running high and more trouble il
expected at any time.

TIME TO BUY SUGAR.

The Trust and Spreckles Engaged In a Bit
ter War.
New YORK, Aug A bitter fight was be-
gun to-day by the sugar trust against Claus
Spreckles, who has been thorn in the side
OF sugar retineries on this coast for MANY
years. About ten days ago the president of
tho sugar trust was called away from the
city by the fatal illness of his
father, +. G. Havemeyer. While he
was away the sugar trust maintained
the price for granulated sugar, but Claus
Spreckles announced reduction of one
sixteenth of cent per pound, cutting seri-
ausly into the trade of tho sugar trust.
Yesterday Havermeyer returned and at once
ordered the sugar trust price reduced one
sixteenth of cent below the cut made by
Spreckles. Tho latter to- day made another
cut, bringing his price one-sixteenth of a
cent below the price asked by the trust,
Reductions made bring the price for pranu
lated sugar down to four cents per pound
IN Philadelphia, on which two per cent
is turned off. making the net cash price 3.y2
cents, the lowest on record. In August,
1883, after the formation of the trust, sugar
sold at S9i cents per pound. The curious
nature of tho fight is that in the raw sugar
market both parties are urgent buyers, and
the Sugar trust to-day bought at s BIC
cents. This brings the profit of refining
down to very low point.

point OF Importance was tho action on the
recent greetings sent by the general seor g.

Affairs in Hawaii.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 4.-Hawai1an adviccs
by ste amship Australia state that Queen
Lilioukalani has rendered Hon. J. Mott
Smith the portfolio of finance vice Wide
mann, resigned, and that he has accepted
it. Costoms statistics show, for the first
SIX months of the present year. that there
was an increase in the exports of sugar
from the islands of $4,000 tons over this
same period in 1890. Most plantations have
finished grinding cane for the season. The
total production of sugar for 1891 is estim-
ated at about 100000 tons. An average re-
dnction of 25 per cent of taxes on sugar
plantations has been granted by the cabinet
as the result of q conference with the plant
ers. who complain of a depreciation in the
value OF sugar. owing to the tariff measure
of the United States.

ASSORTED WOOLS.
Ruling by the Board of Appraisers at
New York.

"A Ruling by the Board of Appraisers at
New York.
New York, Aug. 4.--The board of general
appraisers to-day rendered an important
decision on the construction of paragraph
lS3 on the new tariff act which recently
become the subject of controversy between
the woolerowers of Ohio and carpet manu-
facturers of New England. The opinion ia
that the "sorting classes" referred to in
paragraph 1873 apply to all wools. including
wool of the third class. Sorting
is here, in effect, defined by
the statute to be a process of separation
which increases in value imported wool by
the rejection of part of the original fleece
The phrase ''shall be twice the duty to
which it wool or hair would be otherwise
subjected" means that the duty on sorted
woods (when separated otherwise than as to
color and increased in value) shall be twice
the duty to which the fleece in an unsorted
condition shall be LIABLE" The sorting
or manipulation of woods made to eyade
lawful duties ia a fraud ON the law and sub
jects the merchandise to the penal duties
imposed. The board reverses the COL
lector's decision in both of the cases.
