spreekels and the Sugar Trust.

The Philadelphia Record says: After
els and the sugar trust have come 10 an
understanding by which there will be no
further competition between them. The
negotiations, which have been going on
for some time, now at New York and
again at San Francisco were virtually
concluded in this city on Sunday. Thco-
dore Havemeyer of New York, president
of the sugar trust, went through the big
refinery of Spreckels on that day and
made careful examination of it. Mr..
Searles OF New York, secretary of the
trust, and other gentlemen Interested in
it, were also in the city, and it Is under
stood that the agreement reached at san
Francisco last week between Spreckels
and J. Craig Hsvemeyer were indorsed.
By this agreement Spreckels is not To
sell his sugar in that part OF the country
east of the Missouri river and the Have
meyers are not to invade the territory
west of the Missouri. The trusts refinery
in San Francisco and that belonging 70
Spreckels are to alternate monthly in
closing and in this way it is expected
regulated that there will be no difficulty
in maintaining prices.
when asked what this agreement b.
tween his father and the trust would have
upon the Philadelphia refinery, Claus
Sprcckeis, Jr., while admitting the com
binatlon in the Pacific coast said THAT
would not affect the refinery here
There has been no combination he
said. by which the production and price
of the Philadelphia refinery viii be regu-
lated according to any understanding with
the trust. The refinery will remain indie
pendent
notwithstanding the assertion OF Claus
Spreckeis, Jr.. thst the Philadelphis re-

IS believed IN the sugar trade that steps
will be surely taken looking to the curtsil

fbe Mystery about Parnell.

The relations OF MIR. Parnell to
Mrs. O'Shea have been rendered more
mysterious than ever by recent reports
No declaration has yet been made oy ME-
Parneil himself nor by any person author-
lied tc speak for either of the persons
concerned that they are 10 be married
when the divorce is made absolute. That
period is now near at hand, and the irienas
of both are anxious that the ambiguous
situation should be cleared up The
state of affairs has led TO the springing up
of crop of rumors damaging 70 the
regulations of both.
These various stories, with more or less
foundation, culminated In the report that
the marriage with Mrs. o'Shea would mol
take place, as Mr. Parnell bad already
been married to another lady.
The lady TO whom MIR. Parneli is said to
havo been privately married -ineo the
o'Shea divorce suit, is the eldest daughter
of Mrs. O'Shea. The uxtrene privacy
with which the ceremony was performed
is attributed to the fact that the young
lady is a ward in chaneery, although she
is 81 Year, of age, The marriage could
not be lawfully solennlzed without the
assent Of the court, and by his action Mr..
Parnell lays himself open to prosecution
Several Parnellite members OF tho
House of Commons refuse to believe,
although they deny any knowledge Of the
facts, that MIR. paruell had unlawful
commerce with Mrs. o'Shea, and that his
secret visits 10 the home Of the o'Sheas
were made for the purpose OF mectsas the
daughter, whom he married with the
consent Of the mother, but. unknown 20
her father.
Other Parnellites, who are supposed 10
know the truth OF the matter when
questioned in regard 10 the marriage
declared their Ignorance OF the whole
affair. Captain o'shea's friends trcat the
story as stupid cAnard.

The Chicago Campaign.

Last Monday night IA remarkably
bitter campaign ended in Chicago Monday
There were live candidates in the race for
mayor and four OF them were supported by
a large following.
The first candidate in the field was FL
mer washburne ex-chief OF police OF
Chicago and ex chief OF the United States
secret service bureau. He was put IN
nomination prior to the holding OF
the regular party conventions, os-
uensibly By an independent citizens
movement but it is understood his chiei
support was primarily from secret or
ganization which claim 10 have 2j,C0C
voters enrolled in its ranks. Its platform,
as understood in his campaign announce
ments, was: The physical and moral
cleansing OF the city. The argument made
in favor OF its candidates is the necessity,
in view of the approach of the World's
Fair, Of putting the city in such n condi-
tion US to clean streets that visitors from
well-kept cities in Europe will not be
shocked and to render the police force sc
efficient that thieves. gamblers and other
criminal classes will not dare to flock tc
tue CITY lE anticipation oA ItstpAug "a ElCu
harvest. To this end, also, it is promised
that the saloons shall be most vigorously
looked after.
There were two Democratic candidates
Dewitt c. Cregier, the present incumbent,
and CarterHarrison, who has served several
terms as mayor Some time before the
Democratic nominating convention was
held, MIR. Harrison began his canvass fof
the nomination, alleging weakness and q
catering to the bad element on the part OF
the existing administration, and promising
reforms in these directions. When the
convention met the Harrison delegation
accused their opponents of frsrd, withdrew
from the convention aud nominated their
favorite, while the others nominated
Cregier.
The Republican convention met and
nominated Hampstead Washburue, son Of
the Eiihu Washburne, minister To France
during the F'ranco-P Prussian war. He
ran on a platform which promised the ap-
piication OF business methods 10 the ad-
uinistration OF city affairs. and the
enforcement Of the police force from poll
tics.

PERHAPS the most potent influence
of all in producing railway disturbances
is the pernicious principle OF imposing
on the local traffic all the burdens of
fixed charges and profits, and regard
ing competitive traffic as something it
is profitable to secure at any charge or
any methods. There is prevailing
tendency to this thing among all roads
And no stronger evidence of this ten
dency need be cited than the formal
assertion of the leading advocates of
the railway school that on competitive

er industries that must run day and

three reliefs of eight hours than they

These long hours wear men out, causes
them to be careless and increase the

cause accidents. Railroads would
probably save enough by avoiding ac-
