SPRECkELS VS.. TRUST.
Sugar May Go Lower on Bitter
Fight.

New YORK. Aug. A bitter fight
was begun to-day by the sugar trust
against Claus Spreckels, who has been
a thorn in the side of the sugar refners
on this coast for many years. About
ten days ago the president of the sugar
trust was called away from the city by
the ultimately fatal illness of his father,
f. c. Havemeyer. While he was away
the sugar trust maintained its price for
granulated sugar. but Claus SpreckelS.
, who had been keeping his rates up to
those charged by the trust, at once an
nOunced a reduction of l-16c per pound.
He cut seriously into the trade of the
sugar trust, but no action to meet the
cut was taken. as it was believed that
as soon as Spreckels' supply was placed
lie would retire from the market. He
kept on filling orders, however, and
practically supplied all demands.
Yesterday President Havemeyer re-
turned and at once ordered the sugar
trust price for granulated sugar reduced
&c per pound, or 1-16 below that made
by Spreckles. The latter to-day made
another reduction, bringing his price
1-16 below that of the trust. The
reduction made brings the price CT
granulated sugar down to &C per pound
in Philadelphia, on which per cent is
allowed off, making the net cash price
3.92-1OOc, the lowest on record. The
price named by the sugar trust is 1-16c.
In August, 1889, after the formation OF
the trust, sugar sold at SIC per pound.
A curious feature of the fight is that id
the raw sugar market both parties are
urgent buyers. and the sugar trust to-
day bought raw sugar at 5-16c. This
brings the profit of refining down to a
very low point

People of Color Have Fun With
Themselves at Nfinnetonka.
From accounts which reached the city
last night it would appear that the col
ored Odd Fellows picnic which was
held at Spring Park, Lake Minnetonka,
yesterday was a wildly hilarious and
recklessly exciting affair. 1t appears
that blind pig was in active operation
during the entire day, and that the
picnickers visited it frequently. Dur
Ing the afternoon one of the
young women in attendance grew
tired of dancing, and whipping out
silyer-mounted revolver cleared the
platform with the terSe and pertinent
declaration that she could "break up
any picnic that ever came Off" Later
i'll the day several white women of
doubtful character endeavored to force
their society upon the party, but this
the satfrOn-hued and chOcOlate-colored
damselS resented, and hair-puliing
was intensely interesting. But the
grand climax came when the party
boarded the train to come home at 9:3O.
Two of the white women had succeeded
in enSnaring couple Of the colored
gallantS, and were just beginning to ell
Joy themselves when two of the ladies
of the party decided to cut in and make
it lively for them.
They made all attack, and in few
moments general go-as-you-pleaSe was
in full progress, nearly every person in
the car becoming more or less involved
in it. RaZors, revolvers and knives were
freely tiourlShed, and for few moments
the scene was merry one. Finally the
more peaceably inclined of the passen-
gers succeeded in stopping the fracas,
and a deputy sheriff, John Sterrett
who happened to be present, arrested
several of the principals. in response
to telegram, posse of police met the
train at the union depot and took charge
of the two cOlOred women who started
the fracas. Sterrett had also arrested
several men. but they escaped before
the tram reached the city. The police
are now looking for them. AS far as
can be learned, they are John Samuels,
a gambler, and two men by the name of
AL Buckley,a waiter at the West, and the
other porter in the employ of Janney,
Temple d Co. The women who were
arrested are Matte Brown, the keeper
of a notorious bagniO in st. Paul, and
Laura Miller, questionable character
of this city. AT last accounts Matte
was sitting quietly in her cell smoking
big cigar. Several persons were cut
and bruised in the melee, but as far as
could be learned none of them We're
dangerously wounded.

OBJECT TO IDOLS.
Church Workers Protest Against
the Japanese Exhibit.


Manager Bracket, of the exposition, re-
fuses to state definitely as to whether
the pressure that is being brought to
bear by the local ministers will, in any
manner. affect the exposition'S policy
toward the Japanese exhibit. A number
of communications were received yes
terday by the management in relation
to the affair that were signed by well
known church workers, and expressed
great Indignation that the worship of
idols should be permitted under the
roof of building controlled by Chris
tianS. Some even demanded, in the
name of the church, that the disgrace
fuP' plan should at once be abandoned.
The exposition management finds it.
self in an uncomfortable situation. 1t
is impossible to state just where the
affair will end. Although no statement
has been made, it seems probable that
the management will challenge the
right of the church to Interfere with
their arrangements.

GIVE US MONEY.
Work on the Big Building VIII
Probably Have to StOD.

The board of court house commission
ers is in sore financial straits. 1t wants
money, and there is no money. Work
on thebuilding will probably be stopped
until spring. The flatness Of the boards
purse is due to failure to sell the $500, GOO
of 4 per cent bonds recently issued.
There is no market for bonds. Some of
the largest cities in the country, as ST.
Louis, Cincinnati and Boston, have been
unable to sell their bonds bonds, too,
that bear higher rates of interest than
do those of Minneapolis, payable in gold
at that.
The report of the treasurer of the
board, submitted yesterday, showed
that there is but the small sum of
50, 149.2S on hand. The outstanding in
debtedness of the board is S95, $50, leav
ing a deficit of 1913, 409.6S. For over two
hours yesterday morning the commits
sioners discussed this question of fl
nance. Finally on Commissioner Ma
reck's suggestion the proper officers
were empowered to make a loan of S10,-
600, secured by bonds. Commissioner
De Laittre alone opposed it. He wanted
the suspension of work ordered, Later
in the session he brought that matter up
again. His resolution ordering
work suspended was adopted. The
contracts provide that the commission
can order such suspension whenever
deemed necessary. Commissioner Err
ickson brought out another point in the
contracts. The board is liable for any
actual damages accruiAg to the con-
tractors by reason of such suspension.
Erickson urged that the stoppage of
work would entail hardship upon the
contractors where they have good deal
of machinery on the ground. There is
also good deal of iron work on the
way here. 1t must be paid for on its
arrival. De Laittre's resolution order
ing the cessation of work was reconSid-
cred. The commission will get the
contractors together tomorrow and
talk it over.
1t was ordered on motion of E. NJ
Johnson, that 100000 OF AZ per cent
gold bonds be issued. The board
hopes for better success in selling
them.
Another communication was re.
ceived from Long and Kee. They OBJ
ject to the construction put upon the
contract by Judge Fish. Under it they
won't receive any more money for a
year. The attorney of the board was
ordered to examine the matter.

utized to 90 before the tax commits

Here he was interrupted by DIR.
Chase, who fastened to explain that he
had had no personal reference to the
mayor, and did not desire that he should
think that such was the case.
81 simply judged you by what you
said," replied the mayor.
DR.. Chase then explained that he had
meant to say that if the health and hos
pitfalls committee or the supervisors or
the poor had ever discussed Mrs. Bard. S
removal they had done so without his
knowledge and not at his re-
quest. This explanation was accepted
and the board resumed its business.
The committee on salaries reported
recommending that no changes be
made in the workhouse or city hospital
pay rolls. An assistant city physician,
at 81, 800 year, to be known as police
surgeon, is to be appointed. This is
with the new law and provide for
Police Surgeon Gibson. The superln-
tendent of the poor will be given $1,000
year for extra services, i'll addl-
ton to the 5000 allowed him in the act.
The report also advises that the chap
lain at the wOrkhOuSe be done away
with. This deprives Rev. William Will
kinsOn of $500 per year. The report was
adopted.
Jetferson's code of parliamentary
practice was adopted, and the follow
ing order of business was decided upon
for all REGULAR meetings:
Reading of minutes, reports of stand
ing committees, reports of special com,
lnittees, reports of officers. unfinished
business, new business.
The following are the standing COM
mittees of the board:
On poor department, on hospitals, on
workhouse, to consist of two members
each. with the president of the board as
a third member eX-officiO.
Commissioner Cloutier stated that all
bids for the new city hospital site had
been laid on the table for the reason
that the board had no fund available for
this purpose.

The Humane society held a meeting
yesterday, at which it was decided that
the firms dealing in mill wood are over
loading their teams. At present the
teams are required to haul three loads
of dry wood or two loads of green wood.
and the society holds that this should
be changed to two loads of dry, or one
of green wood.
A committee was appointed to see

change. Laudatory resolutions upon
the death of Thomas W. Wilson. late
