THE GREAT SUGAR TRUST
Details of the Arrangements

Competition to be Continued

New York, April 4-The Sun says that
the report of an arrangement between the
Havemeyers and Claus Spreckcls TO di-
vide the country into selling districts and
other ways to prevent too sharp cOmpeti-
tion, was received in Wall street today.
Dow, Jones & Co. announced that they
were able to state that the Havemeyers
and Spreckels had formed the Western
Coast Sugar refining company TO refine
sugar in California, local retineries to be-
come the property of the New York com
panv The terms are not stated,
This deal, however, does not apply TO
trade in the East. Spreckles continues
his opposition there just as before. The
deal has nothing to do with the American
Sugar Refining company.
Some time ago the Havemeyers and
Elder bought outright for cash the Cali
fornia refinery, which had previously
gone into the trust. The trust was
Obliged to sell it because of legal compli-
cations, and it consequently figures no
longer in refining operations there. The
Havemeyers and Elder carried on the
business for their private account and
have now made deal with Spreckles on
their own account. Havemeyer said to-
day that he desired to take time before

AFRAID OF THE MILITIA
The Striking Coke Workers
Maintain a Silent and De-
hant Attitude
The Funeral of the Slain Riot
ers Will be a Large
One
Five Companies of Militia are
on the Ground and Pre-
serve Peace

MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April 4-The
situation in the coke regions is not mate
rally changed aud the opinion prevails
that as long as the militia stay there will
be no lawlessness. The feeling among the
strikers is intensely bitter, but they are
careful to commit no overt act and TO con-
tent themselves with scowling at the
militia and murmuring in unintelligible
tongues.
Some apprehension is felt that an 5utf
break Will occur at the funeral Of the VIC
Tins today. Strikers are massing at
Scottsdale, and the largest demonstration
ever held in the coke country is expected.
The funeral will start from Mount
Pleasant at 2:3O and the cOrtege Will
reach Scottsdalc an hour and a half later.
The march to the Catholic cemetery will
then be taken up. Not less than iO,OOO Of
the workers will follow the bodies to she
grave. The bodies will be buried in
long trench.
Every precaution IL being taken TO pre-
vent trouble. Saloons are closed for the
day and five companies Of the Eighteenth
regiment under the command of Colonel
Smith are now on the ground.
From 9 a. m. until 10 o'clock today a
line Of foreigners, about one IN ten Of
whom could speak English, filed around
the bier upon which the dead lay. SObs
and grOans were heard on every side, and
crowds cOlectc about the clothing which
the victims last wore Judging from their
actions they will prove vipers to the men
who did the shooting.
1t Is well known among the citizens that
the liYes of Captain Laucr and his depu
ties will be ia jeopardy should the mill
tary be withdrawn. There is no doubt
that the strikers are determined TO wreak
vengeance eventually on the people who
are responsible for the death Of their
cOuntrymeu.

coke operator, says the outbreak in the
coke regions should be laid at the door Of

ToRTUREs IN MADAGASCAR
Natives Subjected Co Fiendish Treat
ment

mont
LONDON, April 4-On top Of the account
Of the receuJ horrible massacre by the ma
tives Of Madagascar, comes another story
illustrating the ferocity Of these people,
who are nominally under French protec-
tion. 1t tappears that Rannisilfo, governor
of Mohanaro, had an unfortunate native
tortured in the most horrible manner be-
cause he refused to obey him. The victim
was bound to a pole and in that position
paraded through the village for two days.
When freed from the pole he was placed
in a sort of coffin, followed from trunk
of ii tree, and covered with "A plank in
which there was nothing but small hole
about three inches in length for the vic
TINS mouth and nose.
The unfortunate native was kept
screwed down in this coffin for two months
and actually lived during that time. lie
was fed at the aperture, his relatives
being permitted TO give him food. At
length upon the payment Of 100 pias-
tres, the governor allowed the man to be
released
In addition to these brutalities the ma
tives are everywhere aggressive against
the French, and Europeans are not safe
even at the port Of Tamatave. The
question whether or not France Will
enforce its claim of authority on the
island is becoming an important one TO
other nations that have commercial in
tereSts in Madagascar.

made acquainted with the New Orleans

had no intention Of pushing any demands

time was neglect on the part of lhe
United States 20 protect the lives Of the
Italian citizens in America. under the pro-
vision Of the treaty. lie expressed him
self as aware that TO do anything more at
this juncture would be great error ou
his part. as he has great confidence in the
sincerity and justice Of the United States.
Finally he said:
Il shall now simply wait for further de-
tails OF the New Orleans affair, the char
acter of the slain men, of the Louisiana
authorities and Of the intention Of the
United States government; but whatever
these may be, ! am quiie sure that settle
