Sugar Trust Investigation Report

ALBANY, n. Y, April 30.-The senate
committee this morning submitted vol
luminous report on the Sugar trust invest1-
cation. 1t speaks of the 10 per cent. divi-
dends and fabulous valuation placed upon
the stock of the constituent corporations,
The report says it was plainly one Of the
chief purposes of the trust to provide for
the issue of certificates affording oppor-
tunity for great speculation. obviously to
the advantage of the persons managing the
trust and to the disadvantage of the gen.
eral public, who were ignorant of the Sc
crets of the trust. Referring to the refusal
of the trust officials 30 show the books, the
report says it is Tor the people to deter
mine whether the refusal was because these
books would show the trust was using the
combination for illegal purposes.
The report questions whether the enorm-
Gus dividends have been earned in the legiti-
mate refining of sugar and calls attention
TO the widespread speculation in securities
1t is recommended that legislation be had
restraining the formation of trusts as hos
tile TO the people, or providing for their
formation under the supervision of the
state; that they be compelled to keep books
for account or that copies in the state be
subject to examination by duly appointed
accountants.

BALTIMORE, April 30.-One of the most
intelligent and interesting insights yet
given into affairs in Chilli is contained in
private letter received by Baltimore mer-
chant from prominent American resident
of Santiago. The letter says 'Since the
18th of January we have had no regular
knocked endways by the revolution. The
rebels depended upon public propaganda,
and at the commencement of the fight had
very little organization. But through the
manipulations of less than a dozen of the
navy officers they got possession of the
feet. Otherwise they would not have had
a shadow of chance. Now the struggle
is going to be long, bitter and bloody
one, and may eventuate in dividing the

Interpretation of the constitution that
would assimilate matters somewhat to the
United States system, while the opposition
contended for the English parliamentary
system. The result is that the rebels have
the sympathy and support of every Eng

Yankees are sympathizers with the govern
ment. Since the revolution commenced

has been kept constantly on the alert look

here is very interesting. You find the con-

numbers of the good fathers, taking an &C

the extreme radical or anti-church party,
and with Free Masons. Widely as they
differ they seem to find common bond of

PEACEFUL MAY DAY
Dispatches From Many European
Points Indicate It.
PREPARING FOR THE WORST
TIL Labor Agitation Has Penetrated to the
Remotest Villages-The Eight-H0ur
Movement Among the Miners.

LONDON, April 30.-Dispatches from
many points on the continent indicate q
peaceful May day, although the powers are
preparing for the worst. Questions Of
workingmen's rights and grievances are
much more widely discussed than year
ago and have reached the most secluded
villages in France, Spain. Germany and
Italy. The manifestoes of Socialists every
where are revolutionary in tone, a fact
which worries the authorities. Through
out civilized Europe the pro
letariat mobilizes and acts in
touch with the American movement.
This worldwide unison is partly spontane-
Gus and partly organized and imparts sig
niticance and gravity to to-morrow's dem
onstrations. In Paris, the Socialists will
present petition for eight hours and
other requests to M. Floquet, if they can
get a hearing. Some Socialist memorials
breath belicose sentiments and the An
a1chists appeal to the troops to assist them
in a revolt. One manifesto proclaims that
the time has come for the helots of So
ciety to arise, sieze dynamite, des-
troy their oppressors, burn pre-
lectures, banks, palaces, prisons,
etc. The Anarcnistic organization, Pere
Pernard, biuntly states to- morrow's plans,
saying the Anarchists will wait for a
chance row in the streets and il ole occurs
they will join and fight to kill or die. The
troops have been heavily reinforced and
the main streets are being patrolled to
enable the troops to act promptly. The
programme is the same in all the cities OF
France.
Throughout Germany the proposed man.
ifestations create no disquiet. The troops
have been confined to their barracks and
the police generally directed to show toIer-
alton. In Hamburg broad latitude is given
the workmen, who will have great pro-
cession.
In Vienna, the workingmen propose to
march 100000 men to the Prater, where
they will group around speakers and in
case of disorder, dispense.
In Rome, no uneasiness is manifested,
but in Naples a semi panic prevails, owing
to the Anarchists threats to blow up pub
lie buildings with dynamite. Anarchist
menaces in Milan, Pavia and Turin have
forced the government to adopt severe
measures of repression.
In Belgium, the workingmen will send
delegations to the cham 5ers to demand uni
versal suffrage and eight hours, Troops
will be kept on duty all day.
In Madrid. and other cities IN Spain and
Portugal, the workmen will suspend work,
but no particular demonstration is to be
made. Troops are under arms everywhere.
Monday has been set as the time fol
labor demonstrations in Holland and Eng
land. 1t is expected 10000 will take part
in the demonstration in Hyde Park
London. Advices late tonight from Paris
state 1000 policemen and 10000 troops will
be on. duty in Paris tomorrow. kilograms
from the mining districts report great agi
tation and threats of general strike.

Ohio Miners and the Strike.

COLUMBUS, April 30.-The determination
of the executive board of the United Mine
Workers in resident state organizations to
defer strike in the interest of an eight
hour-labor day, does not seem to have been
definitely settled question even among
the miners of Ohio. The executive board
made proposition to the operators to con-
tinue at the old rate for mining and accept
nine-hour day for the coming year be
ginning tomorrow. Operators refuse to
accept unless they can have an assurance
that the agreement will not embarrass
them to such an extent that competing
fields like PENNSYLVANIA will beat them in
the market. The Ohio miners also con-
vened this morning and are considering
the matter. Some of the miner delegates
representing strong districts are dis
appointed over the action of the executive
board in postponing the strike for an
eignt-hour day.

SLAVIN'S DEBUT.
He Makes His First Appearance
in America
At Madison Square Gardens-In the Third
Round He Wins the Favor Of the Audi
ence-Mitcheif Kissed.

NEW YORK, April 3O.-Frank P. Slarin,
the Australian champion pugilist, made his
debut at Madison Square tonight before
an audience of 1000. Upon Billy Madden
introducing him as champion of the world,
cries came from all over the house, mo,
no, Sullivan is champion" Slavin gave a
boxing exhibition with Jim DAILY, of Phila-
delphia. In the first part the crowd was
not greatly impressed With his work, but
in the third round, when Billy tried to get
in stiff punches, Slavin woke up and knocked
him down with left hand smash on the
breast. The bout was then stopped. Slavin
movements changed the previous impress
sion of the crowd. He exhibited much
skill in bout later with Charley Mitchell,
proving himself to make short arm hits
cleverly, but no idea could be formed as to
their force.
Jack McAuliffe and Charley Mitchell
gave an exhibition, during which Jack riled
Charley by severe punch in the stomach.
Mitchell let go a stiff left-hander for Macs
Jaw but it missed and the crowd Kissed the
Englishman.

Without Gloves.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. !
NEW YORK, April 3O.-As general thing
the metropolitan dailies ignore editorialy
the latest announcement that Secretary of
State Blaine will not be candidate for the
presidency in opposition to Mr.. Harrison,
probably because the editors are tired of
discussing the subject. The following men
ton, however, has been made:
COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
''In the editorial columns of Frank Leslie's
Illustrated newspaper, of which President
Harrison's son is part owner and part
editor, we learn officially Mr.. Blaine will
not run for the presidency in 1892. While
information as to the Presidents candi-
dacy for denomination is discreetly yelled,
the announcement is plainly enough to be
read between the lines that Mr.. Harrison
will be the candidate. We think, however,
that no official announcement from the
Presidents household or anywhere else
was necessary to establish the truth of this
forecast. The indications have been plain
all along thst Mr.. Blaine will not consent
to the nomination, largely because of the
more or less precarious condition of his
health, but not less for other reasons"
THE TIMES: aze
'tMr. Russell B. Harrison is young and
impetuous, and we have heard rumors that
his sometimes makes mistakes, but he now
stakes his professional reputation as a
weekly illustrated journalist upon the
statement that Mr.. Blaine will re-
fuse to be candidate for
the presidency next year. Frank Leslie's u
Illustrated newspaper, of which young Mr..
Harrison is one of the owners and direct
ors. is understood to be the organ of the
state. The family instinct and persisting
family ambition are strongly developed in
young Mr.. Harrison, and it is clear from

able effect of Mr.. Blaine's Spartan self-de-
NAL upon the designs of his parent is up.
permost in his mind. We hope Mr.. Blaine
! has not deceived the too trusting son of the
| President. If the secretary of state should
put forth another Florence letter with all
the forms of solemnity and then proceed as
he did in 1883, from the top Of Mr.. Car
negie's coach and elsewhere, to devise
plans for capturing the nomination, he
would arouse in the bosom of the Presi-
dent doubts as to the future of his secre-
tary, which, in his capacity of Presbyterian
elder, he is theologically free to entertain,
but which in his capacity of man of feeling
he would desire resolutely to dismiss. But
young Mr.. Harrison's announcement is
bound to cause much suffering anyhow.
Think for moment of the situation of For.
aker and Clarkson and the Republican
league berefu of their candidate in the rosy
morning of their campaign, even as Mr.
Dana was bereft of his Hill.n

precedence be given the Irish land bill over
all order days proposed except the day
which the government was pledged to give
to the woman suffrage debate. Sir Henry
James, Union Liberal, opposed any excep-
ton being made and moved that the land
bill be taken Up every day until through

by many Conservatives opposed TO woman
suffrage and carried, 31S to 159, amid oppo-
sition cheers.
