NEW YoRK. April 13.-The governors of the

of New Jersey. Many prominent local
Democrats were present. The ex-President
was the chief speaker. and in part said:
1T seems to me that the atmosphere
which pervades this place is ill-suited to
selfish and lgnoble designs; and 1 feel at
this moment that am surrounded by in
tuences which invite patriotic partisanship
and disinterested devotion TO party princi-
ples. If partisan is correctly defined as
one who is violently and passionately de-
voted to party or interest," must plead
guilty to the charge of being a Democratic
partisan, so long as the Democracy is true
TO Its creed and traditions. and so long as
conditions exist which to my understand
ing make adherence to its doctrines sy nony-
nous with patriotism. 1t is an inspiring
thing to know that by virtue of our party
membership we are associated with those
who resist the attempt of arragant polit-
ical power to interfere with the independ-
ence and integrity of popular suffrage, who
are determined TO relieve our countrymen
from unjust and unnecessary burdens; who
are intent upon checking extravaganza in
public expenditures, and who test party
purposes by their usefulness In promoting
the interests and welfare of all the people
of the land.
''The political revolution which accom-
panied the birth of our party was not ac-
complished while the principles of Democ-
racy were kept LAID away in a napkin, nor
was the unanimity of their first acceptance
secured by the senseless and noisy shouting
OF partisan bigotry and the refusal to re-
ceive converts to the faith. No man be-
loved more implicitly In the political in

of the reasons which support the avowed

who now sneer at efforts in that direction

1T seems to me that this is peculiarly q

FIVE YOUNG MEN DROWNED.
Capsized while Crossing the Mississippi in
Skiff-Seven Others Saved.

ST. LOUIS, No., April 13.-About noon, to-
day, five boys CT party of twelve crossing
the river in q skiff from the foot of Spruce
side. were drowned in an eddy. which was
very strong at that time. The boys
were rowing across the river. which
was very much agjtated by the
high wind. The waves were rocking
the skiff from side when suddenly it struck
the dangerous eddy and began to whirl
around and around, Several people on
dangerous position in which the boys were
and called ont for them to be careful. The
warning had scarcely been uttered when
the skiff was seen to turn keel up at one
end by the Mortified witnesses. leaving the
occupants struggling in the water.
The youths who could swim struck out
for the Illinois shore. and three of them
were rescued by the crew on the landing
ferry-boat. The scene was o most exciting
one, and the houndering. stru ggling and
drowning youths presented q aheart-rending
picture to the beholders. Every effort was
mace to save the almost exhausted boys.
but before assistance could be effectually
rendered five of them had sunk to rise no
more. The passengers of the ferry who
can never forget sight so terrible. One
of the most peculiar and at the Same time
touching scenes of the calamity was the
drowning of John Bourg and his faith
full dog, the two disappearing together,
with the mans arms tightly clasped around
the dogs neck. The animal, seemingly the
first to realize the danger. had leaped into
the water and had started for shore, but re-
membering Its master, turned about and
sought him out among the drowning boys.
Bourg threw his arms about the dogs neck
and both disappeared below the water.

SUGAR COMBINE" PERFECTED.


NEW YORK. April 1S.-Reports have been
at the foot of Wall street, that combina-
tion had been formed between the Sugar
Trust, all the Eastern refiners and the
Wholesale Grocers' Association to acquire
complete control of the sugar trade. 1t
is known that negotiations have been
pending between the independent refiners.
the Sugar Trust and the Wholesale dealers
to handle all the sugar refined in this coun-
try and to boycott the refined sugars of
foreign countries. So far the deal has re-
suited only In an association of refiners.
1t is stated to-day that Claus Spreckles,
l.. G. knight, Harrison & Frazer, and all
the independent sugar rehners have en-
tered into an agreement with the trust to
work in harmony with its managers and to
produce only their pro rata share of the
entire production, which will be limited to
the sales made in advance by the wholesale
grocers.
One of the largest sugar-deales in the city
said, in reference to this agreem mt: The
refiners are now making O profit OF only
1I5 cent per pound on the sugar handled by
them. They are restricted TO this profit be-
cause, at 80 cent per pound between the
cost of refined and the selling price, foreign
beet sugar would come to the market In
such quantities as to prevent the placing of
the product of the American refneries. To-
day kilograms have been received asking
for quotations on German beet sugar, ana
that article, favored as it is by a high
bounty to the producer from the German
government. is looming up promptly as a
menace to the refining business here. OF
this German granulated sugar 10,520 bags
of 224 pounds each have arrived at New
Orleans, and % bags of pa pounds
each, and 25 casks of 1900 pounds
each have arrived at New York. There
will be no attempt TO boycott it. however,
but the individual retiners ana the trust,
acting together. will take whatever steps
they deem necessary to prevent it or any
other foreign refined sugar finding mar
ket here. The deal made is one similar to
that formed in the tobacco trade. The
Western Association of Wholesale Grocers
is not in it, but the Wholesale grooers OF
the Middle States and of the Eastern
States have joined with the refners to an
extent so as to become the exclusive
agents of their refined sugars. The report
is untrue that any arrangement exists in
the Western States between grocers and
refiners. At the East the Wholesale gro
GERS have had an arrangement among
themselves for the last two years for the
sale of refined sugars. and are simply ex
tending it at the present time."

IL 1t Is offered to Him.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Since the return
of Secretary Proctor yesterday morning
there has been great desire to obtain some
authoritative statement from him concern
ing the rumor that he was about to resign
for business reasons, and also whether or
not he would consent to be q candidate for
the United States Senate to succeed Sem
ator Edmunds This evening, in response
to repeated inquiries. he finally made the
following statement to the representative
of the Associated Press:
Il have been absent from Washington
for a month on the business of the depart
ment. and have returned in the regular
course of my trip. having simply timed my
return so as to see the President before he
leaves the city tomorrow. All rumors that
have any present intention of resigning are
without foundation. As to my business in
terests. have none which require my at
tention, or to which / should give any con-
siderable attention if ! were out of

me to say that my relations with the
President and my associates are, as they
always have been. OF the most agreeable
and harmonious character. With respect
TO the senatorshIp. | find on my return, by
receipt of letters and press comments from
Vermont, that a good many of my friends
are anxious that should succeed Senator
Edmunds. The position of Senator from
my State has for a good many years been
somewhat unique. and it is not aud

must naturally have been, with the great
est regret, and who for twenty-five years

the country.

fered to me, with the hearty approval and
good will of the people of the State. l
should scarcely feel at liberty to decline
the honor and the opportunity to serve
them who have SO many times showed their
confidence in me. But the Senator'S resig-
nation does not take effect until next o.

Page has plenty of time to carefully weigh
the matter. and take such action as he
deems to be best for the interests of the
State and most in accord with the wishes

WILMINGTON, April 13-Count Lewen-
haupt, who recently married Miss Bayard,
died suddenly at his home. No. 1Ol7 Adams
street, in this city, shortly after O'clock
this morning. His illness was short and
no one outside of his immediate family was
aware that his life was in peril until the

states that Count Lewenhaupt had been
indisposed for the past two or three weeks

tary of State Thomas +. Bay ard took place
at noon on April 2. little moro than q week
ago. at the Bayard homestead "Delamore
Place." in Wilmington. Count Lewenhaupt

quested his friends to drop his title when
addressing him. He was a very popular
man in society circles and his marriage
with Miss Bayard was considered an ex-
tremely happy one. Directly after the
wedding breakfast. the Count and Countess
Lewenhaupt went to their home where he,
early this morning, passed peacefully to his
death. 1t was their intention to remain
here until May 1 when they were to have
