ExECUTIONERs EXECUTED.
Four Anarchist Assassins Overtaken by
RatrihutiOn.

Four Anarchist Assassins Overtaken by
Retribution.
BERLIN, April 8.-Near Kosreleg, q
village in Prussia, DR.. Poninsky, a high
Polish ecclesiastic, was waylaid by four
men and riddled with bullets. A num-
ber of villagers pursued the assassins
and after desperate fight killed two of
them and the two remaining murderers,
seeing that escape was impossible, took
their own lives. On each body was
found red ticket with the words Exc
cution committee, Polish Anarchists,
on it. DR.. Poninsky had incurred the
wrath of the Anarchists by his utter
ances, and was murdered in conse-
quence.
Some persons assert that the assassins
were nothing but common robbers, who
took the advantage of the prevailing
excitement caused by the Anarchist
outrages, to use cards signed Commit
tee of Polish Anarchists" for the
purpose of frightening DR.. Poninski
into surrendeling money, OF which he
was known to have large sum in con-
nection with his position in the church.
The authorities, however, are searching
in every direction, and ifit should prove
true that the four assassins were really
Anarchists, it is thought the whole
band of conspirators will soon be ar
rested

THE TRUST TREMBLING.
Warfare Against the Sugar Monopol
Beginning to Tell.

PHILADELPHIA, April S.-From infor-
nation received by Philadelphia firm
which handles and distributes large
quantities Of refined sugar, it appears
that the sugar trust is beginning to fear
the results of the determined war
fare which has been inaugurated against
it by the wholesale grocers all over the
country, especially those of Philadel-
phia and New York. The grocers are
said to be interested in proposed new
refineries here and on Staten island.
The big corporation has so far conde-
scended to notice the movement as to
offer the importing grocers OF Philadel-
phia table of rebates, by which they
will be able, if accepted, to get small
profit on the sugar they handle.
A meeting with closed doors was held
by number of importing grocers yes
terday for the purpose of considering the
advisability Of accepting or rejecting
this proposition. So far as can be as
certained no definite conclusion was
reached.
Philadelphia dealers are getting let
teYs from all over the country to keep
up the fight, and that dealers in Chica-
go, Cincinnati, New Orleans, st. Paul,
Denver and all other commercial and
manufacturing cities will stand by
them.
A morning paper says: "From the
most accurate data obtainable it is
learned that since the first intimations
were made that a bill looking to re-
peal OF the tariff on sugar would be
taken before congress, the stock of the
American Sugar Refining company has
experienced shrinkage of nearly nine
million dollars. The net profit now on
2,600,0 900 tons, which is the minimum
annual production of the trust, is $25,-
$50, 300 With the tariff off refined
sugar, the net profit on the same amount
would be $40, ,237 800 The actual value
of the sugar trust properties is about
$35, 900, 900, which allows rate of profit
on the actual valuation of 1908 per cent.

OFFICER DUNN'S SCRAP.
He and an Electric Car Conducor Fall
Out.

He and an Electric Car Conducor Fall
Out.
Officer E. j. Dunn last evening ar
rested Conductor Satterwhaite of elec-
trio car No. 6, East Los Angeles line,
and locked him up for disorderly con-
duct. Before he did so, however. he
gave the conductor sound drubbinp
with his stick, and complaint for bat
terry will probably be sworn to this
morning against the officer. The story
of the case is one extending over Pc
riod of several weeks.
Nearly month ago, Officer Dunn, who
is stationed at Temple and Spring
streets. where he is expected to watch
over the lives of citizens against the
dangers offered by cars running around
the curves, had little trouble with tn g
motorneer OF an electric car, of which
Satterwhaite was the conductor. The
officer had received orders to allow no
two cars going in opposite direc-
tions to run around the curve
at the same time. On this occasion a
cable car was coming from Downey ave-
nue., and the electric car was going in
the other direction. Dunn motioned
the motorneer to stop, but received.
reply more forcible than elegant. The
electric car kept on.
The next day, by coincidence, the
motorneer and Satterwhaite were sus-
pended by Inspector McGraw, of the
Consolidated Electric company. Dunn
had made no complaint or report against
the motorneer, and claims that the two
men were suspended for other reasons
than this trouble about the curve.
Ever since then, however, the motor
neer and Satterwhaite have made it a
point to make slurring remarks to Dunn
whenever they passed his post. OF late
Satterwhaite has been in charge of
the car which passes Temple street
at about 5 O'Clock, when Dunn
goes off duty. The officer therefore has
ridden on that car, and every evening
he has been the subject of direct or in
direct attack from the conductor. The
latter made it habit to call Dun n
names in whisper, so that the other
passengers might not hear him. Last
evening Dunn claims that just as he was
about to jump off the car at Second
street, Satterwhaite whispered in his ear,
"You Id curl" That was more than
Dunn could stand. He struck the con-
dnctor with his cane and began to give
him thrashing, when passenger in
terfered and kicked the officer in the
face. Then Dunn took Satterwhite bv
the collar and placed him under arrest.
The conductor left $40 cash bail for his
appearance.

Danger in Reaching Land.

A little boat usually brings its occu-
pants safely within sight of ship or
land. If you are ever cast away by ship
wreck, choose that you may sight a ship
rather than land. Only too often the
fierce storm is weathered and the hope
full crew sail over hundreds of miles Of
sunny seas, almost as if on a pleasure
trip, until the glad sight of land greets
their eyes and their troubles seem but a
dream of the past, when suddenly they
are plunging through mass Of white
and broken water, and amid the roar Of
crashing waves the little boat is lifted
and twisted and flung about till dashed
into fragments upon jagged rocks, while
those survivors of terrible storm and
shipwreck, Of uncounted miles of open
ocean, are thrown upon the sunny beach
which gladdened their hearts, cruelty
battered or perhaps even lifeless! AL
most always, too, this is due to their not
knowing how to handle their boat at
this crowning, critical moment when but
a few hundred yards remain of thou
sand mile journey from ship to shore

WAS 1T SUNSTROKE?
The Record of Southern California at
Last Broken

Last Broken.
1t has always been claimed that in
spite of the high temperature which is
sometimes reached here, there has never
been case of sunstroke in the city.
The record was broken yesterday after
noon. At about 2 O'Clock telephone
message was received at police head
quarters asking that the patrol wagon
be sent at once to No. 927 Date street.
Officer Sites responded to the call,
and when he reached the place desig-
mated, he found that a little boy Of 7
had been taken there suffering from
what the attending doctor called sun
stroke. The little fellows father is
the driver of an oil-tank wagon, and
took his boy with him on his route yes.
terday. The sun was burning hotly
down upon the two, and while they
were driving down Date street, the boy
suddenly fell off the seat IN dead
faint. The father luckily caught the
boy before he could fall to the street.
The child was carried to No. 927, a
neighboring doctor was called, and re-
storatives were applied. Officer Sites
then took the little patient to his home
at Jackson and Alameda streets. Last
evening the boy was pronounced out OF
danger. The police records do not
show the name of either the boy or the
doctor who attended him.

MELBOURNE, April SIT is believed
that the trial of Deeming will prove one
of the most interesting that has ever
taken place anywhere in the world. As
stated in these dispatches, the defense
will be insanity, and many experts will
be called to testify as to the species of
madness with which his counsel claims
he is afflicted. No claim has yet been
made by the defense that Deeming did
not commit all the murders attributed
to him. In fact, his counsel, by his
tacit admissions at the coroner's
inquest, shows that he be-
lieves his client is at least guilty
OF killing his wife. with which murder
he is charged. but claims that owing to
congenital influences, he is not respon-
sible for his homicidal mania. Efforts
will be made to procure a prolonged
adjournment of his trial, in order to en-
able witnesses to come from England to
testify as to the state of the prisoner g
mind when he was boy.

SACRAMENTO, April Governor Mark
ham returned last night from an inspec-
tion of the state institutions. He ex-
pressed himself as we'll pleased with the
general management of the institutions,
but saw many ways where the state
might profit by economies. He recon-
mends an exchange of surplus COM
modities between institutions. The gov
ernor disapproves the contract system of
supplying public concerns, and thinks
the state would save money by going
into the market and purchasing sup
plies when necessary. The governor
found that more than one.half of the
supplies used in the state institutions
came from the east.
The governor expressed himself
against calling an election for con-
gressman to succeed McKenna, and
thinks the people Of the district do not
want an election, as the session of con-
gress is so nearly out.

Correspondence Regarding Ohina's OBJ
lection to Him as Minister.
WASHINGTON, April S.-The senate to-
day made public the correspondence
transmitted by the president touching
declination of the Chinese government
to receive Hon. w. E. Blair as United
States minister. The correspondence
begins with cablegram from the gov
ernment to the Chinese minister, say
ing Blair bitterly abused China while
in the senate, and was conspicuous in
the passage of the exclusion act; there
fore China deemed it inexpedient to re-
ceive him, and requested to have q per-
soma grata appointed instead.
June 18th, in an interview with the
Chinese minister, Assistant Secretary OF
State Wharton suggested that perhaps
his government acted without full knowl-
edge, and requested reopening of the
case for consideration.
June 21st, Blair, in letter to Whar-
ton, denies abusing China or the Chi
nese, and asserts that he had always
been their friend.
June 22d Blair rendered his resigna.
ton.
June 23d, the Chinese minister re-
piled to Wharton's suggestion, saying
the viceroy desired him to state that
Blair was not popularity regarded in
China. The minister recited portions
of Blair's congressional record and
showed the real objection to be resent
ment at the passage of the Scott act,
while treaty was being considered, the
act having very bad effect in China.
The minister said if the president or
secretary of state would repeal the law
and put again in force the treaties, the
situation in China would be changed
and Blair would be we'll received, if the
president asked it.
July 9th, Blair withdrew hie fesigna-
tion.
July 18th, Blair writes Wharton that
it appears that it is his sgovernment which
is non grata to the Chinese government,
and that he (Blair) will be received,
when the United States shall have
purged itself of the offense.
The correspondence closes with let
ter from Wharton to DENLY, in which he
says Blair was injuriously misrepre-
sented. Wharton admits the incident
closed so far as Blair is concerned, and
says the president has accepted Blair's
resignation.
