OPPOSING THE SUGAR TRUST.
Merchants in the East Organic ng against
the Great Monopoly.

PHILADELPHIA, ADril 6.-From informa-
tiOn received by Philadelphia firm which
handles and distributes large quantities OF
refined sugar, il appears that the sugar
trust is beginning TO fear the results Of the
determined warfare which has been in
augurated against it by wholesale grocers
all over the country, especially those of
Philadelphia and New York. Grocers are
said to be greatly interested in the pro-
posed new refneres here and on Staten ISL
and, n. Y. The big corporation has so far
condescended to notice the movement as to
offer the importing grocers of Philadelphia
able Of rebates, by which they will be
able. IL accepted, to get a small profit on
the sugar they handle. A meeting with
closed doors was held by number of i'm
porting grocers yesterday for the purpose of
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of accepting or
ascertaned no definite conclusion WAS
reached.
Philadelphia dealers are getting letters
from all over the country to keep I'D the
fight and that dealers in Chicago, Cincin-
nati New Orleans, st. Paul. Denver and all
other commercial and manufacturing citi es
will stand by them.
The morning papers say: From the most
accurate data obtainahlc it is learned that
since the first intimations were made that
bill looking 10 a repeal of the tariff on re-
fined sugar would be taken before Congress
the stock OF the American Sugar Refining
Company has experienced a shrinkage of
nearly S9.000,0O0. The net profit now on
126,GO0,O00 pounds, which Is the minimum
annual production of TIE trust, is 81, ,J00,-

the net profit on the same would amount to

a gridiron In the Southwest to form new
transcOntineDtal line from Denver TO San
Francisco. The line proposed is from Pu-
eblo across the San Luis Valley to Durango.
crossing the Colorado River at the mouth
OF the San Juan River or near that po!,.t:
The construction Will also be commenced
on the Pacific Coast eastward.
One of the chief aids in the scheme, ii Is
said, will be Timothy Hopkins, who recently
resigned the treasurership Of the Southern
Pacific. Mr.. Hopkins has been treasurer
for the company since 1SS3 and has always
been ambitious to become its president.
Certain complications have arisen during
the past year convincing him that he could
never succeed to the presidency, and he
began to look around for a field in which to
cultivate his ambition to become a railroad
magnate. He has, il is claimed, incorpO-
rated the interests and influence of Senator
Fair, and together they will build East.
Senator Fair has the absolute control OF
fine terminal facilities at North Beach.
1t is proposed TO build this line TO parallel
the Southern Pacific down the San Jose Val
ley and then through the Santa Clara Val
ley 10 Fresno. making connection with the
road now being built by POllasky and his
associates, thence up the San Joaquin, cross
ing the Sierra Nevada Mountains at low

then down Carson and Walker rivers into
Nevada, and connecting with the Union Pa

Simpson OF Kansas announced himself as
an absolute free-trader. He is now willing
to cons romise with wrong. He wished TO
see, from selfish standpoint, the Southern
farmer released from every tax. The less
the Southern farmer is robbed the more he
would have left TO buy Kansas corn, so he
favored the bill. 1t was a step toward put
ting everything else on the free list. Simp-

PARIS, April s. - Lieutenant Anastay,
who murdered the aged Baroness Delard
December last, will be executed at o'clock
tomorrow morning. The chief executioner
has received number of threatening letters
from the anarchists.
Anastay has requested his brother, med
ical student, to experiment on his head as
soon as il is decapitated He promised to
reply by movement of his eyes TO certain
questions his brother will ask regarding the
sensations experienced when the knife cuts
the head from his body. The object Of the

murdered On December last. She lived in

Immediately confessed, giving as his mo-
by his necessity for money to save
himself from dishonOr. He said that he
left Lyons in December, determined 70 get
the money, even if he had 10 resort to
crime. as lie had become heavily in debt
through his laviShing large sums of money
and valuable presents on ballet-girt of the
Bella COur Theater named Mile. Gonzales.
Before leaving he purchased knife with
which he committed the murder. Reaching
Paris he went 10 the house of Baroness
Deliard. who recognized him and led him
TO her room. He asked her If she was
alone. and she replying in the affirmative he
threw himself upon her and cut her throat.
He then began to look around for money
and yaluables. but hearing the servant ap-
proaching he waited for her, intending to
Kill her also. In the struggle the knife fell
from his hand, whereupon lie fed without
