A.st year has hypothecated receipts

city at q late hour last night, and de-
-ciared his complete innocence. He has
said BOLDLY that he has the money to
meet all his obligations, and defies any
man to show that he has been guilty
of wrongdoing. At a meeting yester-
day OF bankers and whisky men who

made no effort at all to escape coupled
with the severity of the punishment
has led to a suggestion that his mind
may be unsettled. Banks involved for

There seems no doubt now that for
RerY has been committed, and the total
Mum6er of such receipts forged is esti-
mated at 5000 Three theories exist
"a to the guilt One is that Sutton is
the forger. another that it is Cohen, OF
New Orleans, a former agent of Sutton.
and third that it was distiller, now
dead. but once prominent in business
circles. Only the facts that some Of the
receipts bear this mans firm name, and
that he failed just before his death,
connects him with the affair.
The detectives are keeping up their
surveillance. and are only waiting for
the word from some of the banks to lay
their hands on the strongly suspected

Information was received here yes
terday that a bank in Kansas City
holds 5000 worth of the forged re-
-<cipts. Sutton says he bought them in
New Orleans, bnt it is difficult to think
that man would pay out his money
for receipts that nave the evidence of
fraud on their face.

In Regard to the Great Exposition.
CHICAGO. March 31.-President Hig-

erroneous statements in regard to the
fair which have been given wide circu-
lation, yesterday issued the following
statement:

agenent and affairs being in circulation
through the press and otherwise. both in this
country and abroad and in reply to many let
tiers OF inquiry or complaint touching the same
matters. it seems advisable that some official
statement regarding them should be made to
the public. Therefore, respectfully ask that
the widest publicity be given to the following
facts:
First-The exposition will be opened in read1-
ness for visitors on May 1.
Second-An abundance of drinking water, the
best supplied to any great city in the world,
will be provided free to all. The report that a
charge would be made for drinking water prob
ably arose from the fact that hygeia water can
also be had by those who desire it at one cent
glass
Third-Ample provisions for seating will be
made without charge.
Fourth-About 100 toilet-roomS and closets
will be located at convenient points in the
buildings. and they will be absolutely free to
the public. This is as large number in pro-
portion to the estimated attendance as has
ever been provided in any exposition. In addi-
ton to these there will also be nearly an equal
number OF lavatories and toilet rooms OF
costly and handsome character, as exhibits. for
the use of which a charge of five cents will be
made.
Fifth-The admission fee of fifty cents will
entitle the visitor to see and enter all the ex-
hibition buildings, inspect the exhibits. and, in
short. to see everything within the exhibition
grounds except the Eskimo village and the re-
production of Colorado cliff dwellings. For
these. well as for the special attractions on
Midway Plaisance. small fee will be charged.
Sixth-Impostion or extortion OF any de-
scription will not be tolerated.
Seventh-Free medical and emergency hos
pital service Is provided on the grounds by the
exposition management.

provide commodious free waiting rooms, in

Singular Stoppage of the Redwine Investi
CATION at Atlanta. Ga. just q Red.
Hot Trail was Struck, Which Promised
to Hit In Prominent Quarters-Some.
body With . Pull at Washington APP
pears to be Behind the Scenes.
ATLANTA. Ga, March 3L-The Red
wine case comes to the front again
with another sensation. This is in the
shape of a telegram from Attorney.
General Olney, ordering that further
investigation into the case and its col.
lateral branches be stopped. The tele'
gram proved a stunning surprise, not
only to the public but to the
attorneys in charge of the
investigation. Capt. Henry jackson,
who has been acting as special
representative of the government in the
prosecution, has entered upon his work
with a determination to get to the bot
tom of what has proven to be great
mystery, and it was generally under
stood that he succeeded to an extent
that promised startling disclosures.
After the telegram from Olney was re-
ceived, Capt. Jackson took the first
train for Washington, where he goes to
find out what it all means.
One explanation given is that the
matter will rest until the new district
attorney takes charge. But the people
are not inclined to take that view of it.
It is argued that Capt Jackson, who
was appointed special government
counsel, has every fact that has been
brought to light in his possession and
that it is to him that everyone looks for
a thorough investigation. District At
torney Darnell, it is understood, has
offered his services if they are accept
able or needed.
Everything was ready to present to
the grand jury the names of six per-
sons connected with the Redwine de-
falcation, and with the names strong
evidence of their guilt. These parties.
1t is understood, are people of prom
inence and some of them have strong
pull on prominent people in Washing
ton. 1t is stated that the string is
being pulled at Washington and that
the first known by any officials here was
when the order came. The names of
some very prominent Georgians at
Washington are mentioned in this con-
nection, as it is known that they had
business dealings with the Gate City
national. Whether friendship for
those connected with the bank has
anything to do with the sudden stop
page does not appear. One interesting
phase Of the case is Capt. Jackson's con-
nection with it. The suicide of his son,
who was Redvine's friend, created the
impression that young Jackson was in
some way implicated in Redwine's
affairs. His father consented to act as
attorney for the government simply
that he might sift the case to the bot
tom and show where the blame really
belongs. and he proposes to do it; hence
his anxiety to proceed.

How the Country Is Plundered ThrosSh
the Mckinley Bull.
The Mckinley bill retained tax on
refined sugars of half cent pound.
For the year ending last December
there were imported only 4,ooO, 900
pounds Of refined sugar, and there
were exported over Is, 900, 600 pounds.
There were imported $3.50, 600, 600
pounds of raw sugar free of tax. The
comparatively small amount of refined
imported shows how fully the sugar
trust controls our market. The fact that
we export refined sugars shows that NO
protection, not even that of half a cent
q pound, is needed. As revenue tax
it amounts to nothing. As means OF
plundering the consumers OF sugar in

few facts.
The stock of the sugar trust, still a
trust notwithstanding its reorganiza-
ton under the flexible laws of New
Jersey. is $4,000, 900, very largely
water. It declared a quarterly dividend
recently of per cent. and an extra
dividend of ten per cent A dividend
was paid in January of 81, $50, 600, and
the official statement is made that it
now has surplus of s.. 900, 900. The
profits of little less than year are
thus seen to be about SIG, 600, 900.
These figures are given by the Com
.mercial Bulletin, of New York.
The import price of raw sugar is
about 1857 cents pound; that of re-
fined 4. So, a difference of 1.19 cents a
pound Deducting cents q pound,
the tax, and there remains so cent a
pound, to cover the cost of refining,
which is more than ample. Allowing
for loss in refining, and the tax of half
a cent a pound on the quantity i'm
ported nearly equals and accounts for
the abnormal profits of the trust. In
other words, the country is taxed some
SIS, 900, 900 for the benefit of the sugar
trust.-St. Paul Globe.
