DROWNED IN THE SURF.
A Native Fisherman Meets Death
Near Hanalei.

News has arrived from Kauai,
telling of the drowning of a native
last Thursday morning, in the surf
at Wainiha, near Hanalei. The
man, who was a fisherman, went
out with a companion Thursday
night in a small boat. During the
night, the wind rose and the sea
became quite rough. Early Fri
DAY morning, when they attempted
to land, the surf had become very
high. The boat was capsized, and
one of the men was drowned, his
companion reaching the shOre in
safety, although much exhausted.
The body of the drowned man was
rescued shortly after his death.

perties-the original value of which,
as stated by the owners, was under
sl3, 900, 000-would surely and greatly
depreciate the value of the stock.
Further light on its enormous de-
probation is shed by an article in the
Sunday Herald of February 10th, 1890
said to have been inserted with the
concurrence of one of the Sugar Trust
grandees. This article truly remarks
that "when the inside history of the
Sugar Trust which refuses to publish
any report is brought 10 light-as it
surely will be one of these days-a
most surprising chapter will be added
to the annals of speculation;" that
"the Messrs. Havemeyer received
about SIC, 200, 900 of the $50. 900, 900 GER
tificates issued by the Trust, and,
moreover, held the highest positions
in the board of trustees; that sit may
now be asserted that the whole of the
Havemeyers' S16,000,000 of certificates
were sold out last summer for from
500 to S125 per share, and that they]
did not begin buying them back until
a few days ago. The buying and the
selling were brilliantly managed by
famous operator flames R. Keene],
and assuming that they have regained
the entire Sl6,000,000 worth, it would
seem that he has made for the Have
meyers one of the most gigantic turns
on record-a turn which shows them
a profit something like S6,000,0O0."

the option of raising his bid to S7,000,-
600, which he did December q, 1889.
But all offers were refused by the
great Hawaiian antagonist, who
avowed his fixed resolve "to fight the
Trust and down it" for interfering
with his California business. Finding
that Mr.. Spreckels would not listen
to the voice Of the charmer, Mr.. Math-
lessen and his associates, about the
middle of December, 1889, resolved to
sell a controlling interest in the Su-
gar Trust to an English syndicate,
organized by the Barring Brothers,
for S25, 900, ,000-the price of certificates
then ranging about 60-and employed
FoX, Leonard & Co. to accomplish the
sale. The profits of the trust in the
year 1889, on the sale of more than a
million of refined sugar, were about
twenty per cent. on the capitalization
Of s50,000,000. Ten per cent. was paid
out in dividends, and the remainder
added to the surplus.
In February, 1890, Mr.. Mathiessen
and friends held control of 30O, 900 out
of the 100000 shares, and for reasons
satisfactory to themselves dropped the
English negotiations which had been
carried on by Fox, Leonard & Co.
The Baltimore Sugar Refining Com
pany's property was acquired by the
Sugar Trust after 1890, and Mr.. John
E. Searles claims the credit of having
effected the final arrangements for the
transfer of the Spreckels properties to
the same corporation, in the spring of
1892, for the sum of $4,000, 900, with
Adolph B., son of Claus Spreckels,
who consented to the bargain because
a cooper shop connected with the
Philadelphia establishment burned
down. Through the same instrument
tality the concern of E. G. knight &
Co. was finally secured, while through
the agency of John E. Parsons the
plant, with the addition of an old
church, of Harrison, Frazier & Co.
was made over to the colossal corpo-
ration in consideration of the payment
in some shape of between nine and
ten million dollars.
The Delaware Sugar-Refining Com
pany's property was also absorbed,
and one-half interest in the Western
Sugar Refining Company's plant ac-
quired. In consequence of these ac-
cessions, on which commissions to
the extent of 100000 are said to have
been paid, the capital stock of the
American Sugar Refining Company
was raised to $4,000, ,OO0-of which
half is composed of preferred and half
of common stock-subject to the first
lien of $4,000, 900 in bonds.

DAMAGING ADMISSIONS.

President H. o. Havemeyer, under
examination by the Senate Commit

charges against his corporation, testl-
fled (Juue l3 1891 that the American
Sugar Refining Company contributes
to whatever party or organization can
give it protection, that it never con-
tributed to influence State legislation,
and that 1t has " only the politics of

means the politics of utter selfishness.

The conduct OF Governor Matthe VS.

was in refreshing contrast with that
OF his neighbor across the line. He
has now come to the front again in o
manner that will win general admir-
alton. He is determined that the
militia who were on duty at strike
centers shall not go without their
pay, and has decided to borrow the
money necessary to foot the bill,
about $40. 00). TO do this he will
have to give his personal note trust
ing to the legislature to REIN burse
him. His action is especially en-
titled to praise since some OF the
soldiers lost their places because
they were sent into the field, and it
would be real hardship il they

TWO SCIENTISTS LOST.
Mr.. STEMS Voyage to Ellesmere
Land Will Become a Rescue
Expedition.

Public interest in the expedition
to Ellesmere Land proposed by Mr..
Robert Stein of the United States
Geological Survey is likely to be-
come Intensified by the fact that
melancholy tidings received from
the Arctic now render that expedi-
ton a duty to humanity. Captain
Mckay, OF the Dundee whaler
Aurora, reports that the two young
Swedish naturalists, Bjorling and
Kaistennius, who had hired a small
schooner, the Ripple, at St. Johns,
Newfoundland, and set out for a
collecting trip along the West
Greenland coast, accompanied by
a crew Of three men, were wrecked
on the Carey Islands in August,
1892, the schooner running aground
as they were leaving. After an un7
successful attempt to reach the
Greenland shore, they returned
to the Carey Islands and the
last note, written by Bjor-
ling, dated October II, 1892,
states that they were preparing to
start Immediately for Ellesmere
Land, in the hope of obtaining
succor from the Eskimos and
afterward making their way
thence to a whaler or to the Dan
ish settlements. Their provisions
would only last till January 1,
1898. No further news having
been received from them, almost
the only hope of their safety lies in
the supposition that they are on
Ellesmere Land, sharing the food
and shelter of the Eskimos or
hunting down the musk oxen and
reindeer, which are known to
abound in the western part of the
island. An expedition for their
relief would necessarily have to
shape its course for the nearest
accessible point of Ellesmere Land,
which it could not hope to reach
before the end of May, 1894. Pre-
cisely at that time Mr.. Stein ex-
poets to be landed at that point
from a whaling steamer, with pro-
visions for two years and material
for house, so that no other relief
could come more OPPORTUNITY. Mr..
Stein intends to make it his first
duty to institute a thorough search
for the missing scientists.-Amer-
