SUGAR TRUST TACTICS.
Rushing in Cargoes in Expectation
of Restoration of Duties.

In anticipation of the passage by
Congress of a tariff bill restoring
the duty on sugar, the Sugar Trust
is hurrying off to the West Indies
all available steam craft to return
with cargoes of the raw material
before the new bill goes into effect.
A preference is given to foreign
steamers, and American sailing
craft are not wanted at any figure,
excepting at ports where long de-
lays are likely because of scarcity
of cargoes.
Charters have been effected by
Trust officials at New York with
English, German and Norwegian
steamship owners, by which these
vessels get almost the entire carry
ing contract.
The list of vessels bound to Phil
adelphia with cargoes of sugar at
the present time is larger than ever
before. There are now on their way
to this port over $4,000 tons of
sugar from the West Indies.
Among the carriers is a large Phil
apelphia clipper ship. The British
steamship Manuka, now at this
port, was chartered to proceed to
Sagua in ballast and to return with
230O tons of sugar at 121 cents per
100 pounds freight. The British
ship Empress is now bound to the
same port, to return with similar
cargo at l24 cents per 100 pounds.
If the new tariff bill should
go into effect at an early day
the Trust could warehouse the
arriving cargoes and advance the
price of sugar by an amount equal
to the duty imposed by the bill.
By having large stock on hand it
would thus be able TO clear several
million dollars with little, if any,
expense.-Philadelphia Record.

HE WANTS TO SELL.
DR.. Trousseau Desires to Get Rid Of
His Launch.

At the meeting of the Board of
Health yesterday afternoon a letter
was read from Drs. G. III. Wetmore,
LeBlond and Frances Wetmore,
referring To the fact that at a recent
meeting of the Board, when the
question of the supposed scarlatina
epidemic in Hilo was under discus
sion, several physicians, among
whom was DR.. Williams, gave it as
their opinion that the disease was
not scarlatina at all. The three
nedicos mentioned above had de-
clared the disease TO be scarlatina,
and they thought that slur had
been cast on their professional abil-
ity. They described the symptoms
as they had seen them, and asked
that the letter be made public.
A communication was received
from DR.. Trousseau, the former
Port Physician, offering to sell the
Board his steam launch for $lOOO,
and saying that he was willing to
take Government bonds In pay
ment. The matter was deferred
until investigation could be made,
but the majority of the Board
were In favor of the idea of pro-
viding a launch for the use of the
Port Physician.
The matter Of vaccinating school
children was discussed, and 1t was
decided to uotlfy all teachers that
the law requiring each child to
have a certificate OF vaccination
before he shall be allowed TO attend
school, would be rigidiy enforced.

WANT THEIR WAGES.
Compositors on the Holomua Claim
Not to Have Been Paid.

Editor Norrie was in peck of
trouble yesterday. In the morn
ing be was fined 500 for seditlnn.
and In the afternoon, the pressman
and i've of the compositors
OF the Holomua struck work.
They gave as their reason for
so doing, that they cannot get
but a small portion of their wages
each week, and that the paper is
indebted to them for nine weeks
back pay.
One of the compositors who did
not strike said yesterday after
noon:
"The men walked out because
they did not want to work for
nothing. For the last nine weeks
they have been paid only So each,
which is not enough for them to
live on"
One of the editorial staff of the
Holomua said that the men had
not struck, but had been dis
charged. "The fact of the matter
is" said he, that the Star has
tried to get number of our men,
especially the foreman, Thomas
Spencer. They did not succeed,
but several of the men seemed to
listen to the voice of the charmer
and we thought we would dis
charge them as we wished to cut
down expenses anyway. Spencer
is still with the paper"
Business Manager Fernandez,
however, told different story
when asked about the strike. He
acknowledged that the men had
left because they had not received
all their wages, but he said the
paper only owed them three weeks
back pay, instead of nine as the
men claim. The strike did not
prevent the papers appearance
last evening, however, and it will
proceed on its merry way as usual.

no DIVIDE OUT THE COTTON.
The Railroads viii Apportion That
Part Of the Crop Received at juno
ton Points

The Railroads VIII Apportion That
Part of the Crop Received at juno
ton Points.
There will be meeting next Tuesday,
In Atlanta, Of the trafic men of the
southern railroads, with a view to taking
some action with regard to the appor-
tionment of the cotton received at the
junction points, between the different
lines which compete for it.
1t is expected that all the lines south of
the Ohio river and east of the Mississippi
will be represented and, that there will
be considerable discussion with regard to
the business which each line is to handle
The prevailing belief among railroad men
IS that a harmonious agreement with re-
gard to the apportionment will be
reached.
The idea is not, as some have stated it,
TO apportion the cotton crop among the
railroads. However much the railroads
might like TO be able to do that the idea
IS preposterous. The apportionment of
the cotton applies only to that received
at the junction or competing points from
which 1t can be carried by two or more
railroads. This has been done from year
10 year, and the cotton re-
ceived at functions have been
apportioned among the different lines
competing for 1t on a percentage
basis. If no harmonious arrangement
can be made the board of arbitration of
the southern Railway and Steamship
Association will be called in to settle the
differences and establish the proportions
The crop this year is likely to be much
larger than it was last, and the railroad
companies are already doing a good trans
pOrtation business. This fact may bring
about some differences between the trait
men, as they are all now getting a good
share of business and none of them will
want to see any of it withdrawn from
their lines. This is matter which has
always deeply interested the ports of the
south Atlantic coast and which has
seemed to them to produce certain discrim-
nations in favor of other ports. These
ports will, therefore, watch with interest
the progress of this meeting. The rail
roads hold that it is not the differential
rate between any two ports which creates
a discrimination in favor of one over the
other, but that it is a question of the
total rate by water and land from the
starting point of the cotton to
its destination across the water.
! 1t is the sea rate they say
which needs reducing in order to allow
| Savannah and other ports in a similar
| condition to compete with other ports in
the shipment of cotton. Savannah has
| taken steps looking to the reduction of
| that rate, and there is some probability
| of the shipment of cotton through this
| port being larger than it was last year
regardless of the increase in the amount
Of the crop.

an engagement with him three years be-
fore. Buchholz, when rejected, went to
Sharon and bought newspaper and de-
voted himself TO it, and Miss Spire was
entirely In the dark as to his whereabouts.
When the first surprise was over the pair
began 10 talk of old times. On the return
trip they occupied the same carriage
again, but this time they had the company
OF the Rev. w. M. Tinker of Sharon who
officiated at the funeral services. He was
engaged to be married TO friend of Miss
Spire, and the four rode together Before
this MIR. Buchholz had learned that Miss
Splre was engaged again. and each had
expressed regret that slight misunder-
standing should have kept them apart so
long
Made bold by the cordiality of his re-
cepticn, Mr. Buchholz ventured to ask IL
there was no hope left for him. and the
minister jocularly observed that nothing
would please him better than to marry
the couple. Miss Spire said she was
willing If the editor was, and it was
agreed that they should be married then
ana there. A license being necessary, one
was obtained at Mercer, Pa, and tha
marriage was performed in the carriage,
the driver and the minister's fance act
ing as witnesses. The party then drove
to Mr. Buchholz's house, where the min
lister performed the ceremony a second
time that evening for Appearances sake.
No sooner had the news reached Buff

saying that her mother was ill. She has
tened here and found it was only blind
to secure her presence here, as her fam
lily was disappointed in her marriage.
She is still here, and IL is a question
whether she will return to her husband,

EXCURSIONS BRING TRADE.
A Big Excursion From Middle Georgia
to Come Here This Week.

An excursion will be run to Savannah
next Wednesday from Middle Georgia,
starting from Covington, and taking in
Eatonton. Milledgeville and other points
in that part of the state. 1t will reach
here Wednesday afternoon at 8 o'clock.
The tickets are good to remain in the city
until Saturday, returning on any train up
to Saturday night. The rate for the
round trip is 81.
These excursions do a great deal for the
retail business of Savannah. The excur-
slons which were run by the merchants
last winter showed what the effect of
such an enterprise would be were it con-
continued. The people in the interior of
the state know that they can buy better
in Savannah than anywhere else, and
whenever they have the opportunity they
come here to do their trading.

"A PLAY OF THE SOUTH.
down in Dixie" to Make Its Bow TO
ThedteT- GOeTS This Week.

The Story Of the Play and the Features
Of Southern Life it Portrays-The
Piece Making a Hit Everywhere.
1.-The Girl Left Behind Me- to Be
Seen Here for the First Time.
Down in Dixie" and 1.-THE Girl Left
Behind Me" will be the leading attrac-
tions at the theater this week. Down
in Dixie is said to be one of the best
plays in the south this year. Manager
johnson, after some correspondence, has
arranged for the company to appear at
matinee tomorrow afternoon, and also
give night performance. The engage
ment was only for one night, but in view
of the success that the piece has had it
will be given here at two performances,
The sale of seats began yesterday.
The hero of the play, young Carolina
girl, Immediately after her romantic Sc
cret marriage TO manly young southerner
is made captive by villainous over
seer, who has been an unsuccessful
sutton for her love. Impris-
oned by him in cotton ware
house. she escapes from her
place of confinement and hides beneath
some flooring, where she overhears the
overseer and blackmailer forming plot
and sees them overpower a brave young
naval officer who suspects them. They
put him in the cotton compress, set fire to
The place, start the machinery and take
to flight. The heroine bursts into the
room and drags the officers body from the
very Jaws Of death. This is but one of
several exploits performed by her. The
production of the play with its
views of Georgia and Carolina home
steads and cotton fields is said to
be one of the most picturesque
ever presented. The play is southern
from beginning to end. II was written by
Scott Marble, and deals with matters
that are familiar to every southern per-
son.
The attraction following Down in
Dixie is The Girl Left Behind Me-
Thursday night The play ran for months
at the Empire theater in New York after
its initial production, and then last win
ter it was revived at the Academy
of Music, where thousands of peo-
pie were thrilled with the stockade
| scenes of the third act. Perhaps the jul
| dicious mingling of social incident, the
| flirting and fun sure to happen when sol
| diers and pretty girls are thrown to-
| gether, and the exciting war scenes, eX-
| plain this success with different classes.
| But even without its pretty girls and the
| brilliant ball at Camp kennion, there is
| enough fire and stir in the tremendous
| stockade scene to fill any audience with
! enthusiasm, no matter whether it is
| purely fashionable one or not.
