Coffee and sugar Trusts at War over

Coffee and sugar Trusts at War over
Rival Interests.
NEW YORK, Feb. 4-The American
Conee Company was Incorporated today
In Trenton. y. J.. with a capital stock of
$4,000 The incorporators are Henry o.
Havemeyer. John L. Searles, John E.
Parsons and Theodore Havemeyer This
is the latest move Of the Sugar Trust in
the war to the knife they are now wag-
ing against Arbuckle Brothers, coffee
roasters on October Sth last, II was
first ruru0red that Arbuclzle Brothers had
completed small plant in Brooklyn. On
that CAV the stock Of the American sugar
Refining Company dropped Is per cent
Lower Wall street was aroused with ru-
mors Of retaliation on the part OF the
Sugar Truss. on December 18th 1t be-
came known that the trust had pur-
chased the controlling interest in the
Woolson Spice and Packing Company OF
Toledo Ohio which. next to Arbuckle,
was the largest coffee concern in the
country. 1t controlled most OF the West
ern business. while Arbuclde Brothers
held a practical monopoly Of the same
trade east Of Ohio.
Early in January the refineries COM
pauy let retail dealers know that If
they handled any more Of ArbucIes'
coffee III would no longer supply them
with the finer grades of sugar. This in
formation was sent to the Arbuckles'
and they made the announcement that
they would meet this attempt at boycott
ting by selling sugar at 8 per cent lower
than trust prices TO those dealers affect
ed by the trusts order.
This opened hostilities in earnest. The
Arbuckle factory worked night and day
10 nh orders. They also declared that
the competition had increased the sale
OF their coffee. The trust also declared
its willingness to supply roasted coffee
al prices below Arbuckles' rates. The Ar
buckles at this time maintained that they
had accumulated evidence showing con-
clusively that the agents of the Sugar
Trust are Illegally attempting to destroy
competition.
on January Sd it was announced that
the American Sugar Refining Company
had agreed TO pay Spence AclSlin for
his GQ shares of stock of the Woolson
Spice Company 100000, and he had re-
ceived a check for that amount. The
Sugar Trust had gathered in all the
WOolson stock except these 50 shares,
Mr. Acklin being the only stockholder
who held out against the deal. After
offers Of $4,000 and $4,000, he eventually
got the sum he asked. The new COM
pany incorporated by the Havemeyers Is
another retaliatory step against the Ar
buckles for infringing upon their monop-
oily in the sugar trade

Fortunes.

En- Route to Honolulu to Tell
Fortunes.
MILL VALLEY, Cal, Jan. 3l.-A sight
can be Witnessed tonight near Mill Val
ley which is not only awful but heart
rending and appeals TO every sympathy
in the human breast. A band of gypsies
has its camp pitched just beyond Mill
wood Station, about one mile below Mill
Valley, and the rain and wind has rem
dered the temporary habitation a sorry
place The ramshacl1le tents which the
gypsies have erected to serve as pro-
lection against the storm are water
soaked and leaking, and the cold, raw
winds sweeping over the marshes from
Richardson's Bay adds to their pitiable
condition. The houses are exposed TO
the fury of the storm, and the water
rushes down the embankments and flows
through the camp in streams. The
ground is thoroughly soaked and the
camp save for a bluff on the west, is
without shelter from the wind.
The women are half clothed, and the
children are not as well provided for.
Fires can be started only in the tents,
and these blazes are the only means by
which the unfortunate band can keep
warm.
The encampment has been located be
low AIillwood for a number of days, and
Deputy Constable Ben Miller, who inter-
viewed the chief ELECTED the information
that the band was on its way to Homo
lulu.
1t came from Brazil and the chief stat
ed that the Brazilian Minister was max
ing arrangements for the trip to the ISL
ands, so that the band hoped to continue
its journey in a short time. The gypsies
seem to have plenty of money, and have
purchased much food in town. Last
night they held feast and liberal guam
titles of wine and beer We're INDUCED in.
The band has given no trouble, and the
people of Mill Valley have not been mo-
Tested by petty depredations, as has been
the case when gypsies have been en-
CANNED in the vicinity before.

Important Changes Likely to Be
Made In Conference.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-When Senator
Lodge agreed to the motion to recommit
the immigration bill for a new conference
today it was with the full knowledge
that no measure which would admit a
husband ana bar an illiterate wife could
pass the upper house. Senator German
said in so many words, that this pro-
vision would be fought with every means
at his command until the end of the ses-
sion, but there is still a chance for a
restriction measure in this Congress, and
it is believed the conference will not be
long in reaching a conclusion.
Senator Carter's attack on the birds
of passage" clause, when he said 10000
miners annuallS crossed into the Domia-
ion and were treated just as natives, had
a great effect, and it is more that pos
sible that featme win disappear as weil.
