In certain districts. situated at a dis
tance from the railway lines, various
lots OF tobacco are still stored away;
but as these can only be moved under
strong military escort and their ulti-
mate fate being so uncertain. they may
be left out of the reckoning. For the
present they are beyond reach, put
should they be spared the destruction
that is now being carried ca around
them, they may vet be available for the
American market.
The new crop will be a small one.
Many of the large tobacco properties
have been burned, and many growers
also were unable to plant, owing to
scarcity of money and other necessary
material.
In Havana prices for all kinds of
tobacco are advancing. Even cigar
cite manufacturers are finding consid-
cradle difficulty in securing supplies,
and are reducing the number of cigar
cites in a package and the number of
packages in a real. Cigars likewise
have advanced in price in certain in
stances 10 per cent: and what is still
more eloquent, have fallen off greatly
In quality. Ii is now almost impos-
sble to get cigars possessing that
sweet, aromatic flavor that is charac-
teristic of even the middle-late goods

The ways and means committee OF
congress has not definitely settled the
question Of tho day upo, imported
leaf, but it is very safe to say that the
duty on wrappers will be 81 per pound,

duty on filters will remain at 35 cents
per pound. The committee has no
small task on hand when It attempts

A JUST VERDICT.

Murder

jefferson, Mo, Feb. 16, 49, Gov
Stevens has decided not to interfere
in the case of the st. Louis millionaire.
DR.. Arthur Deustrow, sentenced to be

his decision after receiving the report
Of a commissioner of three eminent
physicians as to Duestrow's. mental
condition Two considered him per-
fectly sane and merely shamming, the
third thought him mentally incapable
Duestrow's attorneys intended to APP
peal to the United States supreme court
but the governors refusal to grant a
respite will prevent that step. Deus
trow was under the influence OF whisky

act was singularly cold and cruel.

New York, Feb. Is. When the joint
Legislative committee on trusts ,e-
sumed its sittings yesterday James a
Post, who said that he represented the
firm of Mollenhauer & b. Howell re-
iiners, was the first witness. When
ask ed about the question of profits he
said that the profits to the wholesaler
on refined sugar was 3-16 of a cent per
pound and added that If his company
realized II of a cent profit per pound
on refined sugar it would be perfectly
content with the transaction.

he stated, is fixed by the daily state OF
the market and not by the refining
companies,
John E. Seares, the the next wit
ness admitted that the margin OF pro-
fit between raw and refined sugar
had increased during the last three
years. An effort was made to elicit
from Searles his knowledge of the
effect of the consolidation of fifteen
companies into the American Sugar
Refining company upon the trade and
business of the sugar refining com
panies which are not in the consolida-
tion. Searles, however, stated that he
had no knowledge of the affairs of the
