Maher and Sharkey

New York, August 3.-Representa
tives of Peter Maher and Tom Shark
ey met in this city to-day and made
the second deposit of $4,000 of the
$4,000 for fight between the pugi-
lists. The 100000 San Francisco offer
was taken up. An answer was re-
turned saying that the offer would be
accepted if the conditions of the arti-
cles were satisfactory.
Maher is in Ireland at present and
may not be back in this country for
two or three weeks. Maher's mana
ger insisted also upon the Knicker-
booker Club putting up substantial
guarantee before the articles are
signed and said that he would also
demand that every dollar of the purse
be in the hands of the referee when
the men stepped into the ring. There
was some talk of referee, but no de-
cision was reached.

A Glucose Trust.

Trenton, August 3.-The Glucose
Sugar refining Company, with an au-
thorized capital stock of $40, 900, 900,
was incorporated this afternoon. The
company is empowered to make sugar
from corn and also to manufacture all
the products and by products of corn.
The principal place of business in this
State will be in Jersey City. The capi-
tai stock is to be divided into I4o, 900
shares of preferred and 26o, 900 shares
of common stock.
The incorporators are F. O Mathies-
sen, New York, and James B. Vreden-
burg, and A. Q. Garretson, of Jersey
City. Mathiessen is the owner Of big
sugar refineries in Jersey City.
Peoria, ILL.,, August 3.-On suit of
George F. Harding, of Chicago, who
claims with his father to hold $3.50, 900
stock in the American Glucose Com
pany, an injunction was issued by the
Circuit Court to-day restraining that
company from discontinuing the manu-
facture of glucose or selling out to the
trust.
Chicago, August 3.-Geo. F. Hard
ing, Jr. who is said to have enjoined
the American Glucose Company from
joining the trust and disseminating the
manufacture of glucose is an attorney
for the Chicago Real Estate Loan and
Trust Company, which has, IN fact Sc
cured the injunction. Harding states
the injunction also enjoins the forma-
ton of the big $40, 900, 900 trust among
the glucose manufacturers. Service
was had upon some twenty members
of the proposed trust, the election of
officers having been deferred for the
purpose, it is alleged, of avoiding the
possibility Of an injunction.
H. J. Forbes, the millionaire owner
of railroads and steamship lines, in
Guiding the fall river line of boats, is
the principal stockholder in the Real
Estate Loan and Trust Company.
This company, which until about
year and half ago was called the
Peoria Starch Manufacturing Company
formerly owned the plant at Peoria,
which, after being altered to glucose
factory from starch factory, was sold
to the American Glucose Company,
the great $I2, 1000 900 corporation,
owned principally by the Hamlins, of
Buffalo; and in payment received $500.
900 worth of stock in the American
company, which now proposes against
the wishes of Forbes and Harding who
are also stockholders, to join the great
pool of the glucose men. Mr.. Harding
expresses the belief that the injunction
will prove the death blow to the trust.

The Equalization Board.

Raleigh. N. G. August 3.-Chairman
J. w. Wilson, Of the State board Of
equalization, was specially interviewed
and said:
"The act creating this board requires
all property to be reported to the audi
tor and given to us by August l6 of this
year. Up to this date only thirty-four
counties have made retSrns. 1t is i'm
possible to take action until all are in.
If all are here by the 10Th, it will give
only fifteen days to equalize and return
to each county for revision of its lists,
and then to return to our board. This
is an impossibility. 1t would require
at least two months to correct proper
ly and make report; but the sheriffs
are required to have the tax lists in
by September ist and persons falling
on that day to pay their taxes are liza.
bic to imprisonment for such failure.
The bill which created our board is
copy Of the Idaho law, and is not at all
suited to North Carolina. In one
place it requires the sheriff and in an
other the register Of deeds to make re.
turns. There is dispute as to who
shall do it, and as result, the work
is not done by either.'

Lee Takes Remonstrance.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 3.-United
States Consul-General Lee, at Havana,
has been informed by judge of the
military court that Fernandez Chau-
quelo, convicted of rebellion, has been
sentenced to life imprisonment, and
that if the sentence were carried out, it
would result in his being sent to Cen
ia, Africa. This would dispose of his
testimony as witness in the case of
Gown, all American, who was killed
by the Spanish troops, as effectually as
if he had been shot. The fiscal at the
tIial asked for sentence Of death.
General Lee has addressed note to
the Governor-General asking for posi-
tive information as to what decision
the Spanish government has reached
in the case.

Great Loss of Life from Eruption Of Volcano


Chicago, August "A special to the
Chronicle from Tacoma, Wash, says
5ooreported killed up to July 1st. is the
record Of the terrible outbreak of the
great volcano of Mayor, on the island
of Luzon, one OF the Philippine group.
On the night Of June "A this volcano be-
gan throwing up ashes and lava in i'm
mense quantities and flames were
thrown upward considerably over 100
feet above the crater. The next day
fftysix bodies were recovered at a
considerable distance and the most re-
cent dispatches to Hong Kong up to
July Sth stated that not less than 500
were known to be killed. 1t was prob
able, said the dispatches, that the loss
of life would reach into the thousands,
depending on the length of eruption.
On that date lava streams and ashes
had reached the cities of Bacalay,
Malipot and Liboy, and their destruc-
ton was certain. Fifteen smaller
towns between these and the volcano
had been destroyed and scores of the
agricultural population had been over
whelmed while attempting tr escape.

In the PHILIPPINES Isles.

San Francisco, August 3.-Follow ing
is the extract from private letter dat
ed Manila, June 9th:
"Things are in a frightful mess.
Spanish dollars have been introduced
at one per cent. less value than Mexi-
can. Everybody wants to sell out.
Native brokers are all over the place
trying to sell houses, horses, carriages,
furniture and estates with no buyers.
''In the sugar provinces, the cane
plants are being burned up for lack Of
rain. Paddy is being attacked by in
sects and in the northern rice provinces
Iocusts are eating it up. A few days
ago, about forty miles from Manila, a
train was stopped, owing to the inn
mense mass of locusts on the track.
Fighting is still going on in several
provinces and the papers here say
nothing about it, which looks bad.
The papers have not even mentioned
single glorious victory. +"

Professors Demonstrate.

Providence, R. l., Aug. "A re-
monstrance has been issued by the
professors at Brown University and
sent to the members of the corporation.
1t protests against the action of the lat
ter with reference to President An
drews and asks for reconsideration
OF the whole matter. The document
lays stress on the importance of free
dom OF thought and speech, especially
in University where there should be
no such thing as political prejudice.
The fact is emphasized that there has
been remarkable increase in the
number of students since DR.. Andrews
became president. The remoistrance
is signed by majority of the profess

Japan's Demands.

New York, August A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Japan will insist that the UnitedStates
assume contingent responsibility in
the matter of arbitration of her differ
ences with Hawaii on the subject of
immigration and the tariff. 1t is un-
derstood that this is one of the essen
tial conditions upon which Japan will
consent to arbitration and that if this
responsibility is not assumed by the
United States, Japan will break off ne
gotiations looking to arbitration, and
back up her demands by naval de-
monstration in Hawaiian waters.
The state department has not re-
ceived any official communication from
the Japanese government on this mat
ter and the administration has not in
dicated whether or not it will comply
with the Japanese demand when made.
An official of the japanese legation
said in an interview: IL am not Of
fcially informed concerning the terms
of arbitration, but that Japan should
ask the United States to take recogni-
ton of it and assume an ultimate re-
sponsibility for the decisions of the ar
bitrator as regards being carried out
seems to ME very natural. If the
United States refuse to give US guar
antee it is probable that the arbitration
proposition will fall. We prefer to en-
tertain grievance and to indemnify
our subjects ourselves than to arbtrate
after the indignity by the United
States of so just request. Neither
the United States nor the Hawaiian
Japan correspondence oflate in the
pending annexation has figured as a
factor in the situation. This should
operate in the arbitration case as

Caused by a Washout

Denver, COL, August 3-The fast
flyer on the Kansas Pacific Railway
was wrecked at daylight this morning,
about forty niles east of Denver. Two
trainmen were killed outright and a
number of passengers injured, but
none of them fatally.
The wreck was caused by a washout.
The heavy roins of the night flooded
the streams and carried out portion
Of a small bridge which spans Com
anche creek, between Byers and Stras-
burg. The train was on time and was
running along at the usual speed, when
approaching the point of the accident
Without warning the engine plunged
into the abyss followed by the mail
and baggage car, and other cars were
piled about in confusion.
The engine was completely under
water in almost the middle of the
stream and Engineer Ward was under
it. Strange to say, the fireman es-
capped instant death, but he is reported
to be badly hurt. Instantly there was
the widest confusion. The most Sc
verely injured passengers were riding
in the forward car. Some of the sleep
ing passengers in the Pullman were
thrown from their berths and more or
less hurt, but none seriously. Byers,
the nearest town to the wreck was five
miles away, and the conductor started
out to cover the distance on foot. He
arrived there at S o'clock and the rail-
way officials in Denver were notified of
the accident by telegraph. A special
wrecking train, with General Manager
Duell, and physicians on board, start
ed for the scene of the wreck.
The rain storm was general in the
plains region and it is feared that many
railroad bridges have been washed
out.

Bath, in this county, exploded early
this morning killing Edward Windley,
colored, instantly, and wounding Jo-
seph Taylor, white, Frank Clark, COL
ored, and York Clark, colored. Tay-
lor and Frank Clark will die. The
news was received here by phone, and
we have been unable to learn the
cause of the accident. The plant was
owned and operated by Messrs. OFT

had capacity of from 1000 to $1,000
feet per day.

Tobacco Gift-Packages.

WASHINGTON, August "A modi-
flcation of the recent circular of in
Structions to collectors of internal re-
venue has been made. These instruc
tions declare that 'all packages of
smoking tobacco, fine cut chewing to-
bacco, or cigarettes, containing articles
prohibited by section 10, of the new
tariff act, or having such articles at
attached or connected Herewith, or
advertising any promise of offer of gift
reward or prize, contrary to the provi-
sion of the new act, are subject to
seizure" The new order directs that
all violations of this section of the act
be reported to the commissioner of
internal revenue, but no seizure shall
be made without specific Instructions
from him. Some question has arisen
as to the power Of the Department in
the premises. The contention is made
that Congress has no power to fix by
law regulations governing the packing
of articles subject to internal revenue
unless in some way the power or con-
venience ofthe government in the col
lection is affected ; also that this pro-
vision is in restraint of trade interferes
with legitimate business. Until the
Department has determinee the ques-
tions, no seizures will be made under
this provision of the law.

Secretary Sherman Visiting.
New YORK, August 2.

NEW YORK, August 2.
Secretary of State Sherman is the
guest ofWhitelaw Reid at Ophir Farms
to-day. He will remain there until
Wednesday and the day following Mr..
Reid will start for Lake Champlain,
where he is to confer with President
Mckinley.
Much Importance attaches to the
special jubilee Ambassadors actions
since his return from England, and
the belief is strengthened that Mr..
Reid will succeed Mr.. Sherman as
Secretary Of State. The two have
been in close conference since the Sec
tary arrived at Ophir Farms and it is
believed Mr.. Reid's visit to President t
Mckinley will clear the way for him
to accept the portfolio to be made
vacant by Mr.. Sherman.

Mr.. Curzon's Denial.

LONDON, August 2.-In the the House

that British protectorate was pro-
claimed over Palmyra Island in May,
1880, and that the occupation will be
mainlaine 1t was not necessary to
notify any of the powers ofthese facts,
as Hawaii and Palmyra had no present
connection.
