over the executive branch Of the Government,
has an interest In the condition Of things abroad,
outside Of his official concern-just the sort of

The success Of the Turks was directly due TO

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. April 20-Trom inside
sources 1t 10 learned that the recent mission Of
John e. Searles of Sugar Trust TO this coast was
to purchase all the beet sugar factories here
and thus remove the only competitors Of the
trust and the only active opponents Of Hawaiian
reciprocity.
1t was given out that Mr. Searles came here
to inspect Mexican railroads, but It became
known to-day that he has already made bar
gain to buy Spreckels's Watsonville beat sugar
factory. as well as tho now factory which the
old Sugar King is building at Salinas. and which
will be the largest in the country. II not In the
world.
Mr.. Searles is now at Riverside. where he has
made careful inspection OF the great Chino beet
sugar factory on the Chino Ranch. which recent
ly passed from the hands of Richard Gird to
London syndicate. Wendell Easton of San
Francisco. who represents this syndicate, left
for Riverside to-day to complete the deal. Mr..
searles has also an option on the Alyardo sugar
factory across the bay from San Francisco.
This deal will give the Sugar Trust absolute
control OF the sugar market on this coast, al
least for many months, because 1t would require
q year to import suitable machinery and estab-
lish beet sugar factory. This deal amounts 10
about ive millions, as the Chino and Watson
vile plants are worth two millions and ClauS

A betrothed couple appeared before Judge

last night and formally dissolved their pliRhted
tro,h and returned their courtship presents.
They were Gottholf Kuller and Dora Hortstein.
They had been engaged for about year and
had had no trouble until a few weeks ago. when
Kuller became jealous Of Leo Muller, young
man who escorted Dora home one evening. KuI
Ter was also insanely Jealous of Albert Geldhaus-
er, Sr. She frequently visited at the home Of Geld
hauser's son, and on one occasion the jealous
lover saw the elder Geldhauser shake hands
with he-. That aroused his anger and he as
saulted the old gentleman. For this he was ar.
rested the next day. The incident with Leo
Muller happened the other night, and Kuller
threatened to kill him.
Dora refused to see Kuler after that, and he
took to prowling around the residence of Emil
Dieffenbach at 103 Passaic avenue, where she
was employed servant This alarmed her.
and she applied to Judge Eggers for protection.
Kuller was summoned before the Judge. He
complained of Doras hardheartedness, but said
he was willing TO let her alone II she would re-
turn tho presents he had given her. She thea
demanded that he return her presents. Both ap-
peared on time last evening.
The presents she returned were pocketbook
containing lucky cont and cheap gold ring.
He gave up diamond ring, o gold chain. TIVE
gold dollars. and her fathers photograph. The
exchange Of gifts was made without comment
on either side. The Judge lectured them on the
foolishness Of their action. and said that he b.
lieved they would yet kiss and mako up.

to the Government yesterday that the Turks on
Sunday bombarded the military hospital at
