TRUST INVESTIGATION.
Several Witnesses Called, But They
We're Absent-Some Testimony
Taken.

New York, Feb. ia joint legisla-
ton committee appointed to investi-
gate the existence of trusts and mo-
nopolies in this state resumed its sess-
ions this morning.
Immediately on assembling Chair
man Lexow ordered the names of sew
eral persons who had been subpoenaed
to be called, among them being those
of George r. McDougal Charles r.
Flint and James B. Duke.
Mr.. Flint answered to his name, but
the other two did not respond. An ex-
PLANTATION was made in the case of Mr.
McDougal which was satisfactory to
the committee
Mr.. Lexow directed that Mr.. Dukes
absence be noted. The name of John
E. Searles, secretary and treasurer of
the American Sugar Refining company,
was next called.
There was no response from Mr.
Searies, but young man who said he
represented counsel for the American
Sugar Manufacturing company ex-
planned that Mr.. Searles had to leave
town.
Mr.. Searles.'' he said, will be pres
ent any day next week the committee
desires. He understood he was not to
be called today"
Mr.. Lexow asked the young man
where the books and documents of the
American Sugar Refining company,
and which Mr.. Shepard, counsel for
the company, promised to have on
hand today, were. He replied that he
did not know.
We'll" said Mr.. Lexow, Mr. Shep-
ard promised TO have them here to-
day. However, If Mr.. Shepard viii be
here on Monday morning with the
books of the company, we will excuse
him this time"
George H. Miller, who was secretary
of the North River Sugar Refining
company from 1873 to 1883, was the
first witness to take the stand. This
was the company bought by Mr..
Searles for S350,O00, who turned it over
TO the Sugar Refining company, getting
sugar certificates in return. Lawson
N SuIly was also called. Both gen
tlemen testified as 10 their knowledge
of the value of the properties of the
Sugar trust.
Mir. Sully said it was absolutely
false that the price of sugar to the
consumers was reduced after the
formation of the trust, and he gave
1t as his opinion that the HaveIneyers.
since they produced so per cent Of the
sugar of the United States, must abso-
lutely control the market and fix the
price.
Mr.. Edward J. Duggan. a wholesale
grocer of Albany, testified that be-
cause he refused to join the Wholesale
Grocers' association he was shut off
from getting sugar from the New
York end of the trust.
Other witnesses We're examined be-
fore the committee took an adjourn
ment until Monday, but their testi-
mony vas unimDortant

Hot SPRINGS Litigation.

Hot Springs, S. D., Feb. 1S.-The liti-
cation over the possession of the prop
erty of the Dakota Hot Springs COM
pany, which includes the Evans hotel
and baths at this place, reached a cli-
max today. Colonel Swan had been
appointed receiver by the federal
courts, and II. J. Curtis by the district
court on application of two distinct
sets of creditors. Today Colonel Swan
was compelled by deputy sheriffs to
leave the building at the point of a
revolver, and the Curtis faction is in
control. No meals have been served to
the guestE today, and the restaurants
around town are doing a thriving bust
ness.
Colonel Swan points out that the
mortgage given on the property ex-
pressly stipulates that he should be in
control of the property in case fore
closure proceedings were instituted.

WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
No Truth in the Report That the
Austro-Hur garian Army Is Being
Modified.

Buda Pest. Feb. 13.-In the chamber
of deputies today, Baron Banffy, the
Hungarian premier, declared that the
report which is in circulation that the
Austro- Hungarian army is being mo-
bilized was without foundation.
The rebellion in Crete, Baron Banffy
said, was due partly to agitation by
Greek committees and partly TO delay
in carrying out reforms in the admin
istration of affairs in the island, which
had been conceded by the sultan.
Greece, the premier further said, had
acted in the matter against the advice
of the powers, who had agreed abso-
lutely upon the necessity of maintain
ing peace and the status quo in the
east.
