It's Interpretation a Puzzle
to Treasury Officials.
IMPORTANT INTERESTS AT STAKE
Question of LevyiDg Extra Duty Upon
Sugar From Holland Depends
on the Decision.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The question
of whether beet sugars exported from
Holland to the United States should all
be practically excluded from this coun-
try by the imposition of an additional
duty equivalent to the bounty paid by
the Dutch government, is one which the
treasury department will have to decide
in the near future. At present sugars
are allowed to come in on payment of
the duty fixed by the sugar schedule in
the tariff bill, with the understanding
that if it is found that the additional
duty stands it shall be paid.
Section of the Dingley act provides
that when any country shall pay either
directly or indirectly, any bounty or
grant bounty upon the expectation of
any article of merchandise it shall be
subject, when imported into the United
States to an additional duty equal to the
export bounty. This is aimed espe-
cially at sugars, and the treasury de-
partment has called upon the state de-
partment to secure through consuls and
ministers detailed information as to ex-
port paid by foreign governments.
It has been assumed that the new
Dutch sugar law which went into effect
recently, provided for an export bounty,
but this seems to be open to considerable
doubt. A draft of this law has been
forwarded by the minister at The Hague.
The treasury officials have not yet ex-
amined it carefully enough to decide
whether it provides in any direct way
for bounty on expectation. The draft
for the new law shows that premiums
are allowed on beet sugars produced and
withdrawn from the sugar factories, but
this does not seem to be an export
bounty, as it Is the same on sugars with
drawn for home consumption as on
those shipped abroad. 1t is doubtful
whether this can be construed to be 6
bounty or grant upon the expectation
of the sugar, and this may lead to de
cision that no additional duties can bt
levied on Dutch sugar on account of the
bounty.
The effect of such decision would bC
to give Dutch beet sugars an advantage
in the American market over German
Austrian and French sugars, as thos
countries pay bounLies on the exporta
tion of their sugars, and when they ar
imported into the United States the,
must pay additional duties equivalent t.
the bounties.

SIN. SHAME. THEN DEATH.
H Russell Ward Killed by Plunging
From a Train.

From a Train.
CHICAGO, Sept. "a man of the name
of Ward, of San Francisco, a passenger
on the Chicago & Northwestern over
land flyer, which arrived today, and who
is believed to be the man who eloped
last summer with the wife of Millionaire
Bradbury, of Los Angeles, leaped from
the window of Pullman car while the
train was rushing through Iowa last
night and was killed.
A telegram was received from Wheat
lands almost at the same time the train
pulled into Chicago which said Wards
body, clad only in night robes, had been
found near that station. 1t is believed
he was demented.
1t is not known at what hour Ward
jumped from the train. His absence
was discovered by Conductor Roundy,
when the train was between Geneva and
Chicago. All of the suicides clothing
and effects were found IN the berth he
occupied.
The police of Chicago are mystifed
over the case. Yesterday afternoon a
telegram was received at the central
station as follows: "Please send good
man to drawing room B, car No. 2, of
the east bound overland Northwestern
in Chicago at 80"
The telegram was sent from Fremont,
Neb., yesterday afternoon at O'Clock.
1t bore no signature. Detective Brod-
erick met the train at the depot and on
investigation found that the drawing
room B was the room the suicide had
occupied. A detective was informed by
Conductor Koundy that the telegram
the police had received had been sent
by Ward, who left the tram at Fremont
long enough to send it. G. F. Goldman,
conductor, and G. M. Galloway, porter
of the Pullman car, occupied by Ward,
said that prior to his retiring last night
he.exhibited no signs of insanity.

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away bottle of their Digestive Cordial
to any one who might call at their New

great many people thought they we're
crazy.
Subsequent events proved to have
been very clever advertising transac-
ton, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, 1t was in the end
profitable; nearly every one that took a
free bottle came back for more and paid
for it with pleasure, saying they had de-
rived better results from its use than
from any other medicine they had ever
used.

A Famous Kentucky Tragedy Recalled by the

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 24.-The death of Sol Sharp,
the turfman. at Cincinnati yesterday recalls one
Of the most celebrated of the tragedies that have
occurred in Kentucky. Sharp was tho only sur
viving grandson of Solomon Sharp, one Of tho
princi al figures in the affair.
Seventy years ego Solomon Sharp was a noted
politician. a wealthy resident OF Bowling Green,
and had inst been elected to the Legislature.
and was the leading candidate for Speaker of
tho House. Before election he had been atten-
tive to a Miss Cook, q member of a prominent
family, and was charged with being tho father
OF her child. Tho charge was brought up
against him in tho campaign. Sharp attempted
to parry 1t by asserting that the child's father
was a mulatto.
The girl WAS beautiful. and Jeroboam Beau
chtmp. a romantic young man. wished to marry
her in spite of her betrayal. She consented on
condition that he kill Sharp. The night before
the Legislature met Sharp was called to his
door In Frankfort and murdered with a knife
thrust. Suspicion fell upon Beauchamp. who
had married Miss Cook. He was arrested, found
guilty, and sentenced to be hanged. The night
before the execution his wife was admitted to
his cell and killed herself with q dagger. Beau
champ also stabbed himself, but inflicted only q
flesh wound, and was hanged. The story was
dr1matlzed, and was also the subject of Il no vel

MFRS. DEpLIN's sUDD EN- DEATH.
Her Body Exhumed ana . Decp wound Found
IN Her Brenst.

L~AMBERTvILLE. n. j.. Nov. 24.-On Saturday
last Mrs. Margaret Dcvlin. aged 96. who lived
with her brother.in-law, James Devlin Of Stoney
Hill. Bucks county, Pa, across the river from
here, died suddenly. On Sunday morning her
remains were taken to Yardley and Inferred in
the cemetery there. For some time Mrs. Devlin
had boon growing foeblcr. and her death was
not q surprise to the neighbors; but when they
learned that sho was buried SO soon after her
demise. a rumor was circulated that she had not
died n natural death.
On Tuesday morning the Coroner received
word bv telephone from q person who refused to
reveal his identity that Mrs. Devlin had been
murdered. The Coroner endeavored to ascer.
tain the name Of his Informant, but without sue
cess. He decided, however, 10 have the body
eXhumed. which was done on Tuesday after
noon. DIR. E c. Hancock OF Yardley performed
an autopsy and found u deep incised wound in
the right. breast. through the lung. into the
back. When the result was given out 1t
caused great excitement. To-day 1t was
learned that Mrs. Devlin had always been
on good terms with the family with whom
she lived and also that she had no money.
Indeed there seems to be no motive that
cnn no assigned for the. commission OF crime.
Mr.. Devlin and his family are all at home. 1t 10
reported tonight that q colored man who acted
queerly was seen looking arounl the Devlin
house on Friday and Sat, rday, and 1t is thought
he may have committed tho decd, as he has not
been seen since. No arrests have heen made.
and It is unlikely that there will be until after
the inquest is held on Friday.
