FIGHTING THE SUGAR TRUST.
Arbuckles ignore Jobbers and An
nounce Another Cut.


nounce Another Cut.
Chicago, Dec. 23.-The western head
quarters of Arbuckle Bros. today an
nounced another cut in the price of re-
fined sugar. Quotations of 5.14 cents
per pound were made to retail dealers
direct, obbers being ignored, as in yes
terday's cut. This is about SIG of a
cent below the American Sugar Rein
ing company's jrice. The reduction in
prices made by the Arbuclles has not
been met by the trust.
When asked today the reason for
selling to retailers direct, instead of
dealing with jobbers, Arbuckle COM
pany representatives said that their
prices had not been recognized in the
combine. There was a. strong feeling,
as far as jobbers were concerned, but
whether the practice of dealing with
retailers would be continued had not
been decided.
Charles Slack, the grocer, says: 1t
is rather difficult for me to understand
the action of the Arbucllle Bros. 1t
may result in a merry war and it may
not The trust and the Arbuckles have
been nagging at each other for con-
siderable time and it may work up to
the consolidation of the two concerns
or to the dissolution of the combine.
The Arbuckles are very wealthy and
they are in a position to do much be-
fore being whipped into line"

light upon the unhappy separation of
the founder of Methodism from his
wife
It is a forcibie commentary upon the
eternal consequences of domestic diff
culties that people are supposed to be
interested in such troubles after both
parties to them have been dead for 100
years or more. It is hardly to be ex-
pected that any considerable amount
OF light is to be thrown upon John
Wesley's home troubles by any evil
dence which may be discovered at this
late day, since his biOgraphers have
told the story with great plainnesS and
with as much fullness as possible Yves
ley was married. His wife proved a
woman of violent and Jealous temper
When her fury was reused she assailed
her husband with bitter language. laid
violent hands upon him and pulled his
hair to the yielding point. and finally
Wesley left her to find other employ
ment for her talents and her talons
Southey, the biographer of Wesley
calls Mrs. Wesley zone of the three
bad wives" the other two being Jobs
wife and Xantippe
John Wesley was n man not ONLY
good enough to lead a. great. moral and
religious movement, but he was brave
and strong enough to mold and or
Sanize a great society in the shape to
give it the highest efficiency for its de-
signed and declared purposes. He was
man with the highest qualities of the
diplomatist and the soldier. He was a
born leader, and yet he abandoned the
task of trying to be a husband His
faith and fortitude broke down before
a scolding wife. He had no resources
to quiet or disarm the fancies OF a
jealous woman. Thus was weakness
mingled with the strength of John
Wesley.
Doubtless the story which has been
told for 100 years has aroused much
sympathy for the husband, and pos
sibly some for his wife. Wesley, il. has
been reasoned, was a man of a refined
and exalted spiritual nature. and he
must have suffered acutely during the
years he lived with a virago. who has
been classed with the nagging wife of
Job and the raging spouse of Socrates.
The separation might well have been
a source of sorrow to disturb him and
sadden and embitter his life. But all
the evidence at hand contradicts this
sad superstition. John Wesley was
doubtless man of high spiritual per-
ceptionS, but he was also a very busy
one. and that was what caused the
trouble. He had 800. sermons q year to
preach, the conferences to look after
and an immense amount of work to do
that kept him travelling all over Eng
land, and when he came home he went
on with his reading and writing II
was this absorption that started the
tongue and claws of Mrs. Wesley.
When the distracted husband per-
ceived the rising thermometer and fall
ing barometer he moved from the
storm center. He lived for years. and
to a remarkable age, and in 1890 the
year before his death. he said: II do
not remember to have felt lOwness of
spirits for quarter of an hour since
1 was born" Well might such a man
continue to smile at Satan's range and
face a frOwning world"

SULTAN'S BUTCHER KILLED.
Notorious CHAM Bey Loses His Life
In a Brawl.

Constantinople Dec. 23.-Ghani Bey,
the sultan's aide de camp. was muir
dered yesterday by Hafuz Pasha, in a
quarrel which took place in a pastry
cooks. Hafuz pash3 escaped, and is
still at alrge. The official press bureau
prohibits any mention of the affair in
the newspapers.
1t appears, however, that HafdZ Pa
sha after slight alteration, placed
the muzzle of his revolver close to the
head of CHAM Bey and fired. CHAM
Bey died after a few hours CT suffer-
ing.
CHAM won the sultan's favor and
promotion by committing numerous
crimes. He was sent to restore order
in EDirus after the Graeco- Turkish
war. At the head of three hundred
lawless companions he robbed, pillaged
and murdered by wholesale until he
was summoned home, only to be pro-
NOTED to a colonelcy. Then he contin-
ued his iniquities here. He would enter
a shop, draw a revolver and compel it's
owner to open his safe and give up the
contents.

He was helpless and Ryan again
fioored him with a vicious right-hand
swing. Dick came to time once more,
only to fall a victim to a hard upper
cut. Then Chief Of Police Bull jumped
into the ring and stopped the bout and
Roche awarded the fight to Ryan.
The action of the police was gener-
ally approved as preventing unneces-
sary brutality. 1t was Ryan's fight all
the way through. He wore O'Brien
down by incessant jabbing and had
him bleeding at the nose and eye early
in the fight Several times Ryan had
his man going, but although he made
dozens of passes he could not land that
right swing till the fourteenth round.
Ryan was too quick on his feet and
too scientific for his opponent, who
could simply stand still and punch, and
be punched.

about defraying the expense of the
investiture. NJ. Faure consulted a
nObleman and diplomat who knows the
history of all orders. and asked what

was extremely annoyed over the mat

q number of the guests who were pres
ent at the investiture.
1t is quite true that. as already not

was a bill, pure and simple. for 5000

RUSHING TROOPS TO CUBA.
Large Force viii Be Necessary t
Maintain Order.

44d4AJesilL O1QCI.
Washington, Dec. 23.-There is every
evidence in the war department that
strenuous efforts are making to put
enough American troops in Cuba to
meet any call upon them through the
speedy evacuation of the Spanish gar
risons. All the transports available at
al Atlantic ports are being prepared
under rush orders for sailing south.
The Spanish are carrying out their
evacuation contract with unusual ce-
lerity. and there is some question
whether American troops can be con-
cenuated at certain points before the
Spaniards leave. Meantime the Gu
bans are preparing for demonstrations
during evacuation week, and it is
thought very desirable to have an ade-
quate force on hand to prevent any
outbreak that would jeopardize the
American entente at the outset
There viii be thirteen customs houses
on the Cuban coast to be turned over
to American control, and, although
some of these viii doubtless be closed,
these ports will require a large guard.
Besides this, the war department is
having quite a search for competent
customs men understanding Spanish to
fill the custom offices.

Rome, Dec. 2S.-The pope today, at
the reception Of the Christmas greet
ings of the cardinals and other pre-
Iates, appeared to be in excellent
health. Replying to their congratula-
tons, he referred to the sinister events
of 1898" and said it was high time the
governments of Europe united to stop
''unheard-of outrages and savage ex-
examinations"
But, the pontifI added, this could not
be stopped until the fear of God, the
basis of all morality, is revived in the
conscience of the people, and becomes
the guiding principle of the orgahiza-
tion Of states"
In regard to the present position of
the church in Italy, the pope pointed
out that the symptoms were not re-
assuring for the new year. He added
that the conditions imposed upon the
head of the church, in violation of his
dignity and rights, were not enough,
for now it was sought to cast odium
upon the press. which openly espoused
the defense of his interests and the in
terests of religion and morality"
