WILL GO BY WATER.
Opposition to Sugar Trust will ShiI
via Panama.


Eastern refined sugar coming to the
San Francisco market will not arrive
by rail, and the local firms interested
in the importation have both the Pa
mama and the Horn routes under con-
sideration at the present time. The
Southern Pacific rate is $1.65 per 100
pounds from New York, which means
that sugar cannot be laid down in San
Francisco for $6.65 per 100 pounds, at
which price it is entirely out of COM
petition with western refined sugar.
1t has been charged that the rail
road company has advanced its rates
to the figure named, but Freight Traf-
fic Manager Sproul says thet
the rate has always been $l.65,
and at that figure no offerings have
been made. BY the Horn or Panama
routes sugar can be laid down in San
Francisco at $500 per 100 pounds,
which is a competitive rate. BY rea-
son of the tariff on refined sugar it is
impossible to import the Chinese pro-
duct, even if it were sufficient to be a
factor in the trade.
The $500 sacks of sugar alleged to
be on the way firm New York at the
so cent rate. which is denied by the
officers of the railroad company, is not
sufficient amount to cut any mate
rial figure in the local market, yet in
spite of this fact there has been no
advance in the rate of refined sugar.
Tt is rumored that the rate will go up
after the Arbucllle shipment has ar
rived and been disposed of, which
will take several months.

Kansas Volunteers May Decide State
ELECTION.

TOPEKA, Kans., October 2S.-The
members of the First battalion of the
Twenty-second Kansas regiment, that
has sailed from San Francisco for Ma
Mia, carry ballots with them, and will
vote on Kansas officers about midway
between Honolulu and Manila.
These 600 men live in Western Kan
sas, where members of the Legislature
have been elected by less than twenty
five majority. Both state committees
admit that fully twenty-five members
of the house in sparsely settled west
ern counties can be chosen or defeat
ed by the mid-ocean vote. What wor-
ries them is the possibility of delay
in receiving the returns here until
February LIST, one month after the leg
islature meets.
With very close vote on state Off

REPUBLICAN HOSPITALITY.
How State Convention Delegates
Will Be Entertained.

A meeting of the Presidents Of the
Republican clubs in this city and vi
cinity was held in the parlors Of the
Golden Eagle Hotel last night to take
steps toward entertaining the delegates
to the State Convention, which meets
in this city on the 23d instant.
The meeting was organized by the
election of DR.. F. f. Tebbets as Chair
man, Frank Whitmore as Secretary and
John II. Dolan Treasurer.
DR.. Tebbets announced that two
modes of procedure had been men,
toned in regard to the entertainment
of visiting delegates by members of
the local clubs, one of which was to
take a suite of rooms at the hotel and
have on hand cigars, light beverages,
etc, together with a string band. The
other is to give a grand high jinks at
the Old Pavilion, at which the dele
gates might be given jolly good time,
meet the members of the local clubs and
listen to an entertainment, to consist
of music, speeches, etc.
Opinion was pretty evenly divided be-

A Combination That Resulted in q

A drunken Japanese employed on

A number Of Japs occupy house on
the Thisby ranch, and one Of them
he that is now dead-showed up yester-
day morning with a pistol, which he
fiourished in cowboy style and threat
ened to shoot a fellow-laborer named
Baya. The latter was equal to the
emergency, however, and before the
other fellow could do any damage Baya
pumped a couple of bullets into him and
made a job for the Coroner
A son of Mrs. Thisby FASTENED to the
scene of the shooting and arrested
Baya, and word was sent to Sheriff
Johnson and Coroner Clark. The Sher-
iff notified Deputy Alvin Johnson of
Isleton to bring Baya to the city, which
he did last night.
A Deputy Coroner Went to Isleton
and held an inquest on the body, and
started with the remains for this city
last evening. He had not arrived at
a late hour last night, hence no addf-
tional particulars of the affair were re-
ceiVed here.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The steamship

PASSENGER RATE WAR
Proceedings Of the Interstate Com
merce Commissinn

CHICAGO, August 2-The question
of ticket scalpers and their relations
with the railroad companies entered
into the proceedings of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which to-day
continued it's investigation into the
causes Of the Canadian Pacific rate
war.
After F. w. Whitney. representing
the Great Northern Railway, had con-
cluded his direct statement he was re-
quested by Mr.. McNicoll, Passenger
Traffic Manager of the Canadian Pa
cific, to read a letter having reference
to the reduction of passenger rates
from ST. Paul to Victoria, B. C. The
letter was written in 1886 to the Cana
dian Pacific Railway Company. The
first paragraph was to the effect that
there had been no difficulty with the
ticket scalpers on the subject of rates,
but concluded with the suggestion that
the rates to Victoria should be reduced
and the matter taken out Of the hands
of scalpers.
Mr.. Whitney, when asked to read the
correspondence, said he would be will
ing to do so provided McNicoll would
file the letters he had received on the
subject
During the discussion that ensued
McNicoll declined to give the required
assurances, and eventually the Chair
man ruled that whenever Whitney
based his statements on a lsttsr he will
be expected to produce and file the
original correspondence. He added that
the Canadian Pacific, when it presented
its case, would be expected to do the
same.
Whitney, in the course of his state
ment, maintained that American lines
had been held up by the Canadian
Pacific, and at the price Of peace had
been obliged to give up differentials.
Speaking of the increased traffic
brought about by the Klondike boom,
Whitney declared that if the Canadian
Pacific had maintained tariff rates the
American railroad companies would
not have sustained enormous losses
The speaker made a strong point of
the fact that the passenger rates
throughout the country had been COM
pletely demoraliZed as result of the
action of the Canadian Pacific Railway
Whitney showed that the Canadian Pa
ciflc had forced companies to reduce
passenger fares from New York to ST.
Paul and other Western points to l
cent a mile. He declared that such a
cut meant the loss of an enormous sum
to the companies. The transportation
Of passengers to these Western points
cost at least cents a mile, and where
the country is hilly and sparsely popu-
lated the cost was even greater
Replying to a question as to whether
the Eastern lines had suffered through
the lowering of rates, Whitney said he
had been informed by railroad officials
in New York that the loss to Eastern
lines had been appalling, despite the
fact that the volume of business had
greatly increased.
During the afternoon the side Of the
Canadian Pacific was presented by
General Passenger Agent McNicou of
that road. He attributed the lowering
of rates not to thecompetition of the
Canadian Pacific, but to the operations
OF the ticket scalpers and to the system
Of issuing mileage tickets.
At 5:15 o'clock the Chairman ad-
journed further business until to-n1or-
row.
