BIG SUGAR COMBINE.
Negotiations In Progress Looking
Toward a Consolidation.

Chicago, June 1.-THE Record to-
morrow will say:
That negotiations are in progress
looking toward a mammoth sugar con-
sOlidation is now admitted by one of
the men most interested. These sto-
rieS have been circulated at various
times. remote and recent, but nothing
confirmatory has been obtainable. 1t
is not asserted that the deal on hand
at present is in tangible shape, but it
is real enough to have necesSitated
conferences in New York and the plans
are now under consideration by the
executives concerned.
From the widely different sources to-
day came reports of an independent
union of the American Sugar Refining
company and the Glucose Sugar Rein
ing company with the subsequent alb
sorption by purchase or otherwise, of
the plants offered by the Arbuckle in
terests and the Doscher refineries with
perhaps other competing plants.
Il can say nothing definite at this
time said one of the head men of the
recent conferences. Il am in con-
fdential position with reference to the
matter But l am at liberty to say
there is a good deal more in the reports
of a consolidation of sugar interests
than is generally credited. Negotia-
tions are in progress on the general
lines indicated, but / cannot speak
more specifically"

THE HOTTEST DAY EVER REC
oRDED IN NEW YORK.
Seven Deaths and Many Gases of
Prostration-High Teperature In
Other Cities.

New York. June 6.-The record for
the hottest day in New York since the
establishment of the weather bureau
was reached today. From early morn
ing. when the thermometer stood
around rs. until late in the afternoon
the mercury went steadily up. At )
o'clock it reached the limit. 9S.
On only two June days in the past
twelve years has the temperature
reached anything like it did today. In
the year 1883. and also in 1898. the
maximum for June was 80. The record
at the weather bureau was IS degrees
and the atmosphere was terribly OPP
presSive.
The opening of the hot season with
the record-breaking temperature, was
accompanied by an unusual number of
prostrationS for this time of year. In
New York City and several of the near
by towns there We're thirty-one pros
trations recorded. Twenty-three of
these occurred in New York City.
Only two cases were women. the re-
mainder We're mostly workingmen.
Seven deaths were reported up to 1
a. M
In Jersey City six prostrations were
recorded, one of these being a woman.
Long Island City reported two, one

How Manifesto Was Received.

The farewell manifesto of General
Gomez is the principal topic of CONVEX
sation among Americans and Cubans of
all shades of politics. The Americans
for the most part consider it an affect
ing address. expressing the real view
of the old patriot, and his sincere in
tention to retire from public life. His
Cuban admirers say the address will
rank among the most famous in his
tory.
His opponents. especially the MEM
bers of the former military assembly,
insist that he has no intention to retire
for more than few weeks. and that
his real object is to gain public sym
pathy. They say also that Colonel Car
los Cespedes virtually writes the greater
part of what Gomez issues to the pub
lie. though. in this instance. probably
third was written by himself.
General Gomez spent the morning at
his residence attending to business. and
hedeclined to see visitors this afternoon
giving as an excuse the weakness that
followed his recent indisposition. To-
ward evening he was seen driving, ac-
companied by an aide. 1t is not thought
probable that ne will leave Havana be-
fore the 1st of July.

SUBJECT OF TRANSPORTATION.
Method of Inquiry By the Industrial
Commission.

Washington, June 6.-The industrial
commission resumed its sittings today
but heard no testimony. A report out
lining method of inquiry on the sub
ject of transportation made by Pro-
fessor Johnson of the University of
Pennsylvania was submitted and re-
ferred to the subcommittee on trans
portation. This plan was prepared I'M
der instructions of the commission,
and, therefore, will most probably be
adopted. The report advised the di-
vision of the inquiry into four parts,
as follows:
First-The control of transportation
corporations by means of charter pro-
visions, giving in this connection a his
tory of efforts in this line, together
with the results of such efforts in diff
ferent states. and also making a COM
parison of European railway charters
with those of the United States.
Standardization as a means of pub
lie control by the states and by con-
greSs.
Third-The control of railroads ex-
ercised by courts versus receivers, and
by means of injunctions.
Fourth-The public control of express
and telegraph companies and carriers
by water, whether further legislation
is necessary, and if so, what form it
should take.

an incident when she went up to the
Croker residence the day before the
shooting and saw Mr.. Fisher out on
the lawn with Miss Croker. the lat
ter being on her bicycle. Both Mr.
er were angry at her. Miss Croker
asked her why she had come up there
and she replied that she came to see
DR.. Fisher. Miss Croker asked her
what right she had to come and Miss
Geertson replied: "A better right than
you or any other woman"
She identified DR.. Fishers pistol and
was asked when she first saw that pis-
tol.
She hesitated and asked Dr. Fisher:
Shall l tell when / first saw that
pistol?" DR.. Fisher frowned and curt
ly answered. Tell anything you
please
The witness then said: IT think the
first time 1 saw that pistol was in his
office about year ago" Her guarded
answers showed that some other time
with an especial interest was in her
mind. The most searching cross-ex-
animation failed to materially shake
her testimony.
Miss Mamie Bond. who was in the
board of education rooms on the
fourth floor when the affair took place.
testified that she heard Miss Geertson
call Help Murder" and then contin-
ued screaming.

STOLE THE KINGS BODY.
The Grave of Lunalilo On Hawaiian
Islands Is Desecrated.

San Francisco. June 6.-The report
comes from Honolulu that when the
tomb of Lunalilo, the barefoot king
of Hawaii" was recently opened, it
was found that the remains had been
removed. and that the metal casket
contained only portions of the grave
clothes. 1t is surmised that the body
may have been taken by natives to a
heather grave in the mountains, as u
thunder storm on the day of burial had
much affected his superstitious sub
jects.
Lunalilo was elected king in 1878. but
thirteen months afterward died of con-
sumption. Although he possessed "a
large fortune he insisted on going about
the streets barefooted at all times. BY
his will. which was not opened until
1881. he left his entire fortune to found
a home for aged Hawaiians.

President Schurman of the Philip

insurrection at once. An official ac-
auainted with the message said it re-
viewed the situation in the islands and
was of an encoura ging nature. The
dispatch was considered by the presi-
dent and Secretary Hay, and the presi-
dent has sent a reply. The nature of
the answer is not divulged.
1t is significant. however, that coin

Otis with instructions in line with the
presidents belief that the restoration
of peace can only be reached by the
complete subjugation of the Filipinos.
General Otis will continue his military
operations throughout the rainy sea-

1t is apparent that the president does
