THE SUGAR TRUST.
A Representative Of Arbuckle Bros.
Testifes Before Commission
HENRY PAYNE ON CURRENCY REFORM.
The National Committeeman Thinks Bill
VIII Be Formulated In Congress Placing
the Country on Gold standard
Basis Foreign Wheat Crop.

Washington, June l6.-The industri-
al commission held only an afternoon
session and heard but one witness yes
terday, j. n. Jarvie, Of the firm OF Ar
buckle Bros, and manager Of the firms
sugar refining business Mr.. Jarvie's
testimony was brief. He was easy and
courteous in his attitude toward his in
quisitors, refusing to answer only one
question, viz. How much il cost his
company to refine sugar lie said he
did not wish to give information OF that
sort to his business competitors His
firm. he said, had never cut the price OF
sugar except to meet the rates OF the
American Sugar Refining company,
commonly known as the sugar trust.
When asked II the Arbuckles
would continue to meet their
rivals figures, he replied deci-
sively that his firm was in the
refining business to stay. Beyond that
he did not wish to say. Witness in
speaking of the coffee business, In
which the American sugar refinery
had invaded the Arbuckles' field, said
that, while there had been decline in
prices, that it would not be fair to lay
it all to competition, as there had been
n great increase in coffee production all
over the world, last years crop going
from ll,000,0O to l5,O00,OOO bags.
When asked how long the rival com.
panies could keep on selling sugar at
a loss, Mr.. Jarvic replied, cheerfully,
that he thought a concern supplying
90 per cent. of the sugar sold in this
country would lose more under these
conditions than the firm supplying the
other ten per cent, and that he had
the ten per cent end of the bargain
now.

Trade in fish continues excellent, and
the dealers are all filling orders about

which to supply current demands.
The call for cured fish is not so urgent
as it was earlier in the Lenten season,
and to some extent the lower prices on
eggs is expected to affect the require
rnents of consumers of fish during the
balance of the period.
Supplies Of cured stock, however, are
tanned. The first vessel Of the Grand
Banks fleet set sail this week, and
others are getting ready to follow. The
southern mackerel fishery is also claim
ing some attention at present, a few Of
the old-timers being fitted out for a
cruise which will begin before the end
of March, as usual.
The arrivals of fresh mixed fish from
the fishing fleet have comprised Al car
goes, with an aggregate of 972, 900 lbs.
This is a pretty god lot of fish for the
that We're opportune for the sellers,

of the quantity. Gloucester arrivals
have footed up 1,074,000 lbs Of fresh
mixed fish from 16 vessels and 245, 900

Latest From Manila.

Manila, March 14.-Noon--At o'clock
this morning, hearing the insurgents
bugles sounding, Scott's battery dropped
three shells into the woods ON the left of
the Pasig church. No reply was made,
and at 7:45 the Twenty-second regular
infantry advanced until they encoun-
tered a number of volleys. This fire was
returned with interest. The line then
wheeled towards Pateros. The troops
followed the roads, while the gunboats
Oeste and Laguna de Bay assisted in sup
pressing the fire on the left flank. Three
rebel canoes were captured on the river.
The rebel Sharpshooters at Caloocan
continue active, but no casualties are re-
ported.
General Wheaton attacked and cap
tured the city of Pasig, east Of Manila,
yesterday afternoon. The enemy made
a stand for an hour, but at the end of
that time was forced to retreat. The loss
of the insurgents was 30 killed and 16
prisoners. OF the United States forces
six were wounded.

Veterans Preference Act Void.

Chicago, March 13.-Judge Gibbons has
declared that the act of the legislature of
Illinois, passed in 1897, giving veterans
of the Civil war preference over other
candidates in civil service examinations,
is void, because it gives a special or
exclusive privilege, and because it is
not cOnSiSte t with the basic principles
underlying the nature of our institutions.
John Maloney brought suit to review
the act of the civil service board in Civ
ing a place to Aaron L. Brown, a veteran
of the Seventy-first New York, whose
examination average was 10 points be-
low that of Maloney. An appeal was
allowed to secure a final adjudication
in the supreme court.
