out from inner circles to-day as feat
ure of the skyrocket work in the Sugar
stocks that meeting will take place
here soon at which all the glucose. su-
gar and coffee interests of the United
States are expected to be present. 1t

nave instigated the conference, or
whether outside financial interests are
at the bottom of it. 1t is known that the
great fight between the sugar trust and
the Arbuckles has reached a plane
Where the sugar trust is making inroads
on the package coffee business of tho
Arbuckles. The Arbuckles, on the other
hand. with their great sugar plant, are
leaving no stone unturned to break into
the sugar trade of the trust. The at
tempt. it is said. will be made ITO regu-
late the business by leaving sugar to
the trust and coffee to the Arbuckles.
II. o. HaVcmeyer, president of the
American Sugar Refining company. is
said to have acquired a large interest
IN the glucose trust, and rumors of a
combination of these interests are be-
IeVed to have caused to-day's rise in
the stock Of both.

Danger OF Becoming
Charge on the County.

The jurors in department I. of the
yesterday in a body and petitioued for
a holiday on this, the 18th day of
March. They made such a strong case
that court could not fail ia recognize
the force Of their arguments, and he

Edward Westlake, who recently OBJ
tanned a divorce from Annie NJ. West
lake and was decrccd the owner of half
the property standing in her name,
yesterday applied to the court for the
appointment of a receiver. and gave
notice that the matter would be called
up tomorrow morning. In an affi-
davit Westlake says that for many
years past and up to the present time,
Mrs. WeStlake has been in the eXclu-
sive possession of the property and has
drawn large royalties from the mining
ground and a great sum in rents from
dwellings, and is now collecting month
ly $1l0 in rents. Che has continued
to collect the rents since the trial and
verdict in the divorce case and re-
fuses to account to the plaintiff for any
part thereof. Westlake says that he
is without property or means of any
kind. and is suffering from a sore leg,
so that he cannot work and can with
difficulty walk with the assistance of
cane, and is entirely dependent on his
friends for support. He represents to
the court that if a receiver is appoint
ed for the property he will be able to
negotiate for sufficient funds for his
support otherwise he will become a
charge upon the county. If Mrs. West
lake is allowed to continue collecting
the rents they will become wholly lost
to the plaintiff.

THE CAMP VERDE MURDERER.
The New Mexico Authorities Are Said to
 be Willing to Let Him Co.

Ths New Mexico authorities have signified that they will consent to the extradition of Tom Ketchum, charged with :he murder of Rodgers and Wing field at Camp Verde last July. An eff. fort was made to procure his extradi- tiOn after his arrest Tn New Mexico for train robbery, but the authorities re- fused to give him up on the ground that his conviction of the train robbery was assured, while his connection with the Camp Verde slaughter remained to be established. Since then the trials of train robbers and other criminals in New Mexico have not resulted satisfac- torily. Juries have been too easy with them, and even when it has been shown that there was no doubt of their guilt it has been impossible to get verdict corresponding with the crime.
 It was therefore decided to give Ketchum up. If his trail for murder should end in an acquittal he will be rearrested and taken back to Sante Fe.
 There seems little doubt that he is the Camp Verde murderer. Persons living along the Sante Fe Pacific have identified photograph of Ketchum as that of man who was in that vicinity near the time of the murder. Captain Boyd, who was shot at the same time that Rodgers aud Wingfeld were mur- dered, believes that the photograph was that of the murderer. In the ar. rest of Ketchum for train robbery he was shot in the arm. Blood poisoning set in and it was thought he was going

RIVAL OF SUGAR TRUST.
Colossal Plant to Be Built In PhiIa-
delphia-

Philadelphia, Aug. "A new rival of the
Sugar trust has entered the field. The
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company ex-
poets to have in operation by next jan
uary a Colossal plant, to be erected at
Shackamackon street wharf, on the Della
ware river.
A large tract of land along the Belt
Line railroad has been bought by z. A.
Laudell, president of the Kensington Nat
ional bank, at a cost of nearly 800, 600,
and plans for a building have been sub
mitted. The capacity of the plant at the
outset will be 500 barrels a day, and one
of the men interested in the concern said
the United States in the power to cheaply
turn sugar into granulated.
This confidence, he said, was based upon
the publication of new and secret pro-
cess for the filtration of sugar It is be-
ueved that the sugar is to be clarified by
ton of these systems. A great saving in
labor expenses, it is reported, will be eff
fected by this process and one of the pro-
JectOrs thought the cost of refining would
be reduced 20 per cent.
The company has purchased and is op-
grating under the old charter of the
Pennsylvania Refining company. The
capital stock has been fixed at S, 600. 000
Men who became interested in the en-
terprise were assured that the refinery
was to be built to make sugar not to be
sold to the trust or any of It's rivals In
be able to get all the raw sugar it wants
regardless of the tariff on Cuban sugar.
One of them said that the new company
would have no difficulty in disposing of

New York, Aug. 4.-"The dispatch
from Austin, Texas, to the effect that

consent to the forming of the cattle
combination if it constituted a trust, Is
correct so far as it goes" said George

interest capitalists in the establish
ment of an immense ranch in Texas
and New Mexico on which 900, 900 cattle
can be rounded up.
I'VE do not intend to create q trust, -
he said. Il had some correspondence
with Attorney General Smith and he
indorses the scheme on the lines we
propose to pursue. A cattle trust is
impracticabl BILE, and, therefore, could not
