A MISSING SKIPPER.
Captain George Ankers Being An
XiouSIy Looked for.

SAN FRANCISCO, April George
Ankers, one OF the best-known skip
pers sailing in and out OF this port,
Is missing, and his friends and family
are unable TO obtain even a trace OF
him He was last seen FRIDAY night
on the Oakland ferry, which is the last
trace OF his whereabouts.
Captain Ankers is master on the
schooner Oceania Vance, which arrived
last Thursday from Honolulu with a
cargo of sugar. The vessel is consign-
ed sto J. r. Hanify of Is California
street. Immediately after his arrival
in port Captain Ankers reported to his
owners and the schooner was sent 70
Oakland creek to unload her cargo.
The schooner is chartered to carry
redwood from Eureka to Sydney, and
is scheduled to sail on the 18th inst.
| The crew appeared at the office of
Shipping Commissioner Gwin yester-
day for their wages, but Deputy Joe
Curtin reported that Captain Ankers
had not yet appeared to sign their dis
charges. The deputy telephoned to j.
r. Hanify and the owners, and found
that the firm was as anxious to find
Ankers as he was. The search has
been continued for the past three days.
Today the crew was paid off by First
Mate Hennings.
Ankers, when in port, resided with
his wife in Mill Valley. The family is
IalmOst distracted over the disappear
ance of the mariner. Relatives call al
most hourly at the Office of Mr.. Han
ify, but their search seems hopeless.
AnlNers was formerly first officer on
one Of the Pacific Mail steamers. He
has been master on the Vance for
lnearly two years. Ankers is about As
lyears old

SUGAR WAR AGAIN
Brandenstein Bucking the
Trust Once More.
Drop In the Price Alrsady-Hong
Kong RefinerieS Supply the
Material-The Fight.

There is trouble ahead for the sugar
trust, and the prospect of war in San
Francisco, which will temporarily de-
crease the price of refined sugar for the
wholesalers and consumers on the Pa
clfic coast. The same firm that was be-
hind the deal before is engineering the
new one. Some time ago NJ J. Bran
tdenstein & Co. entered into an arrange
ment with the Arbuckles of New York
and endeavored to cut rates on sugar
in San Francisco A few carloads were
imported and fight was precipitated.
All went we'll until the sugar trust
made a combination with the Southern
Pacific, which promptly raised the rate
of freight to such a prohibitive figure
that Brandenstein was forced to dis
New York. He was also unable to
make profitable arrangements to bring
the sugar by water by way of Panama
or the Horn. At that time the Bran
Idensteins intimated that they were not
through with their sugar deal, and a
few weeks ago they began to make
their word good. The importation was
made so quietly by way of San Diego
that few people knew what was being
done. The sugar Brandenstein is now
importing is cane sugar from Java and
Manila, refined in English and Scotch
factories at Hongkong. 1t is carried
by the steamers of the California and
Oriental Steamship Company, which is
part of the Santa Fe system. Hereto
fore these sugars have been landed in
San Diego and reshipped to this city,
but in future the sugar will be landed
in San Francisco at a saving of time
and expense, and the steamers will
proceed from here to San Diego with
the rest of their cargoes.
The real battle began when the sugar
was placed on the San Francisco mar
ket The Hongkong sugar was offered
by the BrandensteinS at quarter of a
cent below the market price, and the
trust met the cut by dropping five
eighths of a cent below the original
price. The Brandensteins went a quar-
ter of a cent lower and the trust
dropped three-siXteenths of cent,
making thirteen-siXteenths in all. The
| last cut came yesterday, and now the
war is fairly on, and no one knows
where it will end. The Brandensteins
are in the fight to stay, as no proh1b-
tive railroad rate can be made now to
shut Atlantic sugars out of San Fran
cisco The new importers are quite
sure of their contract with the Santa
Fe Company and are ready to pour any
number of shiploads of sugar into San
Francisco. They are Independent OF
the Arbuckles and everybody else, hav-
ing kept their plans to themselves I'M
til all the details were settled beyond
the power of the trust to interfere.
The Brandenstein Company is rich
enough to fight the trust with its own
weapons. Meanwhile the benefits go to
the wholesaler, the retailer and the
consumer, and the profits of the trust
are correspondence diminished. The
interesting feature Of the situation
from the consumers standpoint lies in
the statement generally accepted by
the trade that the Brandensteins can
underselI the trust one-eighth of a
cent no matter what price the trust
may make.
