MOVE in SUGAR WAR.
New Plan by Which the Trust Will
Sell It's Products.

| Washington, Sept. 13.-The Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company surprised
the wholesale trade today by issuing a
circular in which it announced a new
plan for the sale of its products. It
was generally known that the com
pany had some scheme on foot, but it
was not expected that tha matter
would come to a head before the con-
Vention OF the. e.Wholesa1e Grocers' as
sCciation at Saratoga next week The
circular sent out today is headed ''The
Revised Plan for the Distribution Of
Sugar. 1t goes into operation on
Monday next, and in part reads as
fellows:
Sugar will be billed by the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company at the
New York Qong) list price for each
state, plus the freight to jobbers' town,
same as heretofore. The 3-16 will be
deducted from the invoice, and same
will be subject to discount of 1 per
cent for cash in seven days. The L
per cent trade discount is discon-
tinued. The jCbbers must sell the su-
gar according to the factor plan, tax
ing New York card prices for each
state as a basis, adding the tate of
freight inrthe rate book. and may de
duct up to 3-16 of a cent per pound,
and this will give the lowest delivered
price at any point.
"Jcbbers who handle the American
Sugar Refining company's products
with the exception of domestic beet
and domestic oane sugars) and sell
them strictly to their rules and terms
and not below the lowest prices. as ex-
pressed above, of the factor plan, will
at the end of sixty days receive from
the American Sugar Refining company
voluntary gratuity CT 1s of a cent per
pound on their purchases. All out
standing contracts are to conform with
the above
In the t1ada this latest move of the !
American company is not regarded as
a betterment of the situation. The
trust has simply met the cut of the in
dependent refners. Under the old fac
tor plan the jobbers had a profit of |
about $40 on every 100 barrels sold. |
Under the new terms it is expected |
that they will get an extra profit of
about 81 ON every 100 barrels.

REFUSES TO RETIRE.
Offers made by Col. Wesfon's Friends
10 Gen. Ea0an.

Washington. Sept. 1S.-Overtures
have been made to Commissary Eagan,
! it is said, to induce him to take ad-
vantage of the voluntary retirement
law, in order that Col. Weston. who
is now acting commissary general.
may be advanced to the head of the
subsistence department. As the case
now stands, Col Weston is doing all
the work of the Office and General
Eagan is getting the pay. In other
words, Col. Weston is virtually pay
ing the penalty for General Eagans
offenses. General Eagan is now draw
ing full pay at the rate of $500 a
year, and. being under suspension, is
prohibited from doing any military
service. If he went on the retired list
he would receivs but three-quarers
pay, or $4,125 a year, which would
mean loss to him Of $6,S75 for the
five years remaining to him en- the
active list.
It is understood that the friends OF
Gel. Weston have offered to make
good this difference in case General
Eagan Tacates the Office at once, but
that he has declined all propositions
TO that end.
Although Col Weston has all the
duties and responsibilities devolving
upon the commissary general he is re-
ceiVing only the pay of a colonel Of
the subsistence department.
The president is embarrassed by the
situation. 1t is said he would welcome
the immediate retirement of General
Eagan in order that justice might be
done Col. Weston, and it is said to be
a matter Of regret to him that it is
beyond the power of the executive to
retire an officer except for disability
until he reaches the age of 81 years,
which will not occur in the case of
General Eagan for five years yet. The
law authorizes an officer to retire upon
his own application after forty years
Of service, and General Eagan has
been Intellectually urged to take ad-
vantage Of that statute.
