WILL BE THE KING OF TRUSTS.
NEW SUGAR COMBINE WILL HAVE
$2OO,OO0,O0O CAPITAL.

Havemeyer Said to Have Secured OPP

Increased Capital of American su-
gar Company VIII BE Divided.
Chicago. Dec. 1.-The News to-day says:
There is every prospect that the American
Sugar Company, the Glucose Refining
Company and all of the so-ealled inde-
pendent sugar reineries will be consol-
dated.
H. o. Havemeyer of the. sugar combine
has, it is understood. secured an option on
the Arbuckle Sugar Company, the Dosch-
er concern, and the outside plants in Bos-
ton and New orleans.
1t has been ascertained that representa-
tives of the Havemeyer company have
been in this city in conference with Presi-
dent Mathiessen of the Glucose company
for several days. The result of these con
ferenees, 1t is said, was an option on the
Glucose interests.
The important feature Of the plan is that
the American Sugar Company will in
crease its capitalization from SIS, 900 900 to
5000, 900, 600. 1t is understood that $50, 900. =
900 of this will be given the Glucose people
for their plant, and s2O,0OO,OOO to the out
side refinerles. and that the entire common
stock of the sugar trust will be put on an
s per cent. basis. The rate of disburse-
ment on the preferred shares viii not be
changed, while the holders of ordinary will
be allowed to subscribe for the new certif-
Gates at par.
The capital OF the Glucose Refining Com
pany is $4,000 900, $4,000, coo preferred, and
$2G 900 common, so that certificates will
be taken in presumably at an average of
SIS per share.
When questioned In reference to the
prospective sale of his company, Mr.. Mat
thiessen refused to discuss the matter,
saying:
ANY information that may be of value
to the public will be given out at the prop
er time"
Discredited in New York.

Chicago announcing the formation of a
500 100000 combination embracing the
American Sugar Refining Company, Ar
buckle Brothers, Glucose Sugar Refining
Company and various Independent con-
Germs, was discredted in trade circles here.
At the offices of the concerns interested,
nothing was known of the matter"

Corporations with an aggregate capil al
of more than $500, 600 0O0 are preparing to
move out of the state of Illinois and es-
tabHsh their headquarters in the East,
mainly in New York city.
The chief reason assigned for the radi-
cal change in base of operations is that
the legislation and courts of Illinois have
assumed so distinctly an antitrust COM
plexion in legislation and legal decisions,
that the corporations have decided to re-
taliate by Withdrawing their interests to
other fields.
The principal corporations that are get
ting ready to quit their headquarters in
this city are the following:
Federal Steel Company, American Steel
and Wire Company, American Steel Hoop
Company, American Tin Plate Company

Efforts to Send Expedition of 900
Men to the TransvaaI.
Washington, Dec. 1.-Application was
made by Gustave Theilkuhl at the state
department to-day for 900 passports for
members of the third expedition to be sent
from this country to the Transvaal by the
promoters of the Duchess Dues Legion.
He failed to secure the passports.
He was told, he said, that one reason
why he could not secure them is that they
could not be prepared before Dec. q, the
day the third expedition would sail from
New York.
The second expedition, according to
Theilkuhl, left New York yesterday. Some
of the men went on a French liner and
the other in British ship. Still others,
he says, are going on the Prairie, which
is to carry United States exhibits to the
Paris Exposition.
Thielkuhl expects to go on the third eX-
pedit lion, Dec. 21, which win sail in a spe-
cially chartered vessel and wii carry 900
men. The men that are being sent abro7d,
he explained, are not armed.
Thelkuhl was employed as a messenger
in the patent office until Monday when
he resigned to devote his entire time to the
Transvaa enterprise, His app icaticn to
the state d 2partment was for 900 plssrorts
for an expedition of miners to the Trans
Vaal"

San Francisco, Dec. 1.--Arthur Burns,
who was butcher on the transport Ma
nauense, has returned from Honolulu
where he left the vessel on account of sick
ness.
Burns tells a startling tale of the voy-

serted the vessel at Honolulu, and but
two of the vacancies could be filed before
the departure of the vessel for Manila.
According to Burns the vessel leaked
three days after leaving San Francisco
and the condenser broke down. The re-
frigerating plant collapsed before the ves-
sci reached Honolulu.
Burns states that the ships carpenter,
who was called into consultation regard
ing the condition of the vessel was one
of those who deserted at Honolulu. He
states that the hold was so full of water
that the floor of the lower staterooms was
awash and that he was compelled to seek

Bayombong is the city to which Aguinal-

lac, but the American troops pressed him
so hard that he was unable to carry out
his intention.

formation received from Gen. Lawton
and said it indicated that Bayombong had
been captured the 2Sth of November, and

Mr.. Hanna's mcst intimate friends that he

Notwithsiand ng the published state

almost daily receiving from influential par
ty leaders, representing practical al Sec
tons Of the country, letters to the effect
that he has their fullest confidence and
support and urging that he is the strong
est man available fer the place.
Mr.. Hanna's closest friends, and indeed
the members Of his own family, believe,
however, that the condition of his health
Is such that he should not under any cir
cumstances assume the responsibility OF
managing another presidential campaign.
1t has been suggested that should Mr..
Hanna decide not 10 accept a reappoint-
ment as chairman that he be made a
member of the Executive Committee, hav-
ing personal charge Of the campaign hnan-
ces.
This would, It is pointed out, relieve Mr..
Hanna of the arduous duties devolving up
on him as chairman, and at the same time
give the national committee the benefit
OF his experience and marked success in
