GEN. M'ALPIN SULKS.
New York Republican Not to Vote
For President Mckinley.

New York, July 11.-F'ormer Adjutant
General e a. McAlpin, N. G.. N. Y, is
not going to vote the Republican ma
tional ticket. Since General McAlpin
is treasurer of the Republican state
committed Senator Platt viii have to
look for another man to carry the cam
paign bag.
Oddly enough, General McAIpin does
not see it that way. He has been telling
his friends all around that he was
against the Republican national ticket,
but that he remains a good state Re
publican organization man. Friends
quote him as saying:
Il have nothing personal against
President Mckinley. I am not going to
vote for Bryan. If Odell is nominated
for governor I will take off my coat
any man the organization norninates
for governor There is no reason, there
fore why I should be read out OF the
party or turned out of the treasurer
ship. / never asked for that appoint-
ment, anyway"
General AIcA1pin refused yesterday to
make any statement for publication as
to his reasons for refusing to support
the Republican national administration.
tobacco was framed the way the to-
bacco trusts lobbyists wanted it. The
house ways and means committee had
promised a conference of independent
tobacco manufacturers that it would
adopt the schedule they had prepared.
General McAlpin is an independent
tobacco manufacturer. After this ac-
ton by congress he denounced 1t as
breach Of faith, and was inclined, for
q time to hold Senator PIatt himself
responsible for the throw down" as
he called il.

Needles. Cal, July 11.-Since the clos
ing of the term of school last week at
Fort Mojave there has been much trouble
between the Indians and the superintend-
ent, Major J. J. McKoin. 1t seems that

Major McKoin insists that they shall re-
main at work the school farm Re
Gently the Indian boys ran away from
the fort and Superintendent McKoin with
his deputies has been trying to capture

dians and terribly beaten. Four Indians
have been arrested and placed in jail and

DOsCHER RETIREs.
Sugar Trust Interests Are Not Likely
to be Disturbed.

New York, July 1.-THE Tribune says
Wall street is interested in a report that
Claus Doscher has Withdrawn from the
National Sugar Refining company. of
New Jersey. of which he has been a direc-
tor and a large stoclxholder, and has re-
tired permanently from the sugar busi-
ness. The report iS&accepted true, al
though Mr.. Doschsk could not be found
when an effort was sde to secure con-
rectors was quoted, @hoWever, as declar-
ing that Mr.. DoscheEss retirement was not
the result of any disagreement in the
board.
The National Sugar Refining company.
of New Jersey, was Incorporated on June
2 at Trenton, with $40, O0,000 capital, one
half being preferred stock and one-half
so-called independent" comprehensive
National Sugar Refining company cap
italized at 81, 100000 in stock, the Mollen-
auer Sugar Refining company, capitalized
at 81 900 co., and the New York Sugar Re
fining company, with a capitalization of
$500, 900 stock and 81 400, 600 bonds. The
National and the Mollenhauer had all
along been on friendly terms with the
American Sugar Refining company, while
the New York, controlled by Mr.. Doscher,
has been strenuous competitor of the
trust. 1t was, therefore, taken by the
Street as an indication that the sugar war
was over when the Doscher refinery was
consolidated with the National and Mol
lenhauer; and in fact the raising of the
price of refined sugar, which has been go
ing on so rapidly during the last few
new companys organization. the trust
announcing each advance and the Ar
buckles and the new National company
promptly making the new rate.

Something is wrong with Topeka's
census. Sam Radges, who knows more
about the population Of Topeka than
any one else, says the figures are in

Christians met in secret; they had
