..S0UTHERN..END

OF the State In Good Condition-Gov-
ernor Atkinson Returns From q
Successful Tour of Speaking In
Mercer, Mingo and Mcdowell.
Special Dispatch to tho Inteillgencer.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Oct. 1l.-
Governor Atkinson returned to-day
from a weeks trip Into the counties OF
MIngo, Mercer and Mcdowell. where
he has made q large number OF speeches
during the week, speaking twice day
and riding over q large scope Of coun-l
try. All the meetings held by Governor,
Atkinson were outdoor assemblies for
the reason that the school houses and
halls used for public gatherings were
too small to hold the vast crowd that
focked to hear the eloquent governor,
In his exposition OF the doctrines OF
Republlcanism.
In conversation with the represen-
tative Of the 1ntelligencer tonight.
Governor. Atkinson said: "In all my;
experience In, the politics Of the state.
which has covered a period OF good
number of years. I have never seen
such enthusiasm and interest shown,
and I have never witnessed such har-.
mony as is manifested in this group Of
counties In the southern section Of the:
state. In only one instance is there
any dissatisfaction, and that is in Mer-
Ger, where q number are obiecting tn
the candidacy Of Hon. James Hearn,
for house Of delegates. How;
ever. 1t is my opinion that this
disatfection will amount to practically
nothing, and that on election day the
Republicans OF Mercer will march up
and put in straight ticket. II
There is not the slightest doubt of
the election Of Joseph H. GalIps for.
Congress and you can thus place me on
record II you so desire. He will sweep
the district by q larger majority thar
the one secured by Johnston when he
beat Edwards In 1898. Z
"As to Kanawha county, feel equal
ly as confident. although our majority
viii not be SO large as in former years.""
Governor Atkinson has done some
hard and effective work this year, and
his voice shows the effect Of the OUT
door meetings he has held. However,
his general healthis good. and he will
be found In the harness until the end OF
the campaign.

WORK OF THE GLUCOSE TRUST.
Other manufacturers of Syrups Forced
to Close Down.

CHICAGO, June 2.-The Tribune says:
Seventeen Chicago syrup manufacturing
concerns and scores of syrup makers in
other cities, representing hundreds of thou
sands of dollars of invested capital have
seen their business almost destroyed as
the result of a war of determination started
against them two months ago by the Glu-
cose Sugar Company, known otherwise
the glucose trust.
Within the last sixty days. SO the syrup
manufacturers say, the glucose trust has
gone into syrup making, and has put up the
price of raw products and reduced the
price of syrups to its customers to such
degree that the other syrup makers are
unable to do a satisfactory business. At
fairs of the syrup makers have reached
such a crisis that a meeting Of the prn-
cipal manufacturers of the United States,
who are organized into the National Syrup
Company. has been called in Chicago early
in July to devise some method of fighting
the trust and resuming satisfactory busi
ness. In the meantime twelve out Of the
seventeen Chicago syrup factories practi-
cally have closed their doors. and the re-
malnder have given up syrup making and
gone into other lines of business.

MIR. MERRY's MAIL STOLEN.
Incident May Cause Trouble for Costa

incident May Cause trouble Tor Costa
Ricnn Government.
CHICAGO, June "A special to the Tri-
bune from New Orleans, La, says:
Startling news comes from Costa Rica.
The correspondent of New Orleans paper,
writing from Port Limon, under date of
May %, sends news which may result in
an international episode. On the night of
May "a the post Office box of United States
Minister Merry IN the post office at San
Jose was broken open and the letters
therein stolen.
The theft caused a sensation. Minister
Merry discovered that there were several
important letters in the box. one in partic-
ular, being from Consul Davidson at Ma
nagua, Nicaragua The fact that this let
ter was among those stolen may furnish a
clue to the thieves Ever since the settle
ment of the trouble between Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, in which the United States
officiated as mediator, there has, it is safd
been considerable feeling against this coun-
try because of alleged favoritism shown to
Nicaragua. 1t is thought that the rifiing
agents of the party who disbelieve in the
sincerity of this country, and who stole
the letter from Managua to get proof of
their suspicious.
Minister Merry has complained to the
Costa Rican government. The authorities
of that country disavow all responsibility
for the crime and have started an investi-
cation to discover the thieves.
The United States representative at Grey
town is now on his way to this country
and will probably bring the official report
Of the affair.
