May Change Hands-Arbuekles Not

NEW YORK, May sl.-Negotiations
are under way for the requirement and
control of the National, Mollenhauer
and Doescher sugar rehneries by a
new corporation, headed by the sugar
brokerage firm of B. II, Howell Sons &
Co. This statement is authorized by
James H. Post. member Of the firm Of
Howell Sons & Co.. who have been for
n long time the agents for the National
and Mollenhauer reAneries. 1t is be-
lIeyed that the requirement of these
properties by the new firm will do
much to end the sugar war. as Howell
Sons & Co. have been in harmony with
the American Sugar Refining Company
for long time.
Mr.. Post admits that Arbuckfe Bros.
are not included in the deal, but else
where in the trade 1t is believed that
they will be taken care OF In some way.
Henry o. Havemeyer, president OF the
trust said he had no statement TO make
concerning the latest reports. In sugar
circles generally 1t is believed that the
new corporation will be controlled by
the American Sugar Refining Company.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May a.-The

squadron commander, Admiral Kempff:

Secretary Navy, Washington.

Marines Have Gone Forward.
Although Admiral Kempfrs cable
gram is dated yesterday, the navy de-
partment officials are confident that the
American marines have gone forward
to Pckln, even though the Russian
forces may have been detained at Tien
Tsln by the technical objection Of the
chinese authorities. The very small
ness OF the force which the admiral is
sending at Minister conger's request,
would, It is felt. facilitate its admiss-
ion to the Chinese capitol, for 1t could
not be regarded by the Chinese govern
ment US a menace to Chinese integrity
The admirals dispatch indicates that
he has not been able to take the flag
ship Newark up the Pei-Ho river be-
yond herakn forts Just above the en-
trance. From Tien TsIn to PelSin by
rail is a distance Of seventy miles, n
,hree.hour tourney, according to Chi-
aese schedules. II obliged to make the
distance on foot, which has been done
before by them. the marines can cover
1t in about three days unless their
march ID, s,epposed.
Chiness Minister Calls on Hay.
The Chinese minister. Mr.. WI Ting
Fang, called at the state department at
an early hour to-day, to talk with Sec
retary Hay. He had no information
from his own government as to the
critical situation in China and was an
xfous for news Resident representa-
tIves of nearly all OF the other nations
Interested In the Chinese situation were
.amouE Secretary Hays callers to-day.
But. az In the case Of the Chinese MINI
lister, none of them had received any
Information from his own government
bearing upon the situation. Count Cas-
sInl, the Russian ambassador. who is
leaving the United States for a visit to
Europe and called to say goodbye to
Secretary Hay, is decidedly OF the opln-
ion that much unwaTanted anxiety
has been excited as to the actions OF
the boxers" He feels confident that
there is little danger to the life and
property Of foreigners In China TO be
expected from the present uprising.
Mr.. Nabeshlma, the charge of the
japanese legation who also was among
Secretary Hays callers. was likewise
disposed to minimize the dangers OF
the boxer" uprising.

WASHINGTON, May s1.-The house
to-day under special order adopted af-
ter an exceedingly hot debate in which
the leaders Of both sides charged each
other with playing to the political gal
leries, entered upon the consideration
Of the resolution reported from the judi
clary committee proposing n constitu-
tional amendment to lodge in Congress

prohibit or dissolve trusts. mOuopolies
or combinations" Under the terms Of
the order to-day with a night session
tonight was devoted to debate and to-
morrow at o'clock the vote Is to be
taken without opposition to amend.
Saturday is to be devoted to the bill to
amend the Sherman antitrust law.
Amendment Objectionable.
The Democrats charged that the pro-
posed constitutional amendment was
Objectionable in every way; that it was
q mere political pretext, that i: was un-
necessary and was proposed a: the end
of the session for election purposes in
the coming campaign. The Republicans
repudlated the charge of bad faith.
A constitutional amendment requires
two-thirds vote to adopt 1t, or 236 votes
with the present membership of the
house. The Republicans have only 1855
votes. hfty less than the requisite two
thirds There were only three speakers
at the day session-Alessrs. Ray, n. Y.)i
