WAR IS AGAIN ON.
Arbuckles and the Sugar Trust Lock Horns
Once More

Arbuclties and the Sugar Trust Lock Horns
Once More.
New York.-There Is some indica-
tion that the conflict in coffee is merely
the initial one of the series. The
Sugar Trust people claim to be ex.
pecting further declines in raw coffee,
in which case package coffee will be
promptly received.
At the Office of the Arbuckles it was
stated that the reduction in sugar had
been made upon it's own basis, and
was not connected with the decline in
coffee.
"rhe reason why we made cut Of
Is points, said representative of the
firm, "is because others have been
cutting secretly 10 points, especially
in the west, and we decided to go
them 8 better-openly, as we always
do our business. This does not look
like harmony. There is no harmony.
At $3.50, the gross price for granula-
ted, there is no profit in refining, but
loss. II we could get raw at Csc,
the present price, then there would
be a profit. But the sugar we are now
working Of cost us 4 5-Sc."

HsTALIATOnS MEASURES.

Relative to Consulate.
Washington. i he Turkish author
ities having refused to grant an ex-
qnateur to DIR. Thomas II. Norton to
act as United States consul at Har-
poot, the indications point to some
retaliatery measures on the part OF
our government in the near future.
The Turkish contention now is that
they permitted United States consul
late to be established at Ezeroum un-
der an implied understanding that the
United States would abandon its
claim to consulate at Harpoot.
That there was some such shadow of
foundation for this understanding is
admitted, but it is still the purpose of
the United States to establish this
consulate aud the British government
has since been permitted to locate a
consul at Harpoot and, under the fa-
vored nation clause of our troaty with
Turkey. the United States govern
ment claims the same commercial
privileges as Great Britain.

Washington. The secretary of state
has addressed an identical note to the
powers interested in the Chinese situa-
tion and stating out tersely and afresh
the objects of the United Sta tes gov
ernment as to China, pointing out how
such objects as are common to the
powers can be best secured. The note
marks the initiation Of fresh negotia-
tions on our part on the arrangement
of new basis to tide over the impos-
sible situation created at the last
meeting of the ministers in Peking.
Some responses already are at hand
and it is stated that generally our ad-
vice have been well received and the
state department expresses satisfaction
with the progress 80 far achieved.
1t Is believed that the note is an ap-
peal from the extreme course suggest
ed by some of the powers as to the
treatment of China, especially In the
matter of punishment and indempities
to which the ministers at Pekipg seem
inclined. The intent is to put the ne
gotiations on more rational and
businesslike basis.
London.-A dispatch to the Reuter-
telegram agency from Peking, dated
November 22nd, says:
Competent indepenent judges of the
present critical stage Of the negotia-
tions are of the opinion that the con-
sideration Of all the peace preliminary
should be transferred to Washington
or to q European capital and be
placed in the hands of plenipoten-
tiaries possessed OF full powers to ar
range the terms to be impoped on Chi
ma. Once the terms are agreed on, they
should be presented as demand not
requiring negotiations with the Chi
nese commissioners. 1t is felt that
the present discussions OF the minis
tiers, who do not possess the power to
decide on the multiplicity Of PROPOSE
tions without reference to their gov
ernments. are bound to interminably
drao out the preliminaries and result
in long delay, causing the greatest un-
easiness In the foreign communities
who anticipate vastly increased diff
