lated. On Tuesday the net quotation was
sos cents net. In other worts. Mr.. Have
meyer has authorized cut slightly IN ex-
cess OF 1-2 cents per pound.
To understand the importance OF this
cut to beet sugar manufacturers Il should
be mentioned that the practice of the beet

tire production at prices based on the SELL
ing price OF the sugar combine on the
date of delivery. The beet people have

PERIL OF MISS STONE.

CoNsTANTINoPLE,O Oct. S.--American
representatives have secured evidence
proving the completely of members of the
Macedonian committee at Sofia in the
kidnapping of the American missionary,
Miss Helen II. Stone, and her companion,
Madame Tsillxa, and the assurances given
by the Bulgarian government relative to
the measures taken against the abductors
show that the gravity of the affair is ap-
preciated at Sofia.
The departure of the United States con-
sui at Constantinople, Mr.. Dickinson, for
the Bulgarian capital is expected to re-
suit in increased activity.
Wen informed people in Constantfnople
doubt that the release of Miss Stone and
her companion will be effected by the
payment of a ransom. The Ottoman gov
eminent would have difficulty in finding
the amount demanded. while the mission
aries point out that the American board
of foreign missions has made practice of
refusing to pay ransoms on the ground
that 1t would create a precedent.

RUMoR SAYS KING HAS CANCER

LONDON. Oct. 4-The coincidence Of
the announcement Of King Edwards in
disposition with the publication Of revived
rumors regarding cancer in the newspa-
pers OF Copenhagen, from which city his
majesty has just returned, and where Sc
crets Of the British court are more likely
TO leak out than elsewhere, Is causing
some connection here, and the fact that
the customary court circular does not APP
pear IN this mornings papers adds to the
uneasy feeling, which is not allayed by
the explanation OF the kings indisposition
given by Sir Francis Baking, his majes-
ty's physician. Sir Francis Is in no way a
specialist. and Is paying merely a social
visit at Balmoral.
A story is in circulation among the
clubs. purporting TO come from a titled
member OF the late Queen Victoria's
household, giving color to the cancer
story and saying that court circles are
discussing the possibility OF no formation
taking place next year. ,.t
II IS impossible, however, TO obtain
tangible corroborative evidence of this re-
port.

Of the wife Of any other person then liv-
ing.
This is a sweeping law not recognising
even inhdelity as a cause for divorce ana
not permitting Episcopal clergymen 20
solemnize the marriage OF an innocent
party in a divorce.
The action taken by the ''rigorists," as
those taking this extreme stand are call
ed. is based on the ground that the church
Is called upon TO register its protest
against the laxity on the subject OF d.
vorce. that prevails in the United states.
As stated by one OF the signers OF the
report There seems no way in which the
church can avoid completely In divorces
OF the most scandalous character except
IN so far as II may refuse to assume
any color OF responsibility for any divorce
by forbidding the clergy to solemnize the
marriage OF divorced persons IN any case
whatever"
one Of the dilemmas in which the
church legislators md themselves, say
the rigorists. IS that they must put the
ban on al divorces, innocent and guilty,
without distinction as there is no judi
elal system, civil or ecclesiastical, that
viii enable Os 20 discover the innocent
party IN divorce sases"
Therefore, they argue they must forbid
the clergy 10 solemnize the marriage OF
any divorced person.
This extreme Stand is q departure hOlh
the precedent established By the church
IN .is0s. when a resolution was adopted
authorizing the solemnization OF the mar
riage OF an innocent party to divorce
when the cause was infidelity. The oppo-
nents OF the radical idea assert that their
position is based on the words Of Christ
as given In Matthew XIX. They oppose
the rigorists in the further grounds that
such refusal 10 solemnize the marriage
would put a stigma on marriages which
are honorable and lawful; that II would
ALLEVIATE church members who have been
taught 20 believe that innocent parties
In divorce are entitled to. remarry; that
It will weaken the influence Of the church
with the American people who may con-
clude that the church is welded to me-
diaeval ideas and attempting to be
stricter than the head Of the church him
self and the legislation may be in effect
a reputation OF the teachings OF the
Master.

TIGER LILIES.

I like not lady slippers.
Nor yet the sweet pea blossoms,
Nor vet the faky roses.
Red, or white as snow;
I like the chaliced lilies
The heavy Eastern lilies,
The gorgeous tiger lilies,
That in our gardens grow.
For they are tall and slender;
Their mouths are dashed with carmine
And when the wind sweeps by them,
on their emerald stalks
They bend so proud and graceful
They are Circassian women,
The favorites Of the sultan,
Adown our garden walks!
And when the rain IS falling
] sit beside the window 81
And watch them glow and glsten,
How they burn and glowl
o for the burning lilies,
The tender Eastern lilies,
The gorgeous tiger lilies,
That in our garden grow!

DID STRIKERS FIRE TOWN?
Fire in Cigar Factory In Tampa De-
stroys $4,000 Worth Property.

SuOyS ptOOgOVO WOENH TiSPCthys
TAMPA, Fla, oct. Am incendiary fire
destroyed $4,000 worth of property last
night in West Tampa.
Fire was started in cigar factory of
O'Halloran & Co., and spread rapidly to
other buildings.
West Tampa has no fire department
and firemen from Tampa did not go until
the fire threatened to sweep through to
this city.
The general belief is that the fire was
the result of bitter feeling which has
been engendered here for some time over
the labor situation, the blow being
struck in West Tampa first because there
was no protection against fire.
O'Halloran & Co, carried insurance on
the factory and stock amounting to $4,000
Every precaution is being taken here to
guard against the blow being struck in
Tampa.
Excitement runs high today on account
of this fire as well as raids being made on
Resistencia strikers. A squad of police
men arrested more than a hundred Of
them who were holding open air meetings
this morning. AS they marched to police
station, in charge of policemen, intense
excitement existed. Police court is in all
day session trying these people as vag-
rants and sentencing them TO work on
streets If they will not enter cigar fac
tories. Several who were arrested yes
terday attempted to leave for Key West
last night and were arrested on eve of de-
parture and placed in Jail.
Situation grows more critical here every
hour.

Columbia Wins thursdays Race.

from the Shamrock II today after follow

than two-thirds of the. course.
The finish was pyrotechnical. the eyes
OF thousands being trained upon the con-
testing racers.
The wind was stiff today. at times being
above the twenty-five mile-per-hour en-
ergy. The course was triangular, ten
miles to leg.
The Shamrock got away first by few
seconds and maintained the lead until af-
the second mark had been turned, when

HAY MAY SOON RESIGN.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. - Secretary
Cages interview indicating the probabili-
ty of Secretary Hays retirement from the
state department and the appointment of
Elihu Root, secretary of war, to the va
cancy, is in line with the prevalent opin-
ion in Washington.
Secretary Hay is not expected to retire
Immediately but 1t is thought it will not
be long deferred. Whether Mr.. Root
would accept the secretaryship of state
will depend upon his physical condition.
Should he be promoted the president
would have one of the. most important
portfolios in his cabinet to fill. 1t is be-
lieved that the appointment would prob
ably go to Ohio, If a suitable man were
available because with Secretary Hay out
o. the cabinet Ohio would be unrepresent-
ed in the administration. With the pres
ident and secretary of state from New
York it would be most improbable that
another New Yorker would be placed in
e cabinet.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4. $40 p. m.-The

The cup defender Columbia defeated
Shamrock III. today in a race full Of sem
sational excitement and interest.
Although the Shamrock crossed the line
first at the finish, the Columbia won on
time limit.
The boats came across the line as one,
the time being so close that IL was i'm
possible almost to ascertain which one
was IN the lead when the tape was passed.
The Shamrock overlook the Columbia
soon after the lead. and by fortunate
wind kept the lead until near the finish,
when the Columbia began creeping up on

Mr.. Kruger exhibits intense irritation and

ton would long since have been much
