C0FFEE.SUGAR WAR OVER.
Havemeyers and Arbuckles Have Decide,
to Quit Fighting,

Havemeyers and A%rbuckles Have Decided
to Quit Fighting.
Chicago, Jan. 5.-The Tribune prints
the following story this morning:
Private advices have reached Chi
cago that the war between the great
sugar and coffee trusts-a battle which
has been stubbornly fought for more
than three years between Henry o.
Havemeyer on the one side and John
Arbuckle on the other, and which has
cost these trade rivals approximately
$25, 600, 900, Is to be brought to a close.
Negotiations have been closed in New
York and Chicago whereby the Ar
buckles will nominally give up sugar
refining and become dictators in the
coffee trade. Henry o. Havemeyer and
the sugar trust will practically give up
their coffee roasting plants, with which
an effort was made to crush out John
Arbuckle, and handle only sugar.
Each, however, will continue In the
business Of his rival In a small way,
compared to their holdings Of the last
three years. To this end the big coffee
roasting establishment of w. e. Nc
Laughlin & Co, Of this city, the one i'm
portant Independent house In the coffee
world, is to pass into the control of the
Arbuckles through the hands Of the
Havemeyers. Plans for this transfer
have been most secretly carried on,
but those on the inside declare hat
the negotiations were fully completed
last Monday morning. The money for
the purchase is now in Chicago banks
and the transfer papers have been
drafted.
The Arbuckles are also to get the
Woolson Spice company, with It's mills
at Toledo. This company has been the
coffee branch of the American Sugar
Refining company. In exchange the
Arbuckle brothers sugar refinery passes
TO the Havemeyers. The National Sugar
Refining company is held to be now
practically controlled by the American
Sugar Refining company, and therefore
with the acquisition Of the ArbuckIe
plant the trust will have stamped out
all competitors.

The Soothsayers.

Persian Tales in the Century Maya
zine: Once upon a time a king in his
sleep dreamed that all of his teeth fell
out before him, n by one.
He summoned a s~oothsayer, and
asked him to interpret the dream.
h s~oothsayer said: 20 king, the
meaning Of thy dream is thai thy fam
lily and relatives shall die In thy pres
ence, one by one, till all are gone"
The king was very angry at that, and
sent the soothsayer at once to prison.
Then he sent for another s~oothsayer,
and again asked for an Interpretation
of the dream.
The soothsayer made answer: 20
king, the Interpretation of thy dream Is
that thy family and relatives shall die,
n by one, and thou myself shalt out
live them ALL"
With this answer the king showed
approval, and commanded that a pres
ent be given to the interpreter, and
that he should be sen home with
honor.

MEASURE CLASS LEGISLATION

Washington, Jan. 5.-The senate
committee on agriculture has resumed
ITS hearing on the oleomargarine bill.
Hon. w. M. Springer. representing the
National Live Stock association, was
he first person to be heard. He spoke
In opposition to the bill. He said the
association which he appeared for rep
resented a combined capital of $780,
DOC. COO. He read a memorial from the
association in opposition to the oleo-
margarine bill as an effort to build up
one Interest at the expense Of another.
he quoted figures to show that where
as the mich COWS of the country were
valued at $514, 600. 900, other cattle foot
up an aggregate of S6S9, 900, 900 in value.
He said the opinion Of stock raisers
was unanimous that the passage of the
pending bill would mean the destruc-
ton of the ol~eomargarine industry
and he argued there vas little effort
on the part of the promoters of the bill
to conceal this purpose.
Two gentlemen present, named re-
s~pectively Adams and Knight, inter-
rupted Judge Springer while he was
quoting from reports to the
entirely misrepresented by those
reports. knight said a letter
had been printed in the Congressional
Record which the house reported to
have been written by him which was
an absolute falsehood.
Springer was also interrupted by
Governor Hoard of Wisconsin, who re-
iterated his charge OF attempted brib-
cry Of merchants by the oleomargarine
manufacturers.
Continuing, Springer charged the
friends of the bill with interfering in
politics n he quoted a letter from
Secretary knight of the National
Dairy union, with headquarters at
Chicago, directed to a constituent of
Congressman Wadsworth, saying his
reelection, unless by a greatly re-
duced majority, would be a triumph
of the stock yards and oleomargarine
frauds"
Knight, who was present, said wads-
worth's majority had been reduced
1000.
