SUGAR WAR ENDING.
Harmony Restored the Ar
buckles and the Trust.

Harmony Restored Between the Arr
buckles and the Trust.
New York, March 10-There is hard
~ any doubt In Wall street now that
the Arbuckles and the American Sugar
Refining company have come to an
understanding and that harmonious
relations will continue from now on,
though there is no talk of any consoli-
dalton. According to n of. the best
authorities, the latest development
and one that is a sure indication of a
better understanding among the re-
finers, Is the new method Of selling
sugars adopted by the Arbuckles.
When the warfare between the re-
finers was at it's height large numbers
of retailers were sold to direct. instead
of being compelled to buy from the
wholesalers. The Arbuckles are now
cutting off this trade and have done
so in New England, and it is expected
that other refiners will do likewise.
Under the new plan the purchaser
must wait the sixty days for the Is
per cent, while the trade discount will
be paid by the New England whole
sale grocers' association, instead of
being paid by the refiners.

Hon. David Meekison is we'll known,
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio, He
was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress
BY a very large majority, and is the
acknowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with its insidious ap-
proach and tenacious grasp. was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he
dictated the following letter to DR..
Hartman as the result:
Il have used several bottles Of Pc
ru-na and feel greatly benefited there
by from my catarrh of the head. | feel
encouraged to believe that If I use it
a short time longer l will be able to
fully eradicate the disease Of thirty
years standing. Yours truly,
David Meekison."
Many people can tolerate slight a
tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness,
q slight cough, a cold in the head, or a
trifiing arrangement of the digestive
organs, do not much disturb the aver
age person in his business. But this is
not true of the public speaker or stage
artist. His voice must always be clear,

London, March 10.-A crisis has ar
rived in far Eastern affairs which, in
the opinion of the British government,
is graver almost than the troubles
which originally turned the eyes of
the world toward the Orient. In this
crisis secret negotiations are going on
between the United States and Great
Britain with a view of thwarting what
both governments appear to consider
q determined attempt upon the part of
Russia to plant herself permanently in
one of the richest tracts of the Chi
nese empire.
The conference held "Wednesday be-
tween United States Ambassador
Choate and Lord Lansdowne had moth
Ing TO do with. the Nicaraguan canal
Gffair. To quote from a British official
he Nicaraguan controversy was a
minor matter compared with the pres
ent situation" What Mr.. Choate did
was to receive from Lord Lansdowne
q diplomatic message declaring that
Great Britain was not satisfied with
Russia's explanation as regards Man
churia delivered to Sir Charles Stuart
Scott, British ambassador at st. Pc
tersburg. by Count Lansdorff, and
asking if the United States was
Prepared to Take Steps
Of such a decisive nature that Russia
will have no alternative but to recede
from her position. Almost simultane-
ously, the Associated Press under
stands, the United States government
instructed various ambassadors to
take similar steps. The answer of
Secretary Hay has apparently not yet
been received in London, although the
fact that almost concurrent instruc-
ions were issued from Washington
are taken to be sufficient guarantee
that Russia's actions in Manchuria
will not be tolerated by the United
States. Japan, it is understood, is
ready to take sides with the United
States and Great Britain. Germany,
In spite of the Anglo-German agree
ment. is regarded as rather doubtful
owing to Emperor Williams friend
ship for the ear. France, of course,
will side with her ally. The signifi-
n of the present phase can only
be appreciated by those cognizant Of
the lethargic attitude of the British
government hitherto regarding
Russian Action i'm China.
Within the last few days all this has
changed. What a week or two ago
was pronounced only in line with
.Russia's useful policy is o termed
"a grave and serious state of affairs"
Lord L~ansdowne is using every effort
to bring the powers into line in order
to present to Russia such a menacing
front that without any ambiguity re-
garding temporary or other occupation
she may give up all designs upon
M~anchuria.. What prompts the Brit
ish foreign office to take such an
alarmist view Of circumstances usual
ly looked upon as fatalistic sequence is
the apprehension that Russia, having
held her own in spite of the protest of
the ministers of the powers. with the
Chinese government, and having put
herself on record in the reply to Sir
Charles Scott as determined at least
on a temporary occupation Of Man
churia, will refuse to back down. That
she shall do so Lord L~ansdowne con-
sflers vital for the future of China and
for the continued existence of the con-
cert of the powers.

Chicago, March 10. - Two hundred
soldiers of the Fifth infantry, sta
toned at Fort Sheridan, created a
~veritable panic In the little town of
Highwood. which adjoins Fort Sheri-

on leave, and after visiting the saloons
of Highwood many OF them became
drunk and fights among them were
numerous. Frank Hughey, a private OF
Company #, was terribly beaten and
is now said to be in a serious condi-
ton. Two saloons were wrecked and
the residents of the village were COM
PEELED to keep off the street. The

PRESS CLUB AFFAIRS
Important Business Before the
Monthly Meeting Held
in Davenport.
MONUMENT FOR THE ARSENAL
Appropriation to Be Asked of
Congress-.AnnuaI Enter
tainment, Etc.

The Tri-City Ps IS club held its
second monthly meeting of the season
at the K:mball house in Davenport
last evening. carrying out the usual
program of combined business and
pleasure. at the business session to
which the first part OF the evening
was devoted, several matters of i'm
portance were brought up aud given
q thorough discussion. Chief among
these was the project, the furtherance
of which was taken upon itself by the
club last winter, of creating a senti-
ment favoring the securing of q govern
ment appropriation for a monument
to the nations military achieve
ments of the nineteenth century
in peace and in war-to be erected
at the lower point of the island
of Rock leland. When the mat
ter was up before. it was decided
to lay it over till this fall. and it is
now the purpose of the club to push
the project to an issue.
The task of securing a suitable at
traction for the clubs ANIMAL enter
tainment was placed in the hands of
a special committee to report to the
main body. The purpose of the club
will be to secure the very best that is
going, and it is possible this annual
feature may be put on at the Illinois
theatre in this city if the build
ing is completed in time. Here
alter the general fund will be
drawn upon for the cost of the enter
tainment of the club at the monthly
meetings instead of placing the cost
upon the members of the cities in
which the meeting is held. The Sec
retary was instructed to ascertain the
cost of the group photograph OF the
mem bers of the club and TO start
subscription list for the same in order
to be assured that the undertaking
will pay out.

CONDUCTOR PUNCHES
TICKETS BY THOUSANDS.

Conductor Harry Lee. who is in
charge of the passenger train on the
Peoria road which leaves this city at
8 o'clock each morning and returns
late in the evening. is carrying big
calIoused spot on his right hand that
has been induced by constant friction
with the hand of the ticket pHnch
during the past three weeks. In that
time his trains have received almost
record patronage by passen-
gers to and from the state fair of
of three weeks ago and the Peoria
corn carnival during the past two
weeks. Conductor Lee has punched
from 400 to 700 tickets daily during
that time, making a grand aggregate
of about 10, 600.
This record is one of the best, if
not the best, ever made in a like
period on the road In addition to
the large large number of people han
died, there IS also source of some
satisfaction to the railroad officers
and particularly to Conductor Lee.
in that during the three weeks there
was not the slightest accident on the
train, nor was there the least trouble
among the passengers. although many
of them came home from seeing the
sights in the big towns in anything
but pleasant moods.
