GERMANY FIXES SUGAR PRICE.

So Says Cuban Sugar BrOIxer-Reduc-
ton in Tarin Would Not Help the
Poems.
Washington, May MANUEL Rionda,
a sugar broker, testified before the
Senate Committee on Relations with
Cuba to-day. He said he bought more
sugar for independent refiners than
for the trust. He said Germany fixed
the price of sugar. In February and
March there was a reduction on Gu
ban sugars below the Hamburg price
because the supply is greater than the
demand. The Cuban seller would re-
ceive all the benefit of a reduction of
duty bv the United States. If no re-
duCtion was made there might De a
panic in Cuba, as those who have
r66e advances on sugar would Gail
in their loans.
George e. Bryson, commissioner Of
deeds of Havana, testified that many
large and small plantations in Cuta
are owned by Americans. AS a rule
the .Spaniards control the sugar pro-
duction by holding mortgages on pan
tations. Mr.. Bryson also said that the
poems who grow the sugar on the
Plantations would not derive any ben

American Interests Are Large.
Mr.. Bryson said that more than one
half. of the sugar of the island is pro-
duced by American citizens and Ameri-
can corporations.
Oscar w. Bonner, advertising agent
for the American Coffee Company, was
questioned concerning a pamphlet en-
titled Facts About Cuba which the
witness said he had complied The
reading matter was composed of ex-
tracts from a number of newspapers
advocating a reduction of the duty on
sugar There had. he said, been about
1000 of these pamphlets printed at
a cost of SLIGO. He had consulted with
Mr.. Havemeyer about getting it up,
the object being to counterfeit the eff
fects of charges against the sugar
trust. He said that he had had many

Knoxville, Tenn. May THE fight
in the Jellico- coal district between the
Louisville and Nashville and Southern
Railroads in their efforts to gain a po-
sition of advantage along Clear Fork
branch of the Cumberland, reached a
more interesting stage to-day. The
mountains north of the main range of
the Cumberland, at the foot of which
the town of Lafollette is situated, is
the best undeveloped coal section in
East Tennessee and Southern Ken
lucky and the present contest between
the roads is to reach this field by the
most available route The Louisville
and Nashville will build up Clear Fork,
then up Hickory creek, reaching Knox
vile by way of Lafollette. The Louis
vile and Nashville is also building a
connection to it's line which runs out
of Pineville, KY. to Chenoa, a distance
of thirteen miles. This will put the
road in complete touch with his rich
coal land.
The Southern has commenced con-
structing a line from Jellico up Cleark
Fork and on to Mddlesboro, which
will run continuously through the coal
field
For nine miles out of Jellico the
two railroads PARALLEL each other and
along this distance is the light fer
location.
Chief Special Agent j. B. Harlan Of
Louisville arrived to-day with over 400
men, dispatchers, road masters, con-
structors, overseers and workmen. The
force was at work at noon constructing
a roadbed from the Louisville and
Nashville main line, one mile north of
Jellico, toward THE narrows," a point

pie, members of a Sunday-school class
of the First Baptist Church, were
drowned in the Maumee river, just be-
low the city tonight at 10 o'clock as
the result of the naphtha launch
Frolic, on which they were taking
pleasure ride. being run down by the
tug Arthur Woods of the Great Lakes
Towing Company's fleet
The launch is owned by Joseph w.
Hepburn of this city. who invited
eleven young people to take an even
ing ride with him. They started out
on trip to Lake Erie early in the
evening and were returning when the
accident happened.
Mr.. Hepburn states that he saw the
lights of the approaching tug and,
thinking it was bound straight down
the river, turned to the east. When
nearly abreast of the launch the tug
suddenly turned to the east in order
to make the dock at Ironville, and be-
fore the launch could get out of the
way, it was struck by the tug and
turned over and sank about 100 feet
from the dock. Mr.. Hepburn caught
hold of the side of the tug and Grace
Lowe grasped his leg and both
were pulled on the tug. Clara
Marks was picked up from a
cushion on which she foated. Arthur
Marks was also fortunate enough to
grab a piece of wreckage and was pick
ed up by those on the tug. The other
seven members of the party were
drowned.
The tug brought the rescued to this
city. Capt. AL Fits was in charge of
the tug and says that the launch
showed no lights, and that he was not
aware of its presence until the tug

Friends of Territories Urge Their
Claim.
Washington, May THE House to-
day entered upon the consideration of
the bill to enable the people of Okla
homa, Arizona and New Mexico to
form constitutions and state govern
ments and be admitted into the Union
on an equal footing with the original
states. Representative Knox of
Massachusetts,, chairman of the Com
mittee on Territories, and Mr.. Rodey
the delegate from New Mexico, made
extended speeches in support of the
bill, and Mr.. ,McRae of Arkansas,
while favoring the admission of the
three territories. gave notice of an
amendment he would offer to CONSOLE
date Oklahoma and Indian Territory
and admit them as a single state.
Before the statehood bill was taken
up the House adopted the conference
report upon the Indian appropriation
bill. A vigorous but unsuccessful
fight was made upon the Senate
amendment to open up the Utah In
dian reservation in Utah. Mr.. Little
of Arkansas declared the proposition
was venal one. The amendment
confirms existing leases, many of the
most profitable of which had been con-
solidated, he said, into the Florence
Mining Company, which contained in
it's original directory Henry c. Payne,
now Postmaster General, and Benja-
min B. Odell, now Governor of New
York. They had, he said, since re-
signed.
Mr.. McRae attacked the amendment
on similar grounds

Firms viii BE Able to Resume.
New York, May There were no
developments to-day respecting the
three Stock Exchange firms which sus-
pended on Monday after a severe break
in the securities of the so-called Webb
Meyer syndicate. Assignees contin-
ued their examination of the books Of
Lockwood, Hurd & Co. and Henry Bros.
& Co. SCHEDULES of liabilities and as
sets may be filed before the end of the
week, but probably not until next week
1t was again said to-day that the
resumption of business by these firms
is contingent almost entirely upon he
attitude of DR.. Seward Webb. DR.
Webb was reported to have had an
other protracted conference with Ar
thur Meyer to-day. the result of which
if any, could not be learned.
Offenbach & Moore, who were the
Stock Exchange representatives of Mr.
Meyer up to the time of their sus-
pension, made no statement other than
that they had not assigned.

Scranton, Pa, May THE executive
boards of the United Mine Workers Of
America for the three districts COM
prising the anthracite coal region met
here to-day to consider the report of
the special committee which had been
in conference with the presidents of
the coal carrying railroads and to 'le-

at work or go on strike for increased
pay, a shorter days work and an in
sistarce that the coal shall be weighed

tives were in session all of to-day. hut
nothing was done of which any definite
knowledge would be given the public.
The meeting, as far as the outside
world knows, made absolutely nc
change in the situation. When the
meeting adjourned President Mitchell
gave out the following n1eager and IN
definite response to request for an ac-
count of what had been done:
THE committee is canvassing the sit
uation very carefully. No decision has
as yet heen reached. The committee
will meet again tomorrow at a. M
When asked if anything had been
heard from the operators Mr.. Mitchell
said:
IT have heard nothing from the oper-
ators. No concessions have been
granted and / know nothing of any
movement to secure concessions"
The comparatively early adjourn
ment of to-day's meeting has led to a
general belief here that the miners are
waiting for something to turn up.

istence in St Louis of uniform and
fixed meat prices and the secret re-
bate in addition to the C. o. D. list was
shown by testimony taken at to-day's
session of the beef trust inquiry.
Maurice Prendiville, a st. Louis meat
dealer. testified that Armour, Swift,
Nelson Morris and Cudahy had a fixed
agreement regarding prices.
The packers buy cattle on success
sive days" said he, 80 that each can
buy at his own price. There is very
little independent buying in the East
st. Louis Stock Yards. The big pack
ers keep others out by telling the cat
tlemen that If they sell any cattle to
the independent buyers they must sell
all to them.
"A better grade of cattle is sent east
than that sold in st. Louis. The or
binary retail butchers cannot get high
class beef. The best beef is sold TO
butchers at IL cents on the carcass"
did you ever get a rebate?" was
asked of Frendiville.
-Four or five months ago I got re-
bates on pork from Nelson Morris. At
one time the cooler managers told me
that they had an agreement not to sell
at less than Sc per hundred. They
would evade the agreement by selling
some cents lower"
Is there an arbitrator in st. LOUISE"
asked Attorney General Grow.
The cooler managers meet every
Wednesday afternoon and form a c. o.
d. list and on Saturday they hold an
other meeting. l do not know who
fixes prices for them, but they are fix
ed the last of each week for the week
following.

tie in East St. Louis" continued the
witness. land ships them elsewhere.
the packers send dispatch ahead of
him, instructing the buyers to offer
only so much. Meat this year is much
inferior to that sold last year. The
number of cattle sold and killed in
East st. Louis this season has been
unusually large. Most of the meat has
been placed in storage"
Other witnesses gave similar testi-
mony.
