LAMB AND MUTTON NAY BE SCARCE THIS YEAR.
DROUTH AND GR4SSH0PPERS ARE DAMAGE on
THE SOUTHWEST

The report from Santa Fee printed in The
Tribune yesterday, that sheep are dying in all
parts Of New Mexico from the effects of drouth
may be somewhat exaggerated-as earliest re-
ports of disastrous conditions frequently are
but is doubtless based upon a really threatening
state Of affairs. This is the Landing season on
the ranges. or the lambs are still young and
the mothers need an abundant supply of succu-
lent feed in order, not alone sustain life them
selves. but also TO afford milk for their young
If. as the dispatch says. the ranges are prac-
tically dried up on account of the drouth," few
lambs viii be saved
The latest number Of The American Sheep
Breeder" which reached The Tribune office only
yesterday, says in its Range Letter:
The outlook for the spring and summer mar
hets Is good, and the only cloud on the horizon
is a threatened scarcity Of grass The dry
weather that has continued all winter in many
sections Of the West promises serious conse-
quences before the summer is over, unless PrOvi-
dence relents and sends plenty of spring and
summer rains.
Evidently the abundant rains have not yet
come 10 all parts Of the sheep country. The
Weather Bureaus weekly summary Of crop con-
ditons, issued on Tuesday says:
Drouth conditions have continued in the upper
Ohio Valley Middle Atlantic States and over
the Southeastern Rocky Mountain slope. Rain

In the eastern and western districts.
The Southwestern stockman," published at
Phoenix. Ariz.. says under date of April %:
A great winter dryness still prevails through
out the central portion of New-Mexico, and
sheep are dying by the thousands. The Landing
season is on, and this condition means much
further loss among ewes and lambs"

BILL MAY BE FILED TODAY.
CHARGES OF CONSPIRACY BY PACKERS
BACKED BY DOCUMENTARY PROOF
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BrxE.I


Chicago, May 1.-The bill for an injunction
against the Chicago packers was not filed to-
day. Whether the suit which has caused such
a stir among members of the so-called Beef
Trust" viii be filed tomorrow depends on
whether Attorney General Knox has given or
ders to have the papers sent to him for ap-
prevail or not. The admission is practically
made that the necessary documents have all
been drawn. In case they have TO be sent TO
Washington, it is reasona bly, certain they will
not be trusted to the mails. but taken person
ally by Judge Day. who represents the Attorney
General The judge declined to say when he
would return East He admitted that he had
other business in Chicago that would keep him
here.
District Attorney Bethea maintains his 81
lence to the mode of procedure. He refuses
TO say that the bill VIII not be filed to-
morrow, that the storm may break over
the packers heads before the end of the week
II is understood that the charges OF con-
spiracy to control the provision market are
voluminOus The questions OF the illegal agree
rnent said to exist among the Big Six" are
fully set out; also the Illegal arrangement with
railways for rebates charges Of blacklisting
dealers and nearly every point with which the
public have become familiar in the last fort
night, IS covered. Strong offidaVits have also
been received from ex-empoyes and men who
say they have been ruined by the cOmbina-
tion.
Attorneys for the packers admit that it will
require considerable time to prepare the de-
fence. Under the circumstances they believe
that the court viii grant the preliminary injunc-
fion asked. If this be granted IL will place the
possibility Of arrest before the railway mag
mates the heads of the great meat concerns and
all employees for any violation Of the order
This order is usually presented when the bill
IS brought to the attention Of the court 1t is
thought to be already drawn, and to be drastic
in its prohibitions
II the bin reaches the Attorney General on
Saturday he may telegraph what suggestions
he wishes TO make, and the case will then be
presented on Monday, as the government is
determined TO press the matter vigorously Doc
unentary proof is said 10 be in the govern
nent's possession that three agreements con-
troll the situation. These known as the
railroad" the credit" and the carriage pact
They provide for rebates, a blacklist against
retailers and the withdrawal of deliveries from
recaleitrant butchers 1t is said that complete
copies of each have been obtained

framed 10 favor the cattlemen who had posses
sion OF the unlawfully fenced ranges last year
miles in length. and would give the cattlemen,
under the proposed bill the right TO lease ten
acres for each one in their possession a year
ago This, he argues, would result in the COM
plete monopoly Of the public lands by the cattle
barons.
Then there is another provision. which the
Secretary declares is nothing less than favorit-
ism tor cattle barons. This is that leasehOlders
shall be considered as freeholders where cattle
men have leased State lands. In that case they
are entitled TO lease ten acres of public land
for each acre Of State lands held by them under
lease, not exceeding $40 acres of State land.
This would give the holder of a lease on a sec
ton OF State land the right To lease 6,40D acres
OF public lands for ten years. with the privi
lege of renewal for another ten. The home
steader, according TO the Secretary. gets the
worst of il in another way under a provision
OF the bill which makes the owner of cattle

TRUST AND CUBAN SUGAR
II. 0. IA VEluEYER DISPROVES
Mr.. TELLER'S CHARGE.
THIS YEARS CROP ON THE ISLAND NOT
CONTROLLED BY THE AMERICAN
SUGAR REFINING COMPANY.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUNE.l

Washington. May Henry o. Havemeyer
president of the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, popularity known as the Sugar Trust. gave
testimony for two hours to-day before the sub
committee of the Senate Committee on Rela-
tons with Cuba appointed to investigate the
charge of Senator Teller that the Havemeyer
corporation owns most of this years crop of
Cuban sugar. and that this accounts for the
Withholding of the crop from market pending
the agitation of the reciprocity question. Mr.
Havemeyer was excused at u o'clock, and will
appear before the committee again next Mon
day to complete his testimony Tomorrow
morning Arthur Donner treasurer of the Sugar
Trust and II. c. Mott, the companys general
buyer of raw sugar, will be called as witnesses
The examination in chief of Mr. Havemeyer
was conducted by Senator Plat. of Connecticut
chairman of the committee and the crOss-ex-
animation by Senator Teller, author of the reso-
luton. and the only minority member of the
subcommittee. Senator Durham, Of New
Hampshire, the other majority member of the
subcommittee. asked no questions but made
elaborate notes of the testimony. In answer to
the direct question Of Senator Platt, Mr.. Have
meyer said that the Sugar Trust since February
l had bought about $4,000 tons of raw sugar in
Cuba, about 10000 tons of which still in
the island In process of shipment. The $1,000
tons which have not yet been shipped from the
island represent about one-tenth of the total
amount of this years crop accounted for. In
other words Mr. Havemeyer's sworn statement
disproves Mr.. Teller's charge that in anticipa-
ton of the negotiation of reciprocal trade rela-
lions between the United States and Cuba on a
basis of mutual tariff concessions, the Sugar
Trust had bought the bulk of the years sugar
crop. and was holding II the island TO get the
benefit Of the reduced tariff rates. Mr.. Have
meyer did say, however, that the Cuban pro-
ducers themselves were Withholding their sugar
from market in the expectation of making a
larger profit when the proposed reciprocity ar
rangement is effected. He said that his COM
pany had bought this year only about one-t third
the amount of raw Cuban sugar usually pur-
chased, because of the indisposition of the Gu
ban producers TO dispose of their crop until
tariff concessions are granted by the United
States.
Mr.. Teller's CrOSS-examnation consisted in the
main of an effort TO broaden the investigation
into an examination of the business methods of
the Sugar Trust. particularly its relations to
the Beet Sugar Trust. He also attempted to
get from Mr.. Havemeyer an admission that the
Sugar Trust had bought up many Of the most
valuable plantations in Cuba. but the witness
testified fatty that his company did not own an
acre If Cuban sugar lands. although he himself
owned interests in several estates, all of which
however, he acquired before Cuba was freed
from Spain.
