GoBRLED BY THE STANDARD OIL
Glucose Industry Added TO Trusts Con
troIIed by Rockefeller.

Glucose Industry Added to Trusts Con-
troIIed by Rockefeller.
New York, Jan. 10.-Standard Oil
interests are now in control OF the
glucose combination, which is to take
over the entire glucose business OF
the country The Standard Oil men
now control seven great industrial
trusts, including the United States
Steel corporation, Amalgamated Cop
per, the American Sugar Refining
company and the American Tobacco.
Under the plan the Corn Products
company stockholders will surrender
one third OF their holdings for the pur-
pose of acquiring the entire interest
in the three companies above named,
not already owned by the Corn Prod
ucrs company The New York Glu-
cose company, the Warner Sugar re-
fining company and the st. Louis
Syrup and Preserving company will
contribute working capital of $4,000
600 toward the net working capital OF
$5,00O,000. During the year just ended
these three companies did about so
per cent of the entire domestic and
export corn products business Of the
country.
The combination proposed is ex-
pected to strengthen the position of
all the companies involved and par
ticularly of the Corn Products COM
pany, by the elimination to large ex-
tent of keen competition which has
prevailed, and enable the concerns to
onerate at a better margin of profit.

FIGHTING.

Nagasaki, Jan II. - The transport
Mongolia. which arrived here yester-
day from V1adivostok with Russian
refugees, reports that a general up
rising throughout Siberia is feared.
Slaughter Is Ordered.
ST. Petersburg, Jan. 11.-Gen. Orion
has been appointed governor general
of Livonia. which means complete de-
vastation and humiliation there. The
slaughter is bound to be immediate,
but the returns will never be given to
the world.
Gen. Orloff has strict orders to re-
conquer the Baltic provinces, to use
the most stringent measures and to
stop at nothing, to show no law or
mercy. He is to kill, hang, burn; do
ANYTHING, but above all, restore order.
Such was the decision of the milf
tary council. Orloff is one OF the
Younger and more active leaders OF
Russia's army, especially chosen by
the military council on account, of his
firmness of character, and picked as
the one man in the whole army who
would stop at nothing.
Anarchy Will Continue.
The success which thus far has at
tended the campaign against the VIC
lent revolutionists has plainly encour-
aged the belief that the worst is over
for the winter except in the Baltic
provinces, the Caucasus and the Don
region, where the prevailing anarchy
is likely to continue indefinitely. Some
semblance of order is being gradually
restored in the empire. The socialists
and revolutionists stoutly maintain
that the present lull is only a truce
over the holidays, and from mysteri-
Gus hiding places the leaders continue
issuing orders to
Refuse All Compromise
with imperialism, to boycott the ma
tional assembly and to prepare for
great armed insurrection. The gov
eminent, however, processes conf
dence that the revolutionists will not
quickly recover the loss OF strength
and prestige which they have suffered.
Disorders on small scale and acts
of terrorism are expected to continue
and something in the nature Of a gen
eral demonstration is anticipated Jan.
%. but a great uprising in the immedi-
ate future is regarded in government
circles as impossible. The next real
crisis is not expected until the national
assembly meets, or the spring sets the
peasants in motion.
