MUCH SUGAR IS
DELAYED HERE

Owing to the fact that the shipment
of sugar by the new Tehuantepec route
has not been as fast rs was expected
there is great amount of this article
ON hand In these islands at present and
the glut of sugar TO be handled here
Will probably continue till late In July
and possibly into the month of August.
While this fact would seem to be bad
news, in reality it is good to those in
terested in sugar here. Last year at
this time sugar was worth 3.43, while
at present it is $3.50 and the market
is due to keep on going up. The first
months of the year the price is always
low on account of the fact that the big
Cuban crop comes in, and then grad
ually goes up reaching its highest point
about September.
This year the mills in Cuba COM
menced to grind in December. as
against February last year and as the
result prices are higher at the present
time than they were last season. As
the remainder of the crop from these
islands reaches the market the price
should be constantly going up and the
delay in shipping will really make mon
ey for those interested, in spite of the
fact that they have had to keep the
sugar in storage longer.
At present, according to the esti-
mates of Mr.. Atherton, of the Sugar
Factors Co., which handles about 80
per cent of the crop, there are about
$4,000 tons of sugar on these islands
which are waiting to be moved. Last
year on May l there had been 100000
tons moved while this year on the same
date $4,000 tons have left for the
market. There have been large
number of sailing vessels here already
and for this reason these figures do not
accurately express the difference be-
tween the two amounts which have
been moved.
The American-Hawaiian expected to
move 100000 tons by May 1 but at this
time had only moved $4,000. From
now on, however, there will be no in
crease in the amount which will be in
storage here till the end of the season
is reached as the crisis has been passed
and the transportation will be faster.
So far this month the following ships
have taken out the following sugar car
goes in tons: Bangalore, 5000; Manga
Reva, 1000; John Ena, 1000; Mexican,
1880; Nevadan, $4,000; Curtis, 1900;
Helene, 1000; Irmgard, HOO. Other
big shipments which will go out in the
near future are, Californian, 5000; Mis-
sourian, 1000; Nebraskan, 5000; Diri-
go, 800. AS the output of the mills on
the islands is estimated at $4,000 tons
per month, it will be seen that there
is no longer any danger of greater
glut in storage here than exists at
present.
Several plantations have had to build
new storage sheds in which to keep
their sugar till it could be shipped,
among these being Waialua, Oahu and
those at Kahului. The railroad storage
sheds here are well filed and they had
to refuse to take any more sugar from
The plantations till more boats came in.

IT MAY Be A SUICIDE
Body Found in Chicago
River Weighted Down
With Stones.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-With hands tied
behind him and clothes weighted down
with stones, the body OF an unfdenti-
fed man was found floating IN the
Chicago river near It's mouth yester-
day. The police believe the man was
the victim Of a mysterious murder, but
they also say he may have adopted an
unusual method of suicide.
A fragment Of white marble tomb
stone a foot square was found but
toned in the bosom of the shirt. Four
smaller pieces Of the same marble slab.
with seven pieces Of concrete and a
large bowlder were in the pockets Of
the coat and trousers. The weight Of
the stones was perhaps six pounds.
The hands were bound with a length
Of window cord. One end of this was
tied about the left wrist in a hard
square knot. The other end was drawn
tight around the right rist by a slip
knot. In life the man could have
brought his hands to his sides. Two
feet of cord hung loosely across his
back.
A cash an inch or more in length
showed on the forehead above the left
eye A low crowned black crush hat
was found stuffed beneath the right
arm under the coat.

day struck Toulon with dreadful force.

ment arsenal there was submerged,
completely disabling the plant and
causing great loss. Vessels in the
harbor were tossed hither and thither
in the furious gale as if they were
mere bits of bark. Several smaller
ones were beached and the historic old
man-o-war Guerrier was swamped and
prevented from sinking only by hard
work on the part of the naval authori-
ties. The council general was hastily
summoned today to discuss relief meas
ures.
The grape crop has been entirely de-
stroyed and vast stretches of territory
are covered with water.
DevOur Decayed Food.
A dispatch from Madrid says that
the greatest distress prevails in the
flooded district OF Malaga. The gov
ernor is preventing famished people
seizing and eating decayed foodstuffs
that have been thrown out by store
keepers. The work of clea ting away
the foul smelling mud left in the street
by the floods is being pushed rapidly
Many bodies have been found in the
mud. A band of emigrants which was
encamped on a quay the night of the
flood has not been seen since, and it
is feared all of its members persisted.
The damage done by the flood is
placed at $S.SOO,OOO Fifteen hundred
stores were ruined.
Militia Aids Sufferers.
In the Agde district today the wealth
er was fine. The floods there are sub
siding. The military did not cease
their work, and much was done in the
way of the construction of bikes and
river walls to lessen the danger of the
destruction to property, should there
be a recurrence of the storms. Some
of the local trains ran during the day.
Tonight. however, the sky is again
overcast, and further downpour is
| expected.

Spain Alarmed at Rapidly
Increasing Exodus of
Peasants to Panama.

Madrid Sept ALARMED at the
drain upon its industrial classes, due
to the increased emigration of Span
ish laborers to the Panama canal, the
Spanish government has entered upon
a vigorous campaign to put an end to
the exodus.
The government claims to possess
proof that the laborers are grossly de-
ceived by the recruiting agents of the
canal and that upon their arrival at
Panama they are compelled to live and
work under the most atrocious condi-
tions.
Since the advent OF the Maura cabi-
net the government has been especially
active. Senior Cieova, the minister OF
the interior, has drafted a most vigor-
Gus law TO restrict emigration and will
present it for the approval of the cor
tez when it assemblies next month.
Makes 1t Hard to Emigrate.
Although it ostensibly recognizes the
right of a Spanish subject to emigrate.
it absolutely prohibits the departure of
Spaniards subject to military duty and
requires the express permission of a
department Of emigration. which the
law created for those desiring to go
abroad for the purpose of colonization.
It also contains another clause aimed
directly at canal emigrants. namely,
voiding all contracts in which the
transportation. as in the case Of the
canal laborers. is TO be paid by labor.
The conditions and restrictions it pur-
poses to impose upon the steamship
companies are almost prohibitive.
The companies are required to give
heavy bond to subject themselves to
Spanish law. to refrain from advertise
ment except in such publications as
are approved by the department of emf
grafton. TO send lists OF applications
for passage TO the department. to de-
fray the cost Of inspectors. to guaran-
tee the immunity OF emigrants' bag
gage from seizure for debt. and TO re-
patriate emigrants upon application at
half the outgoing rate

Confident the Minnesota
Man Would Make Strong
Presidential Candidate.
BUT WILL BRYAN KEEP OUT?
Developments Indicate That Peer
less" One Can Not Get Unani-
nous Vote.

Washington. Sept 3O.-Within the
next month John ]. johnson, governor
Of Minnesota, will be urged once more
and more vigorously than heretofore
TO allow the use of his name as a can
dictate for the democratic nomination
for the presidency. He has been in the
minds Of a great many members Of the
party for a year or more. AS is now
generally known he is the man Henry
Watterson was thinking about when he
said last spring that he could pick a
dark horse capable Of winning.
During the summer months scores
of democrats have travelled from var
ious parts of the country to Mime
apolis 10 see Johnson and try to per-
suade him to enter the race He has
received visits fro ma large number Of
newspaper correspondents who hoped
they might be able to send out an
announcement of his candidacy Ev-
cry caller came away with the same
story. The governor could not even
be persuaded to say that he would like
to be president He did say to some
of his callers that no one could even
think of being a candidate as long as
William ]. Bryan desired the nomina-
. the visitors was that with Bryan out
OF the race the governor might be per-
suaded to become a candidate.
Bryan Losing Strength.
Recently the conviction that Bryan
cannot be elected has taken hrmer root
among thoughtful democrats every
where The time has come when more
members Of the party than at any time
since 1896 are saying. why not look
the situation squarely in the face why
not be sane about this thing?" De-
velopments of the last few weeks in
dictate very clearly that Bryan cannot
get an unanimous nomination from his
party No one doubts that he viii be
nominated if he persists in insisting
that the party shall make him its can
didate again. but he Will be the nomi
nee of only one wing of his party
The democrats of the eastern states
have no thought of supporting him in
convention, and the latest information
gathered in the south indicates that 1t
IS extremely doubtful If he can get the
votes in convention of all the states in
that section of the country. The boom
for Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler. the mill
lionaire lieutenant governor of New
York, has been making Roadway as a
mere protest against the apparent pro-
gram Of the party to nominate Bryan.
Every well informed man knows that
Chanler viii not be nominated for
president. His name never would have
been mentioned if Bryan had been
eliminated from the equation six
months ago.

GAR IS STILL THE BOSS
Retains Power to Convoke
Peace Conference Auto
matte Gatherings Fail.

The Hague. Sept. 29-The effort to
make future international conferences
automatic and Independent of the will
of any sovereign has failed, and it is
now certain that Emperor Nicholas OF
Russia will convoke the next conference
as usual
In the original propositions. drafted
first by Great Britain, and then BY the
United States. there We're two uncon-
cealed ntentions-namely: to secure
automatic periodic meetings of the con
ference every five or seven years and
the withdrawal of the power to call
future conferences from Russia not on
account Of any feeling against the Rus
sian emperor. but on the principle that
the conference should be automatic and
independent.

to all present except NJ. NeHdon. The
delegations OF the countries which de-

GOV. STEUNENBERG'S
NAME HEARD IN TRIAL
Second Week Opens Today
Government Working
Hard for Evidence.
TRYING HARD TOCONvICT BORAH
Senator Continues to Express Conf
dence That He VIII Be En-
tirely Exonerated.

Boise, Idaho. Sept. 30.-When the
second week of the trial of United
States Senator Borah charged with
conspiracy in Idaho land frauds begins
today before Federal Judge Whitson
the government attorneys will be con-
fronted by the task of connecting the
defendant on trial in some criminal
way with the alleged unlawful COM
bination.
During the first six days of the
trial the name of Senator Borah was
seldom heard, and the evidence adduced
in behalf of the United States had to
do mainly with the activities of former
Governor Frank Steunenberg. 1t has
been clearly shown that a partnership
existed between Steunenberg and a
capitalist named William Sweet, to &C
quire, hold, and generally deal in tim
Der lands. It has been shown. accord
ing to the confessions OF the dummy
entrymen themselves, that John L.
Wells and John Kinkatd furnished per-
sons with money to prove up their
timber claims.

Next it has Deen shown rnat Gov
ernor Steunenberg was introduced to
one Albert E. Palmer, and that Palmer
introduced the former chief executive
of Idaho to James T. Barber and sum
ner G. Moon of the present Barber
Lumber company. One group of dun
my entrymen testified that they decided
their property over to Palmer.
The immediate purpose of the prose-
cution now is to show that Palmer, drew
the money. some $50 600 in all. from
Barber and Moon and turned it over
to Frank Steunenberg. agent. who in
turn gave it to Wells and Kinkaid.
As far as this evidence has gone it
has been admitted without any OBJ
lection on the part Of the defense on
the promise of prosecuting attorneys
to connect Senator Borah with the con
spiracy Senator Borah's counsel have
adopted the general policy of not cross

1t seems TO be the policy Of the de-
Tense to admit for the purpose of Sena-
tor Borah's case that conspiracy did

Borah knew nothing of its formation
or existence and that he acted in good
faith as attorney in handling some Of
the land matters upon the assurance
of his clients that the purchases were

KURTz'S SECOND WEEK
Sensation in Disbarment
Trial at South Bend
Graft Witness Trapped.

South Bend, Ind. Sept. 30.-The sec
ond week of the disbarment proceed
ings against former States Attorney
G. Kurtz will begin today. With one
exception, all of the witnesses from
whom sensational testimony is ex-
pected were reserved for today and
Tuesday.
Prosecution Starts Panic
The biggest sensation sprung by the
prosecution was the warrant for the
arrest of Rudolph Muessel on a charge
of perjury. The warrant was placed
in the hands of an officer to serve late
Saturday night. and it is likely that
Muessel will be arraigned in court the
first thing this morning.
Muessel, summoned to appear as a
witness for the prosecution, was I'M
able to remember having ever seen any
slot machines in South Bend, and
denied ever having acted as a collector
for Thomas Moss, owner of the sew
eral hundred gambling devices al
legged to have been operated in South
Bend.
Perjury Is Alleged.
As soon as Muessel left the stand
the prosecution placed Edward Fred
erickson in the chair and brought out
testimony to the effect that Muessel
not only knew of the existence of the
slot machines but that he also made
regular trips to the saloons in which
they were installed. for the purpose of
emptying the cash boxes.
Because of the action Of the prose-
cution in asking for the arrest of Mues-
sci several other witnesses are in a
panic.
Among the witnesses summoned to
appear this week are members of the
local police department.
