The employees Of the sugar trust in
thu Brooklyn re6neries, who we're in
dicted by a federal grand juTy last week
for connection with the weighing frauds,
have been dismissed by the high officials
of the trust. some time ago they dis
missed Superintendent Splitter, whom
theg scouse of having given the order to
operate the secret spring that affected
the false weighing. This is the basest
iDgrsi'ude. These men received no
reward for their dishonesty of which the
sugar trust WAS the direct beneficiary
and few there are who do not believe
that the unfortunate men we're prompted
to do as they did BY their employers.
Few corporations and fewer trusts have
souls.

C'Brlsn's Fight With Johnson.

the consensus Of opinion Of the sporting
experts who saw last nights battle, when
the giant negro. who holds the title OF
champion heavyweight of the world,
failed utterly to make crediiable show
ing against Jack O'BrieD, the local light
heavyweight. johnson cannot punch.
he hiss the beighth, the reach and the
weight, but he wss slow as molssses last
night and be had not the strength be-
hind his blows to stow the white man
away despite the fact that he several
times landed on a vital spot. johnson
acted as though he was still afraid of
punishment, and he held back and
awaited his opponent Aat-footedly with
the result that O'Brien danced 10 and
out like q hornet, landing at will, and
ia most of the rounds out-pointing the
negro. But even O'Brien's friends will
not claim any worlds championship for
him on the strength Of what be did last
night. He could not bit, but that had
been expected, and the only damage he
showed on the negro was to bang up the
latter's left eye n trine.

WAS issued today for the arrest of Presi-
dent Dubroviu, of the union of Russian
people organization, on charge of
completely 10 number Of murders that
are laid at the door of the Organization.
The accusation against Dubroyin wss
made by Deputy HerIzsnstein, Of the
First DOuma, In the trial at HelsIngfors
OF members Of the organization on
charges of murder. Herizenstein de-
clared tina. Dubrovin hired sssassins to
kill certain men who stood In the way
of the organizations schemes. The
general charge that the union Is whole
sale murder society is also made against
Dubroyin. There is much speculation
here as to whether the charge against
Dubroviu will be pushed, owing to the
fact that he is known to be one Of the

pin, named by Herzsnstsin as one OF
the contemplated victims of the union,

Sixty-first Congress.
Washington, May 20.
SENATE.

There we're about six republicans and
four democrats 10 the chamber this
morning when the Senate convened but
Senator Aldrich briskiy began work on
the tariff bill.
He called up q paragraph 10 the
chemical schedule which was passed
over some time ago. Mr.. Stone suggest
ed the absence of 3 quorum and the
signal bells announcing the roll call
brought three fourths of the members to
their seats.
The first subject under consideration
was extract of quebracbo, which is The
extract Of tree that grows In Argentine
and Is used for tanning purposes.
Senator Daniel made lengthy speech
favoring the Payne schedule. He said
that unless that was done trust in Lon
don would control the industry and
twenty.three manufacturers OF tanning
extracts in this country would be driven
out of business.
In opposing the proposed increase in the
duty on quebrscho, Mr.. Smith, Of South
Carolina, made conservation speech.
He said that iu Virginia, North Caro-
lima end South Carolina, there were
vast regions which had been deforested
through the Efforts to get the oak and
chesuut bark from which the tanning
extracts are made. He said that one OF
the great questions before the country is
the preservation Of the forests. BE sd-
vocated q low duty on quebacho IS an
aid to forest conservation in this country.
Following a lengthy discussion in
which Senator La Toilette and others
spoke for the interests of the tanners and
Senators Daniel, Simmons and Martin
for the American producers Of tanning
extracts vote Was taken on Nh. La
Follelte's proposition that the duty on
quebacho be reduced from one-balf to
one quarter of cent pound. The re-
suit showed greater splitting OF party
lines than on any vote that has yet been
taken since the tariff bill was under con.
siderstiou in the Senate. Fourteen re-
publicsns voted for the reduction, and
FIVE democrats including the two Vir-
ginia senators, voted against the pro-
posed reduction. The vote was SS to 20
against the La Toilette amendment and
the finance committees amendment re-
storing the Dingley rates of one-bslf of a
cent pound was then agreed to,
