NEW YORK. Aug. If. c. Lowry.
secretary OF committee OF wholesale g
groccrs formed 10 assist In obtaining
chca per sugar for consumers through re-
duction OF duties on raw and refined
sugars, has issued his twenty seventh
bulletin. In II he says;
ut has been the invarIabIe rule for
representatives of the domestic beet and
Louisiana sugar cane interests to charge,
both on the literature they disseminate
committees. that tho cane refining inter-
ests OF the Atlantic seaboard alone are
anxious for reduction OF the tariff for
the sole purpose OF annjhilating the do
mcstic sugar industry so as to give the
former 4 complete monopoly Of the suEa
arket and the regulation OF prices.
What these respective representatives are
careful not to dvulge Ia the close al
lance between the beet sugar industry
and the American Sugar Refining COM
panv and tho exclusive monopoly OF the
Louisiana raw canc sugar crop this trust
enjoys.
"hccording to the findings and report
Sugar Refining company controls over
So per cent OF the cane refining industry
and 81 per cent OF the beet sugar out
put. From the nature OF the control N
exercises over both industries IT has an
unfair advantage over Independent cane
refIners as II can compete with them
from both directions and regulate the
tory, On this account il is supremely in
different TO any action upon the tariffs
because It's handicap In one direction Will
be more than offset In another"

ment In Chinatown tonight They could
be traced TO no authentic source, but
varying accounts OF the reported assas-
sination were posted bulletin boards
throughout the Chinese quarter. At the
offices of the Chinese consul and the two
Chinese daily newspapers. no news OF an
attack upon DIR. Sen had been received
and the report of his death was given
little credcnce. Cablegrams were hur-
riedly dispatched TO Pckin. however, In
quiiing as to the safety OF til. former
revolutionary leader.
According to the rumors placarded in

Pekin yesterday to undertake to save tho
republic from a threa tened renewal OF

Of Generals Chang Chen wv and Aene

Talks of Real Progressives.

I am at loss to understand what
the true meaning OF the present
political 'ProGressives'' is or what
real progressiyes mean In adopting
the theories OF Roosevelt. Pinchot.
Garfield and many other impractic-
able theorists. for 10 my mind the
real progressiyes were such men as
Lincoln, who advocated and supported
the building OF the Pacific roads
through this. then undeveloped. ter
ritory. and Seward. his great score
tary Of state, who purchased Alaska
and intended at that time that it's
resources should enrich the American
prospectors or frontiersmen who had
the nerve 10 go into the country and
develop It,
believe that Hartman was one
Of the real progressives of our time,
together with James J. Fill, who
came after Lincoln and Seward and
took up the single tracks and tho
fifty-p pound rails and laid in their
stead the ninety and 100-pound rails
and double-tracked the system.
The real meaning OF progress to my
mind, In a large or small way, even
In our own city. is for men like NJ

builders OF the Hotel Utah. 10 remove

Agitation Over Railroad.

Al the present time much agita-
ton is being given to the possible
utilization Of the equipment of the
Panama railroad In the extension OF
the Alaska Northern railroad TO the
coal fields. In this discussion one
or two practical things are entirely
eliminated from the arguments set
forth. First. the gauge OF the Pana-
ma railroad is five feet for It's on
eration and It has much narrow
gauge equipment. while that OF the
Alaska Northern Is four feet eight
and one-half inches. Second, fhe
Panama equipment was constructed
for. tropical work In construction.
while that required for Alaska would
be entirely different. Third, the
Panama equipment. II Il does not al
ready burn fuel OIL, would have TO
be changed TO oil burners, for there
rs no possibility OF securing local coal
until the rails should reach a coal
mine, and several hundred miles of
construction under oil burning condI-
tions would have to he overcome he
