ominous.
The nature Of his majesty's malady,
which is indicated az acute nephritis
complicated by uraemic poisoning and
which began to cause serious alarm
about July 10. has prevented the imperial
patient taking sufficient nourishment, and
he has continually become weaker
The bulletins have hitherto maintained
a hopeful tone and it was hoped that his
majesty would rally, but instead he sp
pears to have suffered a relapse and t is
feared that his heart cannot stand the
strain.
A remarkable hush prevailed over this
city this morning. Even during the bust
ness hours of the day almost the only
sounds heard was the occasional cry OF
the newsboys selling extras. Outside the
palace in the extreme heat of midday,
the patient crowds awaited with bowed
heads for news of his majesty's condition.

DESIRE TO KEEP IN THE MARKET
Secretary of Spreckels Sugar Cor
porations Denies that California
Companies Try to Restrain
Trade.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 26.-william H.
Hannah. secretary of the Spreckels sugar
corporations, was cross-examined today
in the federal inquiry into the so-called
sugar trust.
The Missouri river territory, with Kan
sas City and Omaha as distributing points,
was characterized by Hannah as the
dumping ground" for western sugar.
THE surplus is sold there for what we
can get" said Hannah. 1.-THE prevailing
freight rate from New Orleans to Kansas
City is 80 cents per 100 pounds. When
the market price is around $3.50 per 100
pounds 1t enables them to sell sugar in
the Missouri river territory at $5.12 per
100 pounds. With the price here at IS
and the freight rates IS cents per 100
pounds the total Of $5.55 makes profitable
competition impossible, but we have
thought it advisable to keep in the mar
ket for what we could get"
Hannah denied that the California
companies had at any time sought to
restrain trade.

The democratic senators passed a reso.
luton at their cancus saying that while

that with the pending amendment to the
constitution authorizing such a tax, now

existing corporation tax, would raise ap.
proximately an equivalent amount of
revenue.
The caucus endorsed In general a sugar
bill which Senator Williams later pre-
sented to the senate as a substitute to

reduction of 531a per cent on refined and
unrefined sugar; a reduction of 40 per
cent on molasses and abolish the duties
