One Enid to Ilnvo neon Formed to
Control tlio Kntlro Market.
Nmv YOIIK , April Itl. Hcports have been
current for some days on' the sugar market
that u combination has been formed between
the sugar trust , all the oastcrn refiners and
the Wnolosalo Grocers association to acquire
complete control of the sugar trade. It is
known that negotiations have boon pending
bctwccn.lndepondont refiners , the sugar.trust ,
and the wholesale dealers to handle all sugar
rcllnod in this country nnd boycott the ro-
flnod sugars of foreign countries. So far the
deal has resulted only in an association of
the rbllnors. It was staled loday that Claus
SprecUlos , E. C. Knight , Harrison & Frazor ,
nnd all the Independent sugar refiners have
entered Into an agreement with the trust to
work In harmony with Its managers and pro
duce only their pro rata share of iho cntiro
production , which will bo limited to sales
made In r.dvanco by wholesale grocers.
Ono of the largest sugar dealers in the city
said In reference to the agreement : "Ko-
Hners nro now making n profit of only 1-15 of
n cent per pound on sucar handled by them.
-They are restricted 19 Ihls profit because at
Sf of n cent itcr pound between the cost of ro-
lined nnn the selling prlco foreign beet sugar
would como to thu market In such quantities
ns to prevent the placing of the product of
American refiners. "
Today telegrams were received asking for
quotations In German boot sugar , and that
article , favored as It ibhj'a high bounty lo
Iho producer from Iho German government ,
U looming up promptly as a menace to the
refining business hero. There will bo no ut-
tempt to boycott It , however , but individual
refiners ' ' ' and the trusl . , . working . together , will
take wb.uto.ror stops they deem necessary t ( )
prevent it or any other foreign refined sugar |
finding a market here.

lines on the commission question is Intro
duced In n circular issued today by the
passenger department of the Alton. It Is
addressed to all connections mid contains all
the correspondence on the subject. An in

by General Solicitor Brown of the Alton , de
claring that , In his opinion , n number of rail
way companies hnvo no legal right to com-
blno together and take concerted action to In
terrupt the business of the Alton ns n penalty
of ! its refusal to enter Into any contract with
them. Such n combination amounts In law
; conspiracy. Ho suggests that It will bo
well for the management to .notify each boy
cotting line of the purpose of the Alton to hold
them legally responsible for the consequences
olC their action. General Passenger Agent
Charlton notifies them accordingly that they
will bo held responsible for any damage
which may result. It remains to bo seen
what eastern roads huvo to say to this
argument.
It is rumored in railroad circles thai the

ignored by the company it can menu nothing
else than a dissolution of the association at

( : rnm to TUB BKI : . ! The strike of the

This morning the Hto Grande began handling
Burlington cars , the other roads did the
sumo and business was moving ns if there
had been no strike nt all. When the news
of the action of the board of federation at
Lincoln was received It put an end to nil
hope that tlio switchmen had of assistance
from other trainmen. There will bo no de
lay In Burlington business , which will go on
as if no strike bad over occurred. Its only
effect hiia been to throw twenty-one men out
of work , which they will all need before they
got another job. The only hope of success
which tbo strikers nt any tlmo hud was loin-
volvo the trainmen of other roads. This they

Interests of the west and tlio east clash on all
Important questions before the country. Thn
Alk'ghonys form a natural dividing line be

JACKSON , Miss. , April 13. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB BHK. ] James Hill , colored ,
whoso appointment as postmaster at Vicits-
burg has caused so much comment in that
city is still hero. Ho stated that ho had
endeavored to have n.c-onfercncowlth leading
citizens of Vicksburg but without success.
Ho was nwnro that there was much
bitterness expressed 'by some against him
but ho thought those expressions wore with
out sufficient cause. Ho could not say how
the matter would terminate. No petition
has been presented to the governor In the
matter. There were several Vicksbunr
lawyers hero 'today attending the
supreme court. among them Mayor
Booth. They nil ngreo that the feeling
against Hill as n prospective postmaster was'
intense and argued further on the statement
\at tno result of Hill's ' going UL Viclcsburg
mid assuming the ofllco would bo an act of
doubtful discretion with iho present feeling
existing against him.
The sentiment of thoughtful and leading
men at the capltol Is that while thoy.sympa-
thizo with the people of Vicksburg In their
protest against the distasteful appointment
they deprecate any attempt to defy the rov-
ernment or any attempt bv violence to drlvo
off , intimidate or harm the appointee.
