RUSHING RAW SUGAR An Intersting Interview With Mr. 0. A. Spreckels of Trioo. 1OT THE SUGAR TRUST lIl An Attempt to Evade Payment of About $16,000,000.

HOW TO CHECKMATE IT Mr. C. A. Spreckels of San Francleco, who is not connected with the sugar trest. as are his father and brother, points out in the following interview with a Star reporter.

how the sugar trust expects to evade for the next six months the Increased tariff on raw sugar, and he also suggests a plan by which the scheme of the trust may be defeated. "The purpose of this extra session and of the new tariff measure," said Mr. Spreekels, "is to increase the income or revenne of the government. Among other things. the duty on imported raw sugar is increased from about $16 per short ton, at present, to about $32 per short ton, under the Dingley bill, and to considerably more under the schedule proposed by Mr.

Aldrich. I presume it is generally supposed by the public that this increased duty on raw sugar will be collected Immediately, as soon as the tariff bill becomes a law. So it win in theory, but in practice, or in fact. it will not for some time after the act becomes operative. The sugar trust has already provided to evade the increased tax on raw sugar for as long a period as possible.

The Trust Rumaing In Raw Sugar. "In ordinary times the sugar trust carries from 10.000 to 100,000 tons of raw sugar in stock to be worked up into refined sugar. That amount of supply on hand Is amply sufficient to meet ordinary demands. As soon, however, as it became apparent that a special session of Congress would be convened by the President for the purpose of increasing the revenues of the government by a higher tariff, and as soon as it was known that raw sugar would be an article upon which a Pigher duty would be levied, the sugar trust proceeded at once to balk the purpose of the special session. so far as it related to itself.

It began to rush into this country raw sugar from every country in the world where that commodity is produced. The ocean has been almost crowded with sails bringing cargoes of raw sugar to our ports, and today there are speeding to this country a fleet of vessels, almost without number, laden with raw sugar, all hoping to reach their destination before the new tariff bill goes into effect. "Already, according to Willett Gray's circular, the sugar trust -has in storage over biROX) long tons of raw sugar, or nearly short tons. It is the opinion of experts that before the new tariff measure goes into effect the sugar trust will have in stock in its warehouses from to 1,000,000 short tons of raw sugar. This vast amount -of sugar is over six months' supply for the United States.

By imperting It before the new tariff bill goes into operation. the sugar trust saves the amount of the increased duty over the present rate. As I stated Defore, the increase In the Dingley bill over present rates is abou Si, per short ton, and in the unarended Aldrich schedule it was over per short ton. Now the sugar trust by thus anticipating the operation of the new tariff law, expects to save in customs dties from to 'This vast sum of money will go into the treasury of the sugar instead of into the treasury of the United States. How to Make the Trust Pay.

"You ask if there is any way by which the sugar monoply may be thwarted In, this gigantlc scheme or conspiracy. I reply I think there is. That vast amount of raw sugar has baen imported to evade a tax, which the country needs, and which the people will have to pay to the trust, instead of to the government. The question simply is. how to compel the sugar nonopoly to pay to the government the tax which it will collect from the people.

It Is a very simple thing. Mr. Dingley prog.sed to collect this tax by providing that all articles imported Into the country after April I should pay the Increased tariff, or rather the rates fixed by the new tariff measure. But there is a simpler way to reach the sugar trust than that. It is this: Let the tariff measure provide that an internal revenue tax of SK1 or $18, or $2) ton be levied on all sugars refined In country for the next six months.

The ormous stock of raw sugar which the Oust has imported. will have to be refined within that period. The deterioration, storage ard insurance and interest will forbid the holding of it over that time. In this vay the government will get the tax which the sugar trust hopes to collect for Its own treasury." DISTRICT CONGRESS.

The deaths of cardinals always occur in twos. Suicides in Washington almost Invariably follow each other in one, two, three order. The records show that when a person takes his own life in Washington, two others generally follow suit within a week. There have been three suicides In Washington within the last foity-eight hours. Two of them were preceded by murderous assaults on women in the cases of Charles E.

Barber and Joseph Ferrari. Almost simultaneously with the latter's tragic death, the body of another man who had taken his life was found in Room 31, at Mades' Hotel, southwest corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 3d street northwest. The victim was George W. Marlow, a white man thirty-one years old, who was a native of Montgomery county, Maryland, and well known in that state and in this city. He had taken his life by closing the windows of his room, placing a blanket over the door, and turning on the gas.

Nothing was found to show the reason why he took his life, but financial troubles and the despondency arising therefrom were probably the cause, as a letter from the dead man's brother, Howard M. Marlow of Fairland, was found in his pocket. This letter stated that Marlow's mother would make a loan the dead man had requested if he gave proper security for it. George Marlow went to Mades' Hotel Monday. He looked worried and tired, and told the clerk he wanted a room where he could have a good rest.

He was assigned to room 31, a small but comfortable apartment, on the third floor. He did not come downstairs yesterday, and in the evening a porter was sent up to see if he was still in his room. The attendant retutned to the office and reported that the light was burnIng in 31. The Body Found. This morring at 8:30 o'clock a chambermaid went to the room and noticed the smell of escaping gas.

She hurriedly summoned George Orum, a waiter, who entered the apartment. He found Marlow lying undressed in bed and dead. The gas jet was turned on full force; the windows were closed and a blanket from the bed had been hung over the door, but the transom was uncovered. though tightly closed. The alarm was given and Officers Coghill and Hayes were quickly on the scene.

Dr. Hickling was also summoned. He found Marlow's body was still warm and was of the opinion that if the man had been discovered half an hour sooner his life might have been saved. All efforts at resuscitation. however, proved fruitless.

On the table in the room were a pint bottle containing a small amount of whisky and a large pocket knife. The letter above mentioned was found in his pocket, as well as a letter of introduction from Daniel O'Driscoll, and $25. and a package of papers. Marlow had been canvassing for the firm of J. B.

Myers dealers in starch, soap and sundries, and was at one time employed by Hill the dealers in agricultural supplies on Louisiana avenue. A number of cards of the Secret Service Law and Collection Company, located in the Webster Law building, were also found in the room. It Is thought that Marlow, who had been drinking, went to the hotel to recover from his despondency and began to brood over his circumstances. The presence of the knife on the table indicated that he first contemplated death by that means, but that he afterward concluded to take the less painful agency of the gas. The coroner, who was notified immediately after the discovery of the suicide, the scene and the body was removed to the morgue.

Surprise at the Deed. The news of the rash act spread rapidly and Marlow's friends, who were numerous, were shocked at it. The general opinion was that he was the last man in the world who would have been suspected of such a thing. He had been a man of genial nature, full of fun and even when in straits joked about the hard times and tried to hide his own necessities. The general impression among those who knew him was that he had grown despondent over his dependency upon others, and that he drank heavily, something he was not at all addicted to, and while drunk had taken his life.

Marlow was very happily married and lived in Sligo village with his wife and three children. Ile married a aister of John and Frank Fidler, well kr.own citizens of that v'icinity, with whom he was on excellent terms. He was an agent of the Secret Service and Collection Company, and is highly spokeu of by its managers for his honesty and earnestness. He was also a. salesman for J.

G. Myers Co. of Baltimore, dealers in soap and starch, and was zealously attending to an increasing trade. He had mqde out an application for appointment as a Pullman car conductor April 29. and had placed it in the hands of Mr.

Daniel O'Driscoll, the lawyer, who was his warm friend. The application was strongly indorsed, among those who recommended him being Mr. O'Driscoll, Senator Wellington, William E. Clark, John Joy Edson, Louis D. Wine, Whitman H.

Wilson, General Allan Rutherford, W. S. Hoge, Salter and De Lauder and others. Governor Lowndes of Maryland was to have come to Washington this week to see Mr. Nibbolas Main of the Pullman Company in his b'ehalf.

He was a tall, good-looking man, slightly bald above the forehead, with blue eyes, and wore a brown mustache. He was pcpular among his friends and acquaintarces and had a wide reputation for his ready vrit and powers as a raconteur. When he did not leave his room yesterday Proprietor Mudes sent a. servant up late last night to ascertain if he wanted anything. He replied good-naturedly that he needed nothing.

Nothing more was seen of him until his body was found this morning, as described. Posesil MoUve. The death of Marlow clcaea a legal prosecution which was started against him Saturday. Mr. D.

E. who has a grocery store at New Jersey avenue and street, swore out a warrant for him for alleged forgery and false pretenses. The deceased, as a drummer, had been given a nuimber of orders for by Mr. and when he called a week ago Saturday and was given an ordler he asked that the grocer cash him a check for 180. The check, which was for 180, purported to have been given by Myers Co.

of Baltimore, and as an accommodation the grecer cashed the check for him, One week later he received word that the check was worthles, and then he swore out the warrant. Detective Horne was given the warrant to serve, but he had not heard from the man until he learned of his death this morning. Coroner Hammett has given a certificate of death from suicide, and the dead man's brother-in-law has taken charge of the body. B1g Nateh of Pstamaateru.

M3 DAE 'WAS IISTAJilEOUS Mrs. Chiara Guiliana, His Victim, Was Seriously Wdunded. PARTICULARS OF THE AFFAIR Persons who were on their way to office from the northern section of the city this morning were attracted to the fruit store of Cherubino Guiliana, No.

820 14th street, where a horrible tragedy had been enacted, resembling the Barber affair of Monday, and resulting in the serious wounding of Mrs. Chiara Guillana and the suicide of her intended murderer, Jacopo Ferrari. The story is one of love and jealousy, having its inception in Italy a number of years ago, and its bloody termination this morning was extremely sad, because of the fpmily associations of the woman. Mrs. Guillana is not yet thirty years old, and hen intended slayer was about four years her junior.

As a maid in Italy she was known as Miss Chiara Guillana, her marriage being to a man whose name was the same as her own, although they were ot related. The Guilianas did not come to this country until about six weeks ago, while Ferrari had crossed the ocean many months before, and lived in Detroit. Could Not Live Without Her. As soon as he learned that the woman he loved had reached this city Detroit had no longer any attraction for Ferrari, and lie followed her here to induce her to leave with him. If ne could not succeed in this lie did not want to live.

This is what he told acquaintances in the Italian colony here. Six weeks ago Cherubino Guiliana proffered to buy Gerome Mazzocchi's fruit store on 14th street, and some days afterward the bargain was closed and the transfer made. As he expected to keep his family away from the 14th street house but a short time, he went to live in rooms in a house in Schott's alley, on Capitol Hill, near 2d and streets northeast, and just two days after reaching there Jacopo Ferrari put in appearance. His presence was not desired. The family was apparently a happy one, and Mrs.

Guillana, It is said, gave Ferrari not the slightest encouragenent. "I'll have her or die," he is reported to have told one of his Italian friends, but those at No. 113 Pennsylvania avenue, where he roomed, were unaware of his Ferrari Warned. Cherubino Guiliana found Ferrari at the Schott's alley hoise, and warned him to remain away, calling In Sergt. Charles Lombardy, to whom he made complaint.

The sergeant suggested that he have the man arrested, but Guiliana did not want his family affairs ventilated In court, and so he decided to take no action. Several times the insanely jealots man was seen about the pre.nises. and several times the woman's husband heard of the threats, but paid no attention to them. "Tkat man's crazy," he said, "but he won't do any Iarm." Finally the transfer of the store was made, and Guiliana, his wife and three boys were settled in the 14th' street house. Gerome Mazzocchi'and his wife kept two rooms in the dwelling after the transfer was made, and Mrs.

Mazzocchi and her daughter were in the rear room eating b-reakfast when the tragedy of this morning occurred. After the Guilianas moved to the house on 14th street Ferrari stopped in front of the store one evening, but did not remain long, for Mr. Guillana refused to converse with him, and Mrs. Guillana was in the house with her children. Lurked Behind Trees.

Several times he was seen lurking about the street corners and behind trees. He was then looking for a chance to either take away the wife of the fruit dealer or murder her and himself. A fcw minutes before 8 o'clock this morning the fruit dealer left his store to go to narket, his son, Joe, beir.g left In charge. His wife had gotten out of bed early, as it was her wash day, and she was endeavoring to finisli hanging out her clothes before preparing breakfast, which she was going to have ready for her husband by the time he returned. Her two smaller boys, six and nine years old, respectively, were left in bed in the back room on the third floor.

Shortly after the husband left the store, the.murderaus Italian, who had probably been secreted in the park at the next corner, appeared at the store door, where he met the son Joe, aged about fourteen years. The boy suspected that his mother's life was in danger and stepped in front of the man, but the latter brushed him aside and ran through the store. Mrs. Maszocchi and her child were seated at the table, and the man's coat switched her as he passed through the room. Confront.

Hils Victima. ReachIng the long, narrow yard, Ferrari found Mrs. Guiliana hanging the last of the wash on the llire. She was in her stocking feet at the time, and had a few garments on a piece of board. She had just picked up a garment and was in the act of raising it to the line above her head when she saw Ferrari, with the pistol in his hand, coming toward her.

Her attenlion had been attracted by the noise of his footsteps in the store and back room. She was at his mercy, with nothing at hand which she might have used as a weapon. What passed between them was in the language of their native country, and that the neighbors could not nderstand, It all said In a few seconds, and without giving the woman time to discuss the matter, he pointed the pistol at her and pulled the trigger, When the bullet struck her she screamed and fell to the ground unconecious. Although no one could what he did, it Is supposed Ferrari then used a knIfe. Quickly turning, the man pointed the barrel of the weapon toward the left side of his head and pressing it against the hair, just above the ear, he pulled the trigger of the American bull dog weapon and sent the bullet crashing through the skull into his brain.

Fell Against the Fenee. Death was Instantaneous, and the man's body fell against the fence, then rolled over some boxes in which flower. were growing, and landed on- the brick pavement, a few inches only efrom where the woman lay unconscious and apparently dying.

She was suffering intense pain, and equid not be kept quiet.

The doctor was Unable to explore the wound to any depth or properly care for the woman, beneuse of the surroundirgs, and he took her t9 the hospital as quickly as possible. Scon afterward her husband returned from market, and the sight of the crowd which. had gathered in front of his store gave him notice that something had happened. He soon learned the news and went at once to the hospital to see his wife. In the meanwhile the body of the dead man had been taken to the morgue and the revo-ver turned over to Precinct Detective Sutton.

Comment, on the Tragwedy. Scores of Italians, friends of the Guiliana family, called at the house within an hour after the tragedy had been enacted, but cnly a few of them admitted any acquaintance with the dead man. Some of them had known him in Italy, where he was a man of some While in Italy, some of them said, he was tn love with Mrs. Gulliana, but she had.aever given him any encouragement. Became of his Insane love for the woman he left his home to get away from her, and when her husband came here she remained there.

When he got on his' feet in filancial matters he sent for her and she came to this country, as already stated, less than two months ago. How Ferrari learned of her coming is not known, but two days after she landed he came from Detroit and appeared at the house In Schott's alley. Mr. Guiliana, speaking- of tile affair, said that, while the dead mah had -known his (Guiliana's) wife In Italy, 'be had not known her before she moarried. He was very troubled ovef the tragedy snd did not feel like talking about it.

His son Joe, who was in'charte of the store, said that Ferrari pushed him aside when he ran through the store; and he (the boy) followed him. "My father hardly knew the man," the boy said to a reporter. 'nut he would not speak to him anyway, benuse was mad with him. I don't knowsthe an's name, but he tried to kill my'noth' once before." The boy added that heibad amen Ferrari several times, and said he knew his mother was afraid of him. At the Moseue.

She could Articulate but poorly, and her mouth constantly filled with blood. An interpreter was secured from the Italian settlement on Ohio avenue adjolning' the hospital, but could get no Information from her. She seemed only anxious to know if her dead.

The wounds in the throat were jagged and irregular, and It was at first thought they were both made by On examination by Drs. Vaughan and Turner they thought probably her accoubt was correct. A knife had been apparently thrust into the throat directly over the Adam's apple, and a bullet had struck the left side of the neck just below the jawbone and coursed downward. She was removed.from the emergency room to a private apartment en the fourth floor, and as the blood continued, to appear in -her mouth an operation was decided on. Many Italians visited the' but none of them seemed to Inpw anything about the causes leading up to the tragedy, or if they did, studiously refrained from saying anything.

The one which had the Adam's apple had slightly cut the jugular vein and passed through the thyroid gland. The vein was drawn up and joined with stitches and ligatures, but the missile was not located or removed. This afternoon the chances for her recovery were slight. The wound below the jawbone: was cut and jagged, but had reached no dangerous proportions. Talked With a lergeant.

CODIGlI OF CoRA FFAIRI Commissioner Calhoun Again Confers With the President THE LEE REPORT ARRIVES It was admitted at the White House today that the President has offered the post of minister to Spain to ex-Governor Jacob Cox of Ohio. Whether or not he will accept is not known. General Cox is an old personal friend of the President.

and one in whom Mr. McKinley has a great deal of confidence. Although almost seventy years of age, General Cox is still a man of much vigor and energy. Should be accept this Importsant post he would bring to it an experience gained in important service and achievements in public and Private life. He had a distinguished career as a soldier, ri ing to the rank of major general.

He was governor of Ohio in 18M and 1867, and for two years was Secretary of the Interior In President Grant's cabinet, from which he retired on account of disagreement with certain measures of the administration. Later he served In Congress, and for a time was president of the Wabash He is now practicing law In Cincinnati. It is not likely that any action will be taken In this matter until after the President returns to Washington. Gen. Cox will have ample time in the interval to make up his mind whether he is willing to accept the appointment and undertake the great responsibilities which such action involves, Mr.

Calhoun Sees the President. Mr. Calhoun, the President's special commissioner to Cuba, had another conference with President McKinley this morning. Owing to the fact that Mr. McKinley was to leave at noon on the trip to Nashville, Mr.

Calhoun went to the White House at 9:30 by He was accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Fishback. They remained with the President about threequarters of an hour. Neither Secretary Sherman nor Assistant Secretary Day was present at today's conference. After Mr.

Calhoun's departure from the White House he said that he would not accompany the President on his trip to Nashville, but wculd return to his home at Danville, this evening. He had, he said, nothing to add to what he already had given to the newtpapers beyond the fact that he would visit Washington again after the Prea dent's return from the south for a further consultation. It is expected that he will prepare a report giving the reulmts of his researches and observations in Havana and vincinity. Mr. Calhoun newt paid a IUit to the State Department with Mr.

Fishback. and in consultation with Asisstant SecreIrY Bay for about an hour and a half, during which time aeistant meretary denied himself to all callers. Arrival of Gem. Lee's Report. The Lee report upon the Ruiz case, which has attracted so much attention, was brought to the department by Mr.

Fishback and delivered to Judge Day, who saw the original twenty-four hours after it had been brought to his attention in the press. The assistant secretary said to a Star reporter that he was not prepared to say that the printed publication was inaccurate, which in diplomatic parlance is about as far as a State Department official can go toward conffming- a statement. The report Itself was thoroughly discussed by the three officials, and all that could be gathered as to the future action of the departient in the matter was that it. would be held in abeyance until the return of President McKinley from his Nashville trip. It is recalled is this connection that the Ruiz case does not stand alone at the State Department, for, although the conditions in that were more aggravated than in the others, the department has had to complain and seek reparation In other oases involving the confinement of American citizens in violation of treaty rights.

This was true in the cases Qf Scott and of ToIon, and although claims for illegal imprisonment were preferred some time ago they were pigeonholed and never heard of In the case of Mr. Delgadoes, the Spanish government settled the case by the payment of $15,000, which satisfied the individual for the assault upon his person, but there Is no record of any apalogy for the incident. Disposed to Vigorous Acetio. It is evidently the intention of the department, however, not to allow this last case to go the way of its predecessors, but to press it to a conclusion without permitting It to drop out of sight. The widow of Dr.

Ruix has filed a claim for $150,000 for the illegal imprisonment of her husband. and Secretary Sherman is on record as having said he did not regard the amount as excessive. -Investigating the Leak. The officis of the State Department hiave instituted a quiet Investigation to fix the responsibility for the premature and unofficial publication of Consul General Lee's report on the Ruis case. Inasmuch as the report was published almost simultaneously with its arrival in New York in the posession of Mr.

Fishback, and as that gentleman says It did not leave his hands, the impression prevails that the leak occurred In the Havan-a consulate. CANNOT SAIL 'TBMORUnW.
