Philadelphia. April 4. The Sugar Trust today issued a circular to the sugar brokers of this city, asking them not to handle any foreign sugars. There is considerable German and Scotch sugar coming to this port. The Scotch sugar is soft white which is used by bakers and confectioners.

It is the same quality as the trust's Xos. 13 and 14 and is sold much cheaper. The German granulated is also selling below the trust's figures.

Dissatisfaction Growing on All Accounts With Kcgard to tho Twelve Men "Who Hold the Lives of the Taylors in Their Hands Suspicion of Bribery Deepens into Certainty Reputable Citizen Comes Forward With the Statement That He "Was Twice Approached With Money in the Taylors' Interest. Carrallton, April 4. The Taylor jury is still out without any immediate prospects of its members coming to an agreement as to the guilt of the accused of the murder of the Meeks family. It is stated that the jury-stands seven for conviction and five against. At 1:30 o'clock the jury sent for Judge Rucker and the foreman William Freeman, notified him that the jury could not agree whereupon the judge instructed the sheriff to take the jury to their' room and lock them up.

Judge Rucker announced to a reporter today that he would keep the jury locked up until Saturday noon, when he has to go to Keytesville to open court. Prosecuting Attorney Miller of Carroll county has been investigating the charges of jury bribing and states that there is not the slightest doubt that two or more of the jurymen ave been bribed to either secure an acquittal or hang tho jury. Carrollton, April 4. There is no doubt that the jury has been tampered with. Sidney Miller, prosecuting attorney of Carroll county, has received a statement from Charles Dickinson, who was on the panel from which the jury was chosen, which is very damaging to the defense.

Dickinson swears that on the Monday night before the trial began, Jacob S. Williams, cashier of the bank of Tina, went to him at his farm house and said that if, in case he was selected for a juror, he would stand out for acquittel there would be money in it for him, and if he would succeed in hanging the jury there would be good money in it. Williams said that he would see that the money was paid. THEY TRIED TWICE. The next day, Dickinson says he was approached by Rich Smith, a brother-in-law of Barney Hudson, who is now on the jury, and Smith made the same proposition that had been made by Williams.

Dickinson is one of the most reputable men in the county. There is great indignation in Carroll county that a jury could be found to do anything but convict the Taylors. Xo one has the slightest doubt of their and the only reason expressed to account for the hung jury is that some member of it has been bribed. Marshal Wilson of Browning says that there is the greatest indignation in Linn and Sullivan counties over the manner in which the jury is holding out. Asked if he apprehended danger from mob violence in case the jury should fail to agree, he laughed and said: "Well, you can't tell what will happen." "Bill says if he is acquitted he will return to Browning.

Do you think he was asked. "Well, if he did he would last just as long as it would talce us to find a rope to hang him." MAKES THEM. AI-I, ltlCII. Emma Mino Ownern Accept in Favor of the Wood Heirs. Denver, April 4.

The famous Wood heirs' litigation has been settled and the plaintiffs have came into possession of mining property valued at It was claimed that W. J. Wood, a poor Canadian who located the Emma mine, was defrauded of his interest in that property.

When they discovered what they had done they consulted attorneys and suit was begun in the United Suites court They obtained a judgment for a one-third interest in the Emmat mine and for $539,000 in cash.

3 was thought that the defendants would appeal from thos decision, but finally they agreed to settle the matter without further litigation and all the heirs will be enriched. All tho hirs except Captain James O. "Wood of Chicago have signed tihe contract and agreement Captain Wood is entitled to about one twenty-seventh interest in the Emma mine, and has the privilege to come in and sign with the others, or enforce his proportionate share of the judgment. Xo matter which course he takes, the owners will not be embarrassed thereby. In tho fresh daj-s of silver mining in Colorado, and when Aspen was in her halcyon days, lWore the depression of silver, the mining property involved in the litigation was estimated to be worth from $10,000,000 to $17,000,000.

It is now said to be worth about $10,000,000. HARRISON ONLY NEEDS ASKING. Ho Is a Candidate for President When tho Time Comes. Chicago. April 4.

General J. S. Clark-son, who is here, stated positively today that ex-President Harrison is a candidate for the presidency. "General Harrison," he said, "is not an active candidate, perhaps, but he certainly is a receptive candidate. Indeed he is, I think, on of the most prominent presidential candidates now before the public.

As to who will be the party's choice in 1S95, of course, am unable to say, but it is very certain that General Harrison will accept the nomination if it is tendered to him." "WEREG1L.T EDGED ONCE. Rut the Securitie- Assumed the Dinglness of the Alt-Prevailing Mud. Omaha, April 4. A special to the Bee from Ravenna, says: The First Xational bank of Ravenna, the heaviest banking nistitution of this city, and always considered one of the soundest in the county, closed its doors by order of the board of directors. The bank's insolvency is the natural result of the times.

Business depression in all lines, due to the drouth of last year and inability to realize upon assets that tinder normal conditions would be considered gilt edged, has made it necessary for the bank to suspend business, not beins: able to maintain the reserve required by the national banking laws. The assets of the bank exceed the liabilities almost three to one. ADVANCE IN MEAT PRICES. Kansas City Butcher Jay it" Because Lire Cattle are Higher. Kansas City, April 4.

During the last six weeks th price of beef In this city has Increased so rapidly and so constantly that the butchers, to say nothing of their patrons, are complaining. The butchers say it is not their fault nor the fault of the packers, but that the whole difficulty is due to the increase in the price of live cattle. In the time quoted prices have increased 30 to 35 per cent. AJtOUT TO DO JsOMETIUNG. Western Lines Will Try Ajraln for Tas-socRcr AMOciaUoa.

Chicago, April 4. The western lines are about to make another effort to put their passenger association into effect. Rates in come portions of th association's territory are becoming demoralized and it. is m-cessary to have the association in working order. It is possible thai if the western lines do not get together in a short time the trans-contInairaI liwes may call a meeting to consider the advisability forming an association of their own.

which shall be entirely independent of the western lines. It is likely that a metelng of the western lines will be called sometime next week. There is much dissatisfaction expressed over the condition of pasenger rates between Chicago and the Mississippi river. Much demoralization is said to exist at Kansas City and there is bitter feeling all around among the lines interested. It is predicted freely that if the wesfcrn lins do not form their association and the transcontinental lines form theirs, that an open war in rates between the Missouri river and Chicago will result.

A meeting of the division committee of the emigrant clearing house of the western lines was held today and arguments were made by different roads on the subject of a proposed re-division of the emigrant business. A new-division has become necessary on account of the opening of the Billings route, and one of two other changes which have been made. Xo action was taken today, tlieo rators consuming the entire day. WORTH A DOZEN DEAD MEN. Report of the Death of Ex-Governor Marshall of Minnesota Denied.

POLITENESS OF THE MEXICANS. Aa EEinect' Experience With It After a Session With Tequila. "For manifesting a grave and imper turbable courtesy in every circumstance of life give mo the Mexican people," said a civil engineor who lived in the southwest "Hero is a ense in point. A dozen years ngo I was visiting Ifermosillo, tbo capital of Sonora, and falling in with an old en gineoring comrade one afternoon we drank not a little tequila.

Tequila, or mescal, perhaps you know, is a clear white liquor distilled from tho century plant and possessing much of tiie taste and potency of Irish whisky. There was a circus in town, and in tho evening Johnson and I went up the street to sea it. The performance did not greatly interest us, and we loft the show before it was half through and started down the street on our way to tho hoteL Tho tequila we had drunk was still animating us and inspiring aspirit of adventure. As we cameopposito the great house of Dr. Montevcrdo, one of tho grandees of Sonoro, wo saw perched on a stono post at tho ontranco of tho courtyard a white turkey, and here we stopped and fell to guessing at the weight of the bird.

"At last, to Fettle ourdifferencoof opinion, wo started in to catch the turkey. It ran into tho courtyard, and we followed. Upon tho veranda at ono side of the court- fard the household were sitting enjoying ho evening coolness. At our unceremonious advent they raised not a word of protest, buc only laughed as the turkey ran wildly around, with Johnson and mo in pursuit. After a long chaso wo caughfc the bird, and approaching the group on tho veranda tried to inform them that Wo should liko a pair of scales to weigh ic with.

Neither Johnson nor I hud an idea what tho Spanish word for scdes was, and so wo indicated tho best wo could by signs what wo wanted. They showed much interest in tho endeavor to catch our meaning, and at lasG wo made ourselves understood.

The seranc departed, and presently canio hack with a pair of scalr, which wore placed at our disposal. Wo weighed tho turkey, set tho bird nt liborty, returned tho scales with thanks, and declining tho courteous invitation of tho hospitablo hidulgo that wn should Eit down and havo a glasrof wino wo lifted our hats and went on onr.way.

Other towns have boosted of horsea that chew tobacco, chow gum and drink beer, but Jacob's horso will cat pic.

Tho horse is 23 years old. Jacob's pies come from Xew Haven, pitched in cases, and in transportation omc of them generally get broken and cannot be sold. Ono day Jacobs threw a broken plu on the ground near the horso's head. Tho animal smoll-ed of It, touched it with his tonguo, lapped it up and ato it with a relish. Then Jacobs began to feed pies to tho horse.

Tho hoisosoon got to like them nnd would even refuso oats whrn pie was to bo had. Tho habit has grown on him until now, when Jacobs says pic" to him, tho horso will turn his head and wink expectantly. Ho has a decided preferenco for mince pie, and the moro raisins and currants and cidor there are tho better ho is pleased. Applo pic is not a great favoritowith him. Most bakers put grated nntmeg into the applo pic, and this doesn't seem to agrco with the equina taste.

Pumpkin pio ho likes, and cranberry tarts nro an especial delight. Peach, apricot, berry and prune pics are acceptable, but unless tho prunes aro stoned ho will not touch prune pieaft-er tho first bite. The horso is fat, slick nnd youthful in his movemonts, and Jacobs expects to keep him on the pie cart until he is long past tho ago whon most hocs aro turned out to grass for the rest of their days or aro carted to the horso cemetery hy tho bide of tho murky waters of tho Xaugatuck river.

Liko Will Sugar the Asperities of the Family Talks of II Son as If lie Were but a Ilarnra-Scarum Urchin and the rapers Print It Gus IVon't Stand It, and Says So. San Francisco.

April 4. The row in the Spreckels family has reached a somewhat sensational stage. Young "Gus" Spreckles filed a complaint in the superior court today charging his father with slander. The charge grows out of the suits recently begun by the two younger Spreckles brothers against their father and their two older brothers to recover valuable stock in the Spreckles Hawaiian sugar business and the Oceanic Steamship company. The suit involving the Oceanic Steamship company was recently brought by Gus Spreckles, who instituted mandamus proceedings to compel the directors of the company to call an annual meeting.

He alleged that by refusing to do so they were keeping him out of representation on the board of directors. After this suit had been tiled, Claus Spreckles, in a. newspaper Interview, said some very rough things about his younger sons. He practically charged Gus with the embezzlement of in 1S91. while managing the Spreckles sugar refinery in Philadelphia.

The father also charged that the suit against the Oceanic Steamship company was simply piece of black-mall" by which the younger brothers were trying to beat him out of The father further alleged that Gus had wasted his money, would soon be a bankrupt and "would probably die in the gutter." As a result of all this alleged defamation, young Spreckles claims that his reputation and prospects have been damaged many thousands of dollars. In his complaint he recites that he has actually been damaged to the extent of $2,000,000. but that it is not money he wants. He therefore sues for but $300 damages, a nominal sum, as his desire is to clear himself of the charges which his father has to publicly made against him. HALF TONE ENGRAVINGS.

How the Illustrations of the Magazine nd Papers Aro Pictures for tho illustration of magazines nnd Eomo newspapers aro now made direct from photographs. A glass screen with diamond scratched lines ruled at right auglcs so closely together that the Epaccs can hardly be placed one-eighth cf on inch in front ol tho sensitive plate in tho photographic camera.

Thll products a negative of tho picture, showing the iinj cross lines represented bj clear glass.

Xow, in order to havo the same position of tho object of tho engraving as in tho original, the film of tho negative is treated to ono or two coats of collodion, which gives it a sufficient consistency tc permit of its being removed. This film ij transposed to tho opposito sido of anothet glass. After careful mounting this new negative Is ready to bo used as a medium for printing on tho zlno plate. Tho face of tho plate is buffed to the highest degreo of polish, then coated with a solution of albumen an gelatin, then Eensitizcd with bichromato of ammonia. It is thon dried and placed in tho printing frame, the coated sldo nexc to tho ncga-tivo film.

The caso is then exposed to th sun or light threo to ilvo minutes or to an electric light for 15 to 'JO minutes. Th light passes through tho heavy inch thick glash of tho printing frame, then through the negative, stiiking the fcn5tlzcd plat and decomposing the chemicaU wherover It may fall.
