DEATH -OF GEO. ENGELHARDT. George Engelhardt died at hie re sidence Queen street, near Richard street, at 11:40 o'clock this morn ing from an overdose of laudanum. Doctors Minor and Ilaedicke worked vigorously to save the life of Air. Eiigelhurdt, but the effects of tho deadly drug had advanced too far when the doctors arrived, and all attempts at resuscitation were futile. Geo. Engelhaidt was clerk at the Hawaiian Hotel for Mr. Allen Her bert in 1878. Afterwards ho went to Kauai as book-keeper for Mr. Spalding, and remained there for two years. Then ho worked for Mr. Sam Nott and on the latter's leav ing the country, Mr. Engelhardt succeeded lnm in tho business and conducted tho same to the time of his death. Tho deceased was pro bably about 40 years of ago. IIo came from Cassel, Germany, and was of good family. Previous to coming here ho had resided in Queensland, Victoria, where ho held Queon Victoria's commission as a Justice (if the Peace. IIo was well liked by all who know liim and his death is a sad blow to many. The remains were interred iu Nun ami Cemetery this afternoon. DIPLOMATIC CHANGES. Jy decreo, dated 28th Deccmbor, 1887, of tho President of llio French Republic, M. Leon Iicllnquct, Vico Consul at Newport, England, lias been appointed Chancellor of tho French Legation in Honolulu, in place of M. G. Hoiilieoli, who has been previously appointed to Malta. Tho new French Chancellor is ex pected to arrivn by the next steamer, and Mr. aud Mrs. Houliecli will de part for Europe, in llio Mariposa, on tho 10th of March next. This gentleman, who leaves many sincere friends hero, will bis accompanied by tho bost wishes of al thnsu w)io have hud the good foitunc of gcU tiug acquainted with him, THE SWRWAR! . i. i . . ..... Its Present State I The Prospect ! I was premature in saying in my last jottings that Mr. 13. L. G. Steele had left the Coast for Ger many, in connection with the Sugar Ueot business. lie turned up at tho luto meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, at which "sugar" was discussed ; but his friends say, and they should know, that the enter prising Steele, is of a truth, going to Germany, not to study tho manu facture of beet sugar, but to tell the Germans how they ought to make it. When he returns he will pro bably llnd Hawaiian capital to back him in an effort to duplicate Colo nel Sprockets' beet factories; and his backers will probably also lose their money. Who knows? This is a wicked commercial world, and E. L. G. Steele is one of its reformers. But Mr. Steele is no longer Picsi dent of the American Sugar Iiciln ery. Mr. Welch, until recently trcasutcr of that organization, is now its president, and Mr. Steele is on the outside. The new president is well known on the Islnnds, having been identified with its shipping trade for many years, but until re cently he lias had no connection with sugar reliniiig. lie is now on the higli road to knowledge,- and what ho is not likely to learn in the next twelvemonth will not be wotth knowing. President Welch evidently under stands what is before him. There .has been a "little unpleasantness," as you probably may be aware of for some time past, between the American and California refineries, brought about by the attempt of the American people to cripple its pow erful competitor. This was the Steele policy, and President Welch is in command now to cany on the war. His Scotch blood is up, and he means fight. "It is a fight," he said in an interview published by the "Examiner" of tho 8th inst, "between a Dutchman and a Scotch man, and the latter can stand con siderable war. Of course I do not know to what extent tho fight, be tween the two refineries will be car ried on, but Mr. Spieckels is play ing for the keys of the Amciican Sugar liefmcry. lie will not have them, because I think that the pub lic nterest demands that no monop oly iu sugar shall exist. We will not underbid Mr. Spreckels, but we will meet him fairly and squarely on any proposition he moy make." Now, this little speech shows that President Welch is a green hand. He is new to the quarter-deck, and may lose his head and his ship as well if he gets into troubled waters. What on earth have the "public inte rests," as seen thiough his gold rimmed spectacles, to do with the price of sugar? Its production and sale aie conducted for profit, and not with the slightest reference to "public interests." Commercial philanthropy may be a rule of business with President Welch, but if persisted in, the Ame rican Sugar Kelinery will soon be a "burst institution." And indeed the bellicose "son of Old Gaul" seems to have a glimmering percep tion of this, for, despite his "slo gan" of war, he gives tongue over a trilling under-cut in his first encoun ter with his "Dutch" antagonist, us he is pleased to style Colonel Sprec kels; for he says: "'We will meet Mr. Spreckels on every proposition as 16ng as he reduces the price of sugar lie has on hand. He has now quoted tho yellow sugar at 5 and 5 J cents per pound, knowing that wc have a largo quantity iu stock, while ho has not one pound iu his refin ery." Poor Mr. Welch 1 And you met the demand at the California Refinery's quotations. You have yet to learn how benevolent one feels nt reducing a competitor's prices giving the masses cheap su gar while keeping one's own price list up to paying figures. All this has a very serious side fpr tho planters. Their interests aro being played with, that is, of those who have contracted with llio American Sugar Refinery; and tho fact that the3' hold the majority of its stock does not help them. They don't manage it. They don't con trol its business policy ; and if they had had business sense anyhow they never would Jiayc got themselves into their present position. They aro voluntary dupes of their own prejudices and antipathies, and will piobably pay the full penalty before their business folly has run its course. This, however, is not tho point iu ham), it is the status of the sugar question on the Coast aptl iu the United States to-day. It is needless to go into de tails. Sulllco it that tho Eastern Sugar Trust 1ms already taken sev eral million dollars In profits out of tho American people. Tho amount has been stated at 812,000,000, but this seems to he pxcpssiYc. Jt is a vciy large sum however. Tho Trust has reduced tho prico of Cuba cen trifugals Ofi test to fig j the actual value in tho world's market is He. ; and it has raited the price of refined Tho Arcado-EGAN & CO. Have Opened With the FIiicmI IMniilny of (JooiIh ever shomi In thin Klu::lniii. sugar almost to the point at which foreign imports would be profitable. They will stop short of that point, however, and gather all the wool that can bo shorn between it and the averago price in London, San Francisco and other sugar centers, it is reported from New York that President Welch has put the American Refinery into the Sugar Trust for tho purpose of lighting the California Refinery, Col. Sprec kels having firmly but courteously declined, when in New York, to have anything to do with it. I do not believe this report; but if it be true, what a comment upon Mr. Welch's uxprcssed horror of a su gar monopoly, and his tender solici tude for the public interests 1 Be that as it may, however, the point for the planters to consider is this: how long will they be content to sell their sugar on the basis of a fic titious value? Their contract with the American Refinery covers the present year, and as the crop that is now being marketed is the largest perhaps that has over been pro duced on the group, in what posi tion does it leave them? The price they arc to receive for their sugar is fixed by New York rates. But the Sugar Trust, as it is called, in other words the refiner's pool, fixes those rates arbitral ily to suit themselves. There is nothing to prevent them fixing the price for Cuban centrifu gals at 4c. ; and if so, what arc the Hawaiian planters, under contract to the American Sugar Refinery, go ing to do about it? They must accept that price, for it is "so nominated in the bond" a bond which, when perfected, was hailed with acclama tion by a great many otherwise sane people, as a kind of Hawaiian Magna Charta, which would destroy monopoly and make everybody rich, happy and content. But since then they have had a kind of lop-sided "Reform" as an after-clap of their insular Magna Charta; and now have as a collateral the Eastern Su gar Trust, and a possible 4c. price for their sugar, staring them iu the face. For wiich good things they will doubtless return thanks with grateful hearts. ,, The trouble is, that the planters appear to bo perfectly helpless ; and if the American Refinery joins tho Eastern pool it will not mend mat ters, but the reverse. They cannot ship to London, because they must deliver their sugar hero. This Eng lish back-door has been taken ad vantage of in the East, one cargo from Demarara having been sent on to London from New York, while a second cargo was taken out of bond and similarly despatched. Hawaiian planters arc in a cleft stick, how ever, and cannot move. Now, what is the position of tub two Refineries on the Coast? If a war of prices is to be waged, which of them is likely to come out of it on top? Manifestly the Refinery which is best organized ; which has the greatest capacity of production at the lowest ratio of cost; which has the best business management ; buys its raws in the cheapest market; and lias most command of money. Under every head, the California Rofiupry far outranks tho American. It has, moreover, a hold on the trade, in a way and of a kind which the American Refinery cannot pre tend to. It therefore occupies the quoin of vantage. What arc their preparations for a fight? The American Refinery will have 88,000 tons of sugar to dispose of during the year, 8,000 tons of which were bought by Mr. Steele at top prices, without any deduc tion. This supply more than suf fices for the Coast consumption. The California, Sugar Refinery will handle 100,000 tons, including tho Islands sugar which it controls. This quantity would supply the con sumption of California and Oregon, and all tho Territories from Dakota iu the North to New Mexico and Arizona in tho South. This vast supply of sugar must bo soul, ami in ctrecting sales some body will get hurt. Col. Spreckels says he refines sugar to sell, and he intends to supply the market within tho entire territory opoii to him. Mr. Welch says he will match Colonel Spreckel's bids for trade by even prices. That is tho position in a nutshell. It certainly is not a com forting one to stockholders in the American Refinery, because the California Refinery 1ms thp advan tage in the price at which its stock of sugars has been procured. One cargo of over 2,000 tons has arrived from Manila, another is fully due, others aro loading, and altogether about ten ships have been chartered and are either loading or on tho way to Manila to load with sugar for the California Refinery, yet Col. Spreckels is on the look-out for moro ships. This Manila sugar, after paying 2 cents duty, is deliver ed to the Refinery for considerably less money than the American l$e finery pays for its Island supplies, There is this further advantage in favor of tho California, that rclinoij Manila sugar, wlien exported, gels a rebate of the Uity, ho that here is a bonus on exports which cannot bo taken advanlago of by the American Refinery. It must market all ifs stock In tho United States, or ex port without any bonus whatever, And it is also manifest that the Eastern Hugar Trust closes the At lantic States against President Welch, so that shipments around the Horn Heed not bo thought of while tho Trust remains intact. Comment upon this stale of facts is needless. They speak for them selves. I think it may bo fairly as sumed that the Hawaiian planters will lose on their crop this year, by reason of their own policy and com bination over two years ago, between one million and onc-and-a-lialf mil lion dollars. What the stockholders in the American Sugar Refinery will lose iu a struggle to sell its 88,000 tons of high-priced sugar against 100,000 tons of equally good but less costly sugar remains to bo seen Perhaps the stockholders can "stand the racket." Some of the San Francisco papers assume that they can, and speak of an arrangement between one of them Mr. Jones, n "millionaire Hawaiian planter and business man" and tho Havc meyers of New Yoik, to swing the American Refinery and line with tho Sugar Trust anil get away with the Spreckels opposition. f I don't think this report is true cither. The gentleman referred to is far too shrewd to bum his fingers pulling Mr. Ilavemeyers' chestnuts out of the red'hot embers, more especially as the firms composing the Sugar Trust of New York were, and are, the most bitter and reckless oppo nents of the Reciprocity Treaty in America. Hawaiian planters should fight the Trust. Another feature remains to be touched. That is, the tariff and the beet sugar possibilities. Colonel Spreckels is more than sanguine of the success of his beet sugar .pro ject ; so aro farmers and capitalists. Eighteen tons of Silosian sugar beet seed ariived in port two or three days ago for distribution among farmci s, and will be planted this Spring. More seed is on the way. With regard to the tariff, no ono knows what Congress may do, but it is exceedingly probable that a compromise will be reached between the two parties, and that the tariff will be reduced by one cent per gound. Colonel Spreckels is going to Washington in March, and doubt less when he is there he will be con sulted, lie is the largest sugar planter in the world, and being in terested in cane sugar on the Islands, also in establishing the beet sugar industry in the United States, as well as being perhaps the most successful refiner in the country, his opinion on the tariff will doubt less have weight. And here reference should be made to tho late meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, and its ac tion regarding the tariff and sugar bounties. It was engineered by the American Refinery people, Mr. Steele, General Dinioud and others interested ii; that company having run it. They opposed a bounty on beet sugar because it was in the direction of free trade, but were very decided that a protective tariff for the rest of the country and free trade in Hawaiian Sugar for them selves was what they must have to get along deccntty. And they em bodied this illogical proposition in resolutions for the direction of Con gress, and adjourned as full of self sufficiency, and as ridiculous, as the three famous "tailors of Toolcy street," who resolved that "we are the people of England." The Cali fornia Refinery was not represented at this meeting, and when spoken to on the subject of a bounty for beet sugar, Col. Spreckels said ,it was premature to speak about it: what lie wanted now was to establish the beet sugar industry. He was at tending to his own business strictly. This may not bo pleasant reading to many people on the Islands, but as a serious crisis in their affairs is impending, they should know just in what shape it is likely to como. If any body can "got, hi out of the rain" they should do so iu good time. ' T. N. San Francisco, Feb. 9th. BUSINESS ITEMS.
