Chicago, August 24.- The fight
against thojBUgar trust by tbo in-
aopenaeni rennones or mo country
has boon transferred to Chicago,
which will bo the base of oper
ations from now on. James H.
Post, representing tbe Mollenhau
cr Sugar Refining Company and
tho National Sugar Refining Com
pany, boih of New York city,
arrived in Cbioigo this evening
He stated that tbo trust is plan
ning au important move, and it is
this that independent refincriuR
are anxious to meet tbo minute it
is njnde. Mr. Post's companies
are two of tbe most powerful out
side of tbo trust, having a capacity
of ti iOO barrels a day out of k total
of 16,000 barrels, which is tbe
average daily capacity of all the
independent refineries combined.
Tbo coup planned by tbe truBt
ifl outlined as follows: The trust
oxpc-c'o to make au agreomout with
tho National Wholesale Grocers'
Association through the executive
committee, of that organization on
September 1st, by which it will
give to various members of tbo as
sociation, who are to agree to buy
exclusively from it, au extra re.
auction or rebate of one eighth of
n cent per pound, tbia rebate to be
paid through various Btate associ
ations The agreement will also
provi le, as at present designed,
that BaleH shall be made at pricts
named by the trust, from which
the dealeis will deduct three
sixteenths of a cont per pound. If
a bill is paid within ten days an
allowance of 1 per cent for cash
will bo mado.
If this plnu proves satisfactory
tbe trust will give its customers
within sixty days ouo eight of a
cent robate. This would make
sugar sell at a net price of $5 08
in Chicago, which would be the
conter for all transactions with
Middle Western buyers. Tbe
trust wauts to get control of tho
tnark-t through its rebate and
after it gets the market to mani
pulate it to its own advantage.

Wuhington, Aug. 24. The
State Department does not appre
hend that any international com
plications will arise over General
Otis' action in excluding Chinese
from tho Philippines, as this is
said 1 1 be only a temporary mili
tary expedient, leaving the general
qneitiou to be determined by Cou
giees Moreover it scorns that tho ex
clumou comes about through the
ad iptiou of the military regula
lions following tbe line of Uuitod
BMes laws and not by tbe detail
cd enforcement of the United
States statutes relating to Chinese
exclusion. While tbe same end
is attained, yet the distinction id

Minister of Finance S. M.
Damon leaves in the Rio de Jane
iro for Italy Monday. This do
oision was reached at a special
meeting of the ExecutivoOouncil
this forenoon. v
This mission of Minister Damon
to Italy has boen on tbo tapis for
several weeks but only reoently
did tho matter became publio pro
perty. Since that time Mr. Damon
has worked harder than ever on
the proposition and has finally
brought it to a successful culmi
nation. At the Cabinot meeting this
forenoon tbe proposition was very
thoroughly discussed and it was
finally decided to recommend to
the Hoard of Immigration that
Mr. Damon be commissioned to
represent the Board in the matter
of securing Italian labor and in
attending to other business in
connection with this.
Tho recommendation having
h'on settled, tbe Cabinet took up
the form of contract o bo pre
sented to the Italian government.
In connection wi'h this matter
President Dolo said to a Bulletin
repurtor:
What They Have Been Doing While
Away From Hawaii.
connection with tbo modified con
tract is given out there might be
a stumbling block placed in his
path.''
Action was taken at tbo meeting
authorizing thV expenditure of the
appropriation-mnao tor mo pro
motion of immigration other than
Asiatic, or what remains of it, to
assist iu tho immigration of
families of contract laborers. This
contract labor scheme is tbo first
proposition upon which Mr. Da
mon will work.
Should this fail, Mr. Damon
will then seek to securo froo lab
orers with their families to an ox
tent within the limit of the ap
propriation already mentioned,
tho planters, of course, guarantee
ing to employ tho Italians upon
thoir arrival iu the Islands.
Asked as (o Mr. Damon's ex
penses to Itajy and return, Pre
sident Dolo says: "The plautors
will settle that."
In rosponse to n question asked
him hi' a l.flllntln rnnnrlnr tliia
.aft'-rnoon Mr. Damon said:
"1 will resume my dutioa as

''I cannot give out just now the or threo months and duriug that
exact form ot too o mtraot ap
proved by the Cabinet at tli
se-sion this forenoon as it might
balk Mr. Damou's plans. I cau
nay, however, that it is a modifica
tion of the regular contract, such
modification heinc due to require-
meu s or guarantees insisted on
by the Italian government and
not customary here. Mr. Damon
will attempt to get the' very beBt
terms ho cau and if anything in
time, circumstances may be such
as to make my resignation neces
sary. I have therefore loft my
leHiynation iu the hinds of Presi
dent Dole to bo acted on should
occasion demand."
It wbb learned from Mr. Dole
that ono of the other ministers
will take Mr. Damon'o placo dur
l!KJthut, latter'u absence. The
choice will probably fall on
