ThO ftttty Uttla town of Englewoo_f It- X, is
widom dtattrbed, bnt yesterday mornlnf itsjpoop*
\r7rt aurprlaed to learn that Wllllam T. Tanna
bill a promlaent cltiren of tbe town .Md ?
member of the Ootton Exchange in thls <**/, had
ooar-utted suiolde at hia beautiful home in *a_ll
ton-ave. ,, L .
On Wcdnesday Mr. TannahiU left hlt oflee ln
tbe Cotton Exchange Bulldlng, being. so ?tras
can J* aaoertained, under no flnnacial 0W_>*M4
and we? V> his hotne. wbere. aftei' opendtajfttte
evenlng with his eister-in-law and her to^ta
whom he WOS greatly atucbed. he went to fci.
bedroom. lockaj the door a little whife afterwatd,
and shot hlinsebr fatally in tbe head with ? re
On that mornln* Mr. Tannahlll came to tbe
City ot usual, and aa'ae waa a rather taeiturn and
rererved man, no, one aottoed anythlng unuanal
ln his manner, and to -il nppearance he wa* in his
tiual splrits. At his oflice he transacted his
buslness aa if entertaining tlie idea that be would
I* thert on the morrow, and db one would have
cipected for a moment that any thought of sui
clde ** -n **'* mind- n* returned home at his
mual huur, and during tbeevening. wlueh he speut
mxii his brotber's family, who lived with him
ajxi ot whose interesU and welfare be had been the
guardian ever since his brotber's death, he spoke
hopefully of his physical condition, for, though
able to attend to his busineas on the Exchange, ho
had nevei*__*_?a for a couple of yeara been in a
dechnlng state of health. whieh tended to make
him gloatny and downhearted.
He sald that ba would be well enough to go
to the city the next day, and so sat up rather
later than usual. and Mrs. Robert Tannahlll, his
risu-r-in-law, flnding him wakeful, spent some time
in his room and left him at ifteen minutea to
?11 o'clock. Mr. Tannahill then undrrssed, and
carefully locked his bedroom door, after whieh
he took hia revolver and sent a builet orashing
Into his temple.
Tl*-report of the revolver roused the lamily,
a__t_nce was sumuioned, andtbe door was forced
?pen. Tbe sulclde was found lying on the floor
ln an unco_6cious state. Dr. EL M. llanks, a
itsident physirian, was called iii, and he did every
ihing in his poxver to restore tmt wounded man
to oonaclousness. It was of no use, however;
death waa inevitable, and thounh somewhat pro
traoted, xvas not paiuful. as Mr. Tannahill was
in a somi-conscious state throutjhout until the
end came, shortly after 12 o'clock.
There aeenis to be no appareut cause for the
act. Financially, it ia said, on the Cotton Ex?
change. tlie dead man vns comfortably flxed, and
had been involved in no adverse speculation in the
market. Many of his busim-ss associates were
aeou yesterday, and were utterly at a losa to think
of any motix-e fur the deed in tlie line of business.
Some of his more intimate acquaintances, how?
ever, say that lie was a man of melancholy dis
pooition, and had never got over the death of
his older brother. Robert, to whom he waa frreatly
attached. He fonnd tl.e bare nceesaity of a_aocia
tion with stranirers diMasteful to him, and ho
disliked his busint-ss on that acoount, aud while
hia brother lived used to allow him to do the

attend to the d-etaila of tbOr ojfciwOaM,.
The day on whieh the fatal shot was flred wa*
his fortN-seventh birthduy, a fact that, no doubt
prouipted retrobpection and tended to sadness
Fl_ mind xx'as fatigued by the day s work, aml
hte aystein was Uebllitated b.v long _lness. The
fall wlnds had ahnken the lestvea from the trees
about tl.e house, ieaving them Uare and drear.v.
and these Hemeiita ol glooni -fm to11"?v?.ove.r*
Mvrered his better reason aud impelled him to
Mt iu, end to hia lilc. A i.ephew of the dead
man. Robert M Tannahill. was ln business wlth
hta antl ?>?' says Le can aeeoUBt for his uncle s
?ieat'h in r.o other xxuy than that it reiulted
from mental aberration. nrntiu.-ed by fwble health.
Mr. Tannahill wu* 8 Southerner. born ln Edge

For rt long tlme his business proapered also, hut

T&E FRENCH TARIFF BILL
MINISTEB ROOHE EXPIAINIIfO ITS PRO*
VISIOI-S.
OBJECT \QW THE M AXIML'M AND MINI _UM
8TS_EM-SPBQIAL PRIVILEGE8 MUST
BB RBCIPBOOAL.
Paria, Oct. 30.-M. Rocbe, Minister of Cem
merce, explalned thc new Tariff bill to the Tariff
Committee to-day. The object of the maxlmum
ond mluiaum system, hp said, was to avoid ln
oonvenleniee 'oonneefed wlth the most-favored-nn
tion claiuB ln any treaty with a foreign power.
The Oovehiment might make a bad bargain in
fixanting kenefito in anch a clause to a nation
yieldlng b_t Blight advaatages to Franoe. But
under th?' preftent bill any country gttting
minimum tariff privileges must grant oonsiderable
redaptlenB in cxisting duties besides placing
Franoe in a. favorable u position as any other
nattan. Th-t Government reserved the right to
dectle whether the minimum #UMff privilegea
Bhoald be granted for a flxed period or for an un
limited period.
The new commerclal policy proposed to tlie TarifT
Committee ot the French Chambera by M. Juloa
Roche, Btnlater of Coniinerce. almoat aoiounts to the
eontlnuatton of the present sy.cm Jn France. The
ttagle dlfferenoe, a6 nearly M ran be Judged by the Rhort
table alspatch, would Uc lu tiie ubwilute abrogation of
Ihe ''most-favorednati'i.i" rlnusc, whlch cannot be
tpplled nnder the reglme ef a general tariff, maxlmum
?r minimum, or both. Rut the whole system of com?
merclal trcatle-s alil coutinue to prevail, though tho
French G_rernment had rnused to be declared ln a
senil-oftlelal communlcatlon to the newspapers on
September 2. last that It was opposed to tho renewal
of the treaties now exl*tlni. with forelgn powcrs, nnd
whleh exptre in Fcbmary, 1S02. That system of
treatlc* haa been condenined by'sixty-two Chamben
of Commeree agaln*t thlrty flve ln their favor. Now
wh.ea.Yer there are two tariffs lnscribod In a rustoma
law tbe maxlmum one Is the rule and the minimum
the exception. As sald by M. Roche hlmsclf, any
"country gettlng minimum tarifT privllcgnw must grant
contlderable reduction in cxisting duties." That can?
not be done without nffottations and without a con?
vention of some kind belng slgned, the whole of
whlch amount-, to a real treaty of commeree. ln-teml
of tbat policy the majority of the Chambera of Com?
meree ln France, as well as the Buperlor Council of
Commeree, have expre-weal the opinion that no treaties
should be again slpned with an annexed tariff. They
do not want u maxlmum tariff whlch can be lower.-d at
any moment hy a mere siroke of the pen, thus Intro
duclng ln Industry and commeree an element of un
eertalnty and uneaslness. They prefer. lt appears.
a minimum tariff only. below whlch lt wonld not be
f>osslble to Ret, but whlch could be lncreased for na
lons not glving to France the privileges of their most
advantagcou* rates of tarlT.

THE SUGAR TRUST FIGHT.
A SAVAGE ATTACK ON THE MANAGEMENT
OF THE TBUSTEES.
THB riiAK OP REOROANIZATION AND A FIKAB
OIAL BTATBliENT MADE PUBIJC-CBITI
CI9M3 IN WALL STREET.
An lmportant argnment upon mattcrs relatlng
to the Sugar Trust, especlally in regard to the
Injunctlon whioh prevents the reorganiiatlon, and
the appllcation for a recelver. was heard by Judge
Pratt yesterday in the Supreme Court in Brooklyn.
He reserved declsion, but made an order modifying
the temporary injunetion bo far aa to perniit tlie
publication of the plan of reorganiiation, and the
QBBets and liabUltles of the Sugar Reflneries Com?
pany.
Affldavits and argumenta were prescnted for
live hours. The Truat wa* represented by John E.
Parsotia, Ellhu Root and Edward M. Shepard.
W. if. JohnBoo appeared fof Naah, Spaulding ?fc
Co., whleh flrm was represented by Henry B.
Reid, and Jolin L. Hlll appeared for Duncan
Cameron, who seoured the preliminary injunetion.
John B. Glenson, who eeeka to be a defendant in
the proccdings of the trustees to wind
up the Trust, appeared in his own be
half. Theodoro, A. Havcmeyer, presidcnt of
the Sugnr Reflneries Ctwnpnny, and John E.
Senrles, jr., sccrctary and treasurcr, were tlie most
ii tc csted spectatuiS. Mr. Cameron did not ap?
pear, notwitlistanding tlie strongly expressed de?
sire nf the counsel tor the Trust to see him. <
.Mr. Reid's aflidavit waa prcteutcd, whioh
showed that. Nash, Spaulding <fc Co., who were
named in tlie pruceedings as co-defendants, were
iu no way connccted with tlie Sugar Trust, and
were a rival flrm with their own refinery, al
tho.igh holding 11,000 shares of the ccrtiiieatcs
of the Trust.
An elAborate aflidavit waa presented from Mr.
Scarles, in which he ciri-umatantially denic 1 tlie
allcgations made hy llr. Cameroa in the npplica
tion for tlie preliminary injunetion on October 14.
He deelared that thc trustces ha<l been actnatcd
hy a desire to further tlie best intcrests of thc
certifioate-holders, and that tlie action of Cameron
had depreeiated the market value and had onerated
ngainst tbc interests of the certiflcat*-hwlders.
Hc denied thnt ln pa_sing the Ootober dividend
the tnistees used their personal knowledge ngainst
the certlflcate holders. The tnistees had aetcd
promptly upon thc dVe.iSion of the Court of Ap
peals, which. they had done all ln their power to
hastcn, and as eoon as lt wm announeed a plan Bf
reorganization was set on foot, and it was rea.ly
to be made public with a statement of asaets an.l
liabilities. In vicw of this plan it was decided to
pass the October dividenu, because there w.is
doubt whether it could be legally declnred, and
thc declsion waa announeed the day it waa made.
It was also denied that thc trusfecs held any raw
sugar.
Mr. Hill asked if thc papers in thc case showed
how the paasing of thc Oetolier dividend was
made public. Whcn told that they did not, Mr.
Hlll ofTercd to waivc the clause in thc injune?
tion wliich prevenfed tlie making public of thc
plan of reorganization, provided it was donc in
open court. This was not agroed to, and the
arguments were heard.
Elihu Root argued againBt the appointment of a
ree_rivcr. oo this would Injuriously affect the inter
est__ involvcd. There was no need of it. The
tnistees could go ahead and carry out thc plan
of reorganization.
".How can they go on without a decree?" asked
.tu-H* l__tt.
Mr. Root Baid that they could not: but he snid
tliat no one could manngc thc business bettrr
than Mr. nnv.-ue.vcr, Mr. Mathcson, or Mr.
Scar.es, and they wcrc the roniniittee re present ing
tlie ccrtitk-ate-hoMers.
John 11. (ilenson, who nsks to lie ma.le a <\c
fendatlt in thc friendly proccc dinsrs be^iiti hy thc
truste _ to wind np thc Trust, nreuc.l his side of
thc case, nnd wantcd thc eertifien'e-holdcrs repre?
sented in the plan of reorganization.
John L, Hlll arif'icd for thc continunnec of
the injiu.r.tion seeurcd hy Mr. Cameron and tlie
appointment ? nttirtt. Ho denonneed tlu
tnistees of tbe . .ist in scorching terms. and snid
thnt although they professed that their con
scienccs would not perniit tl cm tn eontinite to
manage tlie Trust in July. in October tliey wcrc
tryinK to reorganlze lt. Hc thonght it nqnired
cxplanation tliat tlierc was $30,000,000 worth of
property, and it had nev.r l_en list-d on tIio
Stork Exchange. A rcrvi vrr should l_c appolnted,
because tlierc wns no tit'p in the property. In
all ei|iiity nnd jjood conscienee it l-clnngcd to tlie
cortiflrate-holders. In conclusion Mr. Hill snid that
there had never been such a scandal as the Siiirar
Trust stiffeivd Ib exist to becjiiile fhe public in his
experience of flfty years. lf B rc_._lver was not
nppoir.tc.l thcrc wn? no assurinrc that the ocr
tilicate-holdcrs would lie satisficd that justice
would bc done. In vicw of thc eonflieting state
incnts a rcferce ought to bc appoiutcd to get at
tbe facts.
W. II. Johnson denied any collnsion betwcen
Nash, Spaulding ?t Co. and tlie Trust. His clicnts
licld $1,000,000 worth of tlie certifientcs
nnd Duncan Cameron only held (300,000.
This litigation waa sinipJy to vcx nnd
annoy property of a pnr value of $.',?>, ,00,0(io
and actual value of $33,000,000. No one of
the 1,000 eertifleatea-bolden bad joincd with Mr.
Cameron, an.l all the others were satislied. Hi;
proi*<*edin^s bad causcd a loss of $100,000 in
valu.s, and ticd up millions of doHars1 worth of
property in the i.!itcrest? of stock-johbers, thiiuiil,'
riKners and threc-eard-monte men. His c.lienis
wai.tcd to go on with thc reorganization to suit
theniwlves.
John E. Parsons asked for immedialc action la
view of tlio u_aj*nitude of Uie luteret-U invo.veil.
There waa no ullegution as?ainst ilie trust. es
tbat wns not denie.l. He asked that tlie injune?
tion be dissolveil and the BpplkalloB for a re
eeiver iK* ilenied.
Mr. Hill argtu'd Ib reply, o*nd seeurcd from the
oppositig counsel a demal of the bt.itei.ient that
.\lr. Heid was a trustee of tlie new company to
lie lormcd to take up the work of the Irust.
Bv Qgreement Judge Pratt then modihed the in?
junetion so as to pennit of the publication of the
reorganization plan aud the a_sseta aud linbuitns.
nnd reserved hi* docision on the motions before
him in rcgard to the injuiiction and iccciver.
The llnancial statement and plan of reorgiini/.i
tion. whlch tlie Court penuittcd to be made publlc,
were not pubLmhed in Wall Istrect until the clot*.
of busitiess. Tlie stock opened hi.u ut

Tbe action of the committee at thia time when
the Tammany Hall papers are dlsplaylng dally
in big black headlines the announoement that tha
Republicans of thia city would not support tha
union ticket will probably put a stop to that
sort of thing. Another trick which the Tammany
papers have been play ing Iately, and whioh ln
one instance will probably ceaae from now out, ia
the publication of the expressions of Kepublioans
who favored a siiaight ticket, made before tha
Republlcan County Convention indorsed the union
ticket, aa having been made reoently. One paper
haa taken a paragraph from an interview with
Corneliua N. Blisa, given some time ago, and,
putting his name under it, publisbed lt
aa his preaent views. Mr. Blise ia ln
favor of the Anti-Tammany ticket, and like the
rest or__ie Republicans of this city will vote and
work for it. In the following letter, wliich he
scnt yesterday to Wheeler II. Feckham. ohair
man of the People's Municipal League, Mr. Bliss
explains his position clearly:
