American Sugar Company
V Claims to Have Been
Badly Bunkoed.
Water Rate's Reduced Upon Pay
ment of Taxes Again Raised
to the Old Figure.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.— Some appre
hension is felt in Jersey City over the
threat of the American Sugar Refining
Company to move its plant from Jersey
City if the city does not reduce the price
of water to the company. As such a
course would throw 1100 residents of the
city out of employment, some of .the
more timid of the city officials view with
alarm the present condition of the con
troversy between the city and company.
The troub'e has grown out of the action
of the street and water board, which
passed a resolution reducing the com
pany's water rate upon condition that the
company pay the city a large sum of dis
puted back taxes. The company paid
$18,000 on account of these disputed taxes
and then the board passed a resolu
tion rescinding the former resolution, but
making no provision for the return of the
$18,000. The rescinding resolution was
siened by the Mayor on Saturday.
The company contends that it has been
"bunkoed" out of "SIB,OOO. On behalf of
the city it is contended the company owed
that amount to the city and has only paid
its j;;«t debt. This does not satisfy the
I sugar-house people and they declared
to-day that they would '■hut down and re
move their plant ou; of the city unless the
cuy kept its contract and furnished it with

An Important Offer In the
Negotiations to Preserve

Contract of the North American
Commercial Company Might

Special Dispatch to The Calu
Call Office, Htggs Hor?r.,l
Washington, Nov. 2_'. [
One of the most important feature- of
the Bering Sea negotiations not heretofore
disclosed is that in the event that Great
Britain and Canada consent to a su«pen
s on of pelagic sealing for one year the
United States, at the same time, will agree
to a suspension of ali killing of seals for
one year on the Prybyluff Islands, consti
, uting the American seal pos-essiona in
Bering Sea. As the isianls are a part of
United States territory no question has
ever arisen as to the right of the United
States to do as it chooses to the seals
while on land and within three miles ot
the shore, the three miles being a part of
the islands, according to international
law.
During the recent negotiations the Can
adians took the ground that if any sus
pension was to occur it will be inequable
to ass them to suspend sealing in the
out^r waters, while at the same time the
United States persisted in sealing in the
inner waters and on land. Trie contention
of the United States was primarily for the
suspension of pelagic sealing, but under
the exigency of the case it was felt that if
a suspension of pelagic sealing could be
secured it would be reasonable to concede
a similar suspension within ourown terri
tory.
The proposition follows the recommen
dation of the Paris court of arbitration,
which suggested a temporary suspension
of sealing on land and sea.
This brings up the question of the leas"
of the North American Commercial Com
p.my giving it the exclusive right to the
seals on the Pribyioff Islands. The lease
wa< made in 1890. for a term of twenty
years. Under this lease the company has
taken about 6000 seals annually on the
islands. The lea-e stipulated that not
more than 60,000 should betaken in 18&1,
and also provided that no more seals
should be kiiled annually than was au
thorizeo by the Secretary of the Treasury.
As the catch has been far short of the ex
pected 60.000 a question has arisen as to
the obligation ol the company to have its
rental reduced pro rata.
Attorney-General Miller gave an opin
ion in favor of the reduction. Secretary
Olney, when Attorney-Citneral, gave an
opinion aeainst it. ]'>y mutual consent a
test case was made up and is now pending
in the United States Supreme Court. The
lease provides a re n tal of $60,000 a year,
als > $7 6_'i^ for each sealskin tak(!n and
shipped lrom the island, and certain tax
payments and accommodations for the
natives;.
In the event of an agreement between
the United States, Great Britain and Can
ad a, the rights of ihe company to take
seali neces-arily would' terminate for a
year. It is said the right of eminent do
main gives the Government authority lor
vacating th- lease for this period without
delvrcnce to the v.isbssof the company.
But aside from this. :t is undersU <,d that
ihe company would not stand on any
technical rights, but would regard ttie
concessions granted by Canada of such
great advantage in the preservation of tue

LONDON, Nov. 22.— A well-informed cor
respondent at Cabul, capital of Afghanis
tan, writing from tiiat city under date of
September 20 last, gives an account of an
interview which he had with the Ameer
of Afghanistan in Adurbar, in which the
Ameer, referring to the rising of the
tribes, said:
"I cannot imagine how any one can
thi;<k me responsible ior the actions of
the Haldah Mullah, who instituted the
[roubles, for it was he who raised the re
volt of the Shinwarriea and other tribes
against me shortly after my accession. I
inquired into i.is antecedents and failed
to discover his tribe, caste or birthplace.
I only know he professes Mohammedan
ism and has great influence among the
Mu-">uirnaii3 of the border tribas.
"When my Governor at Jellabad re
cently stopped the Haddah Mullah's fol
lowers from leaving Afghanistan they siid
I they had a right to light the English,
! for their leaders had told them I had
I fciTea them permission to do so. My
Governor thereupon arrestpd several of
the leader s who were carrying green Je
had (holy war) flags. He sent them to
Cabul, where they are now in prison, and
I know how to deal witn them."
One of the officials of the Durbar, the
lafer adds, remarked; "Indeed these
men are rascals."
"Rascals, 1 ' cried the Ameer. "They are
the worst scoundrels 1 ever have known,
ior they have not hesitated to lu-e my
name to try to bring discredit upon me. I
have much to do in ruling, teaching and
civilizing my people, wittiout being

Blanco's Minions Are Trying to

Special Dispatch to The Cam.
NEW YORK. Nov. 22.— A special to the
Herald from Washington says: One of
the most important topics which has been
considered Dy the Cabinet this week is
the reply of the administration to Senor
Sagasta's note in rep!y to Minister Wood
ford.
This reply, which will be transmitted
through Minister Woodford, will prob
ably b* finished by the latter part of next
week. In Senor Sagaata's note much
stress is laid uj on the alleged assistance
that Cuban insurgents have received by
means of filibustering expeditions from
the United States, and it is intimated,
rather than clearly stated, that the Span
ish Government does not consider that
lie United States has exercised due dili
gence to prevent the departure of such
expeditions.
This is the feature of the Spanish note
to which most of the reply wiii be di
rected. The State Department is confi
dent that it wiil be able to make an an
swer to the Spanish note which will en
tireiy clear this Government of any viola
tion of international law.
It vail be shown that eyory means ha*
been taken to detect and prevent the de
parture of expeditions at enormous cost
for the maintenance of the patrol along
the coast and the employment of special
treasury agents on land, and that every
complaint from the Spanish authorities
as to alleged expeditions has been thor
oughly investigated.
It is well known tnat the Spanish Gov
ernment has had a large fleetof naval ves
sels and of «mall craft of every description
engaged in patrolling the Cuban coast and
all the little bays and harbors. This Span
ish patrol has been of very little use in
Dreventine tho landing of filibustering
parties, and the administration is in a
position to point out that if the Spanish
patrol of tha Cuban coast had been as
effective as the patrol which tiad been
maintained by naval vessels and revenue
cutters on the Atlantic and gulf coasts of
tne United States there -would probably
• avo been very lew lilibustering expe
ditions lauded.
FIGHTING IS USELESS.
So the Spanish Officials Are Trying
to Induce Insurgents to Give
Up Through Bribery.
HAVANA, CUBA, (via Key West, Fla.,)
Nov. 22. — General Patido started from this
city by train last Saturday, according to
the official announcement, to take charge
of the campaign against the insurgents.
He was accompanied by his full staff and
was escorted by a company of artillery.
But it is slated on good authority that
General Pando has been commissioned by
General Blanco, the Captain-General, to
enter into communication with the insur
gent leaders with a view of arranging for
peace.
General Pando, 9 Her a consultation
witli the Captain-General, first secured
the release from confinement of Damien
Caballero, who has been imprisoned on
the Isle of Pines for some time past for
acting as a spy for the insurgents, it is al
leged, and bringing about a disaster for
the Spanish troops at Cacoa, province of
Santiago de Cuba.
General Pando furnished Caballero,
who is the poJ father of Rabi, looked upon
as being the backbone of the insurgent
movement in the province of Santiago de
Cuba, with a considerable sum of money
and caused him to be landed at Manza
nillo, province oi Santiago de Cuba,
where a good iiorse was placed at his dis
posal.
General Pando's peace emissary was
al»o furnished official documents jmpow
ering him to act in behalf of the Spanish
commander, and from Manzanillo Ca
ballero made his way secretly to the
Jiguani hills, where General Rabi has his
headquarters. General Pando instructed
Caballero to offer General Rabi a high
rank in the Spanish army and a
large sum of money to be dis
tributed among the other insurgent
leaders of that part of Cuba and,
in addition, a large amount of money for
himself, in the event of hia succeeding in
arianging terms of peace. Besides this
Caballero was instructed to inform the in
surgent loaders that the Spanish authori
ties" would undertake honestly toestablish
the new autonomist regime if the leaders
of the insurgents would accept the propo
sitions made to them.
Although Cabaliero has not returned
from Santiago de Cuba, confidential ad
vices which have reached the Spanish offi
cials here seem to indicate that he has so
far been unsuccessful. It is understood
General Rabi has replied that he believes
a successful ending of the war ill favor of
the insurgents is approaching; ihat the
Cubans, with the aid of the United States,
will gain their independence, aud that,
therefore, he prefers to continue righting
thp Spaniards until the final victory is
won.
General Pando, in the meantime, while
acting after consultation with Marshal
Blanco has put other irons in the tire in
the hope of prevailing upon the insurgents
to come to terms. He has been, and still
is, in negotiation with three leaders of the
Cuban revolution and has been endeavor
ing to induce them to go to different in
surgent camps, there to use their influ
ence to bring about peace on the promise
of Cuba being accorded a really autono
mous form of government. These .hree
men were also offered money for them
selves and were to have been furnished
witn iarge sums of money ;o distribute
among their friends. But it is understood
they have ueietoiore declined to become
agents of General Pando, alleging as their
reason that they have no influence with
the insurgent leaders of the present day
and that they would be risking their lives
if they ventured into the insurgent
camps.
Ir current reports among the friends of
the insurgents are to be believed the revo
lutionary leaders hone to strike a decisive
blow at Strain before Congress meets, as
an encouragement to their friends in the
United States Senate who are ureing a
recognit-on upon the part of the United
States Government of the belligerency of
the insurgents of Cuba,
Kegarding political utterances, a state
ment made by Marshal Blanco shortly
alter his arrival here is much commented
upon. It seems that when the superior of
a religious order, residing at Guana Daco;.,
near this city, called upon the new cap
tain-generai, in order to welc >me him to
Cuba, Marshal Blanco, during the con
versation which followed, said, "Only di
vine Providence is able to save Cuba."
Whereupon the distinguished priest re
torted, "If we must conride in divine
Providence and havo no o'her means to
conquer the insurgents, then we are lost."
NEW CUBAN TARIFF.
It Is the Subject of Considerable
Heated Discussion Among
Spanish Statesman.
MADRID, Nov. 22.— The new Cuban
tariff is the subject oi considerable heated
discussion here. The Cu^au reformists
have published a manifesto claiming for
the Cubans the risht to establish their
own tariff, on the ground that the tobacco
monopoly prevents commercial reciprocity
between Spain and Cuba.
The protectionists reply that the Gov
ernment must not renounce the right to
interfere in Cuban tariff matters, pointing
out that the Spanish producers have to
pay the majority of the Cuban debts, while
they obtain no advantages in return.
As this dispatch is sent, the Cabinet,
which met at 5 o'clock this afternoon, ia
still in session, and it is rumored thai
there are dissensions among the Ministers.
ON ' EVOLUTION
AND REVELATION "
Dr. Conklin Surprises the A.
M. E. Congress by His
Views.
Says the Prevalent View of Special
Creation Is Not Founded on
Ganesls.
Special Dispatch to The Cai/u
FITTSBURG, Nov. 2i— The feature of
the afternoon session of the A. M. E. Con
gress was tbe paper presented by E. G.
Conklin, Ph. D., professor of comparative
embryology, Univer»ity of Pennsylvania.
The subject discussed was "Evolution
and Revelation." The paper came near
producing a sensation. During its read
ing the attention of the audience was di
vided, and the general discussion which
followed was spicy.
Some of the points made by Dr. Conk
lin were: "The charge that evolution is
atheistic arises only from the most funda
mental misconception of the doctrine. It
neither confirms nor denies the existence
of a God. It is no more atheistic to be
lieve that species originally came into the
world according to the law of evolution
than it is to believe that individuals come
into the world according to the law of de
velopment. The prevalent view of special
creation i« not founded upon Genesis, but
unou the seventh boos of Milton's 'Para
dise Lost.'
"It is the consensus of scientific opinion
that evolution does not destroy the evi
dences of desiEn in nature, but rather that
it gives us more certain evidences of an
infinite and al!-embracinc design. All the
evidences of evolution apply to the origin
of man as much as to that of any othei
organism. The dignity of man does not
consist in the fact that recently and
miraculously he was launched into the
world. His real dignity consists not in
his origin, but in all h« ia ami what be
may become.
"Evolution explains the moral unrest
of human kind as due to the conflict be
tween the animal and the spiritual, the
beastly and the heavenly. It explains
original sin aa brute inheritance and the
fall as a conscious yielding of the higher
to the lower nature. Although evolution
points out a man's humble origin, it also
suggests his glorious and immortal dea
tinv. Through ail the ages evolution has
been leading to a higher intellectual,
ethical and spiritual life."
When the doctor had finished the op
ponents of his position came to the front
in numbers which showed that the theory
of evolution was not universally popular
in tlie congress.
SEVEN JURORS SECURED.
Trial of Martin Thorn for the Mur
der of William Guldensuppe
Again in Progress.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.— Martin Thorn,
jointly indicted with Mrs. Augusta Nack
for the murder of William Guldonsuppe,
was again placed on trial to-day in the
criminal branch of the Queans County
Supreme Court at Long Island City.
Thorn's first trial,, 'which was begun two
weeks ago, had to be abandoned on ac
count of Juror Larsen becoming seriously
ill.
About 150 talesmen, especially drawn
for the trial, were in attendance. Many
ol them were farmers from the remote
parts of Long Island, and from their con
versation it was evident that they had not
read or heard much about the Guiden
suppe murder. This is regarded as favor
able for gett ng a jury within a reason
able time. The witnesses were not al
lowed to sit m the cqurtroom.
Judge Smith formally opened court and
announced that owing to illness he would
not be able to preside, but that. Judge
Maddox would sit ia t. is stead, alter which
adjournment was taken until 11 o'cio:k.
At that hour Thorn was brougnt into
court and Judg' Maddoz took his place
udoii the bench. The panel of jurors was
called and other formalities were gone
through with preparatory to the selection
of a jnry. Seven jurors had been secured
when court adjourned for the day.
