In Order to Dcwn the Arbuckles Sugar Trust Will Invcde Chicago Territory. | CHICAGO, hin., Dec. 27.—A morning paper says: The war between the sugar | trust and the Arbuckles has invaded Cui: cago territor; The trust, it is said, has | approached the officers of one of the large | coffee-roasting plants of the West witha | | proposition for the purchase of the same and the war between the two big concerns appears destined to spread indefinitely. The first intimation received in Chicago | outside of the immediate partiesto the ne- ; gonations for a Chicago plant came yester- {day in a circular issued by a New York sugar house, which is considered of the highest authority in sugar circles and which stands close to the trust. Coming | | from such a source the statement iscon- | | sidered reliabie and as undoubtedly ema- | nating from within trust circles. ' The | statement was as follows: There is very considerable talk about the | American Sugar Refinery baving bought the | controlling interest in” the Woolson Spice | Company of Toledo, the second coffee-rossting | plant in the United States, and there are | rumors of negotiations for the purcbase of the | plant of W. F. McLavghlin of Chicago, the third largest in the United States. These pur- | chases, if made, are no doubt caused by the | | sction o1 Arbuckle Bros., who are reported to be pushing forward plans and contracts for | the erection of & 2000 barrel capacity sugar refinery in Brookiyn. | _ The statement was shown W. F. Mc- Laughlin yesterday. He would not deny tbat Such negotiations had been broached | by the sugar-trust pecple, but stated that | he was not in a pgpition to talk about it. | He said, howevef| that his plant was not | for sale, as he considered that he coula make as much money out of it as any one could. He concluded the interview with the plant was not for sale he could imagine | circumstances ander which some color might be lent to such a statement as ap- peared in the circular of the New York | sugar autho rity. | —— “Jerry”’ Green rrenders.

While United States Minister to Greece He Achieved Great Distinction. For Noble Acts in the Cause of Hu- manity He Was Honored at Home and Abroad. PARIS, Fraxce, Dec. 27.—General John Meredith Read died this morning from pneumonia. Jchn Meredith Read, the well-known American diplomatist, was born in Phila- delphia February 27, 1837, he being a son of a former solicitor-general of the United States. He received his education at a military school and at Brown Uni- versity, where he received the degree of A.M. in 1856. He was graduated at the Albany Law School in 1859, studied inter- national law in Europe, was admitted to the bar in Philadelphia, and afterward re- moved to Albany/ N. Y. He was Adju- tant-General of New York in 1860-6, and was one of the ori.inators of the “Wide- Awake” political clubs in 1860. He was chairman in April of the same year of the committee of three to draft a bill in behalf of New York State appropriating $100,000 for the purchase of arms and equipments, and he subsequently received the thanks of the War Department for his ability and zeal in organizing, equipping and forward- g troops. He was United States Con- sul-General for France and Algeria in 1869 70, and 1870-74 Acting Consul-General for Germany during the Franco-German war, After the war he was appointed by Gen- eral de Cissey, French Minister of War, to form and preside over a commission to ex- amine into the desirability of teaching the English language to ihe French troops. In November, 1873, he was appointed United States Minister resident in Greece. One of his first acts was to secure the re- lease of the American ship Armenia, and to obtain from the Greck Government a revocation of the order that prohibited the During the Russo-Turkish war he discovered that only one port in Russia was still open, and he pointed out to Secretary Evarts the advantages tbat would accrue to the commerce of the United States were a grain fleet dispatched from New York to that port. The event justified his judg- ment, since the exports of cereals from the United States showed an increase within a year of 000,000. ‘While Minister to Greece he received the | thanks of his Government for his effectual protection ot American persons and inter- ests in the dangerous crisis of 1881. Soon afterward Congres: from motives of econ- omy, refused the apprépriation for the legation at Athens, and General Read, be- lieving that the time was too cnitical to withdraw the mission, carried it on at his own indivdual expense until his resigna- ion, Sentember 23, 1889. In 1881, when, owing in part to bis ef- fortsatter his resignation, the territory that had been adjudged to Greece had been finally transferred, King George created him a Knight Grand Cro-s of the Order of The Redeemer, the highest dig- nity in the gift of the Greek Government. General Read was president of the Social Science Congress at Albany, N. Y., in 1868 and vice-president of the omne at Plymouth, England, in 1872 He was the author of “A Historical Inquiry Concern- ing Henry Hudson,” which first threw light upon his origin and that sources of | the ideas that guided the navigator and contributed to current literature. MILITIA HELD IN READINESS, Governor Bradley of Kentueky Will Pre- vent Mob Violence. FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 27.—Several companies of the Second Regiment, Ken- tacky State Guards, have been in readi- ness to march for the past forty-eight hours. Governor Bradley is determined to prevent mob violence if it is in his power, and the report that a mob would attempt to lynch Jobnson Howe, colored, who is in jail at Paris for the shooting of Policeman Charles Lacey at Cyntbiana, caused him to order the militia to be in readiness to go to Howe's protection. Lacey died this morning. A telegram from Paris to-night says that Howe 1s not in danger. . it Payment Will He Peswmed. BRYAN, Tex, Dec. 27.—Bank Examiner J. D.
