DDTCH SUGAR BOUNTY
Its Interpretation a Puzzle
to Treasury Officials.
IMPORTANT INTERESTS AT STAKE
Question of LeTJlnS Extra Duty Upon
Sugar From Holland Depends
on the Decision.
Washington, Sept. 3. The question
of whether beet sugars exported irom
Holland to the United Statea should all
be practically excluded from this coun
try by the imposition of an additional
duty equivalent to the bounty paid by
the Dutch government, ia one which the
treasury department will have to decide
in the near future. At preeent sugars
are allowed to come in on payment of
the duty fixed by the sugar schedule in
the tariff bili, with the Understanding
that if it ia found that the additional
duty stands it shall be paid.
Section 5 of the Dingley act provides
that when any country shall pay either
directly or indirectly, any bounty or
grant a bounty upon the exportation of
any article of merchandise it shall be
subject, when imported into the United
States to an additional duty equal to the
export bounty. This ia aimed espe
cially at sugars, and the treasury de
partment has called upon the state de
partment to Becure through consuls and
ministers detailed information as to ex
port paid by foreign governments.
It baa been assumed that the new
Dutch sugar law which went into effect
recently, provided for an export bounty,
but this seems to be open to considerable
doubt. A draft of this law has been
forwarded by the minister at The Hague.
The treasury officials have not yet ex
amined it carefully enough to decide
whether it provides in any direct way
for a bounty on exportation. The draft
for the new law shows that premiums
are allowed on beet sugars produced and
withdrawn from the sugar factories, but
this does not seem to be an export
bounty, as it is the same on sugars with
drawn for home consumption as on
those shipped abroad. It is doubtful
whether this can . be construed to be a
bounty or grant npon the exportation
of the sugar, and this may lead to a de
cision that no additional duties can be
levied on Dutch sugar on account of the
bounty.
The effect of such a decision would be
to give Dutch beet sugars an advantage
in the American market over German,
Austrian and French sugars, as those
countries pay bounties on the exporta
tion of their sugars, and when they are
imported into the United States they
must pay additional duties equivalent to
the bounties.

Vasqnei Was Deported.
San Francisco, Sept. 3. The steamer
Acapulco brought information of another
political earthquake in Guatemala.
When the vessel reached Acajutla it was
met by a telegram from President
Barrios and held until 11 o'clock at night
when a special train arrived with Gen
eral Vasquez, ex-president of Honduras,
under guard.
It was ascertained that Vasquez, who
had taken refuge in San Jose de Guate
mala after his expulsion from Honduras,
had beon ordered deported - by Barrios.
The refugee was put on board the steam
er and landed at Acapulco. It is said
he was detected in fomenting a revolu
tion against Barrios.
Japan Not Trying to Take tbe Canal.
Nkw Yobk, 8ept. 7. A dispatch to
the Herald from Managua, says :
Your correspondent interviewed Presi
dent Zelaya as to the statement that
Japan is secretly negotiating with the
the diet of the Greater Republic of Cen
tral America to take the Nicaragua canaj
project out of the hands of the United
States, setting aside the treaty rights of
the United States. The president de
clares that the statement ia absolutely
false. He says that while he ardently
desires to have the canal completed as
eoon aa possible, Japan haa never offered
to take any hand in the matter.
President Zelaya's wish, according to
his statement, is for tbe work to be done
either by the United States or by a pri
vate company.
Rockefeller's Generosity.
Boston, Sept. 3. John D. Rockefeller,
in pursuance of a promise to the Ameri
can Baptist Missionary Union and. the
American Baptist Home Missionary So
ciety, has sent his check for tbe balance
of the $250,000 to be given by him on
condition that the two societies should
raise $236,000.
On August 1st the American Baptist
Missionary Union, with headquarters in
Tremont Temple, this city, received Mr.
Rockefeller's check for $121,267. Now
the American Baptist Home Missionary
Society, the headquarters of which are
in New York, haa received a check for
the amount necessary to cancel its in
dfibtednees. This contribution is the
largest gift ever made to the missionary
cause.
No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away a bottle of their Digestive Cordial
to any one who might call at their New
York office, there was a great rush and
a great many people thought they were
crazy.
Subsequent events proved to have
been a very-clever advertising transac-
tion, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, it waa in the end
profitable; nearly every one that took
free bottle came back for more and paid
for it with pleasure, saying they bad de
rived better results from its use than
from any other medicine they had ever
used.
There is nothing so uniformly success
ful in the treatment of stomach troubles
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and
what is better than all, it relieves at
once.

San Fkancisco, Sept. 3. H. Russell
Ward, of Santa Monica, Cal., the

Eumably to join bis wife and family in

H- Knssel Ward Killed by Flanging
From a Train.
Chicago, Sept. 3. A man of the name
of Ward, of San Francisco, a passenger
on the Chicago & Northwestern over
land flyer, which arrived today, and who
is believed to be tbe man who eloped
last summer with the wife of Millionaire
Bradbury, of Los Angeles, leaped from
the window of a Pullman car while the
train was rushing through Iowa last
ight and was killed.
A telegram was received from Wheat-
lands almost at the same time the train
pulled into Chicago which said Ward's
body, clad only in night robea, had been
found near that atation. It is believed
he was demented.
It is not known at what hour Ward
umped from the train. His absence
was discovered by Conductor Roundy,
when the train was between Geneva and
Chicago. All of the suicide's clothing
and effects were found in the berth he
occupied.
The police of Chicago are mystified
over the case. Yesterdav afternooon a
telegram was received at the central
station as follows : "Please send a good
man to drawing-room B, car No. 2, of
the east-bound overland Northwestern
in Chicago at 7:30."
The telegram was sent from Fremont,
Neb., yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
It bore no signature. Detective Brod-
erick met the train at the depot and on
investigation found that tbe drawing
room B was the room the suicide had
occupied. A detective was informed by
Conductor Koundy that the telegram
the police had received bad been sent
by Ward, who left the train at Fremont
long enough to aend it. C. F. Godman,
conductor, and C. M. Calloway, porter
of the Pullman car, occupied by Ward,
said that prior to his retiring last night
he.exhibited no signa of inaanity.

Tbe Reconciled Kradburys.
San Francisco, Sept. 3. By the ar
rival of the Acapulco it is learned that
Colonel J. R. Bradbury and his wife,
formerly Miss Banning of Los Angeles,
whose escapade with Russell Ward made
several days' talk of two continents,
came up on that vessel from Panama to
Mazatlan. They came from New York
by steamer and were on their way from
Mazatlan to the Taio mines near Ma
zatlan in which Colonel Bradbury is in
terested. .

Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed when the languid, exhanated
feeling prevails, when the liver ia torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
and alterative is felt. A prompt nse of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilioua fevers. No medi
cine will act more surety counteracting
and freeing the system from iae malar
ial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
