THE QUEEN'S ALMS-KNIGHTS. Indigent Gentlemem of Je 9rdF the Military Knights of -Windsor. While chronicling the- moyemen-ts of the queen reference is now and again made the daily press- to the Military Knights of Windsor, fteyertheless, but few who read about the jr doing know of what that order consists. They are officers who have distinguished themselves In some of the innumerable little wars, and yet in their old ag-e find themselves dependent on a very diminutive pension. From tne (j- they served so faithfully and well they receive an annuity and a lodging in that vast palace, Windsor" oastfe.

TThj order is, indeed, a pendant to that bet ter-known home forth veteran of the rank and file, Chelsea hospital. Its. his tory is peculiarly interesting'. When the gallant warrior, King-Edward III founded iha Order of the Garter, he or dained that each of the pompapions s-hould be allowed to present knig-ht" to the provision made forihem by the king. According" to the origina grant these veterans were to be "such as throneh adverse fortune were brought tp that extremity that they had cot of their pwn wherewith tp sus tain them to live so g-enteelly 'as Pf: came a military That they might live "gentee-lly'" they were given a lump sum of 40 snlliings a year, and 12 pence each day they attended the royal cbapel-a small pension, it seem to us, but it must be remembered ibafc money has vastly decreased in purchas ing power since those early day But eyil fortune awaited the alms knights.

They ha4 been placed under the supervision of the canons pi ot. George's chapel, and these priests seemed to have bullied! theim unmerci fully. Under George-IV. the quarrel had grown to such a. pitch that the king1 interfered.

Monks carried long tales to the monarch of the insubordina tion shown by the stout old warriors, to the rulea that had been made for their government. The alms-knights re plied, but in. cunning they were no match for their adversaries; "deeds not words' might have been their motto, In the end they were shut off from the royal bounty, and, as an old chronicler of the times remarks, "how they next subsisted doth not fully appear," Bluff Kins' Ilal, however, took pity on tbe poor old men that yet remained in the land of the living and st apart certain lands for their maintenance. Queen Bess added to their lodging, but Issued a series of strict regulations as to their behavior, which, well became the maid en queen, however distasteful tpey were to the alms-knights themselves. Their old enemies, the canon of St.

George's chapel, were informed that they were to consider themselves responsible for their behavior, and severe penalties awaited a "haunter of taverns" or a "keeper of Iatehours. When thequeen visited Windsor they were to be ready to salute her; lastly it was ordained that no married man could be admitted to the order, bachelor and widowers being alone eligible. Untir the reign of William IV. their uniform was more ornamental than comfortable. Indeed, daring hot weather it must have been well-nigh intolerable, consisting, as it did, of a flow-iog red mantle, decked with a "scutcheon of St.

George" upon the shoulder. Since the reform instituted by that king, however, it has consisted of a red swallow-tail coat, dark blue trousers, socked hat with red and white plum age, crimson silk sash and a jeather.be? for a sword. Of course it is only on fuli-dress occasions that the veterans thus gayly bedeck themselves. Remarkably well they then look, with their kind old faces beaming above the rows medals that proclaim their part achievements. They still mourn tire- discontinuance their famous banquet on St.

George's day. but presents of game from the royal preserve doubtles reconcile them to the loss of their annual feast. London Quiver. The Carnfed Fnlloiophcr.

SUGAR CHEAPER THAN IYER BEFORE The Arbackle, OacTMchcr and Beet Sugar Factories Combine Aialnit tbe Bigger Trast rnd Factors Tb Trait's Lou Is Aboat Thirty Thousand Dally. Chicago, Deo. 24. Chicago has become the chief battleground in tbe contest between tbe sugar trust and tbe Arbuckles and tbe Doerschers, its powerful rivals. Testerday the price of "outsidw" sugar was cut one-eighth of a cent below tbe trust price, reaohing almost tbe lowest quotation on record.

The drop was accompanied by developments that showed a little trust among wholesale grocers to support tbe sugar trust, and also that a new Richmond was in tbe field in tbe hape of a beet sugar supply. The trust was not ready to meet its rivals' prices, but it is expected to do so today. Tbe circumstances leading up to tbe cut are these: Arbuckle Brothers and the Doerscbers own sugar refineries on the Atlantio seaboard that have a daily capacity of 5,000 and 8,600 barrels respectively. Both plants were started less than six months ago ami both invaded Chicago with their goods early iu the fi. TRIED TO FREEZE THEM OUT.

The trust WRS ready for them. Iu September seeing that rivSl eoods were to be offered, its representatives visited the jobbing trade and suggested that a contract be signed by which any amount of sugar up to a stated quantity, might be purchased by tbe jobber at a given price and that a low cqo. Tbis was to cut tbe ground from under the trust's rivals, but it was made only to its factors. Tbe latter are all tbe wholesale grocers efoept two or tbree whose arrangement with the trust provides for a rebate of from one-eighth to one-sixteenth from tbe list price to be made periodically. The Arbuokle's and Doerpeher's when they entered tbe Chicago market, made a cut in prices.

It did not bring tbe expected increase in sales, as the jobbers were able under their contracts to draw on the trust for sugar at tbe same prices Tbe contract! began expiring a short lime ago. Jif 'ore the date was reached tn trust's representatives visited the factors and extended tbe ABANDONED THE WHOLESALERS. When tbe Arbuckles and Doerscber's found this out they, on Wednesday last announced a cut to 5 20 cents, and, cou pled with it tbe notioe they would do bueiners direct with the retail trade. Yes terday they followed it up with a further cut to .15 a full one-eighth cent below tbe trust price. The local bouses of the Arbuckles and Doerescbers were bombarded with tusi ness.

Salesmen for tbe jobbers and wholesalers came iu to report the market was taken away from the trust, that the retailers in Chicago were dealing with tne opposition. No attempt was made to meet thr price but there was possibly a reason for tbis. A meeting of tbe sugar committee was called in tne commercial exetange. but adjourned until today, when it is expected tbe trust price will be announced. A LOSS OF J30.000 A BAY.

One'year ago tbe difference between the prices' of raw end refined sugars was about $1.25. Yesterday it was tbirty-four cents, or nearly f3 per barrel.

2. Secretary Alger bis eabled Gen. Otis at Manila to take possession of Iloilo immediately. Plans for doing so are left to tbe general. Tbis step is taken in advance of formal relinquishment of "the sovereignty of Spain on account of the gravity of the situation there, it is supposed.

Iloilo is the only point in the Philippines now under Spanish control, and it has been one constant fight with the insurgents to retain control. Admiral Dewey reported recently the Spaniards were holding Iloilo with 800 soldiers and tbat tbe citizens bad asked him for warships to protect them. Gen. Otis will probably send two regiments and Admiral Dewey is expected to detail the Charleston and Concord to aid the troops. The Spaniards will willingly relinnmnh authority over as it is understood they must evacuate soon.

What the in surgents will do remains to be seen, but there la little fear in Washington of a ae- rious clash, though our soldiers will be prepared tor any emergency. TO rORESTAXL THE IXStJHGENTS The war department has no confirma tion of tbe rumor that, the insurgents have captured Iloilo. Should it prove true Gen. Otis may find some difficulty in dislodging them. It is hoped tbat the re port is false, as tbis government wants to occupy tbat position before tbe rebels get a foot hold.

MAT CABLE A PROCLAMATION. The proclamation to be issued then bas been mailed to Gen.
