by the treaty. They charge that Claus
Speckels is in collision with the Off
cials Of the treasury department, and
they demand that the question be ju-
dicially investigated In San Francisco
by a suit wherein sugar experts can be
called and the truth not be left en-
tirely to the custom officials and the
S~peckels ring. The leading sugar
dealers In New York also ask that
congress shall ask the presi-
dent to make public all the
official correspondence in the de-
partment that may throw light
on the question. What sugar dealers
In New York seek to know Is the grade
of sugar, which, under the treaty, Is
to be- admitted free, and that ques-
ton the officials Of the treasury res
