CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Mr. Hoar
asked unanimous consent to take up
the Pacific railroad bill. He said 1t
was an extremely important bill. It
/ undertook to deal with vast govern
ment property on an Indebtedness to
the government and undertook to
remove from decision a great many
complicated questions. The bill is
one that excited q good deal of inter-
est in the country and Hoar supposed
he was not saying anything that
would be disputed when he said it
had created large interest among
stock brokers. Newspapers were
full of charges and counter charges
regarding it and while he would
make charge against the press of
the country as body, some of the
statements were of course inspired by
the Interests of speculative dealers in
stocks. The bill. Hoar added, had
not been stimulated or investigated
by any railroad company, but was
the result Of the original Investigation
by the judiciary committee, which
had looked very carefully into the
whole subject. He did not wish to |
push the bill to q vote to-day. but |
would like the oifl and accompany-
ing report to b, read when be would |
make short statement on the sub
ject and then propose to lot the bill
stand over until Tomorrow. The

is considered inadequate. The gov

of newspaper publishers in depriving
their readers of what politicians re-

and some officials are urging the
reichstag to retaliate by withdrawing
advertisements fr0iu the
newspapers and establishing q more
rigorous censorship of the press.

THE SUGAR MARKET.

The San Francisco correspondent OF the
ADVERTISER gives Us the following inform
alton on sugar subjects: In San Francisco
there has been but little of note, business
continuing steady and with good demand
for California Refinery grades. The Amer
lean Refinery is steadily continuing Its Ell
largements, which will not be completed
according to general statements till March
or May. The most noticeable event that
has transpired of late has been a change in
New York quotations of the values of Dem
erara and Trinidad sugars. 1t has always
been a recognized and established fact that
the Demerara product brought higher
price than the Trinidad. Matters, how
ever, have been reversed, as quotations on
the 4th instant showed:
Demerara raws, 94% per cent-55S cents.
Trinidad, 81 Is per cents 1916 cents
Sales at the above quotations were eff
fected in New York, on the 4th instant, as
follows:
Demerara-IOO, 900 pounds.
Trinidad-2OO 900 pounds.
This was doubtless due to the inferior
quality of the Demerara sugars.
Our latest telegraphic quotations are:
