Old World.
OlauS spreehels, the Sugar King, and
the Power He yyields
GREAI MONOPOllSr.

Claus spreelSeIs, the Sugar King, and
the Power He NieIds,
Claus Spreckels, commonly known Us the
Sugar King Of the Sandwich Islands, wields a
power more autocrat, if not greater, than that
OF any other monopolist in the world, writes
correspondent Of the st. Louis GLOBE Demoora al
from San Francisco. Reckoned by millions he
is not SO rich as Vanderbilt, Gould, Rockefeller,
or the Central Pacific triumviate-Stanford,
Crocker and Huntingdon but none of these
men have such absolute control over the army
Of people under them, not one has king at
his beck and call, and not one can make and
unmake laws with the ease that this sugar mo,
nopolist can accomplish legislation in his own
Anterest. Spreckels, who is a knight of the
peeraRe OF the Kanaka kingdom, absolutely
runs the govenment-King, cabinet and
Legislature. He is something more
than Warwick, because he has not re-
manned content with making the King, but
has guided all his movements like puppet, SO
that he is actually ruler of the pigmy realm and
ats financial ministry. His dream is to exer.
else equal sway on this coast. and, so far as
money is concerned and intrigue can push him
on, he has advanced toward the goal ofh am
oltion. In no eastern stats could he have OBJ
tanned such success, because there the moral
sense has been developed, and no man by mere
aOtOo vi ulOlle1 uhu SuSuclty Is QDlo TO control
whole branches of business. Here he has the
merchants under such excellent training that
not one oil them dares revolt against his rule,
while by Substituting the Central Pacific
monopoly lIc prevents eastern sugar reine~s
IRON poaching on his preserves. The struggle
which has been made for the renewal of the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty shows tho power
which well-direrted lobby may exercise at
Washington when there is practically unlimited
money behind it. What is not generally
known is that the sugar ring of which Spreckeis
i the head and front is in a bad way
aust now owing 10 poor crops on
the islands and extensive and costly improve
ments on the plantations, and that it is almost
matter Of life or death to them whether tho
treaty be renewed or net. This is what led to
the shooting OF the editor of the Chronicle n
few weeks ago by one If Spreckels' sons, and
this IS what prompted the preparation of the
long special plea to Congress in favor of the
renewed ol the treaty-a document which was
autographed across the country in order to in
sure its prompt use in the Senate, and which
was signed by oyer 1000 firms in this city, all
directly or indirectly connected with the sugar,
wheat, lumber or machinery trade with the
Sandwich Islands. That one man should have
obtained such grip as old Claus Spreckes has
secured on the Sandwich Islands and the
1acihc coast-all in not more than Is years
Is something almost phenomenal, and the
record OF it, mixed up as it is with the singular
history OF the Hawaiian Kingdom, makes
story which rivals the most improbable romance
in the language.

A special from Spring Place, Ga, says The
discovery of huge veins cfgold on Fort Noun
tain HIS now been supplemented by the dis
covery of silver in wonderful yield, in conse-
quence of which there Is great excitement in
that section and men are hocking there from
all parts Of the county. The most valuable
deposit yet known is on the land of Mr. Tyler,
seven miles from this place and Is from Dali
ton, which is the nearest point to the railroad.
A shaft feet deep, wide and 20 long has
been sunk under the superintendent of an
old miner. The 'lead" is at least 1900 feet
wide, 800 feet deep and % miles long, being
the same that is now worked at Ducktown,
Tenn. Here ore was found at five feet from
the surface as rich as that obtained at 200 feet
in the famous Comstock Of Nevada, assaying
from 500 to S20O0 per ton. 1t is said to be
more advantngeously situated than any mine in
the West. 1t will drain itself to q depth of go
feet has water supply sufficient to operate
10 smeltcr stacks and all other machinery
necessary. A railroad will be constructed to
it from Iilton, distance of about 20 miles
1t is said that ore assaying only 81 per ton
could be worked with larger profit than $40
ore in the West.

THE FISHERY TREATY,
Newfoundland Fishermen DO Not De
sire its Renewal,

No"AOuhuInhu tEShefmen 40 NOT Oe~
sire its Renewal,
Advices received from newfoundland state
that the fishermen of the i,land are not desr.
GUS that the fishery treaty with the United
States should be renewed. They believe
Americans would be heavy losers by its abro-
CATION. The exports of fishery products to
the United States, which would be subject to
duty if the treaty is MOI renewed are light, the
total exports OF the province to the United
States during 1883 only amounting to about
$500 900, while the imports from American
markets amounted to $2,S00,OO0. Fishermen
state that there would be no difficulty in find
ing elsewhere a market for the small quantity
OF their fish now exported free into the United
States. The right of procuring bait along the
shores of Newfoundland would cease should
the treaty not be renewed, which would prove
great loss to American fishermen. There is
q strong disposition on the part of the New
foundlanders to secure reciprocity with the
United States, which, as the island is q separate
col ny, could be accomplished without refer,
ence to the Dominion of Canada

Syrup, may be implicitly relied on when
everything else fails. Take it in the spring

and take it at all times for cancer, scrofula,
liver complaints, weakness, boils tumors,
swellings, skin discases, malaria and the
thousand ills that come from impure blood.
To insure a cheerful disposition take this

IN Alleged Swindling Scheme.

Washington detective officers are investigat-
ing what appears to be an extensive swindling
scheme. An advertisement has appeared ro-
Gently in several newspapers in Northern
States, which states that certain parties there
have received an appropriation for the purpose
OF distributing $4,000 mementos of the WASH
ington Monument, and that they will forward
TO any address, upon receipt OF 81 cents for
postage, piece OF marble Clipped from stone
used in the construction of the monument, set
in handsome plush frame and hand-painted.
No person has received any such appropriation,
and the detective officers, who look upon the
scheme as one to swndle conhding persons,
hope to arrest the sohemcrs soon

DOCT0RlNG THE TREATY,
Fixing Up That Spanish Document to
Suit the Sugar Esefineries.


Suit the Sugar ESefineries.
An important modification is reported as
having been effected by cable in the proposed
Spanish-American treaty. The change was
made to meet the principal objections of the
sugar refners, who have been almost unani.
mously opposed to the treaty. The original
draft Of the treaty proposed to admit free Of
duty sugars grading as high as No. l6 Dutch
standard, so that the grades from and inciud.
ing Nos. IA to l6 could have gone into com,
petition with the refined grades. Mr. Juan NJ.
Ceb.llos. the well-known importer, suggested
soon after the publication of the treaty that
alterations might be made so as to admit free
only sugars grading up to No. Is. This sug-
ges ion was immediately acted upon, and so
much influence did Mr.. Ceballos name have
with the Spanish government that they i'm
mcdiately made the alteration at the cablel
suggestion of the secretary of STATE. The
alteration would prevent the impo tation OF
high grade sugar in competition with our re-.
fined sugar
