PAYSON ON THE EXTRA SESSION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Congressman
Payson, of Illinois, looks upon an extra
session rs inevitable He predicts with
confidence that congress will meet In
April, and pass tariff bill substantially
the same as that now under con
slderation in the senate Another
part OF the extra session program
VIII be the admission of south
Dakota. Montana aud Washington Terri
tory and the passage of an enabling act
for North Dakota These things, with
some general pension legislation, will. he
THINKS. be attended TO by an extra session.
Il have no desire TO conceal my motive
for admitting the territories in the
spring." Mr. Payson says, frankly. I'VE
have very small majority in each house
Moro especially in the senate is
it desirable that this majority
should be increased. These three
territories are emit led to representation
during the next congress. | think we
should admit them at an extra session in
the spring so that they may be fully or
ganized in states and may send six sena-
tors and the representatives to whom they
are entitled to be enrolled at the beginning
of the first regular session of the fifty-first
congress next December"

THE SUGAR TRUST CASE.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The case of the
people against the North River Sugar Re-
timing company was continued this morn
ing before Judge Barrett in the supreme
court special term. James c. Carter,
of counsel for the defendant, continued
his argument. He said the combiDa-
ton of sugar refining companies
was not intended as a monopoly for the
manufacture of sugar, nor was it for
the purpose of increasing the price of su-
gar. Sugar, he said, was commodity
limited only by inability TO manufacture
The raw material was unlimited in supply
and all that was required for its manu-
facture was capital and labor There
were other commodities that were, by
nature, q restricted in supply and a
combination to control such for the
purpose of increasing their value
might come under charge of viola
ton Of the law. Sugar is not necessity
of life, although being so much used BIZ
people all oyer the globe it might be very
nearly so considered.
The North River Sugar refining com
pany. Mr.. Carter continued was not insti-
uuted for the benefit OF the people, but
exclusively for the benefit OF those whose
capital was embarked in it. The object of
the business was gain. If men can con-
troll the coal fields of Pennsylvania, then
LLCS tdu CCIitIts NLo PAiICO "a CftA ~ l1illlL-
ing the production.
The definition of a monopoIiSt, accord
ing to Mr.. Carter is one to whom the eN
elusive right TO sell or buy a certain com
modify is given As to the sugar, which
may be brought to Us in avalanches by our
ships if the trouble to extract it be taken,
the term monopoly cannot IN any degree
be appropriately applied.
Take the Standard oil trust" continued
Mr., Carter, when it was first
organized oil was sold by the
gallon for certain number of
dollars How is 1t today; A gallon Of
petroleum can be purchased by the CON
sumer at a cost of &C. and yet IL there was
a combination So vast and well organized
that it could have increased the price Of a
commodity, that combination is the
Standard Oil company.
Counsel coDtended that the attorney
general had been urged TO bring this suit
by powerful political organization.
General Pryor replied briefly concerning
this, and stated that the attorner general
had proceeded upon the report Of the sen
ate investigating committee and not for any
political effect whatever.
Judge Barrett gave the counsel until the
I'D inst. to submit their brief and reversed
his decision.

drove to the Burlington tracks, but We're
afraid to use the explosive. He and Clarke

another talk with Bauereisen. Bauereisen
furnished more money and a trip was
taken by witness to Noblesville and West

and visit the "Q' tracks. / took Alex
ander Smith with me and drove to the
railroad crossing near the fair grounds,
where placed a stick of dynamite with q
Illuminating cap on the track We rode
back to Aurora and heard the explosion a
mile away. The next morning Bauereisen
said it was good job and that the
hanges had been blown off the leading
truck wheel"
The witness then described how he and
Bauereisen and Smith experimental with
a slow fuse in the construction room
Of the division hall at Aurora. After
these experiments Bauerelsen wanted
Smith and Bowles to put dynamite under
a 'scab" boarding house known as Council
house and blow 1t to atoms. They re-
fused. saying it would be murder Taking
third trip to Noblesyille he bought more
dynamite, which he took to Clarke at Gales
DurS. Making another trip to Indiana he
told how Bauereisen sent him a check for

but the contents of which were to the
effect to hurry up and get to Creston, Ia;
AXE plenty of goods with you; | have
written Broderick TO meet you; if you

would like to buy some goods from you. "

concerning Pinkerton detectives who, it
MAS SupDOSQu WAS zhQNOwinn him yU,c
introduced. In it the advice was to shoot

After detailing the arrest of Broderick
and himself, and before the witness had
concluded, Judge Wilson adjourned court
