Judge Barstfs Decision Against the Sugar Trust

NEW YORK, January 11.-R. G. Dun &

Not the least important feature Of the rail

that bankers of large influence commit
themselves in case the compact is signed,

negotiation Of securities for new competing
lines or extensions, where either of the
railroads agreeing to the compact object.
The report Of the Interstate Commission
shows that on II, 600 miles Of read for the
year ending June 30, 1888, the stock and
bonds were OF equal par value, but On 52I
per cent. Of the stock 20 dividend wss
paid, and on 20 per cent. of the bonds no
interest while the proportion raying less
than per cent. was 63 per csnt of the
stock and 81 per cent. OF the bonds.
the decision Of Judge Barrett, holding
that Sugar Trust is Illegal, is of very large
importance. No charge occurs as yet in

Robertson Again Presents Himself and
Is Denied Admission.
INDIANAPOLIS, January 1.-THE Leg
islaiure met at 10 O'Clock this morning,
aud the scre around the Senate chamber
was a mild rspstition Of yesterday. Col.
Robertson, accompanied by Senator De
Motto, Of Valparaiso approached the door
leading into the Senate chamber, and
Robertson came very near slipping in,
when the watch full dOOIkeeper, Buleer,
stepped before him and intercepted his
passgga. Robertson sgain demanded Rd-
mission, stating that Re vas the Lieutsn-
ant Governor of Indiana.
Bulger replied: "Colonel, my orders to
keep you ont are still in force"
DeMotte passed in, leaving the rejected
Lieutenant Governor on the outside, where
he remained nearly the entire morning.
The session WAS devoted to trivial matters
such as drawing for seats, discussing and
correcting yesterdays Journal. President
Pro Tem Cox presided, without protest
from the Republican members. At one
O clock the Senate adjourned to meet the
House in joint session at two o'clock and
receive the Governors message.
The House was in session but a few mo
mems, completing its organization, then
stood adjourned until two o'clock.
At2:30 the General Assembly, in joint
session. was called to order by Speaker
Niblgck. On motion of Senator Howard,
Lieutenant GOvernOr-elect Chase was unsn-
imously invited TO occupy a chair beside
the Speaker. Lieutenant Governor Rob-
ertson was not present. When Gov. Gray
appeared escorted by the joint committee,
be vas received with applause. The Gov
ernor's message took an hour in its deliv-
ery. He dwelt at lenghth on the reform
needed in elections.
Il earnestly invite your attention to the
imperative necessity for revision Of the
election laws so as to guard more effect
ually the exercise of the elective franchise,
and to secure the people fair and honest
elections. 1t is manifest that the public
faith in the purity Of our elections ba,
become shaken and the feeling is wide
spread that the decision at the ballot box
no longer Tt fleets the honest Judgment OF a
majority of the voters. 1t is needless TO
say that the ballot bcx is the superstruo-
ture upon which is built our representa-
tive form Of government and in our ability
to maintain it's purity lies the only nope
Of the perpstuity of our free institutions.
You can render the State no more exalted
service than to frame and ensct such laws
that will, 20 far as legislation can accom-
plisb, prevent the corrupt use Of money,
preserve the secrecy of the ballot, secure
pure elections and punish by the
severest penalties all who may be guilty OF
committing fraud upon the ballot-box, or
the voter. Place the polling places under
such restrictions as will give every voter
the opportunity TO select and vote the
ticket of his choice without interference
by Others, and congregating and election
eering about the polling places should be
strictly prohibited"
The Governor also raps the White Caps.

The guards, who had been forawnrucd OF
the Kings intentions, refused to eater the

made attack on Mwauga's palace.
The King fed TO efcape the fury Of the
guards, and his bother Kiwowa, wGs en-

Christians 10 the principal offices. This

aladstone BargaIns wIth lhe popa.

LONDON, January 1.-The discovery
he's heen made in Rome Of a secret motive
for the misinterpretiDg and publishing Of
B1r. Gladstone's letter to the Marquis de
Riso, in which the Tablet makes the En-
glish statesman advise international Mbi-
tration on the Roman question.
1t is asserted by those who have made
the alleged discovery that the motive for
the publication Of the letter, as il was rem
dered, was to gain the YOpa's assistance in
solving the diflicnlties Of Ireland, and that
some Of Ire!snd's sIdent but ildifcreet
friends are at the bottom of the present
Misunderstanding. Il is ssid that the ides
Of the promoters Of the scheme was 10 make
tie Pope believe that Mr.. Gladstone, rs
next Prime Minister OF Eogland. would
render valuable assistance to the Vatican
in regiiniDg its lost temporal power hy
enlistipg the nations Of Europe in its be-
half.
What the effect OF inspiring such be-
lief in His Holiness would be can easily be
seen. II wss expected by the originatoIs
of the plan that the Pope would thus be
induced TO give powerful aid TO tie cause
of home rule for Irelaod and be au impor-
tlnt factor in restoring Mr. Gladstone to
power. Perhaps the motive and the plan
were good, but like all echemeg in which
the principals ale not corsidered, it failed,
at least partially. Mr.. Gladstone rejects
the Interpretation put upOn his letter, and
gives plain enough u.,erance to his opinion
in the matter 10 prevent the Vatican from
taking any steps in the direction wished
for by those who arrauged the affair.

IN SPITE OF PROTESTS.

Law Has Benefited Railroads.

The Commissioners Say the Interstate
Law Has Benefited Railroads.
NEW YORK, January lin their sec
ond annual report the Interstate Com
missioners cay that outside of roads af-
fected by ocean competition between the
Atlantic and Pacific, the long and short
baul clause has been fairly well obeyed.
The Commission insists that it has no
evidence, in spite of railroad protests, that
the law has been otherwise than beneficial
to the roads. The sbOlisbing of unjust
determinations, no matter how ii affected
earnings, was for common justice and pub
lie morality. The losses of 1888 were not
due TO the act. One csuse was the "Q'
strike. New and parallel lines materially
injured net revenues and rate wars have
been very serious. They, however, were
not the result Of the act.
The Commission was unable TO get evil
dence Of the alleged secret cuts in the late
trunk line fight The losses have been
mainly due to the violations of the act. If
the roads would provide evideucs of such
violations, say the commissioners it would
tend TO the common benefit. The report
adds that the only way to prevent the pay
ment Of unearned dividends is to make
such action criminsl offenfe The
power 70 cut rates. it is declared, should
be taken from subordinate, and RESPONSE
bic officers should be charged with all
rate making. Payments of commissions
to obtain business is deplored, and Con-
gTess viii be asked by the Commission TO
take cogDiz 'nce of this particular evil. 1t
is also eOntended that notices of cuts in
rates. as we'll az in advances of rates,
should be given some days in advance of
action.
