THE SUGAR TRUST.
The North River Sugar Refining Com.
pnny Dissolved.

New YoRK, Nov. 7,-The general term
of the supreme court handed down de-
cisions to-day, among them the long ex-
pectcd one In the case OF the North River
Sugar Refining Company, which was
some time ago incorporated in the sugar
trust. The opinion atfrms the decision
Of Judge Barrett ordering the dissolu-
ton of the company
The court holds that although the
trust agreement does not set forth as one
Of its objects the prevention of compe-
tition and enhancement of prices, Its
objects may be judicially enforced from
the facts in the case and from the ordi-
nary motives governing mems actions;
and even though outside competition
might prevent the trust from realizing
these objects, this accidental fact would
not relieve the parties to the agreement
from responsibility for their illegal
course. The condition under which the
corporation IL allowed to be created and
maintained is that 1t shall exercise and
use its franchise for the benefit OF the
public, and when 1t voluntarily declines
10 do that, or places itself in situa-
ton in which that may be prevented, as
a consequence of its voluntary action,
under the statute, as we'll as the de-
cison of the courts, its charter may be
annulled,

Gordon.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 7.-Surveyors in the
employ of the Manitoba road are locat-
Ing line between Butte and Missoula.
This indicates that tho line will be ex-
tended westward from Butte, and will
wind in and out among the Bitter Root
mountains until II reaches Missoula,
when 1t will run west to Spokane Falls.
That the line would be built to Mis-
soula there was never doubt. Just
when 1t would begin has been matter
Of conjecture. The faot Of this survey,
while not setting the matter at rest,
would seem to indicate that a line from
Butte is projected. Washington is fas,
opening up by railways. The majority
of these projects are already
known to your readers. Puget
Sound Is being tapped at svery point,
and when the roads now reaching that
point are completed, II will be entirely
encircled by railroads.
Fair Haven has the finest harbor on
the Sound. Three towns on Bellingham
bay are said to be forging ahead. Puget
Sound is the objective point of all the
Northwestern railroads to-day. When
the Manitoba goes through it will find

THE CONTESTED WILL
Samuel j. Tilden's Bequest
Is Void.
REVERSED BY THE HIGH COURT
George H. Tildsn Had Attacked
the Validity of Section
in the Will,

New YoRK, Nov. 7.-Justice Law
rences decision in which he upheld the
first clause in the will of the late Samuel
J. Tilden was to-day reversed by the
supreme court. The will, In the thirty.
fifth clause, provided for the establish
ment of libraries In this city and other
places; but according to to-day's ruling
this bequest by reason of legal techpi-
calities, is void. Mr.. Tilden in the dis
puted clause directed the formation of a
corporation to be known as the "rilden
Trust" and gave his residuary estate for
that purpose, Should the trust not he
incorporated during the lifetime
of two Of his nieces whom
he named, the residue was
by executors to be applied to such edu-
cational and charitable purposes in their
Judgment would render the most sub
stantial benefit. George II. Tilden, a
nephew, attacked the validity of the sec
ton and the supreme court sustained
the contest on the point of the indefinite
ness of the provisions. "lt is plain" :"
says the decision, that the discretion
which Is vested in these trustees can not
cised by another person or
court and thus no duty has
been imposed upon them, the perform
ance OF which can be upheld bya court
Of equity, and this Is the test of validity
of such power in trusts" The court
says it is great misfortune that the in
tention of the testator to found trust
Of the character mapped out by his will
should be frustrated and that the city of
New York should not receive the ad-
vantages thereof, but that should not
cause the court to violate the rules and
statutes which have been adopted as
best subscribing the interests of the peo-
pie of the state,

At the close of the war he entered
the college as before stated and after
finishing his studies he settled In
Owensboro, KY, In the practice OF
his chosen profession, and continued
there until 1880, organizing the re-
publican party of his section and be-
coming u candidate for republican
elector in 1876 and for congress In
1873.
In 1880 he emigrated to Kansas
and was three times elected prose-
cutting attorney of Lyon county,
served four years as judge advocate
general of the national guards and
one time as department commander
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
resigning the office of prosecuting
attorney to locate In Washington,

sonal vanity, and If elected will try

HYDE's WITHDRAWAL.
The Delegation Is Rapidly Breaking
Towards Allen.

The Delegation Is Rapidly Breaking
Towards Allen.
Hyde's withdrawal continues to be the
talk in senatorial circles. The true story
of the doings at the meeting of the Spo-
kane delegation yesterday, which ended
in the withdrawal of Hyde, was learned
to-day. To begin with, it must bo said
that Hyde, on arriving here Monday,
canvassed the situation fully, and said
he stood no chance against Squire and
Allen. He frankly admitted this
TO the delegation at their va
rious sittings, and placed his dec
lination in their hands to be accepted
whenever they saw fit. The subject was
discu seed several times and the senator
ial field was surveyed to determine to
whom Spokane county's nine votes
could be thrown in order to reap the
greatest benefit for thoir county. John
b. Allen was selected as the best man.
Spokane wants new postoffice, and it
was thought that Allen, if elected, would
make every effort to obtain ON appropri-
ton for one. Grubb, one of the Spokane
representatives, had been a pronounced
Allen man from the start.
Yesterday afternoon Hydes brother,
who is a senator, Senators Houghton
and Van Houten, and Mr.. Ridpath held
private meeting at the delegation S
headquarters, and after long discussion
the conclusion was reached that nothing
was TO be gained by keeping Hyde OH
deck. Then Ridpath, Houghton and
Van Houten rushed out and told Turner
that Hyde had been withdrawn and he
substituted. Turner has been pressing
arrival here, and has been constantly
charging that he had larger support out.
side of the Spokane delegation than
Hyde had. That is how Turner came
into the field.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Nov. 7.-Both houses
of the legislature adjourned this after
noon until p. NJ. Monday, to give the
senatorial sspirants little more time
for wire-pulling.
reason the legislature took recess was
70 have the election take place after the
Issuance of the proclamation SO that
there would be no question of its legality.
Allen made q similar statement. Their
opponents look at it in different lish..
They say when the adherents Of Squire
and Allen went to bed last night, or
rather carly this morning, they had de-
termined upon forcing ballot, but when
they got up this morning they discov-
cred q break in their strength In the SEN
ate, and were not so eager for paiiot.
Howvver, their strength in the house is
unouestioned. As the other aspirants
we're not at all anxious for ballot, they
were not opposed to recess.

Catherine Dugan Feighan, a cousin
of Archbishop McHsle, the arch

A TEMPEST OF DEATH.
An Awful Blizzard Sweeps
Over New Mexico.
FOUR COWBOYS HAVE PERISHED,
Appalling Loss of Stock Along
the Texas Line
Trains Blocked.

DENVER, Colo. Nov. IA Republican
special from Clayton, Now Mexico, says;
Unless the snowstorm, which has been
raging for eight days comes to an end
soon, next summer will show country
covered with the dead bodies of amin ais
as thickly as was the old Santa Fe trail
in the sixties. The depth of snow now
is not less than twenty-six inches onthe
level and In many places Is drifted
seven feet high. When the storm struck
this section, seven large herds of cattle
numbering from 400 to 1000 were being
held near this place awaiting shipment
to Eastern markets. The rain of week
ago Wednesday, was followed Thursd ay
morning by blizzard of snow and sleet,
which sent the herds in a southerly di-
rection. In vain did the half-hozen
cowboys try to check the march OF the
herds, but on they went through the in
creasing storm, until finding 1t impossi-
BILE to hold the cattle the boys rode aside
and let them pass and nearly dead, rode
places, where they passed many hours
of misery, without food or fire.
Two cowboys drifted into canyon,
where they found cedar tree with a
rats nest In it. They managed
to light fire with this. Dur.
ing the second night one Of their
horses died from the, cold and
having nothing to eat the men cut
pieces of flesh from the dead animal,
salt. Amer remaining there sixty hours
they started out, and after much suffer
ing and hardship from their weakened
condition, managed to reach a ranch
thirty miles away, where they were
cared for. Five cowmsn are known toIbe
frozen to death, Henry Miller, John
Martin, Charles jolly and two unknown.
Two Mexican sheepherders have been
found frozen to death, ons near Tram
peros and another on small creek neal
town.
Two men coming in this morning re.
port the drifts some places seven and
eight fpct high, in which are hundreds
of dead animals, many with only head
and horns above the snow. In one drif,
thirteen were counted, in another ten.
Some of these were alive, but unable &c
move from their frigid prison.
Whole herds of sheep are completely
wiped out. 1t is estimated that 20,0C(
sheep have perished in this part of the
territory, and at present 1t Is unable tc
estimate the number of cattle lost, bu;
probably 1t will be in the thousands.
Every place of shelter in the town i:
being used AS barns for snow-bounc
horses. The hay supply is nearly eS-
hausted, and to-day 500 per ton wa,
offered by stockmen and refused.
AT the Texas line, nine miles below
Clayton, two passenger trains were snow
bound for week. The provisions run
ming out, the passengers we're compelled
to venture out into the storm and xii
cattle, the quarters of which were taker
into the cars and roasted.
IL Is thought snow plows will reacl
the imprisoned trains tomorrow anC
release them, and the road be opened il
day or two. The storm is BY far tht
worst ever known in New Mexico ant
