SUGAR TRUST SCHEME.
A Movement to secure the Ia Cen
Drawback Allowed

Drawback Allowed
New YoRK, March 24.-The Herald
this morning says the Sugar Trust has
mapped out fine scheme by which
the members will save themselvs from
losses which they were likely to incur
because of big overproduction for
March April the price OF granulated
sugar Will abruptly 20 down TO ~ cents
a pound because OF the change OF the
tariff. Today the price IS 81 cents.
The trust overestImated the March de-
manc and now find themselves over
loaded with sugars manufactured from
duty paying raw material. Ii tins stock
Is carried beyond April the loss to the
rehners VIII amount TO considerably
over l cent per pound, or an aggregate
loss TO the combine of close TO half a
million dollars AS outliped by well
informed sugar men the scheme of the
trust seems TO be nothing short OF de-
hberate move to make the Government
pay over to the trust for its March
sugars y cents per pound. This q
cents is the drawback the Government
allows for export sugars, and this Is
precisely what the trust IS after.

unseaworthy that several crews had re-
fused TO sail on her, had behaved badly
during the voyage. He had lost his
bearings and did not know he was any
where near land. 1t is likely that the
brig will be allowed to go to pieces where
she lies, as she is hardly worth saving,
but an effort to recover the cargo may
be made. The captain and crew were
landed safely, with the single exception

SPEED OF THE CABLES.


Mr.. ChApuaan Expi.i.s the sisv Pace .
Measure Of keesssy.
AL the original franchises granted TO
the Valley City Street and Gable Rail.
WAY Company distinctly state that the
speed shall not exceed SIX miles per
hour. This is the rate that we are now
running. Permission Was afterwards
granted 10 increase the speed. This
has been tried, and with our crooked
lines has proved enormously expensive.
The last cable used on the south line
cost s75l2, and wore out in l34 days, an
average cost of 5000 per day. When
II is remembered that the moving OF
this rope through the conduit, without
the cars attached, acquires l50- horse
power, II can be easily understood that
the whole earnings OF the line are re-
quired 10 buy cables ana fuel. Lesy-
ing the cost OF the multitude OF wheels,
the OIL that is used on them, as we'll a.
on the cable itself, also the wages of all
the employees TO be paid 10y the owners
OF tho property. Reducing speed Will
al the same time reduce all the expen-
ses except the wages. A wire rope run
nlng ten miles per hour will last half as
long as one running five miles per hour,
assuming that the conditions are the
same in both cases.
Fast and Slow Ropes.
On cable road, however, the condi-
titions existing between a fast and a
slow rope are not the same from the
fact that while cay twenty feet OF rope
are dragged through . grip before a car
attains speed OF five miles per hour,
fully sixty feet are dragged through be-
fore the car attains speed or ten miles
per hour. A grip has 10 be clasped onto
a fast cable much more gradually than
onto a slow one. In rounding curves,
it is imperative that the cars should 10
round al the speed of the rope. On a
fast cable THIS Is arranged by placing
auxiliary ropes at the corners; these
cost upwards OF $40, 900 4 corner. Not
having these, and wishing 10 AVOID the
shock caused by entering our sharp
curves at a rapid rate, grpmen have
been accustomed to allowing the rope
to pull through the grip at a point when
the strain Of the train is the greatest.
This Is of course disastrous to the cable.
Another source OF expense with Il fast
cable is that OF injury 10 persons and
property. In narrow streets with SO
many corners to turn, accidents will
happen even to the most careful grip
man, and the company has To pay the
bills. 1t is believed that the moderate
rate of speed at which we are now run
ming, will greatly reduce the accident
| account. While the property will not
pay its expenses at six miles an hour,
or any other speed, 1t is hoped to re.
duce the monthly deficit without seri.
ously mountaineering the public.
