The public has become so accustomed to
the ell oyment of free sugar that 1t will be
inclined to look with suspicion upon any
move on the part Of those who handle it
that Will tend to increase the price. 1t
is announced that the trust, which is now
legalilcd as a corporation, has voted to in
crease It's capital stock by 595, 900, 600, and
this announcement is well calculated to set
consumers to thinking. Mr.. Henry Have
meyer in a long interview asserts that this
increase In the capital stock Is made for the
purpose OF enabling the sugar people to re-
gain control OF the twenty five por cent of
the trade which it lost when the trust was
declared illegal and the corporation was or
gauizc1. Acco, dug to this statement it
will cost the trust 81 900, 900 to regain each
one per cent of the trade said to have been
lost which is we'll calculated to make
the public smile 1t 10 believed as n matter
of fact that the sugar people by this increase
really intend to absorb or crush out all riv-
airy and the probabilities are that before
many months the Philadelphia sugar rein
cries owned by Claus Spreckes will no
longer be at odls with the trust. a comb
nation of this nature might not mean any
change in price, but the chances are that n
complete monopoly would lead to rise in
price of sugar

The Chiiian Trouble.

The action of the administration in deal
acterzed by moderation that almost Dor
dered upon dilatoriness, but great advantage
will result to this government from the de-
lay. Firmly convinced that it twas in the
right, our government could well afford to be
slow in enforcing it's demands upon Chilli,
and other nations can not fail to be impress
ed, as result, with the fact that Uncle
Sam is not disposed to take advantage Of
great strength and uubJundal resources TO
exact his rights from weak neighbor, much
less inlct a wrong. Having exhausted ev-
cry reasonable pcaceable means to siniuce
the Gillian government to make due repair
alton for the insults and injuries inflicted
upon citizens of the United States, our gov
eminent will he fully justified in taking any
harsher measures which may be necessary
to insure the respect which the American
flag deserves
1t must be admitted that the demands Of
the United States in this matter as
shown by the Presidents message
printed elsewhere can not be CON
sdered as either unusual or extreme.
of this country and which has just been sub
mitted to the GILLIAN government contained
three specific demands. The first was for
an apology for the murderous assault upon
the Baltimore's sailors in the streets OF Val
paralso The second was the requirement
of an indemnity TO the sailors who were
njurei and to the families OF those who
were killed by the mob. The third demand
was that the insulting Malta circular OF last
month should be Withdrawn absolutely.
Tho complianc, Of the Gillian govern
ment with these demands would be in strict
accordance with the principle. of interua-
tionai comfy and our government could not
do otherwise consistently than resort TO arms
II necessary, to enforce its claims ami rights
The tone of public utteraEcos at " ashing
ton and OF the press throughout the country
shows that there is a strong sentiment in
| favor Of upholding our national dignity by
an appeal to arms If necessary, and Con-
! gress, to whom President Harrison has sub
mlted the matter, will undoubtedly be largely
| influenced by tie general expression Of this
sentiment. 1t is not improbable that a hos
! tile move on the part Of the United States
! will lead Chill to conce1e the demands OF
our government, but Judging from the delay
| that las ensued some action will be nccas-
sary on the part OF this country TO show
that it means business, even to the extent of
! war
1t is to be hoped, however, that wiser
counsels will prevail with our Southern
neighbor. 1t is evident that the relations
a.,
cut humiliation to either and 1t is NANTES Il y
for the interest Of both that the trouble
reach a peaceful solution.

Senator Sherman has just been in ter
viewed by the Brooklyn Eagle in relation to
the possibilities of silver legislation in this
Congress. Among other things the senator
said 81 don't see that there are any pos
sibiites at oil TO my mind there is no
occasion for change in the situation as it
exists. OF course. there are men who are
SO Wooded to their idols, as far as silver is
concerned, that they cannot see what an
immense evil to the country Imitation would
mean. I have always advocated a conser-
vative course, an even way, not putting one
metal rs a material of coinage above an
other By other than the actual pur ,hasing
price. We cannot, without international
cooperation, change the ratio at which sill
yer is held to gold. ! think the present law,
limiting the coinage of silver to what must
bo considered a just basis, is wise, AMI that
the country will appreciate the fact before
this Congress gets through with its labors. ~

Nineteen bodies have been taken from the

offices were wards for babes and mothers.
The flames spread with awful rspidity and
In q short time pendemonium reigued. The
cries of the crippled patients, many of whom
were helpless in their cots, were terrible to
hear.
The fremen and citizens did noble work
and carried out at least 125 crippled in

the windows and were seriously injured.
AT restaurant near by, where about %
patients were carried, the sight was pitt
full one. Lying on improvised beds, spread
on tables, meaning and weeping, were little
children whose throats were rasped with
tho pungent smoke they had inhaled. Many
hsartrsndng aud terrible scenes were wit
messed during the fire. Tue fremen found
