SUGARPLUNG1D AWAY DOWN
Presidents Message Had Depressing
Effect Upon the Stock.
TWO AND AHALFPER CENT. LOST
General Tone of the Market Was Strong and
Steady Notwithstanding the Slump in
sugar-Advance Recorded al AIcng the
Line, Improvement Continuing to the Close.

New York, Dec. 3.-The controlling in
fluence in the stock market to-day was the
Presidents message. This fact was evidened
by the course of Sugar stock and by the
heavy selling therein. Sugar opened Il
higher but was Immediately forced down rs
per cent, to S455. At the lower figures bull
movement was started and good buying
carried the price up 21s per cent, to S65l.
But the improvement was not maintained and
on large offerings the stock broke per cent.
to S29I, the low point OF the day, but the
stock took an upward turn, rallying Z per
cent, to SS54 with a final reaction OF Is, max
ing decline on the day of 255s per cent.
Despite the influence Of the depression in
Sugar, the general market was fairly we'll
held during the morning and early afternoon
and recorded a general advance, the improv-
ing tendency continuing to the close.

TIE MESSAGE.

Probably the most apt criticism to be
passed on President Clevelands message Is
that il lacks the self-assertive, opinionated
style that has heretofore characterized his
messages 10 Congress. and that it Is also free
from the platitudes and catch phrases that
have made him noted as public man.
His message may be divided into three
heads-a collaboration Of the reports Of his
Cabinet officers, an explanation OF his foreign
policy and praise for tariff reform and Sec
retarv Carlisles financial scheme.
Ofthe reports Of the Cabinet officers and Of
Mr.. CIeveland's foreign policy nothing should
be said. The results OF the recent elections
pronounce a verdict far from complimentary
TO tie administration. and nc report or ex-
PLANTATION will serve 10 change that verdict no
matter how fattering it may be 10 those whom
it concerns. But Mr.. CIeveland's tariff and
financial recommendations deserve more
than passing notice.
IN plain and unmistakable language ne ad-
vises putting coal and iron on the free list
and an immediate abrogation Of the ditTeren-
ual duty on refined sugar, which has caused
both Germany and Denmark to close their
ports to live and dressed meat from tnis
country President Cleveland weakens his
recommendation Dy not boldly advising Con-
gress TO remove all duties on refined sugar and
in that way put an end to the charge that he
favors legislation in the interest Of the sugar
trust
Secretary Carlisle's monetary scheme.
which President Cleveland indorses in such
unequivocal terms. viii bear close investiga-
ton. On its face it looks like new banking
system that will to an extent, withdraw silver
from circulation. replace the bond system Of
security deposits without furnishing an ade-
quate substitute, and establish banking syn
dlcate that would prove far more powerful
and burdensome than our present system Of
national banks.
Perhaps the most pleasing paragraph in
the entire message is Mr.. CIevelaud's asser-
tion that he is willing to cooperate in per-
fecting any legislation that tends to the pros
perity and welfare OF our country Judging
from former messages and his experience with
the last session Of Congress. such an express
sion is both unexpected and understandable.
But it indicates a peaceful session OF Con-
gress and greater harmony in Democratic
councils

HABEAS CORPUS DENIED.

Tho Maid douado Brothers Trying to Keep
Out of the P~nitentiary.
Judge Ross in the United States dis
trict court yesterday denied petition
for writ of habeas corpus presented by
council for Victor and Francisco NAL
donado. They were convicted OF placing
distractions, in October, 1893, on the
track of the Terminal railroad, and sen-
fenced by Judge Smith to five years
each. An appeal was taken to the su-
preme court and the judgment affirmed.
The theory of the petitioners was that
inasmuch as the jury in its verdict
found that the defendants did not in
tend by placing distractions on the
tract to derail the train, they, in effect.
acquitted them of the offense with
which they were charged, and therefore
the judgment is void.
Judge Ross decides that even If the
judgment be void, and he does not init
mate that it Is, the petitioners should
be put to their writ of error to the su-
preme court Of the state.
Yesterday afternoon Messrs. Horace
Bell and II. Ii. Appel presented q petit
tion for a writ Of habeas corpus to Judge
Van Dyke, based upon similar grounds,
and it was set by him for hearing next

all OF the available water supply upon

was also given to the effect that it is
customary for the railroad company to
furnish miners and other parties at and
between their stations with water for
their necessities, upon compensation
paid therefor, and that the poles and
other material can be distributed and
water furnished to the petitioner with
out any Inconvenience and in accordance
with the usual and ordinary method
OF transscting the business OF
the railroad between the Needles and
Mojave. That being 30. and there being
no valid contract preventing 1t. there
can certainly be no valid reason why the
receivers should not distribute the poles
and other material between stations for
q just compensation. 1t is in evidence,
and is also a matter OF common knowl-
edpe, that the erection of another line
of telegraph along the right OF way in

ATTRACTED BY OIL.

Large Manufacturer Coming to Look
Over the Field.
The news of the oil strikes in Los An.
geles has already reached distant places
and is doing a good work. 1t was stated
yesterday to HERALD reporter by good
end reliable authority that Gabriel Ed
mundston, wealthy contractor and
manufacturer of Washington, d. c.,
would be in this city before the end OF
the present month. His purpose ia to
investigate the field here with view to
putting in a very extensive sash. door
and blind factory and wood carving es-
tabliehment.
The proposition which lures Mr.. Ed
mundston here is that he can get a
cheap fuel for his plant from the oil
fields. Such an establishment as he
contemplates would employ from two to
three hundred hands constantly.
