Grows Worse as It Goes to Sea.

New London, Conn, January 3O.-The
storm today on the Sound has been the
most severe since the hurricane of Octo-
Der 14th last, when great damage was
wrought by the sea and wind ali along
the coast At this station the barometer
went down to $3.50, the lowest since
February 2s, 1898, when the same point
was reached. The velocity of the wind
here was thirty-two miles an hour at
noon. At intervals it came in puffs and
showed much greater power. Nearly all
day the storm was SO dense that vessels
in the harbor were shut out from view.
Not sail entered or left port. The storm
shows increased energy as it leaves the
coast and goes to sea, where it will go on
record as one of the great storms.

\ THE SUGAR TRUST WINS.
Judge Butler Rules that the Absorption

In ~
Philadelphia, January 30.-Judge But
Ter, in the Tinted States Circuit court
this morning,Td in favor of tn e
sugar trust intthetsuit brought by the
government to have set aside as illegal
the taking of the Philadelphia refineries
into the trust The bill of complaint
was dismissed.
Judge Butler holds that the absorption
of the E. c. Knight company, tn e
Spreckles Sugar Refining company, the
Franklin Sugar Refining company and
the Delaware Sugar house of Philadel-
phia by the American Sugar Refining.
company, lis not conspiracy to restrain
or monopolize trade or commerce among
the several statesorwith foreign nations"
Judge Butler further says: "The federal
government possesses no jurisdiction over
the contracts, business or property of in
dividuals within the states except to col
Iect revenue for it's support Its powers
are derived exclusively from the con-
stitution. 1t has none other than such
as are directly or implicitly conferred by
that instrument and the.latter contains no
suggestion of any power to inter-meddle
with such property rights. BY the eighth
section of article one, Congress is en-
powered to regulate commerce with
foreign nations and among the several
states and with the Indian tribes.
Pursuant to this power, the statute of
1890 was enacted. AS the terms en-
ployed show, Congress was duly c,reful
to keep within the limits gifts authority
1t is in trade aid commerce molg the
several states and with foreign nations
that the statute seeks to guarl against
restraint or monopoly. AS the contracts
and acts of the defendants relate exclu-
sively to the acquisition of sugar re-
fineries and their business in Pennsyl
vania, they have no reference and bear
no relation to commerce between
states or with foreign nations. The
contention of the government that such
monopoly incidentally secures monopoly
of commerce among the states is declared
unsound and the deduction I'M
warranted"
The government will appeal the case to
either the Circuit Court of Appeals or
the Supreme Court of the United States.

tions.

Providence, R. l., January 3O.-The
General Assembly met this morning. at
the time to which Gov. Brown pro1ogued
it last June. The Senate was called to
order by the Governor and the House was
notified that the Senate was ready for

was read. A resolution from the House
to join it in grand committee to count

son to alter his opinion regarding the adj
visibility of making certain changes in
the system of voting, particularly in the
direction of improving the form of the
ballot, regulations regarding it's mark
ing, the duties of supervisors and the
method of canvassing the voting lists.
Continuing, he says: "The extraordinary
legislative experience of last May has not
been entirely devoid of good. if it has
moved the people to give their emphatic
approval of the proposition to substitute
the plurality vote for the majority in all
of our elections" The Governor recon-
mends submitting to the people consti-
tutional amendment providing for
elections by plurality.

BLEW rs MILES AN HOUR.
Only One Storm as Severe as This Remem-
bered in Eastport.

PASSPORT, January 3o.-The easterly
storm which began here last night at
eight o'clock, with possibly one ex-
ception, was the most severe storm in
this section since the famous Saxby gale
of 1869, The possible exception was the
blizzard of March 10, 1888, which played
such havoc on the Atlantic coast,
especially in New York city. The gale at
night began at about eight o clock, when
the thermometer at the weather bureau
station recorded thirty miles an hour
The velocity increased rapidly, reaching
ffty-four miles, from the northeast at
midnight. 1t was then increasing and
the wind soon blew mile minute,
reaching at an early hour this morning,
the maximum velocity of seventy-five
miles an hour The barometer during
the twenty four hours fell from 80. so to
%. 81 inches and is still falling. The
snow fall was not very heavy, but what
fell drifted badly. What few vessels were
in port pounded hard against the
wharves. The big freight barge J. M.
Todd of Calais, was lying. at Union
wharf. She pounded SO hard that she
upset coal stove, setting her on flr@,
but prompt action by the crew extin-
guished the flames and no doubt saved
the city from disastrous conf1agration.
Anderson's lumber wharf was nearly
destroyed by the heavy sea and east
wind Small schooners belonging to
Capt. Sherburne, Capt. Ellis and Capt.
John McMasters were badly damaged,
the latter's vessel having the stern
knocked out. Schooner Lucy Amelia,
Capt. John Cassidy, lying at Grads
DOCK, was badly damaged and her bow
spirit broken. Schooner VIM. V. Hutch
ings, anchored in the lower bay at
Lubec, dragged ashore. Several windows
were blown in and several chimneys
were blown down. The damage along
the coast further east must be consider
able, but as yet nothing has been heard.
