CONTEMPT OF COURT.
DERs AND HIS ASSOCIATES ARE
FOUND GUILTY
Of What Nins-tenths Of the American
Have in Their Hearts Contempt
Of Woods Court.

CHICAGO, Dec 15.-The trial Of Eu.
gene v Debs and other American Rail
way union leaders for contempt Of court
was finished yes tsrdSy In Federal Judge
Woods court, and the defendants were
found guilty as charged" Though the
finding has caused some surprise oveE
the country, It was expected among the
lawyers here.
The finding Of the court is that the de-
fendants are guilty Of contempt, but that
any puniRhmsnt inflicted would not bG
cum ulAtiyS. In othsE words, there Wsrs
two cases before the court, one for CON.
tempt, and the other for violation Of the
federal statute. The latter cause ia
merged into the former.
Debs was sentenced to six months in
che county Jail. The others on trial were
given three months each, except McVane
who was released because there was no
evidence against him.
Judge Woods, after announcing that
the defendants were found guilty 90
charged, said il Was not in accordance
with procedure in such cases TO permit
the defendants to say why sentence
should not be passed, but in this case the
court would allow it.
Attorney DsrroW, representing tho de-
PENDANTS, asked that his clients might
retire for q consultation regarding what
they should say, and after q brief recess
the strike leaders fled back into court,
ranging themselves before the bench,
Attorney DArrow, speaking FOR them,
said that they had no wish to make sep
arste speeches, but islt they had done no
wrong. The attorney advised the court
that Director McVAne, one OF tho de-
HendAnts, was out Of the city during the
strike.
A lengthy argument between Sttor.
nOys followed over tho proposition to
discriminate In McVRne'S favor, which
the court terminated BY SuSpending sem
tence on MoVane.

THE MBAT MONOPOLY Is AFTER
THE SUGAR TRUST,
And the Bankers Cannot Agree aS to the
Best Plan Of RObbing the Dear
People.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-For many days
it has been known here that the West

vested capital Of not less than 500 mil
lion dollars, are about to grsppls in
death.lock struggle with the sugar trust,
and that the direction Of the fighting 10

Morris and Swift, the Chicago kings Of
the meat trade.
The United States is to be the battle
ground, and unless the program misCar'
rles Che encounter between these oolOs-
sci interests will furnish the browning
sensation OF the short session OF con-
gFees. Free sugar is a necessity for free
expectation Of meat products to the
great consuming markets Of Europa
The imposition Of a duty on sugar was
promptly met by the raising OF an em-
barge against American beef by Ger
mRnyR Denmark and the spirit OF rO-
talistion is being encouraged by other
foreign nations with menaOing hearth
ness. The merits Of this question
have been pretty thoroughly &C.
oeded and mention is only required
in this connection TO emphasize the
point that Germany has indicated
clearly that she does not propose tore
Ceds from the position taken with regard
to American meats until the. .discriminS.
tion against the beet sugar interests OF
the German empire 10 removed. The
German commercial intrigue is tanning
the flame Of hostility throughout Europe
toward American meats and q renewal Of
the old vindictlve and general warfare
against the American meat products on
the part Of Old World nations Ia not
only threatened but felt to be imminent.
The American meat trade with foreign
countries Rpproximates $50 million dol
lars q year and anything that threstens
its mighty business in a vital or impor-
tant way instantly touches the pockets
OF one Of the most powerful and fight
ing combinations in existence.

BosToN, Feb. &c paul Jones, the
young man who is going TO try to circle
the earth in enc year and bring back
with him $1,000 made entirely on the
way, has started in to win his bet. He
went into a heated room in the Boston

clothing, and at the call of time was
considered on his way around the world.
OF course he could not leave the club
house in his naked condition, and he is
still there, where he will remain until
he has earned enough money to buy
suit of clothes. He has already COM
menced to do that, however, by giving
an exhi5ition of some clever tricks in
imitation of Herman, the magician,
for which he charged the small admis-
sion fee of cents. He also did trick
of making a chair rock without visible
physical effort for small contribution
from some of the club members. AS
soon as he gets suit of clothes he says
he will hire small hall and give few
lectures to earn enough to pay his fare
to New York, where he will try to get
work on some newspaper and watch his
chance TO work his passage to Liver
pool. In the various European coun-
tries that he will have to visit he will
do anything and everything to earn
money, except to steel or beg IT, and
he hopes to reach San Francisco in not
more than six months, when he will
lecture and exhibit his way to Boston,
hoping to arrive back here in one year.
