SUGAR TRUST COIN

Correspondents.

Who Was Commissioned for Its

SOME VERY ANGRY PRESS MEN.

SOME VERY ANGRY PRESS MEN.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 29.-The Evening
gives promise of an outcome of interest to
the public:
If current reports are true there is a
syndicate writer in New York. whose
name is to be found al the foot of articles
in many cities of the Union, who may
have very unpleasant quarter of an hour
with the Washington CORES pondents be-
fore The next session of Congress shall
end. The story has reached here. vouched
for By authority that would seem to be
edible, that one of the incidents of the
sugar trust campaign in Washington last
winter was the raising OF a purse by the
sugar trust people to be given TO this en-
terprisiDg correspondent, and to be dis
triouted In Washington among the press
people where sit would do the most good"
in the opinion OF those who furnished the
money. That place was the pockets of
those representatives of the press of the
country here who. with or without right.
are supposed TO have influence in Con-
grass, and in the making OF public
opinion throughout the country. There
are intimations even that the men who
furnished the money did so under the i'm
preston that it was TO be distri bnted pro
rata among the representatives of the
press in Washington. in the expectation that
the comments upon the operations Of the
sugar trust would be either less severe. or
that they would be altogether withheld.
II is, of course, assumed that the dis
tributor of this fund was to receive his
commission. There are intimations that a
list was furnished of the names of CORE
spondents to whom this fund was TO be
distributed. and that the expectation was
that it would be expended part in din
nerS, and in part 10 ways that would be
appreciated by those for whom it was in
tended.
If there is anything in this story it is
safe to say that not one dollar of this
alleged fund aver passed to the repre-
sentative correspondents for whom it Is
represented that it was intended. The
man who undertook to disburse this fund
did so with the full knowledge that it
would not be safe for him to approach any
OF the gentlemen whose names have ap-
peared on this pretended list for any such
purpose whatever. He not only is not Oh
relations of confidence with them, but he
never calls UPON any of them when in
Washington.
Efforts are being made to ascertain the
truth Of this report, and IL Il shall be
found true some of the correspondents IT.

Mr.. Cheney's appointment TO this re-
sponsibie position will be hailed with ex-
pressions of genuine goodwill by his many
friends in San Francisco. San Francis s
loss will undoubtedly be Cnicago's gain,
and the Free Public Library of This city
will lose a competent and valued worker.
The committee of the famous Newberry
Library have been searching for several
months past for a worthy successor to
the late DR.. W. +. Poole aud Mr.. Cheney's
appointment TO the post is fitting tribute
to his undou bted ability iu this special line
of work.
His app0in tment was recommended by
Franklin n. Head and George E. Adams,
composing the dominating committee OF
the trustees, and at a recent meeting of
the board held 10 Chicago Mr.. Cheney re-
ceved five of the seven votes cast. The
position is such an important one, how
ever, that the trustees determined TO defer
the election until a larger attendance could
be had. The recommendations furnished
by the Californian were of the highest
order. and included the unanimous in
dorsement of the faculty of the Stanford
University. and also Aldace f. Walker.
receiver of the Atcbison. Topeka and San ia
Fs Railroad, who had known him for
many years.
Considering that there were more than
twenty candidates for the position, Mr..
Cheney has reason 10 feel proud of his
election.

his annual report the Commissioner re-
views the Long case at some length, 10
which he says:
This case has attracted wide attention,

DOunced the bureau and myself for alleged
arbitrary and illegal proceedings 10 the re-
