THE SUGAR TRUST AGAIN.
It Is Accused OF Trying to Buy Up the
WashInEton Correspond ents-

Washington Correspondents
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-The Evening
Star publishes the following story,
which 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 at the
foot of articles published in many
cities of the union, who may have
very unpleasant quarter of an hour
with the Washington correspondents
before the next session of congress
shall end The story has reached
here, vOuched for by authority that
would seem to be credible, that
one Of the incidents of the
sugar trust campaign in Washin gton
last winter was the raising of a purse
by the sugar trust people to be given
to this interesting correspondent to
be distributed in Washington among
the press people where it would do
the most good. in the opinion of those
who furnished the money And that
place was the pocket of those rep pre-
sentatives of the press of the country
here, who, with or without right. are
supposed to have influence in congress
and in the making of public opinion
throughout the country There are
limitations even that the men who
furnished the money did SO under
the impression that it was to be
dis tributed pro rata among the
representatives of the press in Wash
ingtOn in the expectation that the
CONNIE nts upon the operations of the
sugar trust would be either less Sc
we're or that they would be altogether
withheld. 1t is. of course, assumed
that the distributor of this fluid was
to receive his commission There are
intimati Ons even that list was fur
nished of the names of cores pOndents
to whom this fund was to be distrib-
uted and that the expe citation was
that it would be expended in pan in
dinners in part in other ways that
would be appreciated by those for
whom it was Intended
If there is anything in this story
it is safe to say that not one dollar Of
this alleged fund ever passed to the
correspondents for whom it is repre-
scented that it was designed. The
man who undertook to disburse tn is
fund did so with the full know ledge
that it would not be safe for him to
approach any of the gentlemen whose
names may have appeared on this pre-
tended list for any such purpose what
ever He not only cannot be on re-
latiOns of confidence with them, but
he never calls upon any of them when
in Washington
Efforts are being made to ascer-
tain the truth of this report. and if it
shall be found true some of the cor
respondents intend that he will hear
more later, possibly in the courts and
probably before q committee of in
vestigation.'
