WOOL GROWERS ROBBED.
They Have Suffered a Loss OF $lOO,'
100000 by Democracy's Tariff Law.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The annual
meeting of the National Association of
Wool Growers began here to-day. The
principal feature OF to-day's session was
the annual address of President w. Law
renee, of Ohio. who dwelt on the present
distressed condition OF the wool-growing
industry, and made various suggestions for
remedial legislation and for concerted ac-
ton to secure better protection TO the
growers. President Lawrence told the wool
men he did not expect any measure OF sat-
faction to wooden interests would be passed
by Congress until after the full revision
OF the tariff should be made He submit
ted long memorial, which he suggested
be adopted and presented to Congress. II
recites the loss to sheep breeders caused by
the free-wool schedule OF the Wilson tariff
law. and favors as temporary relief the
re-enactment OF the Mckinley schedule,
with slight notifications. Theodore JUS
tice. of Philadelphia. advocated this re-en-
actment as temporary relief, and said
the Mckinley wooden tariff had yielded for
three years an annual revenue OF S42 000, 900.
Placing wool on the free list, he said, had
so far caused loss of slOO,OO0UO to the
wool growers. The re-enactment of the Nc
Kinley schedule, he urged, should take eff

ATTACK ON A TRUST
WAR BEGUN ON THE AMERICAN ST.
GAR REFINING COMPANY.
Suit to Restrain the Concern from Do
ing business in New York state
What Secretary searles Says.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Recent rumors of
an impending legal attack on the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company crystallized
to-day when papers were served on Secre-
tary John r. Searles in suit TO restrain
the company from doing business in this
State. Rumors were also current that SINH
lar proceedings would be taken in Massa-
chusetts. The opinion in the street was
that the attacks were inspired by the same
motives those ..1verning the opposition
to the consolidation plan of the Chicago
gas companies. The action taken did not
affect the price of the stock, which closed
at a gain OF per cent. over yesterdays
final figures.
MIR. John Z. Parsons, of counsel for the
American Sugar Refining Company, was in
terviewed in regard to the suit, and said: II
have only glanced over the papers. They
Sugar Refining Company is combination
of the large number of previously existing
corporations and individual sugar refners;
that this combination constitutes a mo-
nopoly, and is in violation of law. There are
further allegations. all for the purpose of
establishing that the company is mo-
nopoly. Any one can make an application
to the Attorney-general. Any one can
serve papers on such an application. The
alleged are true, and whether, if true. they
make out a case. The fact is that the
American Sugar Refining Company is the
only corporation now existing. All pre-
ceding corporations have been dissolved
and are out of existence. The organization
of the company followed the decision of the
Court Of Appeals in the case of the North
River Company. Ii is in direct conformity
with what l understand to have been es-
tablished in that case, and to have been
held in many other cases. Not only is there
no law which prevents corporations from
acquiring property. which previously be-
longed 10 other individuals or corporations.
but the statutes of this State and of New
Jersey make express provision that this
may be done. The company has always
been most careful that nothing should be
done to countenance the idea of a monop-
oily. Anybody can carry on the business of
sugar refining in this State, or anywhere
else, so far the American company is
concerned. 1t has never made any con-
tract or agreement TO the contrary. Any
one can sell at any prices he likes"
When asked to the person in whose
name the papers were served to-day Mr..
Parsons replied that the name of the ap
plicant was Hunt two names were filled
in. but he could not recollect the others.

A SHARP-WITTED CAT.

How He Got Rid of Dinner Which
Didn't Suit His Taste.
A correspondent of the London Spec

Persian cat, by the name of Prin. One
of his peculiarities is a disrelish of
meats unless they are roasted. The
cook undertook to break him of this
foolish whim. In short, she deter
mined to starve it out of him.
She set before him saucer of boiled
meat. Prin turned away from it in
disgust. Every WE'LL" said the cook,

For three days the cat went hungry,
the boiled meat remaining untouched.
But on the fourth morning the cook
found the saucer empty.
"Ah, Prin," she said, $50 you have
come to your meat"
That day the cat Jared sumptuously
on roast beef with plenty of gravy.
But on Saturday, when the potbpard
under the dresser was cleaned, the
