ceives the New Hawaiian Minister.

Washington, Dec. I'm the Senate,

Allen addressed the Senate in support Of
It, He spoke of the Importance of the

point OF view, and declared his belief in
the proprlety of promptly recognizing the
reVo!utionists of Cuba and assisting
them, in all lawful ways, to secure their
Independence and establish a republic
He believed in the Monroe doctrine and
thought that the people were dissatisfied
with the foreign policy pursued for the
past 20 years. He thought that it had
been dilatory, if not absolutely trivial and
contemplate
He did not believe in brilliant
foreign policy but in sensible and
efficient one that would command the re-
specs of the entire civilized world. and
would draw to its support American citi-
zens regardless of political alignment
No action was taken on the resolution,
which went to the calendar. The Senate
proceeded to executive business and, at
100, adjourned till tomorrow.
The Senate in executive session did
nothing but refer to the proper commit
tees the recess appointments sent in, to-
day.

Business in New York.
counsel Denies That 1t In ANY Way Illegally
Does Business.

New York, Dec. 4.-Tne papers in the
SUIT to restrain the American Sugar Re-
inning Co 1.-THE Sugar Trust) from doing
business in this state, were served en-
John K. Sear]es, the treasurer, today
John +. Parsons, counsel for the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Co, afterward said:
The papers proct ed upon the idea that
the American Sugar Refining Co. is a
combination of the large number of pre-
Viously existing corporations and indi-
Vioual sugar refiners that this combna-
zion constitutes monopoly and is in vio-
lation of law. There are further alIega-
tlons, all for the purpose of establishing
that the company is monopoly.
The fact is that the American Sugar
refining Co. is the only corporation now
existing, All the preceding corporations
have been dissolved and are out of exist
ence. There is no law preventing cor
poration from acquiring property which
previously belonged to other individuals
and companies.
Anybody can carry on the business of
sugar refining in this state or anywhere
else, so far as the American Co. is con-
cerned. 1t never, made any contract or
agreement to the contrary Any one can
buy sugar from the American Co. or any
other retiner Or seller Any one can sell
at any price he likes
The petition was brought to this city by
Lawyer Thomas K. Wood of Syracuse
who stated the petition was the result of
concerted action by the retailers of the
state to overthrow the American Sugar
Refining Co., many of them having been
shut off by that corporation from handling
their goods, through the appointing of
agents of their own selection.
As the American Co controlled the
market, they were left entirely without
that staple article in their stock. He adj
United that behind the petition were men
of considerable strength and large capital.

There were no casualties. Much furniture
and Supdry city property was damaged
by water.
The fire was in the cable room of the

He was 20, and had recently completed
IA course of SIX years at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, had been studying
hard of late, and his health was not good.
He had never before been absent without
notifying his parents and his wandering

COLLAPSE OR FIRE?
Peculiar Point Between Underwriters and
Burned Out Concerns at indianapolis.

indianapolis, Ind Dec "A peculiar
controversy was developed between the
insurance companies and the concerns
burned out during Tuesdays big fire
There is a question as to whether the fire
was caused by the collapse of the floor or
the collapse was caused by fire. The EN-
ployes of Schnull q Co, the chief losers,
claim that the flames broke out after the
collapse, and the insurance companies,
taking this as their cue, may refuse to
pay the policies, which do not insure
against damage caused by collapse. As
the total loss is fully $500, 900, legal
fight is not improbable.

which has been occupied for years past by
British colonisrs.
This was predicted upon the declaration
made by the British ambassador. Sir
Julian Pauncefote, last spring, that Great
Britain could no more arbitrate her con
troll of the territory now claimed by her
than she would arbitrate her sovereignty
of Essex and Sussex counties in England.
