Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1896-12-22

Toledo, Ohio, Dec. 22.--The American
Sugar Refining company, better known as
the Sugar Trust, has closed deal for
1,10O shares of stock of the Woolson Spice
company, of this city, being eleven
eighteenths of it's total stock. The price
to be paid is $1,265,0OO.
The story behind this gigantic trans
action is an interesting one. Some Tins
ago, the Arbuckles, known as "the coffee
kings" branched out into sugar business
and became the competitors of the Sugar
Trust. At first the trust offered to buy
out the Arbuckles' plant.
Then the refining company concluded
to flank the movement of the Arbuckles,
and hence this deal. Representatives Of
the refining company opened negotiations
with the Woolson people, who are close
competitors of the Arbuckles in the coffee
business, and now tho Sugar Trust 7i..
tight the Arbuckles in the coffee line.
New York.-The report that interests
identified with the American Sugar Re-
fining company have obtained control of
the Woolson Spice Package company, Of
Toledo, with the view of retaliating upon
the Arbuckle Coffee company, because of
it's determination to build sugar refinery,
is confirmed to an extent by the fact that
the Woolson company, which is the sec-
ond largest roaster of coffee in the United
States, reduced the price of its product
yesterday q cent per pound.
This is most unusual occurrence and
is regarded in the trade as very signifi-
can't.

THE POWER OF CONGRESS.
Senators sherman, Davis and Daniel
Declare That Congress Can RecOg-
niZe Cuba Regardless Of the
President.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. %. The Com
mercial Tribune wired Senator Sherman
for his views on the power of congress- to
recognize the independence of Cuba, and
received this answer by wire:
Washington, d. C.-There is no founda-
tion for the statement that congress may
not, if it will, recognize the independence
of new nation, nor do | think Mr.. Olney
contests it, but he thinks the matter
ought to come from the president. If,
however, congress should pass a resoIu-
tion and the president should veto it, it
can be passed by two-thirds vote of
each house, and would become law,
which the president mut, respf aud
obey. Joh Oh .RMAN.
Cincinnati--Senator Davis, of Mime
sofa, telegraphs the following to the Com
mercial Tribune concerning Secretary
Olney's position on recognizing Cuba:
Washington.-I think that Mr.. Olney's
position is untenable. In my opinion
congress has the power by statute or by
joint resolution to recognize the inde-
pendence of Cuba. If the president ap-
proves the measure there can of course
be nc controversy. If he disapproves it,
and it is passed over his veto, it becomes
law of the land as etfectually as if he
had approved it, and his duty to execute
it is equally imperative in either case.
G. K. DAVIS.
The Commercial Tribune telearaphed
Judge Cooleys letter on the power to
recognize Cuba to Senator Daniel and
asked his opinion. He telegraphed AZ
follows:
Washington.-I concur in the opinion
expressed by Judge Cooley as set forth in
your telegram. JOHN w. DANIEL.
