battleship Texas have not yet reached the

tensive alterations II Is very doubtful
whether the Texas can be again ordered

SUGAR TRUST STRIKES A sNAG
The Recent Election of Directors at
baltimore Illegal.

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 25.-The Sugar
Trust has encountered an unexpected OBJ
stacle to its control of the Baltimore
Sugar Refining Company. Lawyers, who
have been studying the situation, claim
that the recent election Of directors, which
resulted in the defeat of the old board,
composed of Baltimoreans, and the sub
stitution of a board in sympathy with the
trust was Illegal.
The old management was unanimous in
favor of starting the plant at Curtis Bay,
which is the best equipped plant of It's
size in the United States, as soon as pos
sible, and had made arrangements to be-
gin the manufacture of sugar by the mid
die of December, providing work for 800
men. The sugar trust wanted the plant
to remain idle and at the annual meeting
about two weeks ago, showed that 1t own
ed a majority of the stock of the Baiti-
more company, and therefore elected sue
cessors to the Baltimore directors. c.
Morton Stewart was the only resident of
Maryland elected a director, and as tho
laws of Maryland require that majority
of the directors be residents of this state,
1t is the opinion of several lawyers, who
have examined the situation for the mi
nority stockholders that the election is
void.
The sugar trust is now considering this
phase of the situation and 1t is reported
that 1t will call the stockholders together
again for the purpose of increasing the
Maryland representation in the board and
avoiding the legal complications, which
would almost certainly ensue.
The minority stockholders have not aban-
doned the movement to have the works
operated, and If the sugar trust does not
issue orders that Will start the plant up
and enable it to earn returns upon the
quarter of a million dollars or more stock
held in this city within a reasonable
length of time, legal steps will be taken
to enforce the right of the local interests,
A large minority stockholder, speaking
of the situation, said to-day: 1--WE have
no desire to go into court and we earnestly
hope that the sugar trust win not at
tempt to close the refinery. We will not
resort to law unless we are driven to it.,
but if we are forced to the wall we shall
protect ourselves. We are advised that
of the trust would be quickly dealt with
by the courts and that any minority hold
ings cannot be destroyed for the benefit
of the Sugar Trust"
New York, N. Y, Nov. 25.-Oficials of
the American Sugar Refining Company
say that the reslneries will close tonight
over Thanksgiving and may not start up
again until Monday next. The clerical

BRYAN's DENVER SPEECH.
Wants to Get the Business Men nnd
ToiIcrs I'm Line For 1000.

Denver, Col, Nov 25--It was very late
last night before Mr. Bryan began speak
ing at the banquet of the chamber of COM
merce in the Brown Palace hotel. He
began by stating that he seemed as la a
dream and could scarcely realize that It was
reality, ana then, launching out on his
speech, he said that when the people met a
man of their making, they placed him on
a pedestal for what they believed him and
not for what he really is.
"It frightens me-" he said, referring to
the free coinage question, when think
how many people there are in the country
who believe as we do. We believe that
we are for what Is best for all classes of
the people, and the oppressed Of all foreign
countries prayed for our sue
cess This issue goes down
deeper and towers up higher than
all others that have confronted us In
years. 1t is a grapple between the pro-
ducers Of wealth and the monopolists, and
the monopolists were the viotors, but the
masses were with US. We must go on
with this fight. We cannot stop it. De-
feat cannot change II. think we have
been successful in bringing our cause be-
fore the farmers of the country. l think
we shall be more successful In four years
more with the laboring men. We falled
in our campaign to reach the business
men, and / believe in the next four years
that we ought to give especial attention
to bringing our arguments before them.
Oh, If could but make them see as be
lieve l see 1t and understand. You busl-
ness men must understand" he said,
that the reason money is scarce when
you call at the banks, Is because the banks
have insisted upon policy that ties mon
ey up In the treasury at Washington that
ought to be in the banks to be loaned out.
He then concluded his speech upon nis
usual campaign lines He did not finish
until after o'clock this morning, and II
was nearly o'clock before he returned
to his room. He was up, however, few
minutes past g. and at $50 took special
train for Pueblo. A crowd was present
at the depot to bid him farewell. He was
accompanied to Pueblo by Gov. -elect AlYa
Adams and several other prominent Colo
radoans.

It is hardly probable that the Ameri-
can people are paying enough attention
just now 10 Mr.. Bryan's rear platform
speeches to note all the glazing absurdi-
ties and inconsistencies which they con-
tain. Having entirely abandoned the
discussion Of the free coinage question,
and having persistently declined to
state his position on the tariff, it can
hardly be expected that the American
people will continue TO manifest fur
Their interest in his u%tterances. Some
of his recent speeches, however, present
a~bsurdities that are an interesting IL
mstration Of the grotesque extremes Of
Inconsistency to which an Illogical mind
can go. On n occasion he declared
turers because they could go into the
market and buy silver with which to
pay laborers, and thus get labor as
CHEAP as the foreign manufacturer can
get it. On another occasion he promis-
ed hat the debtor could go into the
market and buy silver and have 1t coin
ed and thus lift his mortgage for so
per cent less than it requires on the
gold basis. On several other occasions
he has made the statement that free
coinage would bring the price Of silver
up from 65 cents to $1.29 an ounce,
bringing it up to par with gold at the
ratio Of 1s to 1. If MI. Bryan's election
is to bring the price Of silver up to S1.29,
