SUGAR TRUST TROUBLES.
Unexpectedly Prevented From Absorb
ing Baltimore Company.

Unexpectedly Prevented From Absorb
ing Baltimore Company.
BALTIMORE, MD, Nof. 25.-The
Sugar Trust has encountered an unex-
pected obstacle to it's control of the
Baltimore Sugar Company. Lawyers
who have been studying the situation
claim that the recent election of di-
rectors which resulted in the defeat of
the old Board, composed of BaltimOr-
cans, and the substitution of a Board
in sympathy with the Trust, was il
Illegal. The old management was unani-
mously in favor of starting the plant at
Curtis Bay as soon as possible, and
had made arrangements to begin the
manufacture of sugar by the middle of
December, providing work for 900 men.
The Sugar Trust wanted the plant to
remain idle, and at the annual meet
ing about two weeks ago showed that
it owned a majority of the stock of
the Baltimore company and therefore
elected successors to the Baltimore di-
rectors. G. Moreton Stewart was the
only resident of Maryland elected a
director, and as the laws of Mary
land require that a majority of the
directors be residents of this State, it
is the opinion of several lawyers who
have examined the situation for the
minority stockholders that the election
is void.
lie Sugar Trust is not considering
this phase of the situation, and it is re-
ported that it will call the stockhold-
ers together again for the purpose of
electing Maryland residents to the
Board and avoiding legal complications
which would almost certainly ensue.
The minority stockholders have not
abandoned the movement to have the
works opened, and if the Sugar Trust
does not issue orders that will start
the plant up and enable it to earn re-
turns upon the $25O,OOO or more stock
held in this city within a reasonable
length of time legal steps will be taken
to enforce the rights of the local in
terestS.

More Interviews in Relation to
MCKinIey's Hawaiian
Policy.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Ex-Secretary
of the Navy B. F. Tracy said today in
reference to the Hawaiian question:
Il regard Hawaii as the key of the
Pacific and under no circumstances
should we allow it to pass into pos
session of any other nation. It's value
as a cOaling station is inestimable."
Franklin Bartlett, Congressman
from New York, said:
Il am certainly in favor of the an
neXation of Hawaii when the people
apply for admission into the Union.
The conditions as to citizenship to be
imposed is a very important matter,
and should receive careful considera-
ton. Hawaii is of more Importance
to the United States for naval purposes
than for any other that l know Of"
Frederick r. Coudert, member of the
Venezuelan Commission, said:
Il do not favor the annexation of
Hawaii. l have written against the
idea and have at all times opposed it.
In explanation of Mr.. Coudert's re-
marks, it may be stated he is a staunch
admirer of President Cleveland, and it
is against the policy of the present adj
ministration to favor such scheme.

NIANLEY'S REMARKS.

Neutrality-suspicious. Attribute Them to
German ID. Gilman.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10
There is considerable speculation
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-12-10

among politicians as to the probable
attitude of the new administration.
when organized, toward the Hawaiian
question. There is general concur
renee among Republicans of promi-
nence in the idea that Maj. Mckinley
Will advocate and the Congress sup
port a plan which will bring Hawaii
into closer political relations with the
United States, but there is a question
whether the project will take the shape
of absolute annexation or a less radi-
cal form of suZerainty.
The Republican platform. as adopted
at the st. Louis Convention, referred
to the Hawaiian question as follows:
The Hawaiian Islands should be con-
trolled by the United States, and no
foreign power should be permitted to
interfere with them" Some Repub-
licans construe the phrase controlled
by the United States" TO mean an
neXation outright as the only sensible
and feasible plan of control.
In this connection, there is a report
current to the effect that ii is Mai.
McKinley's purpose to urge the inn
mediate annexation OF Hawaii in his
first message to Congress. This report
comes in a roundabout way, and gives
Mr.. Joseph Manley of Maine as the
authority for Maj McKinley's alleged
intention. The story is that Mr.. Cor
man ID. Gilman of Boston received a
letter from a resident of Hawaii, quot
ing the contents of a letter from an
Augusta, Me, friend, who said Mr.
Manley had told him that the anneXa-
ton plan was matured and already de-
cided upon by Maj Mckinley.

slderations decide national questions
1t is perfectly right that it should be
so, on many grounds, which need not
be entered into at length. 1t is one
OF the strongest that peace must be
preserved, OF business will suffer
bringing with it much personal mis-
cry and loss of property 1t is this
principle which decides all European
questions today, and there is no rea-
son why it should not be applied here
1t is also quite evident from Mr.. Isen-
berg's letter that commercial reasons
control. This is not to his discredit.
But 1t seems to me, and to many 9TH
ers. that the contract labor question
ought not to decide the question of an
nexatiOn. 1t is assumed as a matter
of course, that with annexation. it
must go.
The share planting system, in vogue
at Eva, and elsewhere, | am informed,
was suggested as an eXpedient. 1t is
not perfect, but it seems to answer a
steady labor supply, where it is in
force The labor contract system has
advantages to the labOrer which seem
to me quite as great as to the planter,
but on the whole it is a bad thing
socially and politically, and those who
make their homes here will rejoice,
by and by, if not yet, at it's abolition.
Annexation will bring the Chinese
under the operation of the exclusion
adt, but not the Japanese, and there
does not appear to be any reason why
they should cease coming here, or that
they will not come, as they do now, so
long as they comply with the United
States laws against pauperism which
are similar to ours. If they do come,
the argument about labor falls.
/ trust this matter will be discussed
upon it's merits. 1t does not require
inuendoes or personalities to disguise
the merits of annexation. They are
sufficient of themselves.

CAPT. APPLETON TALKS.
Importance of the Islands to United
States Dwelt Upon.

| Importance of the Islands to United
states Dwelt Upon.
BOSTON, MASS, Nov. 17.-Capt
Nathan Appleton of this city has just
returned from a two-months' trip in
Honolulu and Hawaii, observing with
trained eye the social and political
conditions. He said in an interview:
THE important part the Hawaiian
Islands must play in the future of the
development of commerce in the Pa
cific Ocean is evident. want greatly
felt there now is Geographic communi-
cation with the rest of the world, and
the beginning of supplying this need
should properly be a cable to our Cali
fOrnia Coast.
after recommending such cable
communication with the Islands dur
ing his first term in the White House,
Mr.. Cleveland so changed his views
during the second term that he actual
ly recommended one of the uninhabit-
ed Islands to Great Britain as a place
for a cable to be landed If this were
granted them, it is pretty certain that
one of their first acts would be to hoist
the British flag there, and that done it
is not probable they would haul it down
y
to be done with ours.
80 now the question is presented:
What is to be the future of this group
of Islands, known as "the Paradise of
the Pacific?" They cannot go back
ward-their career must be forward
You hear nothing unkind said of the
former Queen, Liliuokalani, but she is
no longer a factor in the problems

her place among the many ex-crowned
heads that have taken part in the
worlds history"
DETROIT, MICH, Nov 17.-At the
session of the General Missionary Com
mittee of the NJ. z. Church on Monday,
in the discussion of the work in Ha-
wall, the annexation of that country
was touched on, several bishops favor
ing it. Bishop Hurst, however.
claimed that annexation would be a
grave mistake and declared that the
people of the United States would vote
it down if submitted to them.

VENEZUELAN QUESTION.
Disputes Practically Settled Formalities Yet
TO Be Observed.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. 25.-
Without there being any direct official
advices on the matter it is very APP
parent that the report of the VeneZu-
elan Commission, which is now vir-
tually completed, will be in the pos
session of the President prior to the
completion of the forthcoming mes
sage to Congress.
How the character of the Commits
sions report may be changed from it's
present standing, in view of the friend
ly atIICude of this country and Eng
land toward each other in the settle
ment of Venezuela's trouble, is sub
ject of some official and diplomatic in
terest. That point appears to await
official reports from the Government
of Caracas.
Should an agreement between Great
| Britain and the United States prove ac-
| ceptable to Venezuela, the incident will
be tremendously and finally closed in
| all quarters, and not tend to a recall
| ing of past acrimony and recitals of
more or less national disagreement that
would appear should circumstances
call for detailed statements of the nu-
merous points involved in the con-
troversy as considered by the Com
missioners. In the event of the South
American Republic cordially acquies-
cling in the decision of the two great
powers bearing the brunt of the dis
sensions formal report only will be
necessary.
Judge Brewer of the Commission was
in consultation today with Secretary
Olney, presumably on the subject, but
he declines to give any indication what
ever of the purposes of his visit TO
the State Department.

Suddenly Leaves Field OF BattIe-Rebels
JubIIant.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-The sympa-
thizers with the Cuban cause in this
city were very jubilant over the news
that Capt.-Gen. Weyler had returned
to Havana. Several reasons are given
for the Generals action in withdraw
ing from the field, one of them being
that Marquis Ahumada, who took
charge of affairs in Havana during the
absence of Gen. Weyler did not prop
erIy conduct the war. The Cubans all
agree that Weyler's campaign in Pinar
del Rio has been a failure.
Senior Estrada Palma, President of
the Junta, in an interview with a re-
porter today, said Il think Gen. Wey-
Ter has disgraced himself by leaving
the field, for, although he had over
three times the number of men at his
command that Maceo has in Pinar del
Rio, he has not accomplished his
ayowed purpose to crush the reyolu-
tiOnists.
The information has come to me,
he continued, that the insurgent
forces, under Gen. CaliXto Garcia, have
beseiged Puerto Principe, the fourth
largest city in the island, which they
now practically control, has, l believe,
had something to do with his return,
for he is needed in Havana to direct the
entire movements of the Spanish
Army"

VICTORIA, Nov. 16.-Having made Vic
tOria and Esquimalt harbors impregna-
bic, the British war office is now taking
another step in making Esquimalt one
of the strongest strategic points in the
Empire. In a letter from Admiral Ste
phensOn, just received, it was stated that
the ships in the North Pacific squadron
would soon be replaced by modern war
ships, among them being at least one Of
the first class, like the Powerful or the
Terrible. Not only that. but il is intend
ed to fortify every pregnabIe point along

The Granite State Provideni Association

The Granite State Prevalent Associa-
ton was licensed to do business in the
State of Maine, February TO- 1892, under
the provisions of chapter 70 OF the Public
Laws of 1891.
At the time it ceased doing new bust
ness here it had outstanding in the State
1891 shares owned by 3i64 share
holders, who have paid to the association
an estimated amount Of $500, 10000. 1t
also had loans within the State to the
amount of 1914, 200 90, of which it held
$40, 070. 90, the balance having been sold
