SUGAR TRUST WINS.
Suit of the ArbuckIe Brothers Againt 1t Is
Decided.


Toledo, O., March 2S.-The long ex-
pected decision of Judge Morris OF the
common pleas court in the suit OF Ar
buckle Bros. against the sugar trust
was delivered Monday morning, and 1t
is in favor of the latter. The suit was
brought by Thomas j. Kuhn and the
Arbuckles, owners of a minority OF
stock in the Woolson Spice company
of this city against the Woolson Spice
company and the leading stockholders
in the American Sugar Refining COM
pany for the appointment of receiv-
er for the Woolson company. the ma
jority of whose stock has been bought
by the Havemeyers of the sugar trust.
The plaintiffs declared that the sugar
trust purchased this stock to injure Ar
buckle Bros and to compel them from
going into the sugar refining business
that the business is being run at loss.
and therefore the protection or the IN
terests of the minority stockholders re-
quired that a perpetual injunction DE
made against the Woolson's selling cof-
fee at a loss, and that receiver be
appointed to conduct the business.
Judge Morris opinion is very volum-
inous, covering twenty-eiSht typeWrls'
ten pages. He holds that the matter oi
! the price at which the company may
sell its coffee strictly pertains to the In

even though the minority stockholders

would indicate different polity.
The testimony, however. showed tina
the Woolsons were selling at a fail
margin of profit. The application 10
a perpetual INDUCTION is therefore denied
( With regard to the other point the cour
, holds that the agreement of the major

Commissioner of the General Land Office.
Washington, March 23.-What will go
down to history as the tariff debate OF
1897 began in the house at 10 O'CLOCK
Monday morning. Despite the early
hour of assembling. there was large
attendance on the floor, and the gal
leries showed evidence of the great In
terest manifested in the proceedings.
Dngley and Bailey, the opposing lead
ers, were early in their places. BY the
terms of the rule under which the house
was to operate during the consideration
of the bill, the house Immediately re-
solved itself into committee OF the
whole and the speaker conferred upon
Sherman of New York the distinguished
honor of presiding over the committee.
Those who expected the debate to be-
gin Immediately were disappointed
Bill Read In Full.
The leaders decided not TO dispense
with the reading of the bill, but to have
IL read in full at the outset, In order
to disarm the criticism passed on pre-
vious bills that they were put through
without even having been read In the
house The spectators in the galleries
and the members on the floor waited
while the clerk droned through the l63
pages of the bill. The reading of the
bill consumed a little over two hours
so 1t was 1890 before the leader or the
majority, Dingley, was recognized 10

very strong, and he usually has some
difficulty in making himself heard put
Monday he spoke with great denpera-
ton and his tones were clear and ring
ing. Dingley was followed by General
Wheeler of Alabama, who opened tor
the minority.

"The Old Testament contains all va

in Genesis has been proved over ana
over again to be not the real order or
creation. The old Hebrews thought
the world was fiat.
"The Old Testament upholds poly
ramy. defends human slavery teaches
the doctrine of retaliation. and enforces
false moral ideas. David. chosen one
of God, was a man of treachery and
