Sugar Trust Stcc< Advanced SIS. SOC, 900,

Sugar Trust Stcc< Advanced $500, 900.
New York, July 2O.-The en-.
hancement of the property of the
Sugar Trust as the net advances of
the common and preferred stock
yesterday was about $5,5OO,OOO.
The accepted theory of Wall street
is that the squeeze was engineered
by clique of operators with more
or less knowledge of Washington
secrets, headed by James R Keene.
1t is believed that a heavy short
interest in the stock was left uncoy.
cred last night.
Ihs heavy purchase of sugar
stock by Standard Oil interests was
a feature of tie trading yesterday.
Many Wall street operators believe
that STANDARD Oil now controls
sugar. The sugar stock bought by
Standard Oil interests is not put on
the market again, SO that the amount
OF sugar stock available for active
trading is limited.

BY vote of 1S9 yeas to lis nays
the House adopted the report OF the
conference committee and completed
the consideration of the tariff bill
The bill now goes back to the Sen.
ate for ratification. Under the senate
rules the democrats can delay the
bill indefinitely if they 80 desire.
''The big rise in sugar is the prin
cipal topic of discussion in connec
ton with the conference report.
Chairman Dingley, in his explanation
to the House to day, made it clear
that the schedule adopted was much
nearer to the House schedule than it
was to the Senate. Several times he
was interrupted in the course of his
explanation with queries as to why,
if the HOUSE had won a victory on
this point. sugar continued to ad-
vance. He said he knew nothing
about stocks, and had no explanation
to offer; he simply desired to make
known the facts in the case.
Republicans are puzzled and to
some extent worried by the sharp
advance in sugar stocks after the
terms Of the compromise between
the House and Senate were made
known. Throughout the discussion
to day and to night the objection
raised again and again to the tariff
bill by the democrats was directed
against the sugar schedule, and the
sole argument was the advance of
sugar stock. One theory of the re-
publicans to account for this unex-
pscted action of the speculative
market is that the heavy importa-
tions, hundreds of thousands of
tons of raw sugar, insure the oppor
tunity for profits which Justify the
advance of the stock"

Tales of Alaska Riches Revive the Spirit o
forty-Nne.
Seattle, Wash, July 1S.-The ex
citement over the Klondyke mines is
on the increase and hundreds oil
| people are preparing to sail for
Alaska. The steamer Portland, which
brought down over S1,5OO, 1000 in
gold, is on her return trip and will
be crowded to her utmost capacity.
Conservative men who have been in
the country claim that there is room
for hundreds of men more in Alaska.
They admit that all of the fields in
vicinity of Klondyke have been taken,
but every river in Alaska is, in their
judgment, filed with gold, which
can be secured if the III IN are wiling
to risk the hardships.
Inspector Strickland of the Cana
dian mounted police, who came down
on the Portland, said: "When I left
Dawson City, a month ago, there
were about 800 claims staked out,
and there were between 1900 and
5000 in there. A safe estimate that
there was about S1,50O,O00 in gold
mined last winter The wages in the
mine were SIS day aud the saw
mill paid laborers $40 dav.
''Ths claims now staked out will
afford employment to about 5000
men, l believe. If a mau'is strong,
healthy and wants work he can find
employment at good wages Several
men worked on an interest, ON what
is termed lay and during the
winter I realized from $4,000 to $1O,-
900 each. The mines are 35 to 100
miles from the Alaska boundary"
A detachment of mounted police
OF the Northwest Territory, which
passed through Seattle two years
ago, struck it rich. Five of twenty
guards returned on the Portland
with gold amounting to 100000
The other fifteen remained in Alaska
to engage in mining.

Havana, July 1S.-Nearly Loco
, men employed in the navy ysrd and
arsenal at Havana went on a strike
yesterday morning. They refuse to
return to work until the six months
wages due them by the Spanish goy-
ernment are paid. The men have
not attempted any demonstration,
but are quietly determined not to
resume work until they get their
money Operations in the depart

The official statement as published
in the local papers places the mum

at the very least over 900. About

They comprise shipbuilders, boiler
