The Sugar Trust is again in the fore on
account OF the tremendous rise in the stock
of the company during the last few days.
AS every one has predicted, nearly. the
rise above $50 has come, and as nearly
every one suggested, too, when it did come
1t was u large and rapid one. One hundred
and fifty nine was reached yesterday, OF
within a point of an even 90 points above

lnow freely predicted for the sugar COM

means q rise in the value OF the common
stock of the trust of ofS18,o00,0 900.
The causes for the Immediate advance
during the last few days are varioGsly
stated. 1t is suggested that Fer cent
| quarterly dividend on Sugar is among the
| sJrong probabilities, or g per cent year.
| The Immense surplus spoken of several

viGed among the stockholders some time In

| interesting suggestion as to the meaning

frequently In these columns. bought i'm

| than the Uavemeyer interest, at least it is
sufficiently large to make any desire on

public for wanting Sugar stock. With

Gen. John B. Clark, OF Missouri, chief
of the division of inspection and repair,
and C. r. McBlair, of Maryland, chief
OF the photographing division, at the re-
quest of Secretary Gage, rendered him
their designations yesterday. This action
was brought about by the economy OF
the last Congress, which reduced the ap-
preparation for the department Of the
supervising architect of the Treasury from
$3.50 200 to $210 600.
This reduction OF funds compelled the

OUR MINISTER TO ECUADOR
SAMPSON OF ARIZONA, LIKE
WISE OF COLORADO.
Transplanted from Ohio and a Spell
binder for McKinley-First APP
pointment Of This Nature from
Territory Since the Time of Lewis
Cass.
Especial to II. aerald.o

Washington, Sept. 20.-The president
has taken care of one more transplant
ed Ohio man, in the person Of Archi-
bald J. Sampson, eX-attorney general
of Colorado, now being in Arizona, who
goes as minister to Ecuador. He is
regarded as a great spellbinder on the
stump, and Senator hanna vigorously
pressed his candidacy upon the presi-
dent by way of reward for his work
on the stump in half a dozen states
last year. But far more important
than his speeches for the ticket was
the fact that as an original Ohio man
he helped to get the Arizona delega-
tlon in line for Mckinley, prior to the
st. Louis convention. 1t is many years
since any resident of a territory became
a foreign minister. Some well informed
persons at the state department insist
that it has not happened since General
Lewis Cass was sent to France in 1897.
a. j. Sampson is at present a resi-
dent of Phoenix, AriZ., but ne formerly
resided in Colorado. He is a lawyer
by profession and was the first attor-
ney general of Colorado after the state
was admitted into the Union Mr..
Sampson was the United States consul
at Paso del Norte, Mexico, during
President HaTrisons administration.
He has made quite a record as a cam
paign orator in the Mississippi valley
states. He is a native of Ohio and
about 55 years of age.
