SUGAR TRUST.

In the course of his mastery ar
gument against the annexation of
Hawaii. Senator Allen said:
I assume that the sugar trust is
not a patriotic organization. l ns-
sumo that the sugar trust is to be
found on that side where the most
money is to be made by 1t and by
its members. l shall undertake
before 1 conclude my remarks to
show concluslvely that by this
scheme of annexation the sugar
trust alone makes over S4O,0O0,OOO
annually. And yet l presume
there are those who will want us
to believe that under those circum-
stances the sugar trust is opposing
annexation.
No, Mr.. President, the sugar
trust is to be found where the big
gest sum Of money isto be made.
Like all other such institutions, it
has 10 flag, no country, no duty of
patriotism that conflicts with it's
financial interests and its pecuniary
welfare. If l shall succeed in
demonstrating, es ! propose to at
tempt, that this gigantic monopoly
will make annually over $4,000
600 by this scheme of annexation,
/ will have demonstrated, l think,
quite completely to the people of
the United States that that is the
inspiring influence to be found in
connection with this prospect.

WE never saw a man addicted

kinley's especial military friend,
Sampson, showed up and took

Cervera undertook to come out
Sampson was up the coast monkey

TO Schley TO finish Cervera; then
Sampson wired Washington: MY

Shafter simply because he was
afraid Shafter might secure the
honor.
There is altogether too much

THERE is but little being said
about Klondike just now. The
general opinion Is that there is an
abundance Of gold there but two
or three years hence will be time
enough to go there when the facil-
tiles for getting there will be bet
ter and cheaper and provisions
become more abundant. There is
no danger of the diggins being all

al am heartily in favor of pos
tai savings banks, provided the
investment of the deposits by the
Government can be made in Sc

Senator Teller lodges these
issues by saying:
81 do not wish to appear dis
courteous in refusing to answer
your questions. The demands of
this kind on a public man are very
great and cannot be answered
without a great loss Of time, the
questions often demanding much
thought and much research before
an intelligent answer can be made.
l have made it rule not to an
swer letters of that character, but
to let my work in the senate speak
for me.
my position on the subject OF
Postal Savings Banks, govern
ment tcle,raphs, etc, can be
learned from the record that have
made in the senate. and do no,
feel that in justice to myself | can
answer inquiries Of the character
you make.
The above will be very disap.
pointing to the many admirers OF
Senator Teller. The questions
asked are not new. Every man in
public life should long ago have
made the Investigations necessaly )
for an opinion upon them. l did
not ask the questions for personal
curiosity. but on behalf Of owe,
twenty-five thousand wide.awske

IT is feared yellow fever is about
to break ont among the American
soldiers at Cuba. In view of this
danger it behooves the United

possible shape before landing and
then make quick work in taking

as the task is completed sail for
