SUGAR ON COAST.
A Chatly Dispatch Indicating
Foreign Cane Interest.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2+-The
firm tone OF the sugar stocks has
served to enthuse considerable spirit
among the class of dealers which pat
ronizes the Exchanges dealing in Sc
curlties of this kind. Nearly anyone
nowadays with bank account Is
able 10 discuss volubly the merits of
Hawaiian Commercial, Hama and
Hutchinson. They know all about the
prospects for the cane crop in the
Islands, and what the several man
agements propose doing in the way Of
helping shareholders who don't mind
taking flyer at the present high
range OF prices. Hawaiian, the big
gun in the market, Is marked up TO
reach the 800 point before the year
Is out by the talent on the street, who
are also inclined to copper the bear
dalk OF rival operators as to the mer-

with many dealers, more especially as
II is considered worthy OF inyidlous
comparison by friends OF other con-

smaller but fiourishing plantation with
jealousy. The interest taken in the

Saturday of the service.
The sailor said shat contrary To gen

about serving on the so-called dyna-
mite cruiser. As a matter OF fact there
has not been a single accident Of any
Kind on the Vesuvius since she was
commissioned seven or eight years ago
and every experiment made with her
has been successful. She mas stood not
only the .criticisms OF the alarmists,
but every test to which she has been
submitted.
During all of the naval operations In
Cuban waters, there was preserved the
utmost secrecy concerning the move
ments and use of the Vesuvus. Natur-
ally the enemy would be more anxious
10 destroy her than TO put out OF the
way any ship of the combined fleets.
She was regarded by the Spanisrds
with the utmost terror.
IL was only at night that the We
suyius was used and but a few more
than fifty shots we're fired from her

AMERICAN WORKMANSHIP.

The Scientific American says
that the Midland railway. of Eng

contract for l30 locomotives with
American firms. 1t is also said
that the Great Northern railway
will order large number of en-
gines of the mogul type from
American locomotive builders.
The Phoenix Bridge company
has just received contract fol
twelve steel bridges for the Rus.
sian government, to be used on the
Trans 81 iberian railway. 1t is
gratifying, indeed, 10 note tn,
growth of the demand for articles
of American manufacture in Eu-
rope and the far east. These or
ders alone are certainly high
tribute to the skill of American
workmen and their high class
workmanship. The recognition of
Americas superiority in these re-
spects is growing. too, and is
shown in many other lines of man

central section, the eastern Dor.

AMONG those opposed to the

who base their hopes on It's illeg-
ality. They claim class legislu-

will be made before the Supreme

mined gives only a small margin
under present conditions are
strong in their denuucintion of
the law, and it certainly looks us
though they were justified in their
case. If proper arrangements
could be made with railroads and
smelters there would be little
cause for complaint. Why no,
try them before becoming imvol-
we'd in expensive legal complica-

STATE TRAITORS.

A clipping from the Wall Street
Journal was published last even
ing in the Denver Times, and was
commented on editorially as fol-
lows:
Elsewhere in this issue appears
n clipping from the Wall Street
journal, one of the representative
financial papers of the country.
1t shows how and why the sale of
the Florence & Cripple Creek rail-
road WINS defeated. In an indirect
manner it also tells us why we are
not the possessors of $1,000, 600 OF
eastern capital today and why our
local capitalists are not blessed
with that sS,0O0,0OO TO reinvest in
Colorado improvements.
The Colorado newspapers that
have been sacrificing business in
terests for the advancement of the
personal and political interests of
their editors and their parties are
responsible, in large measure, for
this condition of affairs. These
papers must at least divide the
burden of the responsibility with
he members of the lat, Legislature,
whose every net was II menace to
the business interests of the state.
This is matter that is not CON
fiued to the city of Denver. If
the effects of such anarchy bre ed

the city it is probable that Denver
could afford to become a martyr
ior the rest of the state. But such
is not the case, The same spirit
