The Sugar Trust evidently believes the
Democrats will be successful in November.
and that the trusts will be regulated by law and
restrained in their career of plundering the
people. The Sugar Trust is getting all it can
out of the people before the evil day TO them

advanced until now il is seven cents pound
to the consumer, and the trust is reaping extra
profits Of about SIS 200. 90 day.

From the Cumberland Time,

The Democratic Advocate, of Westminster,
shows up very plainly that the Baltimore
Herald tells things that are not true. The
Herald either makes false statements pur.
posely or is very ignorant, when it names a
list of papers that it says are against the cleo
ton of Bryan. The papers speak for them
selves and the people can plainly read. Ii is
the height of folly to make false statements
about the political standing of a newspaper
that has its editorial column published to the
world. But the Herald seems to think the
people are all ignorant but it.

DROP In STRATTON'S
INDEPENDENCE

London. Nov. 10.-Thc sensational
drop of SO a share in the price of
Stratton's Independence stock within
a few weeks has been the feature of
the mining division of the stock mar
ket. A few weeks ago the shares We're
selling at SO. To-day they got down
to So and the pressure 10 unload was
heavy.
According to the best Informed min
ing experts, the decline in the stock is
due to revision of opinion as to the
mines prospects.
At the time of the purchase of the
property, in April, when Mr.. Stratton
received the last payment of the S10,
OO0, 900 for which he had contracted to
deliver the property. Mr.. II. A. Rick

This has now been revised, and it is

WILL ABSORB ERIE
AND WABASH

London, Nov. 19.-(New York Herald
cial.)-Plans are maturing for the
absorption of the Erie and Wabash sys-
tens by the New York Central. The
Erie is the last great trunk line east
Of the Mississippi to come into the
Vanderbilt fold.
William X. Vanderbilt has been qul-
city buying Erie stock in the open mar
ket and has also been gathering up
Pennsylvania shares. Whether the New
York Central is to acquire the Erie by
purchase or by lease is not yet known.
One of these two methods will be
adopted.
For a long time the acquisition of the
Wabash has been under consideration
by the Vanderbilts. The chief obstacle
has been the disinclination of the Van
derbilts to take over lines west of the
Mississippi, but negotiations are now
pending for turning over the Wabash
lines between the Mississippi and Kan
sas City to the Santa Fe system.
The Santa Fe now has a line out of
Chicago to Kansas City, but not to st.
Louis. 1t lost st. Louis when the st.
Louis & San Francisco railway was
taken out of the Santa Fe system.
By acquiring the Wabash line west of
the Mississippi the Santa Fe will again
have st. Louis on its map.

1S.-The preliminary note has not yet
been presented. Its terms are not COM
pleted, and there will probably be fur
Their delay, but the belief that the note
of the powers to the Chinese commits
sioners will be completed soon is
strengthened by the results of the re-
cent informal conferences of the min
listers of the powers.
Mr.. Conger, United States minister,
said:
"rhe situation is apparently very IA
vorable to the early beginning of nego-
tiations for preliminary settlement.
believe that the next meeting of the
foreign ENJOYS will virtually settle all
points of difference between the repre-
sentativcs of the powers, who will lose
no time in presenting the demands.
"What the result will be it is impos
sible to foretell. Events have placed
China in a very critical position.
Whether she will be able to preserve
her integrity and to save her trade
relations with the rest of the world
will depend upon what the powers de-
mand in the final settlement and upon
her willingness to accept promptly the
conditions proposed.
st is quite unlikely. if not impossi-
BILE, that the Chinese court will return
to Pekin before next spring, but l do
not anticipate any serious delay in the
progress of the negotiations with the
Chinese commissioners. as they are in
telegraphic communication with the
court"
Military operations are virtually at
a standstil. The German and italian
expeditions northward passed through
the Nankin pass unopposcd.
