BY SUGAR TRUST
Government Said to Have Been De-
%frauded, of So, 100000

Washington. Nov. b.-Treasury de-
partment officials are astounded at a
statement from Philadelphia that the
sugar trust. importing sugar at that
port, had robbed the government dur
Ing the last four years on its importa-
tions amounting TO 5000. 900.
This is on authority of Assistant Sec
rotary OF the Treasury Spaulding. who
save no reports have v e been made
to the government on the subject.
The story In brief Is as follows: Com
plant has been filed with the collector
Of Philadelphia charging fraud o the
part Of the trust. 1t is charged that
during 1897 the government was de-
frauded out of 81, 1000. 900 and since 1896.
the losses have amounted to $4,000. 900.
This charge was referred by the coll
lector to an assistant for investigation.
This official reported in favor of the
trust and nc further action was taken.
The men that swore to the charges

trust and left 1t at their own option.

and upon these the duty was fixed.
He further states that one party to
this fraud. then in the service of the
government, is at present a sampler
for the government.
He charges this sampler with DELHI
crate fraud by building bags OF dam
aged sugar around bags OF good SUI
gar and then entering them all as dam
aged sugar.
Through these practices. he alleges,
the value of every cargo of sugar
brought into Philadelphia by the trust
was decreased from one-quarter to 1
cent a pound. all of which went to the
trust. eG 1850

a Francisco, Nov. 3~.-Discoveries

state that nearly all of the south sea

by chart extremely dangerous. The
exceptions are the Fiji groups, owned

owned by France. New and accurate
sailing directions for use anon the
islands have been prepared.
In about the middle Of Boring sea
the Albatross discovered n bank Just

the charts showed 1000 fathoms depth.
This bank is from five to ten miles
in extent. A worlds record for deep

ANCIENT IN AsRAHAM's DAY.
Prof. Hnprecht Returns with Earlies
- Records KNOW

WNNn4Aa
Hilprecht Returns with Earliest
Records known.
New York. Nov. 8.-Professor II. ".
Hilprecht of the University OF Penn
sylvania, who has been exploring the
mountains OF ancient Nippur. in Asia
Minor. arrived on the steamer Fried
rich der Crosse from Bremen. Pro-
fessor Hilprecht brought with him
some of h tablets marked with cunei-
form inscriptions, which he recently
discovered in an old temple on the
ruins of Nippur. These tablets contain
records of civilization which existed as
long ago as 5000 B. Chat is, as long
before Abraham as, Abraham was be-
fore our time.
Professor Hilprecht's coming has
been awaited anxiously by students In
terested in the remote past, because
his discoveries are believed to have re-
organized the chronology of biblical
times. extending 1t back many millen-
NUNS prior to the old time reckoning
of the deluge. Therefore he is looked
upon as a messenger bearing news Of
the earliest records of civilization
His progress from Nippur has been
n long series of personal triumphs.
He was honored by the sultan OF Tur-
key, offered professorships in German
universities, entertained by Prince Ru-
precht Of Bavaria. by the duchess of
Onhalt. sister of the king Of Denmark,
and made a member Of several geo
graphical societies.
DR.. Hilprecht has been exploring the
mounds of ancient Nlppur for eleven
years. His campaigns have heretofore
been most successful, but during the
past year he has made the greatest
discoveries of all, the finding of the
library of the ancient Temple OF Nip
pur and the remains of a huge palace
having at least two stories and con
tanning many evidences OF what might
be called modern co%nveniences.
The library tablets throw a strong
light on how people lived at Nippur at
the time when Adam and Eve We're
supposed to be living in the Garden Of
Eden, Some OF the ..ablets are diction-
aries. architectural, plans. building
bills of sale, histories and chronology
cal lists. n not only do they form a
complete record of the time. but they
indicate that the civilization then ex-
listing was many thousands of years
old. They supply many gap which
are known to exist in Genesis; they
turn light on the origin OF the Jews
and the Jewish religion, and they are
wonderfully corroborative Of the facts
outlined in the Old Testament.
1.-THE chief point to be remarked
said the professor, lis that we have
found the first Babylonian temple
library that was ever discovered. Hith-
erto we have possessed nothing more
than knowledge Of the probable con-
tents of such a library. from copies
found in the royal library of Ashur-
banapol, in NineSah, which was dis
covered sixty years ago."
