him absent he left his opinion in writ
ing. Judge Miner also saw Senator
Platt Of New York and several con-
gressmen, and he found them unani-
nous in the opinion that IL anything
at all was done with the tariff, which
was doubtful, It would not be sufficient
to affect the beet sugar interests.
Judge Miner stated that In passing
through Omaha he found the beet
sugar interests jubllant over the big
advance In the price Of sugar at that
point, The papers contained long ar
tcles regarding the action OF the trust
and one Of these concludes as follows.
While the low price of American Re-
filming company stock prevails. there is
little doing In the sugar Of other re-
flners, but where the demand is I'M
perative, National sugar is being sold

fore the reduction. The American Beet
company Is making no attempt at de-
liveres. all of its product being stored,

cradle portion.
Among local jobbers, the increase In
the price OF sugar Is looked upon as
confession on the part Of the American
Refining company that II has been de-
feated in its object and that II has des-
paired of involving the beet sugar peo-

Brussels Conference.

London, Nov. 23,--The British sugar
magnates assert that their lnvestga
tons have revealed the existence In
Germany Of a great trust called the
'kartell' which has been in existence
about year. and that It is chiefly ow-
ms to It's agency that sugar has been
forced down In England ana other
countries to the lowest point in the his-
tory Of the industry and that Germany
today Is enabled to dictate to the world
the price of that commodity. The ex.
act extent Of the "kartelf was dis
covered, they say only quite recently.
The magnitude of its operations sun
plies the missing factors in the present
alarming condition Of the sugar mar
ket,
The abolition Of this organization win

The police department has been
stirred up from center TO circumier-
ence over the demand made upon Chiel

swer al that time, saying he would take
the matter under consideration.
The Mayor then said that unless the
chief complied with his request at
once, ne would send a communication

rosentatiVe,
II asked the Mayor what the trouble
was and he said there was no trouble

no charges to make. but that there

slider the matter"
