Americans Buy Nickel Mines.

London. Dec. 19.-American capitalists
have bought controlling interest in the
Nickel corporation. which owns extern
sive mines for the production Of that
metal in New Caledonia. They have re-
organized the board OF directors by ap-
pointing as chairman Col. Willard Hun
siker. the London representative Of the
Carnegie Company. and j. w. Downer,
Of the National Tube Company, as one
of the directors.
1t is understood that purchasers are
private capitalists, and that the deal
has no connection with the American
steel trust. The corporations mines are
reported to be exceedingly rich. Their
former owners the Whitaker-Wrigh
combination, are alleged to have utterly
misrnanaged the property. The original
capital of s75O.Ooo (s3,361 .oo0). which
was fully subscribed. has entirely dis
appeared Heavy liabilities have been
incurred also and the treasury is prac-
tically bankrupt.
The new owners are beginning a
searching investigation OF the condition
of the property. They promise to devel-
opsthe mines by the most modern meth
DDS. including the erection OF smelling
works Hitherto much OF the nickel ore
has been shipped from the mines in its
original form. thus involving heavy un-
necessary costs In transportation.

CHIEF FACTORS WANTING.
Brussels Sugar Conferences Wants Am
erican and Russian Co-operation.

erican ana russian Cooperation.
Brussels, Dec. 19.-The international
sugar conference, which opened here
Tuesday. resumed its sessions yester-
day. The indications are that the dele
gates, who represent all the countries Of
Europe except Russia, favor the total
abolition Of sugar bounties In the coun-
tries represented. The delegates have
pledged themselves to abstain from
making any communication to the press.
but this much was ascertained in con-
nection with yesterdays sitting.
The main point OF the debate was the
imposition OF countervailing duties. and
especially the effect which the imposi-
ton of such duties by the United States
might have in diverting the export of
bounty-fed sugar to fresh markets, and
thus generally upsetting the present ex-
port system OF the bounty paying coun-
tries.
The German kartel system was also
discussed A proposition is pending to
allow the sugar countries not possessing
such price sustaining organization to
pay bounty of Q francs per 100 kilos to
Offset the effect of the kartel system.
At the same time the conference is
doubtful Of the efficiency OF any action
which 1t may take. in view Of the fact
that the United States and Russia are
not bound by the dictum OF the confer
ence. The result may be to call fresh
conference to include the countries
which are not at present represented.

WELCOMES COERCION.
Redmond Says Secretary Wyndham's
Policy Will Aid Irish Cause.

Policy Will Aid Irish Cause.
Cork, Dec 19.-Redmond, McHugh
srd O'Donnell, the Irish members of
parliament who have been visiting the
United States in the interests OF the
United Irish League, arrived at Queens
town Tuesday afternoon on the Oceanic.
and at once proceeded to this city.
When Redmond arrived here he was
escorted to his hotel by an enthusiastic
and demonstrative crowd, which burned
tar barrels and carried torches, and was
accompanied by bands of music.
Redmond addressed the assembly. He
said that before another six months the
Irish League would be as powerful in
the Omitted States as the American Land
League was in the time of Parnell. for
he had succeeded in his mission to the
United States, which had for its objects
the arousing of the sympathy Of the
Americans and securing the co-opera-
ton of Irish Americans. 1rishmen in
the United States. Redmond said. had
spontaneously initiated the movement,
and he believed that 1t would now pro-
duce as generous financial aid for Ire
land as 1t had ever done before.
The speaker said that he was glad to
hear that Wyndham, the chief secretary
for Ireland. had resorted to the coercion
of Ireland, and he hoped that he would
continue to extend it. If there was one
thing they wanted in Ireland, Redmond
said. 1t was the salt of coercion. for this
would not hurt Ireland. but would ire
trievably damage the government.
In the course Of his speech Redmond
described how all classes In the United
States. from President Roosevelt down
ward. had extended their hospitality,
their goodwill and their sympathy to
his mission and the Irish cause. He
said he regarded these evidences Of
goodwill as of enormous value to Ire
land. With the enlightened public opin-
ion OF that great and free nation at her
side, explained the speaker. Ireland pos
sessed power more potent for the flu
ture than all the armies and navies at
the disposal Of Chamberlain and Lord
Salisbury.
Redmond said that he and his COM
panions had received the same assur-
ances OF sympathy from Canada, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier the Canadian premier,
being among the first to welcome them.
