GERMAN SUGAR
Trust That Enables That
Country to Dictate to
the World.

London, Nov. 23.-The British sugar
magnates assert that their Investigations
have revealed the existence in Germany
OF a great trust called the ''kartell," "
which has been in existence about year,
and that 1t is chiefly owing to it's agency
that sugar has been forced down in Eng
land and other countries to its low
est point in the history of the indus
try and that Germany to-day is enabled to
dictate to the world the price of that
commodity. The British government will
be urged to empower its representatives
at the Brussels conference to threaten
retaliatory countervailing measures un-
less the 'kartell'' is broken I'D or at
least modified
Germany now produces one-third of the
worlds supply OF beet sugar, Of which
she exports no less than 1850 600 toms
atter completely supplying her own pom
ulatlon. These exports, which are almost
one-nrth OF the worlds available supplv.
are sent out at loss to German manufac-
turers, but thanks to the "kartell'' plus
the bounty, they are able not only to make
up Tor this, but to reap a handsome profit
IN addition to gaining absolute control of
the sugar market

St Louis. Nov. 2S.-Anchored in this

ninety-six members of a new religious
sect who purpose navigating the Missis-

This craft arrived here yesterday. The
study of astronomy is one of the principal
occupations of the association of Chris

new sect term themselves. The Magiddo

brethren. 1t is typical Mississippi
steamer "Megiddo' is an ancient He
brew word for THE Lord of Hosts" Said
one of the peculiar Sect
We believe that the millennium will come in
the year 1871. We believe that at the end
of 5000 years of mans earthly existence.
which will come in 1941, the earth will become
paradise, and man, with his earthly body
restored, but with new powers and properties.
will be able to soar to the most remote planets
until all Of Gods creation haG been traversed
The sun, Neptune, 2,s56. .OO0. 900 miles from the
sun, Jupiter, Saturn, the fixed stars, all will
be visited by man in those days. Therefore
our members make astronomy their principal
study next to the more simple teachings of
the gospel

COCHRANE is CONFIDENT
Railway Combine, He Says, Can BE
Defeated.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal,
Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 23.-John M
Cochrane, the attorney, in an interview ex-
pressed confidence that the railroad mer-
ger can be defeated, as under it the COM
panies attempt to do indirectly what the
law of Minnesota expressly forbids, and
this law has been upheld by the supreme
court of the United States.
He approves of the course of Governor
Van SAINT, and says regarding the situa-
tion in the state of North Dakota that
there is no such positive expression on
our statute books denying the right of
one railroad company to absorb a parallel
or competing line as is to be found in
Minnesota, and which is to be found in
many of the states of the union. This,
however, can be speedily remedied by the
passage of such laws during the next ses-
sion Of the legislature. He believes
popular sentiment will demand such legis-
lation without delay.
1T would seem very poor policy" he
says, Ito allow two competing lines, with
practically 4,500 miles Of road each, to
combine and thus eliminate all competi-
tion. The patrons of the roads would then
be utterly helpless, and the money for any
desired profit would be wrung from them.
The Great Northern and Northern Pacific
were granted so many privileges to start
with that should they be allowed to con-
solfdate they could all but defy legislation,
and their rights would make it almost i'm
possible to reach them through legisla-
ton.
Public sentiment is overwhelmingly
against the consolidation of competing
lines and such consolidation has been de-
nounced by the courts. so that if strong
fight is put up against the combine there
can be but one outcome"

TARIFF ISSUE
It Would Burst Out in Fury
Should Business Become
Unsettled.

BssfE&sRR. WaSI&nston.
Washington, Nov. 23-In the latest in
terviews OF Senators Hawley, Allison and
Quarles the geographical character of the
tariff issue is made increasingly plain.
The Connecticut senator Is opposed to
reciprocity treaties squarely. The Iowan.
although long noted for his extreme con-
servatism, believes that the tariff could
be reduced to advantage on many articles.
and but for the opening of the whole tariff
controversy which this would occasion
would favor reductions. He is, at least,
friendly to courteous treatment of the
reciprocity treaties, even though it may
not be found expedient to ratify any of
them. The Wisconsin senator would like
to have "a tariff and reciprocity commits
sion" established, made up Of the strong
est men in the country, protectionists and
low tariff men, and he named ex-Speaker
Reed as the sort OF person whom he
would like to have head 1t.
Mr.. Quarles believes something will be-
fore long have to be done While it is
safe to predict that the Kasson treaties
will be rejected, 1t is evident that the
tariff question is strongly in the air. and
were business conditions to show any un-
settlement for any reason 1t would burst
out in fury. To avoid the dangers of a
storm is the present aim of the advocates
Of concession.

l o. clock this morning as he was passing
Christ Episcopal church. Just outside of
Capitol park he was met by three men.
one OF whom asked the time, and as he
was replying another hit him over the
mead with a club knocking him down.
The robbers then took his pocketbook con-
talning $15 and his gold trimmed eve
glasses, and decamped.
Eberhardt had attended a free vaude-
Vile show during the evening and had
shown some money while in the hall. and
1t is supposed the robbers followed him
from there. He told his troubles to the
police to-day, but they have no clue to
the robbers.
Eberhardt says he was chef to General
Woods In Cuba and previous to his mill
tary experience was chef for Cornelius
Vanderbilt and Levi P. Morton.
The past summer he has been chef for
the Ringing Bros show.

the Northwestern team, on the arrival of

think the Minneapolis boys have shown

football enthusiasts from all parts OF New
England focked into Cambridge to-day
prepared to brave snow, rain or buster
ing winter winds, in order to see the
match on Soldiers Field this afternoon
between the hitherto unbeaten elevens of
Harvard and Yale. The followers Of Yale,
as they had been for some time, seemed
confident that they would win, while
every undergraduate at Harvard was
strong in the belief that the team repre-
senting the crimson would carry out Pres
ident Roosevelts admonition. The bet
ting was in favor of Yale at odds Of about
5 to A.
The gates of Soldiers Field were opened
just after noon to a great stream of spec
tators. The wind, blowing from the north
east, was raw and piercing. The Harvard
team reached the locker building at 12: 40
p. m, and the Yale team came soon after.
Partizans gave the players a hearty well
come. Before the teams had been at
practice a minute it was seen that the
footing was very uncertain and muddy.

5000 shares in the common stock in
