OUT TO BUY
Sugar Trust Negotiating for
Purchase of Beet Sugar
Factories.

Negotiations have been begun by the
American Sugar Refining company, known
as the sugar trust, for the purchase of
some Of the largest and most profitable
beet sugar factories Of the United States.
These efforts of the trust first attracted
attention In Michigan where the agents Of
the American company are negotiating for
some of the big Giants in the Saginaw
valley. The report was at first denied.
but 1t is now generally conceded by the
beet sugar men. who have been ap-
preached by trust agents, that the Amer
lean company is after not only the M;chi-
gan plants but others in the west which
are proving good dividend payers and be-
come aggressive competitors. .'-..
The report was in circulation to-day
that the t. Louis Park factory was in
Guided in the list of plants sought by the
trust. President Gustav Theden is UNI
derstood to have become indignant when
told that such rumor was current and
to have denied emphatically that any ne
gotiations between the trust and the St
Louis Park people had even been sug-
gested. At the factory another denial
was made.
President Penoyar Of the Saginaw Sugar
company admits that negotiations be-
tween the trust and his company are un-
der way. A prominent stakeholder of one
of the Saginaw Valley factories says that
the trust desires to make a clean sweer
Of all of the valley plans.

gotiationS say that the trust will not close
the factories If the deals go through
Beet sugar factories in some sections

THUNDER FOR
DEMOCRACY
,Watterson Says That Long,
Long-sought Issue Has
Been Found.
Gives a swashbuckling In
dorsement of Substitute
for Philippine Bill.
rev ys.ltsu, spsosag Service

Louisville KY, April Henry Waiter
son is out in a letter declaring that the
democratic substitute to the republican
the democratic national platform Of 1904.
He says:
l give these various provisions in detail
because not merely of their Importance in
the character of proposed legislation, but
because undoubtedly they lay down the line
on which the democratic party will stand and
fight the next presidential battle. 1t has
been reached after great elaboration and in
wolves some modification and concessions
brought about rather by the course of events
than by theoretical discussions. 800
Anybody can see what the republican pro-
gram with respect to the Philippines is. It
is indicated by the terms martial law, military
despotisn, and. in the event of victory in
1904, riot of carpetbagging, putting the old
era OF reconstruction to the blush because
OF its moderation. Give the republicans an
other lease of power, supplemented by the
machinery they have set up and are seeking
to. elaborate, and they will neither ask nor
need anything more to make their power abb
solute. Then let Mr.. Hoar 80 much as whim-
per in the senate and something more than an
empty charge of treason will be lodged against
him. Miles was not reprimanded for nothing.
"Constructiye Statesmanship."
The democratic measure, all things consid-
cred, is good constructive craftsmanship. II
safeguards our territorial interests, while Sc
curing something like q chance for stable
government for the Philippines. The world
neutrality feature is admirable because we
are strong enough to enforce it. Under this
plan the outcome will probably be firm foot
ing for the United States in the far east and
after the manner of the British in Hongkong,
a good American protectorate over the archi-
pelago to insure peace and order under home
rule as contradistinguished from satrap rule
and the licensed scoundrelism Of the carpet
baggers and the scalawags. This will serve
all the ends of the national honor and foster
all legitimate commercial enterprises while
saving us world Of responsibility and outlay.
! Here or hereabout We have the paramount
issue for 1904. 1t Is neither theoretical nor
subdoctrinal, but pure business, tackling the
republican, on their chosen grounds and for
cling them to an accounting. II it wins Uncle
Sam will continue to sit at the head Of the

"BEN BOLT"
Venerable Author of the Uni
versal Song Gathered to
His Fathers.

Newark, N. j., April DIR. Thomas
Dunn English died early to-day.
DR.. English, who was writer of some
note, was widely known as the author of
Ben Bolt" He was born in Philadel-
phla In 1878, and was graduated from the
University Of Pennsylvania as doctor OF
medicine in 1889. Later he studied law
and was admitted to the Philadelphia bar.
He engaged in journalism in New York
from 1914 to 1859. when he came to New
ark to practice medicine. He was a.
member Of the New Jersey legislature in
1663-1S64 and served two terms in" con-
gress from a New Jersey district.
In popularity and length of vogue, ben
Bolt easily ecualed if it did not lead any
ether purely American song. 1t was written
in 1913 for the New York Mirror. then con-
trolled by n. P. Willis and George P. Morris
The music was by Nelson F. Kneass, young
actor. In 1894 the song was revived by Du
Maurier in "Trilby" and for year or so was
heard constantly, as in the early period OF it's
existence. Dr.. English became "sick and
tired of It," feeling disgusted because this
bantling of his brain took precedence over
what he considered far greater work Of his.
He was quoted as saying in 1894: Damn Ben

STOCK TALK
Affairs of the $500" and
Other Western Roads
Are Analysed.

Special to The Journal
New York, April 1.-The rise In $500"
stocks is sufficiently accounted for by the
increase IN earnings. For the eight
months OF the current fiscal year the
company reports net gain of 81, 083 ,163,
SO II the company shows no further large
increase for the rest of the year there is
surplus over charges OF $1,4OO, 900. Al
lowing that the remaining four months
are an average. this would show a full
per cent on $4,000, 900 stock and leave an
equivalent Of about per cent earned on
$14,O00, 900 common.
The recent Improvement in Canadian
Pacific is attributed partly to the excel
lent February statements. 1t is thought
by some, however. that the encouraging
remarks Of President Shaunessy at last
weeks annual meeting induced moderate
investment buying OF stock Whatever
the cause. Canadians Pacific shares fur
nished oonsDicuously firm feature yes
terday.
The February statement was disap-
pointing. in the case Of st. Paul, though
1T was known that. owing to bad weather,
earnings would not be very large. The
company, however, is we'll ahead Of last
year for the fiscal year to date, in spite
OF the fact that it has been heavily charg-
ing operating expenses for improvements
The earnings are being compared With
the phenomenal large returns OF 1901.
The Union Pacific statement is oon-
sidered remarkable. The increase OF
nearly half million dollars in gross
earnings in February Is accounted for by
the very large increase in tonnage re-
ceived from mines. During the; past year
the development of the mining industry in
this country has been rapid and perma-
nent. so that the Union Pacific Is look
ing for steady and large increases in rev.
enue from that source. It was expected
at the beginning of the present year that
the partial failure of the corn crop last
season would cause falling off in the
receipts, and IN fact grain receipts have
fallen of; but this has been compensated
for bv other freight revenue. There is
no likelihood of any change In the divi-
dend rate until the management knows
what the crops are going to be. this year.

STATE PLATFORMS
Senate Report on Philippine Bill
VIII BE Felt Therein.

Senate Report on Philippine Bill
VIII Be Felt Therein.
Frep, The journal Bureas4, Room, Is. Post
Washington, April Flew reports of
more significance have been made at this
session than the one which the minority
members of the senate committee on the
Philippines have prepared. 1t is the first
formal announcement Of democratic policy
regarding the Philippine question, If we
may except the rhetorical plank of the
Kansas City platform on this subject. The
plan is to propose that the people of the
Philippine islands be granted their inde-
pendence as soon as the president of the
United States shall proclaim that the war
in the islands has ceased. The Filipinos
would pay the United States the $40 ,0O0,-
900 which was paid to Spain under the
treaty of peace as a. condition precedent,
and the United States would enter into
treaty arrangements with foreign powers
for an international agreement of neutral
ity for the protection Of the Islands. An
election would take place and govern
ment be launched much as has been done
in Cuba. 1t will be noted that the time
set for moving-after the insurrection is
over-is the same which the majority bill
selects for the beginning Of civil gov
eminent with provisional legislature, and
the election Of three commissioners to
come to Washingt on.
The important question, Of course, is
whether this plan of the senate committee
represents democratic policy, present and
future. 1t is pointed out by those who
Insist that it does not, that the democratic
members Of the Philippine committee are
the least representative Of their party of
any in the senate. Three of the five are
western men, and only two southern. OF
these three, Patterson and Dubois would
hardly be regarded as simon pure demo-
Gratis; and the question whether the
great body of the party in the eastern
states and in the south would follow these
men is. of course, to be considered So
far as the democrats Of the house are con-
cerned, nothing has yet reached the stage
in committee to call for an exposition of
minority policy, but Mr.. Cooper, chairman
of the insular affairs committee, says that
he believes the senate platform does rep
resent democratic feeling in the house as
he meets it. Doubtless this action of the
senate committee will have great influ-
ence upon the state platforms which will.
before long, be adopted.

WATER IN THE STREETS
Portage La Prairie In Danger OF
Destruction.


Destruction.
Winnipeg, Man., April The terribls
floods of 1882, when the entire prairie
province resembled an immense inland
sea. are being repeated this year. Re-,
ports from many points are alarming.
Bridges have been swept away, many
miles Of railway tracks carried from the
roadhed to the plains and all kinds Of
traffic paralyZed. .s.. Z
! News was received that Portage Ia
Prairie. city of 5000, in the heart Of the
wheat belt. is threatened with destruc-
ton. The waters Of the Assiniboine riv-
er are now pouring through the streets
and the citizens who managed to escape
to higher ground did so by crawling
through the upper windows Of their
houses. Relief has been sent from neigh
boring towns.
The waters are said to be higher than
they were during the great food, and
houses and bridges have been swept away.
All train connections are cut off and the
city is almost isolated.
Portage is the third city In population
and wealth in the province and the dam
ages caused by floods cannot be esti-
mated in dollars.
The situation in Winnipeg is grave.
The Red and Assiniboine rivers are rising
four feet every day and the waters now
threaten the lower portion OF the city.

BAYFIELD, ROAD
Supreme Court Grants Re-

Federal Court. ....
Special to The Journal.


Madison, Wis. April 1.-The decision of
the supreme court granting the removal
Of the Washburn, Bayfield, & Iron River
railway case to the federal court con-
tinues the idea that it is grave and i'm
portant question whether the state, as a
sovereign, has the right to forbid the de-
struction Of one Of it's railway highways,
but that is the ultimate question in the
case. The question now is, what court
shall try it?
The question presented for discussion
was whether the circuit court of the
United States had jurisdiction and power
to command it's master in chancery to
tear up this railroad. The supreme
court came to the conclusion that this
was question for the laws of the United
States and that the federal statutes re-
qulre that 1t shall be removed to the fed
eral court upon application Of the defen-
dant.
