WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The Depart
ment Of Justice to-day gave out the follow
ing: 1.-The intimation in a dispatch from
st. Paul, made by one OF counsel for the
Northern Securities Company, that the at
torney general privately expressed himself
as willing to have the decree in the North
ern Securities case modified temporarily or
suspended and instructed the United States
attorney to the contrary merely for public
effect is utterly without foundation. The
terably held that the decree enjoins the vio-
lation of a penal statute and that to mti-
gate or suspend it in any respect would
amount to a license to continue TO violate
law. The instructions to the United States
attorney reflect, upon their face, the posi-
tiveness and earnestness with which this
view will be maintained before the court,

prieties of the case"

NEW YORK, April 1s.-The strike Of the
iron workers against the American Bridge
Company was settled to-day at the confer
ence between representatives of the union

phia, this city, President Buchanan of the

Sugar Trust in Spain.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Advices re-
ceived at the State Department from Con-
sui General Lay at Barcelona are to the
effect that since the loss of Cuba a great
deal of attention has been turned to the
possibility of producing beet sugar in
Spain. Large factories were erected and
wide tracts of land were devoted to the
cultivation Of sugar. Large quantities were
accumulated each year with but little
chance to dispose of it in the foreign mar
kets, so it was decided by the manufacture
ers of the beet sugar to form a trust to
control the production and sale Of sugar.
According to the latest report about 90 per
cent. of the manufacturers have joined this
combination and negotiations are still going
on. The manufacturers of products into
which sugar largely enters are very much
interested in preventing an increase of the
price, and the general public. who are now
paying about 10 cents per pound for loaf
sugar, do not favor a scheme which will
possibly result in enhancing the cost.

over the matter and the result will be a

The postmaster general several days ago

the treasury as TO whether in apportioning
the appropriations for clerks at postoffices
of the first and second classes he had au-
thority to allow a greater number of clerks
of one grade than that fixed in the act
provided that the total appropriations for
clerk hire at offices of the classes named
be not exceeded. The controller holds in
the negative, making an exception, howev-

MAY LAND AT GUAM.
Dutch-German Cable Company to
Have Station on an American Island.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The Dutch
German cable will have a station on the
Island of Guam, the State Department hav-
ing forwarded instructions that will permit
the landing OF the cable. The Navy De-
partment, which controls affairs at the
island. gave the matter mature considera-
ton and finally announced 1t would not
make objection. The cable touches at vafl-
Gus Dutch and German Micronesian islands
and finally connects with an Asiatic trunk
line. The only objection suggested to the
landing at Guam was based on the location
of the landing place selected by the cable
company, but an agreement has been
reached on this point and it will soon be
possible for the Navy Department to send
emergency orders by wire to the naval
commandant at Agana. In the course of
time, probably by next July, the depart
ment will be able to communicate in the
same way with Guam over an all-Amer-
lean cable. With these connections naval
officers expect that the little island will ul-
timately become important port of call
in the southern seas.

Three Military Divisions Proposed.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-A movement
has been started to re-establsh military d.
visions in the United States, with several
departments included in each. The project
has received the Endorsement of high army
officers and it will no doubt be taken up
and considered at an early day. probably
after the return of Secretary Root and
Major General Corbin from st. Louis. As
far as the scheme has progressed and &C
cording to some recommendations made
there are to be three divisions, the Atlantic.
the Mississippi or the Missouri, and the Pa
cifc. Each will be I'm command Of a ma
jor general of the army. The Atlantic
division will be composed of the present
Department of the East divided into two
departments, the old Department of the
Gulf to be re-established with headquar-
tiers at Atlanta, Ga. The middle division
is to be composed Of the present Depart
ment OF the Lakes, Missouri Dakota and
Texas, while the Pacific division will be
composed OF the Departments of California,
Columbia and Colorado. Probably different
geographical lines Of departments will be
made in order to secure the best results.
