Philadelphia. Jan 13.-Frightened by the
recent revelations of the plans Of Harri-
man and Keene 10 secure control Of sew
eral transcontinentaI railroads. the man
agement of the Pennsylvania Railroad is
quietly planning TO secure control of the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad.
so as TO be in a position 20 make through
shipments Of freight without being at the
mercy Of any other road.
This control the Pennsylvania Railroad
does not intend 20 gain at once. but will
work in conjunction with one or two
more Eastern roads whose property may
also be affected by some coup Of Harri-
man.
Back OF this intention. which, Of course.
is religiously denied by most Of the high
officers Of the road. is seen the hand Of
Henry c. Frick. who IS now more power
ful in the councils Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad than he was under the CassaJt
regime.
Recently he has bought heavily in
Atchison. and daily his supply of Pennsyl-
vania Railroad stock Is increasing. While
the Atchison road is not rs desirable for
a transcontinentai route as some Of the
other roads 80 has many advantages
which recompenses FOR the roundabout

then runs through the rapidly developing
and rich territory of New Mexico, Ari-
zona. and Southern California. which is
sure 10 bring much trade Eastward al
least over the Pennsylvania lines.
To admit of its intentions to purchase
the road the Pennsylvania management
would. Of course. bring the government
down upon IL. and so secrecy is followed.
The new issue Of stock and bonds Of the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad will be shortly
used for this purpose. but in an indirect
manner. as the deal will be made BY

New York, Jan 13.-The sugar trust
and it's principal owners will be called
upon within few days to defend actions
for damages aggregating S2O.0OO0o0, and
to answer in the Federal courts the direct
charge that by conspiracy and fraud they
brought about the financial ruin Of a
competitor. wrecked the Real Estate
Trust Company. Of Philadelphia, last
summer, and drove its president. Frank
X. Nipple. to suicide.
o. Havemeyer, president, and John
E~-Parsons, general counsel, of the Amer

George H. Earl, jr.. Philadelphia's great
reorganizer. who is receiver for the Penn
sylvaEia Sugar Refining Company.
Mr.. Earl has laid the case before the
Attorney General AZ Washington
In the allegations II is asserted that
the money lost by Mr. Nipple was spent
in equipping a modern sugar refinery IN
Shackamaxon street on the Delaware
River, in Philadelphia, which has a
capacity for turning out 400 barrels a
day. but which has never been operated
since IL was built. Il is charged by Re
ceiver Earl that the sugar trust obtained
control Of the refinery and has kept it idle
with the intent not only of sitting the
competition the refinery was built 70
create, but of running Adolph Segal. and
along with him several hundred holders
OF stocks and bonds.
At the annual meeting Of the stock
holders Of the American Sugar Refining
Company In Jersey City last Wednesday
President Havemeyer told his stockhoId-
ers that there is no legal foundation FOR
Receiver Earl, and threatened proceed
ings. but at the same time he got the
stockholders to agree to indemnify the
officers against loss in any such action
When Mr.. Earl learned this he laughed
and declared President Havemeyer was a

conspiracy are set forth in the several
complaints which have been drawn by

Dover. Del, Jan. Ex-senator Alice, who
is making desperate fight for re-elec-
ton, and who is opposed by State Chair
man T. Coleman Du Pont and the lat
ter's supporters, to-day made a spirited
attack upon Mr.. Du Pont to several Of
the State chairmans friends here.
Alice declared the State chairman. being
from Newcastle County, had no right TO
come to Dover last Friday and ask Judge
Pennewill 10 accept an election as Sena-
tor; that because the judge is supported
By the Du Points he cannot be elected.
and that Newcastle County has no say
whatever in the matter the election Of
Senator being due 10 Kent and Sussex
Counties
This attack came as surprise, it being
directed at the head Of the Republican
party in Delaware
When Chairman Du Pont was asked to-
night III Wilmington whether he had any
answer to make to the criticism OF Alice.
he replied:
no. indeed. 7 suppose, however, that
Newcastle County is still part Of Della
ware"
way beiO Ap EiecAAOh-
The declaration Of Alice that neither
Judge Pennewill nor any one else sup
ported By the Du Points" can be elected
indicates that the Senator and his friends
will endeavor to hold up the election.
Mr.. Du Pont was asked whether this
would take the form of an attempted
deadlock. He replied that he did not
not take the threat Of Alice seriously.
An independent development to-day was
visit 10 Judge Pennewin here by Deputy
Attorney General Hastings, Of Whining
ton, who urged him to accept the Sen
atorship. The judge has not made any
statement. but it is generally believed to-
night he will make q favorable announce

Emil c. Hirsch in charge Of the most

our city governments are the laughing
stock Of the world. simply because they

Then they lay the whole trouble to

This criticism Of the foreign element
can carry little weight. The foreigner IS
not an element OF menace, but Of

THE LAND OF ROMANCE.
Spain and the Peculiar Temperament
of It's People.

Spain and the Peculiar Temperament
of It's People.
IL We're asked to sum up the domi-
nant impression that the survival in
Spain OF the old world mediaevalism
makes, should say that Spain Is in
the precise and specific sense Of the
word the home of romance. The spe-
cial character of the Spanish tempera-
ment and of Spanish developments in
literature and In art is marked by n
quality, rising and sinking with the
rise and fall of Gothic, which we call
the romantic splrlt-n mixture, that Is,
of the mysterious and grandiose with
the GrotesQuely bizarre Of the soaringly
ideal with the crudely real, mixtu
which to us today has the cunning fas-
cination Of art, but was really on both
Sides the natural outcome of the ex-
perienccs and feelings of the men who
created it. This romantic spirit was
once the common possession of all
Chrlstendom, but the Spanish tempera-
ment peculiarly lent itself to the ro-
mantle attitude. and 1t is In Spain to-
day that we may catch It's final vanish
Ing echoes. 1t is the church, always
the most powerful stronghold of trndi-
ton among any people. which enables
the stranger most wildly to realize
how well the romantic, spirit has been
preserved In Spain. notwithstanding
invasions from without and revolutions
from within, especially during the
early years Of the last century, Spain
is still the country where the mediae-
val spirit Of romantic devotion Is most
splendidly embodied and preserved
