SAYS SUGAR OCTOPUS
HAS ADMITTED GUILT
NEW YORK PRESS DECLARES
TRUST HAS CONFESSED TO
RUNNING COMPETITOR.

New York, Oct. 5.-The New York
Press, commenting, edftorially today
on the sugar trust settlement, said:
Full confession of it's guilt has now
been made by the sugar trust in the
matter of the ruin Of a rival refinery
in Philadelphia. George Fl. Earl has
won his fight for Adolpn segal, the
American Sugar Refining Co. choos-
ing to pay him $75O.Oo0 and return 70
segal the note for s1.25O.OOO. which
caused the failure of his refinery and
of a trust company In Philadelphia.
"To what extent proceedings begun
by Mr.. Earl on behalf Of mis- client
which have now been settled out of
court had been contended, will af-
feet the indictment found against the
sugar trust directors remains TO be
seen.
EMO doubt Mr.. Earl's client ID well
satisfied with the outcome, but there
are other interests 10 consider. The
price paid by the trust for the privi-
iege of running competitors out Of
business Will be too cheap II the guilty
ones escape by the reimbursement OF
SegaI stockholders of the ruined re-
finery.
There will be no explanation to the
general public and no disbursement
to the sugar trust In Its policy OF ruin-
ing competitors unless the guilty of
tenders are convicted and punished"

Stock Market.

New York, Oct. 5.--The weakness Of
y. 8. Steel common, and the advance
in call money rates unsettled the gem
eral market today. Foreign liquida-
ton started the downward movement
In steel with the decline being helping
along by closing out stop loss orders.
Bearish activity became more pro-
nounced as prices yielded and although
pool support was in evidence at times.
the buying had only temporary eff
feet OF checking the downward trend.
The losses were very severe during
the late trading when large blocks OF
stocks were liquidated to the best adj
vantage. The small surplus reserves
OF the banks has forced these institu-
tions to mark up money rates and
consequently loans are being reduced
by their teton. We expect a fever
isl after this shakedown and while
prices may work little lower, we
think the active stocks are purchase
on further declines.-Chas. e. Lewis

BELIEVE SULTAN IS
HELPING The RIFFS
SPANISH GOVERNMENT MAY DE.
CLARE WAR AGAINST THE
RULER OF, ALL MOROCCO.

Lisbon, Oct. 5.-The Spanish cabinet
is in session today considering the ad-
Visibility OF declaring war against the
sultan Of Morocco. according to news
smuggled over the Spanish border
from Madrid. The Madrid police are
having difficulty In handling mob
which, for twenty -four hours has been
attempting to sack the Moroccan en-
bassy. A strong guard has been plac-
ed around the building.
The Spanish cabinet Ia convinced
that the latest increase of activity on
the part OF Riff tribesmen is due to
reinforcements from Mulai- hafid. The
general impression Is that the sultan
is encouraging the tribes to declare
holy war and drive all christians
out of Africa. Large parties have
Joined the Riffs near MeliIla. Harka
and mis- tribesmen are closing in on
the Spaniards, who are now in a po-
sition behind the hills that separate
the MeiMla peninsula from the main
land.
The Spanish artillery Is keeping off
the natives who, despite the guns, are
making hourly charges upon the ridge.
The Spanish position is daily becom-
ing more perilous and the $4,000 re-
Inducements now on their way from
Spain are urgently needed Spain is
made doubly suspicious of the attitude
OF the Mulai- hafid In the trouble by
apparently reliable reports t. the ef-
feet that the sultan is rushing heavy
shipments of arms and ammunition
from Germany.
Several German steamers are re-
ported to have landed cannon, guns
and ammunition at Morocco ports
consigned to the Moroccan govern
ment These are. it Is believed, for
the Riffs.
