Array of Information.

TIe discovery Of the sugar trust frauds
in the underweighing in the New York
cas- toms house and the indictment and
conviction of number of persons con-
ncctcd with the concern, together with
fthcr indictments still untried against
higher officials of the combine, have given
the government a greater array OF in
formation than it has ever before had
against one of the big concerns.
Attorney General Wickersham is said
TO be personally directing the proceeding
tnat will be lied in New York and has
told some of the officials of the depart
nent that he is immensely pleased with
the facts that are at the disposition of
the government in presenting its case.
The sugar trust has been one of the
four great trusts under constant fire in
this country for the last few years.
The trust was organized under the laws
of New Jersey, January lo, 1891 sue
ceeding a smaller trust then in existence
The trust has immense plants at Jersey
City, Boston, New Orleans, Brooklyn.
Philadelphia and elsewhere. 1t has a half
interest in the Western Sugar Refining
Company of San Francisco, and inter-
ests in other companies throughout the
country. 1t owns many of the sugar cane
refineries Of the country and is said to
own controlling interest in thirty three
of the sixty-four beet sugar factories.

STORM INTERFERING
WITH VIII !..!|:I GUN |. PRACTICE
Atlantic Fleet Being Badly
Tossed About by West
Indian Gale.

The West Indian storm, which is trav-
cling up the gulf stream is seriously in
terfering with the annual battle practice
of the Atlantic fleet, which is lying about
fifty miles Off the Chesapeake capes.
This morning the following dispatch was
received by wireless by the Navy Depart
ment from Admiral Schroeder on board
his flagship, the Connecticut:
Heavy seas still running One target
raft broken up, and the larger part sunk

for, shelter. The Celtic and Panther have
gone in with the spotting RATS. The Ne
braska parted her anchor chain at 70
fathcms."
More Than They Desired.
1t is doubtful if the fleet ever before
attempted to conduct these important
drills under such adverse conditions of
weather. The ordnance officers have for
a good while longed for what they called
a good roll to test the ability Of the
gunners to hit the targets in rough
weather.
Now they appear to have got more than
they wanted. 1t is not that the gunners
are not up to their work, but it is impos-
Sible to maintain the frail targets on the
ranges in the heavy seas that are rolling
over the southern drill grounds. Neces-
sarily these targets. composed of RATS
upon which are erected lofty canvas
screens representing section of the
SIDE of battleship, cannot stand anything
like the rough weather that the vast bat
tleships can. They begin to work in the
seas. and if the canvas is not torn away
by the gale and the flying spray, the
weak hulls or RATS are soon torn to
pieces. by the waves.
Lost Two Rats So Far.
The fleet has already lost two RATS
this year, and as these structures cost
about $4,000 apiece. the damage is Sc
rious. Moreover the loss of the raft in the
present case may make it necessary for
the fleet to remain much longer on the
drill ground in order that another raft
may be built with which to complete the
practice.

the achievements of the aeroplanes and
dirigible balloons during the military

Tho military experts are unanimous in
the opinion that the air machines are des-

Combination of Two Machines.

Regarding the relative merits of the
aeroplane and the dirigible opinions diff
fer, but the consensus of opinion appears
to be that as each supplements the other
a combination of both is necessary.
The aeroplane demonstrated its superb
ority in the matter of speed, invulnerabil-
ity, independence of wind and weather.
while it's portability avoids the necessity
of housing; but at the same time the ex-
cessive speed of the machines is draw
back, as it makes observation from them
necessarily vague while fieeting. Twice
during the mapeuvers Gen. Munier. COM
manding the Sd Corps, was compelled to
send a pilot of an aeroplane back over
the scouting field to obtain more precise
information.

Advantage Of the Dirigible.

The dirigibles, although slower, and sc
Offering a better target for the enemy
are able to make more accurate observa-
tfons. besides enjoying the advantage OF
being in constant wireless communication
with headquarters.
The aeroplanists believe that their lack
of precision in scout duty can be over
come by preliminary training in air OBJ
servatiOn from balloons.
While offensive aerial operations have
not been attempted here, Gen. Brun is
convinced that the development of the
aeroplane, especially in an automatic
contrfvance to regulate the speed and the
increase of It's carrying capacity to ac-
commodate a crew of three or four, opens
a great field for aggressive aerial opera
tions, such as daXx.9s,A. A.&night raids. for
the purpose OF dropping explosives within
the enSiny's lines. He believes also that
the great height to which aeroplanes are
capable of attaining constitutes an i'm
portant advantage

Their Use as Fighters.

The problem of fighting aerial war en-
gines also was tested during the maneu-
vers, each general having at his disposi-
ton guns mounted upon automobiles;
field guns, the sight of which could be
elevated to an angle Of 70 degrees for
an attack upon the dirigibles, and ma
chine guns for use against the aeroplanes
theoretically, all the dirigible balloons
were destroyed, while most of the aero
planes escaped.

ram ked as a private soldier during the

Laws Watchful Eye.

.1he prompt action or the United states
attorneys Office, ii is generally thought.
in following up the first rumors of an al
legged milk trust" as well as the gen.
eral publicity given the subject, would
have prevented the formation of trust.
If such an organization was contemplated
by dairymen.
While the general opinion of dairymen
in the District of Columbia is that they
should receive more for their milk. they
do not believe it will be possible to get
better price this winter than last.
After discussing the price of milk for
nearly three hours, members of the
Dairymen's Association of the District.
who met last evening at the National
Hotel, adjourned without taking action
to fix a price. The annual election of Of
ficers took place, and other routine buSi-
ness was transacted.
The recent action Of the Milk Producers
Association, in recommending "a cents
as q fair and reasonable wholesale price
per gallon, was discussed by many men,
bers of the association. 1t seemed the
general opinion that If the producers
succeeded in getting "a cents during the
next seven months would be necessary
for the retail dealers to raise the price
to 10 cents quart.
Although the price of milk was dis
cussed for q long time no vote was taken,
and no specific recomme ndations were
made. The high cost Of milk production,
labor and living generally was empha-
sized, and 1t was implied that the price
Of milk should follow the example of all
other produce 49, "a.

Personal Supervision.
STRONG ARRAY OF FACTS
Government Feels Better Prepared

That the Department of Justice Is
about ready to bring suit to dissolve
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, known as the sugar trust, Is
understood from reliable sources and Is
not denied by those officials at the de-
partment who are cognizant of the
facts.
The filing of the suit is in the hands
of Attorney General Wickersham, who
is in New York, and it is expected that
any day he will give the order for the
legal aattack upon the great combina-
lion.
The papers in the suit have been pre-
pared for some time, District Attorney
Wise in New York having been directed
by Mr.. Wickersham some time ago to
prepare them. The whole thing has been
done so noiselessly that few officials of
The department in Washington have
