soNpINe THE TEXAS CENTRAL.

WACO, Tex, Sept. GA special
meeting OF the stockholders Of the
Texas Central Railroad Company was
held here to-day to approve the execu-
ton OF a mortgage for $40, 100000, COW
ering like amount OF consolidated
mortgage bonds. The rate Of interest
on the bonds is to be fixed by the d.
rectors, but 1t not to exceed 6 per
cent.
Control of the Texas Central was re-
Gently OCCURRED by the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas Railway Company. The
purchasers secured the outstanding
stock of the Texas Central for some
thing like 100000, taking care Of
the bond issue of S5,OO0,0O0. The new
bond issue is for "betterments and ex-
tensolns," but only part of the $780,
100000 issue authorized will be put
out at an early date.
Under the system pursued by the
McHarg interests, the former owners,
the road paid for its own betterments
out of the current revenues and built
extensions when it had the money.
The main line Of the Texas Central
extends from this city to Rotan, in
northwest Texas, distance of 267
miles.

ANOTHER FEDERAL SUIT
AGAINST SUGAR TRUST.

WASHINGTON, Aug. The Fed
eral authorities are almost ready. to
spring their crowning antitrust suit
against the American Sugar Refining
Company. They believe that the liti-
cation will be protracted but eventually
will result in a crushing blow to the
great concern whose affairs have been
under countrywide and rigid inves-
tigation since last December.
The case rests in the hands of United
States District Attorney Wise, in New
York, in whose district the suit will
be filed. The preparation of the case
is virtually completed and 1t is only a
matter of short time before the issue
of monopoly in the sugar trade of the
country will be squarely presented and
fought out in the courts. Mr. Wise
was In close touch with Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham before the latters
departure with Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Nagle for Alaska, and there
has been, considerable correspondence
in the past few days between Mr.. wise
and the Department of Justice, bearing
on the progress of the preparation of
the case and the multitude of details
involved in what is expected to be one
of the most important proceedings ever
brought by the Government with re-
spect to restraint of trade.
