Washington, Jan. 10.-The Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company has de-
posted 100000 in cash in the United
States treasury to compromise its
civil liabilities in the sugar drawback
at New York. Secretary McVeagh
probably will accept the money today
for the government. Henry A. Wise,
district attorney at New York, and
attorneys of the department of JUS
tice have advised the secretary to ac-
cept it. If accepted, it settles the
governments civil claims only and
does not prejudice the right of Grim

Judge e. V. Long represented the
plaintiff in the case and Davis and
Clark represented the administra-
tors.
This is one of several claims for
portions of the Bernal estate that
Judge Martinez has heard recently.
Saturday he heard the claim of Rosa
Bernal, who applied for $2,4O0, which
she alleged was due her for services
performed in the household of Mr..
Bernal at the rate of $12O a year
for twenty years. The woman is an
Indian and set up the claim that she
was purchased by Mr. Bernal from
the Navajos in 1861. Another woman,
the daughter of Rosa Bernal, also
applied for $3.50 claiming it was due
her for services performed. Both
claims were rejected by Judge Mar
tinez
The late Juan Bernal was a wealthy
man. He was the owner of a large
ranch in this county. He died about
a year ago. So many claims have
been presented against the estate
that its final settlement is proving
difficult.
This morning Judge Martinez heard
the final report of the administrator
Of the estate of Jesus Martinez.

BY United Press Wire.

Ottawa, Ont. Sept. 13.-Both pollti-
cal parties In Canada aLA confident OF
victory in the reciprocity election on
Thursday of next week. but Che bet
ting today favors the Liberals and
reciprocity. In the last house, Sir
Wilfred I4aurer had majority OF
forty-hve of the 221 seats. He is
counting on majority at least as
large in the next commons, expecting
TO- make up in the Prairie and mari
time provinces for any losses in que
bee.
The Conservatives point out that
they need only gain twenty seats To
make it impossible for the govern
ment TO lamain in office. They are
emphasizing the unfriendly tariff

ed from the United states, the state
ments OF American statesmen as to
the probability of reciprocity leading

Hull's message to the Canadian peo-
pie during the war of 1872, when he
urged them to escape British tyranny.
II seems probable that tie manu-
featuring centers will be against the

ton of duties on natural products is
but the thin edge of the wedge The
Conservatives expect to increase their
majority of sixteen in Ontario to thir-
ty and In Quebec almost TO wipe out
the Laurler majority of forty-one.
Sir Wilfrid is very hopeful that the
farmers will keep down the Conser-
vative majority in Ontario.
Altogether, wing to break of
party ties the result is very uncer-
tain, but most authorities today pre-
dicted a slightly reduced majority for
the government and it's reciprocity
policy.
