LETTERS SHOW
FIXING OF PRICE
SpreckeIs Makes Good State
ment About Trust.

New York. July 26.-Claus A. Spreck-
sugar trust, enabled the congressional
committee that for a week has been
taking evidence in New York in It's in
vestigation of the trust to put into its
clusively that the giant combination
was a violator of the Sherman anti
trust law for at least a short time
after the enactment Of that statute
twenty years ago.
Incident to the production of this
documentary evidence the closet skele-
ton Of the great Spreckels family was
dangled m~omentarily before the public.
Mr.. Spreckels said that this policy
Of cutting down had been the entering
wedge in all the bitterness that had
arisen between himself and his father
"a bitterness that lasted for fifteen
years and was only settled five years
ago when his father sent for him.
He told me then" said Mr.. Spreck-
els, that he had made the mistake Of
his life. He said he wanted to make
amends, and he was going to do it by
making me one of his executors. And
SO he did"
The letter, which the committee
found interesting, was n of H. o.
Havemeyer, written, said the witness,
In his own hand. It came when Mr.
Spreckels was In the management Of
the Philadelphia plant and 1t advised
Mr.. spreckels not to do anything fool
ish about selling his sugar. This is
how it read:
Oct. %, 1891.
My Dear Mr.. C. A. spreckels-PIease DO
not do anything foolish about selling re.
fined. L am a little ap~prehensive on the
subject, perhaps u~nwarrantably. I think
you could safely keep q week or SO ahead
TO protect yourself, but raw might turn
against you or refined advance. We are
4 lie, asking ~ and oversold.
Do get all you can for your product.
Has anything irrftated you? Yours GIN
cerely, II. O. H.
The letter was written on the front
and back of a double sheet Of note
paper, and In answer from a commit
teeman Mr.. ~spreckels said that be did
not see that 1t had ever been copied in
a letter press.
The three other letters were from
John e. Searles. In one Mr.. Sp1eckels
was told about a raise In price and
was asked to follow 1t. In another he
was taken to task for not reducing
his MEETINGS, and in a third he was in
formed that he was simply throwing
money away.
In each case Mr.. spreckels said he
made no reply whatever.
The committee finished Its work in
this city, and all but one of It's mem
bers returned to Washington. Repre-
sentative Madison had not finished his
perusal of the minutes of directors and
executive committee meetings Of the
American Sugar Refining company and
remained over. The next session of

Nebraska Democrats Refuse to Take
Up fractional Fight.
Fremont, Neb., July 20-The Demo
cratic state convention was a very
timid affair in contrast with the ad-
vance notices. 1t was controlled from
beginning to end by a combination OF
leaders who had decided that harmony
should prevail. This was based on an
insistance that party victory would be
impossible II any row was permitted
1t was acquiesced in by the representa-
tives of Bryan and Dahlman and other
leaders Of the antt-Bryan faction after
each had been shown that neither pos
sessed sufficient following to secure
either commentator or condemnation
of Bryan. The harmony men, who
were mainly composed Of anti-Bryan
Democrats, sought for a time to secure
an Endorsement, but were ruled out by
the leader, who feared this would
bring about the trouble they feared.
The way to full peace was opened
by the announcement of the represent
atives of Bryan that they would not
insist on his name appearing in the
resolutions adopted, and 1t was agreed
that no condemnation of any other
party leader be included. This was
accepted by Dahlman and formed the
basis Of the peace pact
NJ. F. Harrington of O'Neill presided
over the convention. He congratulate
I'd the Democratic house an enactina
into law the reciprocity bill. He pre-
dicted that its enactment meant the
end of the protective system. John G
