It is said at TVashington that it be easy to agree on a sugar schedule not exclusively in the interest of the Trust, if the financial necessities of Hanna's Ohio campaign did not make it necessary for him to stand in with auch liberal contributors to political as the Sugar Trust has proved itself to be. Thomas Fitchie, 01 Brooklyn, formerly of Newburgh, was for Commissioner of Immigration at Isew York. Mr. Fitchie's principal fitness for the place consists' in the fact that he was an original McKinley man'' and at the Republican State convention last, year nearly precipitated a riot by unfurling an "an advance agent of prosperity" banner.

following the example of Chicago, will impose a tax on bicyclt-s. The matter has alreadv betn informally discussed by members Brooklyn's Common Council and it is agreed that a tax of a dollar a year on each would yield a that would do so much for street improvement and the maintenance of cycle path that cyclists would in the end be gainers by the imposition of the tax.

P. Morgan Securing: Control of the Property--D. and H. Canal Company Also Said to Want It. It is again reported that J.

P.Morgan, representing the combination that is securing control of the coal roads, is alter the Susquehanna and Western. Coupled with the report is a rumor that Mr. Morgan wants to lease the road to the Erie, but this has probably little foundation in fact. For some time past there has been heavy buying of Susquehanna and Western preferred stock, which has recently scored a very marked advance. It was at first thought the buying came Iroiu inside sources, but it isnowbelieved to have been, in the interest of the Morgan syndicate.

The Tribune has the following much more likely story to account for purchases of S. and W. stock: There is a rumor that a large corporation--it is said to be the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company--is steadily buying New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad stock for control. Since the company paid off its. floating debt the management has been much relieved and its Improved credit has undoubtedly aided it in getting business.

Although the property is well managed, there is, nevertheless, a growing belief that there are to be important changes in tbe Board of Directors at the next CA TCWXJJI. CAUGHT BY HIS OWN LAW.
