the West.
Chicago, Dec. 27. The war between the
sug ir trust and tin Arbuckles has invaded
Chicago tirritor. Tlie trust, it is said,
has approached the officers of one of the
large coffee roasting plunts of the Wcbt
with a proposition for the purchase of tlie
same, and the war between the two big
concerns appears destined to spread in
definite!. Tlie first intimation received in Chicago
outside or the immediate parties to the
negotiation!- for a Chicago plant, came
estcrda 111 a circular ibsued b n New
York sugar house, which is considered of
tlie highest authorit in sugur circles, and
w hich stands close to the sugar trust.
Coming from such a source the state
ment is considered reliable, and as un
doubtedl emanating from within Trust
circles
'iho btatcment was as follow s
"'Ihere is ver considerable talk about
tlie American Sugar Refinery Company
having bought the controlling Interest iu
tlie Aoobon Spice Conipan of Toledo, the
second largest coffee roasting plant
in tho United Slates, and
there are rumors of negotia
tions ror the purchas" of the plant or W
I" McLaughlin & Co , at Chlcogo, the
third largest plant in tlie United States
'I hee pure liases, it mndci are no doubt
mused b the iclion or Arbucklc Bros,
who are leported to be pushing Teirw ird
plans and contracts tor tlie erection of a
2,000 barrel capacit sugar refiner in
Brooklii "
The statement was shov n "W 1' Mc
Laughlin Cbterda He would not dmv
that such negotiations had bem broached
b tl e sugar trust people , but stated that
he was not in a j option to talk about it
He said, however, that his plant was i ot
for sale, as he considered that he could
make as much moni out or it as an one
could
He concluded the Interview with the
bigniNcant statement that, of course,
rigures altered i.ihs and that while his
plant was not lor sale hi eould iir!igine
circumstances under which oinc color
might be lent to such a Mute mint as ap
pea red in the rnqular "bniie New Yoik

The band was plaving efiterda and a

"Take him awav He shan't h ive me. I
fooled him, ves, I fooled him, the thief "
In an instant the street was in .in uproar
People rushed from all directions to where

Copjrl.-.lit, 1870, by the United Associated
Pres-jts
Berlin, Dec 27 The pretensions of tlie
German aristocrat, especiall the arm
officer, recruited as he ulwajs is from
the Ji.nl cr families, to be treated as of a
divinelv constituted caste, are undergoing
the severest exposure and criticism from
the progrisslst and hide pendant press
Tlie question Is being discussed whether
the arm Is national, except in tlie seiiae
that the people contribute the rank and
file, pa the inonej to support it, and
allow the aristocrats to monopolize ever
postabovethatornon commissioned officer.
The notion that a career or advancement
is opcD to ail man of abllit applies least
or all to tlie Prussian re iiiients
Progressist papers anal zing tlie condi
tion of the arm show that in fort six
Prussian regitnenu there are onl officers
draw Dfiom the nobilit ,tharintliecavalr,
with 17d orficers, onl one can be re
garded as taken from the bourgeoisie, and
that in the artillcr there is also a single
isolated and probab! most imcotnrortabl
situated orfici r, wl o doc s not belong lo
what is called n "noble fatnil "
Extends Hey ond the Armj .
This grasp or caste upon office extends
leond the arm Into the lower regions
of administration, where It might be sup
posed the Junker would not seek etnplo
inenr. Since the Tauseh process opened
to the public view some of the secrets of
the secret lwllce service, it has been ascer
tained that the grciter number or the
political police orficers are like TaiiKh
and Luctzow, scions of aristocratic fami
lies. The same preference extends throughout
all branches or the administration The
