The long expected bill of complaint in the Government's suit to dissolve the Sugar Trust was Hied at last In the United States Circuit Court. While the bill Is making the unskilful laugh with joy, it can not but make the Judicious grieve. The bill recites a long list of allegations. alle-gations. These are meant to be eharbes.
