WNsr1NGToN. Jan. Mr.. Carter, the
Hawaiian minister. in conversation with II
representative of the Associated Press to-
day in regard to an extension Of the la
waiian treaty. said the impression that the
treaty had created II sugar monopoly ul

tirely erroneous The combination of SUI

abrogated. lis field OF operations was far
removed from tn" sugar reiincrS of the
East and in this fact alone lazy its advant-
ages Hawaia did not produce sugar
enough to affect the American price to
consumers and therefore injured no
American producers. The price of raw
sugars exported into san francisco was
regulated 10y the market at Manila on the
one hand and at CuDa and Porto Rico ON
the other. The san Francisco purchaser
would not pay any more Tor Hawaiian
sugars than the cost of Manila sugar, nor
would the Hawaiian producer sci! for less

The American export trade to the islands
had under the treaty grown from about
nothing to 81 900 600 Il year. The COnClu-
Sion of the treaty had not only enabled
the islanders to become importers upon
;hcir own account and consumers of
foreign products. but had turned their
trade relations almost entirely toward the
United States. Then, 90, the purchases
made by Americans from Hawaii Were
largely to the profit of Americans, for two
thirds of the sugar estates were owned by
American capitalists, while American cap
ital was largely invested in other ways.
1t was estimated, he said, that the Amer
lean ownership in Hawaiian sugar planta

Cold Hands and Feet.

MEsSRs. G. I. HOOP & Co.: Gentlemen
About one year ago my daughter commenced
taking your Sarsaparila. At that time. she
had very little appetite; could take no long
walks, and her lace was badly broken out
with ahumor. She was low-spirited; troubled
with cold hands and feet; her blood seemed
to be poor, and she was in condition which
caused us great anxiety. After taking one
bottle of your Sarsaparila she began to i'm
prove; and she now has good appetite and
can take much longer walks. Her humor is
nothing compared with what 1t was one year
ago. She is in better spirits, is not troubled
with cold hands and feet as previously And
