gressional News.
WAsHINGToN. January 5.-The sub-com-
mittee OF the Senate finance committee to-
day gave q hearing tt, q delegation inter-
ested in tine sugar industry in Louisiana.
Dymond was the speaker. He explained
that the delegation came to ask that the

sugar would ruin the sugar industry, not

also OF the beet sugar industry OF ealiior-
mia and the sorghum industry OF Kansas
THE SUGAR TARIFF.
The committse took recess until 4:30
this afternoon, when it will hear an argu-
ment from W. L. Parkinson OF Fort Scott,
Kansas, who will appear in behalf OF the
sorghum industry Of Kansas.
At the hearing, this afternoon, Parkin-
son and representative Peters spoke in
behalf OF the sorghum sugar producers IN
Kansas, asserting that if the sugar tariH
was undisturbed the business would be
greatly developed in she immediate future.
They objected to the bounty because it
was likely to be OF only temporary dura-
tion.

that state, also spoke against the bounty
system. and pleaded to be left under pres.
ent conditions.

The B,ackhawk Mine is Doing Well.

Says the Husbandman: The Blackhawk
mine of Smiths camp is now proving the
bonanza of the Castles so far as yielding
ready money is concerned. Two men are
now taking out and loading $35 OF ore per
day and Smith Bros, have a contract for
500 tons for which they receive SIS ton
on the dump. The mine is now open 80
that the teams can drive in and load and
the supply is said to be inexhanstible. The
ore is a manganese iron carrying some lead
and silver, and purchased by the smelter
company at Castle for fux. One can
readily understand the value OF the mine
when it is known that lLeIo are millions OF
tons in sight.

THE s,Qv sETTLE1fEN1.



CHICAGO, january 5.--Chiei Engineer +
M. Arthur, o. the Brotherhood Of Lo.
comotive Engineers, arrived this morning
from Cleveland. He was closeted with the
members OF the conference committees, and
the terms Of settlement wore formally sub
mitted to him. The terms OF the truce have
not yet been made public II is considered
probable, however, that the chiei points
agreed upon are that the 20" shall take
the Brotherhood men back as fast as va
cancies occur in the ranks, and that the
black list shall be done away with.
CHICAGO. January BIT transDires that
Mr.. Arthur is going to California, as he
says, 1on private business connected with
the brotherhood" He denied that his
trip had any connection with the threaten
ed strike on the Southern Pacific Railway.
Arthur expressed himself as exceedingly
we'll pleased with the .'Q' settlement. The
terms, he said, were such that they would
meet with the approval OF the Brotherhood
men. He declined to make the terms
known, but said it was far from
q surrender on the part OF the
Brotherhood;.that several items OF import
ance to the Brotherhood had been con-
ceded by the Bulington officials.
SOME OF THE PROBABLE TERMS.
A local paper says man standing high
in railway circle, told the reporter, this
afternoon, that the engineers had aban-
doned their claim for the adjustment OF
the trip system and the Inauguration OF
the mileage plan used by other roads.
They had also withdrawn the demand for
arbitration and for classification OF graded
pay rule.
On the other hand the company con-
sented to employ Brotherhood men in
preference to others, as fast as vacancies
occurred, and would reinstate old employees
whenever it could. The black list is also
done away with. It is also reported that
the compromise will result in the dismissal
OF the prosecution OF the alleged dynamite
ers, but this ia uncertain.

identified with stirring scenes there. The
novelist laid the scene of this next novel i'll
this region and called it "The Spy" When
it was written and appeared the author wns
living in New York. 1t at once attracted
attention, and Cooper found himself a liter
ary lion.
The next ten years Of Cooper's life were the
years Of his greatest literary success Dur
ing this time the famous "Lcather Stocking
Tales" appeared, and at once became very
popular They have since usually been read
by boys from twelve to sixteen years of age.
His books were as much sought in England
as in America His first sea novel, 1.-THE
Pilot" was suggested by Scott's Pirate"
which appeared about that time. Cooper,
who had been n sailor, pronounced 1t lands
mans work aud undertook to produce a
novel that would bear evidence OF having been
written by seaman. He was successful in
"The Pilot" as well as In his other sea
stories.
To the present generation the fact that
Cooper, from being among the most popular
of noyelists became the most unpopular of
men, is almost entirely unknown. There
seems to hnve been want of address, togeth-
er with great combativeness, In his make up,
which produced an unfortunate effect. He
was il, many respects q democrat; in others
n pronounced aristocrat He had grand
idea OF tho future OF the young republic, and
became its champion abroad; but by his out
spoken structures at home on the crudeness Of
