ence with Chairman Cavener and the other
members of tho grievance committee in

A Large Delegation Of California People
En- Route About the Sugar Bounty.
New York, Jan. 5.--Claus Spreckles
will arrive in Washington to-day. The
California congressman say his coming has
nothing to do with the question of the
sugar schedule in the senate tariff bill.
They say he wants to talk with the COM
missioner of agriculture about beet raisin z
and beet sugar in this country. The s.
nance committee are somewhat annoyed to
learn that big delegation Of California
people engaged in sugar raising are on
their way East to see that the proposed
sugar bounty legislation is enacted, as the
committee haveiheard all the testimony
they care Cor on the sugar question. The
democratic senators are very bitter in their
opposition to the proposed bounty and in.
sist that it is radically unconstitutional.
Tho republicans of the finance committee
have practically determined upon this
point, however, and they intend that the
tariff shall be made to pay the bounty.
The bounty which they will propose Is not
to continue for any definite number of
years, but to be announced by an executive
proclamation until such time as the
amount of sugar produced in America
saall equal half OF the amount imported,
when it will cease and the duty be in
creased to q point that will make 1t prsc-
tically prohibitive.

Both gentlemen talk freely about what the

the division OF Dakota; in fact there has
not been single visitor from that section
who has not favored and urged division.
About the only views they express that are
new to the public is their violent opposi-
