THE PROFITS of the sugar reliners are
so enormous, by reason of the Mckin-
ley bill, that even 4 rank republican
protectionist in Congress, from the
North, has felt called upon to denounce
the unjust and Ubiquitous sugar sched-
ule of that bill. And that all he
SAYS against that schedule is true, is
proved by his statement, if that be re-
liable-and he has the reputation of be-
inc reliable man-that on an invested
capital of eighteen million, the sugar
refners make an annual profit of TWEEN
ty-one million. But the remedy he
recommends would, if adopted, only in
crease the evil, to the public, as ii is, not
the repeal of the tariff tax on refined
sugar, but the rcimposition of that
which was removed from raw sugar.

Asia Buruaga Expects No War
With Chill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Senor George
Asia Buruaga, the CHILEAN charge daft
flares in Washington during the admin
istration of the late President Balma-
ceda, was the only foreigner not in Off
cial position invited to the breakfast
given by Secretary Blaine to the diplo-
matte corps on New Years day. He met
Mr.. MOntt, the Gillian minister, at this
gathering, and the meeting between
the two was thoroughly cordial. Mr..
Asia Buruaga believes that the present
controversy with Chilli will reach an
amicable settlement, and in an utter
view about it said:
although Gillian by birth, / re-
gard the United States as my home. A
difficulty between the two countries
would, therefore. be to me peculiarly
painful. l am endeavoring to use all
my Influence to bring this trouble to a
peaceful conclusion. and one that will
be dignitied to both nations. l have
made it personal matter to direct all
my conversation with those in official
position toward bringing about mu-
tual good understanding. | consider
that war between the United States
and Chilli would result terribly to
the smaller nation and would certainly
add nothing to the glory of the larger.
The spectacle of sister republics at war
would be distressing to all who have
faith in free institutions, and believe
that such war would destroy the sys-
tenn Of republics which has been reared

Asia Buruaga speaks in the highest
terms of the new Chifian minister of
foreign affairs. who, he says. is a man of
good Judgment and conservative char
acter. He looks forward to a friendly
settlement under the administration of
the new minister.

HARRINGTON DIsCoURrEous.
Gladstonians Protest Against His
Partisan Remarks.

OfdOSCOutdnS IrOteSC Against fllS
Partisan Remarks.
LONDON, Jan. 3.-The Gladstonians
are indignant at the tenor of the address
in which Lord Harrington, hitherto
leader of the Unionist forces in the
house of commons. babe farewell to his
constituents Of Rosendale. on the occa-
sion of his succession to the dukedOm of
DevonShire, and consequent assumption
of seat in the house of lords. The I'M
written law in such cases is that the
peer snail not interfere in any way with
the contest between the rival candidates
for the seat III the house of commons
which he vacateS. 1t is cOntended by
the Liberals that Lord Harrington vio-
lated this rule by making his address
an election appeal pure and simple in
behalf of Brooks, the Unionist nominee
for the vacant seat. Ii the Liberal can
dldate is defeated the question of I'M
seating Brooks on the ground Of undue
influence is likely to be raised in parlia-
ment. Such a protest would have
very good chance of being successful,
for there is hardly anything so much in
sisted upon in parliament as observance
OF presidents, and the unwritten laws
governing elections are as strongly en-
forced as the written ones. The house
is very jealous of its perrogativeS, and
Is quick to resent any dictation from the
lords; so that if it appears that Lord
Hartington'S efforts on Brooks behalf
have material influence in the result of
the election, even the respect the house
feels for one who has been so prominent
among its members will not prevent its
taking action in the premises.

AFTER SHORT SELLERS.
Washburn Interviewed ON Hi.
Famous Option Bill.

Washburn interviewed on His
Famous Option Bill.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Senator W. d.
Washburn, Of Minnesota, author and
introducer of the option bill presented
to the United States senate last month,
was in the city today, en- route to Wash
ington. To an Inter Ocean reporter he
said:
Il have just finished reading an inter-
view in your paper with Mr.. Counsel
man, i'll which that gentleman severely
criticised the bill introduced by me to
prevent grain gambling. am not sur
priSed at his hostility nor disturbed by
the sarcastic references to my phil
anthropy in the premises, for any effort
directed toward the curtailment of the
great evil known as short selling is
expected to call down the wrath OF all
dealers in illegitimate or fiat grain.
"What L want to do is to stop the per-
nicious, demoraliZing practice known as
short selling where man can go on
the board without kernel of grain, real
or prospective, and sell million BUSH
els, depressing the market the same as
if so much grain had been dumped
on it.
"Mr PiIlsbury, the largest buyer of
real wheat in the world. tells me that
there are men in Minneapolis, with
their offices in their hats, who sell more
wheat in a year than he buys"
Referring to the meeting of the Min
neapoliS chamber of commerce. called
Saturday for conference with him, the
senator said:
''Of course, the board of trade folks
up there occupy the same position as
the Chica go board, save that they be-
lieve the bill means the utter revolution
of all trading i'll futureS; but they will
find their mistake when the bill be-
comes a law and goes into effect. r
"A very interesting table came across
the other day selects ten days from
April to October in 1890, and shows that
in those days, while the actual sales of
wheat amounted to 337,SO0 bushels, the
sales Of optional or fictitious wheat were
125. 100000 bushels. On April IA. 1899,
the New York spectators sold 4,OO0,-
600 bushels of fat wheat. prob
ably more than twice as much as
reached that city during the year. and
actual sales that day were but 6,000
bushels. Were it not for the boards of
trade. think every bushel of wheat
would be worth 20 cents more today.
In fact, all Europe is astonished that
it is getting our wheat today for
such ridlculOuSly low prices c0nSld-
ering all the circumstances. They
expected to pay more. and it is an ont
rage upon the producer that he should
be sacrificed to relentless greed and
the disreputable deals of short sellers
on our boards of trade. In my opinion
some kind of relief will be granted the
producer in restrictive law that will
preserve all the good features in future
dealing and eliminate the bad"

IS WILLIAM INSANE?
He Makes Another OF His Funny
Breaks at POtsdam.

BERLIN, Jan. 3.-The buzz of COM
ment which follows manifestations of
eccentricity by the kaiser is now heard
as the outcome of an incident which
occurred Christmas day. After the re-
ligious service had been held at Pots
dam on the morning of that day. the
emperor summoned the commanders of
the various regiments of the garrison to
meet him in the church, and, addressing
them collectively, said: Pray to all
officers who cannot dance not to attend
the court Dances" The selection of
such place and time for the making of
such request has caused astonish-
ment, aside fiom the rather peculiar
nature of the request or order itself.

grande, member of the chamber of dep
ties and eX-minister of commerce, on
the subject of the commercial treaty me-
gotiations between France and the

of commerce, as | consider them danger
Gus instruments for the government to
handle. But if the ministry has decid-
ed to enter into new contracts, in face
of the clearly expressed desires of par
lament to the contrary, | will be happy
to learn of the conclusion of treaty
with the United States. The friendly
feeling personally entertain for Amer
lea is we'll known. Everything tending
to Increase our commercial relations
with America will have my warmest ap-
proval. | believe that France and the
United States will profit from reciproc-
lty; for both are naturally adapted to
follow an identical pellcy in economies
as we'll as in politics.

tect the surveyors and builders of the
Siberian road, and have now eighteen
battalions OF troops of 1000 men each,
nine squadrons of cavalry and brigade
of artillery of six batteries. We need
them all, too, for the road runs close to
the Chinese frontier, and the country is
in an extremely. turbulent state. The
other divisions have been surveyed, and
the line has been extended 1,7OO miles

1t Will Be Given Thorough Test
Soon.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-Irvin Scott,
of the Union Iron works, received Off
cial information yesterday respecting
the armor of the Monterey, the new bat
tie ship. 1Her barbette plates are ali
for ged, bent, tested and cut to rough
lengths. They are all sufficiently uni
form in quality to stand or fall by
the ballistlc test which will take
place at the proving grounds near
Washington soon. If the plate passes
through the ordeal, the last of the bar
bette plates should be shipped by Feb.
to San Francisco. The remaining
plates will probably be presented dur
ing the early part of this month. If the
sample stands the test. shipments will
be commenced next month, and rapidly
be followed by the remainder of her
armor. Assurance is given that there
will be no unnecessary delay in the
completion and forwarding of material.
When it arrives the Union Iron works
will make all speed to place the armor
in position.

SHE Has A BABE.
Child Born to the Notorious Mrs.
Osborne

LONDON, Jan. 3.-The Sunday Sun
announces that Mrs. Osborne, who dis
appeared after the exposure of her guilt
in stealing and selling Mrs. Hargreave's
jewels, has, since her flight, been de-
liVered of child. 1t was on account of
her delicate condi ton at the time of her
trial that so much sympathy was felt
fol the erring woman. and it is probable
that this had something to do with the
ease with which she slipped out of sight
without interference from the authOri-
ties. Her exact whereabouts are still
unknown to the public. The bank
notes which Mrs. Osborne received in
payment for the gems, and which she
Endorsed with her maiden name, are
coming to light here and there. The
police are able to discern, by means of
the Endorsements thereon, that the
money was paid out by Mrs. Osborne
chiefly in liquidation of dressmakers'
and milliners' bills.

company stand ready to strike, and

eral hundred skilled workmen in two
departments walked out yesterday, and.
unless all signs fail, the strike will be-
come general. Nothing else was talked
of last night. Groups of men met on
every corner despite the bitter cold
and discussed the situation. Fwo
weeks ago there were rumors
that a general cut-down was con-
templated 10y the management. These
rumOrS were verified on the pay day
following, when the employees found
their wages decreased from 10 to 90 per
cent. The employees of the jewelry
room at once quit work. They were
then told by the officials that the reduc-
ton would be made up in the next pay
roll, and that hereafter the Old schedule
would be i'll force. but they are not sat
istied with this promise, and the senti-
ment expressed is that strike is ineyi-
