There is not much doubt that an at
tempt will be made in the Senate this
winter to remove the differential duty
on refined sugar-il other words eliml-
nate the protection which the present
tariff law gives to sugar renfilng-and
the attitude which the friends OF pro-
lection should take is going to prove
a somewhat embarrassing matter. IL
the question were simply whether the
business of sugar refining should be pro-
tected to reasonable extent against
foreign competition the answer would
be easy. Sugar refining is just as worthy
OF protection as cotton or wooden mnufac-
turing. But unfortunately this is not
the way the matter will present itself.
Sugar refinin. has become monopoly
in this country. All competition has
been crushed out by one concern. Hence
the control of the price of sugar is en-
tirely in the hands of this one concern
so long as foreign competition is exclud-
ed. The question, then, presented by the
differential duty is whether one concern
shall be protected in its monopoly of a
great business by & duty imposed by the
government. When duty is placed on
cotton manufactures practical guaran-
tee accompanies it that prices will not
be much, if any, increased to the COIL
sumner, because the business is being
distributed among q large number OF
rival concerns competition is sure to
intervene to prevent. But in the
sugar refining business there is no COM
petition to be relied upon to regulate
the price. If the Sugar Trust should
dissolve and the various refneries should
start up under different ownersh1ps not
in collision with one another, it would
be eminently proper to continue the
differential duty on refined sugar. 1t
would then be legitimate protection, and
competition could be trusted to prevent
any con:iderable rise in price. But while
the sugar business is under one control,
and competition is out of the question,
by imposing the differential duty
Congress undoubtedly lays itself
liable to the charge of fostering
monopoly and enabling one great
concern to practically dictate the
price of one of the. nccessaries of life to
the consumer. On the other hand, the
removal of the duty will strike severe
blow at an industry that gives employ
ment to large number OF men, either
reducing their wages or turning them
out OF work altogether. The question of
the differential, therefore, is beset with
difficulties on both sides.

The =" smuggling" which formed SO proml-
nent and disgraceful feature of the
YaIe-Harvard football game seems to
have been entirely absent from the con-
test between Harvard and the University
of Pennsylvania. The players on
both sides appear to have behaved
like gentlemen and to have made no
attempt to win the game by deliberately
disabling their opponents. What casual
ties occurred were the result of acct
dent,so the game furnishes good sample
of football at its best, with all it's brutal
features eliminated. The number of the
wounded Was six, little more than
quarter Of the whole number engaged,
and is none Of the injuries were inten-
tional, this ratio represents the liability
to accident. Il is a pretty large per
cent. SO large as to make it not much
better than IN even chance whether the
football player gets out of the game a
Whole mar or cripple. As prepare
ton for the hattie of life, therefore,
for which it has been recommended, it
would seem to be altogether too uncer-
tain in its results to become part OF

1t is difficult to understand what Presi-
{. deut Hayemeyer of the Sugar Trust
means by saying that Congress is re-
sp0nsible for the shutting down Of the
Ialineries 1t has generally been sup
posed that the sugar schedule Of the
new tar Il law was practically dictated
: BIZ the trust aad gave it all the protec-
tion that ii asked for, and a good deal
more than great many people thought
it ought to have. The differential duty
on refined sugar certainly gave the
Trust as much protection as the differ
entail of the Mckinley law. and proba-
bly, more. Furthermore the delay in
the passage of the bill was of great ad-
vantage to the Trust for it enabled it to
import IA vast quantity of raw sugar duty
free. How then this Congressional ac-
ton which was deemed SO favor
able to the Sugar Trust that it
was severly criticized all over the
land can be responsible for the
shut down of the reineries appears mex
plicable IL Mr. Havemeyer's meaning is
that the fear Of what Congress MAY do
this winter is responsible there may be
some reason in it, though judging from
the firm friendship for the Trust exhib-
tied by several Senators at the last sess-
ion there is not very much ground for
apprehension that Congress will do any
thing to seriously cripple its, business.
In fact there is good deal of mystery at
tending this shutdown which President
Havemeyer's statement has not cleared
up. The suggestion that it is done in
order to influence Congress seems I'M
tenable, for man as bright and able as
Mr.. Havemever could hardly fail tn gag
zIstG.4,5-.-
That auch purpose would be certain to
be found out, and would cause resent
lnent in Congress which would be harm
full to the Trust. The shut down appears
to have been determined upon suddenly,

Mapini Letter to the Chicago Herald.
Malvern w. Creswortb, an English mining
man. well known throughout Southwestern
Mexico. arrived here Today from long over
land journey through the Sierra Madre Noun
tains. his starting point being Curican, near the
Pacific Coast, In the Site OF Sinaloa. He
claims to have visited section OF country
never tefOre visited by white man Of the
present generation. and that he discovered a
large and beautiful deserted city. He states
that the wonderful city Is situated about
eighty miles west OF Lake Colorado. in the very
recesses Of the 81 ira Madres. 1t occupied
basin about ten miles long by eight miles
Wild. Perpendicular cliffs surround the b sin
on all sides, rising TO a height OF hundreds OF
feet. The only entrance TO the CITY Is through
a deep canyon, which has width OF about
thirty feet.
Mr.. Creswortb states that he stumbled on the
secret entrance quite by accident. He gives
vivid description OF the deserted city. Inc
buildings, he says. are constructed OF redstone
blocks, resembling granite. The business
blocks are two and three stories IN height. and
are entirely different In architectural design
from the structures built by the AZtecs and
Spanlards. The streets are very narrow, but
are laid out In regular order. In the city Is
small park, which Is Overrun with rare flowers
and tropical vegetation. He entered the busl-
ness houses and decaying residences, but found
very little of value except some remarkable
and strange ornaments made of stone. He be-
lieyes that the city was looted al The time 1t
was deserted, whenever that may have been.
No records or writings OF any Kind were found,
nor did he discover any skeleton that would
give an idea as TO the race OF people who at
one time inhabited the city. None OF the ma
lives OF that section of the country had ever
heard of the deserted city. MIR. CreswOrth is
making dlligent inquiry of them. MIR. Cres-
worths story is very startling and remarkable,
but it is believed by those TO whom lie has re-
lated his experiences. He will organize an
expedition TO make a thorough exploration OF
