Military and Naval Salutes.
the Editor of The Evening Star:

The communication of Mr.. Mason E.
Mitchell of the Naval Academy concerning
consistency in military and naval salutes
suggests to me that the rule in Germany,
consistently observed, would regulate and
simplify the whole matter. There soldiers
and men of the navy, officers and men
alike, when in uniform, never raise their
caps, but make the military salute by rails
ing the right hand to their temples. They
saluting superior officers and ladies, but
under nc conditions raise the head cover
ing when in uniform. When in civle, out
of uniform, they conform to the customs
ever they salute, friend and acquaintance

just as in the case of almost all the

REED is BUSY.
The Matter of His Committee
Appointments is Up.
And He is Staying at His Hotel
Today to Figure Some.
DINGLEY OF MAINE.
Conceded That He will be Chair
man of Ways and Means.
Henderson and Cannon WantAp-
preparations Chairmanship.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-Speaker Reed
did not appear at the capitol today, and
it was announced that he had remained
at his hotel to work on the formation OF
the committees. 1t has been quietly
limited about that Mr. Reed will
not give out the committees until
the end of next week, and that
Immediately thereafter congress
would adjourn for the Christmas holi-
days, This being the programme quite
number of members see no necessity
for remaining iu Washing ton longer and
several of them. including Mr.. Hopkins
of Illinois, will return 10 their
homes this week. Although moth
ing seems to be absolutely known
concerning the chairmanships of the
leading committees, over which there is
a contest, the impression continues to
grow stronger daily that Mr. Dingley of
Maine will be chairman of ways and
means instead of Mr.. Payne of New
York, who ten days ago was supposed to
be booked for the leadership of the ma
jority on the floor. This week Mr.
DingIey has been recognized by the
speaker to make the motions which
naturally devolve upon the floor leader
and this without other circumstances
has been accepted as almost but not
quite conclusive evidence that he
is to be chairman of ways and means.
Milliken and Boutelle of Maine are also
in line for charmanships, the former
being the ranking member on public
buildings and grounds and the latter on
naval affairs. In the fifty first congress
all three headed committees. AL
most as much uncertainty exists
a hai n Of
appropriations committee as ways and
means. Next to the latter, it is the most
important committee in the house. The
contest is between General Henderson of
Iowa, the present ranking member, and
MT Cannon of Illinois, who would have
been the ranking member had ne not
failed Of election of the Fifty-secoud con-
gress. At first the chances seem 10
favor Mr. Henderson; they now seem
@ point to Mr.. Cannon aud the argument
is being urged that it might not be good
policy to permit Iowa to be at the head
OF the appropriations committees in both
the house and senate. Senator Al
lison heading the appropriations COM
mittee in the senate, MI.
Cannon, however, may be placed on
the committee on rules, if no: at the
head of the appropriations committee.
With Grosvenor of Ohio who it is said
has retired from the contest for the
chairman for the rivers and harbors out
of the way this important craftsmanship is
supposed to lie between Mr.. Herman Of
Oregon and Mr. Hooker of New York.
The chairmanships of the following com
mittees seem to be almost certain:
Foreign affairs, Hit of Illinois;
judiciary, Stone of Pennsylvania; rail
roads, Powers of Vermont; banking,
and currency, Walker, MissssIppi; inter
state commerce, Hepburn. Iowa. Elec-
tions (Which will probably be divided)
Daniels of New York and naval affairs,

JUSTICE MARTIN ON SUGAR
Explains the Causes of the Failure of the
Industry.

Chief Justice David Martin appeared
as attorney in a case before Judge Foster
and he took occasion TO show how the
sugar industry in Kansas and all other
states has gone to pieces
Justice Martin was the attorney in the
foreclosure of the Medicine Lodge
sugar works. and the case was not closed
up before he was appointed. There was
motion to set aside the appraisement
before Judge Foster and Justice Martin
appeared to oppose If.
The Medicine Lodge sugar works were
twice appraised at $500 but no one
would bid that amount and new ap
praisement was ordered. The plant was
then appraised at $4,000. The origina al
cost was 100000 and the depreciation
of the plant was told by Justice Martin.
He said: There is no hope of the
sugar industry Very little is being done
even in Louisiana. l understand that a
little sugar was made at Fort Scott last
year but the amount was very small,
'EPrior to the passage of the Mckinley
tariff law there was high tariff on sugar
which brought the government a revenue
of so, ,O0O.OOO. The Mckinley law dis
posed of this bounty but placed boun-
ty on the production which
had, about the same effect and the pro-
duction of sugar went on as usual.
Then the Democratic congress repealed
the bounty and placed an ad valorem du-
ty on sugar which was to be estimated
on the value of the product in the coun-
try of export, and this makes it amount
to almost nothing. So the government
does not get the revenue, and the sugar
industry is destroyed. Then the state
has reduced the bounty to three
fourths of a cent a pound, and the
manufacture of sugar in Kansas is now
practically out of the question The
plant at Medicine Lodge can not be
operated except at an enormous loss and
if were worth $1,000,000 [ would moi
give 81 900 for it,

San Francisco Agitating Ques>
tiOn of Obtaining Santa Fe. !
Hopes the Road will Extend to
the Gate City Soon.
\ SPLENDID SYSTEM.
Thought a Line will be Built to
1t from MOjave.
California Railroad Officials
Think it Not improbable.

SAN Francisco, Dec 13-The sale of
the Santa Fe road at Topeka has occa-
stoned great deal of gossip in railroad
circles as to the probability of the new
management building from Mojave into
San Francisco. The scaling down of the
debt of the big corporation, as
evidenced by the price the prop
erty brought at the foreclosure
sale, is considered by competent judges
as placing it in healthier financial con-
ditiOn than it has been in the past ten
years. Ripley and Robinson are consid-
cred by local officials as being in favor
of making San Francisco the western
terminus of the line as soon as practical
BILE. The Santa Fe now has its passenger
and freight cars run into and ont of this
city to Mojave by the Southern Pacific in
pursuance of a traffic contract with -Mr.
Huntington. This contract gives the
Santa Fe the right to run its own trains
into San Francisco if it sees fit at any
time to do so. 1t has never avaiIed itself
of this privilege, however, and simply
pays MIR. Huntington a rate of so much
per mile for all it's cars the Southern
Pacific hauls between here and Mo-
jave. The contract provides that either
party may break-it after giving years
notice of intention. No such notice has
been given by the Santa Fe and some of
the Southern Pacific officials say they
do not believe the Santa Fe will break
the contract in the near future They,
however, admitted that the Santa Fs
must necessarily come here some day in
stead of having Mojave for terminus.
While none OF the directors of the San
Joaquin Valley railroad care to b
quoted on the subject, several of them

of the Santa Fe wanting to connect with
it would come prominently before bJth
companieR for serious consideration.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
They are Suggested at the Federation
of Labor Meeting Today.

NEW YORK. Dec. 13.-At the meeting
of the Federation of Labor today the
committee on resolutions was instructed
to draw up a suitable resolution on the
death of Allen g. Thurman.
One revolution which caused much
debate urged that in view of the
fact that the savings of
the working people were subject
to loss through indiscreet investments on
the part of the managers of savings
banks, that the federation memorialize
congress in the interest of establish
ing savings institutions in connection
with the pottoffice department 1t
was urged that under existing
conditions the poor had absolutely no
safe places in which to deposit their
savings. and they never had money
enough to open an account in national
bank, though there they had but little
more protection in case of failure,
were compelled to go to the say
lngs banks, where, it was al
legged, they had absolutely no redress
in case of loss. Postal savings banks, it
was also argued would do away with the
need of bond issues which paid large
profits to syndicates of bankers. Other
speakers said that there had already
been too much financial legislation and
that the remedy was in less legislation
instead of more.
In the discussion which preceded the
fixing of the time for holding the cleo
ton of officers, Delegate Bramwood, from
the printers organization in Denver, sug-
gested that "there is more wire
pulling in the Federation con-
vention" in connection with the
coming election than in any out and
out political convention.
The remark caused considerable argu-
ment, in which it was charged that the
words of the Denver delegate were an
insult to every man on the floor.

Began Yesterday.

CoNsTANTINoPLE Dec. l3.-There was
a disturbance in Stamboul yesterday and
it caused the spread of rumors so alarm

state of panic. This, in view of the pass
age through the Dardanelles of the
British gunboat Dryad, and the Italian
gun boat Archimede formed the basis for
the report that rioting had actually COM
menced: but the trouble was not of 4
serious nature. The cause of the panic
was fierce quarrel between two Armen-
ians in the Stamboul quarter, during
which they came to blows. Finally
one of the Armenians drew revolver
and fred at his opponent The shot was
the signal for an uproar, aud eventually

MAN WITH a BANDAGE.

Hand is Cut.

Scott Carr Said to Bs the Man Whose
Hand is Cut.
1t seems likely that the detectives who
are working on the case have found out
who the actual grave robber was. The only
man whom they have been able to find
who had a bandaged hand after Sunday
night is Scott Carr of North Topeka. It
has been learned that he was wearing a
bandage on his right hand at that time,
and now the officers are unable to find
him.
The officials were led to this clue by the
half drunken talk which "Big George"
Reedy made to crowd Wednesday mig ht
in which he said Doc Mitchell hired
Carr to haul a body for him but had
backed out. The cut hand clue is the
one suggested by the JOURNAL yester-
day.
The person who robbed the grave of
Mrs. a. N. Dake Sunday night cut his
hand on the glass under the coffin lid
and left stains of blood on the casket

"As far as Mr. Leland is con-
cerned we have not been very
friendly for some time. A
great many pleasant things were
said about ar. Leland after the last
/ campaign, and it caused an aggravated
case of swell head. He got to talking
about how he won the campaign until it
became very nauseating to those around,
and I reminded him several times that
the newspapers and people assisted very
utattrldily ana were enlltleu 10 some
credit. This was a serious affroat and
was never forgiven.
Then I opposed him trying to oust
Senator Rogers who had been a very
good man in the senate. was opposed
TO spending. $4,000 to. get a man out of 4
$500 place and this aggravated the feel
ing of Leland against me.
HE was very angry because l wanted
