BEET SUGAR AT STOCKTON.
Claus Sprec<cIs Looks at Lands and
says He VIII Build Factory.

Claus SprecIxcIs Looks at Lands and
say. He VIII Build "A Factory.
STOCKTON, Nov. S.-That Claus
Spreckels has plans which will insure
TO the benefit of Stockton, was made
evident by his actions while in the
city today Ostensibly he came in
connection with the building Of the
Valley road, but the principal portion
of his time today was spent in looking
over the country to the west OF the
city, with view TO purchasing some
of il for the cultivation Of the sugar
beet.
The title Of The Sugar King" as
given to Mr.. Spreckels is not TO be lost
in the title which comes to him as
the President of the Valley Railroad,
and il is the intention of the Sugar
King" to build other beet-sugar fac
tories in California, one of which will
be located in Stockton. This after
noon while other visitors made trip
TO the front to watch the workmen at
their track laying, Mr.. Spreckels took
a drive of tbirty-five miles about the
country west OF the city, visiting pOr-
tiOns Of Roberts and Union islands,
where the rich, fertile lands have
been reclaimed, and where there are
other acres, just as rich to be reclaim
ed. The companion Of Mr.. Spreckels
on the trip was Thomas Magee, who
is acknowledged to be one OF the best
judges of lands in the State, and
whose articles on the uses to which
lands in California may be put, have
received wide publication.
When asked regarding bis hard
drive, which he acknowledged was
not one of pleasure, Mr.. Spreckels
said: ave have been looking at land
that is suitable for the cultivation of
the sugar beet. / shall, some time
soon, build other factories for the
manufacture of beet sugar in Cali
fornia, and all things considered 1
think that Stockton is favOrably To-
Gated for the establishment of one of
them here.
''The reclaimed lands at which we
were looking today are capable of
raising beets with a large percentage
of sugar in them. In fact, there is
little trouble in raising them in Cali
fornia. In and about Stockton there
Is so much land Of the reclaimed
character and so much more that can
be reclaimed that / consider the city
an advantageous position for such
factory. Besides that there is the
idea of making business for the new
road"
Where will the factory be Iocated?"
Here"
"But whereabouts in Stockholm"
ooh, that is something for future
consideration. / have not fully ma
tured the plans, but may have some
thing of interest to say on the occasion
of my next visit"

Hoped through Lincoln Park in the
afternoon, and all but one of them be-
strobe a regulation mans saddle. The
solitary exception brought up the rear,
as such a woman necessarily must,
and she sat on an old fashioned affair
with the regulation double horns and
single stirrup.
OF the dozen all but four wore di-
vided skirts, and at a distance il was
difficult to note the difference from
the old way. The skirt only fell to
the feet, which showed in the stirrups
and the rider sat more erect than on a
side-saddle, but that was all.
The small boys bestowed their re-
marks and advice on the remaining
four. They wore KnickerbOckers of
the latest cut, and, what is more,
looked well in them.
All the women are members of the
North Side Riding Clue, aud yester-
day was their first appearance in
public.

ArADAGAscAN PRoTECroRATE.

Believed to- Really Amount to Reducing
Madagascar to- a Dependency.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Sit is the
neneral opinion OF State Department
officials that the French have sue
ceeded in making their own terms
with Madagascar, and that the pro-
tectOrate for which the treaty provides
really amounts to making Madagascar
q depeDcy of the French Republic. II
confirms and extends the claims of the
French under the treaty of 1886, and
absolutely nullifies the protocol to
that agreement, which the Malagassy
claimed so modified the treaty as to
give them absolute control over their
internal affairs. The French Govern
ment never recognized the binding
effect of this protocol, nOtwithstand-
ing it was negotiated by the French
Plenipotentiary.
The United States has remained
neutral on this point, apparently
leaving the course to be pursued
largely to the American Consul in
Madagascar. Consul Waller accepted
his exequatur from the native gov
eminent, while Mr.. Wetter applied
for his through the French resident,
on which account the queen refused to
recognize him. He is therefore only
acting consul at this time. This pro
tocol expressly reserved to the Hova
government the right to control the
internal affairs of the island without
French interference. The queen of
the island acted under the terms of
the protocol in making the Waller
concessions. The department officials
are very guarded in discussing the
probable effect of the aunulment of
the protocol. 1t is pointed out, how
ever, that it is usual for this govern
ment to insist upon recognition of her
own treaties regardless of changes of
administration in other countries,
from which il may be inferred that
the United States will demand
that property rights acquired by
American citizens in Madagascar
under the former treaty will be pro-
tected. 1t is not believed, under the
circumstances, that il Waller should
be restored to the possession OF the
grant he would find its occupancy
either pleasant or profitable, and it is
supposed on this account that he
would prefer accepting an indemnity
from France in lieu of the land itself.

In naval circles here today that Ad-

Arthur, will shortly be replaced by
the Emperious, a fighting cruiser of
the first class and sister ship to the
Warspite. For the first time in de-
cade a flagship will winter this year at
Esquimalt, which fact, taken with the
news that a majority OF the ships on

NOT A NATTER OF SURPRISE.

Word comes from washington that the
administration and the treasury officials
are surprised because Of the demand for
gold for export. II such is the case 1T
should b. due to the fact that with all
their theoretical wisdom they have no
practical sense regarding ordinary af-
fairs. II must be that every man who
has been noting the drift of foreign trade
is not surprised because gold goes
abroad. More people have visited Eu-
rope the pas. six months thar during
any recent similar period. This has
drawn upon the gold stock of the coun-
try. Since August. 1894. when the pres
ent tariff went into operation we have
imported a hundred million dollars
worth of goods. In previous years goods
OF this sort had been produced In this
country. During the same period our
exports were less than in the preceding
ear. That is. we have bought more
abroad and sold less the past year than
in most previous years. When all the
bills for the tourists. the imported goods.
the interest on American securities and
the transportation of freight owned here
are added together they are millions in
excess OF the value of the merchandise
which we sell abroad.
The country Is now paying that balance.
II Is paying II In gold. because gold is

Colonel Walker. the new commander
in chief of the G. A. r., says 1t is his
intention, as soon as possible. to insti-
tute a test case in the federal court to
declare whether a pension is a vested
right. 1t is probable the courts would
hold that each case rests on its wi
merits. Fraud vitiates all contracts.
and there can be no vested right to a
pension based on fraudulent representa-
TONS. Neither can there be a vested
right to a greater pension than the facts
in n particular case and the law ap-
plying thereto justify. But If an ap-
plicant has a clear case and establishes
1t in compliance with the law he has a
right to a pension which the govern
ment could not deny. though Congress
has the power to amend the pension
laws or eve repeal all laws on the sub-
ject If 1t sees fit. The Journal favors
the most liberal construction of pension
laws possible. but it. doubts If the vested
right theory will hold. sic

MR.. BUTLER'S FUNERAL
SERVICES TOMORROW AT SECOND
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Bar Meeting Morning May
BE Presided Over BY Gen. Har-
rison-Expressfons.

The body of the late John NJ. Butler win
arrive In the city. over the Big Fcur route.
at 1l:30 O'Clock tomorrow forenoon. 1t has
not yet been decided whether the remains
will be taken directly to the family resi-
dence. at No. 16 North Meridian street. or
to the Second Presbyterian Church., where
the funeral services will take place at 3
o'clock in the afternoon. II is probable,
however, owing TO the limited space OF time
between the arrival of the body and the
hour for holding the funeral services, that
the latter course will be pursued. Yester-
day two kilograms were received from AZ
pheus H. Snow. one outlining the funeral
arrangements as above stated and the other
constituting Rev. j. A. Milburn. William
Jackson and Judge Walker a committee to
take charge of the services and burial. Mr..
Milburn. pastor of the church of which
Mr. Butler was so Ions a member. will
preach the funeral sermon. The burial will
be at Crown Hill. and will be strictly pri-
vate.
Final arrangements were consummated
yesterday afternoon for a memorial meet
ing Of the bench and bar in the United
States Court room at $50 a. m. tomorrow
to take action on the death Of Mr.. Butler.
The trial of the Collins. which is in prog
ress before that tribunal. will be adjourned
temporarily for the occasion: Justice Har-
Ian. of the United States Supreme Court,
and John G. Shanklin, of the Evansville
Courier. have ~telegraphed that they will be
present, and eminent lawyers from this and
adjoining States are expected to attend.
General Harrison left New York en- route
home yesterday, and there is a likelihood
that he will be chosen to preside over the
meeting. General Harrison and Mr.. Butler
were neighbors for many years. and they
have been warm friends.
There was expression Of deep regret in
the law offices of the city yesterday when
1t became generally known that Mr.. Butler
had died the night before in New York. At
his old law Office. in the Lombard Block. it
was recalled that the illness which resulted
fatally was probably contracted on Jan. IS
last. About that time IL was extremely
cold In the city, and Mr.. Butler sat in his
law Office all day muffled in a heavy over
coat He caught a severe cold. which was
greatly augmented a few days after, when
ne went to Chicago to assist In an impor-
tant lawsuit In that city. The streets were
wet and slushy there, and he did considera-
Die walking through them. which added to
the severeness of the cold he already had.
He was rarely seen at his Office from that
time until June, when he took advantage of
a few fair days to drive down and look after
his business.

silver We're the worlds mciey the bal
ance would be paid in silver. IF the
United States were on a silver basis the
difference between the value of the mer-
chandise we sell abroad and that we
purchase there would be paid in gold.
even IL we had TO purchase it at a high
premium. Furthermore. no system of
coinage can prove a remedy. as a class
of financial quacks maintain. Gold goes
out OF the country because we owe 1T
abroad. and for no other reason.
Except for a few months when the ex-
port of cereals and cotton is largest, the
balance of trade will be against the
United States SO long as the present tar
III continues IN force. So long as wool
n shoddy are on the free list, and for
eign-made goods, under the wretched
ad valorem system of imposing duties
under which a duty of 40 per cent may
be reduced to 20 per cent, giving the
lower labor-cost goods the advantage
in the American ma~rkets-there will be
adverse trade balances to be paid in
gold.
When the tariff shall be so revised
that the home producer shall have the
advantage over the foreign competitor,
and thereby be able to supply the home
market. there will be no drain upon the
stock of gold in the United States. The
Cleveland administration and the treas
ury officials seem not to be able to COM
prehend this simple fact. but most peo-
pie of practical rather han theoretical
information will soon understand why
gold leaves the country when we spend
more abroad than we sell to the nations

An Iowa judge has decided that a ma
tional bank is not liable to the penalties
of he State law regarding usury. and
therefore a State court has no jurisdic-
ton OF such a suit. The national bank
law authorizes Them Il" charge the rate

State. and 40 more, and say the taking
OF a higher rate shall be deemed a for
fixture of the entire interest which the
note carries with it, or which has been
agreed to be paid" This is the only
penalty attached i usury by the United
