DEC1sIOH OF INTERNATIONAL. IMPORTANCE
RENDERED BY THE SWISS FEDERAL COUNCIL.
Berne. Dec. s0--The Swiss Federal Council to-
day rendered decision in tho matter Of the arb:ra-
'icn Of the claims Of the French merchant and
ship-owner. VI. Fabiani. against the Republic of
Venezuela under the Administration OF The former
President Blanco. Fabiani asserted that Blanco
had ruined him. and his claims for indemnity were
submitted to the Presidcn; OF tho Swiss tonfocra-
tion for arbitration In 1881.
The Federal Council in 1893 directed Professor
Nrgilc Kosse OF the University of Berne 10 OK
anime the case and give legal opinion of the ac-
lion OF the Venezuelan Executive toward the COM
The award promulgated By tho Federal Council to-
day simply recognizes the fact that Justice was
denied to Fabiani. and fixes the Indemnity to he
paid TO him by the Republc of Venezuela at 1876 :

interested in the establishment and development
of the beet-sugar industry. Among other things
he said: 1T required every pound OF the wheat
and flour exported by the United States during
the last fiscal year to pay for the sugar import
ed The total value of all live and dressed beef
beef products and lard exported during the last
year barely equalled the amount paid for I'M
ported sugar Our immense expert trade In cot
ton represents in value only twice as much as
our import Of sugar. Our vast export OF to-
bacco must he magnfed thrice to counferbal-
ance sugar imports The barley. oats rye, FRUITS
and nuts. hops. vegetable oils, oleomargarine
butter and cheese. pork and hams that were ex-
ported last year. all put together. represent In
value only two-thirds Of the sugar imported.
"An acre OF corn at the West. yielding forty
bushels Of grain. worth Is cents per bushel. will
buy something more than 100 pounds OF granuN
lated sugar at the grocery store. That same
acre Of land devoted to sugar beets VIII produce
1000 to 5000 pounds OF refined sugar. ike the
finest white sugar you can buy the corn
under such conditions returns about S6 per acre
for all the labor and capital invested In that crop
Sugar beets yield $50 to $50 per acre and while
they require far more labor. they pay for 1t and
leave net profit Of $40 to S2j per acre. which is
handsome compared to the meagre returns from
corn. wheat, oats, etc. The labor item ~ OF
vast importance. In Californian experience. for
every man who gets job on grain crop forty
one are employed to raise beets: The labor on
225 acres of beets. yielding 6.0S2 tons (incuding
$500 payroll at factory during the manufacture
Of this lot). was $4,000: the same land in barley
required only $500 for labor"
In conclusion Mr.. Myrick said that the farmers
emphatic in their demand for suitable pro-
lection for the beet sugar industry. and added
During the last sixty days farmers organiza-
tiOns have been founded in several hundred
counties to advance their interests In raising
sugar beets, in securing factories to work up the
crop. to obtain needed legislation to develop the
industry. and to protect it against the Trust. 1t
is now proposed to unite these and hundreds OF
new organizations in National Sugar Beet
Growers Society"
Thomas r. Cutler of Utah. also submitted an
interesting statement in behalf OF the beet sugar
industry and in favor Of the abrogation OF the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty.
The committee adjourned until Tomorrow
when those interested in wood and manufactures
thereof. pulp and paper. will he heard.

TWO SENATOR'S IN TOWN.

Senator William Lindsay, Of Kentucky, was a
guest at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. When
asked ahou. the fight for Senator in his State he
answered: "If you knew how much hard feeling
that contest has stirred up. and how man has
been taken to task for the most lightly expressed
remark, you wouldn't ask to say anything
must not talk about It,"
"A Republican Will be elected?
"Cm-m-m-ukely." was the reply
The Cuban resolution then referred 10. Il
am inclined to think 1t Will pass the Senate" said
the Senator but It's fate in the House is problem
atica. What 1t will accomplish do not care to
prophesy. The only thing that will defeat II in tho
Senate, In my opinion. is shortness of time 1t will
be discussed del lberately and the discussion may
