PARNELLITES IN DUBLIN.

Representatives From all ireland
to Meet in Conference.
LONDON. March 2O.-At a meeting
of the Parnellite members of the Par
lament on Thursday last it was decid-
ed to request John Redmond to call a
conference of representative Parnel-
lites from all parts of Ireland to meet
in Dublin during the Easter week for
the prospects of the party. This step
was rendered necessary by the recent
attitude of Timothy Harrington. and
it is intended to make vigorous efforts,
both in Ireland and America, to
strengthen the party.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin has is
sued invitations to a meeting at the
Mansion House there to float a Parnell
fund. Already a considerable sum has
been collected for the project and it is
expected it will meet with great sue
cess. 1t is learned that not only Mr.
PaTnells mother. but his brother, John
ParneIl, are in pecuniary want. and but
for the prompt action of Mr.. Redmond
and others they would have lost the
family estate at Wicylow.
Preparations are already on foot in
Ireland to celebrate the centenary of
the rebellion of 1898. A central COM
mittee has beer established in Dublin
and it is expected that large numbers
or Irish Americans will participate.

The Minister also drew the Porte's

at Uskuk, situated about 100 miles

the correct attitude observed by Servia
during the present crisis. expressing
the hope that the Porte would put a
stop TO the existing situation, a contin-

serious consequences.

THE PARIS BOMB WAGON.

An annual credit of $500 francs has
been voted by the Municipal Council
to keep the voiture aux explosifs sup
piled with pneumatic tires, says the
Court Journal. The cart has been used
for carrying many anarchist bombs and
other such weapons which have been
deposited about Paris from time to
time, and the ease of motion which
pneumatic tires would insure is ex-
pected to considerably minimize the
possibilities of sudden explosions while
the bombs are on their journey through
Paris. 1t is reassuring, however, to
note that the pneumatic tires to that
value are not expected to be worn out
solely in the transport of anarchists
bombs, which would foretell lively
times, but are to be used also for or
binary service of the Municipal Lab
oratory, which is not limited entirely to
explosives

Star Baseballists Kick Against
New Regiment Players.

This is a pretty trouble Members
of the Star Baseball Club protest that
they will not play this year against
the professional team, to be put in the
field by the First Regiments. They
say men who played last year in the
best teams of San Francisco, have been
brought to Honolulu and signed.
There is O'Connor, the right field;
Moore, the first base, and. in fact, al
most full team of professionals those
fellows have brought down and signed
against u.s., said Star man last night.
I'VE are amatures, and do not pro-
pose to meet professionals on an anna
ture basis. If they want to play ball,
let them put bona-fide home talent
against the field. That is what we
will do, and what we must require of
them. We are in for the real sport,
we cannot and do not purpose com
peting with professionals"
A leading member of the Regiment
Baseball Team was seen about the
matter and said: ct is true that we
will put in new talent this season; but
the charge that it is professional talent
is absurd on the face of it. Profess
sional baseball talent commands good
price at the coast, and it is not to be
presumed that such would come here
to meet the Stars for glory-plain
glory. Oh, no; they are not looking
for snaps like that. We have amateur
talent only and propose to pit it
against the field. That we will put in
strong team is certain, but, at the
same time, it is fair. We do not expect
TO lose this season, and we expect to
win with the same kind of talent we
shall meet That's ALL
Just how the thing will come out
can not at present be seen. When the
League meets for reorganization there
will undoubtedly be big kick, and
show down" will be necessary. The
Regiments will report about six dark
horses" from the Coast, and will have
to show that they are not profession
ais, before the secretary finishes jot-
ting down LIS minutes.

SUGAR IN DECLINE
Comment Of Sir Charles Bruce ON
the Industry.
PRODUCT OF BRITISH GUIANA
Objections to Granting
Subsidy to Producers.
Application for Relief Made to I'M
perial GoVernment-WiH Meet
With Objections.

The comments which Sir Charles
Bruce makes on the decline of the
sugar industry in the 'Windward ISL
ands in the reports just issued by the
Colonial Office are interesting, mas
much as he declares that they apply
West Indian colonies. Sir Charles
Bruce believes that the main cause OF
this decline is the system OF subsidies
adopted by foreign Governments,
which guarantee the producers a mar
gin of profit even when the price is
below the cost of production What
ever the reason, the decline during the
last fifteen years is very striking. In
St. Vincent, for instance, the value of
the export in 1880 was e12S,603; 10
1895 it was & q, 5S1. In view of these
figures, it is satisfactory to learn that
Professor Harrison, who has reported
on the agricultural prospects of the
islands, holds out great hopes of re-
newed prosperity from scientific treat
ment of the soil and improved ma
tells in his report on ST. Lucia shows
how much Roadway may be made even
against the worst of agricultural de-
preston. The mortgages in posses
sion of the estates of the Central Sugar
Factory Company gave notice of with
drawal from the property. AS the Com
pany itself was entirely without funds,
it seemed certain that the estate would
revert to its natural condition of jun
gle, and that large body of laboreVs
would be thrown out of work. A local
syndicate then came forward and took
over the estates for a year. Il under
stand" says Sir Charles Bruce, that
the estates have been worked with
such superior energy, skill and econo-
my as to realize an immediate profit,
and TO justify the belief that the cult
walton of the property will be perma-
nently maintained and extended, with
profit to the undertakers and evecy
advantage to the colony"

We have received from Mr. J. C.
MCowan, the acting secretary of the
Planters Association of British Gui-
ana, a statement of the case respecting
the Threatened ruin of the colony and
its sugar industry, through the oper-
alton of foreign bounties on sugar.
and of the remedies commended in nc
cordance with the resolutions adopted
at a meeting in Georgetown on Octo-
Der 6, referred to in a communication
from Reuters agent in Georgetown
published in our columns yesterday
The circular now before us is dated
Georgetown, October II. The case of
the planters is presented as follows:
I'D The only agricultural industry Of
the colony is sugar, and the capital in
vested in the plantations and machin-
cry thereon amounts at the present
time to 100000. % The most ap-
proved methods of agriculture and
manufacture are in use. CD We can
produce sugar as cheaRy as any other
cane-sugar producing country in the
world, and more cheaply than unsub-
sidised beet. "a Owing TO foreign boud-
ties. We have struggled for years past
against unfair competitions, and the
recent increase in these bounties
threatens our industry with absolute
extinction. The exports of 1888 amount
ed to 1865 tons of sugar, valued st
e2606,429, or e22 per ton, whereas,
last year QS95), when the exports were
1868 tons, the value of the sugar had
fallen to G999,7 O5, of so per ton
90 The further effect of the recently
increased bounties on the Continent
has been TO stimulate production TO
an extent that has glutted the British
markets, whilst Continental home con-
sumption that is, in the beet-gTowing
countries) has decreased, owing TO the
much increased taxation of the article
(6) The avowed object of the bounties
is TO stamp out the cane-sugar indus
try, as was plainly stated during a re-
cent meeting of the (German) Reich
stag. CThere are over 100000 East In
dian immigrants in the colony, who
have been introduced for the sugar in
dustry at enormous expense, nearly
all of whom are entitled TO return
passage to India at the expense of the
colony, but if the sugar industry be
crushed out. the cost of their return
will fall on the Imperial Government. ."
