There is a strong feeling that the
revival of the discriminating duty will
revive American shipping. 1t is pro-
pcsed to add 5 per cent to the sched-
ule rates on all articles not brought by
american vessels. This, the friends
Of the provision say, would cause re-
vival of the shipping industry which
would furnish work for 100000 men
Tor ten years, and a large demand for
ron. steel and other structural ma
terial.
The hope that discriminating duty
may be adopted is based on the declar-
ation in favor of it in the Republican
National platform, and on the passage
in McKinley's letter of acceptance Ill
which he declares that the policy of
discrimination in favor of American
shipping should be promptly adopted
by legislation and fully supported "un-

patch from Athens at midnight says
some of the members of the foreign
legations and other foreign residents
have already left the city, and it is
reported that several of the legations
have advised all foreigners to leave
Greece. This has caused painful
feeling on the part of the Greek pub
lie, which regards it as an unjustified
step. as the foreigners have been
treated with all respect and have at
no time been in any danger whatever.
Moreover, a majority of the foreign
residents are known to favor the
Greek cause.
Certainly the aspect of the city is
very warlike, but considering the ex-
cited state of the public mind the peo-
pie are behaving with moderation and
exhibiting marked self control.

LONDON, March 6.-Despite the

Queen is in perfect health, consider

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
MexIco's Coast Line Changed by
Recent Commissions.


p GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Feb. 2S.-
James Watson, an American who is in
terested in mining property near the
coast of Colima, arrived from Cacaluta
this morning, having left there just
after the recent volcanic and seismic
disturbance. He says that the shock
was very marked at Cacaluta and
along the shore, which is faced by an
immense cliff of black rocks, known
as Roca Negro. Off the cliff the ocean
Is very deep, and it has been custom
airy for vessels to skirt close to the
shore.
Immediately after the disturbance it
was discovered that the water had
shoaled to such an extent that boats
were compelled to keep almost mile
off shore, and in many places, at low
tide, rocks projected above the water.
As the water had been from Is to 20
fathoms deep a hundred yards from
the Roca Negro, it is thought that the
bottom of the ocean for miles along
here has been elevated.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-A strong
effort is being made in commercial
circles here to have introduced in the
new Tariff bill a provision for dis
eliminating duties in favor of articles
imported in American ships. The first
Tariff bill passed contained discrim-
ination of 10 per cent. This remained
in force until 1928, and during the
thirty years of its existence the United
States secured 81 per cent. of the
carrying trade.
The discrimination was then no
longer considered necessary and it was
removed. The ship-owners say that
the shipping industry at once began
to decline until it had fallen to 65 per
cent. at the outbreak of the war. The
interference of foreign nations during
the struggle reduced it TO 80 per cent,
and now the United States controls on

The P~e"' and growing interest

sugar industry makes it we'll to note
with close attention what is going on
in foreign countries in regard to it.
The United States Consul General, in
his latest published report to the De-

vexed problem of sugar legislation has
not been so definitely settled as to
eliminate it from German politics, and
that the sugar manufacturers are pre-
pairing an appeal petitioning for the
passing of a new act to safeguard their
industry.
Such movements in foreign coun-
tries should be closely watched in
the interest of the American industry,
and every advantage and stimulus Eu-

duction Of sugar by their people ought
to be promptly met by an insistent ag-

Germany is the most important

EGYPTIAN RAW SUGAR.
Arrival of Valuable Cargo In United
States.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Mar. Ia
cargo of 5000 tons of raw Egyptian
sugar arrived at this port last night,
on the British steamship North Flint
from Alexandria, consigned to the Nc
Cahan Sugar Refining Company. The
cargo is especially valuable owing to
its high test and in its condition equals
most of the colored sugars sold in the
markets. In many parts of Europe, it
is used for table purposes without re-
filming, being light in color and mass
of saccharine crystals.
The larger part of the cargo, being
above No. 16 Dutch standard, is duti-
able, all raw sugars below No. 16 in
color being admitted free. The sugar
is nearly white and dry as the refined
article.

RLED KANSAS,

Kansas has had to brag a great deal

vociferously Dragged about is the mag
nificent management of her mas lificent
school system. Now astonishing reve-
lations made by Mr. Stryker, Superin-
tendent OF Public Instruction in Kan
sas, show that the school lands OF the
State have been managed not only with
an utter lack of business foresight and
sense, but wrongfully and fraudulent
ly; that a million dollars of the school
fund is in arrears; that no attempt has
been made to enforce payment on any
of the defaulting interest or principal
long past due; that thousands of acres
of school land are held by people who
have no legal title to it; and, finally
that the general school fund is less
than one-half what it might have been
had reasonable care and discretion
been exercised in the sale of the lands
and in collecting the amounts legally
due the State. The endowment for
public schools made to the state by the
