ON the same emount of land as tobac-
co.
4th. 1t brings in ready money, and
there is always good sale for the pro-
duct, as soon as it is pole dried or
cured, and there is no danger Of over
stocking the market.
With these facts before the farmers
of Osceola county, there is every rea-
son why they should engage largely
in tobacco growing, and prospects are
bright for this becoming one of the
greatest tobacco producing regions in
the state.-Kissimmee Valley.

Putnam's Model Tobacco Farm.

The establishment of the model to-
bacco farm by the Cuban experts I'M
der the management of DR.. Mesa, a
Cuban gentleman of culture and of
full knowledge of the tobacco and
cigar business, will be big thing for
the farmers and Putnam county gen
orally, and the possibilities growing
out of it can hardly be overestimated.
In this enterprise several things are
implied. First, that the soil and eli
mate are perfectly adapted to the
growing of the finer grades of tobac-
co-the pure Cuban and famous SUI
matra; the experts saw this from the
growing crops and samples of cured
leaf. Secondly, that it can be pro-
duced in sufficient quantity to make it
remunerative and thirdly, that the
outlook is for good prices for at least
several years to come.
Operating this farm on business and
practical lines, open to the farmers
for observation and inspection, will be
a wonderful stimulus in inducing far
mers to engage in this new industry,
and helpful in showing them how to
perform the various details and
achieve success.
One of the objects of this model

the members of the Putnam County
Tobacco Growers Association free of
cost, in which they may receive in
struction in all the details of the to-
bacco business.
This will, undoubtedly, stimulate
the planting and cultivating of tobac-
co, to the extent that large tobacco
curing house will be necessary, when
the pole cured will be bought and pre-
pared for the manufacturer of fine
cigars; and also the establishment of
cigar factories in Palatka.
We understand that parties are now
ready, with ample capital, to erect
such buildings as may be necessary
FOR the purchase and housing of the
tobacco, as soon as it is grown in suf-
ficient quantity to justify it. Such &C
commodations will be required, no
doubt, for next springs crop.-Palat-

Tobacco Culture in Putnam.

PlanU TOBACCO ana prosper, OF HO'
plant tobacco and wait for prosperity
is the question.
The infant occupation in Putnam
county, under present auspices, is
destined to develop into a strong
healthy industry that will rebound
to the prosperity of this section and
handsome competency for each
planter of the weed.
The committee appointed to confer
with DR.. Mesa, of Tampa, at the last
meeting of the Putnam County Tobac-
co Growers Association, has finished
it's labors, having consummated an
agreement with the Cuban experts to
come to Palatka, take charge of the
curing and selling Of the crop now
growing, and establish model or eX-
detrimental farms in the vicinity of
Palatka for their own benefit and for
the information of those of our people
who engage in the cultivation of to-
bacco, who will have permission to So
licit points from these Cubans from
time to time.
DR.. Mesa and the expert who accom-
panied him here on Tuesday, have
gone to Tampa for the purpose Of OBJ
tainng seed. They will return in
few days and plant seed beds on the
land Just north of L. 4. Canova's resi-
dence, First street, or a fall crop.
Just exactly where the farm will be
located has not been determined as
vet, although several liberal offers of
the use of land free of charge have
been made, notably among which is
ed by Chas. j. Rogero. The accessi-
bility of the land in qestion appeals to
the consideration of those who will
select the site for the proposed farm
The Pencil, Francis, Orange Springs
and Rice Creek roads enter the city
at or near this point, thus making It
convenient for growers to visit the
growing crop and note the methods
employed during it's cultivation. 9th
er lands not so easy of access have
been rendered also.
Messrs. S. w. Rowley, M. Griffin, ST.,
and DR.. w. Ell. Cyrus compose the
committee who made the contract and
signed articles of agreement with the
Cuban experts, who propose to come
here and school our people in the Gu
ban method of cultivating, curing and
preparing our tobacco for market, SO
that it will not be guess work and u
contest with uncertainty, as it would
be otherwise.
The central curing house, or tobac-
co warehouse, will be located at Pa
latka DR.. E. S. Grill having rendered
the use of one of his buildings for
that purpose free of charge for the
first year. 1t is fair to assume that
with the impetus the industry will be
given, and the interest that will be
aroused that building will be erect
ed in few years for the exclusive
purpose. It is also reasonable to ar
que that if tobacco is produced in this
section in sufficient quantities, cigar
factories will be established in Palat
ka, employing help in various num-

WORLDS SUGAR TRUST.
ORGANIZED IN GERMANY
TO CONTROL PRODUCT.
Its Object Is to Raise the Price OF
Sugar-An International Market
Figure to Be Fixed.

LONDON, . eb. 2.-~The Daily
News Berlin correspondent cables
as follows:
A sugar trust is about to be
formed here with the outspoken OBJ
ject of raising the price of the pro-
duct. The syndicate takes into its
hands the control of all sales which
must be at once reported to it by
its members. The syndicate is thus
to be enabled to overloo the CON
ditions of the market and to assist
mills with competent advice.
The syndicate is also to take in
hand the adjustment OF differences
between buyers and mills. A sta
tistical Office will supply informa-
ton on the situation of an interna-
tional sugar market. Certain guam
titles of sugar are to be boarded,
the Board of Directors fixing the
percentage, which is to vary be-
tween 20 and 80 per cent yearly, ac-
cording to the production and mar
ket condition. For this quantity OF
stored sugar an international mar
ket price is to be fixed, below which
it will not be allowed to be sold.

IMPROVE PEARL HARBOR THE MURDERER C0NFESSES
SENATOR FRYE ASKS FOR
AN APPROPRIATION.
Significant Move in the Senate
Reaching Out Towards Hawaii
People Favor Annexation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The Sun
has the following from Washing
ton: The Hawaiian question was
revived in the Senate this after
noon by Senator Frye of Maine.
He introduced an amendment to
the sundry civil bill appropriating
100000 for the improvement of
Pearl harbor. For the United
States to spend money in the i'm
provement of Pearl harbor would
be, in the opinion of the Senator,
an act of sovereignty which, if al
lowed to proceed, would establish
the fact of American possession.
In discussing the subject today
he said: Il have several objects in
introducing this amendment. One
of these is that | believe it will be
well for the United States to eXer-
else an act Of sovereignty in Pearl
'harbor. Our jurisdiction over Pearl
harbor dates from the convention
of 1887. do not imagine that any
objection would be made by the
present Government Of Hawaii to
the exercise of sovereignty by the
United States. AT any rate, it will
do no harm to make the attempt.
But this is not the only reason
why | introduced the amendment.
think it is high time that Pearl
harbOr should be fitted for the OBJ
jects intended under the convention
through which it came under Am
erican control. This is the finest
harbor in the Pacific. 1t is big
enough to float both the American
and British navies without crowd
ing, and the only thing needed to
make it available is to clear away
the bar at its mouth. which Admiral
Walker has reported can be done at
a cost OF 100000 at the outside
1t is too early to talk about annexa-
ton, but if the islands are ever to
be annexed, of course it would be
an advantage to have the harbor
improved. When the amendment
comes up it may bring on more or
less of debate about annexation.
DO you think the country is still
favorable to annexation
81 have no doubt of it. Not much
may be said now, but ii the ques-
tiop should be brought up seriously
yoti would quickly discover what
the feeling was"
But how about the report that
Mr.. Mckinley is opposed to an
neXation?'
81 do not believe he ever sale
anything Of the kind, but | have nc
doubt the sugar interests are a,
hostile to annexation as they have
been all along. The opposition from
the beginning has been due chiefly
to sugar. | am not so sure bu
that the United States will be com
PEELED to take the islands whethe
they are wanted or not. Japan i
looking that way, and the Japanes,
on the islands are beginning to agi
tate for suffrage, which would pu
them in practical control. "

CALMLY SUBMITTED TO BE
LED TO PRISON.
Butler Declares that He Had Con-
federates-Will Pass Through
Here on March II.

Additional advices from San
Francisco by the steamship Mono
wal this morning confirm the news
OF the capture of Butler, the Aus
tralian murderer, substantially as it
was first related in The Star. But
Ter, although positively identified
by Constable Conroy and Detective
Roche as Frank Butler, and by
Capt. Petrie, of the British ship
Olivebank, as Richard Asche,
stuck to it that his true name is Lee
Weller, under which name he
shipped in the Swanhilda, Until the
steamship Monowai left port, when
he is said to have made a partial
confession. The following account
of his confession appears in a
special edition of the Daily Report,
tossed aboard the Monowai as she
left the dock:
Murderer Frank Butler made
confession today that is of more i'm
portance than anytime he mas SAID
since his arrest. He took Constable
Conroy of Sydney into his conf
dence and told him more of the de-
tails of Captain Wellers murder
than have been told to any one else.
He told Conrov that at least two
men beside himself had intimate
knowledge of Weller and that he
would cause their arrest after arriv-
ing in Sydney. He very earnestly
begged the aid of the Australian Of
iicer to clear I'D the case, as he was
sure that by telling the truth and
having his accomplices arrested he
would escape the gallows by be-
coming Queens witness. Butler
was more than anxious to save his
own neck, and told Conroy that he
would tell the whole circumstances
to him. In order to obtain further
information Conroy caused Butler
to promise him another private in
terview, and they will probably
meet late this afternoon.
lie said the murderers, whom he
had as his companions. forced him
10 take Wcller's valise and its con-
tents, and he, never dreaming that
anything Would ever come of the
case, consented. This story differs
materially from the one he told the
other day, when he said that Weller
had been accidentally shot.
Buffers true name has been
found to be Richard Asche, once
a resident and laborer in a laundry
in San Francisco. He has been
identified by numerous people as
Asche, and has recognized many OF
them as old acquaintance.
The murderer will be taken back
to Australia on the Oceanic steam
ship Alameda, which leaves San
Francisco on Marcn 4th. The time
elapsing until the Alameda sails
will be fully consumed in his exam
ination before United States Com
missioner Heacock. He will be ac-
companied on the voyage by De
tectives Roche, McHattie and Con
row
