FUR SEAL CONTROVERSY.
Administration to Take Active Steps fos
lta Rettlement.

Administrator to Take Active Stops for
It's Settiement.
WASHINGTON. April 10. The admin.
istration proposes to lose no time in
taking up the fur seal controversy. At
tho cabinet meeting on Tuesday it was
decided after q full discussion between
the president and Secretary Sherman
to invite Mr.. John w. Foster to take
charge of the conduct of these matters
under the direction of the secretary Of
state, and MI. G, S. Hamlin, retiring
assistant secretary of the treasury, who
has given the question careful study
for the past four years, was asked to
CO. operate OH behalf of the treasury de-
partment. There is every reason to
believe that there will be hearty CO.
operation between Russia and the
United States on this question, and
probably united action will be taken
by both nations-possibly Japan, to
stop the slaughter now going on at sea.

H TARIFF BILL.
Its Course In the Senate and
Houae.

WASHINGTON, April 10. There is
much uncertainty as to the precise date
the tariff bill will be reported to the
senate. While some of the leading
members of the committee on finance
are sanguine that it will reach that
body by one week from next Monday,
experts employed to assist the commit
tee in shaping up schedules assert that
i. is impossible to complete the bill be-
fore May l.. Senator Allison says that
progress so far made indicates that
when the bill is finally reported it can
be speedily disposed of, as antagonisms
are being avoided, and he believes that
80 days will be all the time required
for debate in the senate. If the bill
reaches the house by June l conferees
will be appointed Immediately, and it
is probable that a week from that date
the measure will 60 to the president.

O BEET SUGAR.
Considerable Information In an Agrieui.
tural Department Bulletin.


WASHINGTON, April 10.-There Is
much information for those identified
with sugar interests in a report just
issued by the agricultural department
on the q beet. In reviewing the
cost of manufacture, it says that in lib
factories reporting i'll Germany, the
mean net profit for each factory was
S32, $40 for the past year. The price
reported paid for beets is usually ficti-
tious, the beet growers owning the fac
tory and p'sfcrring to share in the
general profits rather than to charge a
high price for the beets. First class
beets rarely sell for less than IS n ton.
The Western Beet Sugar company Of
Watsonville, Cal, stated that in the
season of 1859 the cost of manufacture
ing sugar from the beets amounted to
$50 per tor of sugar.
Cost of Manufacture.
The department holds now that with
the best machinery and most econom-
ical profits, beet sugar can be made in
this country, at a cost OF from 3 to 4
eel per pound, when the price of rich
beets does not exceed S. a ton. From
reliable data it is stated that in Europe
the cost of erecting a factory with the
most modern machinery of a capacity
of at least 800 tons of beets per day, is
about 5000, 600. In this country, owing
to increased cost of transportation and
the higher price of labor, the cost
would probably be $3.50, 600. The re-
port discountenances cheap manu-.
featuring processes, and holds out nc
reasonable hope of successfully estab-
fishing a home beet sugar factory, but
predicts with cooperative factory
methods practiced in Europe, in which
beet growing farmers hold part or ma.
jority of the stock will eventually come
into use here. OF ll,572, $40 metric
tons of beets delivered to the German
factories in lS05-O6, there were 1885,.
0O4 tons grown by shareholders.
Seven beet sugar factories are now
shown to be in operation in this coun'
try, and four others are building o.
contemplated.
The rate of increase in sugar con
sumption for % years has been 277 pei
| cent in the United States, l42 in France
I 100 in Germany, lO7 in Austria and "
in England.
