Water Rents.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
1 notice that the Commissioners have
ordered that where a party moves from
one house to another the unused portion
of the rent paid for water on the first
house shall apply on the second one, which
seems but just.
1t would seem equally just that where a
party has paid the years water rent and
the house is subsequently vacated and the
water not used. the unused portion should
be refunded or credited to the party to
apply on future water rents for that or
other premises.
The water rents are required to be paid
from July 1 for the entire year, and II
not infrequently happens that the house is
vacated in one or two months thereafter
and the water shut or.
Under this condition the party Is made
to pay for a years supply, while in fact
he uses the water but one, two or more
months, as the case may be.
If there is to be any change II should be
Just to all alike. w. c. DODGE

ATLANTA, Nov. 8.-Without one word
of discussion the House OF Representa-
tives, by vote of 81 to 3, to-day passed
the anti-football bill, and it is now on its

SUGAR From HAWAII
Contract of Island Planters With the
California RefnerieS viii Expire
Next January.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Referring to ad-
vices from Honolulu which state that
Hawaiian sugar-planters have sold SO 900
tons of the crop of 1898 IN New York, a
director of the American Sugar Refinin g
Company said to-day:
ut Is true that the Hawaiian planters
contract with the California refners ex-
pires on January next and will not be
renewed. In view of the development of
TINS Industry on the Pacific Coast, Cali
forpla retiners decline to renew the con-
tract.
They have contracted for a sufficient
quahtity of raw sugar to supply the needs
of the Pacific Coast. Hawaiian planters
have accordingly contracted with parties
IN New York tor the sale of a part of the
remainder of the crop"
Are American (Trustl Refining Com
pany the parties referred toP'
ut Is said they are not. The American
Sugar Refining Company is inleres ed
wit b Mr.. Sprekels in the Western (Cali-
tornia) Sugar Refining Company. Next
years Hawaiian crop of raw sugar viii.
probably BE- about $50 900 tons, or about
lZ32 per cent of the total consumption OF
thl~ country.
NOW mark this, all Hawaiian sugar
comes into this county free of duty,
Which on the total i'm portation of go, 600
tons Is equivalent to gift to Hawaiian
planters under the present tariff law of
some $40, 000 600 or $12, 00O, 000"

VICTORIA, Nov. S-The steamer George

aimO this afternoon with late news from
Dawson City, brought by Donald Nichoi-
son and other passengers who left there
on September % There was then a great
deal OF anxiety as to food prospects, seven
expected steamers being overdue, and
Nicholson says that without the supplies
they carry there will certainly be priva-
ton and probably starvation.
Skookum GuIch, upon which great ex-
pectations had been based, has proved an
absolute failure outside of the one Dupuy
claim.
Work in the Klondike is still plentiful at
81 80 an hour, an attempt to reduce wages
to 81 being unsuccessful.

had not vet commenced to collect the
proposed royalty of 20 per cent or to re-
serve the alternate claims, not seeing how

SOLDIERS In SUSPENSE.
First United States Infantry at
the Preside Is Awaiting
Further Orders.

The officers and enlisted men of the
First United States Infantry at the Pre-
Sidio are still IN a state of suspense
General Shafter. commanding the De-
partment of California, has given out no
word indicating a change of the situation
The men of the First Regiment do not
know, therefore, whether they will pass
the winter in California or Colorado
Colonel Miles of the First does not fully
indorse the plan of allowing men of his
regiment to remain here for transfer to
the Seventh Infantry. He fancies it would
be better for the service if the band and
all the men belonging to the regiment
should go W here the regiment goes.
1t Is the general opinion at the post
suspension, will soon be issued by the
Secretary of War and that the First In
fantry will go to Fort Logan and the
Seventh come to the Presidio at once.
A dispatch to THE CALL from Denver
gives this view OF the suspension at that
point.
DENVER, Nov. S.-There is considerable
vexatious suspense now being endured by the
chiefs of the various departments at armv
headquarters arising out of the query, us
there to be near change OF the Seventh and
First Infantries or is there not?'
General Otis said to-day he had heard moth
ing from Washington since the last dispatch
temporarily suspen0ing the transfer had been
received. The quartermasters department
likewise professed ignorance of the matter
being in anything save statu quo. The coun-
termand order has caused a sort OF panicky
uneasiness. There is quiet rumor at head
quarters to the effect that the d depar tmeht at
Washington received some kind of tip from
this department which saved the Government
being placed in an awkward predicament 1t
is said that this referred TO the uncertain
state OF ownership of the Union Pacific and
the Governments relations thereto. The day
after the tip was wired from this department.
an answer came ordering a suspension OF the
movement. The work of making ready for
the move, however, has been nearly COM
nj eted at Fort Log an, and should the order for
tranference be received the Seventh Infantry
would be ready to move within few hours

AFTER ALASKAN TRADE.
astounding Figures Submitted BY the
Merchants Freighting
Association.
Association.

LOS ANGELES, Nov 8-Some astound-
ing figures were given tonight in connec-
ton with the exodus that was expected
from this and other countries to the KIon-
dixie. They were put forth at the special
meeting of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association called to listen to A.
c. RuIofson's presentation of the project
OF the Merchants Freighting Association
OF San Francisco, which is designed to
lower freight rates on the Pacific Coast
from the ports of Alaska to those OF Mex
leo and ali intermediate points.
The figures were based, so it was stated,
on estimates made by one OF the San
Francisco corporations most largely in
tereste ed in Alaskan traffic, and were de.
clared to be very conservative. The COM
pany referred to has given it out as its
belief that not less than so 900 people will
pass through Pacific Coast ports for
Alaska from the United States and Europe
within the next year, and that 20, 600 gold
seekers will come from Australia.
At a low estimate it is claimed from the
experience of the past year that each per
son will spend on an. average about $1,000
in Quitting after arrival in. these parIs,
or grand total OF $50, Coz 900.
These facts were cited to show one of
the dement's Cnat WOuIQ result 10 Los An
geIes ndiother'California shipping points
from the establishment of q line of steam
ers that would carry freight at rates in
proportion to the cost of sportation.
Ruofson explained to the members
present that his object in laying before
them the plans OF the association he rep
resented was not to seek any financial aid
from them, but only to gain their moral
support.
"0ur whole object. he said, sis to get
the cities of the Pacific Coast to stand
together and drive the Eastern jobber
from the field which rightly belongs to US.
We are little band of stalwarts against q
horde of Eastern men, who know how to
and do. fight 10 the last ditch for every
inch of comm rcial territory that thew
can secure. In order to win we mustdroD
all petty and foolish rivaries between our
selves and emulate our enemies bv acting
together against the common foe"
The mem bers present discussed the
matter for more than two hours, asking
numerous questions of Rulofson, all OF
which he answered to their entire salts
faction.
