RII Not Seriously Compete with PrOduo-
lions in this Country.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1~s.-Replying to a
resolution of inquiry, Secretary Wilson
sent to the senate a statement con-
corning the production of sugar in
this country. and his opinion of the
effect the importation of Hawaiian
sugar has upon the production of beet
sugar in the United States. He gave
the average Importation of sugar to
this country for the past seven years as
BIOL, SIS, 1913 worth, of which the Ha-
syaiian importation was 50, s7S, 924.
He concludes that Hawaii will not
seriously compete with sugar produc-
ers in the United States, and says that
-.when the people of those islands
come to consider the possibilities OF
coffee production it will be found that
thew have a monopoly with which no
@tate in the Union can interfere"

AMERICAN
Relief For the Cuban Sufferers Will BE
Honestly Distributed.

Relief For the Cuban Sufferers Will Be
Honestly Distributed.
WASHINGTON, ian. 16. The state
department mas taken official notice
of complaints alleging that the Spanish
officials in Cuba had been placing
obstacles in the way of the free ad-
mission of food and other sup
plies sent to Cuba for the relief of the
suffering. While the officials believe
that there is no solid foundation for
these complaints, a cablegram has
been sent to Gen. Lee directing him to
investigate their correctness, and if
necessary, prevent any delays in the
landing of shipments of stores, if it
be possible to do so.
The following statement was issued
from the state department yesterday:
1.-The call having been made by the
president for money and supplies for
the suffering Cubans, and some doubt
seeming to exist that money and sup
plies made in response to such call may
not be honestly and impartially distrib-
uted to the suffering people for whom
the donations were made, it is
thought proper to give this public
notice in the way of an assurance that
all such donations will be distributed
through Consul-General Lee and other
authorized agents cooperating with
him in Cuba. No doubt is entertained
by the president or by the secretary of
state that every dollar and every arti-
Gle of clothing for the benefit OF the
suffering in Cuba will be properly dis
tributed.n

The Empire State Can Boast the Second
Largest City in the World, But IL Figure,
Count for Anything Its Citizens VIII
Have to Pay n Big Price for the Distinc-
tion.
NEW YORK. Jan. 19.-The considera-
ton of the budget for the greater city
has begun in earnest by the board of
estimate. 1t foreshadows an enor-
nous total, perhaps 500, OOo, 900. and
that the cost of government
will be immensely increased in
stead of being decreased as
expected by the act of consolidation.
For the mayors office there was an in
crease of from SIS, 900 to $50. 600. Mayor
Van Wyck explained that he was COM
PEELED to have a larger clerical force,
so that all warrants, stocks and ponds
which he has to sign should be proper
ly entered.
But the extraordinary increase in
patronage caused by the charter be-
gan to be seen when the figures for
the local Legislative assembly were
presented. The only item to compare
with was the $50. 900 allowed the COM
mon council in the budget adopted by
the Strong administration for 1897.
City Clerk p. J. Scully asked for $780,
600, made up in this way:
Council salaries. Sos, 900; aldermen's
salaries, SS7, 800, and the remainder in
city and borough clerks salaries. In
addition to these salaries, etc, came
the demands of the borough presidents
for their own pay and for statfs OF
clerks. Every division of the
new government will have branch
offices and clerks in the boroughs as
well as special clerks in the main office.
The total for general administration,
auditing bureau, collection of taxes,
$40, 423. rs.

A~LExANDER'S PROTEST.
Bitter Invectives Against State Senate
Burke who Voted Against Hanna.

Bitter Invectives Against State Senator
Burke who Voted Against Hanna.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. l9.-In the sem
ate to-day there was n sensational and
unexpected ~outcrOpping of the bitter
ness e~ngendered by the senatorial
fight. When the standing committees
were reported Senator Alexander pre-
scented a formal protest against the
placing of the name of Senator Burke,
of Cuyahoga county, the only republic
can member of the senate who did not
vote for Mr.. Hanna, on the committee.
In his protest Mr.. Alexander, among
other things, said:
Il hereby desire to recotd my earn
est protest against the placing of the
name of Vernon H. Burke upon COM
mittees Of this senate upon which hon.
orable gentlemen have been selected
to serve. To force by the majority
votes of this body the association of
this betrayer of party trusts with those
whose honor and sense of duty would
shrink from such conduct, is to offer a
reward for treason to party, to princi-
pie and to American manhood.
II protest against the violation of
party and personal pledges, and I
hereby declare it my duty to hold the
party who voluntarily places his
pledges before the people in securing
their votes as fully responsible to them
as he is morally responsible to his
Maker.
And for these and many other rea-
sons dear to American citizenship. 7
here and now enter this protest against
the enforcing of this political traitor
into the presence DR. company of HON
orable men,"
There was immediate objection from
the democratic members to the lam
guage of the protest, but a motion to
expungc Objectionable phrases was
ruled put of order by the president. on
the ground that the protest was made
under a constitutional right.
Senator Sullivaa (rep.), although diff
fering from Senator Burke on the sem
storial election, said he regarded the
protest as inappropriate.
After the protest had been allowed
t o go on the records, Senator Cohen
introduced and had passed a resolu-
ton declaring that the senate did not
ag rec or sympathize with tho express
sions of the protest.

vate Gain.
Dies MONIES, Ia, Jan. 19.-The two
penitentiaries of the state and the asy-
lum for deaf and dumb at Council
Bluffs receive the bulk of censure in
the report of the legislative investiga-
ton committee. All the institutions
are taken to task for lax bookkeeping
and unbusineSslike methods. The
agricultural college at Ames, the state
university at Iowa City, the soldiers
orphans home at Davenport, and the
industrial schools at Mitchellyille and
Eldora get off easy.
Excessive salaries are found to have
been drawn at Anamosa ~penitentiary
and the general system is unbusiness-
like. Architects bought material with
out specifications on file and none was
bought under advertisement for bids.
The committee says the system would
not be tolerated by corporations or in
dividuals.
The asylum for the deaf and dumb
at Council Bluffs purchased supplies
without reference to market values or
the quality of goods received. Large
quantities of meat were purchased
from a butcher who charged retail
prices for wholesale deliveries.
The board of trustees of the agricul-
tural college at Ames drew more than
the thirty days salary allowed by law.
The committee takes a decided stand
for competitive bids for supplies. 1t
finds that the support fund, intended
for the use of keeping inmates, has
been diverted in almost every institu-
ton to paying salaries and other bills
not contemplated by the statute.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intiamed you nave n rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
