Sugars share In IL.

~ UGAR is going to be a factor in
~ the Paciic-expansion business.
- A little while ago this country's
b~eet-sugar interest was arrayed against
the annexation of Hawaii on grounds
Of self protection. Already, on grounds
of self interest, beet and the Ha-
waiian product, as well as the planter
interest in Louisiana are ready to make
common cause against the plan for Gu
ban or Philippine annexation.
In fact, there is an enormous differ
ence between Hawaii and Cuba and the
Philippines in respect to sugar-pro-
ducing capacity. Hawaii produces only
about $685. 900. 900 pounds of sugar, which
is less than one-eighth of the sugar re-
quired to satisfy the consumption of the
American people. But Cuba and the
Philippines have an almost unlimited
capacity for growing sugar, n when
taken together, especially with their
production stimulated by admission to
our market duty free, they could prob
ably before many years send us sugar
enough to supply our entire consump-
tive demand.
Annexation under the imperialistic
| plan wouldn't leave the beet sugar in
dustry a leg to stand on. That indus
try is one in which the Nebraska re-
gion covered by the Omaha Bee has a
lively interest. Says a correspondent
whose letter the Bee prints: AS 10
beet sugar interests, | may say that
the industry has been brought to a
standstill by the threatening demands
for territorial expansion. The annexa-
ton of Cubs and the introduction of
Cuban sugar into this country will be
the death knell of the beet sugar inter-
ests of the United States. The annex.
alton of Hawaii Is a severe blow, but its
effects can be overcome. We opposed
the annexation of Hawaii because II
mean to perpetuate the reciprocity
agreement under which Hawaiian sugar
is now admitted free into this country
Hawaii can produce but a small proper
ton Of the sugar needed for American
consumers, but the free admission O
Cuba will be practically turning over
the most valuable market in the world
without any recompense, to the poorl,
paid half-breed sugar producers o
Cuba, with whom no American farme1
could venture TO compete"

Mrs. Csmpbell's Experience.
From the Philipsburg Mail.

From the Philipsburg Mail.
A horse attached to a picket rope and
dragging a cordwood stick caused quite
a scattering on Broadway Monday
evening. The animal became frightened
somewhere West of town and came up
the street at it's best, though somewhat
handicapped by the stick of ood The
runaway was on the sidewalk part of
the time n several accidents were
narrowly avoided Mrs. +. II. Camp
bell, who was in front of the Campbell
Drug company's store at the time with
a baby carriage, had a close call and
escaped by a narrow margin. One wheel
of the baby carriage was struck by the
trailing stick and smashed, but the
child escaped from being hurt. The
horse was finally stopped in it's mad
rush in front of Does drug store, and
as the sidewalks were crowded with
people it was indeed fortunate that no
one vas run over or otherwise seriously
injured.

The first thing to do is to compel these
Cubans 10 disband. They would I'M
doubtedly like to be turned loose TO Pill
lage and kill the Spaniards on the
island Of Cuba. The United States VIII
not permit that-we are bound to pro-
tect these ~Spaniards. There remains
nothing. in the way Of campaigning
except for these fellows to attaek
Americans-they1l not do that many
times, and live to tell the tale. They
should be compelled TO disband forth

The president certainly could not do
a weaker thing or make a more foolish
move than h appointment of Mclean

It's a Good Offer.

n FTER all. it transpires that Mon
~ tana day at the Omaha exposi-
ton will be a very large day-it
will merit a good representation Of peo-
ple from this state. For the occasion,
as the STANDARD learns, a highly credit
able programme will be arranged-it Is
now nearly ready. The state will be
represented by Governor Smith and
other state officers. The Burlington
route stands ready and willing to do
it's share in making the trip to Omaha
for this occasion as popular as possible.
II a fare OF one cent a mile
for all Burlington-route stations in
Montana. II now the other lines ira
versing the state will do as we'll, the
matter Of getting to the exposition will
be brought within the limits Of the
purses of many citizens Of Western
Montana. Really, the fair at Omaha
has merit. Good judges assert, in their
correspondence printed in eastern
~pap that IL is second in this
country to the Chicago worlds fair
only. Tuesday. September 8, is Mon
tana day. Now that the Burlington
has led off. il is TO be hoped that the

They Are Inyincible.

The Anaconda baseball team returned
from Helena yesterday morning. They
covered themselves with glory and were
heartily congratulated upon their good
work. The two games were undoubt-
eddy the best ever put up by the home
team outside of Anaconda.
While in Helena they were treated
royalty and were given the keys of the
town. The ~ttendance at the games
was excellent and the applause was i'm
partial and hearty. The team desires
to acknowledge in addition courtesies
from the Broadwater people, the press
and Messrs. Pelletier and Burridge.
Bob Fisk, the umpire. won unstinted
praise by fair decisions.

FROM HOllONER.
A Letter From One of the Volunteers
With Company NJ.

WIN company VI.
The following letters from Pat Hol-
loner of company NJ, LIST Montana vol
unteers, have been received by his moth
err, Mrs. Holloner. The first one is dat
ed at sea, July q, 1898:
II undertake to drop a line while 1
am at sea about so miles from Homo
lulu. Land is in sight, n it is the first
land We have seen in nearly nine days.
The object in writing at sea is in case
a vessel is leaving at once you can hear
so much sooner. Our trip so far of
1860 miles to Honolulu is just one-third
of the way to Manila. 1t has not been
a very favorable one to me-, n many
more, as the sea was very rough the
first day and night. Every person was
sick. i am just about getting over mine
now, and at present am feeling better
than ever. The meals were not as good
as they ought to have been, but the
government is not to blame, as some of
the officers sell the provisions, and then
the men have to suffer. They made a
fuss once on the ship, and things are
better now, but this steamer is over
crowded, n II is intended to leave
some men at Honolulu, which will make
the balance of the trip more pleasant.
The second letter is dated Honolulu,
July 2S, 1898. Now at Honolulu and
in good health. This is the finest eli
mate that a person ever heard tell of,
n such kindnes shown us is beyond
mention. 1t is not so hot, but refresh
ing to-day. Our regiment was invited
to Dime in the queens palace gardens.
The victuals l could not mention, as
everything you could think of was
there. This place resembles HEAVIER it
self. The queen will be here in a few
days, and then the flag will be raised,
so l will take part in it. l guess the
natives will cry when they see u flag
up and their flag down forever. Still
they know it is for the best. This place
has a good many Japs and Chinese, as
the natives do not care for work.
II will write from Manila to you and
let you know in particular of the flag
raising. / expect to leave here in about
eight days, so you will hardly get this
before | am out to sea-"

A small boy named Buck had a close
call from a serious accident yesterday
evening as the race track cars came
around the corner at Main and Third
streets. He was standing on the end
of the step. one leg hanging below the
cars. and in making the bend the step
of the next car was brought against his
leg. He screamed and fell off. At first
II was thought that the boys leg was
broken, but an examination by DIR.
Snyder showed that it was but a tri-

We are nation of coffee drinkers; half
the coffee grown in the world is consum-
ed in the United States. Our purchases
since 1890 have averaged 800, 600, 600 per
annum in value, but it was reserved for
t he fiscal year 1898 to show the largest
imports of coffee in our history, bringing
the average per capita consumption
among our population up to the highest
point ever known. The coffee importa-
lions for the fiscal year 1898, just ended,
were $40, 514, 215 pounds, which is nearly
20 per cent. greater than in 1897, so per
cent greater than in 1898, practically
double that of 1880, and more than three
times that Of 1874. 1t is of interest, there
fore, to know that our new possessions,
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii anG the Philip
pi mes, all grow coffee of a fine quality; that
of the Philippines equalling Java and
even comparing favorably with Arabia's
world famed Mocha.

FINE COTTAGES AT NORTH SHORE. The at
Effectiveness Of the North Shore has lately
bee enhanced by the erection of large and
handsome cottage by Messrs. s. S. Brown
and A. W. Flood of Waterville and E. O..
Howard Of Boston They have bought lot
containing one and half acres, with the
highway on one side and driveways on the
other three, and right of way to and all
the usual privileges of the shore. The cot
tage IS 80 feet square, two stories high, with
hip roof and cupola. A piazza II feet wide
extends across the side facing the bay and
one 4 feet wide across that facing the road.
The front room is 1880 feet and faces the
bay. The rear of the house is occupied by
the cook room and dining room and their
appliances. The stairs from both front and
rear are ample, yet so arranged as to take
but little space from the rooms. A fireplace
of rough rock laid in colored cement is built
in the southern corner OF the front room.
There are six rooms, practically 10x15, on
the second floor, while the attic is roomy
and affords ample space for storage, etc.
The floors are of hard wood, the rooms
sheathed with North Carolina pine and the
doors are of Oregon cedar The windows
are 4-light 1892 glass The view from this
cottage is one of the best to be had any
where in this section. From the piazza the
whole upper part of the Bay can be seen,
with Belfast and Searsport harbors, Sears
Island, the mouth of the Penobscot river
with its constantly changing panorama OF
passing vessels, steamers, yachts and barges,
and the mountains of Frankfort and Blue
Hill in the distance. From the cupola the
view is enlarged towards the southeast, and
takes in the islands OF the lower bay and, on
fair day, the Mount Desert hills. The cot
tage will be occupied by the families of the
owners and will be ready for occupancy
very soon. Mr.. A. G. Bowie of Watervlle
is the contractor and he is to begin soon on
another large cottage near by for the Messrs.
Roberts.
