THE PACIFIC CABLE
Slowly But Surely Approaching the
Construction Stage

WASHINGTON. March 12-Representa-
tive Corliss of Michigan today completed
the minority report of the house committee
on interstate and foreign commerce against
the bill reported by that committee for the
establishment of Pacific cable.
The original bill provided for the SUBJ
sidy of the Pacific Gable company at the
rate of 100000 for twenty years, and pro-
vides for the completion of the cable to
Honolulu by 1900 and to Japan and China
by 1901. The substitute offered by Mr.. Cor
liss and Mr.. Fletcher of Minnesota also
provides for subsidy of not exceeding
100000, but it eliminates the name of the
corporation and has a. provision for adj
vertisement by the postmaster general and
the cooperation of the government of ia
pan-
The report endorses the proposition for
cable but objects to the bill of the ma .
jority because 1t grants an exclusive mo-
nopoly and a subsidy of So, 900 900 and holds
that all franchises should be open to COM
petition; also that an American corpora
tion is ready to enter into contract to
construct the cable.

About Sugar Beet Contracts.

Land Commissioner French, who is
charged with the enforcement Of the
beet sugar law passed by the legisla-
ture of 1897, finds that contracts which
parties are making with the farmers of
Monroe and Oakland and adjoining
counties, for the growing of sugar
beets, are not according to that law,
which offers bounty of one cent a
pound upon all sugar manufactured
in Michigan from beets grown in the
state. That law provides that "the
manufacturer shall produce good and
sufficient receipts and vouchers to
show that at least 81 per ton of 1000
pounds has actually been paid for all
beets purchased, containing IL per cent
of sugar" and "a sum proportionate to
that amount for all beets containing n
greater or less per cent of sugar" The
law makes no discrimination as to the
co-etficient purity of beets. The same
price is paid for beets with a co-cfli
cient Of purity Of 70 as for those of a
purity of IS, should the per cent of sugar
be the same but prices set forth in the
contract spoken of are on basis of
coefficient purity and are much less
than the price required by law, and
the state will not pay any bounty
upon sugar manufactured from beets
secured under such a contract and paid
for accordingly. This contract also
provides that farmers must accept the
tests of the factory expert as final, but
the law says that the state land COM
missioner shall appoint suitable weigh
men and inspectors and assistants.

In the Grip OF King Storm.

What was undoubtedly the worst
snow storm Michigan has experienced
in several years swept over the south
eastern portion of the state on its way
west from New York, Ohio and through
Canada. Probably the greatest dam
age was caused by the destruction of
telegraph and telephone connections
and the delay of trains, many of the
latter becoming stalled. At Detroit
street railway business was paralyzed
and over 5000 telephones rendered
useless. Telegraphic communication
was cut off from the entire outside

DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN NEWS
Enormous Increase In Our Exports and
Large Decrease I'm Our Imports
Balance OF Trade With All Countries
Greatly In Our Favor.

The report of Secretary of the Treas.
ury Gage shows that our foreign COM
merce of the fiscal year 1898 in many
respects have been phenomenal. The
expectations of the products of both
field and factory exceeded in value those
of any preceding year, and the grand
total of exports was the largest even
recorded-averaging more than $780,.
100000 per month, the total being
1921, ,4s2, $50, against 81 1,05o, 993, $50 in
1897 and $1,03O,27S, ,14s in 1892. The
value of agricultural products exported
was $3.50 683, $50, surprising by $54,-
355, 1898 the highest record, that of 1892.
Our manufacturers also made THEN
highest record, $500, ,697, ,354, against
$277, 2s5, ,30l in the preceding year. For
the first time also in the history of our
foreign commerce, the exports of do
mestic manufactures were greater than
the imports of foreign manufactures,
while the total exports of the year
were twice as great as the total i'm
ports--a condition heretofore un-
known. Nearly all branches of the
great manufacturing industries shared
in this increase, particularly manu-.
features of iron and steel, leather,
boots and shoes, and mineral oils.
Nearly all classes of the great agricul.
tural products made their highest re-
cord of exports in the past year. The
prices realized on nearly all important
articles of export were higher than in
the proceeding year.
"In importations, the year has
shown an equally remarkable record,
the value of foreign imports being less
than in any previous year, with a sim
gle exception, 1880, though the popula-
tion has increased so per cent since
that time The total imports were but
S616, 049, 654 in value, against $764,7 $780,.
412 in the preceding year, and $779,-
724, ,674 year earlier The falling off
was almost entirely in manufactures
and articles of food. The importation
of wool manufactures was S14, ,S23,77
against $40, 162, ,992 in the preceding
year; of cotton goods, $27, ,267, 800,
against S34 ,429, 363 in 1897; of manufac-
lures of iron and steel, 2,626, ,431,
against $16,094, ,557 in the preceding
year; of earthenware and china So
6s7, $50, against 80, ,977, ,297 a year earlier;
of glass and glassware, S3,7s2, ,617,
against SIS, ,6O3, s6S in 1897; and of tin
plate, S3,s09, las, against S5,344, ,63S in
the preceding year.
This satisfactory condition of our
foreign trade extended to our COM
merce with practically every nation.
Our sales TO Europe alone increased
s16o, ,42O, sol, while our purchases from
that section of the globe decreased
S124, 95s, 514; and to all the great divis.
ions, except Oceanica, there was an in
creased sale, and from all, except Asia
and Oceanica, decreased imports. Our
exports to Asia show n gratifying gain,
those of 1898 having been S44, 707, ,791,
against SIS, $50, ,O99 in 1896 and S11 ,e45,-
7O3 in 1880, thus having quadrupled
since 1880, and nearly doubled within
two years.

oleomargerine Law Knocked Out.


In an unanimous opinion written by
Justice Hooker, the supreme court holds
the oleomargerine law to be invalid.
The merits of the law are not discussed
in the opinion, the court simply holding
that the law is defective inasmuch as
the legislative journals show that 1t
was without an enacting clause when
II passed the senate, and that the house
failed TO remedy this defect. This
clause was inserted previous to the
signing Of the bill by the governor,
and the encouragement urged that
this was sufficient compliance with
the constitution. This contention is
denied by the court, on the ground
that the constitutional provision is not
merely directory, no part of the legis-
lative power being vested in the gov
ernor. The court says: "It will
be much better that the legis-
lature shall correct its mistake than
that the courts shall sanction the ir-
regular correction in this case"
The courts reference to the legisla-
ture correcting its mistake is taken as
an indication that 1t believes the law
Is otherwise constitutional.
