with him on Few Points.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-Henry
I. Oxnard, president of the American
Beet Sugar Producers association, has
prepared reply to H. o. Havemeyer's
recent argument before the industrial
commission at Washington. He fat
ly denies many of Mr.. Havemeyer's
statements and accuses that gentleman
OF seeking to destroy the American
beet sugar industry in order to foster
the refineries that handle foreign raw
material, besides attempting to divert
public attention from the Sugar trust
by attacking the tariff.
In conclusion Mr.. Oxnard says: 81
will not dispute Mr.. Havemeyer's
claim that 10 per cent is sufficient pro-
lection to the sugar refining interests
which he represents, but l do assert
that he cannot make the American
people believe that the industries of
this country and business prospered
during the years we were struggling
under the Wilson law when the aver
age protection amounted to 40 per
cent ad valorem. If Mr.. Havemeyer
had said that keen and losing compe-
tition in business led to the forma-
ton of trusts he would be right, for
the tariff has nothing to do with the
formation of trusts"

colonial features of the exposition and
but serve to foreshadow the wonderful
results which have been achieved in
securing representative exhibit from
our colonial possessions.
The people of Hawaii are proud of
the fact that they are part of this
great nation, and have made extensive
preparations for an exhibit of their
products and resources. There will also
be a village of the native people, the
former owners and rulers of these rich
islands, in which native life and GUS
toms will be accurately reproduced.
Cuba and Porto Rico will likewise be
fully represented, and the life, habits
and manners of the people faithfully
portrayed.
The Giant See-Saw and the Shoot
the-Chutes will be features of the
Greater America Exposition Midway
at Omaha this summer, with novel
improvements over the same features
of last year.
There will be Chinese Village on

that VIII Command the Admiration of

In days gone by the road from en-
pire to republic has been long and
marked by desperate struggles. In our
own time we have seen a republic be-
come an empire almost in a day; a
free republic annexed, kingdom
wrested from an old world tyrant and
added to the possessions of a younger
nation. The thunder of Dewey's guns
announced the opening of new and
strange chapter in American history,
chapter of grand achievements and
mighty potent. The destinies of peo-
pie may be at stake, the fate of a ma
ton may hang in the balance as the
result of the stirring events crowded
into the brief space of single year.
1t has been said that ''the dreams
which nations dream come true" and
those who would give form and force
to such dreams must needs under
stand not only the possibilities of sue

President Decides to Supplement Regu-

CHICAGO, June pa special from
Washington to the Tribune saws:
President Mckinley has decided to call
FOR volunteers for service in the Phil
lpplnes. 1t has been determined to
form at least nine regiments and DOS
slbly twelve. For the present the pres
ldent deems nine regiments enough
and 1t is understood this belief is based
on representations made by General
Otis, who Is said to have recently es-
timated the force he will need in the
islands.
There are now $4,000 regulars in the
Philippines and there will shortly be
u reinforcement of at least 7 900. This
furnishes General Otis with the army
he desired in the earlier estimates
from Manila. Lately. however. he has
mad occasion to revise these figures
and under the influences of the more
liberal estimates Of General Lawton
and other advisers he had informed the
Washington officials that the presence
OF 1900 or $4,000 volunteers to sup
plement the force of regulars will I've

Actual enlistment for the new VOL
unteer regiments will be under the
army officers and the requirements will
be similar to those which attended tho
recruiting of volunteers at the out
break of the late war. 1t is probable
the company strength will be maxi
mum and this would give for nine reg
iments volunteer force of at least
$4,000.
The call for troops will be issued as
soon as the necessary ARRANGEMENTS for
recruiting system can be made.

The transport Centennial, which has

way to this port. 1t struck rock on

surrounded by swarms of natives in
canoes, who became menacing. Cap
tain Eagle, who commanded the trans
port, was compelled to throw over
board 100 tons of supplies in order to
tighten the ship sufficiently to get it

Filipinos had towed the cases ashore
and were fighting over the spoils. The

at the same point, but the natives
feared to approach it.

When questioned they admitted that

ana with the famous prisoner on board,
but in the same breath expressed the
bellef that 1t would not arrive in the
daytime. They think the warship will
be kept outside the harbor until night
and that then Dreyfus will be landed
inside the arsenal. This is the general
opinion of the townspeople, who are
eager to witness the landing.
The military and civil authorities
profess to know nothing about the
matter, not even if the Sfax is coming
to Brest.
A representative of the Associated
Press called at the maritime prefecture
this aftrnoon and had a conversation
with the port admiral Barrera, who
was typical of French politeness, but
who displayed most praiseworthy ig-
norance. He said:
up to now I have received abso-
lutely no instructions. l am awaiting
orders from the new minister of ma
rine. l cannot even say Dreyfus will
be landed here. In any case, he can
not arrive yet" and, taking a map.
he traced the course Of the Sfax from
the Cape Verde islands, which it left
Tuesday, adding:
You see it cannot have passed the
Canary islands before yesterday. 1t
will not arrive here at the earliest
until Sunday, or perhaps Monday"
The perfect of police also told the
Associated Press representative that
he had not received any instructions
regarding Dreyfus. The French first
class cruiser Tage, now lying in the
Larbor, has been instructed to put to
sea on Sunday evening, and it is
thought it has been ordered to meet
the Sfax and have Dreyfus transferred
to it. But Admiral Barrera says the

pigeons. No doubt big crowd wi
