DANGER FROM AMERICA.
German Sugar Reiners Fear Competi-
ton from United States.

Berlin, January 30.-During the discuss
ion of the sugar question in the lower
house of the diet today, Baron ETA, refer
ring to the opinion of the secretary of the
imperial treasury, Baron Won Trielmann,
that there is no danger to the German
future, said that the manufacturers of
Saxony took quite a different view from
those who pooh-poohed the danger and
moderated the colossal financial resources
and enterprise of "the American sugar
trust" which in California particularly
was making great Roadway. The only
thing to help German manufacturers was
to tighten the excise duty on sugar and
thus promote home consumption.
Baron Won Hammerstein-Loxley, the
minister of agriculture, in reply, said he
fully agreed with the statement that the
most serious danger existed from Amer
lea. Moreover, he remarked, the export of
sugar from Cuba would greatly increase
during the next few years; that ener-
getic and intelligent American capitalists
had taken the matter in hand. The dam
ger arising from the production of beet
sugar in America, he said, was contin-
ually increasing, and it was true that
the export of German sugar to America
was 2400, 900 dopel eentner double hundred
WelghD below the export of Great Brit
tain. 1t had been found that the use of
sugar in the army increased the marching
capabilities of the soldiers. 1t was also
excellent in fattening pigs.

BUFFERS IDEAS.
Say iuch Bad Feeling Exists Between
Cutlea,rs and Spani&ds.

" ashington, January 30.-GenerN NJ C.
~ Ter, late Cuban evacuation commission
or in speaking of the situation ir Cuba
Today, said that there was much bad feel
ang- between the Spanish soldiers and the
Cubans.
Brooks order prohibiting participation in
the evacuation ceremonies by the Cubans
was a necessary precaution and that if it
had not have been issued there would have
been trouble The Spanish residents were
nervous At the same time he thought the
Cubans should have been treated literally
and allowed to participate to a consider
able extent in the conduct of affairs
He believed that the Cuban soldiers could
be utilized and that if there were an or
ganized force of such soldiers under Amer
lean command they could be utilized in
maintaining order even among the Cubans.
H dwelt at some length upon the excess
sive taxes imposed under tho old system.
AS an Illustration he mentioned that an
importer of 100 cattle from Mexico had to
pay an average of S27 per head on them
in the way of taxes and duties. General
Butler expressed the opinion that in time
the Cuban people would be capable of self
overnment, that they should be given
an opportunity to quiet down and get used
to more liberal administration than they
had ever known.

THB DIsPENsARY ISSUE


Among the counties exempted under the
dispensary bill appears the name of Lauder
dale This is most surprising, but there is
Just one thing to be said about tiff Laud-
erdale prefers the open saloons to the
wishes of her good women, and If, futher-
more, she prefers such notorious places of
temptation and of evil to the State Normal
school now located within her borders.
there is just one of two things the state
ought to do-she ought to abolish the school
or to remove 1t to some other site, where
the pupils will be free from any contact
with such demoralizing institutions There
is already talk of petitioning the legisla-
ture to allow its removal. There are several
ant-saloon localities in the state that are
ready to make bids for It.
From the Selma Times.
The dispensary question is in politics in
Alabama and 1t is here to stay am
rather inclined to be against the bill for
various reasons, but If as many as a half
dozen counties in Alabama get dispensaries
and they are run with profit to the state
and without friction. other counties will be
added each year until finally the entire
state will be practically under the workings
of the dispensary system. The members Of
the legislature two years from now will be
elected on the dispensary ISSUE It will not
down. Dealers In the ardent might as we'll
make up their minds that this Is live issue
and that it as come to stay.

his with an address on the matter at
The meeting Of the Union Baptist
church. on Nineteenth street, South
side. Tuesday evening.
The first idea Of Rev. Calhoun was
mat the public schools monopollEed so
much of the time Of the pupils, both in
and out Of school, that they have no
time for the study OF the Bible. He
yIter enlarged on this idea, and said
mat the pupils have no time for exer-

mai the course of study Is at fault, and
,'ot the teachers. He GLAZING that there
are so many lessons and that they are
of such length that the pupil Is COM

lessons for next day, andithat u any
