Affairs in SamOa.

The following statement is made by the
official German authorities here:
A press telegram of the 18th instant
from Apia. via Auckland reports that the
German consul in Apia has solemnly pro-
CLAIMED the pending annexation of Upolu
ana SaVall by Germany to a number of
Samoan chiefs on board the German man.
of-war, and that on the same day he
hoisted the German flag on the supreme
court
This report does not cover the reports
received in Berlin from the German consul
at Apia, and, according to the instructions
which he has received from Berlin, it
seems to be absolutely untrue.
The German consul has likewise wired
on the 18th instant, but he simply states
that certain Tanu chiefs have refused to
pay the head tax, imposed by the three
consuls, hence they had been ordered to
leave the district by the thirteen chiefs.
The three consuls have instructed the thir-
teen chiefs to send the aggressors to Apia
for trial. This has been agreed upon

WORLDS SUGAR PRODUCT.
Amount Raised and Average Price
From 1872

Two-thirds of the worlds sugar is now
produced from beets. Prior TO lS1t-2 the
worlds production Of beet sugar had never
reached i00o,oo0 tons: in the present crop
year 1t is, according to latest estimates.
o,oh,eoo tons. while the cane sugar crop.
which in 1SI1-2 was l. $50 900 tons is in the
present year 2,9e4 900 tons. Thus cane su-
gar production has scarcely doubled dur
Ing the period under consideration, while
that from beets has more than quintupled.
Meantime the price has fallen more than
one-half, the average cost in foreign coun-
tries of all sugar imported into the United
States in the fiscal year 1872 being 537
cents per pound, and in 1889 2.39 cents per
pound.
These facts are shown by tabulation
prepared by the treasury bureau of statis-
tics in response to the demands for infor-
nation regarding sugar production which
have followed the meeting of Congress and
the prospective consideration of matters re-
lating to the sugar-producing islands which
have recently come into closer relations
with the United States.
No development of the worlds produC-
ton of food stuffs has been more rapid or
striking than that with reference to beet
sugar. In 1S51-5 the total beet sugar crop
Of the world was but fS2,ooo tons: by fS6A-a
ii had reached SECOND tons; in 1919 ii was
1.219,t1 tons: in 1SS4-J 2J45,0oo tons: in
1870. 4.192, 1913 tons. and in 1890 lDOo.
5.31o,0;0 tons In 1S54-5 beet sugar formed
II per cent of the worlds total sugar crop
and in 1S99-19oo it formed G6 per cent.
Thus the sugar-producing area of the
world has in less than half century been
shifted from the tropics nor;hward, and
the farmer Of the temperate zone has shown
his ability not only TO compete with the
low-priced labor of the tropics, hut in doing
SO to reduce by one-half the cost of the
article produced.
The following table shows the world :
production of beet and cane sugar. respect
lively and the grand total in each year
from 1872 10 1899; also the average price OF
sugar in foreign markets, the figures Of
cane sugar production being those Of VIII
lett & Gray of New York, beet sugar those
Of LIGHT Of Europe and those relating to
price being obtained from statements sup

RECEIVER APPOINTED.
Action Taken Regarding the Globe
National Bank of Boston.

Controller Dawes last night appointed
Special Examiner Daniel G. Wing tempo
rary receiver of the Globe National Bank
of Boston, Mass. In connection with his
action the controller said:
Some time ago Mr.. Wing, who is one of
the experts employed in the system of spe-
cial bank examinations recently inaug-
urated. discovered a serious condition of
affairs in the Globe National Bank which
he Immediately brought to the attention of
the controller, and under his direction to
the directors of the bank. The directors
very laudab bly, agreed and undertook to
make good the doubtful and bad assets
found. and have greatly improved the CON
dition of the bank since that time They
also delivered to the controller a written
guaranty that they would remove the
doubtful assets. Recent failures in Boston
have lesSened the value of the rnperfornef1
portion of the guaranty and involved the
solvency of the bank.
In view of the fact that to allow the
bank to remain open longer will result in
injustice to unsecured creditors, now that
the condition of insolvency is found to exist,
II becomes my duty, under the law, to APP
point a receiver. A considerable cash div
ldend can be paid to creditors at once
The condition of the bank was discov-
cred by Special Examiner Wing in time to
secure such action on the part of the direc-
tors as will probably prevent the failure
from infiicting heavy losses upon the de-
positors. but the directors and stockholders
will lose heavily"
The bank, it is understood was involved
in the Squire failure and in mining stocks
The following is condensed statement of
the condition of the bank, as reported to
the controller December 2, 1899:

this colony have taken into cousitiera-

The Great Presidential Campaign
of 1900.

The policies of the great political
parties are now being formed and tn
candidates discussed. The voice of the
people as recorded by ballot at the APP
preaching Presidential election will prob
ably decide the policy of the nation for
the next decade. Every citizen must
study the great questions that are to
come before the people. This can only
be done through the medium OF a great
newspaper. Now is the time, therefore,
for every voter to subscribe for the best
and most reliable newspaper obtainable.
The Semi-Weekly Republic covers the
whole field of political news. While it is
Democratic, it publishes the news in re-
gard to all political parties without
prejudice. Its telegraphic and cable
news service is superior to that of any
other paper. its special features are the
best. In fact, it is the paper for that
large class of readers who cannot afford
or do not have access to the daily papers
Attention is also called to the Repub-
lies Sunday Magazine. It's haif-tone
illustrations are alone worth the sub
scription price. 1t is made up OF special
articles by the best literary talent, en-
bracing a variety of subjects of current
interest. News features of absorbing in
terest are illustrated and enlarged upon.
For the benefit OF the ladies the latest
fashions are handsomely illustrated.
The Republic Sunday Magazine is al
ways interesting to every member of the
family.
The subscription price of the Semi
Weekly Republic is 81 co per year. The
Republic Sunday Magazine $1.25 per
year. Roth papers are now being
offered at the very low price of 81. 90 for
one year. To secure this low rate both
must be ordered and paid forat the same
time. Address all orders to The Repub-
lie, st. Louis, Mo.
