COMMISSION
INQUIRIES INTO SUGAR MARKET
CONDITIONS.
Free Cuban Sugar Would Wipe Out
American Raw Sugar, Both Beet and
Cane in Five Years"

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The In
dustrial Commission began its session
today by the examination of James
ii. Post of Brooklyn, representative
of the Mollenhauer Sugar Company
and the National Sugar Company of
New York. Mr.. Post, referring to a
list of sugar prices. covering the past
nine years. showed that the margin
between raw and refined sugar had
huctuated with the revision of the
tariff and the entrance of competing
companies in the field. The standard
price of refined sugar, he said, was
fixed daily by the American Sugar
Refining Company, and, as a rule,
these prices were followed by the in
dependent refneries.
Mr.. Post said that as Il general pro-
position he thought the American Su-
gar Refining Company had influenced
conditions for the good of the coun-
try.
do you think" asked Mr.. Ratch-
ford. that it would be Il good thing
for he American Company to be in
entire control OF the field?"
80. said Mr.. Post. II think the
entire control of an article of universal
consumption in the hands of any one
set of men would be a very dangerous
power
"That is what the trust aims at"
said Mr.. Ratchford. according to Mr..
Iavemeyer's own statement"
"The business might get into hands
of men not so broadminded as Mr..
HaNemeyer," said the witness.
Post denied that either the National
pr hn l,a
connected with the American Refining
Company. At the present price of
raw sugar the margin between the
raw and refined sugar was 63 cents per
100 pounds before the refiner began
to realize a profit. Mr.. Post said that
in past years his refineries have used
Cuban cane sugar almost altogether,
but since the great reduction in the
Cuban output they had been forced to
rely largely on European beet sugar,
principally German and Austrian. The
European refined sugar was cheaper
to produce than the American, but not
of so good a quality Of imported raw
sugar, the American refiners had got
ten large quantities from the Philip
pines.
Regarding the effect of the sugar
lIuSu Oll lht pllNt vi III" bliS
witness said he thought the presence
of one great buyer in the field had
tended to keep down the prices, but he
did not think the trust could keep
down the price more than one-siX-
teenth of cent pound and that for
only portion of each season. On
inquiry as to the affidavit plan of sell
ing to wholesale grocers, witness said
Al 4 ,Al
In many places grocers were cutting
the price of sugar and selling at a
loss. Mr. Post said he was sorry for
the grocers. but it was a matter of lit
tie interest to the refner. The re-
finers anowed the grocers a profit of
three-siNteenths of a cent a pound,
which was as little as they could afford
to handle it for. Free sugar from
Cuba. witness said, would wipe out
American raw sugar, both beet and
cane. in five years.

PASSPORTS.

Under what circumstances does one
use passport when travelling abroad? g?
This Is the usual query OF those who
have never left the hospI:able shore
Of the United States The simplest re
ply is that the passport Is used when
one is in difficulties. In some Euro
pean countries you cannot get a yegis-
tered letter which is addressed to you
unless you show your passport
As rule the special entries to mu-
seums. libraries and picture galleries
for the purpose OF study are permitted
only to those with passports and some
times because OF a special consular
letter obtained on the strength OF the
passport
In case OF death In a foreign hotel
the passport Is invaluable to those at
1ending and saves expense and delay
TO the survivors. In Russia passports
are absolutely necessary and certi-
fcate that they have been examined
is Just as imperative. Without both
you cannot cross the frontier. These
precautions strike US as unnecessary.
but If We lived in European country
we would see the wisdom of II all
Army conscriptions make 1t necessary
that a man should carry papers. A

carry with him his papers stating his

now after the lapse Of more than
quarter of a century, carefully noting
the effect of the extremes we have
passed, l am still Of that opinion,
says A. G. futile in wisconsin Hor-
ticulturist." Every cold winter when
we have had many days in succession
of very extreme cold, and when on
some of these days the mercury did not
rise above twenty below zero at mid
day, I have always found injury soon
to follow. In every case the extreme
cold winters have been those most de-
structive. If we place a foliage plant
in the open air with the thermometer
at zero, it is soon killed and we do
not hesitate to say it froze to death.
The Baldwin, Greening or Spitzenberg
apple kills in a dry atmosphere with
about the same degree of cold that de-
stroys the peach. That our trees freeze
to death l have not the least doubt,
but why one kills and another does
not, is something l don't understand
and probably never shall.
Prof. Budd claims that trees freeze
to death by the expansion Of the sap
cells caused by severe freezing. This
is an old theory and one could never
accept. That portion of the tree con-
tanning the SAP vessels is as easily
frozen as a potato, and l can see no
reason why the sap should not be as
thoroughly frozen and expanded with
the thermometer at zero as at thirty
or forty below, and yet with the mer-
curry at zero we suffer no injury. 1t
explain why one variety kills and an
other does not; the fact is all that is
necessary for us to know until we are
able to go back in creation to the great
first cause and explain the phenomena
of it's existence We shall find many
mysteries in nature we cannot solve.
Science can only reveal to us few
faint glimmerings of that effulgent
light that shines beyond the reach OF
human vision. Only in another state
of existence, if ever, shall we be able
to comprehend the wonderful myster-
les that nature withholds from us here.
Let us accept the facts as they pre-
theory and spend all our energies to
make facts conform to it. l made
thorough examination of my shrubs
and vines the first day they were thaw-
ed after the severe cold; the injury was
as apparent then as it was month
afterwards. The evidence was as con-
elusive tc me that they had frozen 10
death as it would have been had
found a person who mad persisted IN
a Dakota blizzard l would as soon
have entertained the idea that the per-
son died of sunstroke or fever as that
thawing killed the trees. Vines,
shrubs and small fruits can be pro-
tected, but our ochard fruits should be
sufficiently hardy to withstand any
amount Of cold we may be liable TO
have.

A BABY PASSENGER.
oy Bran Stoker.

~ BRAN SIOKor.
One night we were journeying in the
west of the Rockies over a road bed
which threatened to jerk out our teeth
with every loosely-laid sleeper on the
line.
Travelling in that part of the world,
certainly in the days l speak of, was
pretty hard. The travellers were most
ly men. all overworked, ali overanx-
ious, and intolerant of anything which
hindeTed their work or interfered with
the measure of their repose. IN night
journeys the berths of the sleeping
cars were made up early, and as all the
night trains were sleeping cars, the
only thing to be done was to turn in
at once and try and sleep away the
time. AS most of the men were Aual-
ly tired out with the days work, the
arrangement suited everybody. You
can understand that on such journeys
women and children were disturbing
elements. Fortunately they were, as
night travellers, rare, and the women.
with that consideration for the needs
OF their men folk which l have always
noticed in American female workers.
used to devote themselves to keeping
the little ones quiet.
The weather was harsh, and sneez-
ing and coughing was the order OF the
day. This made the people in the
sleeper, all men, irritable; all the more
that as most of them were contribute
ing to the general chorus Of sounds
coming muffied through quilts and cur
tains, it was impossible to single out
Grafton. After awhile, however, the
change of posture from standing or
sitting to lying down began to have
some kind of soothing effect, and new
sounds of occasional snoring began to
vary the monotony of irritation. Pres
emily the train stopped at a way sta
ton; then ensued a prolonged spell of
shunting backward and forward with
the uncertainty of jerkiness which is
so peculiarly disturbing to imperfect
sleep; and then two newcomers enter
ed the sleeper, man and a baby. The
baby was young, quite young enough to
be defiantly ignorant and intolerant Of
all rules and regulations regarding the
common good. 1t played for it's own
hand alone, and as it was extremely
angry and gifted with exceptionally
powerful lungs, the fact of its presence
and its emotional condition, even
though the latter afforded mystery as
to its cause, were Immediately appar-
ent. The snoring ceased, and it's place
was taken by muttered grunts and
