a SUGAR TRADE PRoBLEM.
4 New Method of Packing the Java
Product Needed.

Sidney B. Everett. United States Consul
at Batavia. has sent to the State Depart
ment the following report concerning the
packing OF sugar in Java.
Il wish to call attention to the fact that
a new problem. and so far an unsolved one.
is appearing in connection with the sugar
trade OF this colony Il is Of s-eciaI inter
est 10 Americans. IS in the last two sea
sons at least seven-tenths OF the sugar
crop OF Java went 70 the United States. II
is the question OF packing sugar.
al present. sugar is packed in cases
made Of matted bambood straw. and it
has been found TO be the ideal packing. far
Superior to the grass mats used for Phil
iPpine sugar. Unfortunately. owing to i'm
prOEident methods and neglect Of govern
ment supervision the bamboo is showing
signs OF giving out. and experts predict
that the time is not f%- Sistant when it
VIII be so scarce as to become too eEpeu-
sive to use in packing sugar. in view Of
the present small margin in the profits CT
sugar planting.
In some districts. there have been gov
ernment officials who had foresight euOu.,b
10 compel the natives to plant a new tree
as soon as the old one was cut down. but
unfortunately such cases were few and far
between. with the result that many dis
tricts Of Java are now almost entirely de-
nuded Of bamboo.
Consequently the planters are casting
round for material 20 take the place OF
bamboo mating So far nothing has beeD
found that will answer. Jutc is insult
able.
A gentleman here who is largely inter
ested in sugar plantations. with whom I
was talking the other day told me that anv-
enc who could invent some thing satfsfacto-
~ would make a fortune in Java alone. as
his method would be at once used by every
planter Inasmuch as the sugar exports
for last year we're 6Ss5 $40 metric tons it
can readily be seen that it. may be worth
some ones while to try.
Let an inventor acquainted with sugar
and its properties set his brains to work to
see II he cannot evolve something that will
meet the situation l have described. Let
him. however. bear in mind that what
might be suitable packing for Cuban su-
gar would not necessarily do for Java. as
this sugar has a much longer sea voyage
TO undergo. and must be much more care

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Web. Davis In Afriea.-It can be
stated beyond peradventure that the claim
being made by the sensational section CT
the New York press that Assistant Sec.e-
tary Of the Interior Webster Davis is in
South Africa at the instance OF President
Mckinley is utterly without foundation.
This assertion is based on an intimate
knowledge OF the causes that ccnspred 10
get Mr. Davis out OF Washington at the
dent gave him an indefinite leave of alb
sence. but Mr. Mckinley did not even
know TO what part of the globe the As
slstant Secretary was going when be
granted the leave. The plain truth is
that MIR. Davis relations in the Interior
Department bad became so irksome that in
justice to his self-respect he had either
to resign OF 20 away fer long trip. His
close friends do not expect him to return
tc America until the Presidential cam
paign Is under full swing and then he will
take the stump and be in Washington as
little as possible. Hence, Mr. Davis visit
TO South Africa is not even remotely con-
nected with whatever purposes the Admin
istration may have In the British BOer
war.
double reason is assigned for Mr.. Da-
Wis announced determination to visil the
Boer country and capital. The first is for
the collection OF data on which to base a
series Of lectures out Of which he hopes
to make some money when he leaves Office
next autumn. aud the second is to join his
friend. Eugene EastOn. the only American
newspaper correspondent within the BOer
lines.
