WARDS OF THE STATE.

Annual Increase of Population In
the Institutions.
st. Paul, Feb. 4.-Monthly statistics
Of the state institutions reported to the
board of corrections and charities
never before compiled so promptly
show an increase in the insane hospi-
tails of 1O5 above last year, and in the
penal and other institutions Of IFS.
For a long time the parole system re-
suited in a reduction Of the inmates in
the correctional institutions, which has
nov been overcome by the fact that
the system has got into thorough ope-
ration. Taking into account the num-
her Of United States prisoners at Still
water, the real increase of the states
wards for this year is 228, where last
year it was 237. The net increase is
between 3 and 4 per cent, which is
still less than the presumed Increase
in population.

Prior to 1912 the worlds produc-
ton of beet sugar had never reached
1000, 900 tons; in the present year it
is, according to latest estimates, $780,
600 tons, while the cane sugar crop,
which in 1912 was 1889, 900 tons, is in
the present year 1904, 900 tons. Thus
cane-sugar production has scarcely
doubled during the period under con-
sideration, while that from beets has
more than quintupled. Meantime the
price has fallen nor than one-half,
the average cost in foreign countries Of
all sugar imported into the United
States in the fiscal year 1872 being 2.37
cents per pound, and in 1899 2.39 cents
per pound. No instance of the worlds
production of foodstuffs has been more
rapid or striking than that with refer
ence to beet sugar. In 1s54-5 the total
%beet-sugar crop of the world was but
182, 900 tons; in 18S4-5 it was 2,545, 900
tons; in 1S94-5, 4,792,7 1893 tons, and in
1S99-19OO, 100000 tons. In 1854-5
beet sugar formed 13 per cent Of the
worlds total sugar crop, and in 1899
1900 it formed 66 per cent. Thus the
sugar-producing area Of the world has
in less than a h~alf-century been shifted
from the tropics northward, and the
farmer Of the temperate zone, through
the aid Of science in the remarkable
Improvement Of a plant, has success
fully competed with the low-priced
labor Of the tropics and has also re-
duced by one-half the cost of the ar
ticle produced.

Hi. Arraignment Of Secretary
Cage House Dcvotes It's Atten-
ton to the Indian Appropriations
Bill.

Washington, Feb. s. An effort by
Senator Pettigrew to discuss the Phil
ippine question in the senate yesterday
was of no avail, as he was met by o
point of order which took him from
the floor. He had gotten only so far
as to charge that the great journals Of
the country would not publish the
facts concerning the Philippine war.
Subsequently he offered another reso-
luton on which he will speak next
week. Senator Allen Of Nebraska con-
cluded his speech in arraignment OF
Secretary Gage because of his trans
actions with the National City Bank OF
New York. He had previously intro
duced a resolution providing for an in
vestigation by the senate of the treas
ury department, but objection to its
consideration sent it W. until next
week.
The House.
The house yesterday devoted its at
tention to the Indian appropriation
bill. It got no further, however, than
the appropriations for Indian schools,
where an effort was inaugurated by
Mr., Fitzgerald of New York to author
ize the secretary of the interior to con-
tract with schools for the education of
Indian children where Tie government
lacked facilities. No provision is made
for contract schools In this bill. 1t IS
claimed the present school system is
inadequate.

The League OF American Sports
men, a organization gotten up for
the purpose of protecting game
throughout the United States, has
written to the governor asking his
cooperation in the fight the league
IL making against the wanton de-
struction OF the antelope and other
game in the west. Particular stress
il laid upon the manner In which the
antelope is being killed off, and his
excellency has been requested to cause
a bill to be introduced Mt the next
session OF the legislature making a
closed season Of ten years for ante
lope. The letter recites the fact that
within the past three years the ante
lope I'm the western states have de
creased 80 per cent and In many
places where only u few years ago
they reamed in herds OF thousands
not a single animal remains. We be-
lieve such a bill should be offered and
that IL should become n law. Pos
sibly at the end OF ten years these
game animals would become SO nu-
merous that IL would be impossible
to e~xtermlnate them, something
which now seems likely 20 happen.
