AGREEMENT REACHED.
France. Germany and Austria WIN
Abandon Export Bounty on sugar

NEW YORK. Dec. S,-The news that
France, Germany and Austria have
reached a tentative agreement for ahan-
doning the export bounty on sugar Is
attracting quite little attention at
the moment In local sugar circles. and
somewhat diverse theories are current
regarding the effect OF such a change
II made In renners' supplies here,
There seems general agreement, that
a very important effect would be the Inn
mediate and large increase In the ex.
ports OF American preserved fruits and
jellies at the expense OF the business
OF the great English and Scotch pre-
serves. The effect OF the removal OF
the bounties would also, Il is argued,
be to increase the competition and re-
strict production OF sugars in the con-
,inental countries OF production and
thus remove that OF all competition
OF other sugars arriving here. Beet
sugar growing is carried on on such
a close margin that 1t is not profitable
unless the growers get bounty, This
decreases competition, This In turn
win encourage the production OF cane
sugars and win thus benefit directly
Cuba and Porto Rico
Il believe" said one OF the closest
students Of the raw sugar supply. that
with the development Of Cuba under
the trade relations which viii probably
be sought by that island with this
country Cuba will in few years be
producing sufficient cane sugar TO COM
pletely shut out the beet sugars OF Eu-
rope. cuba's last crop win amount TO
100000 tons. This crop win run about
100000 tons and the next crop win
probably be 10000 to 100000 tons.

HAzEp AND DYING.
Another Sensation at the Military
Academy at West Point.

NEW YORK, Dec. "A special to
the Herald from West Point says;
Authorities OF the United states mill
ltary academy acknowledge that oscar
L. Booze. who lies dying at his home
In Bristol. Pa, was hazed, and cadets
OF the first class admit that they forced
the young man to drink a burning
LIQUID OF tomato ketchup. Worcester
shire sauce and cayenne pepper.
The young man was called out ito the
woods" where. refusing TO meet fel-
low cadet in a stand-up fight he was
branded coward and subsequently
forced to resign from the academy.
The authorities have made an investi-
cation and have learned OF the hazing
episode. Colonel Mills, the superinten-
dent OF the academy. declares that
Booze was only put to the customary
test of manliness. He win not disci-
pline the cadets involved. Colonel
Mills said: ~-'%-
Booze was not a favorite with his
classmates and was not liked by the
old cadets. He had quarrel with a
cadet and was called out TO & personal
encounter. He went outside the acad-
emy to meet another cadet in a fair
fight but when the crucial moment came
/ am told he burst into tears. His at
titude was regarded as cowardly and
unsoldierly.
Il don't feel called upon 70 inquire
into an occurrence OF this kind. There
was nothing unmanly in a cadst being
called ont to meet another in O per-
sonal encounter. We train men here for
the army. They must grow up soldiers
and not towards. They must stand
ready to meet an enemy at a moments
notice even In the knowledge that they
are facing defeat.
When cadets in a spirit Of manli-
ness call out fourth-class men the au-
thorities do not wish TO interfere. II a
cadet was called out for obeying an
academy rule or for an offense forcing
a matter OF discipline that would be a
subject for our investigation.
There did exist in the academy
many cruel forms OF hazing. This was
abolished by the cadets own volition
about one year ago"
