Reduction of Revenue.

In regard to the reduction of the war
tax revenue the secretary says:
In the absence of any expression to the
contrary, it may be safely assumed that
1t is the desire of congress to observe
faithfully the general requirements OF
the sinking fund act. and to provide rev.
enue sufficient to meet the charges thus
imposed upon the government. The pres
emit and prospective easy condition OF the
treasury justifies the belief that the sink
Ing fund requirement can be met, both
for the current fiscal year and for the
next fiscal year. and still permit mod
crate reduction in taxes imposed by the
war-revcnue act A reduction to the
amount of 0,O0O.o 600 is therefore recon-

Joseph Hartman, manager of the
Cosmopolitan saloon, had q thrilling
experience yesterday afternoon while
bathing in the surf near Waikiki An
mex; an experience which Hartman
narrates with great trepidation, for
Hartman came near meeting a shock
ing and horrible death in the vise-like
grip of monster shark. He escaped
death. he contends, owing to the for
tuitous circumstance that he was float
ing at the time when the shark made
the attack. his hands and feet being
close together. preventing any portion
of his body being vulnerable to on
slaught of the voYaeious brute.
Hartman was accompanied by his
friend. Joe Collins. They were quite
a distance out when suddenly Hartman
was attacked by the shark. Hartman's
bathing suit was completely torn from
his body and the imprint Of the brute's
teeth are plainly visible on the fleshy
part Of his body. The shark. after in
fiicting these injuries, disappeared as
suddenly as he had appeared. Hart

aud that would at the same time in
crease the sugar output for the acreage
in this State.
II am delighted to say that our
patience has at length been rewarded.
We now have two kinds. of cane that
are kiShy successful. They are uu-
questiOnably a great deal more salts
factory than the best cane known here
for many years. In my opinion they
are the most valuable canes that can
be grown in Louisiana soil. They
make what our agricultural experts
call an ideal specimen. We have
classified them as IT. So and II, -.
ITO the lay public there is nothing
exceedingly significant in those words
i. IA but to the sugar planter they
will be nothing less than startling.
This cane produces thirty eight tons
to the acre. The juice yields l6 per
cent Of sugar. Under a nine-roi!er
mill. 81 per cent is obtained without
saturati0n.
III you will compare these figures
with statistics of cane now grown.
you will realize that this new cane
will revolutiOnize the sugar industry
IN Louisiana. The old cane gives an
acreage of thirty to thirty-five tons,
with IL per cent yield in the JUICE.
Under the roller it gives percen
tage Of 81.
"The new cane," continued DR..
Stubbs, is lOng-jOinted, green, per-
fectly healthy and beautiful in ap-
pearance. 1t has an excellent stub
BILE and remarkable vigor it withstOOd
the terrific gale that swept over the
city on Sept. 9 and 10. 1t IS deep
rooted and strong and was the only
cane in the field that was not blown
either fat or partly down to the
ground. 1t was not damaged the
least by the storm. On Sunday
morning it was standing perfectly
erect.
ave are ready and willing to
furnish this cane to any planter who
may apply for it. We expect to
send out more than 500 bundles in
the next few weeks. Requests To-
the cane are coming IN on every mail
We shall begin to snip the cane in
