TO ABANDON FREE TRADE.
English Tax on Bounty Sugar Means
Great Change.

London, March 6.-Regarding the prop
osition to place duty on sugar, James
Reid, in an interview with a representa-
tive of the Associated Press, said:
"A tax on sugar is practically protec.
tion, but see no way out of it. Indeed.
the refiners of my constituency will not
be satisfied with mere import duty, ar
guing that this will leave them little bet
ter off that before. What we hope to
get, thought am refner myself-is a
ccunter-vailing duty which will nullify
the bounties offered by France, Germany
and Belgium. Twenty-Five years ago
there We're IA refineries in Greenock Now
there are only four. Formerly the pro-
prletors were very wealthy. Now they
are reduced to mediocre circumstances.
90 not think a tax or counter-vailing
ocsy Will seriously affect the American
sugar. 1t is chiefly aimed at the cheap
beet tugars of the continent, which can
undersell anything produced here.
'The West Indian people are also seri-
ously affected and are giving us the full
weight of their influence. The chief op-
position comes from the English confec-
TONERS and other users of cheap sugar.
But l do not think the government will
allow the refining industry to die out for
the sake of one particular branch"
A serious editorial in todays Times,
discussing the advisability of placing a
duty on sugar, corn, and agricultural
products in view of the fact that taxa.
ton must be doubled during the next
three years, says:
The people are tired of theoretical OBJ
5ections to certain import duties which
existed in the golden days of Mr.. Glad
stones free trade, but whether the gov
ernment, in spite Of their enormous ma
5ority. will be able to break down. even
rs regards sugar alone, the principles Of
free trade, is matter upon which their
own supporters are inclined to be doubt

In Anticipation of More Riots in Par
Lament.

London, March 6.-The excitement oc-
casioned by last nights scenes in the
house of commons is still very evident,
and when the house met at noon TODAY in
view Of possible disturbances the whole
police force on duty at st. Stephens had
been mobilized and reinforced by re,
serves.
John Redmond speedily rose and raised
question of privilege arising from the
painful scenes Of last night" He claimed
hat members had been suspended with
out proper steps being taken to identify
item, and that their removal had been
accompanied by undue violence. He was
satisfied, he said, that members were
suspended who had actually gone to the
lobby to participate in the division.
The speaker, in reporting, pointed out
that Mr.. Redmond was not raising a
question of privilege, but point of
order. If he was properly Informed of
any wrongful suspensions he (the
speaker) would be glad to take steps to
Iectify them.
Mr.. Redmond tried to move an ad-
journment, and appealed to Mr.. Balfour
to give the members an opportunity for
discussion.
Mr.. Balfour, remarking that he pre-
sumed it was desired to institute means
for preventing recurrence of the scenes
Of last night, promised to consider what
opportunity for discussion could be
given.

Application was made to Judge Smith

erhead to show cause why he does not
pay him $500 salary for part Of the quar-

states that the first quarter of the fis-
cal year ended on February %, and there
is due him $500 for the part of the quar-
ter that he has been in office, but that
Calderhead refused to issue a warrant
for that amount. He states that under
the law, the state officers enter upon
their duties the first Monday in Jam
uary; that this year the first Monday
fell on the 7th, while in 1905 it will fall
on the 3rd, so that if the salary figured
in days instead of quarters, each state
officer will lose four days salary, al
though the constitution fixes their term
of office at four years and the salary
at $4,000 year. He maintains that the

formerly first sergeant in troop G,
Seventh U. S. cavalry, is expected to
reach New York today from Naples, a
prisoner in charge of Lieut.. w. Q. D.-
Iu;-, U. S. A. Darrell is charged with
numbering and robbing fellow soldier
and tent-mate in Cuba
More than a year ago, Lieut.. Dupuy
was ordered to find the murderer Dis
guised as a sailor, the lieutenant fol-
lowed Darrell from Cuba through the
Grtish West 1dnes, from there to Lou
renzo Marques, from there through South
Africa and finally to Naples. When Da1 :
rell saw Dupuy in Naples the fugative
gave up and said he was glad it was
over They sailed on the Hohenzollern,
which is expected here soon. The mul-
der was a. peculiar one and DarraM' s
lie has not been told. He and Harry
Couch enlisted in the army about the
same time and both We're assigned to
the cava'ry branch of the service. Owing
to the intimacy that sprang up between
them both asked to be detailed to the
same troop and the wish was granted
In the Spanish war the regiment was
sent to Cuba and the men became tent
mates. Darrell was a good soldier and
won corporal's stripes and later. for
heroism, was made first sergeant of his
troop. He and Couch remained the best
of friends but one night the body of
Couch was found in the company's street.
He had been murdered and witnesses
swore that the heroic first sergeant was
the mouderer and that he afterwards
had robbed the body. Darrell fed and
then began the long chase. He will be
taken to Cuba for trial.
