The Anderson case grew out Of the
efforts made by Mr. Tammen and Mr..
Bonfils to secure the release of Alfred
Packer from the penitentiary. Ander-
son conceived n plan by which he
thought he could secure Packers free

COMING SUGAR TARIFF FIGHT
WILL ENLIST VAST INTERESTS

Washington, Nov. 1S.-There Is to
be battle of brains backed by mil
lions in the lobbies Of Washington this
winter. The gla6iators are preparing
their arguments and mapping out lines
of policy. Conferences are held daily
within the different camps.
The question at issue Is whether raw
sugar grown in Cuba shall be admitted
to the United States free of duty, or
at reduced rate of duty, under
treaty Of reciprocity. The interests
involved are vast in capital and in the
possible effect of congressional action
upon the happiness and prosperity of
thousands of people. a delegation from
Hawaii has already visited Washing
ton and another from Cuba is en- route
here.
The capital involved in the United
etates is $9O,OOOO,OOO of the American
ISugar Refining Company, of which
$15.OO0OOO is new stock issued this
year for the avowed purpose of enlarg-
ing the Cuban sugar growing, as well
as the refining enterprises of that cor
poration; the $19,OOO,OOO of the Beet
Sugar Company. millions of other beet
companies, and sum SO vast, invest
Sed In real estate and mortgages in
Cuba, that no accurate estimate of the
amount can be made. There is also
the interest of the cane sugar indus
try in Louisiana.
The beet sugar industry will claim
that 1t should be granted protection

Growth of American shipping.

The report of Mr. Chamberlain,
United States commissioner of navign-
tion, says the past fiscal year has been
the third successful year of growth in
American shipping, exceeding the two
previous years The extent and nature
of work under way or projected in ship
yards promises an even larger growth
for the current fiscal year.
American tonnage has now attained
practically the former maximum of
1861. The figures of 1901, compared
with 1861, show an increase in coasting
trade vessels from 2,7O4,554 tons to A.
$50, ,GS3 tons (two-thirds of this increase
being on the great lakes), decrease
In foreign trade vessels from 2,496, $40
tons to S79,595 tons, and decrease In
whaling and fishing vessels from 1885,
1916 tons to 81 $40 tons.
OF our total tonnage 3,823, ,21O tons
are wooden vessels and only ! 1,001 OF
tons are iron or steel.
Our feet of ocean steamers in for
eign trade, the report says, Is too small
to be compared with that of foreign
nations. The fleets Of each of the four
large British and German steamship
corporations exceed the American
fleets In tonnage. mileage and business
The tonnage built and dOcumented in
the United States during the past fis-
cal year comprised 1880, vessels of
4S3 400 gross tons.
The steel vessels under construction
or under contract during the current
fiscal year will much exceed similar
tonnage built in any previous year.
The bureau Is advised of eighty-nine
such merchant vessels Of 355, ,465 gross
tons, to be valued at about $36, 600, 900.
Besides these seventy-One naval ves-
sells of 2S1. .148 tons displacement are
building. In this work forty-four
plants with a capital Of about SOS, ,OOO,-
600, employing about 10000 men, are
engaged.
The building of ten trans Atlantic
steamers presumably rests upon antic-
ipated legislation by Congress.
The difference In wages on American
and foreign vessels is considered in de
tail. In Illustration the pay roll lex
Guiding master) of $50 men on the
steamship st. Louis is $11,3OO; of 427
men on the British steamship Oceanica
is $1,000, and of 900 men on the Ger
man steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, $7,715.
The report contains detailed state
ment Of the foreign voyages of Ameri-
can vessels last year, showing that the
American flag WAS seen much oftener
In the North Atlantic during President
Jefferson's embargo (1608) or during
the cruises Of the Alabama, than at
present. Foreign shipping in our Pa.
circ trade had doubled in three years

against Cuban competition. The Louis
lana cane growers will advance the
same claim. Henry 7. Oxnard, leader
of the beet sugar industry and also in
terested in Louisiana cane. will lead
the intellectual side of the battle for
the development Of domestic sugar
Said Mr.. Oxnard:
II estimate that we will produce
100000 tons Of beet sugar i'm the Unit
ed States this year. In ten years am
certain that the beet product Of the
United States, IL it continues to re-
ceive protection. will reach 100000
tons n year, which it nearly equal to
our present annual consumption.
Mr.. Havemeyer has declared in ia
vor Of letting in raw sugar from
Cuba free. At the same time he would
increase the duty on refined to one
half cent per pound. in order to protect
still further the product of his refin-
cries. Mr.. Havemeyer's ultimate OBJ
ject is the annexation of Cuba. He
has duty now ON refined sugar of
! three tenths Of a cent n pound, equiva-
lent to the cost of refining.
IAN annex Cuba would mean Ameri-
can prices In that island for labor and
supplies. But to continue to treat
Cuba as foreign territory and at the
same time to admit its raw sugar free,
would be blow to production of beet
sugar at home. We shall fight hard
against that proposition In Washing

There is danger that the religious
significance OF Thank g wing day may
be forgotten. We SO soon grow accus-
toned to our blessings that we accept
them as part of the general order OF
things and naturally become migrate

ference. But as matter Of fact most
things which come to us come by the
pure favor or courtesy OF others, and
how unworthy do we consider the in
CRATE! writes Rev. s. T. Willis in the
New York Ledger. He Is one Of the
most contemplate characters with
which we meet. We consider him even
uncivil who does not spontaneously
say or write Thank you" for the
favo,s and kindness shown him by his
fellow man. Ard this woid Of CRATE
full appreciation is never lost. Even
II 1t may seem to have no effect gpon
him for whom it was given. it will
not be lost upon those who hear, nor
will Its influence be powerless upon
him who bestows it. A cultivation OF
the Thanksgiving habit will make to
grow the sense of appreciation. and
as result our spirits will be sweet
ened, our souls enlarged and the whole
horizon of life beautified. Then the
ordinary affairs Of life will never more
be commonplace; our conditions and
surroundings will always appear in a
fresh light. This is significant. The
man whose family find in him source
Of endless delight and joy is one who
does not suffer the common relation
ships and the daily intercourse to be-
come colorless and arid. Such man
keeps love alive by cultivating the
sentiment of affection. His face, his
voice, his deed, makes the courses
Of life brim and sparkle with a full
current of tenderness and feeling. So
1t is again with the great artist who
sees the common In an uncommon
light and clothes the most ordinary
objects with beauty and charm. In
like manner the religious nature dis
closes its presence by the unfailing
freshness of its feeling for all rela-
tions and seasons and customs and
days. It numbers its blessings daily.
and daily does 1t express gratitude be-
cause 1t feels deeply and gladly the
weight Of Its vast Indebtedness. The
years may differ greatly in the COM
forts and blessings they bring, but
Gods unbroken bsneflcence knows no
divisions Of time. His bounty Is an
unbroken eternity. All years, how
ever hard in the experiences they
bring, are years of blessedness; 1t
should be ours to receive what God
sends and to be constantly thankful
We should thank him who has made

QUAY RECOGNIZED
BY PRESIDENT
Mr.. Roosevelt Turns Down
York's Insurgent Candi-
date for Postmaster.

"Pennsylvania Republicans in Wash
ington who are adherents Of Senator
Quay and the regular organization are
delighted with President Roosevelt's
action in appointing Augustus
Loucks postmaster at York." says
special dispatch from Washington to
the Philadelphia Inquirer. I'm doing
so, the President turned down A. L.
Strayer, a pronounced insurgent. and
demonstrated beyond doubt the fact
that he has no sympathy with mongrel
yellow politics.
1.-THE fight was square contest be-
tween Senator Quay. representing the
party organization. and Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith. repre-
senting the insurgents. When Robert
]. Lewis was elected congressman from
the hitherto Democratic York-Adams
district last fall he presented to Presi-
dent Mckinley Mr.. Loucks' name Tor
postmaster at York to succeed David
A. Minnick, Democrat, whose term ex-
pired January 18 last.
"Mr. Loucks, like Representative
Lewis, is a strong Quay man in poll
tics. The insurgents OF York imme-
diately started to oppose his selection.
Or. James A. Dale, the anti-Quay lead
er, brought out A. l.. Strayer for the
place, and had no difficulty In advo-
cate the latter's appointment.
"Mr. Smith used every influence with
tho late President Mckinley in Stray
er's behalf, but the late executive had
made it a rule to permit Republican
congressman to control such appoint
ments in their districts. He would not
break this rule nor did he desire to
wound the feelings Of one Of his cab
met members, so that for months the
appointment was hung up. About two
months ago Representative Lewis went
TO Canton to SEQ President Mckinley
and secured from the latter q letter
ordering the appointment Of Loucks
Representative Lewis called upon the
postuvMt: took once and prsssRsedden'
letter from Mr.. Mckinley. Stpl the
postmaster general tried to hold the
appointment back. About ten days
ago Senator Quay came to Washing
ton and called upon the President. 1t
was then announced in . Washington
dispatch to Tho Inquirer that Mr..
Roosevelt would recognize party reg
ularity In making appointments. The
truth Of this dispatch was promptly
denied by the insurgent newspapers,
including the oficial organ Of the post
master general.
Last Wednesday Mr.. Lewis came to
Washington and went direct to the
White House, where he had q confer
ence with President Roosevelt. About
the same time Postmaster General
Smith arrived, and the whole matter
was gone over before the President.
Mr.. Roosevelt agreed to the wishes Of
Representative Lewis, and told him
that Loucks would receive the appoint
ment.
THE contest was really the first test
OF strength between the regulars and
the insurgents of Pennsylvania with
President Roosevelt's administration.
and resulted in a square turn-down
for the insurgents, clean victory for
the Quayites and the personal humilia.
