Mr.. Hanna did not know whether Senator

of politics and politicians, and showed him

time there Is room for belief that damages
TO growing corn early in July are not so
serious as might prevail under similar cir
cumstances one month later. Corn is the
staple agricultural product of America and
the government estimate of its value last
year was approximately three-quarters of
one billion dollars, which amount was
eighty million dollars in excess of the value
Of the cotton and wheat crops combined
1t Will be seen. therefore, that material in
jury TO growing corn affects trade in all
Its ramifications, and in all sections OF the
country. The smallest corn crop OF recent
years was in 1894. when the production was
something in excess OF LOO millions OF
bushels. The area planted at present is
much in excess Of the 1894 acreage, and
moreover. the damage yet is largely
prospective. Ii is apparent. however. that
effects will be widely felt in the United
States, and to a certain extent abroad,
since our exports Of corn last year amount

atoms.

The process eliminates about IL per cent. OF

time that will produce a perfectly pure
grape sugar, retaining permanently its pure
white color and all other desirable proper

course made from corn; the starch pro-
duced from ordinary Indian corn is trans
formed nto grape sugar. producing thirty

Waterbury Democrat., 1901-02-25

There is chance that the democrats of the house may duplicate their tri- umph in the ways and means commit tee and defeat the republican scheme to have the bill for the reduction of war taxes, now deadlocked in confer ence, fail. As the matter now stands the house conferees refuse to agree to the senate amendments and the senate conferees refuse to recede. It is be- lieved that if the matter can be got before the house again all of the dem- ocrats and q sufficient number of re- publicans to make a majority would vote to accept the senate amendments and the bill could be sent to Mir Me kinley, who would not dare to veto it. much as he would like to see it fail That would be as marked q triumph as was ever achieved by the minority in either branch. of congress. The democratic leaders are striving to bring it about, not because they think taxes should be reduced, and it is well worthy of their best efforts.

Mir NIcI>inley's recommendation that congress vote it's thanks to Sampson is hung up in the senate committee on naval affairs and is likely to remain there All of the naval promotions sent to the senate except those of Sampson and Schley will be confirmed. To cover their cases q compromise was reached under which q bill reviying the grade of vice-admiral. and author izing the appointment of two was fla vorably reported to the senate, but unless some assurance is given that Schley will be made the senior of Sampson, as he is now, there is no cer- tanty that the bill will be allowed to go through. There is q very deter mined feeling in the senate against al- lowing MT Mckinley to jump Sampson over the head of Schley as q reward for a victory won by Schley.

"Is there deal on between the ad- ministration and the Panama canal gang?' asks a Washington critic Sev- eral things are calculated to justify the suspicion that there is. One thing is the presence in Washington of Senor Silva, minister from Colombia, who has openly stated that he is here sole ly for the purpose of offering to trans fer to the United States Colombia's rights in the Panama canal, and will, as soon as his task is completed, go back home and resume the office of minister of foreign affairs. Another thing is the republican show down that Senator Morgan forced by insisting upon action by the senate committee on foreign relations on his resolution declaring that neither the Hay Pauncefote treaty nor the Clayton Bulwer treaty should be allowed to stand in the way of legislation by con- gress for the construction of the Mic aragua canal. By a strict party vote Senator Morgan's resolution has been adversely reported. thus showing the republican members of the committee to be opposed to the Nicaragua canal Senator Morgan has got his fighting blood up, and says he intends to put the senate on record by demanding a vote on his resolution.

One gas light company, the New York, had nearly twenty-nine miles of iron pipe laid. and furnished gas at 70 cents per hundred cubic feet.
 Then, as now, the question of wa ter supply was being agitated. Most of the drinking water was obtained from wells and pumps. but below Prince street it was thought not to be good, and many wealthy families and the larger hotels used water from the springs in the upper part of the islands. brought in by the farmers. For laundry purposes cistern water was used.
