THE COLONIES AND OUR SUGAR
SUPPLY.

Mr.. Charles a. Champion. who has been
Bureau for years and who was one of the
commission to consider questions relating
to sugar duties contributes an instructive
article to the Forum the sugar supply
of the United States as bearing upon the
new colonies. 1t is instructive because
it shows the absurdity of much of the as
sertion regarding the capacity of the
United States to furnish it's own sugar
from beets within a comparatively limited
period Mr. Champion expresses surprise
that the secretary of agriculture, with his
opportunities for information, should make
such a prediction, and calls attention to
the statistics prepared by the secretary's
subordinate Mr.. Spencer, for a census
bulletin, which puncture the confident pre-
dictions regarding the supplying of our
own people with homemade beet-sugar.
Attention is called to the statistics Of Mr..
Spencer. In 1890 thirty factories produced
n, 427 tons of beet-sugar. The consumption
of sugar in the United States during the
year 1899 was 2.O71,OOO tons. and during 1900,
ZOO tons-an increase in consumption
of 900 tons In a year. The increase in
the production of beet-sugar in this coun-
try in 1900 over 1899 was 31,O2S tons. That
is the natural increase of consumption in
that year was nearly FIVE times as great
as the increase Of production. 1t would
be necessary to double the number of sugar
factories 10 meet the increased consump-
ton for one year. and it would require one
thousand factories Of the capacity of those
now in operation to produce the sugar now
consumed in this country
Mr.. Spencer says that il would be the
! smallest part of the task 10 raise the two
or three hundred million dollars necessary
to construct the thousand factories Their
equipment with trained technologists and
artisans would be more difficult. But still
more difficult would be the production OF
the beets necessary to make the sugar
supply of the country. ten tons of beets
being the average yield OF an acre. with
the labor Of three men during the growing
season. to produce a ton of sugar. Let
the statement be further elaborated: 2,22O.
900 acres of land would be needed to raise
the sugar consumed last year, and the
labor of 6.66O00O men would be needed for
the cultivation OF the beets. to say nothing
/ OF the men and teams necessary 10 har-
/ vest the beets and take them TO the sugar
factories. 1t is idle TO assume that such
vast preparation for the production OF
sugar-beets could be made in few years
| Consequently. Mr.. Spencer is warranted IN
| saving that for generations to come il

RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE
OVER FOURTEEN BILLION PIECES OF
MAIL HANDLED LAST YEAR.

Dewey Prize Money Case.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The annual re-
port of General Superintendent White, of
the railway mail service, for the fiscal year
1901, shows that at the close of the year
there was 13S full railway postOfice lines,
1,102 apartment car lines, nineteen electric
and cable lines and forty-seven steamboat
lines in operation. The total mileage of
railway, steamboat, electric and cable lines
covered by the railway postoffice service
was 5S2154. The pieces of mail matter
handled exclusive of registered matter)
was 141S1, 400, an increase of Psi per
cent. over last year. The number of errors
in distribution was one to every 10,G-j
pieces. There were 1719S,9S5 pieces of mail
matter illegibly addressed as to require
clerical attention before delivery could be
made, an increase of over 2,500,000 over last
year.
There were during the year S25 casualties,
in which seven clerks We're killed. sixty
three seriously injured and 229 slightly in
jured. This is the largest number of casu-
alties ever recorded in one year in the his
tory of the service. Recommendation IS
made for the relief of injured and disabled
employees of the railway mail service by
Withholding per cent. from the salaries
of the clerks and with 1T creating a fund
to provide for disabled and superanuuated
clerks.
The reorganization and reclassification OF
the service is again recommended. Also the
passage of an act for the protection OF
clerks while in the discharge of their Off
cial duties in postal cars.
The work of inducing publishers to sepa-
rate their mails before depOsiting Them
in postoffices in the large cities has been
pressed with vigor and substantial gain

will be necessary for the people of the
over and above what we are likely to
produce.
Under such conditions. Mr.. Champion
holds the opinion that our beet-sugar in
terest cannot be injured by Congress if it
should extend some advantage to Cuba
over other exporters of sugar. Since the
war, the acreage of sugar in Cuba has
been increased % per cent, so that a yield
of between 6OOOOO and 100000 tons is esti-
mated for next season. He would not
admit the sugars of Cuba free Of duty;
but, as a matter of equity and interest, he
would reduce the existing duty of about
IL cent a pound 25 per cent. on Cuban
sugar, which would give the producers on
the island an advantage of two-ffths of a
cent pound over European exporters.
Between the demands of those who insist
that no favor shall be shown to Cuban
sugar raisers and those who urge that
such sugars should be admitted free of
duty. it SENS that some such compromise
as Mr.. Champion suggests might be
reached without contention in Congress
similar to that over the Porto Rican tariff
bill during the winter and spring of 1900.
II the Cuban crop should be doubled by
such a concession in the duty, there would
yet be a margin of 100000 tons of sugar
for the domestic industry to cover. At the
present rate of growth the beet-sugar in
dustry will not yield 100000 tons annually
for decade at least

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.-Adolphus Busch,

Busch, ''of the correctness of my judgment.

CONDITIONS IN PORTO RICO.
Commissioner Elliott Says Prospects
Are Reasonably Bright.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The annual re-
port of the commissioner of the interior
for Porto Rico, w. II. Elliott, says a
searching investigation of land titles
throughout the island and careful surveys
of all public lands are necessary. 1t says
health conditions are improving. The gov
eminent system will show monthly deficit
unless business largely increases from
causes not now contemplated. Commits
sioner Elliott raises the question whether
the so-called public lands of Porto Rico
were ceded to the United States by the
Paris treaty as Grown lands" or remain
the property of Porto Rico as state lands. "
Capital. it is stated, is needed to restore old
plantations
The report concludes: "All in all, not
withstandng the deplorable condition OF
the laboring classes at the ceSsion of Porto
Rico to the United States, the awful de-
struction and consequent misery and woe
of the people wrought by the hurricane or
Aug. S, 1899, the injury TO trade and COM
merce caused by the necessary change IN
the circulating medium, and in spite OF
pernicious opposition and malicious mis-
representation of the methods and policies
adopted and pursued there are evidences
of substantial progress, and the prospects
for the future are reasonably bright"

was no unnecessary delay and he COM
mended Admiral Schley's conduct on that
cruise.
In the absence of information by the
captains Of the Yale and MINI eapous Cap
tain Parker held that Admiral Schsey had
right 10 suppose that Captain SiGsbee
had given all the information he had from
the scouts. Speaking Of tue information

campaign. Admiral Schley OBJECTED 10 The
date of the 18th. but Captain Parker main

by the Colon's log.

Whether he acted wisely and his judy

about this matter. We are permitted TO go
