RUSSIAN SUGAR
UNDERS0lD ALL
THEY HAD A FINE MONOPOLY Y
HERE.
new DUTY CHANGES THINGS
MUST STAND ON EQUAL FOOTING
WITH OTHER EXPORTS-WILL
NOT RETALIATE,

New York, Feb. 15.-Secretary Cages
order imposing countervailing duty of
81 cents on each pood (36 pounds), of
RUSSIAN sugar imported into the cOun
try, is the subject of considerable com
ment among sugar men. Mr.. Gray of
Willet and Gray, said:
Some time ago the secretary sent an
expert to investigate the sugar growing
industry in Russia and to find out If
Russia really paid a bounty, either direct
or indirect on sugar. 1t has not as yet
been determined whether or not Russia
pays a direct bounty on the expectation
of refined sugar. 1t was found. however.
that the Russian system of controlling
the supply well as the domestic price
of sugar operated as bounty to the
manufacturers Of that country. The
action of Mr.. Gage endorses the vote
of the conference held last year at Brus-
sells TO The effect that Russia should be
placed upon the same basis with other
countr.ss in the payment of countervail-
ing duties on sugar. Now that duty has
been imposed upon Russian sugar, there
will be no more exports Of the product
to this country, because the new extra
duty of 81 cents a hundred pounds will
practically exclude Russia from our mar
ket. This will mean cessation of only
hoVVUuV worth Oh business u year. Inc
Russian product tests quite as well as
the American sugar 1t closely resembles
the Louisiana product and has been used
here by manufacturers since it answers
all the purposes of high grade white
sugar. The Russians have enjoyed a
profitable sugar exporting business. for
they were able to send their product here
at half Il cent a pound less than the cost
of production here
President Post of the National Sugar
Refining company, said that the Rus
slams We're placed on the same basis with
the Austrians. French and Germans, and
there fore had no right to complain
against the imposition of the duty. He
added:
Russia will not resort to retaliatory

PRIVATE BILL DAY.
And the House Would Not Take Up
Appropriations.

Washington, Feb. 15.-This was private
bill day under the rules. but Mr.. Cannon.
chairman of the appropriation committee.
desired to proceed with the consideration
OF the sundry civil appropriation bill and
moved that the house go into committee
OF the whole for that purpose. The mo-
tion was contested by the friends of pri-
vate claims as this would be the last OBJ
portunity the house would have in this
congress of considering such bills. In
anticipation of contest over the right
of way. Mr.. Underwood, of Alabama, the
democratic whip had sent out notice
yesterday to all democrats to be in their
seats today and there was an unusually
full attendance on that side of the house
When Mr. Cannon saw the drift he called
across the aisle to Mr.. Richardson, the
minority leader:
You're trying to loot the treasury
again.
On a rising vote Mr. Cannon's motion
was defeated, 62 to IA, whereupon the
yeas and noes were called for and the
clerk called tn roll. The motion was lost.

WEYLER IS IN
THE SADDLE
AND SPAIN MAY GROAN UNDER
HIS DESPOTISM.
MAY 0YERTURN THE THRONE
And Start Another Line of Kings
Country Is Ripe For
Revolution.

New York, Feb. ia special to the
Times from Washington says:
1t is learned that General Weyler has
not only proclaimed martial law in
Madrid. but has posted his troops in
such manner as to command every
part of the city. The downfall of the
ministry seems certain. and that of the
government possible.
Nevertheless there is suspicion that
TINS proceeding may be a coup de etat of
Weyler's. That officer has for the last
two years been acting exactly like a
general who was preparing for the role
of the MAN on Horseback" He has
been making speeches and giving out
statements, the effect of which was to
SHOW that he was the only man who
could bring Spain through her troubles
RE IS, however, the captain general, and
as such he is the person to enforce mar.
tlal law in Madrid when it is declared.
The disturbances which General Wevler
is now trying to quell are the result of
Carlist or republican origin, presuma :
bly,.
1t is declared that the uprising is in
reality an outbreak of the discontented.
Those taking part in it comprise all
classes of malcontents. and it's causes
are like those which brought about the
French revolution AS one diplomat t
put it:
Spain is suffering from a complica-
ton of dseas ses.''
Poverty has been increasing, the bur-
den of taxation has been growing heav-
Ter, and the laboring classes are ripe fo.
revolution. At the same time the ruling
dynasty is unpopular. All these COM
p,ications and a number of others have
brought about widespread feeling of
unrest and great events are looked for
in Spain unless the incipent revolution
is queled.
Spain has been tending toward a re-
bellion for some time. Even in the lfe-
time of King Alfonso Mi there We're
continual disturbances. and in the clos
ing year of his reign there We're la Dor
riots Of such seriousness that it was
reported that the rioters had posone 4
the wells in many PAGES. The queen
regent has always been unpopular. ana
during the Spanish American war she
received the significant nickname OF
The American Woman. the same cpl
thet which was applied to Marie An
tonette. Only a few days ago an at
tempt was made to assassinate her.
Bad as Spain's condition was in the Efe-
time of Alfonso XII and later. the i'm
poverishment resulting from the war
with America has made it imnea surably
worse. and has driven the labOrins
classes to desperation.

Portland, Maine. Z eb. 15.-The federal
authorities here are in possession of pa
pers found on the person of Sam Wah
kee, of Boston, when he was arrested in
the act of smuggling siH of his COIN
tI.men into the United States across the
Maine border which led to the belief that
an ORGANIZED band of Chinese have been
engaged in smuggling their fellows into
this country with the collusion of gov
ernment officers. Among the papers are
many letters which gave clue to the
me thods employed in evading the immi-
grafton laws. In one of the letters, Sam
spoke of having successfully brought
0OO Cinnamon across the border in the
past dozen years.
Sam. Who was at one time Chinese
inspector, was at the head Of the organi-
zatiun. A Chinaman who was to be
smuggled in. was furnished with cer-
tificate of earlier date. containing an
o, !einal valid second sheet. with the atfi-
davits and signatures of two white wit
nesses, testifying to the applicants being

The report that o. c. Barber. of the

DELEGATE WILCOX is SAFE.
Hawaiian Representative in the House
Is Let OF Easy.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Delegate VIII
cox. Of Hawaii today scored a distinct
triumph in securing a unanimous vote
Of the house committee on elections No.
l, confirming his right to seat in the
house of representatives and holding
that the charges filed against him were
not sufficient to warrant his removal.
Chairman Tavlor was authorized to
make the report to that effect which will
be submitted in about a week.
After the meeting Mr. Taylor explained
the general conditions which had innu-
enced the decision of the committee The
case was not considered so much in its
technical aspect, but rather on broad
grounds, all the circumstances. condi-
tinns and surroundings applicable to
Hawaii as one of our own insu!ar pos
sessions being taken into consideration.
AS a delegate from new territory it
was not felt that Wilcox should be met
with the same strict conviction required
in sustaining the right of representa-
tive in congress to his seat, as the dele
gate has only limited powers and is
little more than agent. AS to the
charge of treason, the letters placed in
evidence We're written prior to the or
ganlc act making Hawaii territory and
there was no disposition to go into these
prior issues Whatever may have been
the technical irregularity of the election.
there was the saving fact that the per-
1ect machinery of election was estab>
lished, ballot box regularly provided,
practically every one participated in the
voting and the will of the people was
expressed
And on broad political grounds" said
Mr.. Taylor. I'VE fe,t sure that the pao-
pie of these insular possessions should
understand that they We're not to be met
by mere technical objections which
would deprive them of representatives"

SUGAR CASE UP IN CONGRESS.
Tariff OH Russian Imports Too Big for
Any One Man.

Washington. Feb 15.-Secretary Gage
said yesterday that the question of i'm
posing counterVaiiing duty on sugar
imported into the United States from
Russia is greatly involved, and IN view
of the importance of the case and of
all the facts, he did not believe that
the ipse diAit of any one person should
be final. Congress. he said, has estab-
lished the board of general appraisers
whose duty it is to settle just such
questions as have arisen in the Russian
sugar case. 1t is a board of experts
Thoroughly conVersant with all the Gus
tom laws Of the country. and has au-
thority to summon witnesses and is in
every way fitted to determine the facts
He therefore has taken the necessary
steps to bring it before the board.
