The descent is made on horseback to the brink of the inner gorge, where one looks down in awe on the wild, headlong torrent of the Cobra do; and, if he so desires, may climb down the rough granite to the waters edge. But the most interesting feature of the trip is the visit to the wonderful caverns that pierce the massive limestone stratum of the middle esplanade.
 These caves are of unknown depth and area, and may, per haps, extend their labyrinthine galleries and chambers under many miles of the canyon walls. Illuminated by flash light or an array of candles, the huge sta lagmites springing from the floor in shapes weird and uncouth, and the long, graceful stalactites dropping from the ceiling of lofty,
 vaulted corridors or covering the walls with lace-like tracery, make up a picture at once beautiful and sublime. Many have cOnsid-

 An able and efficient company of guides is at the constant ser vice of those who wish to explore the canyons mysteries or visit various interesting localities on the plateau. They are all well seasoned and experienced noun taineers.
 Among the points of special interest accessible from the hotel are Bissell's Point via Moran, nine miles on horseback. The former affords a favorite-sOme say a most perfect-view of the canyon; and from the latter, Moran, the artist painted his famous view. Extensive ruins, left by the ancient cliff dwellers, are found on both points. The Limestone Caves on Grand View trail, and on to the crest of the Granite Gorge.

SECRETARY GAGE EXPLAINS.
Reasons for the Order to Refuse
ftuEfan Sugar.

Secretary Gage sent to the State De
partmeHt this morning his reply 20 the
Italian Government recent communica-
ton on the subject of the alleged bounty
on sugar 1stered to exporters by that Gov
grnment.
Some weeks ago the Treasury Depart
mcnt ordered collectors Of customs at the
various ports TO refuse liquidation Of en-

~ the bounty said 10 be offered by the
Italian Government TO exporters
The Italian Foreign Office promptly sent
a communication to the State Depart
nent. which was transmitted TO the
Treasury Department. denying the exist
erce Of sugar bounty provision in ItaIy-s
tariff law and stating. moreover, that
Italy had not exported any sugar The
production OF sugar in that country, It
was said. is not sufficient to meet the de
mands OF home consumption and there
fore none could be spared for export.
Secretary Gage. in his reply today. eX-
plains that the order to customs officers
relative to Italian sugar was merely pro-
viSIOHal or tentative IN character The
order was made necessary, he explained
by certain iutimation that some Italian
sugar would be imported At New York
and by the contemporaneoUs information
that Italy offered bounty to sugar ex-
porteTs in that country
The hint that some sugar from Italy
would be imported at New York was Cb-
tanned from letters addressed to the
Treasury Department by merchants in
New York, enquiring whether "a bounty
on exports OF sugar existed IN Italy The
department officials read in newspapers
some Of them published IN France refer
euces To the alleged italian bounty While
admitting that this character Of iuforna-
tiou could not be accepted as conclusive
by the department. Secretary Gage says
that there was no recourse under the law.
in view Of the possible importation of
Italian sugar, but to refuse liquidation

Investigated. He Is now awaiting the ar

ing 10 Italian sugar viii have to stand un-
til this copy is received and examined by

this year a considerable amount viii be
