that year eight above zero.
The severity OF the cold ls intensified
by the fact that the people ere not pre-
pared for 1t, cold wave having des-
cended upon the country suddenly and
without warning. Then, too. the

ing among the poorer classes. Every

PROPOSED GAMES GIVEN UP,
Wisconsin Team Will Only Play as

CHICAGO, Dec. "a special to the
Tribune from Madison. Wis. says;
The athletic council of Wisconsin uni
versity has decided that the proposed
trip of the football team to the Faciic
coast should be given up. The faculty
members of the board were opposed to
playing any other games than those
at first scheduled with the University
of California and Leyland Stanford.
The reasons for not allowing the
team to make the trip given by the
members of the faculty were that the
games with the Utah and Paris In
dian team would not help Wisconsin's
reputation in the west, especially after
the team had been out Of training for
two weeks.

EFFECT Oh REMOVING
TEA IMPORT DUTIES
Consumption of Article Not
Increased by the Tax.
Prediction to That Effect Disproved by
Statistics Greater Use Of Coffee
During the Same Period.

Considerable interest is felt as 10 the
effect which the removal OF the tea import
duties will have upon the consumption OF
that article in the United States The
import figures covering the period since
the imposition Of an import duty upon tea
lJune Is, 1899 do not seem to Justify the
assertion frequently made some years
since that a small tax would increase the
consumption Of tea by insuring better
qualities
The average annual importation OF tea
since the enactment Of the law which
placed a duty upon tea has been but about
100000 pounds while the average during
the preceding years was about 90 600 OCO
pounds per annum. The total importation
of tea in the three fiscal years following
June 30, 1898. was 24S,54 45s pounds; and
70 the three fiscal years Immediately pre-
csding that date was 27S .303 262 pounds
Deducting the amount re-exported. the
net imports stand For the three years
following June 30. 1898. 240 $40. 547 pounds;
Tor the three years Immediately preced-
ing June 30, 1888. 273,g45. O91 pounds This
gives an average importation fer con
sumption during those two periods OF
over one and a quarter pounds per capita
per annum in the three-year period prior
10 June 30, 1898, and but a little over
one pound per capita per annum in the
three-year period following that date.
This reduction in the importation Of tea
since the imposition Of the customs duty
upon that article has been accomplished
by corresponding increase in the impor-
tatiOn OF coffee. In the three years fol-
loving June 30. 1SsS. the total impcrta-
ton Of coffee was 2414, GsO.Z48 pounds.
against 2.lsS, .O40 pounds IN the three
years Immediately preceding that date:
and the per capita imports for consump-
,ion for the latter three years averaged
lJ4 pounds per annum, compared with
80 pounds Tor the three years prior TO
June 30. 1895 IL IS proper 10 add. how
ever. that during the three years si.sce
lssb prices Of coffee have been much
lower than those OF the Immediately pre-
ceding period. the average import price
per pound. as shown by the figures Of the
treasury Bureau Of Statistics since the
fiscal year 1888 having averaged 81 cents
per pound, against an average Of II cents
Tor the three years Immediately preceding
]sssi while in the case Of tea the imgort
price per pound exclusive Of course Of
uuties. shows but slight fluctuations.
