CHAPTER WIN.
Caryl Visits his Home.

The bright sunlight OF the morning
did something toward dissipating the
depression that had been upon Ralph
Caryl the night before.
He hurried along the road that led
between the pond and the ocean, find
ing 1t in his heart to admire the sheen
OF the ocean-the white sails that
stood out like things beautifully alive
In the shine of the sun and sky.
=" was a bit silly last night" he
thought, lighting a cigar as he strobe
on; "bnt twas enough to give a fellow
a shock. ] shan't be easy until / have
been up home. Still, 1t is the most un-
likely thing that they will know any
thing. However, I'll play the part of o
dutiful son, and 60"
It was toward sunset on that after
noon that he was riding in a country
stage toward a village nestled among
the hills of Western Massachusetts.
Carylyille had not been intruded upon
by railroads, and the traveller was
forced to go q dozen miles by coach
before reaching the place.
AS he came nearer II seemed more
and more foolish that he should have
taken this journey,
What IL he had not seen HIS mother
and sister for two years? His domes-
tic affections were not so active as to
have Iiade him miserable at the epar-

STILL TALK
CUBAN SUGAR
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
HEAR OTHERS VIEWS.
WANT A REDUCTION OF DUTY
Claimed That Reduction of Present
Duty Would Save Cuba From
Bankruptcy and Distress
Favor Reciprocity.
(By Associated Press.l }

Washington, Jan. 16.--cuban reci-
procity was again under consideration
today by the ways and means commit
tee with large representations of Gu
bans and of the various sugar and to-
bacco interests In attendance.
Evan Thompson, ex-president of the
New York produce exchange, presented
the Views OF that organization. He said
that last year 5000, 900 of American food
products went to Cuba, about IS per cent
Of the business being done by members
of the produce exchange. Continuing he
said:
Should the United States refuse to
grant reduction of duty on the imports
of the two great staples of Cuba, sugar
and tobacco, we believe the result will
be ruin to the planter bankruptcy to
the merchant and great distress 10 the
laboring classes of Cuba followed by
serious industrial disturbances and dis
order"
This, he said, would result in corre-
spending injury to our trade and will
materially reduce our exports. This
committee urges such reduction In the
duties now levied on sugar and tobacco
as will avert this impending disaster
and thereby safeguard the interests we
represent"
The business men present gave their
opinion that quotations on sugar were
accurate and fairly impartial. Mr. Nc
Clellan remarked in this connection that
there was an evident purpose in some
quarters of prejudicng the cause of
Cuban reciprocity by creating a public
impression that the trust was behind It,
whereas all the witnesses thus far had
shown that the Cuban cause stood on its
own merits.
Charles Rabidan and C. p. Armstrong
of the produce exchange also spoke in
favor Of reciprocity.
Representative Robertson Of Louisiana
asked series OF questions tending to
show that the Cuban people had not
spoken for reciprocity and that the
movement was directed by the sugar
people,"
Mr. Armstrong answered that the in
terests of all the Cuban people were
bound up with sugar production, and
must stand or fall with it,
Mr. Robertson also sought to show that
American capitalists were buying large
sugar tracts in Cuba, and would be ben
Gifted by reciprocity more than the Cuban
people.

BESSEMER STEEL PIG is BEING
PURCHASED ABROAD.
WILL SHIP IN LARGE LOTS
Sheet Steel, Wire and Tube Mills Com
PEELED to Seek Foreign Steel in
Order to Complete Contracts
Already Entered Into.
(By Associated Press }

Cleveland, Jan. 16.--The Iron Trade Re-
view this week will say
Sales of 125.000 tons OF bessemer pig
iron for delivery, largely In the present
quarter of the year, Is the feature OF the
week. The bulk of this iron was taken
by the United States Steel corporation
at Sl5.75 at valley furnaces or sl6.50
Pittsburg.
Other steel makers were also I'm the
market paying in some instances. si6 at
the furnace and and on smaller lots as
high as s16.s5 has been paid.
The United States Steel corporation
took all the iron offered by the associated
bessomer furnaces for the second quarter
and other purchases were made from
outside interests.
The situation In respect to this metal
Is thus very firm with every indication
of higher prices. Cutting off production
due to the coke shortage has compelled
importotions and these are expected to
increase In the next few months.
A large amount of German bessemer
iron has been sold for this country and
among recent sales in England was one
of 70o0 tons OF west coast bessemer for
delivery In the United States
Import German Steel.
The recent round sale of German
Spiegeleisen for export to the United
states Indicates that our steel makers
nave not been able to supply their wants
from such OF their furnaces as ordinarily
run In Spiegel.
The export movement IN pig iron ls ap-
parent In the November statistics of the
treasury department, which reported
1858 tons brought in In that month
against 1881 tons I'm November. 1900
The Importation of steel Is also expect
ed to grow steadily In the coming
months Independent sheet, wire and
tube mills will be compelled to seek
foreign steel In view of the announced
Inability OF the steel corporation plants
0 furnish steel In the next six months
except to customers having long time
contracts.
II Is understood tnat the small irlpor-
fation of German steel for central west
efn plants few weeks ago, viii be fol-
lowed by the bringing In of large lots
from the same source, apart from the
sales Of bessemer iron noted above.
The important development OF the week
Is the improved movement Of coke to
the furnaces
