AMBASSADOR TO ROME.
Hfwh Diplomatic Post TO BE Given 10
Henry white, One of McIxin-
iey's Proteges.

In compliance with the wish Of the
late William Mckinley, Henry White,
the present secretary Of the United
States embassy at London, will be
made ambassador to Rome. The late
President Mckinley intended thus to
reward Mr.. White for his efficient
services as secretary Of the London
legation, but found no opportunity
during his incumbency to do SO.
Henry White bears the distinction
of being one Of the most accom-
plished diplomats in the foreign serv-
ice Of the government. He is con-
sidered an invaluable assistant TO
the United States ambassador in

alike, and "a tower of strength to

the community, and of breaking up

tween Germany and the United
States, and to- extend these relations
to the fleets of both nations. 1t is
this which induces the kaiser to part
with Prince Adalbert, probably his
best beloved son, who bids fair to be
a gentleman as well as a gallant
sailor.
Prince Adalbert is physically fine
type of young fellow with an open,
frank bearing, perfect manners and
thorough knowledge of idiomatic
English. He will devote much time
to the study of American naval mat
tiers while in North Atlantic ports.
1t is the kaiser's most earnest wish
that constant communication should
be opened up with the British and
American squadrons in the North
Atlantic, and with this object In
view the German North Atlantic
squadron will not only visit numer-
Gus stations in North America, but
will also visit the Bahamas, Ber-
mudas and the greater Antilles.
In this way the kaiser hopes to
make a beginning in carrying out his
favorite idea that the three German
&c nations of the world--Germany,
Great Britain and the United States
shall form a strong and united
front in the van of the worlds prog
ress. 1t was this idea which found
eloquent expression in the letter he
wrote to Mrs. Kipling when her hus-
band was i'll in America

KAIsER's LATEST MOVE.
VIII strengthen North Atlantic
squadron and send His SON to
Go with His Fleet.

The kaiser intends to strengthen
the squadron of German war vessels
stationed in the North Atlantic.
Two large cruisers and three gun
boats win be devoted to this pur-
pose, and the whole win be placed
under the command Of distin-
guished admiral Prince Adalbert,
the kaiser's third son, will be at
tached to the squadron, and probably
placed in command Of one Of the
gunboats.
The object Of this move is openly
to strengthen the good relations be-

London. In fact, despite the adage
that there is always a man ready to
fill any place that is vacated, there
is a tradition in London that the
American embassy could not exist
without its efficient secretary, Henry
White.
To his friends he is familiarly
known as Harry" White. He is a
recognized authority in Europe upon
all matters diplomatic and American.
1t is said that he knows personally
greater number of Americans than
any other man in the diplomatic serv-
ice. Tens of thousands of transat-
lantic travellers have availed them
selves of the courtesies of "the af-
fable secretary of the American en-
bassy at London"
Mr.. White has frequently been left
in absolute control of the embassy
as charge d'affaires. He is about AZ
years old. His diplomatic service has
been extensive. He was secretary
of legation at Vienna for short
time in 1853, and was then trans
ferred to London as second secre-
tary. He was promoted to first Sec
rotary of the embassy in 1886. He
has held that position ever since, ex-
cepting during the Cleveland admin
istration--1Sg3 to 1897.
Mr.. White is wealthy He has a
charming wife, and lives in London
at an expense double the amount of
the salary the United States pays
him as secretary of the legation.

CHEAPER SUGAR
A POSSIBILITY
TRUST STORING BIG STOCK FOR A
FIGHT.
AGAINST BEET CROWD
Combine Especially Active Just Now
in the Southwest Where Beet Com
petition is Most Menacing, but
Spreading of the Contest Is Prob
able.

Sugar may be cheaper,--but unhap-
/ PLY the canning season is not here.
Indications, point to a renewal of the
bitter fight begun last year between
the American Sugar Refining company
and the beet sugar factories for the
trade of the middle west. The trust is
sending sugar west at low rate and
storing it so as to be in a better posi-
ton to underbid the beet sugar manu-
facturers.
At present the trust is especially ac-
tive in the southwest in what is known
as the Missouri river territory. Ne
braska, Colorado and California bee,
factories have been making a bid for
this trade. Last year .-e fight became
so fierce that the trust cut the price
$3.50 per hundred in order to force the
beet sugar men to fill their contracts
with the wholesalers at a loss. The
announcement that the trust has ship
ped 200 cars via the gulf and Calves
ton to the Missouri river at a low
through rate shows that it is making
early preparations for the summer cam
paign. Shipping by water and rail
and storing at western points is a new
departure.
The trust began it's campaign against
beet sugar in both the northwest ano
southwest two years ago by asking the
wholesalers to use their influence in
keeping the beet sugar factories out of
the refining business. The proposition
was made to have the beet concerns
manufacture only raw sugar. 1t was
pointed out that if the trust CONTROL I'd
the refined output, the sugar market
would be demoralized and the whole
salers would make sure although a
small profii instead of being forced 20
do business at loss as might be the
case should the beet product become
an important factor and demoralize
, the market. The beet men of the mid
die west declined to quit refining.
Last year when the fight on the Mis-
souri, river was begun the northwest
was included to some extent 1t is be-
lieved by men well informed on sugar
traffic that the trust will adopt the
same tactics in the northwest that it is
using in the southwest. Instead of
shipping all rail it may seek cheaper
route and store a large quantity in the
northwest to meet successfully the oeet
products competition in the fall
months. Although beet sugar cuts but
small figure in northwest consump-
ton the trust is anxious to hold it
down and at the same time head OF
any new factories.
Beet sugar men say that they have
proof that the trust does not control
a single beet sugar factory in the Unit
ed States in spite of reports to the con-
trary. Trust representatives bought
a minority interest in one factory II,

FREMoNT's WIDOW.
Wisconsin Man Makes a Call Upon
Her.

wisconsin NAN Makes Call Upon
Her.
While at Los Angeles during the
winter, says the Wisconsin Censor,
General e. NJ. Rogers paid a visit
to and had an interview with one of
the distinguished women of the age,
the widow of John C. Fremont, first
republican candidate for president
of the United States, in 1856, a daugh-
ter OF the great Missouri United
States Senator Benton, who still re-
sides there at the advanced age of
SO years. General Rogers says Mrs.
Fremont is vigorous parsonage in
mind although a confirmed invalid
physically by reason of fall. He
reports a most interesting converse
ton with Mrs Fremont
Los Angeles was for a time before
the occupation by the United States
and during General Fremont's COVER
norship, the capital of California.
The arrival of General Kearney, with
later orders from Washington, to as
sumo command resulted in a conflict
of authority. When General FIRE.
mont was removed from the Office OF
governor and deprived of his rank
he returned under protest with Gen
eral Kearney to the Missouri river
where he was ordered to Washington
under arrest, court-martialed for trea-
son and sentenced to De dismissed.
Clemency was recommended by the
court and he was afterwards re-
stored to his former rank through the
influence of his fatherin-law Senator
Benton, who for thirteen days in the
United States senate poured out walls
of wrath against General Kearley, the
like never before known in senatorial
proceedings. General Kearney soon
died. which saved him from Bentons
further displeasure. General Fremont
resigned his commission and returned
to California at the head of scien-
tific expedition. Afterwards he be-
came the first and an unsuccessful
republican candidate for president,
losing California but carrying the
electoral vote of Wisconsin.
Mrs. Fremont, the widow of the
pathfinder, resides quietly in Los
Angeles, unforgotten only by those
who call to mind the campaign of
, 1856, and the prominence of her name
as the prospective first lady of the
land and the daughter of the great
senator from Missouri.
