sugar manufacturers from Michigan have
appeared before the president and pro
tested against the proposed reduction Of
the duty on Cuban sugar. The delegation
was escorted by Representative William
Alden Smith of Michigan. They present

calls his attention to the plank in the re-
publican platform of 1896 condemning the
democratic administration for not keeping
faith with the sugar interests of the coun-
try and its redemption in the enactment
of the Dingley law in July, 1897.
The president stated to the delegation
that this country should do something for
Cuba, whereupon Mr.. Smith. on behalf
of the delegation, urged that the beet
sugar industry should not bear the bruns
of this country's generosity. They were
willing that something should be done.
but did not want their industry destroyed.

travel with United States Ambassador
White at the dinner given recently
by Baron Won Richthofen, the Ger
man minister of foreign affairs. to
Prince and Princess Henry, the Amer
lean ambassador and Mrs. White, John
b. Jackson, secretary of the embassy
and a number of distinguished per-
sons, said he was especially pleased
with President Roosevelt's selection
OF Admiral Robley d. Evans to re-
ceive him, as there was an old sailors
friendship between them.
English was the only language en-
ployed at this dinner, at which, be-
sides the guests already mentioned,
all the principal personages who will
accompany Prince Henry to the
United States were present. The
prince told Mr. White that he would
call upon him some afternoon this
week, have cup of tea and continue
their talk about his trip to America.
Prince Henry, who is considerably
taller than Emperor William, will be
surrounded on his trip to the United
States by very large and tall men.
Admirable Won Tirpitz, the German
secretary, who will accompany the
prince, gives the impression of be-
ing more than six feet tall, while
General Won Plesson, a member of the
emperor's military household, is equal
ly tall Vice Admiral Won Seckendorff,
who will also be with the party, is
six feet two inches tall and very
large of frame.
Emperor Williams silver treasures,
from which there have been selected
nearly 1000 of the choicest pieces for
use at Prince Henrys banquet on
board the Hohenzollern at New York,
compose one of the richest collections
of silver possessed by any sovereign
of Europe, and is valued at upwards
of 100000 marks. 1t embraces EN-
peror Williams wedding gift, present

report to congress the first of the

The report goes fully into the steps
which must be taken in order to in
sure a perfect title to the United
States, for, in addition to the present
Panama Canal company, the old or
ganizatiOn and the Colombian govern
ment must be reckoned with. The re-
port finds, however, that the new
company can give a clear title. 1t is
stated that when the commission
made its recent report favoring the
Nicaraguan route no offer to sell to
this government had been made by the
Panama company. The offer of $40,-
100000 made in behalf of the company
by NJ. Lampre, it is said, changed the
situation completely.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreets report on trade last
week says:
The usual January "thaw" in prices
arrived this week. and securities, food
products, particularly the cereals, pork
and dairy products, coffee and sugar,
among the groceries, and copper among
the metals, have all weakened and
closed lower on the week. In distribu-
tive trade the situation has certainly
improved. A larger spring business has
been done in cotton and wooden goods.
Advices from the west are of an en-
larged spring jobbing business and col
lections remain satisfactory. North
west advices are particularly good,
agricultural implements and dry goods
being ordered and shipped In large vol
ume. Trade in the southwest continues
satisfactory, but the lack of needed
moisture for the winter wheat crop is
a disturbing element, tending to dull
the edge of trade. 1t is to be noted also
that rain is needed in the wheat grow
ing sections of California. More is do
ing in leading eastern textile markets,
prints and ginghams moving well with
jobbers, while good business is also
reported in wool goods, though the new
prices made are rather lower than eX-
pected. There is even some improve
ment noted in southern trade. largely
the result of the firmer tone of raw
cotton.
Among the industries iron and steel
are easily first in the volume of new
/ o1+
the car shortage is shown to have ma
terially reduced the December output
OF pig iron. Sales of the latter this
week have been very heavy, fully 160,-
600 tons having been taken, most of IL
at Pittsburg and the bulk of it for de-
| livery in the latter part of the year.
Prompt deliveries command a premium
and the same is true of steel billets.
Conservatism in the matter of advanc-
ing pig iron prices is still noted. Cop
per has been "cut to the bone" this
week, and II cents is the nominal price,
but claims are made as low as 10 IL
cents, without any particular improve
ment in demand reported, although ex-
ports are large.
The boot and shoe industry looks for
ward confidently to an active spring
business.
Business failures in the United
States for the week number 941,

A certain lady dreamed frequently
of a certain house until it had become
exceedingly familiar to her; she knew
all its rooms. Its furniture; 1t was as
well known to her as that in which she
lived her waking life. and, like good
wife who has no secrets from her hus-
band, she often talked over all the de-
tails with him-a very pleasant fancy.
One day they-husband and wife-went
into the country to view house that
they thought of taking for the summer
months. They had not seen 1t, but the
account In the house agents list had
attracted them. When they arrived
before 1t they gave simultaneous ex-
clamation of surprise Why" said
the husband, ''it is your dream house?'
1t was. The coincidence attracted
them. They took the house.
In the course of their occupancy they
learned that the house had the reputa-
tion of being haunted; that several peo-
pie before them had taken It for short
terms, but had seen-or fancied they
had seen" something" and had left
before their term of tenancy expired.
Had these new tenants not brought
their own old servants with them, 1t Is
likely that they would have had some
difficulty in whipping up a domestic
staff, so uncanny was the reputation
Of their apparently reputable house.
The new tenants dwelt in the
house with all satisfaction and peace
through the summer months until their
term of tenancy came to an end. On
leaving, husband and wife expressed
their satisfaction to the local agent.
