Gordon, an engine expert, was lining
up five cells of battery on the wall,
using ladder in his work. In step
ping from the ladder his arm caught
one of the wires, pulling the rest
down with it, and filling his eyes with
the soda. 1t required three men TO
hold him down, the pain became SO
intense. Water was poured on his
face and eyes, which alone saved him
from losing his eyesight. His face
was badly burned.

the main aisle and confronted Mr.. Teller.

statement. THAT is not true, and / viii
not permit it to go unchallenged, declared
Mr. Lodge, and he was white TO the lips

Then L will change it. said Mr.. Teller,
'and say that there is not senator on

that the statements in that dispatch were

Mr.. Foraker again interrupted Mr.. Teller

the accuracy of the dispatch.

Teller, that the statements in the dispatch

Then the senator has no further infor-

Mr.. Foraker

RATHBONE MADE TWO REPORTS.
One Sent Here Did Not Tally with the
Other.

A dispatch from Havana yesterday saws:
During the trial of the charges growing out
OF the Cuban postal frauds, held here to-
day. inspector Gregory continued his testi-
mony. He said that according to the re-
port of Inspectors Sullivan and Leather
man, there We're only 357. .lS4 surcharged
stamps on hand May a6 IS.I9 or 35 4O4
stamps less than were credited to the ac-
count Of burned stamps, September Ii, ls.a.
Gregory said this difference was probably
'oUpo, as no record was kept Of cash sales
and as no more stamps were received dur
ing the interval from the United States
Regarding the surplus cash found by Sui
ivan and Leatherman. May 26 Gregory
testified that c. +. w Nicely was not
charged with about 5000 in various items
and that consequently there should have
been deficit instead of a surplus Greg
ory said that Estes G. Rathbone made
Two reports, one TO Gen. John r. Brooke
former governor general of Cuba and the
other to the Postmaster General June 30
1893, and that the figures in these two re-
ports did not agree.
Senor Zayas, cross-eXamining Gregory
attempted to show that il was impossible
from the records to arrive at reliable fig
ures regarding the stamps sold. Senor
LanuZa, counsel for Rathbone also tried to
nix the responsibility of the miscellaneous
accounts upon Reeves, whom, he said
should have discovered the errors and the
items paid without vouchers.

EUROpE's BEET SUGAR CROP.
Million Tons in Excess -eNOrmal Con-
sumptiOn.

Considerable anxiety is felt in Germany
as to the tariff the United States Congress
will put on Cuban sugar, according to
United States Consul Diederich at Bremen,
in report just made public by the De
partment of State. AS early as 1898, the
consul points out, Cuba produced not less
than 1,160,172 tons of sugar, which is about
one-half the amount consumed by the peo-
pie of the United States today. The
troublous times of war reduced the crop to
some PSI 900 odd tons in 1899. but it has
risen in the face of financial difficulties TO
almost treble that quantity within two
years, and at the end of another year, con-
tinues Mr.. Diederich, IL is possible that il
will again reach a million tons. With
plenty of capital and labor, and with i'm
proved machinery, says the consul, there
is every reason for the Germans to fear
that Cuba will become the largest producer
OF sugar in the world"
The consul transmits estimates Just re-
Gently published by the International Union
for Sugar Statistics as to last years beet
sugar crop in European countries. There
will apparently be an over-production Of
sugar in Europe, amounting to about a mill
lion tons in excess of the normal consump-
tion, and the stock to be carried over to
next season may. 1t is stated, reach 5O0-
600 TONS The effect of this. says the con-
sui, has naturally been unprecedentedly low
prices, and in December raw sugar was
quoted at Magdeburg exchange at lG2
cents per pound.

PRINCE TO DEPART QUIETLY.
Fireworks to BE Reserved Until His
Return From America.

A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
Prince Henry of Prussia has declined an in
vitation from the municipality of Bremen
to attend a banquet upon the eve of his
departure for the United States. The prince
has declined other invitations to festivities
proposed in his honor at Bremen, as he
thinks it better to leave quietly, and that
any rejoicings can be made after his re-
turn.
A portrait Of Prince Henry, which has
just been completed by the artist, Herr
Kunsemann, will be produced, and three or
four copies will be taken by the prince to
the United States, presumably for presents.
The Frankfurter Zeitung, again discuss
ing the attitude of Germany toward the
United States during the Spanish American
war, argues that whatever had been Ger
many's policy at the beginning of this war,
it is now one of good will. The paper says
that the visit of Prince Henry, in so far
as it has political quality, will give the
Americans an opportunity to show that
the wish of the German people for friend
ship between the two nations finds pleas
ant response in the great republic.

eide Counterfeit Question.

dispatch from San Juan, Porto Rico,
yesterday says: Gov. Hunt sent a dispatch
to the Treasury Department at Washing
ton asking that an expert be sent here to
settle the counterfeit question at Ponce,
where 5000 in alleged bogus silver was re-
Gently seized. Business there is practically
suspended. The merchants of Ponce are re-
fusing to accept any silver coins of the
dates Of 1898, 1899, 1900 and 1901 The coun-
terfeit dollars are poorly executed, but the
alleged spurious halves and quarters defy
detection. They are, apparently of the full
weight. The bankers here have examined
samples of the silver from Ponce and say
the coins are good. There are no experts
here or at Ponce. The chamber of COM
merce met this morning and resolved to ac-
cept all apparently good silver until the

from the manner in which the negotiations

lately. Officials are averse to discussing
the case freely, but ii is understood the
hesitation of the brigands in bringing the
matter to a prompt conclusion is due to
their Gistrust of the attitude assumed by
the Turkish authorities. The ransom money
demanded has not yet been paid. The
State Department will continue to exert
