day the Senate disposed for this session OF the
Statehood question which has been pending for
several days Mr. Beverage, of Indiana. chair

Grafton of the measure
An agreement on the Statehood bill was
reached to-day between the divergent interests
in the Senate Committee Territories. In the
meeting that resulted in this agreement the tact
developed that the principal reason for opposing
Senator Quay's motion 10 consider the state
hood bill now was the desire TO prevent the bill
from going on the calendar in unamended form.
Some of the Repuplfca members of the COM
mittee are inclined to favor the admission OF
of the Territories, but not all three
of them, and they therefore desire to amend the
measure in committee This they will have an
opportunity attempt.
Senator Bate said that the Democrats &C
cepted the programme only because it had be
apparent that action could not be secured

side of the Senate solid in its support or

REDUCED SOWING OF SUGAR BEETs

American Consul at Bremen reports to the State
Department that statistics have just been pub
lshed in Europe concerning the quantity of sugar
beets planted this year. There is a decrease in
acreage in Germany. Austria, France. Belgium and
Holland, and a slight gain in Russia. The average
shortage in this years sowings is given at about
II per cent which is less than had been generally
expected. Mr.. Diederch says: 1T is reasonable
to believe that the yield will Improve year by
wear through careful and scientific farming. and
therefore may look forward to another large
CROP this year. But even If there should be only
a fair average, the II per cent decrease in sowings
would bring about such a diminution in the
elutted market, especially If the United States
and the cane growing countries should increase
their production. In other words. ii is to be
peced that the visible supply of sugar in the world
on August 81 (the end OF the European season.
