Beet Sugar B0unties
And the Cuban Tariff


mains to be seen how much the aboli.
tion of the bounty will reduce produc.
ton. The worlds total average de.
mand is not likely to be reduced; and
the question to be determined is
whether, with a fair field and no fay.
ors the tropical cane or the sugar
beet is to have the advantage in fur
nishing the supply.
Growth Of American Demand.
The consumption of sugar in the
United States has doubled in the last
twenty years, and we have been max
ing from our own Western beet fields
and Southern cane fields about one.
tenth Of the amount we use. The
worlds total production has reached
perhaps S,50O,OOO tons per year OF
which about two.thirds is beet sugar.
As recently as 1870 the proportions
were the other way,--two.thirds being
cane-sugar-and the total product Of
the world being placed by Mr. Mulhall
at 2,750,O00 tons. or less than one.third
OF the present production. The growth
of the demand in the United States is
so considerable that even If we should
continue to import as much sugar as
our total consumption in 1890, there
would be sufficient margin in the
growth Of our market to give the dom.
este producer a vast opportunity.
American consumption alone will,
within two or three years, probably
surpass the worlds total production
and consumption in 1870.
The Two Sugar Trusts.
II seems the inevitable trend Of in.
dustry in this country that the pro
duction OF such commodities as sugar
at least in the final marketable form,
should come under the control of i'm,
mcnse corporations or trusts. the
manufacturers of bcet-sugar have
been tending toward this kind Of con.
contration under the control of a great
company with which the name of Hen.
ny T. OXnard is most prominently iden.
titled. just as the refining and market.
ing of cane.sugar had earlier become
largely concentrated in the hands OF
the so.callcd Sugar Trust" with
which the name OF Mr.. Havemeycr has
been so conspicuous. Owing to tho
location of most OF the reflneries Of
the older trust on or near the ports o
the Atlantic seaboard, II would appeal
to be to its interest to favor the II ain
tcnance of firm duties on refined SUI
gar, while encouraging comparatively
low rates of duty on the crude product
from Cuba and the other cane.prCduc
ing countries. Tnus the beet.sugal
combination has been steadily charg
ing that the movement for concessions
To Cuba was, whether Intentionally OF
not, In the direct interest of the rein
ing trust, at whose mercy the Cubar
planters must be in any case; so thai
to reduce the tarin on Cuban sugal
would merely operate to give large
, profits to the American refnors.

utive session of the senate yesterday
an effort was made to secure the con-
firmation of Miguel A. Otero as gov
ernor of New Mexico. but on one OBJ
lection from Senator Morgan action
was postponed. Mr.. Morgan criticised
the committee on territories, saying
that full opportunity had not been
given for hearing of the charges
against Governor Otero. and he plead
ed for re-committal of the nomination
to that committee. 1t was urged on
behalf of the committee that there was
no new testimony concerning the
charges, and that full and ample
hearing had been given. and there was
no occasion for re-opening of the
case.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.
Exclusion Bill Heard by the Committee
on immigration.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The senate
committee on immigration gave a
hearing today on the question of Chi
nese immigration. Samuel Gompers
outlined the efforts of the Federation
of Labor in connection with the Pa
cific coast delegation in congress to
perfect bill which would secure the
continuance of Chinese exclusion. This
had been accomplished in the Mitchell
Ill.
John Ford spoke in opposition to the
bill, and presented statistics of the
trade between China and the United
States. He urged postponement of
any action by congress looking to Chi.
nese exclusion until the expiration OF
the present treaty in 1904.
Charles Hamlin presented resolu
tiohs of the Boston chamber of com
merce advocating the Proctor bill, con
tinuing in force the present Chinese
exclusion law until the expiration OF
the existing treaty with China in 1904
and urged that no bill should be adopt
ed inconsistent with that treaty.

Willie McElvaine, one of The Citi-

cident this morning at the Central
school building, and as a result he will
be confined to his home for several
days. He was in the yard north of the
building when the school bell rang and
suddenly turned to go in the school
room, when he stumbled over some OBJ
struction and fell down the stairway
leading to the basement, landing on
the stone steps about eight feet be-
low There he was found by the jani-
tor a few minutes later in a semi-con-
scious condition and was removed TO
his home at 725 South Broadway. Ex-
animation revealed that several teeth
had been knocked out, his lips and
face badly cut, and painful bruises sus-
tanned on other parts of the body. DR..

BACK FROM WASHINGTON
Col. Harris Believes Statehood viii
Come This Year.
HE WAS IN A WRECK.

Col. A. w. Harris, the Sierra county
mine operator and promoter. who was
back east on a visit to his old New
England home and who stopped over
long enough at Washington to say a
for New Mexico, returned to the city
last night and will remain here a few
days before proceeding south to Sierra
county.
The colonel was on the No. passen-
ger train, wrecked early Monday morn
ing near Coolidge. Kan, in a head-on
collision with No. 6. 1t was during a
binding snow storm, the worst snow
blizzard the colonel has seen for years,
and he says that, on account of the
blizzard, the collision was absolutely
unavoidable. Four cars of the No 6
train were destroyed by fire. Only one
person, the express messenger, was
seriously hurt. The colonel's head re-
ceived a pretty hard bump, but when
he got into New Mexico and COM
menced breathing the pure mountain
atmosphere the soreness in his head,
caused by the bump. soon disappeared.
Regarding statehood, Colonel Harris
is very sanguine, and it is his firm be-
lief that statehood will be obtained
during this year. Delegate Rodey is
working very hard in the right direc-
ton, and the senators and representa-
tives are now fully aware of the fact
that he is sincere in his advocacy of
statehood for New Mexico

UNITED MINE WORKERS.
Discussions Delay the Proceedings of
the Labor Leaders.


Indianapolis, Jan. 21.-Charges made
against President Mitchell, Secretary
Wilson and the executive board of the
United Mine Workers of America was
the first order of business before the
convention this afternoon. President
Mitchell, addressing the convention,
said:
THE election of officers was to have
been the first thing on the program
today, but | have to say with deep feel
ing and regret that charges have been
made by Miss Miller Meredith, ex-em-
ploye of the national office, affecting
myself as president of the national
body, against your national secretary,
Mr.. Wilson, and also against the ma
tional executive board. The time has
come for the election of officers, and |
am unwilling to have this proceed un-
til these charges have been heard"
Miss Meredith read her statement.
1t concerned the shortage of ex-Secre-
tary-Treasurer Pearce and alleged that
President Mitchell and Secretary
Treasurer Wilson did not give out all
the facts concerning Pearce's actions
and "wilfully lied" TO the miners COM
mittee a year ago.
At the conclusion of the statement
Secretary Wilson denied the
truth of the statement and said that
it was the outgrowth of spite. Miss
Meredith, he said, was recently let out
as assistant secretary. President
Mitchell made it known that he wished
to reply to the charges.

TIJERAS GRANT.
$4,000 Acres of Fine Timber Land
Open for Settlement.

The commissioner of the general
land Office made an important decision
last week when he declared a large
tract of land lying between the Tijeras
and Chilli grants open for settlement.
In 1885 when Henry Carpenter and
few others made application for the
Tijeras community grant they asked
for 10000 acres.
When the land court looked into
the matter they found that the orig
inal grant decree only called for the
valley of the canyon in width and
ranging from the mouth near where
Judge TTimble's ranch house now
stands on the west and about two
miles from the town of Tijeras on the
east. survey was made and the
grant was approved for 2000 acres.
During this time there were living
on this land some twenty five or thirty
Mexican farmers, with well improved
farms, who could not get titles to the
land they had lived on for almost a
generation.
About the middle of December 1901,
parties cognizant of the situation OF
these farmers made application
through Surveyor General Vance for
the opening for settlement of this
tract of land, which consists of about
$4,000 acres the application was
granted and last week, after having
been delayed only about three weeks,
the order came declaring the land
open and clearing the last of the many
complications which shrouded the Tt
ieTas land grant case
