PHoENIX, ARIZONA. APRIL 20. 1902.

Piaued by the policy of the adminis- tration and the house leaders in in
 sisting upon a reduction THE of 20 per cent in the SUGAR duty on Cuban sugar, PANIC. thirty-two "beet sugar"
 republicans joined with the democrats in the house Of repre- sentatives Friday, and carried an amendment to the Cuban reciprocity bill providing for a repeal of the differ ential duty on refined sugar. The action of the house will doubtless be reversed by the senate and defeated, finally, in conference, but the extreme attitude taken by the insurgent republicans gave emphasis to the already patent fact that the beet sugar people have been in a senseless panic. Had there not been so much discussion of the question in congress and the news papers, the beet sugar producers never would have had reason to know there had been any legislation on the sub ject, so far as concerns the practical effect on their business.
 MT. Oxnard, the champion of the beet forces, has stated repeatedly that the industry could stand a p per cent reduction in the Cuban sugar duty without being injured, and very prob ably he could have truthfully fixed the line of safety at 90 per cent. There never was a more forceful illustra ton 0f aff tion the public mind. Influenced and alarmed by the beet sugar lobby, the beet growers throughout the coun- try were thrown into a panic, and con- gressmen from the beet growing states were so vigorously bombarded that nearly two score republican members were terrorized into aligning them selves against the administrat tion and against justice for Cuba as well as the true business interests of this coun- try. Not only here in the far west, but throughout the beet growing regions the financial effect of the smalll reduc- tion carried by the reciprocity measure will be as nothing. II rerkains b be seen whether, as Chairman Payne stated, the removal of the differential on refined sugar would be greatly harm full.
 In reality, it is the Cuban people who have occasion to complain. The 20 per cent reduction will be a help, of course, but it is the testimony of Gov ernor General Wood and all other un- prejudiced students of the situatio that in order to place Cuba on a sound financial footing the reduction should have been at least 8 1-3 per cent.
 Pending the action of the senate on the amendment repeating the refined differential, there will be much specula- tion as to it's possible effect on the sugar business of the country. In this connection the latest figures furnished by the treasury department concerning the consumption of the product are in- teresting. It appears that the sugar consumption of the United States has

Fixing the Damages.

The officers detailed to investigate the
amount ofdamage done to Geary's saloon
at Rosslyn as q result of the disorders OF
the troops from Fort Myer several weeks
ago, made a report yesterday in which
they placed the damage at 5000, 1t was
stated at the time of the riot that the
saloon and fixtures were worth 81, 600,
and that all had been destroyed. The
officers took an inventory of the stock
and fixtures and could not make out the
damage to be greater than 5000. Some
of the soldiers who are alleged to have
been implicated in the affair are confined
in the guardhouse at Fort Myer, but the
officers who have been conducting the
investigation state that they will have
difficulty in fixing the guilt on any O.

Jackson City Doomed.

According to the belief OF many
people, Jackson City has ceased 10 be a
resort of gamblers As suggested III
Yesterdays Gazette there is but the re-
hottest likelihood that the gambling
houses destroyed by fire Monday night
will ever be reconstructed. 1t IS said
that those who formerly conducted them
are prospecting on the Conduit Road,
ON the other side Of the Potomac. Sen
sational developments are expected
within twenty-four hours in regard to
the burning of the four gambling houses
in jackson City. All day yesterday the
Virginia authorities were engaged in in
vestigating the matter and arrests, it is
thought, will follow in few days.
Mystery. however, does not surround
the identity of the person who was, 1t Is
alleged. responsible for the destruction
of the four buildings. The person tn-
der suspicion, has, it is said, informed
various persons in Washington that it
was he who did the deed. The culprit,
it is alleged, was interested IN the con-
Germ. and has made no attempt to con-
ceal his part in firing the buildings.
The damage to the property by fire Is
estimated at about $4,000, none of 1t
covered by insurance. Yesterday Charles
Sanderson and Frank Foster, two OF the
parties whose places of business were
entirely destroyed by Monday nights
fire. were in Washington and held sew
eral conferences with their attorney.
What action will be taken is not known,
although it is said that the person who
fired tho building has made threats
against both Sanders and Foster. The
affair has created considerable attention
among the sporting element of Alexan-
dria and Washington andserious trouble
is anticipated. Those who are interest
ed in the gambling houses are much
exercised over the work Of last Monday
night. and the outcome Of the matter Is
awaited with interest. Nothing has yet
been heard from the Pennsylvania
Railroad regarding the fire. 1t Is
thought that the officials of the road will
prosecute the guilty party or parties be-
cause of the narrow escape from destruc-
ton of the railway signal tower, which
is located at the south end of the Long
Bridge. Had such thing occurred this
section ofthe road would have been badly

DrscoyTENT IN THE TRANsvAAL.

Discomfort IN THE TRANsvAAL.-
A dispatch from Pretoria says that the
settlement of the annexed territories is
not being accomplished without consid-
cradle friction. This is especially notice
able in the bitter hatred and persecution
on the part of the Beers who stayed in
the field to the end of the war against
the former, National Scouts Beers
who served as British scouts. 1t is said
that some of the former scouts have been
shot or beaten. So intense is the feel
ing t at many of the burghers who
fought consistently to the end distinguish
themselves from those who surrendered
while the war was in progress by veal
ing Il green badge. The Transvaal and
Free State cOlors are also freely worn,
and the custom is encouraged by the
Dutch who did not take an active part
in the war. Many of the burghers dc
clare they were induced to agree to sur
render by the false representations CT
their leaders, who painted the terms 100
rosily. Dscordant elements are nu-
merous, and any attemptto put the bur
ghers who surrendered during the war IN
authority over those who fought through
out will perhaps result in renewal OF
hostilities, The majority of the Beers
have apparently in NJ way abandoned
their nationality, and some OF them
preach the ACCESSIBILITY of opening Dutch
schools SO as to keep this alive. The
whole situation so bristles with difficult
ties that there are not lacking those who
doubt if the document signed May 81
was really the final settlement OF the
South African trouble.

HAwAIIANs' FEAR OF SNAKES. The
people of Hawaii have an aversion for
snakes. The order issued yesterday pro-
hibiting the landing Of any reptiles from
transports was due to the alarm felt IN
Hawaii that their introduction from
Manila would soon result in the islands
being overrun. The islands have just
the climate for the propagation OF rep
tiles, and the local authorities believed
they would soon spread over the islands
if their importation from the Philippines
were not stopped. 1t is explained at
the War Department that snakes are
taken to Hawaii by soldiers, who
brought them away as pets, and often
presented them to residents of Honolulu.
In the future no soldier will be allowed
to land with snake, and if there are
reptiles of any sort on board ship the
officers will see that they do not escape
to the shores of Hawaii.
