the Cuban reciprocity hearings were re-
sumed today before the ways and means
committee, with delegations representing
the beet sugar industry of Colorado and a
number of Cubans representing the plant
ers of the island in attendance
r. X. Carey of Colorado spoke of the de-
Veiopment Of the beet sugar industry of
Colorado and its bright prospects if not en-
dangered by Cuban concessions which, he
asserted, would rebound to the great ad-
vantage of the American Sugar Refining
Company. The present movement, he said,
was only another chapter in the inevitable
conflict between the domestic sugar pro-
ducers of this country and the refining
company, the latter seeking to crush the
former.
bubble which had been pricked, he
said, was that Cuba was suffering from
starvation. This idea had been Industrious

Department from Consul Donaldson, at

Secretary Root today acted on the case
OF First Lieut.. Preston Brown of the I'd
Infantry, who was sentenced by a court
martial 10 be dismissed the service. for
an alleged serious violation of the regula-
tions- The incident in which Lieutenant
Brown was involved occurred in tie Phil
ippines in the fall of 1890, and has at
tracted more than usual attention in riili-
tary circles because OF the social prom:-
nence o. the officer ard the powerful liz
huences brought to bear in his behalf
Although the circumstances of the case
are not altogether thoroughly established
u appears from the evidence that Lieut.
Brown shot a native Filipino because he
aIo"ed an american soldier to drown
"hen he might have saved his life. The
soldier was attempting to ford stream
ana the native who was Killed stood by
ana saw him drown without making an
enort 20 save him. The alleged Indifference
or tie man was reported to Lieut. Brown

Grew his revolver and shot the native to
death
Secretary Root takes the ground that
1Ae.t. Browns action in the matter while
net JIstitiabIe. was excusable under the
circumstances. and he has therefore recon-
menced that the sentence OF dismissal pe
committed so as TO provide that Lieut..
Brown shall lose thirty-five numbers in his

muuicatiOu to the British,

LONDON, January 2S.-The government
leader, A. ]. Balfour, announced in the
house of commons today that no overtures
for peace had been received from any one
authorized to speak in behalf of the Beers
A communication was, however, received
late Saturday last from the Dutch govern
ment, which was now under consideration
Mr.. Balfour hoped shortly to lay the COM
munication and the reply to it before the
house.
Holland Offers to Mediate.
The government of Holland has offered in
the most friendly terms to help in bringing
about peace in South Africa In a COM
munication to the British government, the
Dutch government suggests that it might
be permitted to act as sort of diplomatic
agent for the Boer delegates. The govern
ment, however. expressly disavows any at
tempt at Intervention and does not mention
any terms
1t was learned by representative of the
Associated Press that the British govern
ment infers that it would not have been
approached unless the Dutch authorities
were convinced that the Boer delegates
now in Europe were willing to accept the
cardinal points of the British peace terms.

order to ascertain the extent of the powers
delegated to Mr.. Kruger and the other Boer
repre- esentatives in Europe to act in behalf
of the burghers in the field.
Doubts Mt the Foreign 0fie.
Great doubt is expressed at the foreign
office here as to whether any negotiations
carried on by the Boer delegates through
the Dutch government Or other channels
will prove effectual. If Satisfactory guar
antees in this respect can be secured ne
gotiations will be begun immediately. This
doubt in regard to the authority of Mr..
Kruger and others to speak for the fight

Are those the conditions you found in

ed Mr. Moore.
ITO a degree, yes"
On redirect examination the witness said
there We're certain conditions in the lobe OF

member had looked after Rice's affairs for
about forty years. The witness represented
Mr. Rice, while Patrick was representing

Patrick had told the witness of meeting
Mr.. Rice in Texas several years before, but
witness had never heard OF Patrick meeting
Rice within a year OF the latter's death.
Patrick had never informed witness that
he represented MIR. Rice or that he was in
terested with Mr.. Rice in any way.

Captain Baker said he saw Patrick in
Rices apartments four days after Rice's
death. David L. Short was with him. They
had a conversation OF about twenty min
utes.
Patrick" the witness continued, said
he felt that an explanation was due to me
and he was glad to make 1t. / told him i
should be glad to hear it. He referred to
the litigation and to our meeting in 1899.
After l went back to Texas he said he
made up his mind that we ccu.- effect a
settlement if he could meet Mr.. Rice.
told him Mr. Rice was very bitter against
all who had taken part in the litigation.
and that he was especially aggrieved at the
executor Holt, and at Patrick for the scam
dalous questions the latter had asked the

THE KAISER'S GIFT.
The President Cannot Accept without
Congressional Authorization.

In the present opinion of the officials here
President Roosevelt cannot accept any
present from either Emperor William or
Prince Henry. An examination of the
precedents Is said to disclose the fact that
while in many instances the President ap-
parently received presents from abroad, he
has never retained these except by express
authority conferred by Congress. In the
other cases where the gifts have not been
returned to the donor, the presents have
been deposited by the President in the De-
partment of State or in the Smithsonian In
stitution, and a large number of medals
and articles of value may be seen in the
library Of the State Department, the gifts

The War Department Not Disposed to
Take Action.

The War Department is not disposed to
take any action respecting General Whea-
toms alleged utterances, Winch We're
quoted in the Senate yesterday. This is be-
cause the officials, after studying the Ma
Mia dispatch, in which General Wheaton
was quoted, are satisfied that the debate in
the Senate proceeded upon entire misap-
prehension of what General Wheaton was
reported to have said. 1t is found that
General Wheaton did not criticise the
United States Senate or it's committees,
and the misapprehenson on that score
arose from a general statement in this dis
patch attributing such criticisms to other
persons than General Wheaton. The gen
eral did comment upon President Schur-
mans speech, but as the collegian is not
now a member of the UNI ed States govern
ment, in any branch. 1t is held that the case
is not like that of General Miles, who was
reprlmanded for criticislng governmental
