CIbll Sugar Bounty.
Plan For the Solution Of the Problem
Of Our Commercial Relations.

Representatives Of the domestic sugar
interest believe they have discovered plan
which will eventuailt be adopted as the
most practical solutior of the commercial
relations of the United States with Cuba
for 8 time at least.
This plan, in brief, is to pay the sugar
planter direct bounty for every pound Of
sugar be raises. This bounty to be paid by
the treasury Of the United states out Of the
moneys received from import duties on
Cuban sugar.
I I The idea has been suggested to President
Roosevelt and has attracted his attention.
A detailed plan will be submitted to him
within few days in order that il it meets
his approval he can transmit the same to
congress. 1t is proposed to ask congress
to appoint commission to thoroughly in
/ vestigate the condition of the Cuban sugar
interest. This committee would comprise
representatives Of the financial and foreign
relations committees Of the House and
Senateand representatives of the cane aud
beet sugars Of the United States and would
possibly also include several Oubans compe.
tent to speak for the sugar planters Of their
island
1t is suggested that this commission could
within period OF six weeks make . thor.
ongh investigation of the subject in hand
and report in time for action to be taken by
congress that would apply to the next sugar
crop of Cuba. A bounty of one third or
one.kalf cent per pound paid directly to the
sugar planters in Cuba would, it is asserted
afford all the relief necessary for that island.
Il is estimated that the sugar crop in
Cuba this year will amount to GAG, 900 tons
A bounty Of one-half cent per pound would
amount this year to something over
81 OOO,O00. THIS is about 80 per cent, Of
the duty collected last year on Cuban sugar
alone.
The domestic sugar interests, which are
fighting the sugar refining trust, say that in
this way the Cuban sugar growers would
get the direct ::beneft Of concessions to be
made by the United States, s0hereas ii the
tariff on the import duty is reduced all Of
the benefit would 60 to the American sugar
trust. They would have this bounty dis
tributed through the fiscal agents of the gov.
ernment, who would ascertain the amour,

General Lord Kitchener took mis- place.
We all know what happened after he
assumed command-long and weari-
some warfare with the guerrillas. No
body has experienced greater relief at
the prospect of peace than Lord kitch-
ener, and ii is even reported that he has
been seen TO smile. But. anyway. he
and Lord Miner are now as anxious
for peace as the latter was for war
when he egged poor old Kruger on to
issue his fatal ultimatum. They know
that the country has gone to the dogs
and that only the prompt resettling of
IL with such sturdy pioneers as the
expatriated Beers can win ii back to
prosperity.

population of about 100000 OF which
number only 100000 were white. scat

the total fighting force did not probably

about $4,000 square miles and at the
outbreak of the war had a population

way I'm which these men were scattered
TO all the points of the compass Illus
trates the vastness of Great Britain's
colonial empire, for. besides the camps

be a foregone conclusion that all will
be repatriated, as. besides their own

themselves desire their return under

discussed OF late whether the British
can afford TO allow them to stay away

1 Tow that peace has been de
III cared and there is feeling
~ akin to good will and fore
bearance on either side. the
. question arises as 10 the disposition OF
\ the erstwhile militant Beers. There Is
4 no question as to the love borne by the
\ Beers for the country In which they
and their fathers settled and for which
they have fought so fiercely. They have
displayed their attachment 10 IL on
scores of battlefelds and proved To the
world that they would rather shed their
blood for IL than accept peaceful
home In any other land Whatever is
done with them they may blazon on
their banners i'm the future-if they
ever have any-such names suggestive
of thrilling deeds as AIafeking kimber-
ley Ladysmith Spion lSop, Modder
River and Magersfontein, and there Is
no doubt that the memory of those
deeds will live through generations.
Whatever becomes OF them, the Beers
will ever cherish I'm their hearts the
memory OF events that have shown the
world what brave people once lived
ia South Africa and fought, bled and
died there I'm vain.
But was 1t i'm vainT many people are
asking. They are apprehenslve respect
ing this prospective Homecoming OF the
exiled Beers and predict that IL viii
not be long before they will start anew
the fires OF rebellion. The danger lies
in the cherishing by the people OF the
present and coming generations OF the
memory OF those great deeds and the
Unborn, natural desire to emulate them.
But II Is doubtful II the English gov
ernment Is giving this phase OF the sub
Ject much attention. for IL has already
taken preventive measures which are
expected to be etilcacious. They have
encouraged an influx OF immigrants OF
all nationalities 10 such an extent that
the Beers will shortly be In an actual
minority. In this connection we must
not lose sight OF Englands great "Cape
TO Cairo" railroad scheme. one section
of which is already I'm operation from
the Cape 10 Bulawayo, for il is the pur-
pose of the British government 20 weld
all the sections into a united empire OF
South Africa.
Account has been taken OF the Boer
losses, representing probably at least
one-third the total population I'm Octo- /
ber. 1899. at the outbreak of the war, |
and also OF the vast area OF devastated
farm and grazing territory, the desolat-.
ed towns and the dire need OF repopu-
lating the Transvaal and Orange River i
colonies, SO there is no doubt that the /
Beers will be warmly welcomed back /
as necessary factors in the upbuilding /
of the country.
The best of the Beers are scattered \
all over the world. II Is estimated that \
there are about $4,000 i'm the various /
