THAT SUGAR DUTY.
Trust Magnate Havemeyer Tells
Some Facts About it.

''If the people of the United States"
says Mr.. Havemeyer, consent to the
continuance of burden of $40 ton
on imported sugar, I suppose that one
of these days the beet-sugar industry
will furnish the United States with all
the sugar it requires-provided, how
ever, that Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines are not annexed, or their
products imported free of duty. Those
countries could easily within the next
three years supply the United States
with all the sugar it requires, irrespective
of the supply from the Hawaiian is
lands and Louisiana

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. 12.-Charles Nj.
Best, coach of the Purdue football team
during the season just closed, probably
will be re-engaged for next year. and should
he be offered the position it is practically
certain he will accept. A special meeting
of the executive board of the Purdue Ath-
letic Association was held last night, and
the subject of a football coach was dis
cussed at length. Applications were read
from two Eastern football men, but before
their records are known their names will
not be made public. Coach Bests work
was then discussed, and majority of those
present were inclined to the belief that
Best's efforts the past season were success
full enough to warrant his Encouragement
for next season. Manager Grant stated to
the board that Coach Best had not yet
made any plans for next year, but that he
had received offers from two Western col
leges. Best has not made application 1or
a Encouragement at Purdue. but he has told
friends that he would coach no other team
After a discussion the board decided TO

The question of choosing a baSebau coach

TIDAL WAVE PREDICTED.
An Alarmist Says the Ocean Will Roll
Over Land Saturday Night.

BRISTOL, Tenn, Dec. 12.-Anonymous
prediction has been received here, bound in
pamphlet style, that, if given general pub
lcity. would cause much apprehension as
to the future of this section of the coun-
try. This prediction is based upon scien-
tific and historical data and observations.
and appears 10 be the work of some sage
of science. But the point of most concern
is what this prediction is and what ii may
signify. 1t is predicted in this pamphlet as
a matter of clear scientific and historical
deductions that on Saturday night, the 18th
inst, at the midnight hour, a considerable
portion of this country and southwestern
Europe is to be submerged by the waters
of the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of
Mexico. The portion of this country to be
submerged, according TO the prediction, is
all the territory south of direct line from
the southwestern corner of the State of
Connecticut to FL Paso, Tex
The prediction cites facts of history and
principles of science to show that this
great calamity is due at exactly midnight,
New York time on Saturday of this week
The principal reason that such dis
aster may be expected, says the predic-
ton, is that since Sept. s, 1900. the planets
the prediction says: ION the 18th of De-
cember, 1902, at midnight, full conjunction
of planets, sun and full moon will take
place in opposition to the earth, and a
change of position in the waters will result.
The extent OF the submergent that will be
caused thereby it is possible only to ap
proximate by carefully considering the rec
ords found in nature"
The pamphlet is being suppressed in
Bristol because of the intense excitement
and alarm which its publication would nat
urally give. There is considerable excite
ment in this section.

RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA.
State Department. Notified of the Sign
ing of the Protocol

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-"Treaty signed
H:15 last night" was the message which
came to the State Department to-day from
General Bliss at Havana, confirming the
press report of the conclusion of a reci-
procity arrangement between the United
States and Cuba. The officials here are
puzzled to know just what has been signed;
they thought that protocol or protocols
had been prepared, but General Blisss
message carried the inference that he has
actually concluded definitive reciprocity
treaty. If he has done so the President
will accept it and forward it to the Senate
for it's action and the offices of Minister
Quesada here will not be required to give
effect to the convention. The State De-
public the details of the arrangements: i'm
fact some of these will not be known until
the Havana mail reaches here, for General
Bliss undoubtedly has made some changes
in the duties on American imports into
Cuba originally proposed.
HAVANA, Dec. PA definite treaty of
the United States was signed at IL o'clock
last night by General Bliss and Secretaries
Zaldo and Monies. 1t only lacks the sig
natures of Secretary Hay and Senior Que
sada and the approval of the United States
and Cuban Senates to make it operative
The treaty provides for a uniform reduc-
ton of 20 per cent. from the present tariff
charges on Cuban products entering the
United States.

Mr.. Baer said that recently there had been
expressions of desire in certain parts or
the country the part of certain persons
to undertake the power of regulating the
affairs of Pennsylvania. But l am glad TO
say" he continued, their efforts will be
in vain. There is a constitutional limita-
ton which, if ii is not respected by the
masses. will be protected. There is
tribunal, the great, true, unbiased tribunal,
the Supreme Court of the United States,
which will protect the citizens and the
State of Pennsylvania in their sovereignty
during the cry for the seizure of lands
within the State. That great tribunal will
protect the citizens of Pennsylvania under
the protection guaranteed in the Constitu-
ton. There will be no day in which the
Constitution will be amended by men who
do not understand the fundamental prin-
ciples of free government.
