CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Dr. Wiley Before the Ways and
 Means Committee.

washington, Jan. 2s.--Dr. II. w. Wiley. Chief of the Bureau-of Chemistry, De- partment of Agriculture. was De1ore tie Ways. and Means Committee today m connection with the Cuban reciprocity question. His statement covered the scientific phrases of the production or su- gar from beets, cane. etc.. and the oe- velopments of the respective industries. By means of charts he showed the com parative insignificance of the beet sugar industry in 1855 when most of the sugar was made from cane. Since then condi- tions have reversed, until now the great CT part of the sugar production Is from beets. Much the larger part of this pro duction was in Europe, the product fin America being comparatively small. pr. Wiley expressed the opinion, however, that the beet sugar would never extin, guish the cane product, as the latter hao

New York. Jan. 29.-Capt. James A.. Baker again occupied the witness chair at the trial of lawyer Albert T. Patrick for the murder of William Marsh Rice, almost the entire two sessions of court | being taken up with his cross examina- tion.
 The Captain admitted that he had ex- pressed no opinion as to the 0enuineness of the signatures of various papers bear- ing Rices name and which he now calls forgeries until he had obtained the opin- ion of handwriting experts. He further more admitted that Patrick before his arrest. had told him he desired a full investigation of his relations with the aged millionaire.
 The witness. too. declined to swear positively that Patrick was not present at Rices apartments when the old man was at one time making dispositions rela- tive to litigation he was involved in.

Dalmouth, Eng. Jan. 29.-Mr. Mar conf, on board the American line steamer Philadelphia from New York, January 22, for Southampton. communicated Wlth the Lizard by means of the wireless teie- graph at 11:i5 a. m. today from point one hundred miles to the westward.

DR.KUYPER'S PROPOSAL
PLANS FOR PEACE IN THE
 TRANSVAAL.
Suggests That Dutch Commission Be Sent to South Africa to 1n- :
 form Burghers of Real Conditions.

London, Jan. 30.-The Hague. correspon- dent of The Daily Mail says he IS able to announce on authority that the Dutch note to Great Britain, after rehearsirs the earnest concern of that government at the prolongation of hostilities in South Africa. offered it's good offices in bringing 1t to a close. .+
 To this end, Holland asked whether Great Britain would be willing to per init a Dutch commission to proceed to South Africa to enlighten the Boers in the field of the real condition Of affairs and tell them that there is not the slightest chance of intervening on the part of any European power and that the prolongation of hostilities is useless as the brave struggle can serve no further good purpose.
 The correspondent says the Dutch Cow ernment expressly announces in this note that it possesses no authorization what soever from Boer leaders, either in Europe or South Africa, to take this sug- gested step, but that 1t appeals tp Great Britain On the ground of common humani- ty for military permission for the Dutch commission to accomplish it's mission of peace. Such permission would bind neither the British Government to the discussion of terms of s4he- initiation -uf any negotiations. nor pledge the Dutch Government for the success of its self imposed task.
 It is understood that Great Britain is awaiting the receipt of Lord Kitchener's views on this suggestion and is willing to grant the requested safe conduct to the Dutch commission if Lord Kitchener offers no objections. though it is not hope full of any practical result from the eff fort.
 The truth appears to be that Dr. Kuy- per, the Dutch Premier, despairing be- cause of the negative attitude of Dr, Leyds. the European representative of the Transvaal, and his party who main- tained that their credentials only per- mitted negotiations on the basis of the retention of the. Boer independence, de- cided to appeal to the fighting burghers. This explains the wish of the Boer dele gates in Europe to dissassociate them

Real Reciprocity.

Editor Morning News: Those OBJ
servers, who have studied events at
home and abroad. realize more and
more a need for the cultivation of
friendly relations with nations called
foreign, but who are really a part of
ourselves.
Railways and steamships have
brought us into close relation with the
most distant sections, we read of events
transpiring in far distant lands, and
which become near by reason of the
cable message which outstrips time,
and brings us close together. 1t is
all right with England. Leaving out
the natural animosity of the Irish we
are in accord with much that the Brit
ish people practice, and if not agreed,
we criticise in friendly spirit There
is no unfriendly. exclusive, tariff leg
islation to stir up strife; we trade to-
gether freely and under natural con-
ditions.
No nation has done more for civili-
zation in her methods of colonization
than has Great Britain: true there has
been cruel overbearing methods, but
the good exceeds the evil.
Even in Irish politics there has been
concession and progress; the extreme
men of both sides no longer hold the
balance of power, conservative legis-
lation is the rule.
With Germany it is different, but
there is earnest desire that here too
there may come a real reciprocity, and
this being mutual feeling is certain
to prevail. The visit of Prince Henry
viii give opportunity to the people of
the United States to show this friendly
feeling toward a natural ally.
Gen. Miles is credited with saying in
reply to a question by a Southerner,
Are you the man that put shackles
on Jefferson Davis?" Yes, but l was
very young then" This, if true, may
be accepted as an "olive branch" and
there is evidently on the part of South
ern people, a disposition to recognize
the manly conduct of the general in
his long career since the stormy period
of reconstruction.
Many who hope for the coming of all
good in the future are asking: when
will the Boer war close ?" when will
the Filipinos be pacihed. and made
loyal citizens or subjects?" when
will Miss Stone be released?" "When
will the Carnegie free library be open
el to the Atlanta public?"
All of these desirable consumations
have no fixed date.
The Democratic caucus has issued an
address defining the attitude of the
party toward the war in the Philip
pines; it is a conservative, reasonable
statement, and will find favor with
many Republicans who are heartily
tired of the hopeless, aimless slaughter
i'm the far east. it is time the light
was turned on, and the people should
know the truth which hitherto has
'been withheld. Those who complain of
the conduct of the war in South Afri-
ca might find food for thought i'm read
ing the true history of our own for
eign mission.
1t is a hopeful sign when there
comes a note of protest over the re-
enactment of the Chinese exclusion
bill;" IL seems unfair when aimed at
one people, and these the most indus
trious workers in the world: IL is pos

HAS MADE NO THREATS.
Tax Collector Didn't Say He'd Pre-
sent Taxpayers.

Tax Collector Thomson was con-
siderably disturbed by a statement
yesterday that he intended to present
to the grand jury the names of those
doing business in the county of a kind
subject to the payment of specific
tax, who had failed to register with
the ordinary and pay the taxes in ac-
cordance with law.
Mr.. Thomson said he had never
authorized such statement and that
he had never indicated in any way he
had any intention of presenting the
names of these persons to the grand
jury for the non-payment of specific
taxes.
What 1 did say said Mr. Thorn
son, was that those who engaged in
a business on which the law imposed
a specific tax without the payment of
this tax rendered themselves liable to
indictment by the grand jury, and up
on conviction by a competent tribunal
to the payment of fine or double the
amount of the tax. / never said that
/ intended to take the initiative against
them, nor have / any such intentions. 8"
One sensation that was to have come
before the grand jury at it's session
this afternoon falls to the ground and
it does not seem likely that there will
be any others to take it's place. There
are about six or seven cases for the
grand jury to investigate and none of
these is of character particularly in
teresting or important. In all of them
the defendants have never achieved
any large reputation as criminals.

Neal-MiIlard Company Given Ver-
diet for Part of Claim.
The case of the Neal-Millard Com
pany, against l.. d. Jones and w. NJ.
Davidson, which has been on trial in
the Superior Court for the past two
days, was concluded yesterday evening

than half the amount claimed.
The suit was for the foreclosure Of
a material mans lien, against certain
property of Mr.. Davidson, situated at
the southeast corner of Abercorn and
Jones street. There was no dispute as
to the liability of Jones, the principal
defendant. for the full amount of the
claim, $S7505 The plaintiff claimed IL
had recorded its lien against the props
erty for the amount of the materials
with which ii had supplied Jones, who
was the contractor. and that it should
have verdict against Davidson also
for the full amount.
The verdict of the jury, which was
returned in practical accordance with
the charge of Judge Barrow. was for
SSI5. 05. with interest from Oct. IL, 1899,
against Jones. and for $500. .46. with in
terest from the same date, against
