LESS BELTS SOWN.

Representative Morris of Minnesota
has introduced in the House a bill
increasing tne duty on raw sugar from
l.Gs5 cents TO 1874 cents a pound
which would decrease the diffcrential
on refined sugar from 0.2G5 to O.156
cent a pound.
The bill authorizes the President 10
hold up SO l.3 per cent OF the tariff col
lected on Cuban sugar under the act
and to pay the same pro rata to Gu
ban planters, according to the amount
OF sugar raised by each planter, under
such regulations as he may prescribe
Representative Morris believes that
by increasing the tariff to all the
world and then giving a concession to
Cuba the Government will not lose any
revenue, the American sugar produc
ers will be protected, and the Cubans
will he benefited.
Mr.. Morris bill will probably be fol
lowed by others, proposing to remedy
the situation, and at the same time ia
avoid giving the concessions requested
without doing something for the beet
sugar people,-Washington Times.

HOW Do MARCONl'S
SIGNALS COME ?

How did Marconi's signals come
across from Cornwall to the Newfound.
land shores? There Is a curving hill
Of water and earth crust 40 miles high
IN between. Did the electric waves go
over the hill, or through 1t or how?
That is the puzzle the electrical world
Is bothering over at the moment. Some
German experiments seem to indicate
that the waves are absorbed by water
as they are by metals. Professor
Fleming of London, who has done an
elaborate work on the scientific side of
the subject, puts the matter u littl5
differently. His results would make
water Opaque to these electrical waves,
as II Is, in large quantity to light,
Either way, II seems as If the signals
didn't come straight through. They
went round the hill. In this case they
must somehow have followed the curry
ing earth. But how? The accepted
idea Is that the vibrations Marconi
uses are just long. invisible light
waves. And light goes straight. Prof.
Fleming thinks the waves might bend;

like water. This would form a shell
round the earth, in which the signals
might travel anywhere. Would they
go clear round? And If they did, would
they stop when they got back to
where they started, or keep going
round and round? Evidently, until
they had been absorbed by substances
like the metals. But what becomes OF
the waves then? DO they set up a
current of ordinary electricity? II
that be true, then they could transmit
power There was a Kansas professor
named Blake who had this idea, some
years ago. He was quite sure the falls
OF the Nile could be made to run Lou
don, and Niagara to turn Corn-grinders
and run moving machines out on his
native plains. This matter Of long
distance transmission Is the great
electrical problem of today, and 1t may
be the Hertz waves will bring the solu.
ton. II they should, coal mines could
shut up shop. Here Is a wide field,
and inasmuch as about every nation in
Europe has been ahead of us in per.

chance to even up.-Harper's Weekly

THE LEGISLATIVE ELks.

Representatives Thomas of North
Carolina and Kern OF Illinois are COM
piling list of the Elks in the House,
with the view of ascertaining how
many will participate in the Legisla-
tive Elks' dinner which will be given
some time during the session in the
banquet hall of the New Willard. The
proposition for dinner to be given
by the Elks in the House was made
some weeks ago by Representatives
Robertson, Dovener, Pierce, Norton,
and Broussard, and since then the
movement has taken shape, with the
result that Messrs. Thomas and Kern
are gathering the necessary data to
make everything complete.
Mr.. Thomas says it will be the most
notable gathering of Elks ever assem-.
Dled, for there will be present at the
dinner Elks of national note from ev.
cry State and Territory in the Union.
Speaker Henderson, who Is one of the
leading Elks in the State OF Iowa, 1t is
understood, will preside. Representa-.
tive Thomas says the IGlks in the Sen.
ate will also be invited to attend the
dinner. 1t Is roughly estimated that
there are something like $50 Elks in
Congress. The dinner is already an
assured Observation-Disclosures Times.

st. Louis, Feb. Established
presidents of the United states Army
were overthrow and the freedom OF
nearly 200 men now confined In Fed
eral penitCntiaries was assured by a
decision rendered by the United states
Circuit Court of Appeals today in the
case of Peter c. Deming former cap
tain of United States Volunteers,
against Robert McClaughey warden
of the Federal penitentiary at Fort
LeavenwOrth. Deming was imprison-
ed on the sentence Of a court-martial
composed of nine regular officers. con-
vened by General W. II. Shafter on
March 20, 1900. The opinion Of the
Circuit Court, witten by Judge Walter
n. Sanborn, Is that the court-martial
which sentenced Deming acted In
violation of article II of the Articles
of War, which provides that officers
Of the regular Army shall not be COM
petent to sit on courts-martial for tho
trial of officers and soldiers Of other
forces.
The essential question, as stated in
Judge Sanborn's opinion, Is whether
the volunteer Army Is the same as the
regular Army, or whether ii is one OF
the other forces" mentioned in arti'
Gle II. The opinion establishes the
fact that the volunteer Army is at all
times distinct from the regular Army.
/ Deming will be released from tht
Fort Leavenworth penltentiary within
sixty days. and all other former mem
/ bers of the volunteer army who ar,
confined in Federal prisons on sen

such cases at 200.
Deming was a captain in the Subsist

act Of 1899. providing for the enlist
ment of soldiers for the Philippin
war. The charge against him relate
to his accounts. The court-martia
dismissed Deming from the service
and sentenced him to three years II
the penitentiary. This sentence wa
affirmed by the Secretary of War an
approved by the President.
The case was first brought in tn
United States Circuit Court for tn
: District Of Kansas, and was decide
against Deming. who then appealed {

steadily toward the singular form

COMPROMISE SUGAR LAW

Mr. LIGHT OF Madgeburg, in his re.
port of January 18th made to Willett
& Gray on European beet sowing says
Since in view of the low price Of sugar
only cOrrespondingly low prices can
be paid for beets, II is mostly thought
that a restriction of the beet cultiva-
ton Is sure to take place, the amount
of which 1t is not yet possible to cal.
culate. So, for instance, a number of
Sileslan factories made an agreement,
to be enforced by a penalty. not to
pay any more than $50 per cwt. This,
of course, will lower the cost of the
sugar production. By others 1t has
been proposed the Federal govern.
ment should bring out an emergency
law, reducing next years contingent
by 20 per cent. In any case, the con
viction seems to prevail among the
sugar lubricants, that a considerable
reduction of the beet cultivation has
become necessary. Similar are the
reports from Austria, France, Rouma-
MIA and Spain, partly also from Russia,
while in the other European countries
there Is still more or less uncertainty.
That in commercial circles, for the
present, not much weight is attached
to serious restriction of the Euro.

OF cane districts a further extension
of the cane cultivation is spoken OF
may, above all, be gathered from the
wholly unprecedented state of the
market, and energetic measures will
have to be taken by the sugar indus.
try II they intend to cause a change
In this. We may also refer to the
accounts from the colonies, which
lurtly complain seriously of the pres
ent prices being rulnous to the sugar
production.
