RECIPROCITY HEARING
Cuban Sugar Question Aired Before
House Committee.

House COMMITTEES.
Washington, Jan. 15.-The ways and
means committee began hearings to-day
on the subject of Cuban reciprocity The
Cuban industries were represented by
Messrs. Place, Mendos Dumois and
Francke chosen by commercial organiza-
lions in the island. The American inter-
ests engaged in sugar production in Cuba
were represented by Edwin F. Atkins,
Hugh Kelly of New York and John F.
Craig of Philadelphia. William Haywood
was present in behalf of the Hawaiian
sugar planters and Henry T. Oxnard for
the democratic beat sugar interests The
tobacco and other interests affected by
Cuban production also were we'll repre-
scented. Eaz ~, ,sa...-
Edwin F. Atkins Of Boston made the
opening statement in behalf Of reciprocity.
He said that a so per cent reduction OF
duties was desired on the various large
products of the island, but in response
to Inquiries from Mr.. Payne he said that
the sugar industry felt it should have 100
per cent reduction. Mr.. Atkins stated
that the opposition to Cuban reciprocity
came from several sources, namely, the
domestic !; beet sugar industry, the
Hawaiian planters and the sugar inter-
ests Of Porto Rico and Louisiana, aggre-
eating 100000 tons production. A very
large per centage Of the Cuban sugar in
dustry was effected by that owned by citi-
zens Of the United States. Reciprocity
would be Of material advantage to the
United States, including "a reduction In
the price of sugar to the people, III

Rev c. A. Salquist, one of the speak

the spring of 1898, he went to China in
the following fall. His field Of labor was
about 1900 miles from Shanghai up the
great Yang-tsi river In 1895 very ex-
tensive riots occurred in the province of
SiChuan. and Mr.. Salquist. together with
other missionaries, was obliged to travel
to Shanghai to escape the Infatuated mobs.
In 1893 a rebellion broke out in the west
which had for its object the determination
OF foreigners and native Christians, and
for three or four months the city where
; Mr.. SalQuist lived was practically sur
rounded. Thanks to the VIGOROUS meas
ures adopted by the Chinese officials, the
danger was finally averted Quiet reigned
till in 1900. when the Boxer troubles be-

with the river at its highest and with
Mrs. Salquist too sick even to sit up, Mr..
Salquist made q trip of 800 miles before
reaching steam navigation on his way to
Shanghai. Fortunately the Yang-tsi val
