A NEW ARMY RIFLE.
Powerful Weapon to Replace the
krau- Joruensen,


Washington, Jan. 20.--After several
years work the ordnance department
of the army has designed new rifle
to take the place of the improved
Krag Jorgensen now in use. 1t is said
to be a wonderful Improvement
Secretary Root has approved a recon-
mendation that 5000 rifles of this new
pattern be made as soon as possible
and distributed to the army.
The new rifle will have a velocity of
1900 feet second, and will carry an
increased power charge. The only
change in the cartridge will be the
substitution of groove in the guls
for the rim now made on the cartridge
itself. The cartridges will be carried
in clips of five each and a slight down.
ward pressure of the thumb will force
all five cartridges into the magazine
at once. The new rifle will have n
stiffened rod bayonet instead of the
sword bayonet, it being held that the
sword bayonet does not justify the
great additional weight to be carried
by the soldier.

BEET SUGAR MEN PROTEST.
Manufacturers of Beet Sugar Say
Tariff Reduction Will Ruin Their

Washington, Jan. 20.-A delegation of
beet sugar manufacturers from Michi-
gan, headed by w. L.. Churchill, preSi-
dent of the Michigan Sugar Manufac-
turers' Association, and r. f. Hatha-
way. secretary, appeared before the
president and protested against the pro-
posed reduction of the duty on CUBAN
sugar The delegation was escorted by
Representative William Alden Smith, OF
Michigan. They presented the president
with a memorial. which called his atten-
ton to the plank in the republican plat
form OF 1896 condemning the democratic
administration for not keeping falth
with the sugar growers of the country
and its redemption In the enactment OF
the Dingley law in July, 1897. The pres
ident stated to the delegation that this
country should do something for Cuba,
whereupon Mr Smith, on behalf of the
delegation, urged that the beet sugar m
dustry should not bear the brunt of this
countrys generosity. They are willing
that something should be done, but did
not want their industry destroyed. The
memorial. in part, says:
within two months after the Dingley
law went into effect the contract was let
for the first beet sugar factory in Mich
igau. This factory took off its first crop
the fall of 1898. Since that time twelve
other factories have been erected and
four more are now in process of con-
struction. The capital invested is &c.
500. oo0 In 1898 Michigan paid the sugar
trust s7OOO,0 600 for sugar consumed. In
1901 her own factories produced 125.496,-
M IL. SO yIofa cd
cent of her consumption. for which che
received $5.647, 800 Beets now under
contract for the season of 1902 will in
crease the output to 195.501, 600 pounds,
or % per cent above her consumption.
In 1901 Michigan raised 69,400 acres of
beets, yielding 76G0 tons, for which
16,S4S farmers received S3.10T,520 In the
beet fields 33,T07 persons found employ
ment during the growing season. be-
sides 2.67S factory hands during the
manufacturing period. We can not stand
any reduction of the tariff on raw sugar.
especially as such reduction will only
serve to assist the sugar trust, thereby
furnishing them with increased funds
with which to combat our industry.
Because the republican party has al
ways kept its promises Michigan has
ever remained true to that partys prin-
ciples. Today. her sons believe that the
sacred pledge given in 1886 and reaf-
firmed in 1900, a pledge upon which we
have already invested over Sl0.O0O.O0O.
will be kept inviolate. We can not be-
l.eve that the industry thus inaugural
ed will be ruined by the very political
party which gave 1t birth: that our sew
enteen busy factories will be closed
only to stand as monuments. marking
the power OF the sugar trust In its
ceaseless effort to crush competition
