KIRKPATRICK IN WASHINGTON.
The Judge Is Looking After Things in the
Impeachment Line.
rFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

rFRoM TRIBUNE BUREAU
Washington, Nov. S.-The demand made by
James W. n. Newlin, a lawyer. of Philadelphia,
United States District Judge for New-Jersey,
has made Judge Kirkpatrick visit Washington
for the purpose of bringing 10 bear powerful in
huences to block any possible movement toward
his impeachment by the House of Representa-
tives Judge Kirkpatrick also intends TO ex-
plain to the President his alleged maladmns-
tration of justice and personal connection with
the Asphalt Trust.
Mr. Newin in a letter to the President
charged that Judge kirkpatrick had brought
the administration of justice into contempt
through being the active president Of a New
Jersey trust company" and declared that the
Judge was Il public menace" and that he should
be removed. both for his own punishment and
as a warning to others who were inclined to
similar practices. This letter also suggested that
the President investigate the case and communi-
cate the result to Congress, so that the House
might present articles of impeachment against
Judge Kirkpatrick.
MIR Newlin's letter was promptly referred to
the Department of Justice, and the department
on Friday, as announced in The Tribune, in
formed Mr. Newlin that. under the Constitution
the mower of impeachment was vested solely in
the House Of Representatives. and the President
could not properly interfere with its prerogative.
II is understood that the President has no OBJ
lection TO hearing Judge Kirkpatrick in his own
defence, bat will inform him, in accordance with
the decision Of the Department of Justice, that
he cannot act officially on matters pertaining to
Impeachment proceedings.

NO OBJECTION TO TREATY
Senators ThinE Contention Uith
Panama Will Go Through.
[FRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU


Washington, Nov S-That there will be no OBJ
lection on the part Of the Republicans in Con-
gress to the Interpretation put on the Srooner
amendment by the State Department and the
negotiation Of a treaty with the new Republic of
Panama is the view entertained by consider
able number of prominent Senators now here.
That it will require new appropriation by Con-
gress to carry out the provisions of the Spooner
amendment is, however, the almost universal
opinion In this correction ii is pointed out
that the President has full power to negotiate
any treaty he deems best and send 1t to the Sen
ate, but it is added that the accomplishment OF
a treaty with any power in control of the 18th
mus of Panama would be regarded as carrying
out the intent of the SpoOner act
If the present anticipation of the administra-
ton, that the Panama revolution can be accom-
plished and a new government set up without
bloodshed, is realized, the Senate will probably
ratify the new treaty, though not without
strenuous opposition from the Democrats, who
think THAI they see in recent occurrences a de-
velopment likely TO reflect much credit on the
Roosevelt adnlinistra ton.

BUNAU.vARILLA'S CITIZENSHIP.
Nay Lose French Rights by Accepting
Panama Appointment.

Paris Nov. S.-While satisfaction is expressed
here over the appointment of VI. Philippe Bu-
nau-Varilla as diplomatic agent Of the Repub-
lie Of Panama at Washington, attention is called
to the fact that it is probably unprecedented for
q French citizen to be selected to represent a
foreign government without first consulting the
government to which the appointee owes his al
legiance or without that government being
asked whether, in case of his accepting the
agency he would not thereby forfeit his French
nationality.
The "Gauois' suggests that N. Bunau-Va-
riIa might obtain from the French government
sl.ecial permission to act for the Republic of
Panama Such permission has occasionally been
granted to Frenchmen serving temporarily in
foreign armies.

HAWAIIAN SUGAR CROP.
Greatly Increased by Reciprocity
agreement.
TFRoM TIE TRIBUNE BUREAU

WASHINGTON. Nov. s.-The cement TO the
Cuban sugar industry which may be expected from
the Cuban treaty may be accurately gauged from the
results Of reciprocity with Hawaii. where the crop
of 1893 will aggregate S40000.Go pounds as against
an average Of 100000 rounds for the decade pre-
ceding the reciprocity agreement. When it Is re-
fected that the Cuban convention affords the
United States marked tariff diferentials on every
important commodity which this country exports,
the reflex advantage TO American industry becomes
obvious.
According to the latest figures Of the Bureau OF
Statistics, sugar production in the Hawaiian Islands
has developed much rapidly in the last thirty
years than in any other producing part OF the
world. The production in Java ON 432SZO,VJJ
pounds 1873 900 pounds IN 1905 CuUd
has increased its production from l136V0VO pounds
grown from 100000 pounds in 1913 TO SlOUUVv IN
1908. Thus Java's production is now less than nve
times that of 1873 that of Cuba has increased less
than % per cent, while that OF E1aMan IS ABOUT
thirty-fiVe times great in 1873. Meantime, the
cane sugar production OF the world has grown from
l,tS5vJJ tons in 1855 TO 4SVUO tons IN 1910 having
about trebled in that period. The beet sugar pro-
duction of the world has grown from 12lU,Vt0 tons
in 1873 $4,000 1903, being about four and
one-half times as much in 1903 as in 1873.
tlawaifs share IN supplying the sugar consump-
tuu of the United States has increased rapidly
DAT sugar imported from Hawaii formed about Ia
peg cent OF the total mport ton, while in the fiscal
year 1900 Hawaii supplied about IL per cent Of the
total brought into continental United states.
Prior 60 the establishment of the reciprocity
treaty OF 1876 the production of Hawaii aver
aged about 25CO9;0JO pounds year. Within two
years following the reciprocity treaty the produce
ton had uoubled by another two years IL had quad
rupled. BY the end Of the first decade under rec-
growth during the entire period has continued at a
rapid rate The rapidly of growth IN sugar produc-
ton ia Hawaii during the period under consldera-
ton is shown by the following figures Of production

It will be seen that the increase in the decade
from 1873 TO 1883 was nearly l0gtCoO pounds from
1883 1885, about go 100000 pounds, and from 1873 to
1903 about 500 100000 pounds. The Development OF
sugar production in the first decade was IN bringing
under cultivation lands capable OF producing
without irrigation; in the second decade irrigation
applied the least difficult regions; In the
third decade the development of irrigation and
application Of high grade modern machinery 10 pro-
duction greatly developed The irrigation system
now applied in Hawaii Is of great Importance and
has brought under cultivation large areas which
were absolutely ValUeless for sugar production
without the application OF water by artificial meth
DDS. More than One-half of the sugar or hawaii is
now produced from irrigated lands.
IN this development OF Hawaiian sugar production
American capital and American energy have been
the chief factors. statement recently received
from a high authority in Hawaii by the Bureau of
Statistics Indicates that about N0O0O0O0 of capital
from the United States has been invested in
Hawaii since the reciprocity treaty Of 1876. large
part of this having been 50 invested since anneXa
ton, in 1898. THIS development since annexation
In the increased investments In capital from
the United States and its application to irrigation
in it's highest formE has resulted IN an increase Of
than so per cent in the sugar production Of the
islands

from the newspapers of his state for
his first three vetoes. Two related TO
municipal Indebtedness and one to
special privileges asked by the Fitch

against the scheme of piling up big
debts for public works on the reason
ing that future generations will re-
ceive in large measure the benefit of
these works and therefore ought to
stand a part of the burden for their
construction. Pay as you go is pretty

DR.. Loeb Says Science Will Explain
Life Phenomena.

DR.. Jacques Loeb, head of the new
department of physiology in the Uni
versity of California, delivered his
first lecture there on Saturday. His
subject was rs a complete scientific
explanation of life phenomena pos
sible?" DR.. Loeb explained that he
did not now hold the secret of arti-
fetal life, but he was satisfied that a
scientific explanation of life phenome-
ma would be developed in the future,
as, reasoning from available premises
resulting from scientific research, the
problem was not beyond the posi-
bility of solution in the domain of
chemistry and physics. The logic of
science must rest on the assumption
that life phenomenon had been ex-
planned completely as soon as it was
possible to control it unequivocally by
physical or chemical means, or to re-
peat it in all detail on inanimate ma
terial.
1--WE cannot admit" said the profes-
sor, that there is any obstacle to our
complete control and, in consequence,
our knowledge of life phenomena.
Everyone, | believe, who recognizes
the control of life phenomena to be
the great problem of scientific investi-
cation will come to the same conclu-
sion"
