I Washington, Jan 9-The beet sugar
convention yesterday broke up in row.
Mr. Oxnard has kept his pledge that the
association of beet sugar manufacturers
should withdraw their opposition to Gu
ban reciprocity, but in SO doing he has
busted the association. He has been
repudiated by the representatives Of six
teen beet sugar factories and Sustained
by representatives Of twenty-five facto-
ries. The final course Of the majority
faction has not yet been definitely deter
mined. - -. @.'r. t.
Eight men, representing the forty-one
beet sugar factories of the United States,
were to meet here yesterday and decide
whether the opposition to the Cuban reci-
procity treaty should be withdrawn. Three
of these men held a meeting in the COM
mittee room Of Senator Burrows. 1t was
declared that Mr.. OXnard did not repre-
sent the sentiment OF the Michigan beet
sugar manufacturers in agreeing to with
draw objection to the treaty. They de-
cided not to participate in the annual
meeting.
Michigan is thus still in OPPOSITION to
Cuban reciprocity and anxious to reject
the treaty, which must be acted on by
Jan. 81. when the convention lapses. With
the time so short. even minority oppo-
sition in the senate. might be fatal. This
lends interest to the position to be taken
by Senators Burrows and Alger, who have
not yet announced what they will do.
The opponents Of Cuban reciprocity
are busy to-day accusing Mr.. Oxnard OF
selling out to the sugar trust. The Michi-
gan delegation in congress thinks this
but it is apparent that. whether Oxnaro
has sold out or not, the effect Of yester-
days action by the beet sugar manufac-
turers will probably be an early ratifica-
ton Of the Cuban treaty. If Senator Tel
Ter were here, prepared to make an ear
nest fight, he might possibly prevent the
ratification but Mr.. Teller has troubles
of his own just now in Colorado, and may
not be here during the remainder Of the
present session. There is nobody else here
who has the ability even, If he had the
inclination, to organize a successful fghi
against it. That is the prevailing opinion

a VIRTUAL RECALL
Won Holleben's Leave Of Absence
From Washington.

Berlin, Jan. 9.-Ambassador Won Holle-s
3ben's leave Of absence from Washington
Is pretty generally received here as being
his virtual recall, due, it is said to the dis
satisfaction OF the government with his
management OF the Venezuelan affair.
This is asserted without reserve in i'm
portant newspapers and no official denials
have yet been Forthcoming. It seems that
the government feels it was misled or at
ton embassy respecting President Roose-
velt's attitude when he was requested to
iarbitrate the Venezuelan dispute.
The opinion also IS that DIR. Won Hole
ben's dispatches regarding the policy of
the United States In the Venezuelan bust
ness and its general foreign policy have
been neither adequate nor precise.

ENGLISH VS.. AMERICAN RAILROADS.

Il London, Jan. 9--Philip Burtt. general traffic
manager of the. North eastern railroad speaking
tive to his recent Investigations of American
railroad methods, expressed general admiration
of them and said he was OF the opinion that
British railroad men could learn much from
America. At the same time. he added, the best
American minds would find much to admire and
learn In English railroad management. Mr..
Burtt said that the intense keenness and en-
thusiasm of all Americans in their every day,
work had left lasting impression upon him
He thought that while America held the rec
ord for speed the average English express runs
would be found higher than the American. Mr.

ing, Washington.
Washington, Jan. 9.-The members Of
the Minnesota delegation are beginning
to bring pressure on the house judiciary
committee for an early report Of the bill.
which has already passed the Senate, pro-
viding for an additional federal judge in
Minnesota. The subcommittee which
has the bill in charge is understood to
be friendly and it is believed the bill will
be reported within the next ten days.
The interest of the delegation in the mat
ter is prompted by its desire that Judge
Morris secure the appointment.
Later the judiciary committee. at g.
meeting to-day, decided, after represent
tations had been made it by several menu
bers of the Minnesota delegation, to res
port the judgeship bill forthwith. There
was no proposition. An effort will now be
made to have the speaker agre to let til
come up for vote before the adjourn
ment Of the session. This, however, will
depend to some extent on the candidacy
and the bill might be moved to die IL 1t
was thought Morris was not to be ap-
pointed.

Colombia Needs the Money.
Colo mia needs money very badly and

for using every opportunity to recoup its
