Secretary Moody Calls on Congress
 for Money.

TUT 14OACys
 Washington, Dec. 23.-By reason of the greater rapidity with which the new ships for the navy are being advanced to completion, Secretary Moody has trans mitted to Congress an urgent request for an appropriation for 2,000,000 for armor and armament to be made without delay.
 The last appropriation made for armor and armament was based on the amount expended per month last year. Since July last this item has amounted to N. lO9,9S0 per month and after January 1, the manufacturers of armor have notified the department that material increase is to be made in their output
 Secretary Moody also has asked for an immediate appropriation of $200000 to ena- ble payment to be made to Cuba for land acquired by the United States for the Guantanamo naval station and to enclose the same within wall or fence, accord ing to the terms of the treaty. !. In explanation of the request, Secretary Moody says:
 "The total amount due to be paid to Cuba for advance rent upon receipt by this government of the land and other property at the station amounts to $137,- Al. Of this amount the owners of property valued by the commission at about S115.000 have slgnifed their willing ness to accept the valuation made by the commission. The owners of the remain ing property, however, have objected to the price and condemnation proceedings have begun in the Cuban courts with the probable result that the appraise valua- ton will be very much increased by it's judgment
 The sum of sl0O.OOO was set aside to meet this expense in the last sundry civil hill

Joy on the Old Plantation
A Christlnas Sketch.

He was a well-groomed man of the world.
 Christmas eve tomorrow" he unused, ''and 1t will be Christmas eve tomorrow down on the plantation. They have no cares at the old country home; none of the worries that shackle our Christmas happiness. They've had time to cultivate the holiday spirit to catch its elusive fas- cination. There are no discordant busi-
 ness cries, to mar the harmony with the Yuletide spirit.
 "They are not chained to a desk or counter until late Christmas night, to go home in the early morning hours with heads in whirl with business woes cares that are not to be banished at will, and cares that are no respecter of the season. In the old days on the plantation we were not called upon, in a moment to throw aside the business habit of the mind to put on the holiday joviality, as q man would change his coat. q want one more Christmas in the country, the kind we had when we were boys"
 He sat in F1eming's. He had dined well
 with friend and of a right should have been at peace with the world. On that one meal he had spent more than his
 
 holidays in the old days of his boyhood.
 He had come out of the country twenty five years ago, to fight it out with life in the city. He brought with him sound morals, a sound mind and a sound body, the healthy equipment of country-bred men who come to the city and do things.
 He had given and taken some hard knocks. And in the end the struggle had eased and he held his full share of the rewards and the honors. To know that he had fought his fight well and fairly brought its own consolation.
 Close upon this thought and called up by 1t, trooped recoliections of the boyhood in the country under the old roof tree. He leaned back in his reminiscent mood and watched the blue smoke of his Hav- ana curl upward to the ceiling. His mind vaulted the gap of the twenty-five years.
 You know the old country Christmas, with cotton high and the smoke house full. The first cold spell has brought to a timely end the hogs that had squeaied around the corn crib through the summer and fall months. In the crowded smoke house. hams, shoulders. and sides are hanging from the rafters, with green shreds of bear grass. The gobblers who have strutted so proudly and gobbled so loudly, have died at the block. How many cacfling hens, how many noisy roosters have been slaughtered to make plantation holiday cannot be told. The old cook, well.trained and foresighted, has carefully husbanded the barn yard eggs against the inevitable egg famine of the holidays
 And the niggers' quarters will be emp ty tomorrow" he sighed. "You know, how the niggers will go to town on Christmas Eve. You can't stop 'em. They will roll in after dark the mules on a lope. You'll hear lem laughing and sing

ing. before you can hear the rattle of the wagon on the hill q mic away. They come in with the women sitting flat in the bottom of the wagon. in a nest of bundles.
 Up in the quarters. a little later the red fire of nghtwood knots In the clay fireplace thrwws a red glare across the yards to the rail fences and spears of red light leap through the cracks in the board roof. You can hear 'em laugh and sing late in the night, mingled with shuf- fling feet and cfapping. The whole crowd Of them men, women and children, will be down at the big house at daybreak with their yesis of 'Crimus gif, Marse Jim; C'rismus giffl' Y
 We white folks are not constituted to enjoy Christmas like the nigger.
 But down at the big house there's fun and music and laughter at night. The light falls from the big hall lamp into the wide yard. and 1t shines bright and clear through the windows among the shadows of the trees. The horsehair legged old fashioned plano. has been moved out into the hall to give the dancers full swing. The girls crowd around the burning logs and shake the wrinkles of their skirts. The boys rather hang around the doors. These country boys are hesitating and bashful until the music gets started and things set to going.
 "The neishborhood fiddler black, bushy- headed. wrinkled and white-eyed sits in the corner torturing his instrument into tune. He takes an awfuliy long tiine and many a slippered feet toys the floor impatiently until the final long drawn scrape notifies the crowd that the fun may begin. He has two assistants, one a young fellow with pair of long straws to beat upon the strings and the other with an iron triangle to chime In with the melody.
 Partners are selected and hurriedly pulled into ''siute yer partners" and the dance Is on. First four fohard an fohard again, through, 'gros right and ners.' in the ending burst of lively melody of Sugar in the Goard.'
 Say. there's worse things to have fun at than at a country dance.
 And you remember the rides home in the old buggy with your fair partner, all wrapped up in a shawl with only her eyes and part of of her red cheeks show ing. The frost shines white in the mon- light on the rail fence. The cold air, the moonlight, the eyes under the shawl are as invigorating as a draught of cham pagne. Away off you hear the clear, long drawn out crow of the rooster who has mistaken the hour and the sudden musical yelping of the possum hunters pack breaks out of the woods and floats across the field. The old buggy becomes a chariot of delight.
 "oh, they were great times on the plan tation. What would you give for one more Christmas like the ones you used to have?
 Stocks and bonds. twelve cent cotton? Bah!'

It was upon the New York Security and Trust Company that the $T,24s,0O0 check was drawn by Mir. Schwab to provide Nixon and Dresser with funds for the pur- chase of the Bethlehem plant and Mir. Root was questioned about Mir. SchwaD's daily balances at that time.
 1t was shown that Mir. Schwabs balance was rapidly increased prior to August 10. 1902, to an amount sufficient to cover the amount of the check
 Inquiry about other loans brought out the fact that on August s, 1902, tho trust company loaned to Oliver Wren, Mir. Schwab's secretary, $2,0O0O00, taking as security United Staes, Steel Corporation preferred stock, the. loan. beiu6 repaid De- oember g. 1902. MT. Root was then ex- cused. Mir. Rose was recalled and testi- fled that the Bethlehem earnings for the year ending July 31. 1902, had been N,- 26l, ,S91, but that no dividends had been paid.
 Mir. Rose gave technical description of the effect of the charging off oe $250, ,OO0 from the Bethlehem assets in November, 1902, declaring that the Shipbuilding Com- pany had bought on representations in the books S250,0OO in current assets which the facts did not bear out and that this same had appeared as current assets in the statement to the New York exchange.
 Taking up then the alleged withholding of Bethlehem dividends which, so 1t is charged, was Instrumental fin wreclxing the shipbuilding Company which owned the Bethlehem stock, Mir. Untermeyer Ob- tained from MT. Rose the statement that the Bethlehem Company. which in Apiil, 1902. had debts amounting to $712,OOO, he'd by September 1, 1908, emerged entirely from debt. having paid off $325,000 since April 1, 1903, and $I5O,00O during the month of August. In addition to applying this sum to debt reduction, MT. Rose stated the Bethlehem Company had since July 21. 1903, invested s313,62 in the Uruguay Iron Company. Upon MT. Guthrie's ob- jection to this as testimony concerning transactions subsequent to the joining isue in this suit. MT. Untermeyer re- joined that 'one of the most significant phases in our case is that matters aris- ing since the joining of action."
 Tn regard to net earnings MT. Roses figures showed that the earnings, $S30176 in 1901. had increased to $1,261 ,S91 Tn tOO2. and S1,6625S0 in 1908; dividends of S525, GOO being paid in 1901, none in 1909, and S25O. 600 in 1908.
 These last dividends, Mir. Rose said, went to the Shipbuilding Company to be applied on the Sl0.OO0.OOO issue of bonds held by c. NJ. Schwab
 At this point the hearing closed for the day.

TRAFFIC IN QUEEN BEES.
Novel Industry Carried on in New

A Novel Industry Carried on in New ioS ,Cs, .@-| York.
 or sthe many orders for queer things re- ceived by New York exporters from vari- ous quarters of the globe perhaps none is more interesting than an occasional re- quest for queen bees, says The New York Evening Post. Such orders come princi- pally from the West Indies, and inasmuch as the commission merchant is generally called upon to handle the honey and wax produced there by the progeny of these insects. he finds a safe business invest ment in shipping the bees. even though they form no source of profit in them selves.
 Queen bees are reared in the West and South, in the districts where clover Is abundant, and the industry is by no means insignificant. Ohio is a large breed ing center. There is one firm in Medina which has 30 colonies devoted to the rearing of high class honey queens, be- sidest a factory in which are manufac- tured the hundred and one things used by the up-to-date bee Keeper .,
 There are many grades of queen bees, and the breeder must thoroughly under- stand the highly organized insects if he expects to produce vigorous. healthy stock that can be depended on to gather honey in large quantities. To this end he selects for mothers none but honey queens (usually imported)- )-queens whose progeny have excelled all others in the apiary. In placing his order the buyer is requested to specify whether he desires red clover" or a honey" queen. The first mentioned stock is bred for red cloy- CT, while the last named will show up well during an ordinary honey flow from clover, basswood and other flowers. The prices vary according to the grades. An uutested queen costs $1,. a tested queen S2, and those called select tested 8. Breed ing queens and select breeding queens bring S and T.50, respectively, and an extra select' one year old is worth BIO

Imported Italian queens, furnished by the best breeders of that country. are the ones usually sent to the West Indies, and they are thoroughly tested in the Western apiaries before shipment. They cost from 8 to s each, but common Itallan queens, bred in this country from pure imported stock can be bought at lower figures.
 Bees cannot be supplied before May 15 nor later than November IS. They travel in "a certain amount of luxury, being shipped in ventilated boxes, containing one or more roomy apartments. and the postage to all parts of the United States and Canada is 1 cent. All the cages, as they age called, are provisioned with spe- cial bee candy, so that the queen may never go hue gry, and the export cages fin addition. with a small portion of sealed honey. The honey and the prepared food make satisfactory combination, and 5o to l5 per cent of the queens are delivered alive. no matter what length the journey
 may be- Bees for export travel in cages larger than the ordinary size and come to New York through the mails or by ex- press.' afterward going to their West In-
 dian destination, not in the mail bag. but under the care of the steamers purser.
 The cages are marked Queen beei De- liver Quick!'' and postmen, expressu1en
 and ships officers follow the instructions faithfully.
 Cuba. Jamaica and Santo Domingo are
 the islands to which the greatest number of queens are sent, and 1t is from there | that New York receives tho bulk of, it's
 imported honey. Lass year more than i3.000 packages-tierces. barrels and tins
 were received, and as a uerce will hold 100 gallons. barrel 50 and a tin some-
 thing less than 20 gallons, 1t may be seen
 that the merchant is amply repaid for
 the trouble he takes in supplying the or
 ders for queens.
 There are Various grades of imported
 honey. thea uality depending on the kind of flowers from which it Is extracted. Where bees feed on the flowers of the to- bacco plant honey Is dark and contains e slight flavor of tobacco. but in some parts of Cuba the apiarist grows fields of cer- tain hower-producing plants. and from these the tiny workers extract an excel lent syrup. All of 1t, however. contains dead bees and other foreign matter. and must be clarified after It's arrival. It goes through the hands of the broker hero to large grocery houses. Jobbers and confec- tioners, and when the New York market is dull the surplus is shipped in bond to Germany and Holland. as these countries consume even more per capita than the United States. In Germany honey cakes'' are we'll known article of food, while in Holland honey often takes the place of butter among the poorer classes.
