BEET SUGAR MEN.
Their Association Adopts Resolutions
Withdrawing Opposition to
the Cuban Treaty.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Opposition to
the Cuban treaty was withdrawn at
thursdays meeting of the American
Beet Sugar association, which passed
resolutions withdrawing any OPPOSE
ton to the ratification of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, but recommending
that the treaty be SO amended as to
express in precise language what is
intended to be secured by it to the
beet sugar manufacturers of the Uni
ted States-viz.: that during the Pc
Rod of five years covered by the
treaty no sugar exported from Cuba
shall be admitted to the United
States at reduction of duty greater
than 20 per cent. of the rates of the
duty thereon as provided by the tar
if act of July "a, 1897.
The association also adopted res
olution protesting against the unnec-
essary stimulation of the sugar and
tobacco industries of the Philippine
islands by means of further tariff re-
auctions, thus, as the resolution
stated, encouraging the people of
those islands, where the labor is but
few cents per day, to produce those
things which this country can pro-
duce, rather than such commodities
as we are unable to produce.

Secretary of the Navy Moody Serious.

Annapolis, Md, Jan. 13.-Secretary
of the Navy William II. Moody was
seriously, but not dangerously, in
jured in the naval academy grounds
Monday by runaway accident. Ac-
ccmpanied by Senator Hale, chair
man of the senate naval affairs COM
mittee, the secretary arrived here at
two o'clock to inspect the new build
ings being erected in the naval acad-
envy grounds, being driven from the
railroad station in Superintendent
Brownson's private carriage. The
battalion of cadets were drawn up in
line of salute just inside the academy
grounds, and as the carriage bearing
the secretary, Senator Hale and their
escort, Lieut.. Poyer passed in review,
salute of II guns belched forth from
the guns on the Santee wharf. The
FESTIVE horses attached to the car
rage swerved suddenly and got be-
You'd control of the driver. They
dashed down Upshur row, past the
line of cadets, the driver meantime,
making every effort to quiet them.
The breaking of the pole of the car
riage as the spirited animals dashed
down the roadway served to render
them more excited.
AS the maddened animals dashed
down the hill towards College creek,
the driver, seeking to stop them, sud-
denly turned their heads into a vacant
lot between two houses. Secretary

to the pavement, as the carriage made
the turn into the enclosure. He landed
on his face on the pavement and was
rendered unconscious by the shock.
The battalion of midshipmen had

objected to that part of the state

entire liquor consumption charged
to the miners. The commission ex-

not show a per capita consumption.

cccd Justice Shirns on the
Supreme Bench.

Washington, Jan. 14.-After mature
considerations, it has been decided by
the president that Judge Taft shall
remain i'll the Philippines as civil gov.
ernor. The decision was reached only
after the president had discussed the
Philippine question thoroughly with
Secretary Root and the other members
OF his cabinet. and with Vice Governor
Luke T.. Wright. who has been in this
country for two months. For several
weeks it has been regarded as settled
that Gov. Taft would return to this
country, perhaps in a few months, to
become justice of the United States
supreme court. President Roosevelt
indicated to Gov. Taft in Il letter dis
patched to the Philippines more than
Il month ago that he could have the
appointment to the supreme bench if
he desired il. 1t was the presidents
purpose to name Gen. Wright as civil
governor of the Philippines.

AS soon as it was learned in the
philippines that Gov. Taft was likely
to leave the islands cablcd protests
began TO pour in on the president from
prominent Filipinos Even Monday
the president was in receipt of a
cahlcgram from some of the most
important interests in the Philippines
urging the retention of Gov. Taft as
civil governor.
Asks to Remain.
Gov. Tafl's ambition has been to
round out his career as Il justice of the
United States supreme court, but he
has become imbued so entirely with
the spiri, of the great work to be ac-
complished in the Philippines and so
perfectly in sympathy with the ideals
that he htsitatcd to relnquish his
post at this time, even to accept the
distinguished honor the president Of
fcrcd to confer on him. Tuesday, in
response to the presidents letter Of
feriny TO him he supreme usticcship,
Il cablcgrnm was received from him
suggesting. with Il sincere apprecia-
ton of he tender made to him by the
president, that it might be better for
him. in view of all circumstances, to
remain where he was.
After this il was announced unof-
ficially. but entirely authoritatively,
that Gov Taft would remain indet-
nitrIy as civil governor of the Philip
pines. During the afternoon. subse-
uucnt to the cabinet meeting, Sccre-
tary Root had II long conference with
he president. at which the Philippine
situation was canvasSrd in all its
phases. Many serious problems are
vet to be solved With respect to the
islands and he administration is look
ing with confidence to Gov. Taft to
reach such a solution of them as will
be satisfactory TO the people of this
country, TO the Filipinos and to the
world.
