THE HAWAIIAN SUGAR CROP.

The ftA w ALAN SJIAH OltOf'
The current number of Bradstreets
contains the following:
The secretary of the Sugar Planters
Association estimates that the Hawai-
ian crop of 1903 viii prove to be 100000
tons. THIS is an enormous output, the
largest that has ever been obtained
from the islands. The largest crop of
the islands hitherto harvested, accord
ing to the Hawaiian Star was that of
1901, when 960,03S tons were sent to
market. The crop of 1902 aggregated
355,611 tons. The present crop lis
therefore far and away the largest
crop ever produced on the islands. 1t
is interesting to note the remarkable
growth of Hawaiis great main indus
try. In 1898 the sugar crop amounted
to 1881 tons. The next year, 1894, it
was 166, 1872 tons. a sudden drop to 49,
627 tons came in 1895. In 1896 it jump
ed to 225,S2S tons and kept above the
100000 ton mark till 1900 when it stood
at $685. tons. For the years 1901 and
1902 it was above the 100000 ton mark,
and in 1903 it has shot above 1000.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb d.
AS the Venezuela issue stands today
the British protocol Is so drawn that
Mr.. Bowen may aocept.-it in princi-
pie, but the. German, draft is unac-
ceptable and the differences between
the negotiators as. to this protocol
are more marked than in T.; case
of any other. One statement asade,
(not by Mr.. Bowen) was the refer
ence OF the Hague. the question OF
allowing preferential claims, yet
their protocol is SO drawn as to prac-
tically require such preferential treat
ment in advance of the submission OF
the case to that tribunal. MI. Bow

would not be acceptable to the Ven

therefore declined to sign. it in its

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 81
Speaker Henderson, who has recov-
cred from his recent indisposition,
presided over the deliberations OF
the house today. After the reading
of the Journal, Mr.. Richardson of Ten
nessee, took exception to the pre-
sentation of the conference report on
the department of commerce bill at
yesterdays memorial session. He
contended that action of yesterday
was void. The speaker ruled that it
was regular. He said in his ruling
that it had been repeatedly held that
Sunday could be made legislative
day. There had as a fact been no
legislation at yesterdays session. BY
unanimous consent the house simply
permitted the filing of the confer
ence report under the rule. The
house when in session at any time,
he stated, was omnipotent, except for
the limitations of the constitution.
Mr.. Richardson protested against
the ruling as dangerous precedent
and moved to correct the journal SO
as to strike out the action of yester-
day. Eleven republicans voted with
the democrats for this motion, but
it was defeated on a rising vote OF
80 to SO. Mr.. Richardson demand
ed the ayes and nays and the roll

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. o.
When the statehood bill was taken
up, Mr.. Kean, of New Jersey, continu-
ing his remarks in opposition to the
measure, Mr. Rawlins. answering
some references of Mr.. Kean to the
Mormons, said that in Salt Lake
City, the nOn-mormons are glad to
aid in electing mormons to import
ant political offices because of their
desire to give to the municipality
good government. Certain eloquents
in the church, he said by reason of
long habit were disposed to yield to
the dictates of prominent individuals
in the church. 1T is not to be de-
MED that their influence is very con-
siderable, said he, but there was
still large element among the NOR
mons who resent the idea OF such
interference" Mr. Kean said the peO-
pie Of the United States are oppos-
ed to polygamy and mean in every
way to stamp it out. Answering Mr..
Nelson, M. can said the mormons
who fed from Idaho to Mexico un-
doubtedly would return to the United
States and mix in the politics of Ari-
ozna and attempt to usurp the public
authority of that state should it be
admitted. Mr.. Hale interrupted to
remark that every time this phase OF
the subject is reached it presents
some new information and before
anything further is done he thought
somebody should submit amendments
in order to have an expression of the
feeling OF the senate for it's action.
Mr. Kean said he would offer an
amendment of this kind In the
course of Mr.. kean's remarks, Mr..
Patterson interrupted to read from
a speech made by the president at
Las Vegas, New Mexico, upon the
occasion of the rough riders reunion
in which he is said to have favored
the admission of New Mexico as a
State and would go to Washington
and work for such a bill. Mr.kean
declared this did not put him on rec
ord as favoring the omnibus bill. Mr..
Patterson thought the president, be-
ing then a distinguished republican
leader, having enthusiastically pledg-
ed himself in favor OF New Mexico's
admission, his opposition to the ON
nibus bill should vanish.

TALK OVER THE WIRE
into PHONOGRAPH
Englishman's Invention Which Instan-
taneously Records Conversation.

LONDON. Dec. 1.-the Daily Mali
announces that it has conducted reason
ably successful experiments with a re-

graph. which is the Invention of z. G.
Craven, an English engineer. who was
once an assistant of Thomas A. Edison

The mechanism combines a telephone
and phOnograph. Messages spoken into
the telephone transmitter were sent
over a dozen miles between London and
Twickenham, where they were received
by the photograph. without audible
sound. by direct electrical effect on a
vibrating diaphragm. When the phono-
graph was disconnected from the tele-
