BEET SUGAR MEN.
Their AssOci ton Adopts Revolutions
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the Cuban treaty was withdrawn at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 a 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
a few cents per day, to produce those
things which this country can pro-
duce. rather than such commodities
as we are unable to produce.

strike commission Tuesday after
noon, and the commissions attention
was then called to the conditions ex-

One of the principal witnesses
called before the committee Tuesday
was Thomas F. Torrey. coal sales
agent of the Delaware & Hudson
company at New York, who testified
that the company he represents is
deriving no benefit from the present
abnormal price which the public is
paying for it's fuel.

cation regarding the prices of gro

in the Wyoming and Lackawanna val
leys, who was on the stand Monday
was recalled. Counsel for the miners
objected to that part of the state
ment which included the consump-
ton of liquor, because it included the
entire population. If the witness
could show how much the miners
consumed there would be no objec-
ton, but counsel did not want the
entire liquor consumption charged
to the miners. The commission eX-
cluded the statement because it did
not show a per capita consumption.

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 a runaway accident. Ac-
co,mpanied 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 aaval 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

escort, Lieut.. Poyer passed in review.

the guns on the Santee wharf. The
FESTIVE horses attached to the car
riage swerved suddenly and got be-
You'd control of the driver. They
dashed down Upshur row, past the

making every effort to quiet them.

rage 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
Moody, who had opened the door of

the carriage as the horses dashed over
the frozen ground, suddenly leaped
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
broken ranks without orders as the
carriage dashed by, and very soon the
secretary was lifted by tender hands
and carried to the nearby residence of
Superintendent Brownson, where he
shortly recovered consciousness.
Slight cuts and bruises on his fore
head, nose and face are thought to
be the extent of the secretary's in
juries. Neither Senator Hale nor
Lieut.. Poyer were injured, as the
horses were brought up against wall
soon after making the turn into the
open lot.

CHANGE in THE PLAN,
Gov. Taft Decides to Remain in the
Philippines.
Judge William Il. Day, McKinleya
First Secretary of state, to Sue
cccd Justice Shirns ON the
Supreme Bench.

Washington, Jan. i4.-After mature
consideration, it has been decided by
the president that Judge Taft shall
remain in the Philippines as civil gov
crnor. 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 ii has been regarded as settled
that Gov. Taft would return TO this
country. perhaps in a few months, to
become Il justice of the United States
supreme court. President Roosevelt
Indicated to Gov. Taft in Il letter dis
patched TO the Philippines more than
month ago that he could have the
appointment to the supreme bench if
he desired ii. 1t was the presidents
purpose to name Gen. Wright as civil
governor of the Philippines.
FilipinO~ PrOtcnt.
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
cahlrgram from some of the most
important interests in the Philippines
urging the retention of Gov. Taft as
civil governor.
Asks to Remain.
Gov. Taf,'s ambition has been to
round out his career as Il justice of the
United States supreme court, but he
has become imbucd SO entirely with
the spirit of the great work to be ac-
complishrd in the Philippines and so
perfectly in sympathy with the ideals
of the best classes of the inhabitants
that he htsitatcd to rclinqush his
post at this time, even to accept the
distinguished honor the president Of
fcred to confer on him. Tuesday, in
response to the presidents letter Of
fcriny to him the supreme iusticcship,
Il cabIcgram was received from him
suggesting. with a sincere apprecia-
tion of the tender made to him by the
president. that il might be better for
him, i'm view of all circumstances, to
remain where he was.
After this il was announced unof-
ficially. but entirely nuthoritativcly,
that Coy. Taft would remain indeti-
ntrIy as civil governor of the Philip
pines. During the afternoon, subse-
uucnt to the cabinet meeting, Sccre-
tary Root had long conference with
the president, at which the Philippine
situation was ranvaSsrd in all its
phases. Many serious problems are
vet to be solved with respect to The
islands and the administration is look
ing with confidence to Gov. Taft to
reach such Il solution of them as will
be satisfactory to the people of this
country, to the Filipinos and to the
world.
