Conditioned on Completion OF
Building Fund by 1904.

The Washington Young Mems Chris
tian Association is rejoiced over the gift
of 500, coo by John D. Rockefeller to its
building fund. This sum was pledged in
letter from the miliionaire's son received
Saturday. The gift is conditioned upon
the raising of the complete building fund
OF 100000 by January 1, 1904.
The Y. NJ C. a. is raising this money
for additions and improvements TO its
building on G Street near Seventeenth
Street northwest. 1t is proposed to en-
large the present structure, to add dorm
tories for mems use and apartments Of
considerable size for boys. The activities
of the association have been hampered
for some time on account of lack Of
room, and last fall movement took
shape to raise large fund and increase
the size of the present building by about
one-half

merely local, as is the case with similar

Funeral of Arthur Jenkins.

Syracuse signally honored one of its
great benefactors, modest though he
was, in paying the last tribute of re-
spect to Arthur Jenkins, founder of
the Syracuse Herald and the president
and general manager of the Herald
company, whose funeral occurred We'd
nesday afternoon.
The services were conducted by the
Rev. Karl Schwartz, dean of the Eps-
copal Church of the Savior. Flowers
everywhere, the tokens of friends,
made the rooms floral bowers. A
quartet sang Mr.. Jenkins favorite
hymn, Nearer My God, to Thee" and
other appropriate selections.
The city had never seen a more
representative gathering at a funeral
The appreciation of the services OF
the Herald's founder to the city of Sy-
racuse was a revelation, considering Z
the modesty of the man. In fact a
funeral which the family and friends
believed would be quiet ceremony,
was by the spontaneous tribute Of
Syracusans, a memorable occurrence
il its widespread expression of es.
TEEN and sorrow in which Mr.. Jenkins
was held by the people of the city anl
the newspaper fraternity throughout
the state.

partial victory was scored Sunday
by the Chicago City railway against its
striking employees. From early morn

} regular service on it's Wentworth
avenue line from Seventy Ninth street
to the downtown district.
The first car, manned by non-union
crew, left the car barns, guarded by {.
dozen policemen, at o'clock and was
followed four minutes later by an
other train.
Twenty-Five cars in all were put into
service but the schedule was frequen5-
ly interfered with by distractions on
the tracks and by the inexperience of
the men running the cars,
According to the officials of the
company an attempt will be made to

supply protection. Enough non
union men have been secured, it is
said, to extend the service in all di
rections, 1t is claimed that police aid

Worlds Sugar Production.

The department of agriculture, In
Is official crop report" for the
month Of November, announces that
the indications are that the world
has entered on new era in
the production of cane sugar. The de.
partment quotes estimates placing the
total sugar production of the world in
the year 1894 at 10,425,S00 tons OF
2,240 pounds each, including 4,342,S0C
tons Of cane sugar and 6,0S3,000 tons
of beet sugar, and says as to cane
sugar:
During the past five years the
worlds output of this product has in
creased from 100000 to upwards Of
100000 tons, the greatest increase
ever made in any five year period in
the history of the industry.
"The high record crop in the history
of the worlds beet sugar production
was that of 1902. Since that date
there has been a decline in production
IN Europe, amounting in all to about
100000 tons. but the present years
estimated output still shows consid
erable increase over that OF five year,
ago"

HOUSE MINORITY REPORT.
Democrats Favor Cuban Treaty
Certain Amendments Are Made.

Washington, Nov. IA minority
report setting forth the views OF
Messrs Williams of Mississippi, Swan.
son Of Virginia, Mcclellan of New
York and Clark of Missouri, on the Gu.
ban bill, was filed in the house.
Mr.. Cooper of Texas, also a member
Of the minority on the ways and means
committee, presented lengthy report
ccndemning the Cuban treaty in toto.
The minority report states that the
bill should be amended by striking out
the provision that no reduction in
sugar duty should be made during the
life of the treaty, declaring that one
congress has no right to bind sue,
ceeding congress, and by inserting an
amendment striking out the differen.
tial on refined sugar because" the
report says. 'in our opinion, we would
thereby deprive the great sugar trust
of this country of some of its power
to extort from the consumer, curtail
It's power to bear down the price Of
the raw material. and lessen its abil.
ity to dictate to wholesale and retail
dealers in sugar the manner in which
they shall do business and the price
az which they shall sell refined
sugar"
The report says if the amendment
is adopted the minority would vot =
for the bill, but even if defeated they
recommend its passage" because we
think that the good to be done by its
passage will far overbalance the evil
which will result from a failure 70
take advantage of the opportunity to
diminish the power of the sugar trust
"As long as the present party Is in
power we can perhaps hope for tarift
reductions and revision only from reci
procity treaties. 1t Is a piecemeal
process, but it is better than no pro
cess at all We hail it as a harbinge.
OF future reciprocity treaties with
other countries, especially those upon
the American continent, and notably
our neighbor to the north. the Domin-
lon of Canada"

NATIONAL GRANGE.
Secretary Brigham of Washington
Spoke Of Tyranny of Labor and
Organized Capital.

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 17.-Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture J. H. Brigham
Of Washington, d. c., addressed the
National Grange, of which he was
master for nine years.
He spoke very plainly and urged the
farmers to take firm stand against
the tyranny of organized labor and or.
ganized capital. Both, he said, were
threatening problems which the agri-
cultural class alone could solve. His
words we're received with great en-.
thusiasm.
Two important resolutions were in.
troduced. One from Oregon called for
an investigation of the charge that the
railroads are charging the government
more for carrying mails than they
charge the express companies for car.
rying packages. The other demand
ed compensation for rural mail
route carriers which would equal that
received by city mail carriers. Both
these resolutions were referred to the
legislative committee.
A delegate from Ohio sent in res
olution protesting vigorously against
the adoption of the metric system.
An important resolution was intro
duced at the session of the National
Grange in relation to the scarcity OF
farm labor, asking Secretary of Agri.
culture James Wilson to ascertain
what can be done to induce the emf.
grafton into the United States of com.
petent farm laborers from foreign
countries.
