Dewey Renominated Admiral OF the Navy.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE President
sent to the Senate to-day the nomination
Of George Dewey TO be Admiral Of the
Navy This was done to correct an error
in his commission. The law of March, 1899
creating the office. made the title Admiral
OF the Navy" but Admiral Dewey's COM
mission reads AN Admiral in the Navy"
Somebody recently called the attention Of
Admiral Dewey to the fact that the legal
title and the title in his commission were
not the same. Admiral Dewey told the
day President Roosevelt and Acting Secre-
tary Of the Navy Darling had talk over
the matter. They came to the conclusion
that the Admirals commission needed
correction. and that the proper way TO ac-
Dewey.
The Senate subsequently, confirmed the
nomination

BEET SUGAR SYRUP FOR HORSES
Espcrimenters Say II Is BETTER and Cheaper
Than Oats.

BINoHAMToN. n. Y. March ii.-As
result Of several weeks of experimenting,
DR.. f. F. Vorhis OF Owe 60 has decided
that beet sugar syrup is better and cheaper
food for horses than oats. He bought
thirty barrels of this syrup, each contain
ing fifty gallons. from the Binghamton
Beet Sugar Company. The syrup costs
cents a gallon, IL the barrels are returned.
This syrup has been fed to the horses
Of George Crabb, who runs the Owego
omnibus and baggage transfer line, and to
those Of James Forsyth, a farmer. All OF
these horses have been able to perform
and IL seems to agree with them, as they
have kept In better condition than when
fed on oats. The syrup is also considerably
cheaper than oats.

NEW POINT IN TRANSFER CASE,
Lawyer for the lnterurban says the Com

LAWYER IOr inc InteSuTusn SSSs Wv WIN
pany Isn't in the County.
The case OF Paul Blume against the Inter-
urban Street Railway Company for re-
fusing to issue transfers. came up again
before Judge Worcester In the Eleventh
Municipal Court yesterday.
Eugene A. Treadwell, who Appeared
for the railway company, made a motion
that thecase be dismissed on the ground that
the law covering the case In point only
stipulates that transfers shall be given by
railroad companies within the city limits;
The Interirbap Railway Company, he
said, was In Westchester county. and that
It IL the lessee OF the Metropolitan and
Third Avenue companies.
Mr.. Treadwell said the Interurbsn COM
pany had no track connections with the
lines in Manhattan. and he didn't see how
the points in question could In any way
apply to the defendant company.
The case went over until tomorrow.

PREDICTS A POOR
TOBACCO CROP
Mr.. silas Shelburne Talks After
Making an Extensive Trip
Over the State.

Mr.. sllas shelburne. who has Travelled
over a large part of the tobacco belt. In
all tho counties aroulld tho oity. asked
yesterday regarding tho tobacco CROP.
said:
1.-THE section south OF the James River
and north Of It. including the counties
Of Fluvanna, Automatic and Grange.
where the bulk OF the dark English
stripping leaf ls made, has less than half
a crop. Tho prices last year on this
class Of tobacco wero so low that the
people were forced to cut the crop.
II talked with number OF good
planters who kept an account OF their
labor, and these report that they did not
make ten cents per day. and a great
many Of Thorn did not make much more
than enough to pay for tholr fertilizer
Tho present crop was planted late.
and. having too much rain. a large
part OF 1t lacks body. and, being thin
and light. will make small yield to
the acre, and will only make common
snuffers and common export filters,
which are now selling ons-tourth under
last years prices. So it is very evident,
unless there Is q big advance in tho lear
grades, the tobacco crop will be almost
abandoned IN this section.
1.-THE crop In the sun-cured belt Is also
light weight, and will not make over
three- fourths OF last years crop. A good
part OF It was planted late. and 10 thin
and has cured dark The early planting
Is bright and sweet, and Will make
fine chew. and will no doubt be all
wanted. but the present prices seem TO
t.s very unsatisf factory to the planters
who are holding meetings and agreeing
among themselves to raise other pro.
ducts and cut off their tobacco crops
There seems to be no disposition what
ever to plant another crop, and unless
there Is big change In prices between
now and the time to burn plant beds,
which s in January and the first OF
February, there will certainly be little
preparation made for another crop. No
planter will now hire labor to plant q
tobacco crop. "A great number OF the
laboring class are leaving their farms,
as they can get employment in the citizen
and upon the railroads that !. S-s them
much better than max =; tobacco
.The sun-cured rs very expensive
crop, as 1t requires so much handling
and takes SO much room. Besides, 1t Is
so hard to keep from Damaging that
great many planters will not make 1t.
Mr.. shclburne's opinion IS that the
tobacco crop over the State, and. IN fact,
over the entire tobacco belt. is wanting
Ii, body, and will be much short in weight
Of what was expected.
The big Butler & Bosher branch plant
of the Continental Tobacco Company,
which has been closed on account OF
getting in new machinery. will start
up tomorrow morning with a large force
OF hands.
