There were i've companies repro.

tion last night. when the Cuban and
Philippines resolutions were adopted.

consin Sugar Company. Il. q. Wagner:
the National Sugar Company. =. X.
Carey. and the Los Alamitos Sugar
Company. J. Ross Clark. McHsrs.
Wagner and Clark strongly opposed
the Cuban resolution, declaring that
the present gathering was not rep
rcxcniativc one Of the sugar beet
growing industry Of the country. inas.
much ms the entire vote. including tho
proxies held by Mr.. Oxnnrd. did not
amount to onc.haii the sugar beet fac
tories In the United States.
Both Mr.. Warner and Mr.. Clark.
after the meeting had adjourned. said
that they would withdraw from fur
thcr connection with the association.
as II had outiivcd It's usefulness and

Mr.. Wagner and Mr.. Clark both voted
against the resolution.
Mr.. oxnard contcndcd that the year.
ly output Of the companies which he
represented and of those for whom he
held proxies wns greater many times

President Opposes Mormon Senator.
Washington, d. C., Jan. Ex-senator
Kearns OF Utah last evening gave out
for publication statement antagoniz-
ing the election of the Mormon apos.
tie, Reed Smoot. as successor to SEN
ator Rawlins. He says that President
Roosevelt requested him to state thnt
he hoped no apostle would be elected.
Ho based his expression and interest
on the firm belief that the selection
Of an apostle would arouse bitter feol-
ing and do irretrievable injury to the
best interests of Utah. Senator
kearns says President Roosevelt said:
"The election of an apostle would
work great harm to Utah. II would
be unwisc md would certainly lead
to strife and contention. feel sure
that II Utah legislators understand
the gravity of the situation they will
refrain from any action which will not
result in good for the future Of Utah
and her people. desire to be placed
on record as kindly and firmly advis.
Ing against the election Of any apos-
tie to the United States senatorship."

curious feature Of our ordnance Office
that it is always the very last of the
military establishments to sec any
merit in any Invention that does not
emanate from some member Of its
corps. That used to be the invariable
rule, but it has been a good deal modi-
fed in late years, with the invention
and adoption by other nations of war
like instruments that were American
invention and plan.
The renown Of the famous Ameri-
can pistol soon spread all over Eu-
rope. Russia was the first country to
give Colt a big order, and this it did
sufficiently to take three years in it's
completion. When the Crimean war
began the English and French found,
to their amazement, that the Russian
Guard cavalry and some of the picked
mounted regiments of the line were
armed with a pistol and carbinc far
excelling that in the hands of the
allied armies of England, France and
Turkey, and to-day, in spite Of the
multiplicity Of inventions, nothing
superior has ever been DEVISED

Imagination Principally.

Friends of Hugh Mclaughlin, leade,
OF the Kings county Democracy, are
laughing over one of his practical
jokes, says the New York Journal.
The veteran had a sore throat recently
and was using tablets composed of ill.
tasting drugs coated with sugar. AS.
semblyman McKeown came in and saw
the tablets strewn about on McLaugh-
Inns desk. McKeown reached for one
and Mclaughlin watched him chew it
until his face paled.
"What is the matter, John?" asked
Mclaughlin. "Have you been eating
those poisonous gumdrops that I pre-.
pared for the rats, in the auction
rooms?"
"Were they poisonous, Mr. Mac?"
quer'ed McKeown anxiously.
"Sure," said Mclaughlin. "You
better get some medicine, and Iii teie.
phone for an ambulance"
McKeown rushed to a drugstore,
got medicine, returned to the auction
rooms and sat down to await the am.
bulance. he became 80 nervous owe,
the delay in the arrival Of the ambu
lance that Mclaughlin, fearing pros.
t%ration, revealed the joke.

complished by machinery. Steam
shovels pick up the earth. which is
conveyed by trolley carriers to cars
and transported with the help Of To-
comotives to convenient places, where
it is dumped. Where rock has to be
removed blasting is done, of course;
but fortunately there is very little
rock to be excavated along the Pana.

NECESSARILY a great deal of expen-
sive machinery will have to be pur-
chased. Much Of the apparatus now

be replaced with the newest and most
up-to-date machines. With Ameri-
can energy and unlimited funds be-
hind the enterprise the digging of the
canal will be carried forward with
great rapidity. It is even now in
progress, in sort Of fashion, about
1900 laborers in the employ Of the
French company being engaged on the
work.
"The estimated cost of completing
the ditch is s144, 900 900. It will be
forty-seven miles IN length, though
the isthmus is only forty miles wide,
the route traversed being far from
straight. The bottom width of the
canal will be $50 feet, it's width at
the top varying with the formation.
Where it passes through rock, Of
course, its sides will be sleeper than
where the banks are Of earth. The
depth of the water will be IS feet
throughout, so as to allow for the pas
sage of the largest freight steamers,
aud there will be FIVE twin locks built
Of solid masonary.
"Thesdeepest cut to be made will
not be much owe 300 feet above sea
level at the highest point. BY the
help of the locks ships will be lifted
up the requisite 80 feet on one side
of the isthmus and lowered again
to the level OF the ocean on the
other side. The locks will be twins
in order that, when one of them needs
repairs navigation may not be inter-
rupted.
sit is estimated that about {, 1000, 900
tons of freight will pass through the
canal during the irst year after it is
opened and that there will be a steady
increase in the traffic thereafter. Tolls

l should say. Uncle Sam will not be
anxious to make money out Of the
enterprise; and it is hardly necessary
to say that everything about this great
public work will be done on a scale of
liberality. Every modern improve
mentw will be introduced-even to the
lighting of the ditch throughout it's
entire length with electricity furnish
ed by water-power." Rene Bache.

 With sheets well off before freshening wind over the quarter, Shamrock l. slowly drew ahead of the old challenger until, when they approached the turn the new boat was setting a ten-knot pace and leading by two thirds of a mile
 Nearing the finish the breeze grew fresh and they finished at rate that called for the Erins best speed to reach the line first. Shamrock I was a good mile astern but coming at flying gait when Shamrock III crossed the line.
 Then the racers were sent away five miles to windward.
