SUGAR IN GERMANY
Producers Desire Allotment System to
 Be Adopted

Bellin-The sugar producers of Ger many want the government to intro- duce the Austrian system of allotting to both refners and raw factories the amount of sugar they may produce yearly. Count von Cammen interpel- lated the government in the reichstag on what it intended to do for the sugar industry in view of Austria's action. He said that Austrian sugar would en- joy an advantage in the American and British markets unless Germany ac- cepted the allotment system.
 Treasury Secretary von Friedman, in announcing that the government did not approve of the allotment plan, said it was highly probable that the United States customs authorities would care- fully examine the new status of Aus trian sugar after September and de- eide that it enjoys an indirect bounty under the double allotment system as ill the case of Russia's indirect bounty. Moreover, continued the secretary, the authority for deciding whether sugar enjoys bounty is invested in the in- ternational commission created by the Brussels treaty. Baron von ThiHlman gave the reason he had for believing that the international commission would take up the question whether Austrian sugar would enjoy an indirect bounty,

SUGAR FROM HAWAII
The Shipments to This Country Far in EXCESS of Those of Last Year

San rancisco-Seventee sugar laden vessels arrived here from Hawaii dur ing the month of February, the total receipts for the month being 51, ,S4S, 300 pounds. The total receipts at this port for the first two months of the year foot up 97, ,365, ,0O0 pounds, against IT, l70, 800 pounds for the same time last year, showing an increased movement this year of over 20,000,O 1000 pounds. This gain is remarkable from the fact that shipments direct from the islands to eastern Atlantic ports were started somewhat earlier this year than last. Two sailing vessels left the islands for Delaware Breakwater about February z. These were the Willscott, with 5000 tons, and the Foohng Suey, with 1750 tons. The c. S. Bement and Kenil- worth have either just sailed for the same destination or are about to sail with 6000 tons more. Heavy shipments of sugar have recently been made to Australia.

RAGING WITH DEATH
Exciting Run of a Train on a Col
 oradO Road

Denver, Col. :. Instant death beneath an avalanche of snow, earth and rocks came very nearly being the fate of dozens of Denver and Rio GIande pas sengers en route to this city from the west. It was one of tEe narrowest es- capes ever experienced by a mounta in train, and that the train, with the 250 passengers on board, was not destroyed is a marvel.
 The Atlantic coast express with eight coaches filled with eastbound passen- gers was laundering through the can yon near Cotopaxi station, when sud- denly crash, rumbIing sound and the noise of an avalanche sweeping down the canyon awoke everyone on board. The engineer opened the throttle and his engine responded bravely, rac- ing eastward at lively gait. He managed to pull through in the nick of time to save the train and the lives ot the passengers.
 The point of the accident is one of the most dangerous in the Rocky mountain region, and the snows of the past few months had piled up for nearly 100 feet in the canyon. When the jar from the train was felt, the mass of trees, snow, rock and earth swept down on the tracks just behind the train and obliterated the tracks. Several hundred men are now at work clearing the road.

The president said that the extra session of the senate made it uncertain just when he will be able to start west but earnestly hopes to be in San Francisco at the dedication of the battle of Manila memorial in May.
 It is believed that Representative Metcalf also talked with the president about having one 13,00O-ton battleship constructed at the Mare Island navy yard, and that the president is dis posed to have the experiment made if Secretary Moody will agree. The president and Mir. Moody are both determined to have the new navy con- structed as fast as possible, and as private yards, on account of strikes and

BUFFALO HUNT
Exciting Sport Indulged in on an
 Island in Salt Lake

Salt Lake, Utah-A buffalo hunt took place Sunday on Antelope island, in the Great Salt Lake, fifty miles from this city. The hunters were party of Salt Lakers and their game three magnificent buffalo among a pri- vate herd of buffalo on the island. These animals had become so vicious that their presence was a constant menace not only to human life but also to the herds of cattle grazing on the island. The hunt was an exciting affair and several of the party had narrow escapes from death. Several times the animals, maddened by the stinging bullets, turned upon their pursuers, who escaped only by urging their mounts to the utmost speed. The buffalo fought with all the traditional courage and ferceness of their race, and not until their bodies were literal ly riddled with bullets did they give m the strupyle.

DOING THE BEST SHE CAN
Turkeys Efforts to Ameliorate the
 Conditions to Macedonia

Constantinople-Ferid Pasha, the grand vizier, was interviewed, and in the course of the colloquy he made tlle statement that the Turkish government had been laboring for several months to ameliorate the conditions of Mace- donia, where it was spending large sums, especially in the matter of pro- viding better means of communication. The government had also appointed capable and enlightened officials in order to for n new staff of gendarme- rie for the whole of Macedonia, some first rate German officers having been secured for this purpose. Any outbreaks that might occur would be suppressed solely by the regular troops, but it must readily be understood how diffi- cult it is to suppress guerilla bands.
 It was therefore to be hoped that Turkey would not be continually ham, pered by complaints of unavoidable hitches. The government had the Tn. tention of carrying out the proposed reforms to the letter.

LAUNCH OF CHATTANOOGA
ONE MORE CRUISER ADDED TO THE
 NAVY
The Craft is of the Steel Protected Class, Sheath ed With Wto', and Will Have a Steamirg Radius of Over Forty Thousand Knots

Elizabeth. N. 1.-The cruiser Chat tanoonga was launched at 2 80 o'lcock Sunday afternoon. She slid gracefully 1 into the water. The launching and cer- emonies were most successfully carried out.
 Great precautions had to be taken in launching the Chattanooga because there was only 500 feet of water in front of the ways and the cruiser is more than S5 feet long. To overcome the danger, system of checking the movement of the vessel was devised. Two great weights were secured we'll well down in the ground on either side of the ways. As the cruiser left the ways and was waterborne, series of heavy ropes were broken, each rope sustaining a strain of twenty tons. In this way the ship gradually was stopped before she reached the opposite shore.
 The Chattanooga was christened by Miss May Chamblis, daughter of the mayor of Chattanooga.
 The Chattanooga is sheathed steel protected cruiser. Her length over all is 3OS1a feet, and 92 on the load water line. Her extreme breadth is forty- four feet, draught fifteen feet nine inches and displacement is 52OO tons. There are four steel decks and deep coffer dam is built completely around the ship in the region of the water line. The coffer dam is filled with corn pith celluose for the protection of the ship. There is a cellular double bot tom the full length of the ship and ten complete transverse water tight bulkheads, extending above the water line. The pilot house and chart house are built of bronze and the water tight doors are operated from central station.
 The armament of the Chattanooga consists of ten fve-inch quick-firing guns in the main battery, one being located at each end of the vessel on the main deck and four on each broad- side of the gun deck. The secondary battery consists of eight x-pounder rapid fire guns, two one-pounders with four machine guns and one field gun for landing purposes. The five-inch guns of the broadside battery of the Chattanooga are protected by nickel steel plating, one-fourth inch in thick ness.
 There are two powerful searchlights on the flying bridge and the vessel is to.have wireless telegraph equipment. Her bunkers can carry 700 tons of coal and at ten knots her cruising radius will be over 5000 knots.
