reserve, and 16 per cent to the perma-
nent reserve.
A writer in a recent issue of the Civil
and Military Gazette of Calcutta states
that there are signs of growing ascend
ency of European beet sugar over East
Indian cane sugar It is feared that
beet sugar may in time play the same
role compared to cane sugar that sym
thetic indigo now plays in regard to
natural indigo. While there are no
tangible proofs of a very strong tend
ency in that direction, the writer sees
it foreshadowed in the decline of the
cane acreage in British East India. It
is doubtful if there are any serious
signs of such tendency and unless the
writer of eur East Indian contemporary
adduces a few more convincing facts
than those on which he bases his dire
prophecy. the world will not be pro-
foundly alarmed over the condition of
the East Indian sugar industry.
The Demerara Daily Chronicle of
September I reports that the expert
ments conducted on the sugar estates
of British Guiana during the season.
July l to December 81, 1903, and at the
Botanic Gardens of Georgetown during
the six months ending June 3d. 1904,
show that the largest acreage was de-
voted to the Bourbon G,507 acres),
white transparent Q,279 acres), d 109
1887 acres). B 147 GAG acres). and D 625
G23 acres). Seeding D 625 has shown
its superiority by heading the list in
the field of commercial sugar per acre
since 1901 For the three campaigns,
from 1901 to 1903, this Seeding has
produced an average yield of 2,71 tons
of sugar per acre: next in order comes
the Sealy seeding, with 2.13 tons per
acre, and these are followed by D 95.
D 145, and D 179, with 2o9, 2.07 and EOS

MAKES
GOOD SHOWING

BOSTON, Oct. 24.-The armored
States navy by William Cramp & Sons
of Philadelphia, today in her official
trial covered IS nautical miles in three
hours 81 minutes and seconds, main
tanning an hourly average speed of
1926 knots throughout the run, ex-
ceeding the speed of % knots called for
in the builders contract by more than
a quarter of a knot. 1t is believed that
tide corrections will increase her aver
age slightly. The highest speed devel-
oped was 1888 knots and this was
maintained for six and six-tenths miles
during the homeward run
Today's performance rates the Colo
RADIO as the fastest vessel in the armor-
ed cruiser class and one of the fastest
in the navy, the only large American
ships that have ever exceeded her
speed being the Columbia and the Min
neapolis. The engines worked smooth
ly and developed an average horses
power. of $4,000 and the ponderous twin
screws whirled at an average of 128
revolutions minute and at times
made 100 revolutions The great ship
responded to the slightest touch on her
helm.
In turning the Figure 81 and in
other maneuvering tests the ship gave
splendid satisfaction, particularly in
the complete turn which she made in a
circle diameter which was a little less
than twice the length of the cruiser.

FITZGERALD HAS TWO
FIRES THE SAME DAY.

Fitzgerald, Ga, April 17.-Had the
fire at the Opera House yesterday been
discovered five minutes later several
thousand dollars worth of adjacent
property would have been destroyed
as the Opera House is modern build
ing, and considerably higher than sur
rounding ones.
The fire had its origin in a pile of
shavings directly under a window, and
was probably started by a match or
cigar thrown down by some patron Of
the bowling alley which occupies q
room on the ground floor.
The blaze was discovered by ]. f..
Mercer, editor of the Fitzgerald En-
terprise, which occupies a two-story
brick building within few feet of the
Opera House, and the prompt and eff
fectiye action of himself and his office
force kept the flames under control
until the arrival Of the fire company.
The damage is confined to the
ground floor and lower story, as the
fire was on the ground. and actually
under the building.
Before the firemen returned to head
quarters, a second alarm called the
company TO the residence of Capt. j.
A. Philips, on South Main street. The
fire was easily controlled.

GROWN IN 200 YEARS

Boston, April 1.-THE present week
marks the two hundredth anniversary
of the American press, and the BIZ
centennial will be commented upon
generally by to-morrow's papers, the
first American newspaper having been

number in the week of April 1924,
1704. 1t consisted of a sheet by 10h
inches, printed on both sides, two COL
rmns to the page. It's editor was John
Campbell. postmaster of Boston. For
fifteen years the News Letter was the
only newspaper i'm the colonies of Great
Britain in America.
Philadelphia was the second Ameri-
can city to establish a newspaper, In
1913, and New York third, in 1925. At
the present time there are more that
21,000 newspapers in the United States.

FouLKE BACKS ROOSEVELT.
Says Charge of Suspension of Rules
Not Borne Out.

Not Borne Out,
Washington, April 17.-Chairman Gill
lett of the House Committee on Civil
Service Reform, recently wrote w. D.
Foulke, ex-civil service commissioner,
calling his attention to recent congress
sional and other criticisms of President
Roosevelt on the ground that he has
made a larger number of irregular ap-
pointments to the classified service
than any of his predecessors, and in
view Of the fact that the period covered
was While Mr.. Foulke was a commits
sioner, asking his opinion as to the
charges. In reply, Mr.. Foulke, under
date Of April Is, wrote
The fact is exactly the other way.
There have been fewer appointments
without competitive examination un-
der President Roosevelt than under
any other President, and there has
been no administration since the pas
sage of the civil service act in which
the competitive system has advanced
with greater rapidity and certainty. 1t
has been necessary for every President
TO permit certain positions to be filed
without examination. The number has
been reduced from time to time and the
range of the competitive system ex-
tended. This process has gone on fast
err under President Roosevelt than I'M
der any other President. OF the sixty
cases of suspensions of the rules dur
ing his administration, only thirty
three are of persons who are allowed
10 enter the service without eXamina-
ton. In other words, out of over TO-
OCo appointments to the competitive
service since Mr.. Roosevelt became
President, it was deemed unnecessary
IN thlrty-three cases to require COM
petltlVe examination.
These cases form less than one
twentieth of l per cent. of the an
poihtments. They were usually made
on the recommendation of cabinet
ofhcer and with the approval of the
commission. In all of these cases the
person was excepted and not the posi-
uon. This has been found by expert
ehce TO be much the better plan. If,
LOT instance, the position of coachman
nau been excepted generally and not
the particular man it would be found
.hat the number of eoachmen would
increase and many exceptions would
creep IN instead of one
