QUANTITIES OF SUGAR.
Customs Service in New Orleans Being
Swamped.

New Orleans SO heavy have be-
come the importations of sugar into
New Orleans since the 20 per cent.
reduction in duties on Cuban products
went into effect that the customs serv-
ice here has found itself fairly swamp
ed, and on an appeal to the treasury
service extra help has been allowed.
The new duties went into effect De-
cember 25, 1908. The importations for
January have been 6,177,S02, against
none in the same month last year; for
February, 29,S35,237, against 1885,
034 last year; and for twenty-three
days Of March 54,S72, 200, against s.
564,7 1S last year. The lower level is
crowded with fre;ghters bringing in
Cuban sugar, most Of which is con-
signed to the American Sugar Refining
Company. 1t is expected that the i'm
portations will continue to increase
and the customs service is making
with that expectation.

WATER IN THE RIVERS.
The Weather Bureau Sends out Special
River Bulletin.

Washington. The weather bureau

letln: The heavy rains over the cas-
tern and southern portions of the Mis-
slsslppi river watershed have caused
the usual seasonal spring rise to Set
IN over that section. Owing to the
prolonged period of low temperatures
during the past winter the spring rise
has been somewhat delayed, but rising
waters may now be expected for some
time to come. While considerable
damage has already been caused by
the smaller streams in the northern
tier OF States, there are Of course no
immediate prospects of serious floods
IN the larger rivers except the Illinois,
where the flood warnings have been is
sued. The Mississippi river is open
from Dubuque southwark, and is rap
idly rising below the mouth of the H.
llnois. A stage Of twenty-five feet is
indicated for st. Louis and at Mem
phis the danger stage Of thirty-three
feet probably will be reached with
some prospects of still higher stages
later. The upper Red river is also
rising rapidly and flood warnings have
been issued for the Arkansas section
OF that watershed.

Poll Tax Cannot Be Retained.

Through the failure of the bill to
reach the governor for his signature,
the measure putting into effect the
amendment to the Constitution of the
state providing for the various coun-
ties retaining their poll tax and apply
ing it to the school fund, this section
Of the Constitution will be imperative,
and according to the opinion Of Off
Gals here, the poll tax will have to be
returned to the state treasurer. Two
years ago a constitutional amendment
was adopted giving each county the
privilege of retaining the poll taxes
collected and of using them in the
school fund This constitutional
amendment could not go into effect
until the legislature passed bill max
ing it operative. This bill was passed
by both houses, but failed to reach the
governor for his approval or rejection
before final adjournment was taken.
There were seven other bills in the
same position. According to the Con-
stitution, the governor cannot sign a
bill during vacation, and this measure,
putting into effect the amendment in
regard to poll taxes, cannot become a
law until the next session Of the legis-
lature, when it must be returned with
the governor S veto within three days
after the session convenes, or it be-
comes law.
The common school appropriation,
by the failure to get this bill to the
governor in time for his signature, is
left in somewhat Of a muddle. One
million and quarter of dollars was
appropriated for the common schools
of the state, Exclusive of the poll
tax" and could have been retained
in the counties if the enforcing clause
to the constitutional amendment had
been signed, but with it imperative,
the poll tax must be returned to the
state treasury.

TUESDAY.

The legislature Of 1904, has passed
Into history, the curtain being rung
down at l o'clock. The joint resolu-
ton of the two houses provided for
q joint adjournment at noon, but the
presiding officers of the two houses
set their watches back an hour in or
der that they might have an opportu-
nifty to sign the bills. The House
lacked one member Of having a quo
rum, bat Speaker Thomas ruled that
he could sign bins without a quorum
being present.
There was a great deal of skirmish-
ing done on the Merger Bill, but it
was signed by both the Lieutenant
Governor and the Speaker Of the
House and was sent to the governor
for his signature. The governor did
not return the bill to the House with
his approval, and it will lay dead for
two years. II he thinks that the meas
ure is good one he can send it to
the next legislature within three days
after it meets and it will become a
law.
Along with the Merger Bill there
are number Of important measures
which will be held up for two years.
Section II of the Constitution does
not permit the governor to sign any
bills while the legislature is not in
session.
The Merger Bill, which has been
held up for two years, has had the
most stormy time Of any measure that
has been introduced this session. 1t
was fought at every turn, and only
managed to get over all the break
ers by scratch, only to lay dormant
in the governors office for two years.
1t is understood that the governor has
been overwhelmed with protests since
the bill passed He has received a
large number Of petitions and letters
asking that he veto the measure.
The closing sessions of both Houses
was sensational, the House more SO
than the Senate. Speaker Thomas took
the bit IN his teeth and said that he
considered that it was perfectly prop
er that he sign the bills with no quo
rum present, and on this idea he work

mode of procedure was entered on the

to have a quorum present this morn

THANKS RENDERED.
Jap Admiral by The Japanese House,
For Brilliant Service

Tokio.-The House Of Representa-
tives has passed with enthusiasm and
without dissenting voice a vote of
thanks to Vice Admiral Togo and his
officers for their services to the coun-
try. In his remarks the Minister of
Marine said it was no new thing to be
prepared for emergencies in time Of
peace, but that since last October the
japanese navy had been under the ne
cessity Of increasing its strength, and
had been constantly ready for action
on account of the action Of Russia.
This the minister regretted. Contin-
ing, he said it had been manifest to
every observer that Russia had con-
stantly increased her strength in the
far East, and that had Japan not pur-
chased the cruisers Nishin and Kasa-
ga from Argentine her naval strength
would have been below that Of Russia

EMINENT FIGURES.
BIG SHORTAGE REPORTED
And Cotton Manufacturers Have Lost
All Hope That Bureau Would Fore
cast Only Slight Shortage and See
Prospect for Curtailed Production.

Fall River, Mass. The governments
cotton report offers no encouragement
to local manufacturers. Instead, it
counteracts any little feeling Of salts
faction they might have entertained
after the Sully failure. That they re-
garded as the only chance for drop
in the price of the raw material. The
changes that have occurred have not
been felt here, and with an unsatis-
factory cotton report the brokers and
manufacturers are left in the unpleas-
ant position of facing another advance
IN cotton, with no corresponding in
crease in the price Of cloth to meet it.
They had hoped that the report would
show SO light shortage that it would
not be felt, and they looked for a
shance to carry on their fight for bet
ser returns from their trading.
The allowance Of Fall River is $780,
300 bales year. With shortage in
the American crop of nearly 100000
BALES, it is apparent that this city will
feel the effects severely. Added to the
shortage in the American crop is one
Of 100000 bales indicated in the Bonn
bay report. That must be made up,
and to do it English mill men are ex-
pected to turn to this country for
supply. With the market short by
100000 bales Of what the manufac-
turing world requires, it is plain, To-
cal mill men say, that those who need
the raw material will suffer. Besides,
there is smaller amount of cotton in
the hands of the farmers than there
was year ago.
With cotton going up, as the man
ufacturers say, it is bound to do with
the next figures announced, the anti
cipate trouble.
If they decide to curtail this year.
the period may be longer that it was a
year ago. On the whole, the outlook
for the city is not a bright one, for,
with wages down and mills curtailing
all branches Of business here will feel
the effects.
