Philippine Sugar Tariff.

James d. Hill, speaking for the Lou
isiana sugar planters, before the House
Committee on Ways and Means in OPP
position to the proposed reduction OF
tariff on sugar from the Philippines to
rs per cent. of the Dingley rates, said
in answer to questions, that the large
crops of last year after the Cuban reci-
procity act went into effect, were due to
the favorable conditions which prevailed,
and that the increased price of sugar
was due to the abolition of the cartel
system and the bounty fed sugar OF
Europe. He urged that the reduction
of tariff on Philippine sugar would in
crease the products of the island,
where sugar can be grown at much less
cost than in the United States.

ANXIOUS TO RETURN TO Chicago.
IIoch Says He viii Not Fight Extradition

New York (SpeciaD Johann Hoch,

ment, after search extending over the

Treaties With Nicaragua.

Senior Corea, the Nicaraguan minister,
personally notified Acting Secretary
Loomis that he had received from his
government the necessary powers to
conclude two treaties with the United
States to replace those denounced by
the Nicaraguan government about
year ago as Anticipated and no longer
serviceable. The first, upon which some
work has already been done, is treaty
of commerce, amity and friendship, and
the second is an extradition treaty.
Neither will present any novel feature,
but the conventions will be representa-
tive of the latest types of international
agreements of this character.

$4,000 Killed and Wounded.

Toxic (By Cable).-The casualties
during the fighting at Chenchiehpao and
Heikoutai are estimated at 5000 on the
side of the japanese and 10000 on the
Russian side.
Russian activity on the Shallhe River
seemed to have ceased after the fights
at Chenchiehpao and Heikoutai, where
the Japanese were victorious. The OBJ
ject of the operations is not clearly
understood here, but it is suggested
that the Russians either intended to
turn the Japanese left and move heavy
force down west of the Lao river or
were seeking to divert attention from
some projected operation against the
Japanese right.
1t is reported that the weather is
warmer since January rs, but it is still
extremely cold, so that it is impossible
to expose the troops at night.
The Toxic press expressed the opin-
ion that General Kuropatkin either or
dered the movement to divert attention
from the domestic conditions in Rus
STA, or that he had planned to make a
fight before Field Marshal Oyama had
been heavily reinforced.
There has been no great change in
the direction of the right and centre
armies since the night of January 2S ex-
cept constant collisions between recon-
noitering parties. In the direction of
the left army the enemy keeps up a
slow but constant cannonaSe.
The enemy's main body at Chenchieh-
pao and Heikoutai seems to have re-
treated in the direction of Neinyupao,
which is two miles west of Changtan
and Subfangati. AT point 10 miles
northwest of Changtan the enemy left
many dead.
The details of the fighting at Chen
chiehpao and Heikoutai have not yet
been reported.
