crops are expected TO show a smaller
outturn than last year, including de-
creases Of $4,000 tons in Louisiana, TO-
600 tons in Mexico and 5000 tons in
Java. A production Of 100000 tons
in Cuba is expected providing weather
conditions prove to be normal. By
combining the probable new beet and
cane sugar crops we see that yields
promise to surpass previous records.
In other words, the production in 1905
O6 is likely to be 11,728,OOO tons
against 1904-O5 crops Of 9,4s1,73 tons,
or an increase Of 2,246,264 tons, and
against the largest previous produc-
tion of 11,OO2, ,426 tons, which was the
outturn Of the 19O1.O2 campaign. In
the latter campaign the total estimates
were: Cane, 4.O7s,9l4 tons; European,
beet. 6,7OO.35O tons, and American beet
265,O0 tons, while for 19O5-06 the to-
tai estimates are: Cane, 4,013,OOO tonsj
European, beet, 6,55O,OOO tons, and
American beet 265,000 tons, showing
10000 tons smaller production Of beet
in Europe but increases Of 100000 tons
in the American beet crop and $4,000
tons in the cane crops Of the world
for 1oO5.O6, compared with 19O1-O2.
Although willett s Gray look for a
larger consumption next year, they
say the visible stocks are now abund.
ant. and the increase Of more than
100000 tons in the production is
likely to cause much pressure to sell

PROBLEM
OF LIFE

The creation Of life also seems an.
duly TO exercise scientific writers in
lay journals. There has been a per.
sistent tendency 20 consider the aTti.
heial fertilization Of ovums OF low or.
ganisms as a creation Of life. How
and why such a false idea should have
embedded itself in the public mind is
one of the mysteries which no one
can explain. PaTthenOgenesis, or the
development Of a female cell without
a eonjugation with a male cell, Is
a very common phenomenon In lower
organisms, though II is invariably fol
lowed by sexual reproduction sooner
or later It's cause is unknown, but il
can be artifeially checked by certain
means, such as changes Of food, or
temperature, so that sexual reprOdue-
ton becomes necessary at once II
was no doubt a great discovery that
partial paTthenOgenesis could be
caused artifeially by certain changes
in environment or by chemicals which
rejuyenate the cell in the same way
as eOnjugatiOn, yet it is strange that
this should also be called creation
OF life. There are now press reports
that botanist has discovered that the
regeneration OF seaweeds is due to the
action Of external forces, and has as
sumed that the similar phenomenon in
animals, such as the regeneration Of
the amputated parts of Holsters, is
also due to purely physical forces.
This, 10, has been enlarged into a
statement that the life problem is be-
ing solved. If this tendency continues
We must expect every biOlOgie investi.
CATION TO be heralded as a contribution
to the one great OvershadOwing task /
Of creating a living thing in the
laboratory. There are problems vastly |
more important than the origin Of life

abroad slightly exceeded the importa-
lions of rice.
Rice cultivation in the United States
has become an important industry.
During the fiscal year 1899 the produe-
ton was $50, 2S0, 221 pounds, the land IN
der rice cultivation was 342,218 acres.
This year it is calculated that the yield
viii be about z7000O,OOO pounds. the land
planted with rice being 643. 400 acres.
Notwithstanding this large increase it
is still insufficient to meet the home de-
mand.
Before 1860 the rice production in the
United States was practically limited to
the alIuYiaI lands of the Carolinas,
Georgia, Florida, and Louisiana When
labor conditions were altered after the
civil war the production in the eastern
states decreased considerably. When
machinery was adapted to rice produc-
ton and it was discovered that the
prairie lands of southwestern Louisiana
and southern Texas. with their impervi-
Gus subsoils, would dry before the rice
harvest sufficiently to support machine
ry there was revolution in the rice
industry.
Fifteen years ago there was scarcely
a barrel OF. commercial rice produced in
what is now known as the prairie rice
section Of Texas, which extends 400
miles along the Gulf coast and contains
some of the most fertile lands on this
continent. These lands were then val
ued at % cents to $3.50 per acre. Today
improved lands are worth on an aver
age $3.50 per acre. Within the terri-
tory there are about 80 rice mills with a
daily capacity of over 10000 barrels of
rice.
BY 1898 the canal and the deep-well
system of irrigation had been satisfac-
torily tested, and the rice industry was
rapidly extending along safe lines. At
this date if was found that too large
a percentage of the machine-handled
rice was liable to breakage in milling.
The attention of the United States de-
partment of agriculture was called to
this fact, and measures were immedi-
ately taken to remedy the defect and to
overcome the difficulty by the introduc-
ton of new varieties. The departments
work resulted in the introduction of a
variety from Japan known as Kiushu,
which has given very satisfactory re-
suits.

AUNT SUSAN PROTESTS
Miss Anthony Strongly Opposes Reso
luton Regarding Divorce.

Washington, April 14.-Over the bitter
protest of Miss Susan B. Anthony, the
National Council of Women today
adopted a resolution pledging the or
ganization to cooperate with church
and state to ascertain what are the chief
causes which induce or lead up to di-
vorce.
''I do not consider divorce an evil by
any means" asserted Miss Anthony,
who was on her feet before the reading
Of the resolution had been concluded.
1T is just as much a refuge for women
married to brutal men as Canada was
once a refuge from brutal masters. I
will never vote for resolution that will
cut women off from refuge from design
ing and brutal men"
The council adopted formally the
-polygany resolution favorably re-
ported from committee yesterday; also
a resolution deploring the horrors of
war in general and particularly the
present war in the far east. The coun-
ell pledged itself through resolution to
establish and maintain kindergarten
and day nurseries for the poorer classes
of colored children.

A SPECIAL COMMISSION
Named by the President to Deal With
International Water Rights.

Washington, April 1.-THE presi-
dent has appointed a special commits
sion to deal with three important
questions which have arisen relative
to the diversion and interference with
the course of international rivers.
This commission consists of Judge
Penfeld, solicitor for the state de-
partment; Special Assistant Attorney
General NJ. c. Burch and Prof F. II.
Newell, of the geological survey, and
has just had its first meeting.
All the questions before the COM
mission have formed the subject Of
extensive correspondence between the
state department and Mexico on the
south and the Dominion of Canada, as
represented by Great Britain on the
north.
On the south there is the long stand
ing controversy growing out of the
damming of the Rio Grande and the use
of the waters of the upper river for irri-
eating purposes in American territory
to the injury of the Mexican farmers on
the right bank of the river. The Mexi-
cans claim that the Rio Grande is navi-
gable and consequently that this diver
sion of the water is in violation of in
ternational law.
To the westward the commission is
to deal with the Colorado river where
the upper waters in American territory
also are about to be diverted, to the
loss of the Mexican ranches in lower
California
On the north the Milk river projects
in Montana have alarmed the Cana
dians Arising in the United States this
river flows into Canada and back again
into Montana The Canadians have
been making large use of the waters on
their side which had led to project by
the people of Montana to cut out the
entire bend in the river on the Cana
dian side by a canal, the effect Of which
would be to completely deprive the Ca
nadians of water.

national law relative to riparian rights.

WHY MERRIAM DIED.
Hint of Cause for His suicide in
Boston Failure.

Boston, April 1.-THE Mystic Print
and Dye works, a New Jersey corpor-
alton located in Medford. was placed
in the hands of a receiver today on
petition of the Locke Coal company
Of Maiden and others. John Street,
treasurer of the Mystic company, was
named as receiver.
Clarence NJ. Merriam a we'll known
Kansas man and Boston investor,
who committed suicide here Tuesday,
is named by the petitioners in their
statements fled with the court. Mer-
RAM it was alleged, had been given
$4,000 in demand and promissory
notes by the Mystic company under an
engagement that he was not to sell
or transfer them until he had accom-
phshed the sale of $4,000 in bonds
which the company had decided to
issue.
The petitioners allege further that
the holders of these notes which can
not be located would proceed against
the Mystic company and that this
might cause the company embarrass-
ment. It was stated that the COM
pany owes $4,000 and has assets Of
100000. Merriam was the manager
of an eastern agency of the Merriam

GARFIELD IS BUSY.
Begins Taking Of Evidence at Santa
Fe Onices.

J. r. Garfield, commissioner of cor
porations and labor of the United
States, who is in Kansas investigating
Standard Oil, is today taking evidence
at the Santa F'e Offices.
Mr.. Garfield this forenoon paid a
visit to Mr. J. r. KOontz, general
freight agent, at the general office
building and went over a number Of
rate matters with him.
This afternoon Mr.. Garfield, together
with his assistants, is at Mr.. Koontz S
Office going through the freight tariffs
for the past few years and making a
record Of the matters found, to be pre-
scented to President Roosevelt.
Mr. Garfield Will doubtless cover the
same ground that was covered in the
Monnett investigation, and it is likely
that he will get the facts and informa-
ton more thoroughly and accurately
It is understood that the railway Of
ficials have no intention of throwing
any hindrance or obstacle in the way
of Commissioner Garfield in his efforts
to get at the facts in the oil rate con-
troversy.
The railway officials have taken the
attitude that in view of the fact that
the Investigation is going to be made
they will do all in their power to assist,
if the investigation is carried out in a
fair manner.

General Freight Agent Koontz today.

NUDGE OUT OF CITY.
Other Officials YIN Say Little Of
strike.

General Manager n. u Nudge is
out of the city today, and it has been
almost impossible to get a statement
of any kind from Santa Fe officials in
regard to the strike
The management of the shops at the
various points on the Santa Fe system
is directly under Alfred Lowell, super
intendent of motive power, and he re-
ports direct to J. W. Kendrick, third
vice president of the system.
John Purcell. superintendent or the
local shops, takes up all matters OF
this character with the officers at Chi
cagO, and all knowledge of trouble is
denied by the officials at the general
office building.
Alfred Lowell was in Topeka yester-
day and left last night to go to
Chicago.
An omcial at the general Office
building said today: If Mr. Lowell
among the boilermakers. he said
nothing of it to me. Whether or not
he knew of any trouble and whether
he took it UP with Mr.. Nudge, 1 don
know, and Mr.. Nudge is not here
today
The same man disclaimed that
there was any serious trouble. "The
Santa Fe," he said, discharged about
twenty-five men several weeks ago
on account of a scarcity Of work. The
olScHtlISe OF the men To-Day, L am TOLD
was for the same reason.
IF the boilermakers had any griev-
ance, they have not made it known to
the officials at Topeka"
/ The boiler shop of the Santa Fe in
! Topeka is what is known as an open
shop. Both union and non-union men
are employed, but the union men who
are employed are not working under a
contract and have no more rights and
privileges than the non-union men.
The machinists who went on a strike
against the Santa Fe about a year ago
have talked for a long time in an effort
1 to get the union men in the Santa Fe
boilershops to quit work in sympathy
with the maehinists, but the effort has
( been unsuccessful.
A Santa Fe man declares that the
| trouble will end with the proceedings
of this forenoon. There has been no
trouble at any of the other shop points,
and I do not anticipate that there VIII
be any further trouble in Topeka" he
said. .ssi

EXPLOSION ON SYLPH.
Two Men Seriously Hurt on the
Presidents Yacht.

Norfolk, Va, April 14.-The Nor
gan line steamship Ell Cid passed in
the Virginia capes today towing the
presidents yacht Sylph, aboard of
which an explosion occurred seriously
injuring two men.
Ell Cid towed the SyIph into Hamp-
ton Roads and Admiral Harrington,
commanding the Norfolk navy yard,
ordered a naval tug to proceed at once
to tow the yacht to Norfolk The
Sylph was at the time of the accident
on her way to her regular station at
Washington from Florida waters
where she recently had aboard Mrs.
Roosevelt and her children. Mrs.
Roosevelt and party. however, left
the Sylph at Jacksonville and pro-
ceeded to Washington some days ago.
The Sylph upon sighting the FL Cid at
see. gave signals of distress and the
Morgan liner Immediately came to her
assistance and towed her into the har-
bOr
