heroes would have been, in dying, il they
could have seen through the veil of time
the honors which awaited them. All ol
Thorofare came home at night delighted
with the speeches, and the ceremonies; and
with the hospitality which had been ac
corded them. All are mourning that Red
Bank has no more battle6elds, and, posi-
bly,, there be no more monuments TO unveil
But they must live in hope, Americans are
noted for their professions, and public eere-
monies Of various kinds. At all events il
was good thing TO have the monument

RICKSHAW MEN
OPPOSE CABLE CARS.

When the Nippon Maru left Shang-
hal the foreign residents there were
preparing for trouble on a wholesale
scale with the rickshaw men. The
rickshaw man for generations has en-
joyed monopoly OF the passenger
transportation business In Shanghai.
He Is about five thousand strong. so
competition is keen and he is com
PEELED to hustle to make n living.
He is now threatened with extinction
by the cable car. A franchise has been
granted for a modern street car ser
vice, and the work of laying tracks
was to have been commenced shortly
after the Nippon's departure. The five
thousand rickshaw men formed union
and signified their intention of oppos-
ing with their lives, If necessary the
Introduction of the cars. They would
tear up the tracks, they said. They
made other threats.
The foreign residents want the cable
cars and have guaranteed protection
for the men engaged in installing the
system. At each foreign concession Is
maintained an armed guard made up
of volunteers. These Irregular troops
have been recruited to their full
strength and when the 5000 rickshaw
men turn themselves loose they will
find themselves up against the citizen
soldiery of as many nations as have
concessions In Shanghai. The rick
shaw men say that cable cars will
never be allowed to operate in Shang-
hal. The foreign residents say the
rickshaw men are mistaken.
I'VE expected when we arrived here
said one OF the Nlppon's officers. ito
learn that Shanghai streets had been
In blood. The rlckshaw men
were in earnest and so We're the for
eigners, and both sides were ready for

1BE SUGAR QUESTION /

AS might be expected. the trouble in
Cuba has started up the price of sugar,
the refiners fearing that shipments
from the island may be curtailed In
those circumstances higher price
would have to be paid for raw sugar
in order to secure a supply from Eu-
rope and the East Indies to make up
the Cuban deficiency. In the last ifs
cal year we imported from foreign
class the Philippines as
foreign source because there is Gus
tom duty on all sugar brought into
the United States from those islands
almost 4,000,00O,00O pounds of sugar, the
exact figures being 3979,33l ,4S0. Prac-
tically all of this sugar Is unrefined.
being under No. 16 Dutch standard in
color. OF these imports from all sources
Cuba contributed 27Sl.90l $3.50 pounds,
valued at more than 100000, 900. The
Pearl of the Antilles supplied us with
more than 10 per cent. of all the sugar
purchased in foreign parts, the Dutch
East Indies standing second In import
ance. Hawaii sent us about 10000 600
pounds, and Porto Rico about 100000
900 pounds. There is no reason to ex-
pect that should the Cuban crop be
greatly reduced our own insular possess
sions could furnish us with much more
sugar than they now do. and 1t would
take a long time to enlarge the cane
sugar output of Louisiana and Texas
or the beet sugar product of the west
ern states. Since the close of the war
with Spain our commerce with Cuba
has shown a large and steady growth,
and 1t will be very unfortunate for the
Cubans II this is to be checked by the
revolution. II will also be unfortunate
for our own country If the Cuban sugar
crop is curtalled. as that means An in
