BEET SUGAR MEN
FIGHT PAYNE BILL
Oppose Passage of Measure
in Present Form.
DANGEROUS C0MPE TITI0N
Grower Tells Senate Committee That
Importations From Island Would
Endanger Home Industry.
DANGEROUS MPET ITI0N

Truenan q. Palmer, OF the National
Beet Sugar Growers Association, mp
peaFed before the Senate committee in
charge OF the Payne tariff bill today
and entered a protest against the pas
sage OF the measure in its present form
Mr. Palmer produced statements made
by Senators Allison ard Aldrich and the
late Senator Hoar on the Senate floor
as evidence that when The Dingley tarin
bill was passed by Congress IL was the
understanding that the beet sugar in
dustry was to be encouraged by keep
ing a high tariff on ssiya..
He said that he cou not understand
the change of attit;- &c W this Congress
in proposing TO admit The cheap, and
what he believed 90 be an inferior, quail
ity of sugar from the islands. He read
from the Congressional Record paTt OF
an address on the Dingley tariff bill made
by Representative Serene z Payne OF
New York, wherein Mr. Payne said that
Congress proposed TO keep up the sugar
schedule to be then enforced, and thus
encourage the development of the beet
sugar industry at home.
The First Departure.
The first departure from this promise
that the beet sugar growers unders tood
Congress had made was the admittapce
of Cuban and HaT allan sugars to the
United States free nf duty. This, ne said,
was not seriously Eel. in this country,
but he was confident that IL such con-
cession were made 10 the Philippine
islands the beet sugar industry OF
this country would not expand, hut, on
the other hand. it would be practically
wiped out altogether.
Senators Long and Dubois tried 10
bring the witness out as TO how much
sugar would have to be imported from
the Philippines to supply the demand
in this country. Mr.. Palmer said he
could not say, but he thought the pos
sibilities of both Cuba and the islands
TO grow sugar Deets was such that II
would, in connection with Hawaii,
grow enough beets 10 produce sufs-
cient amount 10 supply the demand
Home Industry Threatened.
Asked by Senator Lodge what sugar
was superseded by the Cuban sugar,
Mr.. Palmer said it was the European
product. In like manner the admit
lance of Philippine sugar TO the United
States, he said would Gisplease first
the full tariff sugar and then the home
| Industry.
He took exception TO the statements
| advanced by Secretar! Taft that the
beet sugar growers OF the United
States were seeing ghosts" end class
ed them as 'moonshiner.;" He said
that the output of the hGrse sugar fac
tories this year was 800, &c tons, but
that their capacity was 100000 tons
He went into detail regarding the su-
gar output of Hawaii. exp aiming both
the developments OF the cane and beet
sugar industry.

IS DEDICATED
Cardinal Gibbons Partici-
pates Amid Pomp and
Ceremony

magnificent new st. PauIs Roman
Catholic cathedral, at Fifth avenue
and Craig street, was formally dedi-
Gated today amid much pomp and
ceremony, and the eloquent sermon by
Cardinal Gibbons that followed was
heard by fully 1000 people. The dedi-
catory services proper were COM
menced early in the forenoon, when
his eminence, in his scarlet robes, at
tended by archbishops and bishops
CARRIED in purple, and scores of white
robed priests, entered upon the formal
duties according to the requirements
of the church ritual for such occa-
sions. The stately walls. roofs. pill
lars. and every part of the massive
building, were blessed and sprinkled
with holy oils and perfuned waters.
On the floor ashes were strewn in the
shape of a cross, and therein Bishop
Canevin inscribed the letters Of the
Latin and Greek alphabet, symbolical
Of the fact that the edif1ce was conse-
Grated to God for and on behalf of
the people of all nations.
When the formal ceremonies had
been concluded the doors were thrown
open to the public, and the crowd be-
gan pouring in. Mass was then cele-
brated in the presence of the cardinal
and prelates. The music was a con-
spicuous part of the ceremonies. The
musical program was under the direc-
choir. a priests choir and the Ca

Description of the Cathedral.
The new cathedral has been over
two years in building, and an almost
fabulous sum of money has been spent
in it's construction. The edifce has
two large spires. and in this and sew
eral other respects closely resembles
the celebrated cathedral OF Cologne
1t is an example Of pure Gothic archi-
lecture. 1t is the only cathedral in
America to have the double clerestory
arrangement. The pulpit stands in
the middle of the building, between
the entrance and the sanctuary. In
stead of at the end. To enable all
members of the congregation to face
the pulpit the backs Of the pews be-
tween that point and the altar are re-
versible.
From the face of the towers to the
sanctuary the distance is 220 feet, and
the inside width of the transepts is
1873 feet. The width between the main
walls is 100 feet, and the height from
the floor to the apex of the nave is rs
feet.
The walls are of a pale ivory tinge
while the affairs are constructed Of
Carrara marble. In contrast with
them Is the rich dark beauty of the
woodwork, which is of Tihony, Inn
ported from Ireland. The pews are
richly carved, and the confessionals
are embellished with exquisite scroll
work and traceries. The memomrial
windows are massive and many color
ed. The main white marble altar of

columns, which support each cleres-
tory. a.

SPEED TEST OF
new WAR SHIPS
Minnesota Will Make Run
New England Waters
Today

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The pre-
liminary trial Of the Minnesota, one
Of the most powerful battleships ever
built for the United States navy, takes
place today over the official course In
New England waters. Her trial will
be made to determine how, well she
steams, whether her machinery works
smoothly and approximately what her
speed is. The ship is reported as fit
as race horse, and that she will meet
and exceed the requirements of the
contract is regarded as a certainty by
naval experts who have closely watch
ed her progress from the day her keel
was laid down in the yards Of the
Newport News Shipbuilding company.
Particular interest attaches to the
trial of the Minnesota because it is
the first for the new ships upon which
there was the stipulation Of an extra
trial for speed of four hourS duration
over measured course. The ship
will be tried according to the stand
ardized screw method in accordance
with the current practice, that meth
cd having heretofore given satisfac-
tory results. The wording of the con-
tract for the construction Of. the Min
nesota is different from the wording
Of the contracts for ships which have
recently had their trials, the require
ments being that the ship shall be sub
jected to a speed trial Of four hours
duration.
Other battleships of the same class
as the Minnesota which will be tested
soon are the Kansas and the Vermont.
Each Of these is expected to have her
trials before the end of the present
year. All three must maintain a speed
of at least Is knots an hour. The
Vermont is at the Fore River ship
yard: the Kansas at the yard OF the
New York Shipbuilding company at
Camden, N. ].

Description Of the Ships.

The Minnesota, the Kansas and the
Vermont are each of $4,000 tons dis
placement and have 1880 indicated
horsepower. Each is 456 feet long,
has rs feet 10 inches beam, and draws
"a feet inches Of water. These ships
have two military masts fitted for
wireless telegraphy and three tunnels.
Their appearance is considerably diff
ferent from the battleships of the
Massachusetts type, which is much
smaller. The older type has the low
free board, whereas the larger ships
are high out Of water The older ships
have but two tunnels. The Alabama
class resembles the Minnesota more
closely. although the tunnels of that
type are two in number and are placed
abreast. 1t win take $40 officers and
bluejackets to man each of the new
ships. against $50 for ship like the
Massachusetts,
The Minnesota and her sister ships
will carry an armament of four 12-
inch and eight S-inch breech- loading
rifles in turrets and twelve finch
breech-loading rifles in broadside bat
teries, besides twenty 3-inch rapid
fire guns, twelve 3-pounder rapid
firers and eight 1-pounder guns. There
are also to be on board two 3-inch
field guns six 80 calibre automatic
and two 80 calibre, Maxim pieces for
the use Of landing parties. This is a
much more effective outfit of guns

long, being similar in shape to an in
