New Orleans, La, May 9.--Accord-
ing to the estimate of number of ex-
tensive cane growers in the sugar belt
Louisiana should make this year
3I6, 600 tons of sugar or more. The
average crop of the state is 250, 600
tons. Last year only 225, 900 tons
were made. 1t is not believed that
the short crop in Cuba will have any
effect on the price of the Louisiana
product, for the best crop is as large
as usual.

Washington, ID. c., May Sit now
begins to look very much as though
Senator Charles A. Culberson has the
best chance of being chosen minority
leader in the Senate next December.
According to report Senator Culberson
now claims he has enough pledges
from Democratic associates to secure
his election. Senator Culberson is
now serving his second term in the
upper branch of the national legisla-
ture and there are few members of
that body of wider political exper-
ience. He has been in public life
continuously since 1890 in which year
he was elected attorney general of
Texas. subsequently he served four
years as governor of his state and he
has been in the Senate since 1899.
He comes by his inclination for po-
litics naturally, as his father was a
member of Congress from Texas for
twenty-five years.

Washington, September 1--tspecial)-- Representative J. l.. Burnett of Alabama, q member of the congressional immigra- ton commission, which has been abroad for two months seeking information upon which mig 't be based additional im- misraton/ slslation. arrived in New York on / Cedric today and is in Wash ington / light en route home. He be- lieVes the only solution of the immigra- lion problem is the educational test re- quiring each immigrant to he able to read ana write his own or some other lan- guage. This, he declares, will cut off i5 per cent of the undesirable immigrants, most of whom come from Asia Minor, Southern Italy and Sicily.
 Not 60 per cent of these people can read or write" said Judge Burnett to- night. and it Is of the utmost importance 10 this country that they be shut from our shores, especially from Sicily. Our immigrant Is ignorant and vicious He is coming to the United States on every steamer and should be stopped. In Sicily, l remember going through a vertically deserted town now inhabited by only old men and women. The young and middle aged men were here, sending money back to support them.
 'In the so-called brigand country made inquiries as to the whereabouts of lUt lhWltSE tltiiltul ana luNdTldbiN fp- ceived the reply gone to America. The Syrian immigrant is even worse 1 found many of them who could not possibly get through under our present drastic laws, and frankly admitted fheY wero on their way to Mexico or Canada, with the intention of eventually reaching tho United States that way. The immigrant from Germany is undoubtedly the best we get and unfortunately comparatively few of the Germans care to come to this county. They are prosperous where they are.
 We cannot get too many immigrants of the right sort from Germany. northern Italy, Switzerland and the British Isles, but in proportion to their desirablity fol- lows an inclination to remain at home"
 Judge Burnett. while not in a position to speak for other members Of the com mission. intlmates that there has been little change in the views of it's several members and thinks it improbable that there can be a unanimous report in fa- Yor of an educational test such as he proposes or any other unanimous report upon which Legislation may be based
 The commissioned gathered a vast quan- tity of valuable information at first hand which will make interesting reading for their fellow members this winter.

New York, September 7.-(Speeial. Miss Julia Kuttners statement of the reasons for Ferdinand Pinney Earles separation from his wife by agreement in order to marry her. was followed by a statement of Earle himself. Together these state ments constitute a startling commentary on the institution of marriage as iE has come to be regarded.
 'I corroborate and ndorse everything that Miss Kuttner has made in her state ment." said Earle today
 Miss Kuttner says your wife was an enigma to you." was suggested.
 Yes" he replied. "she was. Ii was not that she disagreed with my socialism or my painting, but there were racial diff ferences and her temperament clashcd with mine. There are people In Monroe who know all the facts. My wife went to them and told them the entire story. Just before all this trouble a friend of mine came to me and said: Earle. you and your wife ought 10 be able to live happily Any man ought 10 be able to live happily with her. She is a fine woman.'
 ''I told him I knew that much better than he did. My wife is a splendid woman and have been brutal to her, but unintentonallY brutal. As ] said last night. these stories about my having blackened my wfe's eyes are untrue, but l will say that IF matters had continued as they were l believe we both would have been dead.

POPULAR WITH THE PEOPLE

Washington. September 7.-( Specially You may talk of Bryan all you will. but Bryan Is not the man who can lead the democratic party to victory at this crisis" said Robert H Singerly of Min neapolis tonight. Up in Minneapolis be believe we have the man who can do more for democracy than any one yet mentioned a s the possible nominee of the next democratic national con vention, and that man is Governor John A. Johnson of our state. His popular ity in his own state has been proved on more than one occa sion. He Is a man of such sound judgment and such loyalty to the rights of the people that his fame long ago went out into the whole country making him a national figure with which the democratic party must reckon.
 In his campaign for governor when first before the people Mir Johnson car ried the state by majority of 75e. This may seem small in the total ote of such state as Minnesota. but en you bear in mind that President Roose- welt at the same time carried the state by 161 .000 ma jority, the fact that John son was elected at all was wonderful. But to win with a majority of four figures In the face of the overwh elming popularity Of Roosevelt indicates the personal esteem in which governor Johnson is held where he Is known
 Tn his second campaign. when the Roosevelt strength was not factor, !, Governor Johnson won by the very handsome majority of 76.633 votes. What such democratic governors as Hoke Smith in Georgia, Conner in Ala barna, and Glenn in North Carolina have been doing in the south Johnson has been doing in the north. He has been persistent in his campaign against railroad extortion and has done much to curb the corporations that have op- pressed the people,"

 The century stakes was one big gal lop for Ballot. He led all the way. Me- Carter, Frank Gill and Ironsides took turns going at him, but none of them got near enough to scare the packers of Ballot. McCarter quit early and Frank Gill seemed to lie sure on second until Ironsdes came with a rush through the stretch and nosed him out of the place money.

 the Consequences.
PROMPT ACTION PLANNED

Paris, September 7.--(Special Cable1- The most interesting development in the Moroccan situa tion Is the proba billty of A. battle between the armies of the pre- tender and the present Sultan in the vi- cinity of Rabat. on the Atlantic coast. and half way between Fez and Morocco City. Both Abdul Aziz and Mulai Hang have issued impassioned appeals 10 lhe patriotism of their followers. and have mustered forces of considerable strength. therefore the coming battle will probably nave decisive effect on the future of Morocco. The fear that Germany would object to the policing of Moroccan ports by France and Spain has been dspelled by Germany's reply 10 their circular note addressed to the signatories of the Age ciras conference. The reply made af- hcially, 1t is true, has not vet been re- ceived, but it has been learned from an authoritative source that the reply will make allowance for the present extraor- dnary situation and that France and Spain will be given al lthe latitude neees- sary to preserve the security of Euro peans in Morocco
 The government has not changed it's at titude on the question of sending a mill tary expedition into the interior of Moroc- co. The last announcement made on the subject was that France intended to abide by the terms of the Algeciras convention, but the planne doccupation of principal Moroccan ports by the tropos of France and Spain, may necessitate sending heavy endorsements to Taugler and Casa Blanca not not for the purpose of con quering the Moroccans, but in order to restore order.
 special dispatch from Casa Blanca to- day announces that the various Moorish tribes around the place had asked the French commander to suspend hostliti $ for the purpose of negotiating peace. The general, 1t Is added, agreed to remain in- active until tomorrow when he will march on Taddert. It is believed tribesmen are only striving to gain time.

Washington, September 7,--(Speoal.l-At this season of the year there are usually half hundred congressman in Wash ington doing chores for their constituents. There Is not half q dozen now. Along m the fall it used to be the regular thing for a congressman to suddenly find ont that one of his constituents needed some thing up here that couldn't be gotten by correspondence with the officials. There would be a hurried packing up, the coun- try paper would point out what an accom- modatng representative Mir. Congress- man was and II was off to Washington for week two

or the other one about Jonah being swal- lowed by a whale.
 What a good thing this will be for my paintings" he repeated after pause. My name will be brought before the public as II never was before. People who look upon a picture which bears the signature of Ferdinand Pinney Earle will purchase 1t. It may mean thousands of dollars to me-
 It was suggested that Earle might write a hook "G may possibly" he admitted We have often talked over this matter and agreed that it might do for book. When my wife and l found that we were unable to understand each other we read all sorts of works on the mar riage relations. We studied the question from the scientific standpoint"
 Meanwhile another phase of the case is still agitating the village of Monroe, \. Y. where Earle lives and where pre- sumablv, Miss Kuttner will be taken as the second Mrs. Earle In due time. Pub lie indignation still runs high there and the villagers are still strong in their de- termination to visit punishment upon Earle A pot Of tar stands beside a bundle of feathers, and a line of pickets has been established to give instant warning of the return of Earle to his estate.
 Realizing the danger of the situation President Pattleford of the village tried today to swear in twenty-five special deputies to preserve the peace. He ad- mitted he could not find anyone who would serve in that capacity. so united is the sentiment against Earle.
 Thereupon the village president issued q call to the ministers of Monroe to preach sermons tomorrow counsellns againts violence and disorder.
 Earle continued today to occupy his mothers apartments In New York He denied he was afraid to return to Monroe.
