WILL BUCK
SUGAR TRUST

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 3l.-Tex-
as is preparing to buck" the sugar
trust by going into the growing OF
sugar cane and refining of sugar on
a large scale. The Penitentiary
Board has recommended and the gov
ernor has approved a plan to pur-
chase two OF the largest sugar plant
ations in this State. These consist
of the Cunningham plantation, known
as Sugarland, and the Riddick plant
alton. both in Fort Bend county
When this deal is consummated, the
State of Texas will be the largest
single sugar producer In the South
west.
This proposed action grows out oil
the fact that since slavery was abol'
ished the cane sugar industry has
been largely carried on by convict
labor. by means Of system of leases.
This system has long been a sore
spot in Texas, and persistent rumors
have gone up and down the State
about the treatment of the conyicts
SO leased Under the new arrange
ment. the handling Of the convict
labor will be done directly by the
State. and its regulation will be en-
tirey under control of the State leg
! islature.
The Sugarland plantation is one
of rhe finest of the kind in the South
II consists OF $4,000 acres, OF whicn
10000 are under cultivation. Some
six or eight thousand are in sugar
and the remainder I'll corn, cotton
and fodder crops. Seine thirteen oil
fourteen hundred acres are under ir
rigation from the Brazos river.
The mills have a capacity OF 90,
600 900 pounds of sugar annually anc
during the sugar season. this grea
plant gives employment TO an army
l og 900 workers. The plant consists
of a refinery, and two sugar mills, al
equipped with the latest machinery
of a store. boarding house, restaurant
cooper shop, besides the 1900 fertile
acres. The refinery produces 500 t
ZOO barrels of refined sugar daily.
AS the output OF the State Sugal
Refinery and plantation will be verl
large. there is reason to hope that !
will be able to wage a successful war
fare against the sugar trust, espe
cially since it is against the law t
sell trust made products openly II
Texas, and secret contracts by job
bers in trust-made sugar would sool
be shown up. Beneath the shelte
of the State, smaller refneries ma
} also be able to compete with tn
sugar trust in other States.
There are already a number oil ST
gar mills in Texas. The development
has been especially rapid nea
Brownsville, and along the HI
J Grande in the last few years.

THE CHINESE
NEW YEAR

New York, Jan. 31.-Chinatown Is |
agog for the celebration of the de-
parture of the Old and the advent OF
the New Chinese Year. The New
Year, 4605. Chinese reckonings, comes |
in at midnight tonight. The Chinese
pay homage to the departing as well !
as the approaching year; for they |
hold that, as the fate of man hangs
on the smile or frown of a departing
ancestor, so 1t is with the passing
years-they should be smiling as they
go
So. Mott Doyer and Pell streets are
prepared to illuminate tonight from
end TO end. With the Chinese colony
in New York, numbering 10000 indi-
yiduals, the New Years celebration
lasts about a week. During that time
there will be little business trans
acted. The celebration is almost en-
tirely social II is a time of feast
ing and music. Every caller is treat
ed to birds-nest soup, sharks fins,
J fish maws, Chinese candy and pre-
serves, picked eggs and many other
strange concoctions.
! From house to house, stroll the 1T
! tie groups; and, although chinese
children are kept pretty close at home
all the rest of the year. at New Years
time they are seen in the street In
great numbers, ali of them dressed
in the very best pantaloons and jack
cts that their parents can afford.
Noise is an essential part OF
Chinese festival Of any kind. Fire
crackers, big and little, are exploded
| in great quantities. Intermingling
with this roar, is the clang OF gongs,
the clashing of cymbals, the beating
of queer little pigskin drums, and
sounds from the harsh and untuned
fiageolets and shrill flutes. Only d
SON of the Flowery Kingdom can rec
ognize in this noise a semblance TO
music.
The Chinese theater in Doyer street
has been closed the past three days,
to give the actors an opportunity TO
celebrate the New Year. During the
coming week, they will have little
chance for rest or recreation, Iof
the New Year is the harvest time for
Chinese managers and Thespians. To
morrow. the theater will reopen with
a matinee. the only daylight perform
lance given in all the year. The pay,
chosen from the company's repertoire
of 400 Yuen plays, is pretty trfie
called. Sixteen Mandarins, Only
Three Bad" 1t is one of the so-called
} king plays, which means, among oth,
er things, that the actors will all
wear their most gorgeous costumes
which are very beautiful fabrics. Fol-
: the New Years matinee, the orches
} ira will be augmented by the add
ton of six pairs of brass gongs and
FIVE tom-toms.
Not the least of the New Year Ger
emonies of the Chinese, is the wor
ship of their throneless King Confu
: cius. With them he takes the place
, of Mohammed or Buddha. Bales o
red prayer slips have been prepar
ed to appeace the gods.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
In spite Of the talk that Will

some other candidate for the
nomination for the Presidency,
Mr.. Bryan is today easily t h e
most popular man in the Demn-
cratic party with u vast and idol

other. If the Republican Manag-
ers think it is going to bea holi-

man who more bitterly opposed
him in the. campaign of 1896.
