desired to enter the navy, but her
tears dissuaded him from his purpose.
Therefore. to Mrs. Washington we
owe a great debt as perhaps If her son
had obtained his wish he would never
have become the great leader and IDOL
of his people that he afterwards was.
Mt. Vernon. the family plantation
was named after Admiral Vernon. un-
der whom Washington's brother, Lau-
renee, had served in the navy.
Washington owed much of his sue
cess in the French and Revolutionary
wars to the hardy life of a surveyor
in the wilderness. He was an Off er
in the American forces during the war
with France and distinguished him
self by his wisdom and bravery. When
General Braddock marched against
the enemy at Fort Duquesne and was
ambuscaded by them. Washington
after the main part OF the army had
been killed, saved the remaining by
his prompt and prudent actions. so the
people only discovered by degrees
what a great man he was. Neverthe-
less they had complete confidence in
him. and during the revolutionary
war. through all OF his success and de-
feats. there was never a popular de-
mand for his removal. Every mans
arguing was something like this: III
Washington cannot succeed. no one
else can"
There was. indeed cabal formed,
with Conway as it's leader to deprive
him of his command. but this was only
the action Of a few Jealous individuals.
There has never been in the history OF
the world a successful man, however
noble his character, who has escaped
the slander OF jealous tongues. and
Washington came in for his full share.
few years before his death his prin-
ciples were attacked by some OF his
political opponents, who called him
mercenary Washington was deeply
grieved by the ungrateful conduct,
but he was consoled by the love OF
the people, who never swerved in
their loyalty to him. When this hero
had effected the liberation of the col
onies, he quietly returned to Mt. Yer
non without accepting any compensa-
ton for his services. and lived as a
private citizen. The gratitude OF the
nation. however. would not allow him
to remain long in obscurity, and he
was called forth to be the chief exc
cutiye of his country. Washington
was a man who could adapt himself
to circumstances. and he made as
wise and as competent president as
he had a general. At the end OF his
first term he was unanimously elect
ed again, but after having served the
second term he modestly refused q
| third nomination.
One of the instances of his great
! prudence during his presidency was
his refusal to involve the country IN
war with England by taking the par
| OF France. Although this action was
condemned at the time by some. Il IL
now seen to be the wisest course ht
could have pursued. as to have plung
ed the country into war when II had
not quite recovered from the effect
of the revolution would have beoI
ruinous to It. Washington depart"C

HAWAIIAN PLANS
IN PHILIPPINES

Several and varied reports have
come from the Philippine Islands con-
corning the probable or prospective
operations of Hawaiian planters in
that group. Most of these statements
have been denied here. Now comes
one from Willett & Gray's Sugar
Trade Journal, the most reliable sugar
publication in the world, in which a
number of additional facts are stated.
The statement is as follows:
Recent press advices contain adj
ditional details regarding the reported
purchase by Hawaiian interests of a
large estate in Laguna Province, Is
land of Luzon, nos fai from Mantle,
About 10000 acres were purchased
half of which was formally friar land,
the remainder being adjoining private
and public lands. The purchase price
is reported to be equal to 500 to SIS
per acre. The company started out
to obtain $4,000 acres but the value Of
the land increased so rapidly when
buying commenced that this was not
possible. Even with 10000 acres the
labor problem is already causing I'M
easiness. The construction of roads
and other improvements has already
been started, on the estate. The COM
pany will have its own wharves and
operate stown lighters in which it
can float the sugar directly to ocean
going steamers in Manila Bay. The
sugar factory to be built will cost
about 100000, and arrangements
have already been made for the con-
struction of the machinery in Hawaii.
A good supply of water is available
which can be used for irrigating pur-
poses if found desirable.

MARKET LETTER
OF HENRY CLEWS
NEW YORK, JUNE Il, 1910.


A decided change for the better has
taken place in the financial situation
since the dissolution of the Govern
ments injunction suit against the
railroads. The prospects now are
that the Railroad bill introduced at
Washington will be the first object
of legislation, and fair chance exists
of this troublesome question being
adjusted before the adjournment of
Congress, which is not far distant,
The proposed measure is one of great
Importance, isasmuch as it proposes
to regulate rates, to regulate the is
sue of securities, to ascertain physi-
cal valuation and to do many other
things with the railroads; some of
which are highly visionary. What the
out come will be it is impossible to
forecast at this time; but on issue OF
great Importance is, it is hoped,
about to be settled in way that will
ensure the rights of the public, and
conserve the rights of security hold
ers. The railroads have agreed to
postpone their advances, which
should lessen political tension, but
still leaves them in somewhat uncer-
tain position. Unless there it to be
large increase of traffic, it is pro-
blem as to how the railroads are 60
ing to meet fast growing expenses
without an advance in rates. AL
ready many of the roads are showing
serious Impairment of net earnings,
notwithstanding LIBERAL gains in
gross; and unless some reasonable
advances are permitted by forth
coming legislation, it is certain that
the position of some of the railroads
will become unenviably threatening.
Perhaps the brightest development
of the week was the Government cror
report; the advices as to spring
wheat being better than expected
The indications now are for tota
wheat crop of 7O2,OO0,OOO bushels
against a harvest last year of 49,.
100000 bushels. This suggests {
shrinkage of about 100000 bushel!
as a result of poorer condition than {
year ago. An oats crop of 1921, 900,
900 bushels is indicated, or abou
100000 bushels in excess of last
year, while the outlook for barley is
for a crop of 179,OO0,OO0 bushels, OIL
about 100000 bushels in excess OF
last year. There is also probability
of big hay crop, although no returns
for this product have thus far beer
furnished. For cotton, the outloOl
is about 100000 bales, or fully
100000 more than last year. In al
parts of the country there has been &

SUGAR CROP
IN PHILIPPINES

In Willett G Grays sugar report,
published yesterday reference was
made to important information which
had come from the Philippine Islands
concerning the crop there. Following
is the data indicated:
AS anticipated in our last, the Iloilo
crop, estimated at about 1,549, $50 pi-
culs, will fall short by about 100000
piculs Q5,625 tons), making a crop
of only about 100000 piculs (S1,25O
tons), reducing the estimate of total
crop Of Philippine Islands to 10000
tons.
The prospects for next crop are in
deed more encouraging, planters
having invested the fairly large pro
fits that they made this season in buy
ing cattle, which has enabled them
to make large paintings and which
makes them expect the Iloilo crop for
19101911 will produce about 100000
piculs Q25,OOO). OF course, at this
time of the year it is yet too early to
predict what the production is likely
to turn out, depending greatly on the
weather; but we have no doubt that
there is sufficient cane planted for
that amount, and if weather is favor
able for the next three months, as
hitherto, We quite believe the pro-
duction will reach their expectations.
In the Luzon provinces a fairly
large increase of sugar production is
also expected. Leaving apart the
damp sugar unsuitable for export to
your country, we estimate that the
coming crop is likely to amount to
something like $4,000 tons. AS we
said above, this does not include low
test sugars, produced in considerable
quantity, which will have to find their
way, as they have done this year, to
China markets.
Herewith we beg to send you a
note of sugar exported from the Phil.
ippine Islands from January 1 to April
go 1910.
Stocks in lloilo amount to $4,000
piculs.
Local prices have ruled very high
spectators having paid all through
the season higher prices than the
parity of New York values. This, ant
the belief that when pressure to sell
Cubas in your market ceases, prices
there are likely to advance, has
strengthened dealers ideas and is the
cause of the large stocks held in Iloilc
by them.
At present there are buyers of Iloi.
