SUGAR TO BE CHEAPER.
Washington, June IA reduc-
tion of the sugar bill of the Amer
lean people was predicted yesterday
by Edwin F. Atkins, head of the
American Sugar Refining company,
as a probable result of the reduc-
ton of the tariff on raw sugar, in
testimony he gave to the house spe-
cial sugar committee.
Putting raw sugar on the free list,
however, he said, would result in
driving many sugar beet producers
trt Of hnGin
and seriously crippling Louisiana
cane producers. Representative Mad
ison of Kansas tried to get the wit
ness to fix a point to which the duty
might safely be reduced. He de-
clined.
BENEFITED CUBA NOTHING.
Mr.. Madison led Mr. Atkins to ad-
nit that in dollars and cents Cuba
profited practically nothing as a re-
suit of the favored nation" treaty
with this country in regard to sugar
Importation When Cuba had sugar
to sell, heSaGid, the price went down
sosaow~ til 4I6ha- -differential annoyed
over other countries was wiped out,
but when that country had no sugar
to sell the differential was available.
REVIEWS PRICES.
Chairman Hardwick took the wit
ness through a review of sugar
prices. Mr.. Atkins said the differ
ences between the cost of the raw
sugar and the selling price of refin-
ed sugar left the refiners at present
SO cents a hundred pounds to cover
the cost of refining and profits. This
difference was only II cents In 1885
and &c cents in 1887 In 1888, af-
ter the merger resulting in the or
ganization of the American Sugar
company, the difference rose to
S1.25. In 1890 the difference drop
ped to ~ cents.

McCumber of North Dakota opposed
the reciprocity agreement in the SEN

injure the American farmer After

does not realize the enormous posi-
bilities of the Canadian country and
declaring it time enough to open
Canadian sources when the food sup
ply of the United States is really
threatened McCumber considered the
political effect the measure would
have. He declared it was neither
republican nor democratic, but a hy-
brid measure which inherits none of
the good qualities of one parent and
only the bad qualities of the other.

and Referred.

Springfield, III, June 1.-THE third
special session, which Governor De-
neen has summoned since he was first
elected governor, was called to order
at noon today. Only one topic-deep
waterway-win be considered. In the
senate Johnson had charge Of bill
bearing his name and it was referred
TO the committee on deep waterway.
In the house Judah introduced the
johnson bill, which. after some sharp
debate, was referred to the deep water
ways committee Both houses adjourn
ed until tomorrow
CONFINED TO ONE SUBJECT.
Springfield. Ill, June 14.-Gover-
nor Deneen's message, which was
transmitted today to the special ses-
sion of the 47th general assembly,
was confined to consideration of the
deep waterway project and the ne
cessity, in the opinion of the chief
executive, of speedy action TO ac-
quire the waterpower sites needed by
the state in the development OF the
waterway.
Another reason for prompt action
by the legislature in the governors
opinion, is the completion of nego-
tiations with the federal government
for cooperation in the construction
of the waterway.
NO COMPROMISE.
Talk of a compromise waterway
bill vanished as the different mem
bers began pouring into theAaaRiASS
for the special session. Instead of
q compromise the Deneen and anti
Deneen factions are ready for a fin
ish fight on waterway and water
power. What the final outcome will
be no one in either faction will ven
ture a guess.
Speaker Adkins and Governor De-
neen are at variance on the question
of whether the waterpower sites
have not already been seized by
large corporations Governor De
mems idea that the general assem-
bly, should pass a bill before July l f,
next. which will enable the state to
secure what power sites are left.
EXPECTS TO PROVE 1T.
In order to prove his assertion
that the best Of the power sites al
ready have been gobbled up, Speaker
Adkins expects to summon several
persons 20 appear before the house,
sitting as a committee OF the whole.
TO tell what they know about the
ownership OF land along the water
