SUGAR TARIFF REVISION BILL.
Proposed Measure win Impose Duty
of 81 Hundred Pounds.

of 81 Hundred Pounds.
The terms of the sugar tariff reVl'
sion bill to be reported to the mousse
by the committee on ways and means
practically have been agreed upon
The measure will be taken up after
the passage of the bill proposing re-
vision of the iron. steel and chemical
schedules. If present plans are car
ried out the sugar revision bill will i'm
pose a duty of 81 hundred pounds on
the raw product instead Of $1.GS, as at
present.
The reduction will be greater than
appears on the surface. Under the re
ciprocal trade agreement with Cuba
sugar imports from the island are adj
mitted at Il rate 20 per cent lower than
that imposed ON the product coming
from other countries. AS most OF the
raw sugar brought to this country
comes from Cuba the proposed rate of
81 really means Il cut to so cents.
Only few of the radicals among the
house Democrats will insist upon the
admission of sugar duty free. The
house leaders declare that from rev
enue standpoint free sugar is an i'm
possibility. They point out that sugar
Is the largest single item Of revenue in
the tariff law and at present yields
about $6O,00O,O0O year. They argue
that until other sources Of revenue are
devised sugar must remain on the du-
table list.
1t Is the opinion of Democratic lead
ers that the beet sugar industry will
not suffer under a rate Of 81 hun
dred pounds. While this interest pre-
fers the present tariff some Of its
spokesman say that the proposed rate
will not materially injure the beet sug-
ar manufacturers.

He Was Trainer Of Corhett, Jeffries and

William Delaney. noted as trainer
and handler Of famous prizefighters.
who died recently. was born in New
York and was about sixty years old.
He first gained fame as the trainer of
Jim Corbett and prepared him for the
memorable fight with John l.. Sullivan
which Corbett won at New Orleans in
September. 1892.
When Corbett was whipped by Bob
Fitzsimmons at Carson City the for
mer's sparring partner. James ]. JEFF
fries, was taken in hand by Delaney.
who announced that he would develop
the boilermaker into champion. De-
laney trained Jeffries for the first bat
tie with the Cornishman at Coney Is
land. and when JEFF won the title the
veteran trainer embraced him in the
ring. Delaney stuck to Jeffries all
through his championship career. but
when Jeffries retired and refused to
box Bill Squires in San Francisco there
came serious breach.
Delaney assumed charge Of Al Kauf-
man, the California heavyweight. then
and proceeded to challenge Jeffries, Of
fering to make a bet Of $4,000 on the
side and let the winner take all. When
Jeffries refused this offer and made a
match with Jack johnson. Delaney
lost no time in predicting the white
mans downfall. Delaney. to square
accounts with Jeffries. consented to
act as Johnson's chief second at Reno
and when the negro won the trainer
decided that it was time to retire
Previously he had turned down an Of
fer of $4,000 to prepare Jeffries for
the mill, giving as reason that the
boilermaker was lacking in gameness.
Delaney had a clean record in pugil-
ism. He was shrewd matchmaker
and clever judge Of fighters.

CROCKERS' ORIENTAL BALL.
Half a Million Dollars Was Represent
ed In the Decorations

ed IN the Decorations.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles TempletoD
Croker gave an oriental ball at the
st. Francis hotel. San Francisco. that
eclipsed anything ever seen in the west
for magriicence and display.
The number of guests was restricted
to 200. The costumes of the guests
and the setting of the ball were strict
ly oriental-that is. Persian, Turkish,
Egyptian and East Indian. In fact,
everything oriental was represented
except China and Japan.
The colonial ballroom of the big ho-
tel was converted into the court of an
oriental palace. with priceless hang
ings, magnificent fountain and palms,
servatory and gardens about the bay.
Hundreds of square feet of lawn were
transplanted from the Crocker country
home to their garden.
In the foliage of this garden were
scattered canaries and other colored
songsters, and there were many parti-
colored parrots among the palms. The
entire ceiling of the ballroom was COW
cred with tapestries. and everywhere
throughout the rooms were magnifi-
cent rugs. 1t is estimated that the
hangings and decorations Of the ball
room alone represented half a million
dollars. The guests all assumed orien.
tai characters. and their gowns were
most elaborate. The DISPLAY Of lew.
els was dazzling.
