14 IS NOT A MENACE Hawaii Cannot Compete With Our Sugar Producers. the point of profitable production, and fer- tilizers are required. Result of Experiments. “With regard to the ability of the United States to produce sugar, the states north of Virginia and including that common- wealth have demonstrated within the past year that the conditions are all favorable for profitable production. We intend, dur- ing the coming year, to ascertain where the sugar beet can be profitably grown in the states south of Virginia. Where it may be ascertained that the sugar beet will not grow profitably in the south, and where ribbon cane will not succeed, we will introduce the sorghum sugar-cane seed. The Department of Agriculture has been selecting and developing this plant SECRETARY WILSON 70 THE SENATE Large Importations by the United States. during the last seven years, until it con- tains as high a per cent of sugar as 1s b oe fou in the sugar beet. The average sugar co nt necessary to the profitable produc- GROWING HOME INDUSTRY | tion of the sugar beet is about 12 per cent. “The Lehi factory in Utah has been run- ning for several years profitably with an average of sugar in the beet of 12 to 1% per cent. Our selected sugar cane gives s verage of 14 per cent, and runs as high Ww to per cent in some cases. The department has been using the same method: of selection in developing sorghum by the polariscope that have been in vogue in France and Germany for forty years past in the selection of mother beets. Wherever we find that sugar beets will not grow profitably in the southern states, we propose to introduce this high-heredity sorghum seed. Sorghum molasses is made extensively all over the United States. The census of 1890 shows that in 1889 the United States produced 24,235,210 gallons of sorghum molasses, and in 1897 we made 300 tons of sorghum sugar. It is popular with the people; it is made in small neigh- borhood mills, and the manufacture is being greatly extended. Needed for Forage. “An additional reason why the Depart- ment of Agriculture proposes to encourage the growing of first-class sorghum in the south is that the farmers of that section require a carbonaceous forage plant to feed with their cotton-seed cake. The state of Georgia, for example, produced 600,000 tons of coiton seed in 1897: if properly balanced with carbonaceous fodders, the cake of that one state would have finished the 390,- 000 cattle exported from this country last year. The sorghum plant is highly car- bonaceous and will answer this purpose admirably. It grows vigorously in dry soils where maize und other grasses do not thrive. Whether sugar is produced from keets cr cane, it is done most profitably in cennection with farms having all the de- partments properly balanced. The northern states have the dairy and feed yard, the southern states may have them as well. ‘the producticn of sugar can be incidental in both sections of the country to the feed- ing of animals. Hawaii has nothing of this One of the most important documents, containing expert testimony regarding the effect of the annexation of Hawaii on the sugar beet industry in this country, is the communication sent to the Senate late Monéay afterncon by Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture. Printed copies of this communication were receiv- ed from the government printing office this morning and were upen the desks of sena- tors when they arrived at the Capitol. It was the first opportunity they had had to read the views of Secretary Wilson on this question. The paper was read carefully by senators and was given greater weight from the well-known fact that Secretary Wilson regards the beet sugar industry as one of the most important features of his administration, and he has worked hard to buiid it up. In view of these facts argument in favor of the annexation of Hawail is looked upon as especially im- portant, for it is believed he would not favor such action if it involved any dan- ger to the beet sugar industry. Several days ago The Star outlined the views of Secretary Wilson on this subject and showed the favorable effect they had on senators who were hesitating about the Hawaiian annexation problem on account of its effect on the sugar beet industry. The Secretary goes into the subject very thoroughly. In his communication to the Senate he says: Importations of Sugar. “The average amount of sugar imported into the Untied States annually from Isuv to 1897, inclusive, was 1,530,4 tons of 2,240 pounds each, valued at $101,575,203. The importation during the fiscal year end- ing June 20, 1897, wes 443,522 tons more reseed s ~| kind. The care is grown; it is hauled to Seen een eee Oh the. four preccé:"é | the mills; the bagasse is not returned to the desire of importers ¢ pate the ef- | the soil; the available plant food is reduced, and the planters must search to the ends of the earth for fertilizers. This is ex- pensive, and they cannot permanently com- pete with farmers who make the growing of a few acres of sugar beets or sorghum incidental to other agricultural operations on the farm. “Sugar production in Hawaii is carried on with coolie labor under contract system: That will vanish if the islands become sub- ject to our laws, when the laborer there will receive the same wages he now gets in California. in What Hawaii Excels. “Hawaii then will not seriously compete with sugar producers in the states. When the people of those islands come to con- sider, with scientific assistance, the possi- bilities of coffee production that can be ex- tended over much of the limited sugar belt, it will be found that in that industry they have 2 monopoly with which no state in the Union can: interfere. It is a singular fact that no scientific improvement of the coffee tree with regard to the excellence of the berry an_ increased yield of the tree through intelligent selection has ever been made. The climate of these islands is ad- mirably adapted to the production of many fine fruits that cannot be grown in any of our states. They can grow many c.oice subtropical and tropical fruits that have never been scientifically developed, the im- provement of which would lead to very profitable production. In these directions the farmers of the states could not com- pete with Hawa fect of the tariff act pending in Congress during the last months of that year. “The average importation of sugar from the Hawaiian Islanés from 1803 to 1897, in- elusive, was 149,496 tons, valued at $9,973, ‘The importation for the fiscal year of ‘ tons, being 43,052 tons above the average of the preceding four During 1897 the Hawaiian sugar 1_per cent of the amount consumed in the United States. From 1803 to i807 it per cent of our consumption. Consumption of Beet Sugar. “The beet sugar consumed the United States in 1896 was 18 per cent; in 1897, it was 37 per cent of the total consumption. The disturbed condition of Cuba doubtless caused much of this marked increase, but the beet sugars from countries in conti- nental Europe are those from which we may expect the most act competition. ‘The proiuction of beet sugar in the United States in 1807 was 41,347 tons of is each: of cane sugar, 287,007 tons; e sugar, 5,000 tons, and of sorghum “The total domestic product was 335,656 tons. “The total refined product of imported sugar was 1,’ i annual consumption rom the foregoii pears that S# per cent of tne s r consumed in the United States was imported. Hawatiian Sugar Fields. “A prominent question is, Can this Ha- wWatian production be greatly increased in competition with the American farmer? FE entry into the United States from these islands has given great encourage- ment to the production of sugar, and the industry has been developed very rapidly. We must take into consideration methods of cultiva in Hawali before we can certainly conclude w the future of the industry will be in that direction. is grown continuously on the same land in Hawaii, and for this reason the is being exhausted.

SUPPLIES FOR THE YUKON. - Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn Writes to Minister Sifton. Reports that the War Department has abandoned its expedition for the relief of suffering miners in the Yukon valley are clearly disproved by a letter written by Acting Secretary Meiklejohn of the War Department recently to Mr. Clifford Sif- ten, Canadian minister of the interior, say- ing: “The War Department has ordered its pack animals tc Vancouver, and expects to have the provisions at Skaguay some time during the present month. Then we shall probably begin to pack the provisions over the mountains and make a starting place on the other side. If the steam sleds are a success they will be used. If not, before we start out with any considerable amount of provisions we shall wait for the reindeer, which are to be shipped about the 20th instant.” Under date of January 12 Mr. Ciifford Sifton, minister of the interior of Canada, wrote to Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn as follows: “Referring to the corversation which passed between us on the subject of fur- nishing an escort for your relief expedi- tion, I have given instrrctions that a suffi- cient number of men be sent forward to Skaguay for the purpose, and I have no doubt they will be awaiting the arrival of your people on or before the 1st of Feb- ruary. May I ask if you will be good enough to advise me when your expedition is expected to embark for Skaguay so that our arrangements may be made if possible in_ accor In answer to an inquiry from Mr. Meikle- john in regard to the situation at Dawson, according to his reports, Mr. Sifton tele- graphed tke following from Ottawa Sat- urday night: “My reports indicate no immediate danger of starvation at Dawson, but great necessity for provisions being distributed between Fort Selkirk and Skaguay at vari- ous posts. Believe ice formed ail the way through. Our provisions are being pushed down by horses and dogs. Intend to keep supplies moving until water opens in spring to avoid possibility of disaster.” A telegram has been received at the War Department from Dr. Jackson at Trondhjem, Norway, stating that Mr. Kjellmann was on his way from the in- terior with W fine reindeer, which he had purchased, together with a suitable number of sleds and drivers. The deer have all been dehorned, so they may be safely ship- ped. FIRST OF THE BISCHOFF CONCERTS. A Delightful Evening Devoted to Song and Pantomime. ‘The first of the Bischoff concerts for this season drew to the Congregational Church last evening a large and most appreciative audience. The program embraced, under the direction of Professor Bischoff, a cho'ce and most pleasing array of musical fva- tures. ‘Those who assisted were: Mrs. Hat- tle Meads Smith, soprano; Mrs. Annie Louise Powell, contraito; Mr. Douglass G. Miller, tenor, and Mr. J. Walter Hum- phrey, bass. Miss Edith Perly Dickerson varied the pleasure of the evening with pantomimic representations, which were enthusiastically received by the audience. ‘The first number, the quartet by Ponsuti, “When Hands Meet,” was rendered with fine expression throughout. Mrs. Annie Louisa Powell, the contralto, sang the aria trom “La Gioconda,” by Ponchielli, with her usual richness of voice. Mr. Douglass G. Miller rendered in a remark- able pure tenor the Salve Dimora solo of Gounod’s aust." Then occurred a most pleasing variation from the usual program in a pantomimic interpretation of “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” by Miss Edith Perly Dickerson, Mrs.’ Bischoff singing the grand old hymn in a charmingly sweet and strong voic Miss Dickerson has a fine. tall, statuesque figure. Her costume of white was severely classic in its adherence to the ideas of Roman grace and beauty, and lent itself tlowingly to every motion and pose. The applause that greeted this number was long and hearty. Mrs. Hattie Meads Smith followed with the aria from Bellini's “La Somnambula,” which she rendered most delightfully in a strong, con- fident voice. Mr. J. Walter Humphrey's mellow bass showed to advantage in Dud- ley Buck's “Sunset” song, after which Dr. Bischoft ve his transcription of Schu- bert’s “Erl-King" on the organ. This mag- nificent composition afforded every oppor- tunity for the rare and masterly skill of the organist to display all its strength and magic. After two ballads, by Mrs. Powel! and Tosti's “Good-bye” song, rhrey, Miss Nickerson again app ic poses, representing various mythological and lit ry characters. Mr. Miller then sang Bordillon’s “The Night Has a Thousand Eyes,” for which Dr. Bischoff had written a version in music, nd an exquisite little vocal rendering of “Anna Machree, by Mrs. Bishoff. Mrs. Smith ain called to the stage in a storm of applause to sing } ch’s “Song of Love,” and then occurred ‘ing little interruption of the p: n the appear- ance of the last survivor of the famous old Hutchinson family, who, by reques ng the old songs he Granite State nd “The Bachelor's Lament.

In support of his recommendation for 1,600 sailors and 700 apprentices for the ravy, Secretary Long says that during the rext two years five battle ships of the first class and seventeen torpedo boats arc to be placed in commission, and that the in- creased force asked for will be necessary to man them.
