WASHINGTON NOTES.

THE HKltT SUGAR QUESTION BEOOMIVO A TOPIC OF GREAT INTEREST.

The Hunt Sugar Question. Senator Fairbanks is in recent receipt of a large number of letters from constituents In northern

Indiana, commenting on Professor Wiley's statement, that the soli and the. climate of that part of the State were adapted especially to the cultivation of the sugar beet. This subject of beet cfllture Is one that has aroused profound interest among the farmers

of Indiana, judging from the expressions that lind their way to Washington, a fact •which is not surprising In view of the fact that it lights the way to the acquisition of another J100.000.0fl0 a year by the agricultural clusses of the country. The people of the (.'nlted States paid $86,000,000 for foreign sugar last year, every pound of which product could have been raised at home and the money distributed to our own farmers. -r

Countervailing Duty on Sugar. Secretary Gage has decided that the Netherlands pays a bounty on all raw and refined sugars exported from tiiu! country, and hence, under the new tariff sact, all sugars from the Netherianlj entering the United States are subject to a discriminating duty equal to the export bounty paid. The exact rate of this countervailing duty has not yet been definitely ascertained, but it is said that

It will approach 48 cents per 100 po'in.U on raw sugar, and a slight advance on these figures on leflned. it Is known that the Secretary has also come to the conclusion that the Belgian government pays an export bounty on sugar, and deci «i™ tn this effect mav be expected in

The ambassador was asked as' to the tarirf, but he Jld not care to discusrf that matter. On the general feeling in Germany he said: "There is, I am glad to say, the most kindly sentiment throughout Germany toward the American people and their government."

WJien Or. Von Holleben was asked as to the meaning of Germany's steps towards Increasing her navy, he smilingly replied: "Germany Is a peace ful nation, and I am glad to say that, like President McKlnley, the !Emteror of Germany Is one of the most pacific rulers In the world. Naturally. Germany wants an adequate navy, just as the United States desires a strong naval force, not as a means of aggression, but to maintain her Interests ths world over. A navy is one of the surest means of securing peace, as It commands respect and a recognition of just rights. Moreover, German colonial interests are becoming very great In Australia, South Africa and elsewhere, and the German citizenship abroad is spru-.idlng to the utmost limits, oven tn China and eastern Asia, where we have extensive German communities. It is but natural, therefore, that Germany desires to rnlopt every means for caring for her own p^pople the world over."

Klondike DUvusaed Officially. Consul Smith, at Victoria, In a report to the State Department, discusses the subject of the Klondike gold fields. The advices received at Victoria, he says, indicate that the rush in 1849 to California and later to South Africa will be eclipsed by the gold seekers headed for the Yukon In the early months of 1898. Agents from England have been at Victoria making arrangements for 3,000 or 4,000 gold seekers. Merchants there have socured great supplies of outfit goods and the transportation companies have made arrangements sufficient to make dally lines between that port and St. Michael's, Dyea, Skaguay and Fort Wrangle. The Canadian authorities have made every possible arrangement for an allCanadian route to the gold fields and are trying to make It to the interest of miners to purchase their outfits in Canada. This is to be done through tariff laws. lion. Clifford Slfton, the Canadian minister of the Interior, made a trip to tile Northwest recently, and In an address intimated that the hun—miuion.jiow allowed by

Oeu. Harrliou at i'lirduc.

Lafayette special: General Harrison •Old ex-Secretary of the Interior Noble visited Purdue Wednesday. Mr. Noble came specially to address the students on "The Relations of Railroad Corporations to the Public," and General Harrison accompanied his old friend, giving him an introduction that put every one in a happy frame of mind. President Smart first introduced General Harrison, who began by relating the following incident from his own experience: "I have sometimes been the orator, where the duty of introduction devolved on a man whom 1 had previously thought to be my friend. I have sometimes suffered from the effect, as the person who' was to do the introducing has sometimes misconceived the situation, and thought he was to make the speech rather than I. I am not going to fall into that mistake today. I was told there was a gen-, tleman holding the audience for my arrival. and when we came down to the platform, and the JUtle stir that was made advised .him "'of my presence, he turned and said:

The distinguished orator who is to address you is now present, and I must "bring my remarks to a close.'

However, it was not convenient for him to close just then, and he went on. After a half hour he was reminded that I was there, and he again reminded the audience. In turn, that the distinguished

The rate to. Marion wll bo on the same p5oportlon—about 76 cents tor the round trip. It has been decided to erect stations at every cross-road of Importance. These stations will be about a mile apart and wl'l probably be named instead of lettered or numbered. The work of laying the track is progressing rapidly. Cars WiU be running paat Llnwood by Saturday night and It Is thought that everything will be ready to run cars into Alexandria on Christmas day. The wire is all up and the current has been turned on and tested. The Alexandria street-car service will be put Into effect about the time the through line is opened into that city. The line will be into Summltville by the latter part of this month, and it is possible that the cars will he running into Marlon by April. ......,

A Yruthful Murderer.

Kockville special: Harry Porter, the sixteen-year-old son of William Porter shot and instantly killed James T. Sturgeon, a prominent stock buyer Tuesday. The boy used a Marlln rifle, the ball passing through Sturgeon's head. The killing occurred near the Porter home, Sturgeon having bevn warned to keep uway from young Porter's mother. Sturgeon was a married man and leaves a family In a beautiful country place near Milligan. Young Porter was brought to Rockville by his uncle, Rufus Porter, to consult Rice & Johnston. attorneys, Late Tuesday afternoon John L. Sturgeon, brother of the dead man, took out a warra,nt for Porter and he was committed to Jail. The lawyers went to the scene of the murder to make an Invest! gatlon with the coroner.

A Wayward White Oak Tre«. There Is a wayward white oak tree near Laporte, Ind., says the Chicago InterOcean, that may well puzzle naturalists with the vagaries cf its growth. The tree.Is nine feet In circumference at the base, an there are no branches of any size below flfteen feet from the ground.|
