WASHINGTON BUREAU OF TUB 111313 ,
r > 13 Fourteenth Street ,
WASHINGTON , March 3.
Some Interesting statistics In connection
with sugar production nti't consumption will
bo laid before tlio Benutc when the tariff
Mil comes up for consideration. They will
nil tend In the direction , of course , ot en-
rouraKcment of tlio domestic sugar Industry ,
and nrguo In favor of developing the beet
nnd cane sugar Industrie. ! by tlio bounty
Hystcm , If possible , nnd a. protective duty If
the bounty cannot bo secured.
In 1893 the domestic production of Btigir
In this country was 015,000,000 pounds , the
foreign Importations 3,631,000,000 pounds ,
making tlio total consumption -1,200,000,000
pounds. The duty of 1 cent a pound , pro
posed by the senate flnanco committee , upon
onr consumption last year would have been
$30,000,000. it Is estimated that the per capita
consumption Is sixty-five pounds annually ,
and It Is figured that the Imposition of 1
cent duty would cause this to fall off to
Hlxty pounds annually und the price of sugar
to Increase disproportionately large. The
Increase of population during the past five
decades has been 28 per cent per decade ,
while the Increase In the production of
sugar In this country has been 20 per cent
per annum since attention has been di
rectly turned toward It. A bounty of 1
cent per pound and a duty upon Imported
sugar of the naino amount , It Is estimated ,
would give a revenue to the government
of $33,812,000 , whllo tlio bounty would be
$9,288,000 next year , leaving a net sugar rev
enue of $24,521,000 In favor of the Govern
ment , whllo the result to the domestic sugar
producer would bo the same as the present
sugar bounty. It Is figured that In
1900 the domestic sugar production nt the
present rate of Increase would be 2,102,000-
000 pounds , or about one-half of the amount
required for consumption. Then the revenue
to the government from Importations
would be ? 27'JSO,000 , and the bounty
upon the domestic product would
have Increased to $21,020,000 , leaving u net
revenue to the government of $6,300,000. By
the time the balance would turn against the
account of the government , when
there would bo paid out more
bounty than was received by a 1-cent
duty from Importations , the domestic product
would have Increased to a point whore we
would bo Independent on a Mig.ir basis , and
could , If necessary , produce enough sugar to
supply our own demands , nnd the Industry
would have developed to n point where there
would not uo required either n uounty or a
duty to encourage the homo producer.
It Is argued In favor of n duty nnd a
bounty of 1 cent per pound that It would
encourage the production of sugar to the
point of half of our homo consumption ;
perhaps to the point where It could sustain
Itself with very moderate encouragement.
Wo could cheapen sugar , as compared with
n duty of l s cents per pound , because the
cent duty would b ? tlio only reason to pro-
volto n rise , and we would save the faith of
the nation , now pledged until 1D03 , to the
2-cent bounty policy. Wo would save cap
italists from loss on contracts inado running
Into the future with fanners , etc. , as far
as 1S9C.

GLEN ROCK'S POSTMASTEH.
There Is a pretty kettle of fish boiling over
the poslmA'atershlp nt Glen Hock , Wyo , Some
time ago. .Hon. A. .L. New of Denver , who
runs the democratic politics of Wyoming by
mall from the metropolis of Colorado , wrote
a letter to the PostofTlce department recom
mending the appointment of L. K. Klmbnll
ns postmaster nt Glen Hock. In hU letter
of recommendation Mr. Now extolled the
virtues of Klmball and wound up by saying
that ho was n man of great political Inllti-
once nnd 'If appointed postmaster could and
would make nt least two Wyoming counties
democratic , so. In the absence ot further In
formation , Klmball was appointed. The
news reached Glen Hock and there came
back nuch a liowl In protest as
has not been heard for many n
day. Tlio patrons of the office
protested most vigorously against any mem
ber ot that family being made their post
master. They represented to the department
that L. K. Klmball had boon recommended
by the court of Converse county for Indlct-
inont upon the charge of subornation ot per
jury ; that his BOH stands charged with
larceny , and that the Immediate family was
In disrepute. The department has hold up
the appointment of Klmbnll nnd It Is not at
all likely that ho will get the oince.
Through the intercession of the Idaho and
California senators the finance committee
have agreed to make the duty on ra'slns
and prunes 1 % cents per pound.
The house fixed the duty at
about half that amount 'and in ail o It
ad valorem. Load In the ore has been fixed
nt % cent per pound , whllo coal and Iron
ere will each pay a duty of 40 cento per ton ,
according to the present agreement ot the
senate committee.

Ceremonies Wlileh Will Attend Ills Talcing
Ills Seat on the. Supreme lleneli.
WASHINGTON , Starch 3. The Installa
tion of Senator Whlto of Louisiana upon
the bench of the supreme court will occur
at noon next Monday. Very brief formal
ities attend the advent of a new justice of
the supreme court , the only ceremonies
customary being the administration of two
oaths , one to support the constitution of
the United States , the other to faithfully
try all cases. The ontH of loyalty to the
constitution Is administered by the chief
justice fh the consultation room bsfore the
Justices * enter the court room. When the
justices enter nt noon the spectators , rising
an they always do , the new member of the
court walks at the end of the file. Some
times the new member wears a gown which
has been made for him or which he has
borrowed from one of his colleagues , nnd
occasionally he enters In citizens dress. He
takes a seat beside the clerki Sir. W. J. Mc-
Klnney , the chief justice announces the ap
pointment of a justice to succeed the late
Justice Hlutchford , the commission from
the president Is raid by tlie clerk of the
court , and then Senator White stands , and
with his hands on the bible assents to the
outli of olllco which the clcrlf reads. This
completes the ceremony. The new justice
walks to the end of the bench at the left
of the chief justice and takes the further
chnlr to the left. As he walks up the steps
the Justices rise nnd bow , anfl as he takes
his sent he returns the salutation. Then
the court proceeds In Its regular routine.
The salary of a Justice of . 'the supreme
court begins upon the date that his com
mission Is signed. All other oltlclals ure
placed upon the pay rolls when they take
the oath of office. No unearned moue.y nc-
crucs to a member of the supreme court
from this distinction , for It'ls customary for
u justice to return to the treasury the
amount of salary for the time between the
date of his commission nnd his taking thu
oath of olllce. Senator White has not yet
notified the supreme court that he will be
ready to don the robes of oIlce ! Monday ,
but he 1ms told his friends that he will , al
though he Intends to look after the Inter
ests of his state in tariff legislation until
the end of the week. As the spring term of
court begins Monday It will be a good time
for a new justice to begin his duties.

Secretary of Agriculture Jlorton Makes n
New Killing ,
WASHINGTON. March 3. The annual
distribution of seeds by the Department of
Agriculture In response to personal applica
tions has been discontinued for the present
season , nnd hereafter distribution will be

who have certain quantities to their ac
count. The department this year provided
for more than 9,000 packages of seeds , two-
thirds of which arc the quota for congress
men only , one-third being sent out inde
pendently by the department. The appro
priation for the distribution of seeds for the
present fiscal year is $135,400. Secretary
Morton does not believe In the wholesale
distribution of seeds , nnd he has submitted
to congress an estimate nsklnjr for but
$ )3,000 ) for buying and.distributing seeds for
the coining fiscal year. This amount is
for the purchase , propagation and distribu
tion of "rare and Improved seeds' , buds ,

.MlnnrMitii Charged , *
WASHINGTON , March 3. In the house
today two private pension bills wore passed
by unanimous consent , ono on motion ot
Mr. Richardson of Tennessee to pension
Fanny Norman , and the 'other on motion of
Mr. Curtis of Kansas to pension Andrew
Franklin , In Captain Armstrong's company
In the war ot 1812.
Mr. Uryan of Nebraska asked unanimous
consent for the consideration of a bill ap
propriating $12,000 to reimburse the state
of Nebraska for expenses Incurred In repelling >
polling a threatened Invasion and raid by the
Sioux Indians In 1S90 and 1S01 , on the oc
casion ot thc Messiah craze , "which culmi
nated with the Wounded Kueo fight. Mr.
Sayers objected.
Mr. Hnugen of Wisconsin asked unanimous
consent for the consideration of a bill au
thorizing the Duluth and Superior Ilrldgo
company to construct a bridge across the
St. Louis river between Wisconsin and Min
nesota. Objection was made.
The house then went Into committee of the
whole for the consideration of the pension
bill.
bill.Mr.
Mr. Plckler of South Dakota took the floor
and in ado a vigorous speech In behalf of a
liberal pension policy. The old soldier , his
widow , his children und his grandchildren
should have Justice , ho said.
General Black of Illinois , ex-commls-
sloiier of pensions , followed Mr. Plckler ,
whoso kindly speech ho said might also
be adopted as a declaration of principles
by the house. White It was true there
was no praise of the union soldiers that
would not find an echo on the democratic
side , the assault ot Mr. Grout , speaking for
the republican minority , could not bo over
looked , Mr. Grout , Mr. Black said , had
laid down his propositions : First , that the
pension olllce was unfriendly to the soldiers ;
niul. second , that It was Inimical to their
rights ; nnd , third , that the democratic side
was hostile to union soldiers. To those
propositions he desired to address himself.
In 1891-92 , 311,000 claims were allowed , an
average of 100 pension certificates Issued
daily. In the final adjudication one clerk
passed on 2,400 cases In n month , or one
every four minutes. After ho had made
this record he was promoted. Thousands
of cases were adjudicated on three papers ,
first the pensioner's application , second the
date of entry and leaving the army with
out stating whether ho was honorably or
dlshnnnrnhlv i1l r.irrrnl till Mn .v > Arii _
cal examination. There was an entire neg
lect of the great requisite of the law ,
that the condition of the applicant should
boshown not to have been the result of
his own vicious habits. This was thc sort
of skeleton work which produced such
enormous results. Ho did not say this In
criticism , only to show the methods that
obtained. It was Impossible , except by the
Interposition of a miracle , to save gross and
extensive errors with such methods.
Mr Black went on to cite the case ot a
northwestern regiment which went south for
100 days and never saw the smoke of bat
tle , nor heard a musket crack. Six hundred
and fourteen men In that regiment were
on the pension roll under thc act of 1890
with two companies unaccounted for. AVas
that making the pension roll a roll of honor ?
( Democratic applause. ) .
CAUSRD GENKRAL INTEREST.
This statement of General Black caused
great Interest. Mr. Ray of New York
wanted to know If General Black was not
aware that those men had been pensioned
for gallant and meritorious service la other
commands. General Black replied ho knew
nothing of thc kind.
Mr. Lacey Insisted on knowing the name
of the regiment and Mr. Black declined to
give It , saying he was not playing the part
of a detective. Ho insisted If a soldier was
pensioned as a member of a certain regiment
he was pensioned for service in that regi
ment. Mr. Black then drifted Into a dis
cussion of the frauds unearthed at Norfolk ,
New Orleans , Chattanooga , Iowa and Minne
seta by the present commissioner of pen
sions , which , he said , since December 2 ,
had resulted in twenty-eight arrests , eighty ,
two indictments , and sixty-one convictions.
He cited them to show Mr. Lochrcn had been
active in the discharge of his duty , as an
honest man ,
The repeal of order 164 was 'not to bo
deemed an evidence ot democratic hostility
to the pensioners , he said. The decision
upon which that order was furnished was
Issued by a republican assistant secretary
of the Interior General Bussoy In 1890 ,
nnd under Its operation the issue of pension
certificates In the' last years of General
Haum'K administration fell oft 109,000.
With reference to the chariie that the
democratic party was hostile to the soldiers ,
ho pointed out that slnco 1SR1 the house
had originated all pension appropriation bllla
and that In the years It was under thu con
trol of the republican party it appropriated
$677,000.000 , while during the sixteen years
of democratic rule the house had sent to the
senate bills appropriating $951,000,000.
"Which party originated the pension leg
islation ? " asked Mr. Grout.
"Both parties , " replied Mr. Black.
"Has a pension law ever been originated
bjf the democratic party ? " 'queried ' Mr.
Grout.
"There uro many of them. The arrearage
of pensions Is one , " replied Mr. Black.
Mr. Black stated that the democratic party
believed every law enacted In behalf of pen
sioners should bo faithfully administered ,
but It Insisted , ns It ought to , that the roll
of honor should not be stained by the pay
ment of pensions to those who do not de
serve them. In replying to the charge that
Commissioner Lochron was dominated by
Secretary Smith , an ex-confederate soldier ,
ho paid a glowing and eloquent tribute to
the former's war record. With vivid words
that hold the house snellbound ho drew u
picture of the second day's battle at Gettys
burg ; how after Sickles' corps had
been turned back by the flame
and fire of the
gray-coated ava
lanche , Hancock , the superb , had ordered
the First regiment ot Minnesota with Lieu
tenant I.oclircn In the center to check that
charge. This task , said General Black , was
ns hopeless us that of the Greeks at Ther
mopylae , but they did their duty , with a loss
of 215 killed nnd wounded , and the tide ot
battle was turned back. Oijly forty-seven
came oK the llehl .unscathed. "To attack the
friendship of tmcli a Bdldlcr for his com
rades , " concluded General Black , "was to
stamp thu whole vast tissue of slander as
unworthy oven ot the calumniators. "
Cheer upon cheer from the galleries and
thc lloor followed tlio brilliant peroration ,
and his colleagues crowded around and con
gratulated the speaker.
Mr. Wnugh of Indiana declared that no
pension 'bill , general or private , had ever
been rejected by a republican vote. At the
conclusion ot Mr. Waugh's speech the com
mittee rose.
On motion ot Mr. Cogswell of Massa
chusetts , the bill to pension Hannah Llslo
wan passed , and then , at 3:05 : , the house ad
journed. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

LONDON. Mnrch 3. Rt. Hon. William E.
Gladstone , prime mlnhtor , first lord of the
treasury and lord privy seal , to give him his
full title on the eve of his retirement from
ofllce , arose early this morning and took n
long walk In tlio grounds of Windsor castle ,
at which historical group ot buildings ho had
been the guest of thc queen over night. The
morning was fine and Mr. Gladstone , who
was accompanied by General the Rt. Hon.
Sir Henry Frederick Ponsonby , private sec
retary to her majesty , enjoyed his walk
greatly. The premier looked In the best of
health and was certainly In the best of
spirits. After his morning walk Ir. Glad
stone visited his old friend , thc dean of
Windsor , Very Rev. Frank Phillip Elliott ,
D.D.
D.D.Tho
The movements of Lord Roscbery , who It
Is expected will bo the next prime minister ,
are now watched with the greatest care. His
house at 38 Berkeley square , where he ar
rived yesterday evening , was surrounded
this morning by a crowd of curious people
anxious to catch n glimpse of the man who
now occupies such a great share of public
attention , Mes'sengers bearing dispatches
nnd boxes were to be scenfconstahtly com
ing In nnd going out of Lord Rosebery's
house and It was evident the secretary of
state for foreign affairs was In active com
munication with the first lord of the adml-
rlilty , Lord Spencer , nnd the cabinet minis
ters. During thc morning Karl Spencer and
Hon. Henry II. Asqulth , secretary of state
for homo affairs , and other ministers called
upon Lord Rojebery and remained In consul
tation with him for some time.
The consultations nt Lord Rosebery's resi
dence ended toward noon , when Earl Spencer
left for Paddlngton railroad station , where
Sir William Vernon Hnrcourt , chancellor of
the exchequer , and the earl of Klinbcrly
Joined him , nnd they started on their way
to Windsor. Lord Rosebery and Mr. As-
nulth then drove to Mr. John Morley's houso.
where another consultation was hold. Lord
Rosebery a short time later drove to the
foreign ofllce , where ho remained during the
afternoon , Mr. Asqullh and Mr. John Morley
leaving for Windsor.
Upon arrival at Windsor the cabinet min
isters were driven to the castle and the
council meeting took place.
The Associated press learns from ono of
the guests nt the queen's dinner party that
It was an Informal affair and that Mr. Glad
stone appeared to bo in good health and
spirits and conversed during the meal with
great animation. This morning Mr. Glad
stone attended the divine service at St.
George's chapel , Windsor.
After Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone nnd the cab
inet ministers had. left Windsor It became
known that the queen had sent her private
secretary , Rt. Hon. Sir Henry Ponsonby , to
London , summoning Lord Rosebery to Windsor
ser castle. Among those who called upon
Lord Rosebery previous to his leaving for
Windsor were Rt. Hon. James Brlce , chan
cellor of the duchy of Lancaster ; Rt. Hon.
II. F. Dyke-Ackland , vice -president of the
council , nnd Ht. Hon. Sir James Ferguson.
COLD COMFORT FOR LABBY.
Numbers of tolcgraphiCminessages reached
Mr. Gladstone during the morning , some of
them being from Ireland , asking the pre
mier to reconsider his determination to retire
from office nnd recording resolutions at meetIngs -
Ings last night expressing sympathy with
the great liberal leader and urging him to
continue nt the head of the liberal party.
Among the towns which sent such messages
arc Belfast 4 > ondonderry , Cnvan and Mon-
aghan , four of the strongholds of Ulster
Ornngelsm.
The Westminster Gazette says Mr. Henry
Labouchero's "cave" of radicals numbers at
the most ten nlcmbcrs.
While It seems to bo settled that Lord
Rosebery will bo premier , there Is consider
able diversity of opinion as to who will bo
the next secretary of state for foreign affairs.
The general opinion seems to be that the
carl of Klmberley , who is now lord presi
dent of the council und secretary of state for
India , Is the coming man for this position.
Lord Klmberley lias had n great deal of ex
perience , having already filled the positions
of under secretary of state for foreign affairs
lor nuna aim nas ucen minister to Ht. Peters
burg , lord lieutenant of Ireland , lord privy
seal , twice secretary of state for the colonies
and secretary of state for India. The earl
of Klmberley was born In 1820.
Among the other cabinet changes dlscu ttd
Is the probability that Mr. John Morley , now
chief secretary for Ireland , will succeed the
earl of Klmberley as secretary ot state for
India , and If current rumor In official circles
Is to be believed , these are the only two cab
inet changes which will bo made.
The radicals , who have been making such
bitter opposition to tlio selection of a peer
for tlio premiership , are loud In their expres
sions of delight at the fact announced today
that Mr. Gladstone yesterday again refused
the queen's offer of a peerage.
The newspapers are praising the Attitude ,
In this state of cabinet upheaval , of the Irish
parliamentary party. In this connection the
Chronicle says that the attitude of the Irish
has been both uncompromising and strictly
proper , adding : "They have mode It quite
plain that they regard the leadership of thc
liberal party aa a matter for the decision of '
the party alone. The Irish loaders hnvo
scrupulously declined urgent solicitation to
join the radical cavo. As a matter of fact ,
the McCarthylteu do not take actlvo part In
the agitation for the londcrshlp , ns the
pledges they have already received are em
phatic , nnd , moreover , they feel confident of
Die elllcacy of their own voting strength.
"Tho Laboiichcro section of the radicals ,
on the other hand , says that unless the ox-
treino Irish demands are promptly satisfied
the Parnellltcs may co-operato with them
and Imperil the peer-led administration. "
CHANGE OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED.
It was officially announced lata this even
ing that the queen had accepted the resigna
tion of Mr. Gladstone and Hint her majesty
had summoned Lord Rospbcry anil offered
him the prime mlnlstcrnhlp. It was further
oirtclnlly announced that Lord Rosebcry 'had
accepted the position.
Most ot the members of the cabinet wort
present nt the dinner given by the carl ot
Klmborly this morning , Lord Roseberr ,
however , did not attend , It Is understood
that Edward Majorlhnnks , the chief llbcrnl
whip , to whom n radical deputation , headed
by Henry Lnhottchoro , protested against the
succession of Lord Rosebery to the premier-
ghlp , has replied to the protests , addressing
his reply to Mr. Lnbauchore. Ho submitted
the protest to the ministers and his reply Is
said to have been couched in conciliatory
language , his very evident purpose being to
prevent , If possible , the threatened defection
ot the rndlcalii. Whether Labouchoro's threat
to secede can be carried Into effect Is some
what n matter of conjecture , but It Is thor
oughly well known that Mr. Labouchere ,
who Is not nt nil n lover of tiie peerage , will
do all In his power to withdraw the radical
support from n Rosobory cabinet.
It Is freely asserted tonight that Lord
Rosebery and the liberal party will have to
face a grave crisis after the retirement of
Mr. Gladstone. In addition to the strong
objection that Is entertained by a large sec
tion of the new radical party to thc selection
of n peer ns a successor to Mr. Gladstone ,
there Is n feeling of soreness among thu
more moderate liberals nt thtMMvallcr man
ner In which Mr. Gladstone has treated hla
colleagues In the matter of his resignation.
SORE AT THE OLD MAN.
This soreness Is expressed in many ways
and wherever the members of any section
of the Gladstonlnn party * have met there
has been .some resentment nt the secretiveness -
ness of the leader In withholding from the
party an Intimation ot his Intention to lcld
up the ofllce. In common courtesy and
fairness to his supporters It Is declared that
ho should , before having taken so decisive
n step , called the party together and favored
them with the reasons for his rellnqulshmont
of the leadership of the party nt a critical
time. This fueling and the question that
has been separately demanded by Mr.
Labouchcro against the selection of n peer
as the successor ot Mr. Gladstone have com
bined to place the Gladstonlnns of every
shade of opinion In a very bitter frame of
mind.
( ji
More Important to the great bulk of the
liberal praty than the action of Mr. La-
bouchcrc Is thc attitude of thc antl-Parnclllto
party , which undoubtedly will have the
power to turn the ministry out of olllco any
day they choose. It Is believed communica
tions have passed between members of the
government and leaders of the Irish na
tionalists , The latter are said to have as
surances that the passage of homo rule will
still bo the chief aim of the government.
Lord Roseborv's nccentance of tlm nromlnr-
shlp will Involve only three or four cllanges
in the old cabinet. It is tolerably certain
the carl of Klmborly or Earl Spencer will
go to the foreign olllce nnd that John Mor
ley , the present chief secretary Jor Ireland ,
will become secretary of state for India.
The nationalists have intimated that Mr ,
Herbert Gladstone or Rt. Hon. Dyke-Aclnnd ,
vice president of the committee of thc coun
cil of education , must bo the now chief secre
tary for Ireland.
A curious fact In connection with the pros-
ant split In the liberal party , If split It may
bo termed , is that less than ten years ago
Lord Rosebery was the darling , of the radical
party because of his attempts to- reform the
House of Lords. Ills scheme , as then pro.
posed , took the United States senate as a
model. It included the proposition that
thc great municipalities and county councils
should elect the members of the House of
Lords. So far as Lord Rosebery himself is
concerned , ho is undoubtedly ono of the most
popular men In England today amonir all
political parties.

this morning. Tills leaves tlio defense com

that the youth and sex of the prisoner will
