United States increases from less than
60,000 tons as It now is, to 1.80O.U00 tons,
it will not affect the price at which sugar
will be sold in the United States. But it
is said that If you open the markets of the
United States to Philippine sugar, the In
Cream In Its production will be unlimited,
and no one can ty how enormous the
Philippine production will become. The
greatest amount of sugar ever produced
for exportation in the Philippines was In
the year 1X93. when the total exportation
reached 2ti0,uu0 ions. The total consumed
in the Philippines is .about NG.000 tons. Now
the proposition that tt,e American market
is going to offer such a motive for the
production of sugar in ii:e Philippine
(stands as to increase Its exportation tiom
lflC.OiiO tons a year to I.Mkmioo. Is pvlpahly
absurd. Eighty-seven thousand tons i the
lowest on record for the exportation if
sugar. The price of sugar last, year was
an advance ovr the previous year quite
equal to the advance of price In Philippine
sugar if that sugar were allowed to come
In free to the ports of the United Slates,
and yet the effect of that uon the export
was only to increase it from 87.OU0 Ions to
100,000. And this, with a great deal of
sugar Fund lying fallow In the provinces
ot Negros and Pampanga. The price, of
sugar In Hollo last year was $.1.50 a pluul
of 1374 pounria. or 2.54 cents a pound laid
down In New York; the freight is o.z cent
and the Insurance Is Of cent, or a total
of 2.M cents, to which the duty of 0.88 cent
Is to be added, making a total of 3.74 cents.
At this price bi t 37.UU0 tons were exported.
Now, the proportion of the opponents of
the bill In that If this cost of layingdown
in New York, was 3.15 cents, or about 19 per
cent leas than at present, which would be
the effect of reducing the duty on suRar
from 75 to 25 per cent of the Dingley rates,
as how proposed, the importation from the
Philippines would Increase from 37,000 tons
to 1.800,000 tons, or 1,700 per cant. .
Capital and' Labor.
Much Is made of the probable investment
of American capital in sugar and sugar
machinery. In the nist place, by the laws
of the Philippines, enacted by congress, no
corporation can take up or bold more than
2.500 acres of land. This Is prohibitory so
far as new Investments In sugar plantations
are concerned, because the sugar cane pro
duced from such a tract would not Justify
: the investment of the amount needed for a
' modern sugar plant. A plant necessary for
the turning out of 16.000 tons of sugar an
nually costs $1.W0.MI. To produce 60O.UUO
tons jf sugar in the Philippines there must
be an investment of $13.0u0.000 In plant
alone, and to produce 1.70) 000 tons it would
require more than llio.ivo.rtil. and this does
not include tho heavy cost of preparing
land -for cane, which would certainly be
$15,004,io(l more. Is such an Investment to
be Induced by tha prospect of a reduction
In the cost of laying sugar down In the
American market at 19 per rent less than it
can now be laid down there?
Then the sugar men say. MAh. but you are
going to admit Chinese labor, and with
Chinese labor the possibilities of sugar pro

Ono.OO" cigars to all countries, wherens

The tobacco land of the Philippines for
export Is confined to lsabela. Cayaann,
llocos Norte, liocos Sur, Abra and Union.
Tobacco raised elsewhere Is for local con
sumption only. The two first provinces
are the Important ones. They are sparsely
settled, and the labor supply there is very
poor. The culture of tobacco Is not In the
hands of large landowners, but of small
farmers, whose care of the plants Is not
what It should be. There is very little
hoi of great expansion by Increase of
price, because of lack of labor.
Hope Lies In Help.
I do not think that the opening of the
markets of the United States to the sugar
and tobacco of the Philippines is going
to bring , about any enormous pecuniary
benefit to the Philippines as a whole. It
will stimulate the production of sugar and
the production of tobacco to some extent.
It will. 1 hope, restore the culture of both
to their former prosperity. The great
future or ine l-llllipimie inmnus. in
my Judgment lies in the extended
production of that of which the
islands have a complete monopoly of the
world Manila hemp. The production of
this, with machinery adapted to Its cheaper
preparation for the market, which Yankee
Ingenuity la certain to invent, will absorb
the labor and the capital of the Islands to
such an extent that sugar and tobacco
will remain as they now are. but secondary
in Importance in tre agriculture or ins
islands. Whv I am chieflv interested in
having the proposed legislation enacted at
this session is to convince the Kil'r-inos
that the American government Is anxious
to do what It can to stimulate their rr- s
peritv. and that no such chimerical injury
fo particular interests In this country will
prevent us from doing Justice to them and
giving them the benefit of our market
while they are practically part of our
country.

ADDRESSES BY GROSSCUP AND BREWER
Federal Jurists Head Paper Phases

the New Orasnlsa-
tlon.
NEW YORK. Nov. 3). At Its meeting to
day the Inter-church conference' on fed
eration changed the woVdltig of the phrase,
"Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour," In
the preamble Of the constitution of tho
federal council to read "Jesus Christ our
Divine Ixrd and Saviour."
It Is understood that this exchange has
excluded from tnemliershlp in the federal
council the Unitarians, on the ground that
they do not accept the theory of the divin
ity of Jesus Christ.
The addresses delii-ered today concerned
chjrfly the prospective practical benefits to
th conference. Among today's Speakers
were: Rev. D. S. Stephens, chancellor of
the Kansas City (Kan.) university; Rev.
Charles A. Pickey of Philadelphia, Rev.'
John flaltser of St. Txniis and Rev. Amory
II. Uradford of Mount Clair. N. J. Rev.
Mr. Baltaer urged an united appeal of the
body to the respective legislative bodies of
the states, railing for a greater respect
toward the oath In the court rocM and
elsewhere Rnd demanding more common
and stringent marriage laws, which he
said would be looked upon as a tnngiflle
result of this conference.
Rev. Bradford declared that the congress
ought to be Judged by Its remote rather
than Its Immediate results. Five years
from now, he SHld, the' world will not be
very different from ..what it would have
been if this congress had never been held.
And yet It will not have been in vain, for
It will have made the sin of a divided
Christlandom to appear more appalling and
the Importance of unity that shall be vital,
pervasive and enduring, more Imperative.
Resolution Drnonnelnu ;raft.
A resolution declaring that what men
today call graft, Jesus Christ called
covetousness and condemned more se
verely than any other vice, was proposed.
Rev. George Wenner of New York City,
pastor of Christ church, Introduced the
resolution, which was referred to the busi
ness committee.
A letter thanking the conference for Its
condemnation of the Jewish massacres in
Russia was read from Rev. II. Pierce
Mendes, president of the Union of Ortho
dox Jewish Congregations of the United
States and Canada.
Prof. Dealy's amendments broadening the
scope of the convention and providing for
the admission of religious denominations
not now members were Voted on later and
defeated.
It Is understood that the resolution to
Insert the word "divine," as applied to
Jesus Christ In the preamble of 'the con
stitution, excludes the Universalis a
well as the Unitarians and some other re
ligious bodies from membership In the
council.
A plea for 'Roman Catholics to Join the
federation was made by Rev. L C. Barnes
of Worcester. Mass.
Rev. Dr. Roberts, the permanent chair
man, said that Roman Catholics were nof?
1 excluded by the . terms of the proposition
of the federation.
At the' evening, session Judge Orusscup
of the United States circuit court of Chi
cago contributed the first paper on the
"Popular Conscience" in a discussion of
the unlUxV church4jynd the national life. .
He said: ,.

with regard to the shortage in the fire

had been submitted Acgust 29. 16, and
that to meet this he had asked that the

was hoped to meet the full shortage, but it

the mayor and the council that they place
$2,000 to the credit of the fire fund. He
invited the board to visit the office of the

had done so for several months past. He
thought It would give rise to a better un
derstanding of the city's need and condi

The license granted to CI. Jensen, Z2id

withheld because there was a second ap

ST. MALO, France, Nov. JO. Realisation
of the full extent of the disaster to the
cross-channel steamer Hilda came to the
people of St. Malo today as reports of the
finding of bodies were received from dif
ferent points along the nearby coast. In
all over sixty bodies have been washed up
Including that of Captain Gregory-, the
commander or the wrecked ship, which
now lies In the hospital here, and as fast
as Other bodies arrive they will be slaced
In room prepared foe thetr reception.

These vro Mrs. Rook, her . two children
and their governess; Dr. Stanley. Ills wife
and two daughters and a maid; JMaJor and
Mrs. Price; Mr. Wellesley and Mr1. Grlndle.
The survivors are rapidly recovering.
James Ounter, the only seaman of the
Rritlsh channel steamer Hilda saved from
the wreck of that vessel at ha-port on
Saturday night, sas there was no panic
on board. Attempts were made to lower
the boats, but the rough sea rendered It
Impossible. Gunter clung to the fittings of
the topmast with nine others below him,
including the Chief mate and three Britons,
who died during the nlfiht of exposure. The
Hilda atruck at 10 o'clock Saturday night.
It waa going very alow at the time. Rockets
were sent u;, but there was no response.
Seven minutes later the ship broke amid
ships and Its decks were swept bare, with
the exception of the few survivors who
clung to the mnst. They were rescued by
the steamer Ada at 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, after having endured twelve hours of
agony.
The entrance to the harbor of St. Malo is
one of the most difficult known to mariners.
On Saturday night a blinding snowstorm
with haze and high wind prevailed, and it
ts little wonder that even so experienced
a navigator as Captain Gregory lost his
reckoning, especially as at the point where
the Hilda struck only a few yards deviation
from the regular course meant destruction.
Torpedo boata despatched to the scene of
the wreck ascertained that there Is no hope
of salvaging the vessel.

PARIS, Nov. . Special reports received
here of the wreck of the sieamcr Hilda,
which left Southampton Friday night for
St. Malo, France, and waa totally wrecked
on Lea Portes reef, outside, the Jardln
lighthouse, yesterday morning, with the
loss of over loo Uvea, gives a graphic de
scription of the disaster. Owing to the
rough sea, together with a thick snow
storm, the captain of the II. da probubly
took the buoy light of the rocks for the
St. ilalo lighthouse. He gave signals
which were not seen by harbor employes
and then the steamer proceeded slowly to
ward the light. When ; the Hilda struck
the rocks the steamer's boilers exploded
and It was cut In two, giving the passen
gers no time to save their lives. Seven
bodies wearing life belts were stranded oft
the village of St. Cast yesterday evening.
The coast near St. Malo is covered with
wreckage and some cattle. Two-thlrda of
the Hilda's passengers were French farm
era returning to France with heavy sums
in gold from the sale of their yearly harv
est of onions and potatoes. The others
were English families who were going to
spend the winter at Dlnard. The wreck
lies on the beach three miles off 8t. Malo,
showing only Us main tnast and forecastle.
A correspondent of the Matin went to the
scene of the wreck on a government
steamer with the local officials. They
picked up five bodies which were entangled
in tho rigging of the Hilda. The bodies
presented a dreadful spectacle, with arms
and legs twisted In all directions and hands
torn with desperate struggling.
