DETAILS OF THE CONTEST. The Agricultural Department Worked Against Roosevelt Oxnard Looked as a Wizard. Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth Street. Washington, June 19 It is almost inconceivable that an Industry having an annual output valued at less that should deve'lop strength enough to defeat the President, using all the power and influence of his administration, in a legislative battle. Yet the little beet sugar industry, which produced only worth of artificial sugar in the census year, appears to have brought about a rout of the President's forces, forcing a complete surrender at the risk of splitting the great Republican party wide open.

The achievement of the beet sugar people is looked upon as one of the most remarkable ever recorded in the annals of legislation. Every one is asking, is back of it all? What are the beet sugar interests, that they should cause a score of Senators to ignore the President's personal and public official appeals and actually defy him? The fact of the matter is, the beet sugar campaign has been a source of great mystery ever since it was first inaugurated. Springing from apparently nothing, it gathered force and strength every day, and finally swept everything before it. The following official statement from the report of Director of the Census Merrlam regarding the beet sugar industry shows that it is not half as important as many other lines of business which are almost every year more or less injured by adverse legislation. "In the census year of 1900," says the report, "there were thirty one beet sugar factories in the United States, distributed among ten states and one territory, representing an invested capital of and producing 71,427 long tons of beet sugar, valued at 57.323.857." The report states that this is a small product in view of the amount of capital invested, but partly accounts for this by the fact that the census year was a bad one for beet sugar, a surprisingly laie proportion of the money invested has been expended in the purchase of beet sugar machinery.

Of the total capital of more than $20,000,000 invested, $14,420,325, or more than two thirds, was spent for machinery, and $682,705 for land and $3,891,000 for buildings. Henrv Oxnard. who has figured as the head of the beet sugar forces in the lobbying done at Washington, is said to be in control of the entire output of sugar mac.hinery, and this may have stimulated his keen interest in seeing that no reduction should be given to Cuban planters. When a study Is made of the states which the beet sugar factories are located, one is at a loss to account for the great activity displayed in defeating the wishes of the President that marked the conduct of certain Senators whose states cannot boast of a single establishment for turning out artificial sugar. More than half of the beet sugar factories are grouped in two states, Michigan and California, there being nine in the former and eight in the latter state.

The fourteen remaining factories are distributed as follows: One each in Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington, three in Nebraska, two in New York and three in Utah. There is no record that West Virginia is a great producer of the sugar beet; certain It is that there are no beet factories there, yet Senator. Blkins organized the revolt among the Republicans against the President. The President did not have the united support of his Cabinet in the fight. At least two members of the Cabinet were not in sympathy with the movement to reduce the duty on Cuban imports, and the machinery of the department of one of these officers was used to kill reciprocity.

There is no doubt that the influence of the Agricultural Department; through Us bureau chiefs and its connections with a great many agricultural papers throughout the country, was a factor In defeating the President's plans. The attitude of the Agricultural Department in this case was in direct contrast with its course in regard to oleomargarine legislation a few ago. It fought the oleo men, claiming that it was an artificial industry and hurtful to the farmers. 'Now the department helps the beet sugar industry, which is undoubtedly an artificial industry that can only be maintained by a system of bounties and protection. Henry Oxnard is now looked upon as the wizard of legislation.

From the very first he has stoutly claimed that there would be no relief for Cuba In the way of a reduced tariff for the island's sugars. He has stuck to this prediction with a persistency that is significant. No one has been able to learn what made him so confident at times when it looked as though a reciprocity bill would certainly go through. This is not the first time that Oxnard has helped knife measures that bore the stamp of executive approval. When John A.

Kasson was appointed special commissioner to draw up reciprocity treaties with foreign countries Oxnard went to him and said: "The beet sugar people will not object as long as you limit your negotiations to West India islands, and you may give them a reduction of not more than 10 per cent, on sugar. You must not make any arrangement with European countries for reciprocity in sugar, and if any such treaties are submitted to the Senate we will kill them." Several of the Kasson treaties with West Indian islands called for a reduction of 12 per cent, on sugars, and the treaties are still hanging fire in the Senate. Despite the valiant attempt of the Republican Senators to shift the burden of respon sibility in regard to President Cuban reciprocity Not Deceived by frotn their 0vn shoul Senatnr ders to those of the senators. President, and their haste in declaring that all friction between the Republican Senators was at an end and that peace and good will now prevail, those who are acquainted with the real facts in the case are not deceived. The fact of the matter is th long and bitter fight over the question of Cuban reciprocity has caused no end of personal friction between certain Republican Senators.

Men who have been for years the closest personal friends and have worked together upon nearly every political proposition that lias come before the Senate for consideration, have during the pa3t few days referred to each other in terms of bitterness and contempt and were the real sentiments of the opposing Senator made public there would be a washing of dirty linen with a vengeance Senators Piatt. Aldrich and Spconer, In fact, all the big men of the Senate, have come in for considerable censure from their colleagues and when the Republicans get to work to revise the tariff it win be found that instpad of working together harmoniously, as heretofore, there will be friction from the very initiation of the work. Senator Aldrich, with all his power and prestige, will find, it is believed, very great difficulty in controlling his associates on the committee. This Cuban fight, bitter as it has been, will be nothing in comparison to the contest that will" rage in Republican ranks when revision of the Dingley law Is begun. Senator Thomas C.

Piatt is one of the few men who are able to extract a little humor out of tne situation. When I asked him today what he thought, the vote would be on the canal question, he said: "If you tell me Piatt Tries to Solve a Conundrum. how the Democratic Senators will vote I will be able to tell you." Then he added, "And some of the Republican brethren may vote for the Panama proposition in order to ease their consciences. Having gone against the wishes of the President on the question of Cuban reciprocity they may think to smooth seeltto prevent our government from sup plying the Havemeyer Sugar Trust with a club wherewith to beat the life out of the cane and beet sugar industries of this country. None of these people thus put in the wrong will challenge the motives or deny the right of the President to hold the opinion that he.

holds in regard to the effect of tariff reduction uaon two branches of agriculture that are believed to be vitally dependant for successful development upon tariff protection as it stands to day, but they will naturally wonder how and why the President: arrived at a conclusion so diametrically opposite to their own beliefs and testimony," A.

ectionists Criticise the President for lis Cuban Policy Williams Talks on Immigration. Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth Street. Washington, June 19 Ex Appraiser Wake xnan is so much overjoyed at his succoss in what are known as the custom house Bilk frauds that he makes an open attack this week on. his enemies in the Treasury Department, and accuses them of interfering with him and preventing him from discharging his duties as general appraiser. He attacks the different officials by name, and includes in his list ex Secretary Gage.

Under the head "The Japanese Sik Frauds," the following statement will appear to morrow in the American Economist; "Former Appraiser Wakeman makes the following statement for publication: 'I wish to congratulate the admlnistration and every one identified with the recent development in connection with the Japanese silk frauds. This investigation was inaugurated by me in August, 1901. The cases are now in such shape, through the searching and exhaustive investigation of YV. Wick ham Smith, special deputy assistant attorney general, that they will have proper at tention, but naturally I turn to those Government officials who were responsible for failure in these cases and the lack of prose wheit they were first reported by me in August last. 'In endeavoring to discharge my duty as 'United States Appraiser, in accordance with the law and regulations, I found my efforts blocked in every direction by certain government officers who are named as follows: By the action of Assistant Appraiser Sherwood and Examiner Brown.

'Second By the action of the Collector's office. 'Third By the decision of the Solicitor of the Treasury, based on the doubtful question of fact submitted by the Collector's office. 'Fourth By the opinion and attitude of United. States District Attorney Burnett. 'Fifth By the decision of General Appraiser Sharretts.

'Sixth By the failure of Assistant Secretary Spauljding and ex Secretary Gage to give me departmental support. 'Seventh By the decision of the Treasury Department on the report of Supervis ing Special Agent Chance and Special Employe Johnson exonerating the importers and practically holding them blameless for any wrong doing." ThevCensus Bureau yesterday issued a re on the manufacture of needles and pins. It shows a cap Manufacture ital of $.1,235, 15S in 0f vested in the manu iwjt facture by the 43 Needle? and Puis. establisnments report. ing for the United Sitates.

This sum represents only the value of land, buildings, machinery, and the live capital utilized. The value of the products is the production of involved an outlay of $126,754 for salaries, for wages. $215,322 for miscellaneous, expenses and $972,570 for materials used, mill supplies, freight and fuel. William Williams. Commissioner of Immigration at New Y.ork, was again before senate uommittee on Immigration yesterday, giving his views on' the' pending bill to establish a new administrative law for this service.

Williams Talks on Matters. Mr. Williams also conferred with the Treasury Department re garawg certain affairs of his office and arranged for a number of changes that will soon take place at the Barge Office. Mr. Williams declined to talk for publication on this' point, but it is understood that there be a number cf dismissals, reductions and transfers in the New York office, probably within the next few days.

Commissioner Williams approves of the pending bill, in a general way. although he frankly admits that his experience in the service is too brief to warrant him passing judgment on certain provisions of the measure. The bill, which has already the House, brings together in one act all the laws relating to immigration, which are now scattered through many different statutes and are difficult to locate. It legalizes the creation of boards of special inquiry, with three instead of four, which will greatly 'increase the amount of work that can be performed at immigration stations with the existing number of inspectors. The bill imposes a fine of $100 for any attempt to bring here a diseased person.

Under the existing law no offense is committed unless such diseased person actually enters the United States. It provides that manifests may be sworn to upon arrival in the United States. The present law requiring that manifests Ish'all be sworn to before the United States Consul at the foreign port, is loss desirable and imposes some hardship upon the steamship companies, which must now perfect the manifests before sailing, though they may take on passengers at the last moment of pailing. It is proposed to add an educational test as a qualification for admission of aliens, but Mr. Williams does not care to express an opinion as to the advisability of this.

The bulk of our immigrants at present come from south Italy and from the Polish region of A.ustria Hungaria. The great majority of these people are iiiiterate and would be excluded under any kind of an educational test. They are not looked upon as the most desirable class of people. A favorable report has been made on the bill to set apart lands in South Dakota to Do Known as the Wind Cave National Park, and include a wonderful cavern. This is of great extent Notes on Pending Legislation.

with a multitude of connecting chambers and galleries, the interior formation being of, unusual wonder and beauty. It has never been thoroughly explored. It is in danger of defacement and spoliation, so It is proposed that the government buy the land and preserve the cave. Senator wants the government to authorize the holding of an exposition in Chicago this year for the purpose of endowing the Home for the Aged and Infirm Colored People, and showing the growth of the r.egro since emancipation. The official organ of the American Protective Tariff League, In its last number, makes a bitter attack on President Roosevelt and severely criticises his efforts to secure justice for Cuba.

Protectionists Attack the President. The high protectionists are so overjoyed at the success of their fight for beet sugar and incidentally for the Dingley bill and its protected interests that they have not even the good judgment to keep quiet. This is what the Tariff League sendp out this week from its headquarters In New York: "The President has decided to stand by his friend and protege. General Wood, Sugar Trust community of interest and all. So ho.

has planted his feet squarely on tariff reduction ground. "If the President is right the farmers in a dozen or more great Republican states are wrong, for they are absolutely unanimous in the statement that to remove from sugar and tobacco any part of the protection granted by the Dingley tariff snd permanently guaranteed by the Republican party will be injurious to both and probably destructive of one of these agricultural industries. If the President is right the framers of the Dingley tariff were wrong in providing for excessive and unnecessary protection to domestic sugar and tobacco.

On the lfith of June, the day when the bill appropriating for the erection of the monument in Fort Greene Park to the prison Ship martyrs passed the House of Representatives.

Captain P. F. Harrington reported to Admiral Barker that while making some excavations in the yard a lot of human hones were exposed which were undoubtedly those oC the prison martyrs. Admiral Barker wrote to fienernt Horatio C. Kins, who re quested that the bones be carefully cared for pending a consultation with the officers of the association, who would doubtless provide a proper casket and have the bones deposited in the martyrs' tomb.

S. V. White, through whose indefatigable efforts the bill for the erection of the monument was passed in the House, is confident that the Senate will ratify its previous action tnat tne senate win rtuny no and that the bill will soon be in the hands of the President. "WILLING "WOBKEKS ENTERTAIN.

23. to most heartily thank you for the great treat you I things for themselves by voting for the Spooner amendment, which is understood to be favored by him." Senator Matthew Stanley Quay showed great activity yesterday in behalf of the Nicaragua Canal. The Pennsylvania Senator is working hard for the statehood bill that will make states of the present territories of New Mexico. Indian Territory and Oklahoma. Senator Quay and a number of his friends have large business interests in New Mexico and he is making a personal fight for this measure against Senator Bov eridge and the Committee on.

Territories that pigeonholed it some time ago. The Southern Democrats are all in favor of the measure and, knowing this, Senator Quay, who is a past master of the science of political trading, has. it is believed, been able to work the statehood bill and the Nicaragua Canal proposition together in such a skillful manner as to secure Democratic votes for both. Should the Spooner amendment win out it will place another burden on the shoulders of the executive. The present Congress seems destined to go on record cowardly and irresponsible and should it turn over to the President both the Cuban and the canal questions for settlement It will establish what many public men believe a dangerous precedent.

It is argued that Congress should not abdicate its functions to the executive, but should legislate in a definite and positive way, instead of sending alternatives to the President. Those who do not like the one man power idea say Hint Congress alone is to blame for the new way of "settling" measures whfch appears to be getting popular. It is not believed in official circles that the President has been much deceived by the attitude of certain Senators in regard to Cuban reciprocity. It is true he has listened to the assurances given to him by several men that they were heart and sou! for reciprocity and were doing everything in their power to bring It about, while in reality they have all along been but lukewarm in their support. President Roosevelt has w.

tys of his own of finding out the real attit'jflc of public men on all great questions and "before he reaves the White House these men who have been playing the game at both ends will discover that they have never at any moment deceived the President, but that he has known of their insincerity and has held their attitude in the contempt that it deserved.

Harry Fisher. After the wedding ceremony the party partook of a wedding banquet prepared by Mr. Pearl, the steward of the LTnity Club. The parents of the bride and groom, with the officiating minister, occupied the head tables, while around the room were seated the hundred or more guests. There was a six course dinner, with wine, and the souvenirs were In the shape of flowers with bisque figures.

At the'close of the repast the Rev. Dr. Lyons made a brief but eloquent and witty address, in which he spoke highly of the character of the contracting parties, and of the mother and father of the bride and groom. Mrs. Wasserman was visibly affected during bis remarks.

In discussing at the Tuesday morning session of the Summer School in Philanthropic Work the need for trained workers. Commissioner of Charities Homer Folks made announcement of a progressive step about to be taken in this direction by his department. "In other lines." he. "the Charity Department is one. of the great educational forces of the city.

It is a great training school for doctors and nurses. The system of organized training for nurses and physicians in the city hospitals has done much to raise their standards and to do away with the rrlinm whipl! lias I i rnes attached to the service. Why should there not be something of the same utilization of the luireaus for outdoor relief and dependent children? Nothing could be more interesting or open wider possibilities for social study. I have no doubt that these opportunities will ultimately be utilized as were those of the hospitals for one I should be happy to lake a hand mt king a start in that direction. If any of this class care to take up such study and work in these rmreaus with the idea of fitting themselves as trained workers, I think we can arrange the matter on much the same basis as that accorded the student nurses." Mr.

Folks dwelt at some length on the difficulty of getting efficient workers for this branch of the city's work and the development of a required standard of experience and skill which, should be met by civil service candidates for the position.
