WILL BE THE
BIG ISSUE
In the Presidential Campaign to Come
Next Year Republicans Investigating
San Francisco, June 22. Henry T.
Oxnard, president of the American Beet
Sugar Producers' Association, has pre
pared a reply to H. O. Havemeyer's re
cent argument before the industrial com
mission at Washington. ' He flatly
denies many of Mr. Havemeyer'a state
ments, and accuses that gentlemen ot
seeking to destroy the American beet
sugar industry in order to foster the
refineries that handle foreign raw materi
al, besides attempting to divert public
attention from the sugar trust by attack
ing the tariff. In bis statement given
in the Morning Call, Mr. Oxnard says:
"The two largest, in fact, the pioneer
tru3ts in the country as every one knows,
are the Standard Oil and Sugar trusts.
The Standard Oil Company does not en
joy its monopoly from the tariff and the
American Sugar Refining Company, ac
cording to Mr. Havemeyer, receives only
Z per cent protection. How absurd,
then, is it to say that the tariff is respon
sible for trusts. But right here, I wish
to dispute Mr. Havemeyer'a statement
regarding the protection afforded to
sugar refining, claiming that it only re
ceives a protection of Z per cent.
"In the Dingley tariff act sugar refin
ing receives a protection of an eighth of a
cent per pound and the testimony pro
duced before the waya and means com
mittee, of i hich Mr. Dingley was chair
man, brought out the fact that sugar in
a modern refinery, with the best ma
chinery, well located, can be refined at a
cost of about a quarter of a cent per
pound. We therefore find that sugar
refining under these conditions is re
ceiving a protection of not S-. but 50
per cent advalorem, based on the cost of
refining sugar. The protection granted
the sugar-producers who make the
article ot sugar itself, is 50 per cent
on the coet of raw sugar today, or
identical with the protection granted the
sugar-refining companies."
Mr. Oxnard declares that American
sugar-producers would suffer and the
development of the beet-sugar industry
be retarded by the admission of raw
sugar free of duty. He adds:
"There ia no trust among the sugar-
producers of tnis country and there never
can be, for the simple reason that the
beet-sugar industry can be started in al
most any part of the Union."
Deep Water at Columbia's Mouth.
Astoria, June 21. The channel of the
Columbia, or, as it ia generally called,
"the bar," ia rapidly ehif ting its position,
due undouDtedly to the effect of the jetty.
There ia now almost aa much water in
the old north channel as in the present
channel marked out by the buoya. Yes
terday Pilot Matthewa went out on the
tug Wallula and made soundings around
the mouth,, of the river. He headed
about northwest between buoya' No. 1
and 1)2, nearly in the lice with the old
north channel. He found in it no less
than twenty-five feet of water, and that
only at few pieces, clear out to deep
water. Captain Matthewa says that,
while the channel is undoubtedly shift
ing to the north and Peacock spit is dis
appearing, there ia as much water as
there ever was, and though some sand
ia piled up by a westerly wind, it soon
washes clear again, Fully realizing the
benefit that the jetty has been to the
bar, he feela confident that its extension
a mile farther out would increase its use

Last fall I sprained my left hip while
handling some heavy boxes'. The doctor
I called on said at first it was a slight
strain and would soon be well, but it
grew worse and. the doctor then said I
had rheumatism. It continued to grow
worse and I could hardly get around to
work. I went to a drug 6 tore and the
druggist recommended me to try Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one
half of a 50 cent bottle cured me entire

MORE FALSE
ARMY RUMORS
Story That Miles Will Succeed Otis at
Manila is Denied.
TALK ABOUT
ALGER'S GOING
General Wheeler Will Co to the Phil
ippines Alger Gave Indirect Con
firmation of the Report
Washington, June 21. A denial is
made at the war department that Gen
eral Miles is to succeed General Otis in
command in the Philippines. This was
hardly necessary, as it is not likely that
the war department will ever do any
thing for General Miles as long as Alger
and Corbin are managing affairs.
. The rumor is again revived that Hor
ace Porter will succeed Alger as secre
tary of war, and that Whitelaw Reid will
be sent to Paris. This ia another un
likely story, and ie evidently put out by
tho9e who desire to see such a result
brought about. Reid's recent and con
tinuous criticism of the administration
is not likely to result in any appointment
for him, and the president will find great
difficulty in getting Alger out, if Alger
determines to stav.
Will Be Sent to Manila.
Chicago, June 21. A special to the
Times-Herald from FotosKy, Mich., says :
Secretary of War Alger gave indirect
confirmation today to the report that
General Joseph Wheeler is to be assigned
to duty in the Philippines. When
questioned about it as he and General
Wheeler were about to leave for the
Grand Army camp fire, he replied
promptly : "There is nothing to say at
least not till I issue the order." The ac
cent, however, was unmistakable on the
words "the order."
"I am still in the service," said Gen
eral Wheeler, when questioned, "and
am subject to orders. I am not now un
der orders how soon I will be is for
Secretary Alger to decide."
