TRADE WITH CUBA TO TM CONGRESS ■’ - ’ SUGAR GROWING INTERESTS TO BE LIVELY ISSUE WHEN CON- GRESS CONVENES. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—The question as to what tariff arrangements will be made between the United States and Cu ba at the next congress is a live topic in tlft-sugar-growing states of this coun try and also in Europe. "While the agita tion for free trade with Cuba is by no means In any immediate hope of consum mation. foreign countries that export ar ticles of commerce to the United States fear that there is such a friendly feeling between the United States and Cuba that their products will suffer because of con cessions granted to the Cubans. It would be natural to suppose that the United States would be more conciliatory to Cu ba in the matter of tariffs than to any other ewMfy on account of the friendly relations that have existed. While the fear of European nations in this respect appears not entirely well founded, dtill the prospect of tariff modltications between Cdba and the United States indicates that they have some ground for apprehension. The American consul general at Berlin, Frank H. Mason, has sent to the state department a report on what he terms the impending crisis in European sugar. He says tha| it is generally recognised that the beet sugar industry of Central Europe is approaching a critical con juncture. Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ffhnce and Russia are now gathering a beet crop . .which will yield an output of sugar far surpassing in quantity that of any previous year. This overwhelming production, he says, comes unfortunately for Germany at a time wnen Industrial depression and a short wheat and rye crop jjave seriously reducted the purchas ing capacity of the poorer classes, so that a high commercial authority eetimatee the decline in sugar consumption in Ger many alone during the fiscal year 1901-02 at 75.000 tons. To complete and still furth er darken the shadow, Cuba has reap peared as a vigorous and threatening competitor in the United States, which during the past four yean, has taken an average of 283,000 metric tons of German sugar valued roughly at 812,614,000 per an num. * -i Under these. conditions the price of sugar has fallen in the controlling market at Madgehurg to the lowest point reached during the critical year 1894-96, from which it was rescued by an advance in the export duty and a constantly increas ing home consumption of sugar, which was then favored by prosperous indus tries pnd growing export trade, which steadily augmented the comfort and pur chasing power of a large percentage of the Germkn people. Now, however, it is geheratiy recognized that ths only reme dy tn Germany will be tn the direction of diminishing production, gnd the chief organ of- the German sugar industry de clares”that a definite and important re striction of the beet sugar area to be planted next spring has become an un avoidable necessity. Fdr these obvious reasons, says the con sul. great interest has been awakened throughout Germany by the recent visit to Washington of the governor-general of Cuba, and the conviction is growing that, notwithstanding ail doubts and sus picions, Cuba )a- really- about to begin the career of ah Independent state under the generous and sympathetic protection of the United States and under conditions that will favor the development of the stfgar industry of the island to a point above the highest productiveness of fOr , liter yedrt. The obviotis and sustained ; friendliness of the United States govern ment, he says, to Cuba, the impending in crease of sugar production in Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines, added to the steady arid rapid development of the beet' sugar industry throughout a large area ot the United States, all point to an inevit able and deflnite decline in European ex ports to our country, and confirm the judgment of those who foresee the only effective remedy for ruinously low prices ■will be a systematic reduction of beet arek and product.

HILI PUB FARE TWICE HE ASKED FOR A TICKET TO LULA AND GOT ONE TO NEWNAN. Hon. Joe Hill Hill, member of the hoUM of representatives, had to pay double rail road fare on the Southern railroad Mon day night. Mr. Hall was en route to Cleveland, In White county, where he made a speech yesterday In advocacy, it is said, of Hon. Dupont Guerry for governor. When the conductor came through the train for tickets Mr. Hall did not draw forth a pass, as do some members of the general assem bly, but drew from his vest pocket a small piece of pasteboard which had printed on it: “Atlanta to Newnan, Atlanta and West- Point Railway Company. Good for one first-class passage." Mr. Hall was on th® Southern. 1 The conductor, so the story goes, looked at the ticket and then at Mr. Hail. He wore an astonished look. Mr. Hall was paying no attention to the conductor and was gasing out of the window as the train dashed on at a lively clip. The con ductor touched Mr. Hall on the arm. Pgr* r haps he recognised the statesman from Bibb. Anyway, he is said to have asked Mr. Hall where he was -going. The anti* railroad man replied, that he was under the impression the ticket would give the con ductor that information. The conductor said to Mr. Hall that Newnan was -not on the line of the Southern. Mr. Hall said he was well acquainted with that faot, The ticket taker then requested Mr. Hall to be so kind as to relate to him how he expected to travel on the Southern with a ticket to Newnan, and at the same time showed Mr. Hall the ticket. Mr. Hall was at a loss as to what to do. In fact‘he asked the conductor what to do. The con ductor said he roust pay his fare. Mr. Hall paid to Cornelia. Some of Mr. Hairs friends have been laughing over the incident, which wall first related by-a senator who was on the train. The representative, however, says that he fails to see anything amusing Ln it* GEORGiTPOSTMASTERS APPOINTED YESTERDAY WASHINGTON. D.
