CONGRESS.The senate, sitting as a court of im-

peachment, listened to the reading ofJudge Swayne's response to thecharges made against him. The actualtrial of the case begins on February 10.

The senate took a whirl at the freeseed item in the agricultural appro-priation, but aftet a few speeches proand con it went through as usual.

After a protracted debate the houseadopted the conference report on thelegislative, executive and judicial ap-propriation bill. As agreed to the billcarries $29,132,242.

Senator Lodge has introduced a billauthorizing the striking of bronzemedals of honor to be awarded to per-sons displaying conspicuous courageor undergoing great danger in savinglives in railroad wrecks or preventingsuch wrecks.

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST.Gen. Grippenberg, in command of the

second army of Manchuria, is reportedseriously ill, and may return to Russia.

United States Vice-Consul Smith, atMoscow, has visited the Japanese pris-oners of war at Medved, Russia, andreports them comfortably housed andfed.

Field Marshal Oyama reports that inthe recent battle on the Hun river atleast seven Russian divisions, includ-ing one of cavalry, were engaged. Fourregiments are reported by prisoners tohave been practically annihilated.

The Ave days' battle on the Hun riv-er in Manchuria yielded no practicalresults, both sides maintaining theirformer positions. The cost to Russia,however, was.particularly heavy, be-ing .the attacking party.

It is ofieially reported from Gen.Oku's army headquarters in Man-churia by the chief surgeon, that inthe entire Japanese army since itslanding, on May 6 last, there have beenonly 40 deaths from disease, a recordunequaled in the history of warfare.

The London Daily Telegraph's Toklocorrespondent says the Ruse~an casual-ties in the sagagements from January25 to hJanuary 2 are estimated at be-tween 36,000 and 432000, and those ofthe Japanese 7,000.

GUCONDITION OF THE CROPS

Weather Bureau's Summary of Con-ditions for January.

WIiter Wheat Gncarally Well Pro-Tected in the West. But Not

so Well Eastward.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The weatherbureau's sumn ary of crop conditionsfor the month of January, 1905, is asfollows:

East of the Rocky mountains themonth was colder than the average,with light precipitation in most dis-tricts. In the Rocky mountain regionand to the westward the temperaturewas milder than usual, with more thanthe average precipitation in the south-ern plateau region and southern Cal-ifornia, and much less than the av-erage precipitation as a whole.Throughout the southern states themonth was unfavorable for agricul-tural interests in that section. The re-ports indicate that winter wheat wasgenerally well protected westward ofthe Mississippi river, and also in por-tions of the Ohio valley and middleAtlantic states, but over much of thelast named district there was Insuff-cient snow protection during the se-verest weather and in portions of Illi-nois and Indiana it is feared that thecrop has suffered injury, large `reasbeing covered with ice. On the northPacific coast the outlook is favora-ble, except for late sown in Washing-ton. In California the prospect is ex-cellent along the Sacramento river,where some damage has been causedby heavy rains.

THE JAP PRISONERS OF WAR

M'INTYRE PLEADED GUILTYThe Chargre Agalnt Him Is Thail

of Frandulently Obtalninl

Money From Banks.

New' York, Feb. 1.-Philip McIntyre,of Nashville, Tenn., plea4ed guilty toa charge of passing a fraudulent checkon the Citizens' national bank of Nor-folk, Va., when arraigned in theTombs police court. McIntyre was ar-rested here several days ago, upon thearrival of a steamer froim Vera Cruz,charged with passing a worthless draftat a bank in the City of Mexico. Theoriginal charge against McIntyre wasdismissed after a hearing before UnitedStates Commissioner Shields, but isthe meantime a private detective bu-reau entered a complaint against theman, charging that the police had beensearching for the prisoner for months,and that he was wanted in more thantwenty cities on ,a charge of fraudu-lently obtaining money from bankaThe charge to which he pleade4 guiltywas one of these.

Later McIntyre made a plea for thedismissal of the case, but it was of noavail when Deputy Assistant DistrictAttorney Johnston showed the magidtrate fifteen telegrams from as manydifferent cities saying that the prison-er was wanted in each to answercharges of forgery. A representativeof the American Bankers' associationpresented an additional charge. Themagistrate therefore adjourned the es-amination to Thursday and increasedthe bail from $2.500 to $4.000.

McIntyre said he would be able tofurnish cash baiL.

SOME WONDERFUL RESULTSTriumph of Japanese Surgery amd

LOUISIANA STATE NE:WSThe Sugar Outlo6k f6to 1905.

'llhe Picayvune, in IlicuSu-ilsg thheprospe.t- fo-r the sugar .rop for the

pr..'t' at 'ztr, s; ii! h;. t wVt•i:With the sugar crop of 1904 barely

out cf the way, sugar producers aretaking a brief respite from trouble.but at the same time they are takingadvantage of every (lay of goodweather to overhaul their equipmentand perpare their lands for the springplanting. which is expected to be un-commonly heavy.

The success of the season justclosed has greatly encouraged theLouisiana sugar industry,. and it is un-doubtedly the intention of everyplanter to increase his acreage asmuch as his supply of seed will per-mit. Lands, which last year were di-verted to cotton and rice will be re-turned to sugar wherever a supply ofseed cane can be secured. and in themore northerly parishes, where cottonIs the main crop, but where the sugarindustry has never been entirelyabandoned, the tendency is to increasesugar acreage at the expense of cot-ton.

While the favorable character oftoe past season is. of course, the mainstimulating influence in the proposedincrease in cane acreage for 1903.sugar planters have realized that thesugar crop is infinitely more reliablethan either cotton or rice. Whilelike all other agricultural products itis liable to price fluctuations and isdependent on the weather conditions.at the same time it suffers fewer dis-asters from meteorological conditions.and prices fluctuate less than is thecase in other industries.

While the cultivation of sugar caneis affected largely by weather condi-tions, the manufacturing branch of theIndustry is more stable. The factoryhaving the most perfect machinery.the largest capacity and the ablestmanagement invariably gives the bestresults and the great benefit of anuncommonly good year. such as thatclosed, is the means it puts in theproducers' hands to improve the fac-tories by the iddition of the latestmachinery as well as by e-nlarging thecapacity.

The tendency In the sugar industryis toward gradually divorcing themanufacturing from the purely agri-cultural branch of the business. Theindividual sugar factory. that is. thepossession of a factory by every plan-tation, is an expensive arrangement.which does not give the best results.Being manufacturer as well as planter.the sugar producers' energies are di-vided, and he neither secures the bestresults from his fields nor the bestresults from his factory. In everyother part of the world where sugarproduction is successful the centralfactory system is In vogue to a muchgreater extent than in Louisiana. Itis true that we have some central fac-tories here, but as a rule they do notcompare in capacity with the big "cen-trals" of Cuba. In an industry wherethe margin of profit is figured down sofine, as is the case in sugar. the cost

of manufacturing is of the utmost con-sequence. As an ordinary thing, thelarger the mill the cheaper the costof manufacturing.

The several successive poor seasonsimmediately preceding the season of1904 checked the extension of the cen-tral factory system in this State. butthe success of last year should stimu-late a fresh departure along that line.There are. of course, limits to the sizeof factories, due to the ability to se-

cure supplies of cane. The factorycannot be located too far from thefields from which it draws its supplyof cane. Constantly improving trans-

portation facilities will steadily widenthe sphere of influence of the centralfactory and correspondingly diminishthe number of individual plantationfactories.

Truck Only Slightly Damalad.Reports from truck growers in the

Covington section show that the re-

cent cold weather did only slight

damage to truck. Cabbages, let-

tuco and beets were only slightly in-jured. The onion crop was unaf-fected. Plants in hotbeds suffered

only slight loss.Pe nitntiary Aevemnu.

The 'enitntiary Board of Controlhas practically disposed of all of its

cotton raised this year by. the con-

victs on Angola farm, but the reve-

nues of the penitentiary this month,from the present indications, will be

State treasurer for last month. The

penitentiary settles with the Stateabout the 15th of every month. Atthe last .pttlement, made the 15th

of January. about $10,000 wasturned over to the State by the pen-itentiary, and the revenues for the

ed tw about $48,000, and this sumwill be greatly increased, by the re-

turns made u.l to-the middle of thismonth.
