WASHINGTON; March 7.-The House Ways and Means
Committee minority report on the Sugar Tariff Bill says that
the bill is the boldest attempt in the history of the Republic to
surrender a growing industry to foreigners.
It charges collusion between the Trust and the Demo
cracy. The bill is declared to be against the sugar producers
of America and solely in the interest of the Sugar Trust.

WASHINGTON, Parch 7. The arbitration amendment has been adopted.
Tho treatleL do not authorlzo tho admission of aliens to America or to its

No word has been received from
the health party that left for Hawaii
last Tuesday. A wireless was rather
expected from Dr. Pratt, president of
tho board of health, but no word has
so far reached Honolulu. Tho first

Saturday morning.
Dr. McCoy, who had a lot of export

is taking up the big campaign ngalnBt
