CUUSE OXNAKU.
Men Call Him
llect Sugar.
Trnlor to
Washington, Jan. 9. There was :
a meeting of Michigan beet sugar
men in Senator Burrow's room at
the Capitol today. The name of j
Henry T. Oxnard was mentioned, 1
interlar ed with curses both loud
and deep. He is credited with
"throwing" the beet sugar in
terests in favor of Cuban reciprocity,
through resolutions adopted last
night, wherein the Beet Sugar As-'
sociation withdrew its opposition to
'he treaty. The Michigan men re- j
lewed their pledge to fight the
reaty to the bitter end, but they !
onfessed that they did not know ,
exactly what to do. Democratic
Senators, especially Southerners,
are openly opposed to the treaty.
The cane sugar states are up in
arms now and the tobacco interests
are following suit. That there will
be active, if not successful, opposi
is assured.
Oxnard was asked today what
was the cause of withdrawing his
opposition to the treaty. He gave
his written reply: "While we
thought for reasons of police it was
wise not to further oppose" the
wishes of the Administration in re
gard to Cuba, we want it distinctly
uudprstood that we do not approve
of the principle of reciprocity in any
sense of the term and would like
to see every other reciprocity treaty
which may come up in the future

iS. The German cruiser Panther
this morning opened fire 011 Fort
San Carlos, the principal fortifica

this city. The German gunners
early got the range and shells were
dropped into the fort, three Venez
uelan gunners being wounded by
the fire.
The fort then opened upon the
cruiser, using four heavy guns.
The practice was very good and
after a few shots being fired the
cruiser drew off and abandoned the
attempt to reduce the fortification.

Chaffee Was Uently to Sole Chinese
Treasure.
New York, January 9. If Prcsi
dent McKinley had not forbidden
it, General Chaffee admitted this
evening in an address at the Hamil
ton Club in Brooklyn, where he
was the guest of honor at a dinner
in commemoration of the birtuday
of Alexander Hamilton, he would
have seized treasure worth $80,000,
000 'when he was in command of
the American troops in China. He
knew the location of this treasure
in the Forbidden City, and had
planned to take possession of it, he
said, when the President vetoed
the proposition. It was his inten
tion to hold out any amount that
might be settled upon as a proper
indemnity. '
"We and the Japanese had the
honor of guarding the gate to the
Forbidden City," said Chaffee,
"and within the walls was the
greatest treasure in the Chinese
empire, including the jewels of the
Kmpress Dowager. So great was
its volume that it took a hundred
Chinese soldiers twenty days to
transport it from the winter palace
to the house where it was secreted.
I even had a map of the Forbidden
City, with location of the house
where the treasure was concealed
plainly marked on it, and at a
moment's notice I could have seized
the entire amount had not my
hands been tied."

Senator Mitchell of Oregon will in

ture is also reduced to 21 instead of

At a plague conference held here
with Surgeon General Wymau and

adopted expressing a belief in the
existence of plague in that city atid
calling upon Governor Pardee,

ures for the suppression of the dis
ease. A delegate here from San
Francisco denies the existence of
any plague there.
