No one wil be allowed to land “rom such vessels, except passengers destined to St. Thom- | f | as, the master, the purser and doctor of i the vessel. i The U. S. S.

' Dear Sip:— Mr. Adamsen in a letter to the West | End News reiteraies nis statement made . before the Congressional Committee that . my figures in regard to the relative share . of profits by Bethlehem Factory and the | St. Croix Pianter are absolutely incor- . "reet. | It cannot belp M . Adamsen however to make this statement if he does not tollow it up by showing how they are incorrect. As a matter of fact my ficures | are incontrovertablc. : \ | The only assumptionI have made is | that the Ifaciory gets 12 lb. of 96° Crys- ! tals trom every 100 |b. of Cane deliver- | ed. Thai this assumption is fair and | reasonabie will be conceded by every- , body acguainted with the work of mod- . ern Sugar Factories, anid we are alwvays | given te understand that the Bethl-hem j concern is thoroughly mcdern and run by thoroughly competent E..gineers and ! Direcrors. Tne Sugar Factories in St. Croix refuse | to take canes ar the usua® price if the | Juice of the eanes falls below a Sucrose content of 17%. Should they fall below this amount a prcportional quantity is deducted from rhe 6 lb. of erysta! whaich are supposed to be given for every 100 Ib. canes. I'o my knowledge the Facto- ries are very particular on this point, and l knowing this the Contracting Planters are very careful to delivar only ripe canes. | Every year [ frequuatiy analyse ecanes from the Estates in St. Croix and these analyses are made at times distributed all through the growing season and I know that the Sucrose content in the juice is as a rule, nearer 197, than 17%;. Possibly, the Factory, not being bound by any rules as regards its own cane, may fre- quently reap canes more or less immature and thus reduce the general average, but, if this is the ecase, it does not concern
