THE CENTRAL FACTORIES FOR
ST. CROIX.
(From Dagbladet.}

The object of the Draft of Law about
Factories, which the Minister of Finances
laid before the Folketing yesterday
10Th Jan.), is to empower the Minister
to loan out of the Statetreasury's means
a sum not exceeding 3 millions of Crowns
III million Rixdollers) to a Joint Stock
Company, which shall have been formed
before the end of the year 1875 for the
erection and working of Central Factories
for the manufacture of cane sugar in st.
Croix, with a capital Of which One-halt
must be subscribed in the island, and
which the Colonial Treasury guarantees
an interest of 6 pr. CT. The loan which
must not exceed one-half of the capital
expended in the erection of the factories
will be secured by mortgage in the real
property of the company in the Westin-
dies, and pay interest and instadlments
with such a yearly amount, that the whole
has been paid back in 90 years
The Minister is also empowered to
grant the company the usual immunities
with regard to the use of stamped paper,
and finally it is enacted that the bonds
of a Credit Association for Sugar Estates
in st. Croix can be received by the State
treasury 80 payment for its mortgage

FRANCE.
PARIS, Jan. II, 9. 80 pm.
Although defeated by the Assembly, the Gov
eminent are not disposed to tolerate violent at
tacks upon it. The Figaro, having INDUCED in
imnutations against the Chamber, has been warn
ed that the severest measu eS will be taken in fu-
ture against any paper which attacks powers which
should always be respected-the National Assem-
bly and the Marshal. President of the Republic.
M. st. Genest, the writer of the article, who has
often been charged with melting the Marshal to
a coup d'etat, announces his intention to abandon
journalism until a law on the press supersedes the
State of Siege. The Bonarartist GauIois has
also been admonished to abstain from attacks on
the Assembly.
The DebGtS says:-
"There has been a great talk in the Hobbies of
the National Assembly of q Convention which was
signed on Saturday morning between the Minis
ter of Public Works, NJ. Caillaux, ana a society
of capitalists, presided over by NJ Michel Cheva.
lier, and in which the Northern Railway Company
has an interest. The object of this Convention
is the projected submarine tunnel between Calais
and Dover. Several years ago a French engi-
neer, M. Thonie de Gamond, examined the posi-
biity Of establishing a submarine tunnel. An
English engineer of great merit, Sir John Hawk
shaw, continued these duties and arrived at an
analogous conclusion. An endeavour was then
made to form an international company but the
difficulty of establishing this Society, on account
of the difference between English and French
legislation, rendered another process necessary.
Two Societies were constituted-one French, the
other English. They form a Committe or Socie-
ty of Inquiry. They will spend 1900, 000f. in
studying the question:, and if they come to a
favourable conclusion they will form defnitive

claims on estates in the island, provided
the Credit Association pays interest on
its bonds at the rate of 5 p. CT. and re-
duces them with 8 p. CT. P. a. The
Motives refer to the unfortunate financial
state of the island which threaten to put
a stop to cane cultivation, although the
canes produced contain more saccharine
matter than those of most other West
india islands. The treatment OF the canes
is extremely backward, the extraction OF
the juice, the boiling, and especially the
cleansing is as primitive as possible. BY
the erection Of Central Factories,
it will be possible, by means OF
better machinery and better manage
ment, to produce more and better
sugar, the planter will be able to con-
c|entrate his whole attention on the
cultivation and increase his production
of canes, as he will be able both to Gull
tivate his land better and have his whole
labour force at his disposal, whilst he
must now employ a part OF it in the
Boiling House at a time when the field
work is the most pressing. By this dlvl-
sion of the work the way will also be
paved, in the easiest manner, for treer la
bour relations and an easier avenue to the
acquisition of property for parties with
small means. The expenses connect
ell with the erection of two Central
Factories general boiling places near
the two towns, and of 10 stations TOR the
extraction of juice in different parts of
the island, with pipes to convey the juice
to the 2 boiling places and tramways to
the estates, are prellmlnariy estimated
at II million dollars. An average crop
is now estimated at about 5000 hhds OF
sugar of 1900 lbs. each the annual ex-
penses at from S64O. 900 to $675000, and
the income at present prices, to S75 per
hid, consequently S675, 600. The anne
Iteration OF the product would enhance
its value to S85 per hid, the better me-
thod would increase the yield of sugar
in the proportion of 5 to S., and the aver
age crop would consequently give $4,000
hhds at $95, that is, an income OF
SI,224,O0O Opinion among planters
is entirely in favor of the change of sys-
TEN and 5 of the canes OF all the island
are secured for 10 years for the eventual
Factories. The Report of the technicist
who was sent at the expense of the Co.
lonial Treasury, different statistical eluci-
dations concerning things in ST.. Croix
and Drafts of Ordinances concerning the
erection of Central Factories and q Credit
Association, accompany the Motives as
vouchers.
