The proprietors of the American Re-
fnery have recently closed contracts
with certain Hawaiian planters for about
two-thirds of the Sugar crop for the
ensuing year. This means $4,000 tons,
and possibly 6o,ooo tons. The con-
tract is to run three years. Heretofore
these contracts have been made
annually, and for the past two years the
California Refinery has been the pur-
chaser. AS that refinery already con-
trolls about third Of the crop from its
own plantations, the purchase Of the
other two-thirds gave it practi-
cally the entire crop of the
Islands. This has been the case
during the year now drawing to close
Two years ago the contract was on the
Manila basis which meant the cost of
dutiable sugar from the PHILIPPINE Is
lands delivered at San Francisco. Last
September the contract was on the
Cuban basis at New York less &c per
d. The contract just made by the
American Refinery is also on the Cuban
basis, which mems the price of dutiable
Cuban Sugar at New York less nc.
This is the best rate ever made with
the Hawaiian planters, as the Cuban
basis at New York is invariably lower
than the Manila basis at San Francisco.
The Hawaiian planters have the option
Of getting their sugars to San Fran
cisco in their own way. If they can
save S. per ton in freight, it will make
a difference Of over 100000. The
commission for handling the Sugar is
also considerable item in favor of the
contracting parties. The works of the
American Refinery are being enlarged
by the addition of wharf, warehouse
and manufacturing facilities. The
business has also been reincorporated
with enlarged capital, which is now

the enterprise is supposed to argue well
for its success, and at the same time

Office in San Francisco The object is

fining in this State. The capital amount:

Several bands of street boys also

proposal to compel his %abdicaslon has
been under consideration at St.
Petersburg. The Prince, however,
is in no danger. Europe does not
disapprove his act, and he could only
be removed by an invasion which
might plunge all Europe into war.
The Russians, in fact, have not had
such a blow for years, and are loud
in their charges Of ingratltude, which,
had their object been to free BuIga-
rians, would have been well found
ed. They fought, however, for their
own hands, and took a territorial COM
pensation for their efforts. The most
inexplicable thing in the situation
is the action Of Austria, which desires
SaIonica, yet allows King Milan to
throw himself right across the path.

he labourrd as a man labnurs to earn

and he was the founder and main
spring of the Ragged Schools, out Of
which The demand for national edu.
cation originally sprang. He was,
however, no vie"y or screaming phil
anthropist. Though not possessed of
the highest abilities, he was a man of
hard sense, knew exactly what was
possible, and was very rarely taken
in. All the Acts he passed proved
fruitful, and one were ever repealed;
and though he did not choose Bishops
very well, the men he selected for his
social inquiries rarely or never failed
in their work. His exceeding reli-

N Othlng new has occurred I'm me
Balkan Peninsula; but there is no
peace there yet, or reason for brliev-
ing in peace. The accounts received
all Indicate that The Ambassadors who
on Thursday commenced their meet
ings in Constantinople, will ratify
the junction Of the Bulgarias under
Prince Alexander, Turkey receiving
in exchange certain promises of tri.
butte. That matter is, therefore,
settled, though formalities must be
observed /; but there are other qups-
lions to be considered more difficult.
The King OF Servia has mObiIised his
army, $4,000 rifemen, has raised a
loan of "A million and threatens, if
Servian claims are not conceded by
the Powers, to occupy Old Srrvia, or,
at least, all he can hold. Greece a'sO
is in violent c0mMOtion; and the
Government must, it is believed, de-
mand Epirus, if not also Macedonia.
To satisfy all the claims-which are
substantially just, the moral right of
Turkey to rule having ceased with
Batuk,--it would be necessary to break
up European Turkey. The Powers
wish to avoid that but they cannot
without making some concessions, rs
the Servian and Greek Thrones would
fall. The question for the AmbasSa-
doris therefore, is to discover the least
amount which will be accepted as a
sufficient instaIment, and to induce
Turkey to yield that amount peacea-
bly,. That will tax their resources of
skill and as the Servians are aware
that their country cannot be occupied
without a great war, it is quite on the
cards that they may advance next
week, and leave Turkey no a%lterna-
tive but fighting. The Sultan, it is
said, finds his army in Macedonia in
a horrible state; he will not use the
Regulars in The capital lest there
should be instruction and he is sum
moning recruits from Asia Minor, who
will want everything, and whom the
Pashas cannot hold in hand.
The Russian statesmen are greatly
excited by the junction of the Bull
garias. Wiser than Lord Beacons-
field, they see not only that a strong
Bulgaria will be independent of them,
but that as soon as each State in the
Balkans obtains it's natural frontiers,
the project of federation, which will
shut out Russia from Oonstantinople,
must gain ground. Already alliances
have been considered and if any
Prince showed marked ability, a
%stricter bond directed to military
purposes only would at once become
possible. All the Russian journals,

4 Handsome Compliment.

The New England Farmer publish
ed at Boston, one of the best agricul.
tural journals in the country, pays
the following compliment to the re-
ports of the Wisconsin State Agricul-
turai Society. The compliment from
this valued s0urse includes not only
the report of the society. but also q
tribnte to the resources of Wisconsin ::
From Clinton Babhitt, secretary,
we have received a copy of the WIS
consin State Agricultural, Herticul-
tural and DairYmen's Associations
reports for the year 1883 neatly
printed and substantially bound vol
ume of 825 pages. If the agricultural
character Of a state may be judged by
the value Il its annual agricultural
reports, Wisconsin can be behind
none of her sister states as place to
emigrate to, Or to- remain in when
there. It is really refreshing to read
the reports of her public meetings
where the farmers and professors
from the agricultural school meet to
discuss subjects Of general interest.
In no public debate have we seen
the vexed questions Of free trade and
protection more earnestly, nor more
ably discussed, than III the agricul
tural meetings of the Wisconsin
farmers. Eastern men who propose
to go west and grow up with the
country, will have to travel beyond
Wisconsin to find place to begin as
pioneer farmers. The best variety of
apples, pears, and the small fruits; the
means for destrOy1no iuiuriOus in
sects; the best methods of dairying,
and keep tn. boys at hone on the
farm" are questions that are discuss
ed, with all the interest and familari-
ty to be expected Ia the oldest eastern
states.
