NEW PROCESS OF MAKING SUGAR.-The
new process of sugar. making discovered by
Frobach, of Berlin, if it proves equal to all
that is claimed for it, will completely revo-
lutionize the sugar trade. For years it has
been conceded that the present method Of
extracting the sugar from the cane is defec-
tive and expensive. The new process dis
penses altogether with crushing and press

water is first extracted by alcoholic vapor,
the saccharine being left in the cane. This
is then treated with liquid alcohol. 1t is
asserted that this extracts all the saccha.
rine. Aferward the sugar is extracted
from the alcohol by being filtered through
lime aud chalk. If this process proves sue
cessful it will at once add third to the
present production of cane sugar, or at
least 100000 tons.-Bradstreet's.

SHAMEFUL CONDUCT.

The Illinois Legislative Excursion to New

Had Better Been Left at Home.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May "A special to
the Daily Neaos from Fulton, KY, slys:
"The excursion train is divided into two
divisions, running within half an hour Of
each other. Speaker Haines, Representa-
lives Conkrite, Kimbrough, Welch, Sena-
tors Duncan, Sherman and Hill were on
the first section, which consists of five
baggage car. The rougher element OF
the Legislature is on the second train,
which is comprised of the same number
of coaches. Quime O'Shea, McAlivey and
others of that class, who are in the
second train, complained much of the
silk-stocking element taking possession
of the best cars. They had good sup
ply of liquors with them, and their in
dignation waxed warmer the more they
drank They cursed the management OF
the excursion and caused general dis
turbance in their sleeper. At two O'Clock
yesterday morning they were still making
night hideous with their orgies. In one

The clerk was not acquainted with the

On protesting against this treatment, he
was ierked out of the berth and fell on

THE RlEL REVOLT.
General Middleton Resolves to Advance
without Awaiting Supplies.

General Middleton Resolves to Advance
without Awaiting Supplies.
WINNIPEG, MAN, May 2.-General Mid.
dleton, fearing that delay in moving north
might enable the rebels to recover from
their defeat at Fish Creek and strengthen
their position at Batouche, has decided
to advance at once without waiting for
the arrival of the steamer with
hospital stores. A severe engagement
may be looked for shortly, as
the rebels will undoubtedly show fight
again. No reliance is placed in the re-
port that the rebels are short of ammuni-
tion, as large quantities were obtained
during the first raid on stores at Ducks
Lake and Batouche, since which time
arms and ammunition have been taken
from all white settlers.
The country around Batouche is most
favorable for the kind of warfare the In-
dians and half-breeds indulge in, and the
latter, now finding their homes invaded,
will fight with will and determination
which none but those who know then
can realize. The troops, however, are bet
ter armed, and, assisted by big guns, will
probably dislodge them from their strong
holds.
A large number of arrests have beer
made by the police at Prince Albert o
parties suspected of being disaffecte(
and in sympathy with the rebels, as {
precautionary measure.
