A SUGAR SYMPOSIUM.

A cablegram to the New York
Herald represents English political
philosophers as fondling the beet
root as if in it England had at last
discovered the winning weapon with
which to combat American agricul-
tural competition. The correspon-
dent says s:-"These learned men
are now attempting, 10 teach the
British farmer how to1orofitably cul-
tivate the sugar beet. 1t is easier
to grow, they say, than wheat, and
more profitable to sell, and, if Cor
don manages to turn over a lease of
Khartoum to England, that is the
country to emigrate to, because
sugar beets can be cultivated there
better and with greater profit than
anywhere in the world
The total receipts of foreign sugar
at all American ports on the Atlantic
seaboard last year were 1885, ,964
tons of 2240 pounds. OF this
amount, SS,917 tons remained on
hand Dec. 31st, and 63,G43 tons
were exported to Canada, thus leav-
ing 98l,404 tons of foreign raw
sugar consumed in the United States
during the year. Add to this 1885,
443 tons, the amount produced by
the Southern States, and the total
consumption of sugar was l,l16,s ,s47
tons, which is an increase of G5, 1882
tons over the previous year. The
sugar importations Of the Pacific
Coast are not included in the above
figures.

ing at Sportsmen's Park, between George

first round, which lasted one minute and ten
seconds. The round WIS begun bv forced
fighting on the part of Fryer, who was very
active as compared with his opponent. Rookie
was driven toward his corner and pressed
against the ropes by FRYER, who gave him
one straight from the shoulder which landed
on Rockies right arm, paralyzing the mus
cles to such an extent that he dropped his
guard in dazed manner. Fryer then landed
a side blow on Rockies jaw knocking him
down. Rookie had just strength enough to
pick himself up. He was groggy and ad-
vanced on Fryer who struck him under the
left Jaw, telling him like log Rookie was
picked up nearly senseless and carried to his

COMMITTEE CHANGES.
The Work OF the Republican Senatorial
Caucus Completed.

WASHINGTON, March IL.
The caucus OF republican senators and its
caucus committees, which has been engaged
in the allotment of places on majority sides
Of Senate committees, finished their task to-
day. Senator Conger succeeds to the chair
nlanship of the committee on postotfices,
made vacant bv the retirement of Senator
Hill. Pike takes the chair OF the committee
on claims, held by Cameron of Wisconsin.
Senator Sewall takes senator Logau's place
at the head of the committee on military
affairs. Evarts is made 4 member of the
committed on judiciary, and of that on for
eign affairs. Senator Teller is made chair
man of the committee on mines and mining
and a member of the committee on public
lands.
The Judiciary committee is increased by
one. and the commerce and public buildings
committees by two members each.
Many other changes were made and the
task of the caucus committee was found to
be one Of considerable difficulty Its mem
bers are unusually reticent about their pro-
ceedings, bat it is understood that the feature
of their work which proved most perplexing
was related to the finance committee. Sen
ator Sherman, it is said, asked to be relieved
from further service on this committee unless
its composition was changed in some respects.
He is credited with an impression that New
England ideas were dominant in the commit
tee, and is said to have given this as his rea-
son for wishing TO withdraw. This, it is re-
ported, when brought before the full caucus,
precipitated the discussion of the tariff, in
which wool and pig iron figured as the leading
elements. Neither the caucus nor the caucus
committee seems to have seen its way clear
to make the change desired by the senator
from Ohio, for the republican membership Of
the finance committee as it stands tonight is
the came as it was at the last session.

Vacancy Occurs.

NEw YORK. March II.
A Washington special TO the Herald says =
plan is under consideration to remove the
difficulty arising from the sentence of the
Swain court martial which prevents the 6il-
ing of the office held by Swain and so leaves
the army without judge advocate general
for twelve years. Ii is regarded rs import
ant TO the interests of the service that this
office should be filled il way can be fouad
to do it. The proposition Is to have the
President to remit so much of the sentence
as only suspends Gen. Swain from his duties
and puts him at once on the retired list where
he would be by operation of the law by the
time he has served out his sentence. II this
is done the position of judge advocate xen-
erai will then be filled. Near friends of the
President who seem to be acquainted with
what is going on in this matter are inclined
TO believe that Gen. Horstio King of Brook
