The roprehensible practice so often indulged in
especially by native drivers of drays and expresses,
ofleaving horses unfastened or improperly secured,
resulted on the 10th inst, in making things quite
lively along Hotel, Fort and Queen streets. The
story goes that, driver of one of the drays which
brings an income to the Palacs fund.- while water
ing his horse, took off the bride. The horse be
came nervous from noise made by some children
playing the dray and started off in quick walk,
III so doing throwing one OF the children to the
ground, little native girl, breaking her leg.
The driver now started after the horse, which had
quickened his speed and so along Hotel TO Fort
street. The opportunity to make record was pro.
badly noticed by the equine escapee and he turned
down Fort street, the dry smashing into carriages
right and left carrying terror aud dismay into the
hearts of the fair ladies front in and either
side, who were occupants Of the numerous vehicles
Mrs. Patty and her carriage were first encountered
by the heavy dray and she was soon eutangled in
the reins of wrecked buggy, happily unhurt. An
express driven by Chinese driver was bOwled out
completely, the driver being sent headlong to
Mother Earth the light express of DIR. Lowell
Smith WAS next colided with and though no great
damage was done, it became necessary for Mr..
Abels who was near at hand TO throw the horse of
the reverend gentleman, to keep him from joining
in the lively procession that had gone before. On
went the dray swinging the attached "engine of
destruction INTO express l72, whose scared driver
was engaged in mumbling prayer for help the
reins being dropped from his. .nerveless hands,
smashing the port wheels and canting the wagon
to starbOard. Crossing Merchant street the
only wagon encountered by. the dray, was that
occupied by Mr.. Dmond and wheel was taken.
The horse then turned into Queen street. and, ar
irving at the Government House, waited patiently
for the appearance of some of the Ministers who

equine-ship in obtaining record as untrust-

The Nicnraruan Trnntr.

Of the batch of treaties recently negotiated
through the efforts of tire State Department
without doubt the most important is that con-
clnded with Nicaragua relative to the cOnstru-
ctlOn Of a slip canal across the isthmus. This
treaty provides that the canal shall be built by the
United States and owned by them and the Repub-
lie of Nicaragua, the former agreeing to protect
the integrity of the territory Of the latter. Nicar-
aqua agrees TO appropriate all needed land belong
ing 10 individuals along the line of the canal the
United States agreeing to pay for the same. A
strip OF territory two and Il half miles in width,
the middle of the strip to coincide with the centre
line OF the canal, Is to be set aside for the work
and owned by the two contracting parties and
over this strip in time of peace Nicaragua is to
ercse civil jurisdiction. The dues and charges
upon vessels passing through the canal are to be
for the benefit of the two governments in their
capacity as joint owners. OF the net revenues to
be derived from the canal one third are to 60 to
Nicaragua and two-thirds to the United States.
The United States agrees to begin work on the
canal within two years and to complete the same
within ten years after beginning work upon it
(unless lnsupcrable obstacles intervene) when the
time may be prolonged. In the meantime it
agrees tO loan Nlclragua the sum of Si,O00,000 to
be applied TO the prosecution of certain enter
prise5 regarded helpful to the speedy construc-
tion and successful operation of the canal and it
is agreed that the share of Nicaragua in the net
revenues Of the canal may be applied to the pay
ment of tue loan until it shall have been entirely
extinguished. 1t is flrher provided that the tolls
tracing parties and of all nations, except that
vessels entirely owned and commanded by citizens
of either one of the parties to the convention and
engaged in its coasting trade may be favored The
United States Is to have exclusive control of the
construction of the canal.-BTudsfresfS.

UNDER the title of 1.-The Sugar Problem
Professor H. NJ Wiley recently gave an
address before the Louisiana Planters
Association, which treats of the subject
very exhaustively, and from which a vast
amount of information relative to our sta
pie may be gathered. The Professor has
not confined himself to the study of cane
sugar alone, but reviews the prospects of
beet and sorghum, His remarks upon
sorghum will be found in erteHso. in another
column: here we will endeavor TO give a
brief sketch of the main points of his ad-
dress.
Professor Wiley considers that among
the many questions of economic impor-
tance" to the United States. that which
relates to the sugar supply is among the
most weighty and important" During
the year 1883 the consumption of sugar in
the United States was forty-fv pounds
per head, which runs up to total of two
billion four hundred and seventy-fve mil
lion pounds. But besides sugar an i'm.
mense quantity of syrup is used and a
large quantity Of this does not come from
cane, but from corn and sorghum. As
estimated, the syrup consumed in 1888
could be classed as follows:

At present, therefore, the production of sugar
from sorghum Is not an encouraging one and the
sorghum no less anxious than you are
for the future. But sorghum Is also valuable as a
cereal. Its seed may be said to average twenty
bushels per and its nutrtive value is as great
as corn. 1t is excellent for poultry. and when
boiled, for hogs and cattle. In New Jersey NAV
be found large number, of swine whose only
food has been boiled sorghum seed. These
animals are remarkably healthy aud sleek and in
nearly five years not one of them has died of any
of the epidemic diseases which are 30 fatal. While
therefore, at the present time the amount of sorr-
hum sugar made, not more than a million pounds
per annum, is insignificant as economic factor.
yet II must not be forgotten that as "A sirup pro-
ducer and as forage plant, it has claims upon
our attention which 1t would be very unwise 10
neglect.
Sorghum sugar has also, believe, Il future, uu-

clans are resolved on economic suicide by Sc
curing the destruction OF every sugar industry in

be soil aud climate peculiarly suited to sugar
production. Years of trial and intelligent study
will finally work out the boundaries OF the sugar

Because few thousands of dollars arc lost in
attempts at developing an industry is no reason
why final success may not be secured Such Is

enterprising men who have put their money in

Sorghum Sugar.

The following account of the Sorsham Sugar in
dustry in the United States is taken from Profess
sor Wileys address. 1t disposes eIectually of the
statement that sugar caunot be made from the
plant it also shows that it cannot at present be
made extensively:
Ever since the introduction of sorghum thirty
years ago, crystalized sugar has been made from
its juices. But these generally contain large uuan-
titles of inyert or reducing sugars and these. as is
we'll known greatly hinder the process of crystal
ization. Until within few years little but EN-
piricism was found in the production of sorghum
sugar Then came the researches of Collier, We
Der, Scoville, Henry Swanson, Hughes, and others,
which began to throw some true scientific light on
the dark problem. With this came the establish
ment of the large sorghum sugar doctory at Rio
Grande, n. J., which has made large quantities of
sugar for four years in succession. Then came
the factory at Champaign, ILL.,, ". :Cl has made
three campaigns. Later two factories in Kansas
which have made two campaigns, and two or three
Others which have made one only.
Five years of this practical experience has shown
that the problem of sugar making is far more diff
cult in practical way than it was as an expert
mental attempt. Unfortunately this is often
the case, and for this reason science has in some
quarters the reputation of being impractical. 1t
should never be forgotten that often what succeeds
as an experiment may utterly fail in practice. The
small patches of sorghum carefully cultivated and
literally fertiliZed have proved to be richer in
sugar than the same crop grown in large fields,
and with such attention as crops IN Massachusetts
usually receive. During the past season the Bu-
reau OF Chemistry grew Northern sugar cane
whose Juice contained Is per cent. of sucrOse but
from the large fields it has not proved to be so
rich and the disappointed manufacturer has had
to be cOntented for the past five years with juices
which probably have not had an average content
OF ~ per cent, OF crystalllZable sugar When in
addition this it is remembered that the same Jul
ces have contained nearly three per cent of nvert
and reducing sugars and nearly two per cent of
solids not sugar, it is not surprising that the yield
of sugar has been uniformly light. The quality
of sugar per ton has not averaged above sixty
pounds, and i'll many cases has fallen far below
this

HERE IS suggestion rs TO 4 means Of getting
over the silver difficulty in the United States, which
may be worth looking at, but which would hardly
assiscus here. Mr.. Giddings of Springfield, Mass.
says why not issue silver certificates of deuomi-
nations III dollars, but payable in bullion. for
20 per cent of the silver deposited and for the re-
naming 10 per cent. different set of certificates
of value to be determined by market fluctuations?
To illustrate, B deposits silver bullion worth 800
in gold and receives nine ten.doliar certificates
each payable in silver of the value of $40 in gold
on the date of presentation. For the remaining
10 per cent he receives certificate specifying the
total weight and the ineness of the silver depos-
tied, and promising to pay in silver bullion its
market value date of presentation, less S90 gold
standard. By this simple device 30 per cent of all
available silver bullion could become practically n
part of the circulation, at exact equality with
gold and gold would be the sole standard. Neither
the Treasury nor holders of the denomination Ger
tihcates could lose dollar, and depostors of bull
lion would make or lose by market fluctuations
precisely as if no certificates had been issued.
There may be difficulties in this scheme that have
not occurred TO me- and offer II merely as a sug-
gestion for consideration and criticism
