WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 2G.-The chief OF
the bureau of statistics says that OF the
2,54S, 000,0U pounds OF sugar imported into
the United States during the last fiscal year,
"A per cent. came from Cuba, Porto Rico,
Brazil, and the British West Indies. These
countries, according to latest advices, impose
an export duty on sugar. If such is the fact,
it is probable that 50 per cent of the sugar
imported for the last year came from coun-
tries imposing an export duty thereon
This would change the figures in reduction
on sugar from $40, e00,O 900 to s2,000, 00), and
the aggregate reduction of duty from $50

A RUSSIAN ROMANCE.
on Hydrophobia.

The Beautiful American Girl Who Fought
or Hydrophobia.
T. c. Crawford in the New York World.
General Beale's daughter Mary mar
ried distinguished Russian, a men,
Der of the diplomatic service of his ma
tive country. Several years ago they
were living in Paris. The husband was
connected with the Russian Legation.
General Beale's daughter had at that
time a stag hound of unusual size and
purity of breed. 1t was very docile
and her favorte companion. He
nearly always went out with her. One
day the dog disappeared. As he was
great pet and dog of unusual value
they advertised for him, and sought
through the police to recover him.
One night when the Russian diplomat
and his wife were seated about an open
fire in their salon after returning from
the opera there was a knock at the
door, This was so unusual at this late
hour of the night that the Russian
mt himself to answer the knock. As
the door opened two men entered,
having the lost dog attached to a stout
stick, which held him between them
but yet kept them at safe distance.
General Beale's son-in-law was de-
lighted to see the dog again. The
dogs mistress was specially pleased,
The dog, however, showed no sign OF
pleasure or recognition. He went
over into an opposite corner and would
not pay any attention to their calls.
They thought that he might feel strange
and SO paid no further attention to him.
Suddenly, without even bark OF warn
ing this great dog sprang and bit his
mistress right through the upper lip
and then on her cheek before her hus-
band could reach the stout collar which
still encirCled the dogs neck. The
Russian succeeded in half moment in
dragging the dog off from his mistress,
and then he had terrific fight with
the infuriated animal. If he had not
been very muscular he would not have
succeeded in subduing him. He sue
ceeded finally in dragging him into
BATH room and locking him up, but not
until his right arm was bitten and torn
from shoulder to wrist.
The scene that followed is dramatic
enough for the most sensational of plays.
The moment the door was unlocked
the Russian returned. He glanced
quickly at the fire place, where he saw
the poker was imbedded in the Goals

and was fortunately nearly at a white
heat. lie drew it at once from its bed
and said to his wife ; "The dog is mad.
This IS our only chance to escape a
horrible death. These wounds must be
cautcrizcd at once" The brave Ameri-
can wife never ninchcd. With the cour-
age Of her soldier father she submitted
to have the flaming iron burn most
cruelty the flesh of her fair face. A mo-
mcnt's delay upon her part or cow
ardice would have made the operation
upon her husbands arm useless. The
moment after cauterizing her wounds
the Russian turned to his own arm and
thoroughly burned every break made
in his flesh by the dog. After this had
been dore as completely as it was pos
they sent for the surgeon of the Russian
Legation. He was one of the finest
surgeons in Europe. He came and
examined them. He brought his irons
to perform the operation of cauterizing,
bat he said after he came that he had
nothing to do. The young Russian
diplomat had performed the work as
well as if he had been a skillful sur
geon. The surgeon also added that
there was no danger.
The dog was undoubtedly mad. 1t
tore everything to pieces in the room
where it was confined, and died in hor-
rible agony. General Beale says that
neither his daughter nor her husbard
have ever felt the slightest symptoms
of trouble resulting from this accident.
He says that his daughter determined
from the first that she would not allow
her mind to dwell upon it. She re-
membered how her father had courage
ously fought off hydroDhobia, and she
was fully resolved that no metal dis
turbance or worry upon her part should
throw open the gate to the approach Of
this terrible disease. General Beale
did not mean to say that there was no
such thing as real hydrophobia upon
the part of human beings, but he sin
cerely believes that in the majority of
cases it results largely from fright and
mental depression.

SHERIFF OF HIS COUNTY.
How an EX-Union Soldier Does HIS Duty
in West Virginia.

in West Virginia.
Edmund Knk sends the Philadelphia
Press a long account of the lynching
OF a negro in West Virginia, and in the
course of it gives a picture Of brave
Sheriff, in the discharge of his duty.
His name was Rossler. He had served
in the Upion army throughout the war,
and, entering it as private, had risen to
the rank of Major. Soon after the war
closed, though Republican, he was
elected Sheriff in i district strongly
Democratic, and his office he had now
held for many years, to the great terror
Of evil-loers. The negro was not in
his charge, but he happened to be on
the train with the lynching party. At
a point midway between stations the
leader Of the ly1chcrs rose and pulled
the bell rope. Instantly the train
slackened its pace ana soon it came to
a dead stand in the midst of forest.
With the first movement of the leader
OF the mob Rossler had risen to his
feet, and now he stepped into the aisle
and stood directly in front of the negro,
his hands in the pocket OF his sack
coat, but saying nothing.
Soon the leader came towards us and
said to Rossler: "Please stand aside,
Major. We want this man."
"What do you mean to do with
him ?" asked Rossler.
"Hang him to the first tree"
''You can't do it here. l am Sheriff
of this county, and it is my business to
see the law respected in it."
Come Major" said the blacksmith
impatient}y; "no nonsense Stand
aside, or we shall have to force you.
We are five hundred to one, so stand
aside .'
"Not if you were five thousand to
onc," answered Rossler. 81 know my
duty. You can't hang this man in this
county. If you attempt it you will take
the consequences" His voice was clear
and his manner collected as he said
this, but in his great dark eyes was
look which plainly said he would be as
good as his word.
The blacE smith regarded Rossler
steadily with sort OF grim smile, but
he answered with almost equal cool
ness: 'We all respect you, Major !;
we wouldn't do you harm, but we've
promised to hang the negro to the first
woods outside of Charlestown. To
keep our word we must do It,"
"Then you will do it over my dead
body said Rossler, cody taking his
hand, in which was a revolver, from his
coat pocket: "and | shall sell my life
as dearly as can. The price will be
yours, and perhaps half dozen others.
SO think OF it before you attempt to
touch the negro. Once over the creek
into Fayette | shall not interfere here
] shall as sure as you and | live"
While this was going on at least a
score Of the rioters had gathered around
their leader, who now, stepping back,
held a hurried consultation with half
dozen of them. Then he turned again
to Rossler, who still stood in front of
the negro, the revolver in his hand, and
said: "Major Rossler, you're brave
man, and we respect you too much to
do you an injury. But there is not an
other man in Kanawha county who
could make us break our word"
"Then you will not murder the man
in this county?"
"We will not hang him till we get to
Cannelton."
Very well, !" answered Rossler, 81
will take your word for it. l only came
along to see you didn't do it here"
