A Gain of Fifty Per Cent III, Sugar.

WASHINGTON, November l0th.-The
following telegram has been received at
the Department of Agriculture
Fort SCOTT, Ks, November 8th.
To the Commissioner Of Agriculture:
We finished boiling 50 tons of Louisiana
cane tonight. Made nearly 1900 pounds
OF strike. A weighted portion run into
centrifugal gave 81 per cent of dried sugar.
This will be more than 40 pounds first
sugar per ton. Cane juice had 10 per cent
of sucrose, ~ per cent of glucose, and14H
per cent of total solids 1t would have
made only 80 pounds by the old process.
We have increased the yield fally 10 pounds
per ton; sugar Of fine quality.
WILEY, Chemist.
The dispatch is regarded by the au-
thorities at the Agricultural Department
as the fulflment Of the promises Of inn
portant results given by the first incom-
petc experiments in the diffusion pro-
cess a. applied to sugar cane. The pro-
cess was developed in Europe for appli-
cation in the manufacture OF beet sugar,
and mas been several times tried in this
country upon the sugar cane, but with
out decided SUCCESS, owing TO imperfect
machinery and the necessity Of consider
able notifications to meet the difference
in the material to be worked
In 1888 experiments in the new pro-
cess were begun on small scale in
Washington, upon sorghum, and after Il
time. guch q measure Of gtlccrgg was at

shipping Casualty at HiIo.

The steamer kinau, which arrived at
this port from windward on Saturday,
brings news that the American barken-
tine Amelia narrowly escaped destruc-
ton on the reef i'm Hilo Bay last Tuesday
night. tits stated that the vessel entered
the port after dark without a pilot,
though according to the statement OF
persons on board the Lehua, which
sighted her in the afternoon, she was
then flying signal for pilot. Having
entered the bay, the anchor WIS dropped
between Wainaku and Hilo wharf. The
heavy swell which was running swung
the stern round and this stuck fast on
the reef. The cargo consisted OF 100000
feet of lumber, and some $1,000 feet OF
the deck load were thrown overheard.
This alone would have proved made
quate to save the vessel had not the
schooner Canute, which happened to be
lying at anchor, promptly rendered
assistance, and by attaching lines towed
the Amelia out of her perilous position.
The combined efforts of her own crew
ana tIlat Oh the Odlute were elietIudl III
floating her by daylight on Wednesday
morning, when it was found that the
damage sustained was but slight. Some
Of the copper had been ripped off, and it
is thought that the keel is somewhat in
jured, but no leakage was observable.
The Amelia is well known "a a regu-
lar trader between these Islands and the
Coast At the time OF the recent mis-
hap she had just arrived from Port
Townsend, under command Of Captain
Newhall. 1t is probable she will come
to Honolulu To load for San Francisco.

The Fancy Fair.

The fancy fair held at St. Andrews
Priory on Saturday was, as predicted,
brilliant success. The weather was all
that could be desired, and large num-
Der OF persons visited the place during
the day. The arrangements were as per
feet as could be, and everything passed
off pleasantly. The schoOlroOm where
the fair was held presented a very gay
appearance as the time approached for
opening. Shortly after noon the greater
part of the articles offered for sale was
disposed Of The children's and candy
tables were placed on the verauda in
front of the large dormitory, as there
was not room for them in the school
room. 4 large lanai and six tents had
been erected in the spacious field used
as playground by the PriOry children.
II. R. II. the Princess Likelike presided
at the Hawaiian food table in the lanai,
while the tents were used for selling
flowers and refreshments. The Reform
atory School Band was stationed in the
field, and during the afternoon discoursed
q number of musical selections. His
Majesty the King, IL. X. H. Princess
Lilioukalani, II. K. II. Princess Poo
maikelani H. r. II. Princess Kaiulani,
Their Highnesses Princes Kawananakoa,
Keliiahonui and KalanianaOle, were
among those who visited the fair during
the day. The Eldress- Phoebe and the
Sisters of st. Andrews Priory, who got
up the fair, are to be congratulated on the
success which attended then. efforts. In
their preparations they were assisted by
a large number OF willing workers, who
contributed some most beautiful articles.
The financial result, which is given be-
low, was beyond all expectation, and
the proceeds will be devoted to the new
Cathedral building fund. Mr.. Henry
Smith, one Of the Trustees Of the Cathe-
dral, acted as Treasurer during the day,

THE KICK OF A HORSE.

Mr.. JAS. Williams. photographer,
was kicked by horse Saturday
afternoon. Mr.. Williams was max
ing bounding visit to McCarthy's
billiard hall, across the street, aud
was leaping to the sidewalk, when a
horse, close by, gave him rap on
the left leg just below the hip. Mr..
Williams staggered on to the side

Mccarthy, who saw the accident,
rushed out and caught Mr.. Williams,
as he was about to fall. The pho
tographer, who thought his leg was
broken, was placed in a carriage
and taken to DR.. McGrew's, where
he gladly learned that no bones
were broken. Mr.. Williams is of
opinion, however, that that horse
had q mules liver.

WAIlUKU NOTES.

Wailuku has been very lively the
past few days, rs we have had the
genial faces of Majors Cornwell,
Parker and Lumaheihei with us, and
they look very well after their
arduous duties at the Jubilee Festi-
vities in Honolulu, where we hear
they covered themselves with glory
and praise for their kind attentive to
the guests, and they have made
quite a little stir in our quiet little
burg.
Monday evening, Rev. f. Bailey
and his wife celebrated their Golden
Wedding at their residence in Wal
luku, where their many friends con-
vened and congratulated them on
their success thus far, in life. The
Band was in attendance and dis
coursed fine music during the even
ing, and Il very enjoyable evening
was passed by every one present.
