STEAMSHIP REGnRDS.

The record of the transatlantic
steamship lines for the fiscal year
ending June 30th is Of great lnte-
rest. BY this it is shown that the
average trip of the steamer Umbria
in 1887 was 1879 hours. In 1888
it was 1862 hours. The Etruria
in 1887 made an average trip of 1873
hours, which was reduced to 1867
hours in 1888. In 1887 the Aller
made an average trip of 205.7
hours; in 1888, 1899 hours. The
average trip of the La Champagne
in 1887 was 202.2 hours. In 1883 it
was 2UO.9 hours. The Britannia
reduced her average trip from 210.9 8
to2l0in 1888. The Germania reduced
her time from 22S hours to 221.9
hours, and the Hammonia from
240.7 hours to 235.l hours. The
quickest trip of the mail from New
York to London was by the Etruria,
in 1913 hours, but the Umbra took
the mail on one trip in 1877. This
is q difference of twelve minutes in
a passage of 2S00 nautical miles.
1t is curious thing that there
should be so small a difference in q
passage of 2,6000 knots.

ENGLAND.

The vivid picture of English life
as it comes by cable from our Lon
don correspondents, says the New
York Herald, is n brilliant epltome
of the great world in England.
Somehow, England seems so settled
and sure, so buttressed by her
fleets and protected by the environ
ing seas, that when we read of her
troubles, we fancy they are like the
trouble of the rich and venerable; !;
like the goGt, spend-thrift nephews,
or giddy wiyes-something quite
inseparable from unusual prosperi-
ty. Old England has her Irish
question, ever becoming acute, and
about which enough temper is lost
to make a new force in nature like
the natural gas or Dakota billiards..
Troubles likewise with her jockeys,
about which there is continual eX-
citement among the nobility. There
is also a Parliament sitting in fear
of the unexpected from Pacnell and
Lord Randolph Churchil. She has
a Royal Family which Is always
asking for money, an Indian ques-
ton, which is another name for
jobbery, and every few days there
is panic, Sometimes the panic is
about Canada and Fenian invasions.
Sometimes it is dread of 100, 900
Frenchmen crossing over some night
from Cherbourg to Brighton. Some
times it is dynamite, and sometimes
it takes the dreaded form of the
abolition of the Lord Mayor, II

THE SUGAR TRUST.

Some queer stories are current in
the San Francisco papers regarding
the action of the Sugar Trust in
suppressing the New York prices
for raw sugars, and thereby giving
for cargoes of Island sugars, a less
figure than what actual sales had
been effected at
The Trust is by far the largest
purchaser of raw sugar coming into
New York to-day, and their trans
actions in that article must to a
great extent control prices, but if
they have sufficient influence to pre-
vent such sales being made public
it can be easily seen that our plan
ters will become sufferers thereby,
as they will be forced to accept only
such prices as the Trust may allow
to become public.
When press quotations in San
Francisco were 69 cents it was
known that the Trust had bought
$500 hogsheads and $4,000 mats of
raw sugar at G4. The Planter arrived
in San Francisco after this transac-
tion and it is to be hoped that the
sugar by her got the benefit of the
rise. The following is a clip
ping from the San Francisco Alta
on the matter:-
New York, Sept. 22d.-For sew
eral weeks past there has been {
degree of unreliability as to the ac
tual quotations in the sugar market

another. But considerable excite
ment occurred this week through
sales of raw sugar being reported a

actually paid for some $500 hogs
heads, the trust desired to suppress
the fact, fearing that the importer;

MARSHAL BRZAi@E,
sKETCu OF THE CAREER OF THE GREAT
FRENCH COMMANDER.

Francoise Achille Bazaine was
born in Versailles February IL, 1911,
and was therefore in his seventy
eight year at the time OF his death.
He received fair education in his
youth, and when twenty years of
age enlisted as a private in the
French army. He became lieuten-
ant in 1885, while in Algeria,
and was promoted to & cap
taincy after two years service with
the Foreign Legion against the
Carlists in Spain. He was again
promoted Lieutenant-Coloncl in
1S4S, after nine years active SER
vice in Algeria and Morocco. In
1850 he was appointed Colonel of
the First Legion and General Of
Brigade in the Crimean war, acting
as Commander of Sebastopol after
its capture. Five years later he ac-
quired the rank of General Of Divi-
sion, and participated in the capture
Of Kinburn. He subsequently held
the position Of Military Inspector OF
France. In the Italian campaign
in June, 1859, he was badly wound
ed while commanding his division in
the attack upon Melegnano, and he
took conspicuous part in the ia
nous battle of Solferino. In 1862
he commanded the first division Of
the French army in Mexico, and
compelled the surrender Of Pueblo
in May, 1868, after which the
French entered the Mexican capital.
The rank of Marshal was conferred
upon him in 1864. In February,
1863, he captured the Mexican
army of 1000 men under Diaz.
Though Bazane persuaded Maxi
milan to issue the most rigorous
DEGREES and he himself relentlessly
executed them, be Was suspected Of
secretly plotting against that EN-
peror in pursuance Of personally
ambitious schemes. Willie in Mex
ico he married wealthy Mexican
ady,whose family sided with Juarez.
In 1867 he withdrew the French
forces from Mexico. Returning TO
Franc e he took a seat in the Senate
and shortly afterward was commits
stoned commander of the Third
Army Corps. On the outbreak of
the Franco Prussian war in 1870 he
took the field with his corps. and i'll
August of that y ear assumed COM
mand of the armies OF France in
place Of the Emperor Napoleon. In
the same month he began his retire at
from Metz, hoping to join his forces
to those of McAlahon ut Chalons,
but when still in front of the fortress
he was attacked by the German
forces under Prince Frederick
Charles. Bazaine had to retire his
force within the fortress, and was
kept there by the Germans until
October 27th, when lie was compell-
ed to surrender his army of 49,
600 men. Bazaine was permitted
to join the ex-Emperor at Cassel.
After the treaty Of peace he re-
moved to Geneva, where he lived
quietly for some time.
In 1873 he was arrested on {
charge of treason, preferred by
Gambetta. lie was tried by court
martial and sentenced TO death
This sentenced was comrlted by
President McMahob to twen.y years
imprisonment at the island Of Sainte
Maguerite, near Cannes. In 1877
he escaped from the island TO Spain
since which time he has lived in re
tirement.

Governor Guy Determined to Hold the
Fort-History OF the Trouble.
DoUGHERTY, l. T., Nov. 15-When the
recent election in the Chickasaw Nation
was held, Governor. Guy was reelected
but William Byrd contested the election
and cast out enough votes to put him in
the majority by a few votes and called on
the Speaker of the House, who was a
Byrd man, to state who was Governor, and
he swore in Byrd, who then called on Guys
Cabinet for the Nations books and money.
The Guy party would not give them up
and Byrd issued warrants for the Treas
urer and Auditor, but did not serve them.
Then he called the Legislature together
and kept the capitol building guarded.
Guy got together about fifty of his men,
marched into Tishomingo. took possession
Of the capitol and called his Legislature
together and was sworn in as Governor.
Then he went to Washington and stated
the case before the Interior Department
and was recognized as Governor of the
Chickasaw Nation and told that if any
disturbance occurred to interfere with his
administration he should call on the
United States troops.
Guy on his return proposed to the Byrd
party to submit their differences TO the
voters at a new election, but the Byrd
party replied that they would not agree to
a new election as they had possession of
the capitol and intended to run the Chick
asaw Government under the Byrd admin
istration.
Guy then notified Byrd's faction that be
would give them until Saturday, Noven,-
Der IL, to decide whether they would ac-
cept his proposition or not, stating that if
they did not he would take the capitol by
force and put the officers Of the Byrd party
under arrest.
Guy is determined to be Governor or
fight and the Byrd men are also deter
mined to stand by their leader and it is
predicted by a good many who are well
acquainted with the men in both parties
that il it is necessary to fight there will be
a great deal Of blood shed when both
parties come together. Each side can raise
about 80 good fighting men. All of the
non-citizens are in favor of Governor
Guy.
Several attempts have been made to as
sassinate Guy, but he still travels alone.

him whenever he travels, but he saws he

The Byrd party is composed principally
Of full blood Indians known as the non-
progressive party, and they are hostile to
the settlement of the territory by whites,
while Guy represents the progressive
party, which favors white immigration
and the cultivating of the lands.

The Husband Has to Do His Share as Well
as the Wife.
Men are what their homes make
them-of what their homes made of
them in infancy and youth. That
women make homes has been sung and
preached until one reads with hearty
satisfaction Colonel Higginson's intro
duction of an address delivered last
summer at the commencement of a
girls college. He had been adjured,
said the speaker, not to talk to stu
dents and alumn8 as women, but as
human beings; to leave the matter of
sex in education out of sight for one
hour. The masculine element is as
essential to the right composition of
the home as lemon-juice to the sugar
and water of sherbet. The household
where there is not mans hat on the
hall-rack is a craft minus one side
wheel. The music of daily life with
out the heavier, up-bearing timbre of
bass voice, is like the singing of
canaries, very tuneful and very thin.

BILE of metaphors, done into straight

woman can not, single-handed, make
a perfect home. 1t is a joint-stock
concern, in which each individual of
the household has a share, the parents
being the heaviest owners and the
board of directors. Any thing else is

Verdict of the Jury Censuring the Coal
Company.
PITTSBURGH, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE follow
ing is the report of the coroner's jury
which has been investigating the terrible
disaster at Frontenac which caused the loss
of forty-two lives:
We, the jury, do find that the dead men came
to their deaths by an explosion, powder and
gas being the main factors. We also believe
that the extreme and dusty condition OF the
mine contributed to the violence OF the ex-
plosion. 1t is the belief OF the jury the said
plosion originated in the fourth north entry OF
the east side Of shaft No. ? of the Cherokee
and Pittsburgh Coal and Mining Company at
Frontenac, Kan, by the igniting Of powder
the same coming in contact with other explosive
properties. 1t is still further the belief of the
jury that IL the company had kept the entries
well sprinkled and paid more attention to the gas
the said explosion would not have been so great.
Therefore, we, the jury consider the company
censurable in the testimony whereof the said
Jurors have hereunto set their hands the day
and year aforesaid.
