MAIL SUBSIDY.

Washington, August 20. - The
Postmaster-General notified FELTON,
to-day that he would inform the
New Zealand Government by tele-
graph at once that the United States
would pay the American steamship
line between San Francisco and that
country $50, 900 year for carrying
the mail. The amount paid to the
steamship company by the Govern
ment of New South Wales was S10,-
600 a year. That Government re-
fuses to continue the payment of
this sum. The amount the United
States has paid the line annually
has been about 100000. The full
amount of sea and inland postage
which the Postmaster-General has
discretion to pay to the line last
year amounted to about S47, 600.
He estimates the increase of mail
matter will increase the amount this
year to $4,000. He offers the full
amount of the sea and inland post
age to the steamship line in order to
maintain it. The Parliament of New
Zealand is now in session, and it is
expected that within the next three
days it will determine whether it
will continue the subsidy which it
paid to this steamship line for carry

other devices they succeeded in
putting the price of sugar in Paris
up to more than 3 francs per pound.
Though sugar was n,ces .' to
France she could not purchase IL at
that price. Bonaparte was q dis
ciple of Colbert, the founder OF the
textile and ceramic industries of
modern France, and he met the
allies, os the great economist would
have done, by proclaiming his de-
termination TO establish the inde-
pendence of France in the matter of
sugar and molasses by applying the
resources of the empire to their pro-
duction from other sources than
cane.
Bringing to his counsels the most
eminent chemists and mechanicians
of France, he evolved two systems
of bounties by which he hoped to es-
tablish new and profitable industries
throughout France and secure a
cheap supply of homegrown sugar
for her people. He offered bounties,
beginning with 100000 francs, to
him who should produce the great
est weight of sugar beets from
given number of acres, and descend
ing by gradual scales to small sums
to the farmer who should raise the
most from a single acre, and 100, 900
francs to the chemist who should ex-
tract the greatest amount of sugar
yielding JUICE from a given weight
of beets. These stimulants with the

CURED to add it to the commercial
commodities of France. Napoleon's
genius guided the organization OF
the industry and gave it instant
popularity among the French people
by rejecting the system which pre-
vailed in the slave regions from
which cane sugar had been pro-
cured. In place of immense planta-
tions and costly factories in which
cane sugar was produced, he pro-
posed small central factories in
agricultural districts in which every
farmer, by devoting a portion of his
land to beets, might share the boun-
ties the government was bestowing,
and hasten the production of such
supplies of sugar as would meet the
demands of France and her people.
