man measures in the Baltic provinces.

have been deprived of their beneticaries
without any notice because they use
solely the German language The czar
revives the post OF governor of the prov
inces, and that official will be specially
responsible for Russianizing measures.
The Polish circle has received an acces-
sion of strength in the persons Of exiled
mobiles hitherto residing in France and
Italy. They have learned from Warsaw
that secretly printed proclamations, un-
authorized by the Polish nationalists,
bearing the arms of Poland and Austria,
are being circulated in Warsaw. These
proclamat ons call upon the people to

directors of the Polish journals in Gale

cess protected by patent by which sugar
can be refined in two hours instead of the
old time of thirty hours and the cost of
refining will be reduced from $40 to so
cents per ton. No soft sugar will be
made and the waste Of saccharine matter
will be only onn-ha!f Of one per cent. The
company is capitalized largely by British
money. 1t is said that the sugar will be
placed on the mark ct in about two months.
The promoters of the enterprise predict
a revolution Of the sugar trade. The new
refining process to be introduced by this
company is the invention of Friend, a
German Electrician, who perfected its op-
Grafton over two years ago. Since that
time preparations for the approaching in
auguration of the plan have been pro
crossing steadily, although slowly, as great
precauton has been taken in the con
struction of the machinery to guard
against the possibility Of imitation, all the
component sections Of the plant being
manufactured at different places widely
separated in point of location and now
being put together at the new refinery,
where business will be formally com
menced on or about the 1st of March.
