DAYS mail. to your islands, with a
view to Influencing your planters.
1t amounts TO nothing. as we know
positively that the Treasury experts
have pronounced the sugars OF
natural color, and the handing
in to the Senate of the pa
pers that have been proved in
correct cannot IN the least affect the
result, or our complete vindicatlOn
in the premises. The statements
contained in those papers are en-
tirely false.
The Custom House authorities
in this city have practically admit
ted their error. by passing identl-
cauy the same grade Of sugars, ez
Mamma and Dione, for rs as being OF
natural color and under No. IL
Dutch standard. 1 send you these

The secret rooms OF the " Electri
cal" refinery have been examined by
a reporter Of the New York World.
The factory has five engines, two
dvnamOs. two boilers, two pumps
and one injector, costing in all about
S125,O0O. The raw sugar had never
been used. but was washed through
sewer pipes into the river. The
secret rooms were lined with iron
plates and gnarled oak 50 that 1t was
impossible to break through them,
and an entrance was made from the
roof after three weeks work. One OF
the secret rooms contained quartz
crusher to break up the sugar which
was then sifted through so-called
granulators, these being enormous
sleeves Of fine steel, one above the
other. and lined with FURNISHED cop
per wire The sugar was then shot
through tubes into barrels before the
admiring stockholders.

and that of Mr. Cleveland on March
3, 1885 Every precaution was taken
by the latter TO keep from the public
knowledge Of his presence in the
city until he was safely housed IN his
hotel. For some unknown reason
Mr.. Cleveland was nervously afraid
that an attempt would be made upon
his life. The time of his departure
from New York was concealed from
the people. The train which brought
him came through in the night, and
none but the train men knew that
Cleveland, Rose Elizabeth~ Cleve-
land, Daniel Manning and Dan La
mont were occupants of the two
special cars attached to the regular
express that reached the city at I 30
o'clock IN the morning. There We're
six members of the Presidential
party whose identity was concealed
even from the train men. These
were Inspector Byrnes and i've
members of his detective staff. They
surrounded the President as he left
the cars and escorted him to a car
riage in waiting. a detective drove
the carriage to the Arlington Hotel
and a detective sat upon the box by
the driver A third officer drove in
buggy alongside the carriage, and
when the President had passed
through the side entrance into the
hotel and entered his apartments,
detectives guarded the doors.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

Recent advices from the Coast are
favorable to the establishment Of
inter-oceanic ship transit within the
reasonably near future. One Of the
last acts of the Fiftieth Congress /
was to grant charter to the Mica .
ragua Canal Company, which al ,
ready possessed one from the State /
of Vermont, but preferred to be in
corporated under the national auth
ority. 1t is understood that the
sale of bonds viii commence imme
diately, and the work Of construc-
ton be entered upon at once. The
route of the canal Is already thor
oughly surveyed, and estimates
made A strong probability may
now be assumed that the Nicaragua
Canal will soon become an existing
fact.
The prospect of success is much
improved by the disastrous collapse
of the Panama Canal Company. So
long as that enterprise was actually
going on, it could not fail to act as q
great obstacle to the promotion OF
anv rival scheme, however much
more promising. The patriotic sen
timent and characteristic herO-wor
ship Of a great people have been
actively enlisted in its behalf. The
reckless and unfounded statements
as to the progress made and the
time required for its completion
which have been kept persistently
before the world, have produced, tc
a considerable extent, their desired
effect. Notwithstanding all this, il
has now, to all appearance, gone
clean under.
The would-be knowing ones who
undertook to refute the statement;
we made on this subject a few weeks
ago, and to assure the public thai
the confidence of the French people
in De Lesseps was unimpaired, have
made a sorry exhibition Of them
selves. The Panama Canal Com
pany is now admitted TO be bank
rupt and hopeless concern. Iht
canal is less than half finished. L
has already cost twice what wa:
promised, and taken twice the tim,
originally proposed for the whole
The plan of an open cut had TO b,
abandoned for that of locks, thu.
largely increasing the expense anC
proving radical defects in the plau
of the engineers. The funds hav,
given out, and all efforts to rails
more have failed. Its great pro
moter, De Lesseps, has succumbe,
to modification and old age, aud i
probably dying.
1t would be too much to asser
that the Panama scheme will not b
revived again. 1t has made so muc
progress and is so colossal a worl
that some company may yet b
formed to so on with it. For on
own part, we hope it may never b
completed, and for reasons which "
gave not long since. 1t traverses
hotbed Of pestilence. 1t Is in
region Of Gains, and is therefore u
suited TO sailing vessels. 1t is tc
far TO the southwark. We of Hawa
are deeply interested in having ii
isthmus transit located rightly.

The result of a personal ObserVa-
ton of last Saturdays performance
IS a belief. or at any rate very
strong impression, that the balloon,
even if fully inflated, is incapable OF
rising with the man attached to 1t.
1t appeared to be at least three
quarters full, and yet, even after
Melville had let go his hold, 1t only
rose a few hundred feet, and slowly
at that. Did he ever go up with this
balloon? We understand not, but
are ready to be corrected.
The Bulletin of yesterday makes
a serious charge against the New
York Sugar Trust without fOunda-
ton. The quotations upon which
sugars shipped to the American
Sugar Refining Company are settled
for. are forwarded from New York
by an agent 10 the interest of Homo
lulu shippers. Sugars arriving in
San Francisco on a day between
February 2lst aud March 1st will be
paid for at the highest price prevail
ing on day Of arrival The fussi
ness with which the Bulletin cares
for the interest of shippers of suga
to the Trust Is almost pathetic.
