FOREIGN SUGAR AND OTHER
MARKETS.

Messrs. Williams, Dimond & Co.'s
circular OF August 18th, which should
nave come by the Australia, was only
received here by the Mariposa. We
make the following extracts from it:
SUGAR-Our latest mail advices state
that the European markets have not vet
recovered from this feeling of depression
and sugars in all consuming markets are
awaiting developments, thus causing a.
general absence of demand.
Retiners in this country have been
obliged to reduce their MEETINGS and
consequently there is no disposition to
make fresh purchases of raws.
The last total stock of sugar in all the
principal countries July l, 1889, was
555,896 tons against 891 $3.50 tons July L,
1888, deficiency of 336,O84 tons. Lon
don August 9Th, stock for the week end
ing August Sd 1857 tons against $685.
40 tons last year.
Estimates of the Cuba crop 1883
gave the total at 544, 300 tons against
o4l $3.50 tons the previous year.
Our latest Geographic advices of to-day
are little more encouraging and as fol-
lows:

date consumption. Prices will not 90
much lower, crops promise fairly. Euro
pean and foreign markets steady and
prospects good for more settled feeling.
Consumption of the United States to
July same as last year, of which the
Trust supplied IS per cent.
RICE-Owlng to the long trips made
recently by island vessels, the market
has been practically bare of first quality,
Hawaiian rice in first hands until
week ago, when some 1000 bags
arrived. We quote price for best quality
at 4554c., sixty days or IL per cent. for
cash.

supply, we quote: Iron @ 38s. 3D., while
owners views are 40s. To arrive tonnage

January, cancelling 38s. Cd. q 4Os..
which we consider about ruling rate,
dependent upon size and position of
tonnage. We now have in port char
tered, $4,000 tons, disengaged 1900
tons; same time last year, chartered
10000 tons, disengaged $4,000, so unless
some unforeseen contingency arises, the
market should remain in good position
for tonnage now on the way.

Stanley Again.

Frederick Nicholas Smith, an
educated negro, son of the King of
the Bruro tribe, was landed at
Boston the other day from a New
Bedford schooner. He had been
taken off wrecked vessel from the
Congo for Sierra Leone. Smith
says that he saw Stanley about
November %, 1888, at Kinchassa.
Says he:
Stanley had with him 200 men in
excellent health, with their goods,
curiosities, etc. He pitched his tent
at that place, and there he remained
for several days, after which he en-
barked for the eastern part of Africa
At that time he looked very robust.
1 remember the effect his voice had
upon all the people around him. It
was like the voice of a lion. The
natives looked upon him as a great
and mighty man. They call him
"Bulu Matadi" which signifies
Break Stone" The reason why
this name was given him is, when he
first came among them he dug up
out of the earth great rocks and
stones and made fine wide road.

A Healthy Summer Drink.

A ginger beer costing about fif-
teen cents gallon is a good stand
by. There are many different re-
cipes for this, but the following is
the simplest: Pour four quarts of
boiling water over three-fourths of a
pound of white sugar; add the
minced yellow peel of one lemon,
and an ounce of ground ginger. Let
this stand covered until lukewarm,
then add the juice of the lemon and
gill of good yeast. Mix thor
oughly, cover, and stand in a warm
place over night Next day strain,
bottle and cork, tying down the cork
securely. Lay the bottles on their
sides in a cool place.

When the supposed Mrs. Bender and
her daughter Kate, who were recently
arrested in Michigan, were taken back
10 Labette county, Kansas, the scene
Of the famous Bender murders, out OF
the twelve persons who had known
the Bcndcrs and were called to linden
tify them, but four could see traces OF
resemblance between the prisoners
and the Blenders, while the Others
were positive they were not the per
sons wanted Meantime, to get all
the evidence available, the formal eX-
animation of the accused has been
put of to Nov. 18th.
There is IA strong belief, however, in
Kansas, that the Bendcrs were lynchcd
soon after their crimes were diScOv-
cred. II. A. Lewis, eX-assistant Adjt.
General of Kansas, was in command
OF the vigilance committee organized
at Parsons in 1873 to pursue the Ben
dcrS and bring them TO justice. He
followed them as far rs Cherry Vale,
but unable to trace them further, dis
banded the committee and returned
home. 1t is claimed, however that IA
new committee was then made up,
that followed the Benders into the In
dian Territory and caught and lynched
them. Some Of the members of the
latter committee, on their return, are
claimed to have admitted the lynch
ing, while others were reticent, neither
admitting or denying.

nNEGKO SUPREMACY. !"

"Thcre Is no more danger of negro
supremacy in Virginia than in His, y
says the Inter ocean. That, of course,
is onlya figure of speech" for while
33 per cent Of the vote of Virginia is
negro it is less than 5per cent in Hi
nois. Yet how far is Illinois from
"negro supremacy" The negro vote
Of this state is generally placed at 30,
0O0 1t is not less than that. Yet the
Republicans, with every negro vote to
help them, carried this state last year
by but 1880 majority. But for the
negro vote, the democrats would have
beaten them 10000 and had a majority
in both branches of the legislature.
The "balance Of power" is thus In
the hands Of the negroes. What that
means is easily illustrated. A few
years ago the Democrats had 10 and
the Republicans Is members of the
Illinois legislature, and +. M. Haines
held the balance of power between
them. For six months the Legislature
was blocked in its efforts to elect u.
S. Senator, and the deadlock was only
broken by the death OF Democrat and
the election of Republican in his
place.
The Republican party governs Hi
nois to-day 10y virtue of the negro vote.
Whatever the negroes as a body de-
mand of that party, IL must concede
or 90 under. The negroes are masters
of the party and the party is master of
the state. Negro supremacy, there
fore, AS "A voting power, obtains in
| Illinois. And if Illinois, with her 5
per cent colored vote, is under negro
denomination, how much more decis.
i've will the negro denomination be in
| Virginia if Malone succeeds in giving
the state to the Republican vote
of 33 per cent? Should the Republic
can party, thus placed in power in Nir.
ginia, deal honestly with the negro
voters. that state would be as thor.
oughly under negro domination as
IIayti is, or Timbuctoo.

payment by the railroad company, A
railroad attorney who spoke Of the
matter said that on principle railroads
never settled such cases, though they
might do so some times for even less
cost than fighting them. But the
number of them is almost intcrminablc
now, and if the impression became
current that they could be settled
by money payment by the railroad,
the end of them would never come.
When man has clear case he can
sometimes settle, no doubt; but the
chances seem to be that when a man
