Commercial R.lssio.ts Of /. colombia.

A long paper on the commercial rela-
tions of Colombia has been received at the
State Department from John T. Abbott,
United States minister at Bogota. In the
course of it he SAYS:
"The Colombian may admire the insti-
tutions of the great republic, as he calls
it, but he is not for that reason willing to
pay friend, however dear to him, four
cents for q yard of cotton cloth which he
can buy of some one else for two and one
half cents. 1t will require something
more than sentiment to change the volume
of trade. These European connections are
formidable and intricate are hard to
change and can >'nly be broken by rtf% ring
superior advantages.

have never studied this market Their

a limited extent IA lew papers of the

American consuls and ministers catalogues.
price lists and letters of inquiry, while the
English, the French and the Germans, in
stead of sending price lists in an unknown
tongue to consuls and ministers, send live
men and maintain them here at great ex.
pense. These agents live hear, learn the
language, study the habits and needs of
the people, open stores, display large lines
of samples, and endeavor in every way to

of the Mnited States does not adapt his
goods&pr his methods to the peculiarities
of th8|eeope Hence European dealers

What strange things and opinions have
been. What curious history science pre-
SCENTS. Sixty years ago great mathema-
tician demonstrated that steam vessel
could 10: cross the ocean because she could
not possibly carry coal enough to make the
steam necessary. Just as he finished his
demonstration, steamship steamed into
the harbor from the other side of thu oc 9an!
Tie Scientific american publishes the
foil owing, which was issued by the ROYAL
College Of Bavarian Doctors in a protest
against railways, pointing out the danger
OF that sort of travel: "Travel in carriages
drawn BY locomotive ought 10 be forbid
den in tie interest Of public health. The
rapid movement can 10. fail to produce
among The passengers the mental affection
known as deiir5um f1l7 i0Sum. Even if trav-
elers are willing to incur this risk the
government should, at Last, protect the
public. A single glance at a locomotive
passing rapidly is sufficient to cause the
same cerebral, arrangement; consequently
it is absolutely nec- s5ary to build fence
ten feet high on each side of the rail way"

Report of the Commiss oner of Customs

Mr.. Samuel V. Holiday, COMMISSIONS
of Customs. has made report to the Sec
rotary of the Treasury of the business of
that office during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1885, showing the settlement of
accounts amounting to 1925 2O2 412. The
above amount was paid into the treasury
as recei pts from various sources, and dur
ing the same time the amount paid out Of
the treasury on various accounts was So :
1873, 992. The commissioner calls attention
to the necessity for snecino legislation to
fix beyond doubt the status of per diem
employees of customs in regard to leaves Of
absence He says it is also important that
collectors of customs should BE- authorized
to appoint, with the appreciation of the
Secretary of the Treasury, such deputies
aud clerks as may be authorized at each
port. In concluding bis report he says
THE appropriation for expenses OF col
Letting the revenue from customs shou
be permanent increased to a sum ade-
quate to the prompt payment Of all nece s.
sary expenses under this head without
having recourse to the income from the
collections incidental to the service, now
allowed by law to be used for that pur-
pose. This source of income is, from the
effect of legislation, continually diminish
ing, aud no permanent provision having
been made to counteract this diminution,
the appropriation is, with the strictest
economy, liable each year to be insufficient
to provide for the proper collection of the
customs revenue An increase of the per
manent appropriation of $500 annually
with fixed salaries to customs officers and
the payment into the general fund of those
items of collection which are applied to the
expenses of this service would tend greatly
to simplify accounts, establish certainty as
to the sums that could be extended, and in
every way be an improvement on the pres
ant system

The sugar growers of Louisiana will

made at Des L'enes, La, last year.
The report has just been published in
pamphlet form and shows the result of the
observations of the experiments made by
the government at the sugar works of
Messrs. Shattuck & Hoffman at Des Lignes.
The process used at this point was the old
milling method. by VIII CHI the juice was
squeezed out of the cans by roller mills.
The report shows that there were immense
losses in sucrose, showing loss during
four weeks run of over 73 900 pounds of
sugar or 14-7S-100 pound for each ton
of cane. The results, as compared with
those Of he plan atoms of Governor War

diffusion" process is used, were as strongly
favorable TO the diffusion process as
against the Old milling method, that it is
announced that Shattuck u Hoffman have

THE UTAH CENTRAL.
The First Step Toward Los An.
geles Taken Yesterday.
THE STOCKHOLDERS STAND PAT.
The Branch to the Castle Valley Coal Fields
Future Plans of the Road-Their I'm
portance to Salt Lake.

The Utah Central stockholders meeting
was held yesterday morning to consider
the matters of amending the articles Of in
corporation of the road so as to permit of
the extension of the main line from the
present terminus at Milford to a point
known as Summit, near where the old
overland wagon road CT losses the Nevada
line on the western border of Iron county
also to build branch line running frsm or
near Juab station to the Castle valley coal
lands IN Emery county.
Superintendent Sharp was called to the
chair, and he stated briefly the objects OF
the meeting and what the directors of the
road were aiming at in taking this step.
The matter of the proposed branch line to
Castle valley was first taken up and dis
cussed. Superintendent Sharp was of the
opinion that it would be cheaper to build to
these fields than to the Pleasant valley
coal mines, and the cost Of operating would
also be much less on account of the easy
grades. 1t was decided, however, not to
withdraw the charter of the road from the
Spanish Fork canyon route. 1t was Sug-
gested that the line might be run from
Nephi up Salt Greek canyon and through
objections were found to this plan, and so
it was abolished.
The question of the extension of the main
road to the Nevada line was also thoroughly
discussed and a vote was finally taken upon
resolution containing the above mentioned
amendments and the entire number of
shares represented went in favor of the
change. About 81, 900 shares, or over two
thirds of the entire capital stock, was voted.
THE NEXT QUESTION
to be voted upon by the stockholders of the
Utah Central is the proposed consolidation
of that road with the Utah & Northern and
Oregon Short Line. The scheme is grand
one and contemplateS the broadening of the
gauge of the Utah & Northern, and the
shortening of that line; the equipment of the
Utah Central with new steel rails and its
extension to Los Angeles or some other
point in Southern California.
OThis consolidation is, it is understood,
contingent only upon the report of Chief
Engineer Cameron to the directors of the
Union Pacific, and there is every reason to
believe that this report will be favorable.
The terms have, of course, not yet been
decided upon, but the impression is that
three shares of Utah Central stock will go
for two shares of stock in the new corpora
ton.
THE CHIEF ADVANTAGES
of this change will be in the removal
of the headquarters of the Union Pacific
road to Salt Lake city which is said upon
good authority to be sure to follow. The
idea that passengers will be transferred
from the Utah & Northern to the Utah
Central at Ogden when the former road is
made standard gague is prepOsterOus. In
fact there is every reason to believe that
all the big roads will have their termini in
this city before the end of another year.
