Prof. Proctor, in his report on hemp
culture in Kentucky, gives the aver
age yield per acre as 1000 pounds OF
clean fiber, making the cost of hemp
fiber in Kentucky about three cents per
pound. The average yield of jute
fiber in India is given in the Indian
Agriculturist, of Calcutta, as LOO
pounds per acre. The estimated yield
in this country, based upon small
sowings. has ranged from 1000 to
1000 pounds per acre.
In the management Of jute crop
the following expense items that occur
in handling a hemp crop in Kentucky
would be dispensed with.
Binding and shocking 81 90
Hauling and spreading ................... ! 90
Taxing up and stacking. .................. %
Say rent OF land. %
Plenty of jute land can be obtained
in the Southern States at rental OF
81 per acre. The handling of the
stalks. however, would be greater in
jute than with hemp. because there is
much more to handle per acre, and
also much larger return; but allow
ing return of 1900 pounds per acre
and the same expenses as with hemp
in Kentucky, and the cost of jute f',er
per pound would be only about II
cent II the same energy and ecouo-
my were practiced in the managem snt
of jute crop that exist in the Guilt
walton of hemp in Kentucky there is no
reason why jute could not be produced
for less than cents per pound.
The amount OF jute fiber consumed
in the United States is enormous; more
than 5000. 900 jute sacks are annually
consumed in handling cotton seed.
meal and cake. All heavy gunnies
are of foreign make. The annual in
crease in the consumption Of jute fiber
in the United States is greater than in
any other nation The United States
is a larger consumer of jute fiber for
handling the cotton crop and its prod
ucts than all the rest of the world.
The United States is q larger consumer
of jute fiber for handling the grain
crop and its products than all the
world besides. The United States is 4
larger consumer of fiber other than
cotton for harvesting its grain crops
than all the other countries of the
globe. The United States is also the
largest consumer of jute fiber in mis-
cellaneous fabrics, employing it in a
greater variety Of uses. than all other
nations put together.
It is believed that with proper at
tention the cultivation OF jute could
be made immensely profitable in this
country. The want of machinery can
hardly be regarded as fatal difficulty.
seeing that in the raising of hemp no
machine is used from the time Of seed
ing to the bailing of the fiber other
than the well-known hemp-break. II
jute was extensively cultivated in the
South. the present trouble of the
farmer in regard to bagging for the
cotton would soon disappear.

Three days later Tremaine received
the reply at n club. where he had
asked to have it addressed.
Mr.. Diamond not only furnished the
desired information but expressed de-
light at having been afforded the ep.
portunity, and, what pleased the
schemer still more, invited the author
to call upon him when again in Lon
don.
In the meantime Tremaine had sat
for photograph, after making himself
up so that even Jean Ste. Marie did
not recognize him.
This the latter took to a skillful en-
graver, who produced it on steel in the
highest style of art, with the name OF
the author, in the handwriting of the
literary schemer, below it.
Next he employed printer to set
up in type foot-note written from the
points furnished by Mr.. Diamond, and
mentioning that gentleman by name.
From this an impression was skill

1t contained by way of frontispiece
a handsome portrait of the disguised
schemer. and the foot-note upon page
430 corresponded in every respect with
the others in the elegantly bound vol

This was at once forwarded to Mr..
Diamond by express.
1t was accompanied by letter,
thanking the banker for his kindness,
and announcing that Nj. Fortunat
would be in the English capital within
a few days.

BIG RAILROAD DEAL.
Traffic Alliance Between the Rock Is

Traffic Alliance Between the Rock Is
land and the Santa Re.
Chicago telegram BY far the most
important railroad deal that has come TO
pass for years has been completed. 1t is a
combination between the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka
q Santa Fe railroads, whereby through
line between Chicago and California points
is formed as a rival Of the Union Pacific
and the Chicago u Northwestern alliance.
The matter has been in negotiation for
some time and the final details of the ar
rangement were finished late yesterday af-
ternoon, and the contract duly signed by
the proper officials of the interested COM
panies 1t becomes operative at once.
Ky the terms of the Contract, which is
made TO cover long period of years, the
Rock Island and the Atchison bind them
selves TO the operation of a through line
between Chicago and all Pacific coast
points for the handling Of transcontinental
traffic, the line TO be known as the Rock
Island a. Santa Fe route. The junction
point of the two systems in the formation
of this line is Dodge City, Kan, where all
east an / west bound business will be trans
ferred. The entire route is made lS7 miles
shorter than that now in operation by the
Santa Fe alone.
Furthermore il will make the shortest
route i'm existence from Chicago to all
California points south OF Los Angeles,
while TO San Francisco the distance will be
only %! miles greater than by the North
western and Union Pacific.
The Rock Island and the Santa Fe are
strong competitors between Chicago and
the Misso ri river, and also between Chi
cago and Denver. The agreement does
hatr oil in
except that it binds them to harmonious
action in all matters affecting rates. and
will compel them to keep faith with each
other wherever they come in competition.
The traffic contract applies only to
Pacific coast business. The Santa Fe will
continue 10 control all its own traffic to
and from points in Kansas, Colorado,
Indian Territory, and Texas, and will
handle all business over its own line be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City except
that destined TO or originating at points
on the Pacific slope The officials of both
roads are we'll satisfied with their con-
tract and expect to prove very soon that
the all lance is an immensely beneficial one
to both properties
One great advantage is claimed for this
limo over that of the Union Pacific: IL
crosses the continent i'm latitude that is
free from snow blockades, and will in all
probability be able to make better aver
age time during the winter months than
