Prof Wiley Of the agricultural depart
ment speaks ef the Importance of fostering
and encouraging the sugar industry of the
United S ates. In answer TO a question
whether he considered beet or sorghum as
the more promising, he said that beet was
by all odds the most promising. 1t was be-
yond the domain OF experiment AL that
was necessary was for farmers to grow
beets, and for capitalists TO establish
factories. While he was hopeful of sorghum,
he admitted that that problem was more
difficult one. The sorghum industry needed
more fostering than either the sugar cane or
beet industry. He did not anticipate very
high results from the sorghum experiment
in Kansas, as u 10 per cent article like
sorghum could not compete with a IA per
cent. article like the beet. Sorghum, how
ever, made an excellent alcohol, and he
thought that Kansas stood in its own light
in preventing its people from making al

rather invest ia beet sugar than any other

A Mobile Suburb Where a Mans Lii

A Mobile Suburb Where a Mans Life
Isn't Worth Candle.
MOBILE, ALA, Jan. -Wheelerville, a
suburb of Mobile, has been noted in the past
as a hard neighborhood, and more than one
cruel murder has disgraced its annals. All
has been quiet there for some weeks, how
ever, until Christmas evening, when in an
apparently trihing dispute, Thomas Thomp-
son shot and instantly killed Manford Lane.
The plea is self-defense, but the trial
is yet to take place. Active in
bringing the accused to justice has
been Henry Baker, a justice of the peace of
Wheelerville, who stated that there had
been SO many foul deeds done there
that he would do all he could to bring law
breakers to justice He held an inquest, and
took personal interest i'll seeing Thompson

AN ATTEMPT TO AssAssINATE HIM.
Saturday night late he was going home,
and at point thirteen miles from town be
was fired upon by parties in ambush. Nine
blue whistlers penetrated the small of his
back. Then the assassins fired with rifles
and pistols, shattering the body of his
buggy, but doing him no damage. He was
brought to this city yesterday and received
treatment His wounds are very severe,
but not necessarily fatal Baker says he
recognized two of his assalantS, but refuses
to make their names public.

GOVERNMENT OF PARIS.
A Fight Between the City and the
Federal Government.

A Fight Between the City and the
Federal Government.
PARIS, Jan. 6.-Upon the reassembling
Of the Chamber of Deputies to-day NJ.
Chautemps, radical republican. and for
merly president of the Paris municipal coun-
Gil, moved the reorganization of the police
Of the project of the Seine. The motion is
important for its relation to an old dispute
between the central government and the
authorities of tho city Of Paris. The munic-
ipal government of the city, rs a body
directly representing the people of the
city, claims that it should have control Of
tho police Of the city, and in so far as this
control is taken from it, it is deprived of
self-government, but the general govern
ment claims that Paris, as the capital and
seat OF government, cannot be left in the
hands of the local authorities.
INFLAMED THE COMMUNE.
The quarrel on this point helped to give
passion to the battle Of the commune. II
will appear, therefore, that NJ. Chautemps'
PROPOSE ion for reform Of the police covers
the project of putting it into the hands of
the city authorities,
The Boulangsts are concentrating their
political efforts in Paris. Gen. Boulanger,
it is said, will contest the eighteenth ar
rondlssement.
The latest phase Of the Boulangist con-
spiracy is, consequently, that the municipal
government shall control the police, and
that Gen. Boulanger shall control the mu-
nicipal government.
