Sugar importation.

AS far as 1870 we imported billion
pounds OF sugar at a cost OF $55, 1000. :
OOO. Then beet sugar constituted but
81 per cent. OF the total sugar Yield Of
the world. Then but $4,000 tons
were made, but in 1885 it amounted
to 2,545,O ,OO0 tons, or SO per cent. of the
total sugar OF the world. Maple sugar
has reached its limits, $4,000 OOQ
pounds, and it is probable that date
sugar, 100000 pounds, will decrease
rather than increase. The limits of
caHe sugar, .o~c-~.I ----n.- -
tropics, will operate against any large
increase of that sugar, hence it may
be asserted that the beet sugar will be
depended upon for the increase in the
total quantity of sugar demanded for
consumption. The United States is
large consumer of sugar; the people
OF this country use far more per capita
than those of France and Germany,
and the quantity annually used is in
creasing each year. A hundred
million dollars can he saved il our
country can manufacture its own
sugar and California with its success
In this line promises a great future
in beet sugar making. We may ex.
pect in time to see factories multiplied
until hundreds of millions of pounds
will be manufactured each year. IL il
estimated that during the present
year California will produce more
than three fifths of the total amount
OF beet-sugar made in the United
States, the other sections OF the Union
manufacturing beet-sugar being
Nebraska, Utah and Virginia. OF the
three California factories the Alameda
Sugar Company at Alvarado has LOCO
acres planted to sugar-beets, and ex.
poets from these to manufacture g..
100000 pounds of sugar. The Chino
Valley Beet Sugar Company has g.
GOO acres planted to beets and expect
to manufacture 100000 pounds of
sugar this season. The Western Beet
Sugar Company, which has its factory
at Watsonville, in Santa Cruz county
has between 5000 and 1900 acres
planted to sugar-beats, and will this
year make nearly eigh million pounds
of sugar. This will give the total
quantity from this State at over a.
teen million pounds, and the outlook
is bright for increased outputs in the
future from each of these factories
with the probabilities that additional
factories will be erected during the
next few days.

For fifteen minutes after the train
started he pretended to be reading a
paper and she was looking out of the
window. But every minute or two he
glanced at her over the top of his
paper and her gaze frequently rested
on his face.
And she seemed to be proud of him.
Suddenly she turned toward him
with the exclamation:
"Jacob, do you need every paper in
this car ?"
He threw her over one he had in his
lap.
"I wonder you didn't think of it be-
FORE" she said.

want anything" he retorted.
" You've got u tongue"
1ueTe were more comments from
various portions of the car, and every
one seemed to be wondering what he
would do next.
Ten minutes later he looked stealth
lily around the car. Every eye was
fixed on him or the young woman who
was looking shyly over the top of her
paper. He threw his down.
Maria," he said, They've sized us
up! We can't fool 'em and there's no
use trying"
A moment later the newly-made
wife's head was pillowed ON her hus-
bands shoulder, and as she looked up
into his eyes she suggested:
Perhaps we overdid it, Jacob"
" Perhaps we did," he said, but this
is better anyway"
Then he kicked the papers into the
aisle and they carried on whispered
conversation for ninety miles.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[From our regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 5, 1890.
Mr.. Harrison and Mr.. Blaine In their
efforts to make political capital for the
Republican party and to aid Mr.. Harri-
son in securing the Republican nomi-
nation next year seems to have made a
bad mess of the Behring Sea trouble
with Great Britain. They have placed
the United States in most undesirable
position, where we shall either have to
fight England or become the laughing
stock of the world. The British minis
ter, has it is said, informed Mr.. Blaine
confidentially that bis government will
fire upon any American vessel that at
tempts during the coming sealing sea-
son to search or seize vessels engaged
In sealing in Behring Sea under the
British flag.
This information has, it Is believed,
caused Mr.. Harrison to delay sending
in to Congress the correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Blaine and the British
foreign Office and his message of fexpla-
nation, all of which was ready a week
ago. Mr.. Harrison is perfectly willing
that his administration should be the
cause of stirring up the anti-British
feeling, but he hesitates to go to Con-
gress for an appropriation of money for
real war with England. He fears that
Congress might brush aside the admin
istration theories and authorize the
arbitration which it has refused. Ger
tainly we are not in any condition at
the present time to fight Great Britain
upon the water, where we would have
to fight, and the idea of az American
bockdown is not a pleasant one to con-
template. There may be some Con-
gressional music on this subject little
later on.
A Democratic conference, including
both Senators and Representative, was
held today for the purpose of consider
ing ways and means of opposing the
newly announced republican method
of trying TO force the Force bill to a
vote in the Senate by holding long
continuous sessions for the purpose OF
tiring out the Democrats. 1t was de-
termined oresist to the end any and all
efforts on the part of the republicans to
force q vote. Just what form this re-
sistance will take will depend entirely
upon circumstances. If the republi-
cans get quorum of their own mem
bers, which they are working hard to
do, it will settle down to a question ol
physical endurance. If they fail to get
| a quorum, or to keep one present 1t will
be easy to block their game-the Demo.
cratic Senators have only to absent
themselves; thus breaking a quorum
without which no vote can be taken.
The republicans have temporarily
abandoned their gag rule, not so much
because of opposition to it in their own
/ ranks, though there Is some little, al
because, after counting noses, they be-

IIeved that they could pass the bill
without shocking the large conserva-
tive element Of the country by any
thing quite as revolutionary as that gag
rule, but they will not hesitate to adopt
II iftheir present plans miscarry as they
are likely tn do through the stubbOr-
ness Of the Democratic opposition.
The Democratic Senators have very
little hope OF republican help In de.
feating the bill, as u is now certain
that not more that four republicans
will vote against IL, and II their votes
would defeat the bill 1t Is doubtful
whether they would cast hem; THEY
have In Difference to the wishes of the
constituents, let it be known that they
are opposed to the bill, but do not be-
lieve that they will cast their votes
against IL, unless certain that they will
not affect the result. In other words
they are opposing the bill for effect at
home, and in the hope ofgetting Demo-
cratic votes for certain legislation In
which they and their constituents are
more directly interested.
IL Is generally conceded that the
joint resolution offered by Senator
Carlisle authorizing the appointment
of three commissioners to act with a
like number appointed by the Canadian
government in investigating the COM
merce of the two countries and devils
ing means to promote and increase 1t,
Is step in the right direction and yet
Mr.. Carlisle says he Is certain that re-
publican Senators will not allow it to
be acted upon. He says he intends
