The yearly expenditure for food per
family In the United States is, on the
average. s2s7. os; IN Great Britain it is
s24s.5o. In the total summing up the
expenditure per family for all purposes
in the cotton industry a this country is

Ia the wooden industries the average
family expenses in the United States
are s5o4.O9; in Great Britain s4s1.64.
The comparisons between the United
States and the countries Of Europe,
where the policy Of high protection also
reigns, show that expenses vary in each
TO a large extent according to the hab-
its Of living, the strain of huge stand
ing army debts, the climate, denSeness
OF population, and various conditions
which have nothing 20 do with tariffs.
Republican organs that would like TO
make protectionist capital out Of Col.
WRIGHr's canvass must meet the fact
that free trade England pays better
wages and gives the workingman a
more liberal margin between wages and
expenses than do the most highly pro-
tected countries in Europe. And, more
over, this margin grows less and less in
proportion to the amount of So-called
protection.
After all conditions, including long
hours and enforced idleneSs, are taken
into consideration it must take light

THE counsel for the Sugar Trust as
sert that, if the bill repeating the du-
ties on refined sugars should be passed,
many refneries would be closed, fully
$4,000 men would be thrown out of en-
ployment and untold misery would be
brought upon their families. This is
humbug. Several years ago Mr.. THEo-
DoRE HAvE,lEYER, one Of the big men
of the existing sugar monopoly, said to
the Ways aud Means Committee that,
if the refnories had free raw sugar,
they could compete against the world
without having any duty on refined
sugar. This declaration is a matter Of
record The truth is, the present duty
ON refined sugar is simply and solely for
the benefit of the Sugar Trust.

uNPROVOKFD BATTERY

- Red-Nose George Sentenced to AL
most Four Months.
George Miles, alias "Red-Nos George ,:
was tried before Judge Cravens yester-
day on two charges of battery, preferred
by Mrs. C. Getchel and James McCue.
They testified that Miles was in an apart
ment in the rear of the Scroggs building
when McCue, who seemed quite feeble,
called at his door for Mrs. Getchel, where
upon Miles ran out and attacked him.
beating him on the head with a stick.
Mrs. Getchel ran out and called on him
to desist, when Miles struck her also,
cutting cash on her cheek Both wit
nesses were quite seriously hurt.
Miles testified and acknowledged that
he had struck both his accusers, saving
that he thought he struck them with his
hand, but that he was full OF beer at the
time.
The court found him guilty of both
charges and sentenced him TO 100 days
for the first charge and to 120 days for the
second, or go days altogether in the
County Jail.

TEE BUGLE SOUNDS,
And the National Guardsmen are
About to Move.
Troops VIII be Pouring Into s.nta
Cruz Until Midnight Tonight
Latest Pointers.

At ESQ o'clock this afternoon the First
Artillery Regiment. Band, Signal Corps
and officers will leave by special train for
Santa Cruz, going via Oakland. Com
pany G will arrive from Nevada City this
morning at 1910. and Company will be
picked up at Davisville. The train will
reach camp about midnight.
All baggage must be left at the depot
by noon, and the horses will be at the
| freight depot, at the foot Of 1 street, at l
O'Clock.
The men will take rations for use en-
route.
Most of the brigade staff will leave on
the regular 10:40 train this forenoon, as
there is considerable preliminary work
to be done in locating the guard line and
other matters.
Colonel Henshaw's regiment will pass
through the city about noon on its way to
camp. and will be due in Santa Cruz at 6
Pm.
Lieutenant Colonel Mckee and family
and Major Ryan and family have already
gone. Major j. ID. Gilchrist will not be
in camp, being i'll at his home in Pasa-
dena. This is source of regret TO the
Brigade Staff, as he is a very capable
officer and popular with the home regi-
ment. He is about the only officer on
the staff who will be absent, except Major
Hebron, who is in Europe on fur
Tough.
Major Weinstock will act as Inspector
OF Rifle Practice and Ordnance officer
during the encampment. He will have
some 1000 rounds of ammunition shipped
to camp for target practice and volley-
| firing, which will be interesting if the
present plans are carried out.
All who have revolvers are requested
to take them along, as there will be prac-
tlce with that weapon also.
Major NJ. j. Dillman will not be able to
go to camp until the middle of the week.
"Archie," of Camp Stoneman fame, is
going along with the staff as a protege of
Major Weinstock. He is to be rugged up
to look like General -- as much as
possible.
Colonel Hubbard has received the
Tenth Battalion roster, showing thirty
one officers and men in one company and
thirty seven in the other. The battalion
is from Humboldt County, and will be a
part of the First Brigade.
Colonel Guthrie says that all that are
going to camp should get their tickets be-
fore II o'clock to-day. No tickets will be
sold on the train.

BURNED BARNS.
Four of Them Destroyed Yesterday
Evening.
1t Was the Old story-The Firemen
Could Not Get a Sufficient
Water Supply.

Shortly after o'clock last evening a
fire broke out in barn in the alley be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh, E and F
streets, owned by p. Sullivan. 1t was
destroyed before the firemen could reach
it.
Inc names meantime had attacked the
barns Of E. Riley and Mrs. Mains, on the
same side of the alley, and these were
mostly destroyed. A brick barn owned
by Mrs. ID. c. Kirk, on the south side of
the alley was also badly damaged.
Sulliyan's barn was insured, but not
Tor quite its full value, and was worth
about $3.50.
Ihere was no insurance on Mrs. Mains
barn, and her loss was about 5000.
In Riley's barn was stored a large
quantity Of baled hay, which was not in
sured, and his loss is between $500 and
1000.
If there had been anything of a breeze
blowing at the time the fremen would
not have been able to prevent a serious
contagration and great loss of residence
property. The fire occurred just at the
tlme when the city requires all domestic
irrigation to be done-between and 9
o'clock-which practically confines the
lrrlgatlng TO two hours, from 3 TO z. The
result was that nearly all the garden hose
In the city was in use and water was rum
nlng from thousands of private hydrants.
Chief Guthrie tried to get four streams
OF water, but could not; then he tried three,
but still there was no pressure, so he had
TO come down to two streams with which
To fight flames in four buildings. He
went to the Water Works building while
the pressure was still on, and the engineer
Informed him that he could not get more
than forty pounds pressure with both
lamps running.
What condition the city would be in
If several fires should break out at one
time, especially if at the time everybody
is using water! To be sure, there is an
ordinance that requires all house and
garden hydrants to be shut off during a
hre, but probably not one-third the popu-
latlon hears the tire-whistle, and only
few OF these understand the necessity for
closing their hydrants.
BY many persons the present regula-
non is regarded as bad one, for many
reasons. 1t puts strain upon the pumps,
ana even then they cannot give force
enough to throw stream from quarter
inch nozzle twenty feet. In case fire
breaks out while all the garden hydrants
are open, as on yesterday, there is no
water for the firemen.
1t might be worth while to suspend the
present rule governing the use of water.
and see If the result would not be more
satisfactory. Some, it is argued, would
use water at one hour in the day, some at
another, and so on, there being at no time
a general use thereof. If the result should
be unsatisfactory, the present method
could be resumed.
Alter all, the only true remedy for the
whole thing would be a water supply
from the eastern suburbs, with machin-
cry that would give a guaranteed and
uniform pressure of ninety pounds all
over the city.

FORTY DOLLARS.
The Cost of Ginsberg's Small Sta,
tionery Transaction.
Dismissal of the Charge Against MIR.
and Mrs. Swasey-A Fourth
Street Society Fracas.

John Doe forfeited his deposit of SIS by
not appearing in the Police Court yester-
| day to repulse the attack upon his repu-
tation. He was charged, as usual, with
being drunk.
Mrs. Perry, very old lady, was ar
raigned for misdemeanor in having, as
alleged, disturbed the peace of her neigh
bors on Fourth street, between o and P.
The case seemed to be the work of a
splenetic female of the neighborhood,
who summoned about dozen witnesses
to appear against Mrs. Perry.
After examining four witnesses, none
of whom could testify to any act of the
old lady's, City Attorney Hart asked a
dismissal of the case, and Judge Cravens
promptly acquitted Mrs. Perry.
The case against Alva and Mrs. Elsie
Swasey for alleged misdemeanor, in hav-
ing abandoned minor child, was dis
missed TO lack of evidence.
James &. and Mrs. Stokes were ar
ralgned for battery on the complaint of
Z. ii. Gilman, but as some of the wit
nesses were absent the case was contin-
ued until to-day.

that he did not think it case where a

that the offense was one committed every
day by what are considered good citizens.
and that even newspapers are constantly
violating the laws in regard to lotteries.
He claimed that the law transgressed bv
Ginsberg was practically a dead statute,

Judge Cravens said, in pronouncing
sentence. that it was true the law was vio9
lated daily, but this was not sufficient
reason why an offender found guilty
should not be punished. He held it was
the duty of the officers and courts to en-
force the law as it appeared on the statute
books. 1t was, however, evident that
great many people encouraged the traffic
in lottery tickets, for if there were no
purchasers there would certainly not be
many sellers. The Judge thought such
violations of the law ought to contribute
substantially to the maintenance of the
courts, but in this instance he did not
feel like inflicting the extreme penalty.
He therefore announced his judgment as
a fine of $40.
Jim Hee, a Chinese found guilty of
petty larceny, was sentenced to forty DAYS

action brought by the latter against Nell
son Shaver to determine her ownership to
207 acres of land, a part Of the Rancho de

teenth and Twentieth streets, and the east
half of lot Z, in the block bounded by II
and /. Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets,
which property is held and claimed by
Shaver.
The plaintiff is the daughter of Shaver
and alleges that the property described

and was decided to her the plaintiff), but
that the deeds were not recorded and
were burned by Shaver after his wife's
death.

Members fthe Executive Committee
of the Federated Trades yesterday inter-

the possible removal of the Chinese from

as menace to the health and safety of
the public.
Mr.. Hart expressed the belief that such
removal could be legally accomplished
and will prepare an ordinance with that
object in view. Then petitions will be
circulated for signatures and the City
trustees requested to pass the ordinance.
The committee also contemplates ask
ing the Supervisors to abolish the chain

ing to men, besides interfering with free
labor.
