THE SOUTHWRSTERN BOUNDARY.
GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS AT WORK SURVEYING
THE MEXICAN LINE.

Son DIEGO Cal, March THE United States COnst
Survey Is now engaged In the Interesting work OF
reeslabshng the boundary line between the uhitcd
States and Mexico. Under the auspices OF the com
mission agreed upon by the respective Governments,
observers from the Coast survey office have established

of 1853 the boundary line agreed upon began In

Trade RavIew.


NEW YoRK. January ar g. Dun q Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says;
The old year closed with a little more than
the usual holiday 6ullness in general trade. but
reports as to the volume of the holiday trade
are mainly satisfactory. At Chicago it was
the heaviest ever known, at st. Louis unusu-
ally large and in the jewelry business the
biggest ever known. but at Philadelphia and
New Orleans not quite up to expectations,
and at Little Rock unsatisfactory.
The quiet in other trades at this season OF
the year is not bad sign. and IN nearly all
the reports it is added that the prospects for
the coming year are considered unusually
bright. Exceptions are to be found IN the
south, where unusually low price cotton ana
the accumulation of extraordinary stOcAs
caused a depression in trade and strlngency
in the money markets, but at New Orleans
the money market Is carer, though still there
is strong demand there and at Richmond and
Savannah.
At Chicago the receipts of wheat doubled
in comparison with the same week last year,
and in corn, rye, dressed beef and wool the
increase third, with some increase IN
cattle and flour, but a decrease OF third IN
hides and quarter in oats.
The sales of general merchandise much ex-
ceeds last years.
At Omaha and Kansas City the car famine
restricts the movement of products
At ct. Louis the mild weather has bad
effect on the trade in woolens, heavy clothing
and rubbers.

BRIDeEPoRT, CoNN.. December 31.-The
steamer City of Bridgeport left New York as
usual. When the boat reached a point of
Nerwalk passengers observed flames burst
ing from the floor of the women's cabin. In
a second the widest excitement prevailed.
The passengers, mostly women and children,
returning from shopping tour IN New York,
were panic-stricken. There was a rush for
lfe-preservers, and women tainted. Many
men on board lost their presence of mind
and thought only Of themselves, some secur-
ing three -preserFers, while helpless
women and children had none. The officers
on the boat were unsuccessful in their efforts
TO restrain the passengers. The crew was
ordered to the pumps but they could not be
made to work for several minutes In the
meantime the flames, which started at the
bottom of the smOke-stack, gained consider
able Roadway. The captain ordered the pilot
to head for the Connecticut shore and to
keep within three minutes run of land, ana
the engineer to proceed at full steam. The
crew worked at the pumps for half an hour,
and succeeded in extlnguishing the flames.
The passengers could not be prevailed upon
to remove the hfe-preservers fastened about
their bodies until the boat reached her wharf
N this citys when the hames again burst out
anew but Tor the second time were eXtin-
guished- As quickly as possible the passen-
gers we're landed. Many of the women had
70 De transferred IN carriages to their homes
suffering with hysteria- Even the male pas
sengers say they thought their last hours had
come. They had started TO cut loose the life
boats The heroic work of the crew alone
saved the boat from destruction and the pas
sengers from a horrible death The pipe
about the smOkestRck had fallen from It's
place, and the overheated chimney lguited
thu woodwork, which was famed into a
blaze. The damage TO the steamer will not
exceed $1,000. The officials of the company
are reticent about the accident

WASHINGTON D. c.. January The COM
missioner of internal revenue has issued a
special report on the sugar industry. It in
eludes some interesting information about
the sorghum sugar production of Kansas In
March last congress passed law providing
for the payment of a bounty of ? cents per
pound on all sugar produced in the United
States from beets, sorghum, sugar cane or
maple sap, the sugar to test 80 degrees.
The commissioner says that Kansas is the
only state which ia producing sorghum sugar.
Last year the production of the state was
!, 132,O44 pounds. Only three factories in
Kansas have applied to him this year for the
bounty. They are the Parkinson Sugar
company of Fort Scott, the Medicine Lodge
Sugar Works and Refining company, and
Pane Il Hansford of Topeka. The Parkinson
tinated their production at 1,OO0OO)
pounds. the Medicine Lodge company had
2.434 acres planted, but their estimate pro-
ductlon is only 900, OOO pounds Pape &
Hansford report to the commissioner that
they planted 300 acres and say they will
apply tor bounty on about 100000 pounds.
The commissioner says In his report: 'Reg-
ulatIons has been issued by this ONCE govern
ing the withdrawal from distIllery ware
houses, free of tax, Of distilled spirits to be
used in the maiiufa cture OF sugar from sor-
ghum. pursuant to this provision. The sOr-
ghum manufacturers have not taken advan-
tage OF this provision the present season.
The use of alcohol, free of tax. by manufac-
tuTe.s of sugar from sorghum for the pur-
pose of separating the gummy matter from
the sorghum juice prom ses to be of great
advantage to the industry IN Kansas. Re
cent experiments made in this direction by
eie department of agriculture show that the
yield of sugar from sorghum cane will be
about doubled by the new process"
The report says regarding the beet sugar
industry: "In the continental countries of
Europe this industry has grown within re-
cent years to great dimensions, so that now
the production OF beet sugar in the world ex-
ceeds that of the cane. The improved meth
DDS of manufacture and the protective sys-
tenn established in those countries, and the
payment of bounties TO beet sugar manufac-
turers on exporting their product have pro-
duced this result. The bounty granted to
manufacturers OF sugar. the admission free
of duty of beet sugar machinery until July !,
1892, and the encouragement given by the
department of agriculture IN the experiments
for the benefit OF the farmers, and the aid
given by the different states will doubtless
have the effect of stimulating the industry in
this country. In 1880 thIes factories in this
country 1.-TWO in California and one in Ne
braska) produced about S,OOO,O0O pounds.
Three additional factories have been estab-
hshed during the past year, and it is esti-
mated that their production this year viii be
25,OOO,OOO pounds"

WASHINGTON. D. C., December 31.-Acting
Secretary Grant said that he regarded the
situation on the Mexican frontier as serious,
and the war department was exerting itself
to prevent further violation of the neutrality
necessary to prevent these men from cross
ing backwards and forwards between Mexico
aud the United Stases, the entire force of
Sta nley's command will be distributed along
the bank of the Rio Grande. 1t is believed
at the war department that GarZia's move
ment is gaming strength Notwithstanding
the efforts of the United States and Mexican
troops to restrain it. and some officers recall
the fact that Diaz, president Of Mexico,
reached his present station through a revolu-
tonary movement conducted across the
boundary just as Garzia is conducting his

WASHINGTON, d. c.. January Mrs. Har-
rison is giving a series of state luneheons.
Thirty-fye ladies are invited to each.
At the last one the floral decorations were
all in white and green. There were palms
and tall rubber plants standing like sentinels
In the corners of the room and at either side
Of the Bullets.
The mantels had banking of low pots of
white prlmroses mingled with malden-hair
fern. The table decorations were in white
and green. Along tae mirrored surface of
the old-fashioned plateau down the center
was an oval cushion of maiden-hair fern
studded with white camelias- At the four
corners of the cloth there were rings of white
hyacinthe blooms and roses.
The tall silver candlesticks had their tapers
capped with futted white shades. The new
small silver pieces and the new glass were
conspicuous adornements of useful sort.
There was no wine served. for at each place
only water goblet and an Apollinaris tum-
bier were placed.
The ladies found loose clusters of white
rose buds, spray or two of fern and a Dig
pin to adjust them to their corsage at their
places. The name cards were decidedly
unique.
Each had a water colored portrait of lady
IN the fashionable dress of all the decades in
the century. These cards were imported,
and were etched by a French artist. As
models OF old time fashions, now grotesque
In the extreme, they afforded much amuse-
ment to the ladies. The name of the guest
was painted in gilt across each card.

A Good Listener.

TOPEKA. January 1.-Governor Humphrey
has developed as a remarkably good listener.
he has been talked to by delegations great
and small and by single politicians for days
and days; yet he is patient and seems to give
due attention to them all.
During the heat of the canvas of the ques-
ton of the appointment of a senator he found
time to say 10 an interviewer:
swell, l never invited this sort of proceed
ing. ! have been IN Office three years and
know we'll all the candidates. I know the
merits and claims of each one better than do
many who appear for them. But since one
has been heard, all must be heard. Ny

and l shall listen lmpartially to all that have
anything TO say. The most embarrassing,
and at the same time the proudest feature of
the situation is that there are so many good
and able men seeking the post. If one were
strong and the others weak should have no
trouble in reaching a conclusion. But
must choose from among a number. all of
whom are very able men. think that but

ALBANY, n. Y, December 31.-The deci-
sion of the court of appeals caused great con-
sterna.ion among republicans but they have
not yet given up the fight, and the leaders
are nov in consultation as to what is best to
be done The democrats are Jubilant, and
prominent ones say: Hereafter the repub-
lican party of this state will be dream OF
the past. SO far as political standing goes"
The democrats have now complete control
of the state government. and the Enumeration
bill will be rushed through and at once fol-
lowed By the reappOrtionment and redistrict-
ing bill.
The importance of the democrats control
ling the senate is not only local but national,
as it may possibly decide the next election
for the presidency, as there will surely be a
reapportionment of the state in the interest
of the democrats. Besides this importance
there is a great deal of patronage in appoint
ments of officials TO places so long held by
republicans, such as health officers, Quaran-
tine commissioners, railroad commissioners
civil service commissioners, state asses
sors, etc.

WAsHINaros, D. c., December 30.-Ths
commissioners Of internal revenue has issued
- showing the production of oleomar-
Rals<6 in the United States in the last two
years. The report shows that in Kansas
there is but one oleomargarine factory, which
Il located at Kansas Caty, Kan. Two years
ago there were two factories, but one has
since closed In the year 1880, the Kansas
factories produced 2. AZ. 554 pounds; in 1891
the production was 3.92s. sSs pounds, of
which 9,765 pounds remain in the factory
and 2o,sSs was withdraw for export. The
governments collected a tax on every pound
manufactured, the tax collected this year be-
ing S7ss256-96. The report shows that there
are 194 retail dealers in oleomargarine in
Kansas and these dealers paid licences
amounting 10 $50
The report shows that in the past year the
production OF oleOmargarine IN the United
states was a, 5d2. 400 pounds. on which the

During the year not only was the practice

WAS more oleOmargarIne on the market not
Marked branded and stamped, as required
By law, than had been previously supposed.
Although the extent Of the work in certain
districts fell somewhat short Of the expect

was rather satisfactory. The per cent of
products discovered not marked, branded

eight in every thousand samples examined.
This being nearly double the per cent of
