ALASKA.

The annual report of Governor Knapp of
Alaska contains Stats. ics which will surprise
that class which has been incline o look
upon that Teri tory, bought of Russia by
Secretary Seward twenty-five years ago, as an
Improbable and unproductive acquis ton.
The exports from Alaska last year reached
nearly S., 600, 900, while it's imports, consist
ing Of machinery and merchandise, amounted
to only So, q 900, leaving ~ handsome ba-
lance in favour Of the Territory The popu-
lation Of the county. however, is sparse, ag-
gIegating only 81 900, most of which is Of
Indian blood. A number Of Indian schools
has been established at different settlements,
which PR mise good results in the future.
The greatest difficulty that Alaska encounters
at present il the lawless and turbulent charac-
ter of the natives. The latter have en- inor-
dinate craving for intoxicating drink, and, in
spite of the existence of a rigid proh,bitory
law, manage through smugglerS to crafty
their MOI bid appetite. AS a consequence
drunkenness and disorder prevail to a large
extent, although the authorities srpesr
to relax no efforts to enforce the
law. With a sober and industrious popu-
lation Alaska would bea source Of vast wealth
to the United States. 1t abounds with gold.
lumber and coal, and its tod, salmon and seal
fisheries are perhaps unsurpassed anywhere
on the globe. 1t is to be regretted that these
itch resources nave not reached q greater stage
of develop nent.-T6id

it is only within the last thirty years, how
eve, that bcets have rivaled and finally sur
Iassed cane as sugar producers At present
continental Europe not only grows its own
sugar, but also exports Largely. principally to
the United States, which is both absolutely
and in proportion to population by far the
reatest sugar consuming country in the world.
If Euro Pc can produce her own sugar. why
cannot the United States do The same thing ?
1t has been found by experiment that the
bee 8 in Germany produce from ~ to IL per
cent. of saccharine matter, and at the latter
figure their cultivation is exceedingly prof;a-
bic. It has been demonstrated that in the
vast dry upland plains Of our Western coun.
try, where the sun 10 almost always shin
ing, and where the amount Of moisture can be
regulated by irrigation, the beets will produce
at least l8 per cent. of saCoharine matter and
it is fair to presume that with proper selection
of seed and proper cultivation the percentage
could be raised al least to 20. The raising Of
beets for this purpose has only lately been
begun in the United States, but the concerns
that are now opel ating are understood to be
making q handsome return upon the capital
invested.
If Europe, with its limited area and it's
partially worn out soil. con raise sugar for
it's own consumption, certainly this country
W til its almost limitless expanse Of cultivabIe
lands not yet fully in use, and with its virgin
soil and its happier climatic conditions ought
to be able to raise more sugar than Europe.
There is here an opportunity for capital that
is rot often presented. The cane sugar sup
ply has about reached its limit. The demand
IS already in excess of the supply in sight.
II the present provisions Of the Mckinley law
with respect to sugar could be maintained it
would not be too much to expect that within
a few years tho United States would be p'o-
ducing the larger part Of its own ~sugar.-The

THE OBSERVATORY OF MARINE

An appeal from America.

The following letter amply demonstrates
the deep interest taken in the proposed Bio
logical Observatory for Jamaica by American
scientists. When eminent biologists in all
lands are Thus tsstifying to the Worldwide
importnnos of the project, West Indians.
and especially Jamaioans. can i'll afford to ls
slip this golden opportunity for scientific
distinction. through sluggish indifference.
If the West Indians but resolve. as one united
people, to secure this prize, there can be no
doubt as to the issue Of the undertaking.
Above all, public interest in the matter must
not be allowed to subsids it 10 the office OF

CAN WE u. 81 GROW OUR OWN SUGAR?

The people Of the. United States consume at
least a million and q 1alf tons of sugar every
wear. At present not more than 10 per cent.
Of that amount is produced within our own
territory. Cuba produces about goo, 600 tons
of cane sugar. Germany produces 100000
tons Of beet sugar, and other European coun-
tries as much more. The total sugar product
of the world is q little over six million tons.
The worlds consumption of sugar is rapidly
outrunning the production. In three years 1t
has increased 1858. 900 tons, an average OF
S61, 900 tons per year. Last year the con-
sumption was 6,2s9, 900 tons, and if this year
shows. the usual increase the consumption
will be 6,650,0OO tons. Careful statistioians.
however, have estimated this years probable
crop 1t only 6. 16O, GOO toni. of which 3,400, 600
tons is produced from beets and 2.76O,0Oo
tons from cane. It is evident therefore, that
unless there 10 soon Q large increase in sugar
production, the demand will largely exceed
the supply. %
The production of sugar from beets was
Hrat begun in France in 1911, under the aus
pioss and direction Of Napoleon Bonaparts.

A portion Of the Press of Paris has been
accusing the Marquis de Mohrenheiln, Am
basssdor for Rusais, and Count Mena oroa,
reosntly Ambassador for Italy, OF taking
bribss. from the Panama Company. Apart
from the characters of the gentlemen accused,
the imputa;ion seems Absurd, as neither OK
the = GOULD by any possibility have helped the
Company 10 float its loans. Count Menobrsa
who 10 ont Of Office, has given a PsremptoIy
denial to the charges; but tie Marquis de
Nohrenheim necessarily remains silent. The
.Moparchical Powers" a,s, it is said, greatly
irlitated by the charges, which they regard as
outraRes and the North German" Gazette as
serts thai if they ar repeated, all Ambassadors
must lie vii bdla until the tempest OF cal
umny be ovorpasssd. Such charges are, OF
course. wholly opposed to International cour-
tcsy, and mighl in conceivable cases, destroy an
Ambassadors influence; but the remedy aug
gssted cannot be q wise one. 1t would inter
rupt International business too much. 1t
would be much easier for oaoh state to treat
grave libel az it now treats outrage against an
Ambassadors house or suite, and prosecute OF
it's own accord; evidence being given in the
usual way. If that evidence implicated the
accused, he could be recalled by his own
Government. Ambassadors, unless history
lies, have been bribed occasionally, the al
Legations against Talleyrand for instance, are
numerous,-bu it has been in the way of
gifts from Courts, not from private indivi-
duGis.

WRITING MACHINE.

Years ago, Mrs. Yost built a type
writer, the Remington No. and
Caligraph which were good enough
then. But the family has increased
by thousands. Other folks have
hitched on extensions to hold 'em.
But it's the same old typewriter,
same ribbon, same scales, same
rickety print. We want something
modern, and we get it in the NEW
YosT, which Uses superior 10 the
difficulties Of any ribbon machine.
The ribbon blurs print, wears full
of holes, clogs type, takes power TO
pull it along, weakens manifolding
and costs IS or $40 year. Our
ink pad outlasts twenty ribbons.
Can be changed in ten seconds, and
costs less than 50 year. And as
to permanent alignment the YosT
is the only machine which accom-
pl!shes this much desired feat.

her husband can accompany her even

Of her family absorb Ihost of her atte1i-
ton. Genial and cordial, her manner,

an abundance Of light, fluffy hair. Her

Mrs Brown is from a long line Of an
cestry noted from the foundation of our
government for its brave men and beau
tiful women. The blood Of John Alden
and Priscilla Mullens courses her veins.
A gracious manner, beautiful face and
exquisite form are blended TO make q
picture of loneliness seldom seen No
children grace her home, so her husband
and his friends have been her most con-
slant associates. This perhaps accounts
for the fact that she is interested in such
matters as men discuss and feels it best
to leave all national questions in their
hands. She likes political discussions
and reads history rather than fiction.
Greatly admired, her i'll health, which
forbids all social life, is matter Of univer-
sal regret. A good German and French
scholar, the pleasures of frequent trips
to foreign lands has been greatly aug
mented by this fact.
As Lille Kennedy, daughter of Rob

was born and resided III Pittsburg until
her husband was elevated TO the supreme
bench last October. AS a child she spent
most of her time in a rambling, old fash
toned house surrounded by majestic
oak grove. With dogs and birds for
companions, her natural fondness for
animals was developed, while flowers
and the study of botany early became
subjects of interest. Her sunny rooms
at the Arlington, with flowers on man
tel, windows and brackets, speak elo-
quently Of continued care for her old
favorites. OF her two sons, the elder is
married and has two children. Mrs.
Shiras has a tall, commanding figure
and is decidedly a handsome woman.

taste, Mrs. Waite thoroughly enjoyed
entertaining the distinguished men her
homo was throngcd with during her hus-

has been abroad number Of times,

her life in Washington has done much
to remove the feeling that she is meet

The recent death OF Justice Lamar hes
revived a number of the romantic stories
which found their way into the press
when he and Mrs. Holt OF Macon mar
ried six years ago. There Is Just enough
of truth III all to preclude denial OF any.
One of Mr.. Lamar's daughters said TO
me that the first and most beautiful love
story she ever heard was told by her
mother, and her father was the hero.
Mrs. Lamar retains much of the beauty
for which she was noted when q girl,
and there Is an air OF sincerity and cor
diality Of manner when she says Il am
glad to meet you" that causes one to feel
as unrestrained as if greeting an old
friend rather than representative of
our highest social circle. 1t is not proba-
BILE that Mrs. Lamar Will again make
her home in Washington. She cares lit
tie for gay society, so it is quite likely
she will dispose of her pretty home and
hereafter reside with Mrs. Virgin, her
last remaining child.

rwo MURDERERs ESCAPED.


Sing Sing, N. Y. April 2i.- Roehle
and Pulister. two murderers, under
sentence of death, escaped from prison
last night. Both men are under sem
tence to be electrocuted soon.
Last night when Guard Pulse passed
supper in to Pullister the condemned
man threw a handful of pepper in the
guards eyes. Pulse was blinded and
Pullister rushed on him, took his re-
volver away and forced Hulse into Pull
listers cell, first taking the keys from
him. then locked Hulse In the cell and
unlocked the cell of the murderer,
Frank Roehle. The two murderers un-
locked the cells of Carlisle w. Har-
ris and the murdered Osgood. and in
yited these to escape with them, but
both Harris and Osgood refused.
Sing Sing. April H.-The brother Of
Roehl arrived ten days ago from Eu-
rope with. $1,000. which Roehl inherited.
1t is believed that the brother assisted
the men TO escape, and 1t is believed
that Harris refusal to take advantage
of the opportunity to escape will have
some weight with the governor in de-
Gliding his case.

This is the first time since the re-

serve has been cut into, counting in
subsidiary coin as a part Of the avail

subsidiary coin should be thus counted;
If not, time the reserve has been en-
croached upon seven times previous to
now. Sherer, of the clearing house
said, with regard to the gold situation:
II do not think any action necessary,
no artificial restriction that could be
placed upon the export Of gold would
mend matters in the least. we are
simply coming to a silver basis in the
natural course of events. and If the
present mode of financiering continues
we will soon have little gold in the
country, but will have plenty of silver"
